[shadysback]

Where's the interest in this company, I think in todays developments in the telecommunications industry this company should bear down on income in that department, any DD would help! Thx!

[pj McMulligan]

Wow up more than 200% today! Shall we buy more!? ;D lol

[Max Power]

so, with the chapter 11 reorg does that mean investors are basically screwed? is there any hope?

[The Real Titan]

Lmao... I feel your pain my friend, kick him once for me and everyone else he screwed over and continues to screw over.

As for play these, you can't hope to jump into a running stock after it made the kind of gains it had when you got in. Thats just scary risky IMO and 9.999999 times out of 10 you'll end up with Red Egg on your face. Not funny, just a painful reality.

Thats why we approach these POS scams as we do, only looking for the hard drop, then play the bounce and bail out before the bounce ends and it drops lower.

These are tough markets to survive in, trust nobody and certainly nothing you read in a PR or on a message board like this...lol

[IPRE-Paramount]

Today drop was too deep, too crazy, very nice opportunity for patient botom play traders for sure.
all the pink scam, i gave up long ago, and any chronic attempt from my part is a sure burn to hell. Was in 16.5 out 12 today !
sheesh.

Imperia : if if can grab this CFO , i could box him & kick his ash.

[The Real Titan]

Roflmao... Well, at least its not as bad as the company in your name. That was one of my first scams ever...lol

But trust me, I'm NOT investing here, we merely trade these stocks. But we've played this several times and tried one time to many on our last go, getting stuck on our re-entry at .07. Then we had to wait since November for it to start moving again, finally exiting yesterday at .09...lol

Then seeing it run to .18 and pull back to .057, it was just to hard to resist trying for another shot...lol Since there was no explanation for the run, other than some group decided it was time to run it and there's no explanation for the drop, then there's a good chance something may be in the works.

The chart looks like a breakout play, but those are usually preceded by news, which sparks the rally. I suppose it could be that its been removed from the Naked Short list, which would imply that whatever short positions existed, had been covered. But thats not usually enough to spark the kind of run this saw, from .03 to .18.

Either way, whatever the reason is, today pulled the RSI back to just above 50, which is exactly what you want to see in a breakout play. If thats how this pans out, then we should see it turn back around tomorrow and move back up above .10 at least. One good thing I noticed, besides the fact I'm green so far, is that the MFI and RSI are moving in unison. That would imply that this isn't being manipulated for the time being and its trading based on its own supply and demand.

We shall see how it pans out this time, but you can be sure I won't hold this for 3 months waiting on a 28.57% gain again....lol

[IPRE-Paramount]

lol good luck plain of bs push lol .gosh.

[The Real Titan]

Guess they should feel even more comfortable now, since it pulled back to .058...lol

I just bailed on this yesterday, after holding it for 3 months waiting for it to bounce. I got out a tad early, at .09, but made 28.57% for my troubles....lol

But after seeing it run to .18, then pulling back and then seeing it plummet to .057 today, I found myself wanting to get back in for another run...lol

So I'm back in at .058, just hoping it doesn't take 3 months to see another nice gain out of it...lol

Good Luck!!!

[The Real Titan]

Nobody much hanging around these days???

[IPRE-Paramount]

ok me :) nice close, good to see it pull back from hod, so it looks less scary for new traders to come in.

[pj McMulligan]

uhhhhh... up another 73.68 percent today right now~ anyone care to speak us a few words of wisdom?

[pj McMulligan]

oo lahlah~!! :D any1 in here with me??

[pj McMulligan]

Looks good for a nice pinch down here!

[MasterBlastr]

I thought this could be seeing a bottom but after I noticed all the S8 and post-effective filings it looks like this thing is going down more.

Charys Holding Company Technology Solution Provides Security Network for Florida Governor Inauguration

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BusinessWire
3:29 p.m. 01/11/2007


ATLANTA, Jan 11, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Charys Holding Company, Inc. ("Charys") (CHYS) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Charys Technology Group, Inc. ("CTG") provided field systems integration support to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, The Capitol Police, and the Seminole County Sheriff's Office for the operation of CTG's Rapid Deployment wireless surveillance network for the Florida Governor's Inaugural proceedings.

The broadband wireless network was deployed in those locations that did not have a pre-existing surveillance system in operation. A sampling of the January 2, 2007 events included a parade and festival held at the Governor's mansion, a morning, prayer breakfast on the campus of Florida A&M University and the swearing in ceremony at the State Capitol.

"These systems are a critical addition to the traditional approaches utilized by law enforcement officers to enhance situational surveillance and control in a non-permanent setting. Employing Wireless Mesh Broadband networks and digital IP video in a tactical environment is proving to be one of the most significant strategies in modernizing law enforcement technologies. The CTG supplied systems deploy quickly and are extremely versatile, while 'user-friendly' enough to be operated by non-technical personnel. The multiple radio wireless mesh configuration also allows the system to be scaled to meet any size deployment required," stated Joseph Macaluso, Director of Government Markets for CTG.

Michael Oyster, CEO of Charys Technology Group commented, "It has been a true honor to assist Governor Crist and the state of Florida during these inaugural events. Our solutions have been developed recognizing that, as the mission of law enforcement and defense agencies evolves with the changing security climate, so too must the tools utilized by their personnel. Our fast response solutions reduce transportation and personnel requirements, resulting in significant cost savings, without compromising safety or the effectiveness of security."

ATLANTA, Jan 04, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Charys Holding Company, Inc. ("Charys") (CHYS) announced today new achievements within three of its subsidiaries that are expected to have a significant impact on earnings.

Aeon Technologies, Inc. ("Aeon") has begun construction on a new multi-phase project with an estimated value exceeding $10 million. This project, with an industry leading international communications company, will furnish a statewide wireless system in the northeast by implementing multiple links of advanced digital microwave radio and associated antenna systems. Aeon will provide full turnkey installation, test and turn-up services for the 300 plus hop wireless backhaul solution.

Wade Clark, Aeon's President, stated, "The award of this contract demonstrates Aeon's commitment to quality, performance, and superior customer service. Our strong reputation in the microwave radio industry has been built on our experience implementing microwave backhaul systems in both the government and private sectors. Today's launch of the initial construction phase of this project also demonstrates the value of Charys' strategy to leverage across Charys subsidiaries. With this project we are able to utilize the scope and quality of Complete Tower Systems to better achieve our goals with this key customer."

Cotton USA ("Cotton") has been awarded a restoration project in Canada with an estimated value of $500,000. "Our goal has been to continue to expand our territory into new areas. This contract marks the first time that we have 'crossed the border' into Canada. We have planned and prepared for international support of our customers most critical needs, and we are now fully functional for international support. As our customer base expands our commitment to quality and responsiveness remains steadfast," noted Cotton Chairman, Pete Bell.

Ayin Tower Management Services, Inc. ("Ayin") continues to add tenants to its 30 tower portfolio, most recently preparing new License Agreements for installations on a Texas and Louisiana tower. "This will be the second tenant on both the Monroe, TX and Converse, LA towers," said Jimmy Taylor, President of Ayin. "Our strategic goal has always been to simplify the co-lo process for the tenant and increase the net revenue per tower throughout our portfolio. As an example, the timeline from application to License was less than 30 days and once installation is complete, our annual net revenue will increase by $36,600 or a combined 57.5% between the two towers."

Billy V. Ray, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Charys, commented, "These new contracts exemplify the forward momentum that we have been experiencing in the past few months. Wade and his Aeon team continue to be an industry benchmark as well as leading several teaming arrangements across Charys subsidiaries. Jimmy and his Ayin platform meet the needs of a demand driven wireless market and manage a growing portfolio of infrastructure assets. And Cotton, the newest member of our 'family' has planned and executed a chart of growth and has seamlessly integrated with C&B Services into our remediation business platform with their good reputation and history.

Each of these accomplishments shows the operational focus we have on organic growth. The integration of our subsidiaries focuses on leveraging the strong customer relationships that we have, and provides a unique service platform both domestically and internationally."

I just read through the PR and frankly don't know what to make of it. The bottom line seems to be that, and this is pretty much a guess, 1. the declining stock price is making it impossible to close all these acquisitions becasue they were negotiated with a higher price. 2> business is a lot crappier than they expected. I have a hunch that the stock is going to take a dive tomorrow and that will put them in a worse position. Anyone have other thoughts? Tim

Charys Holding Company's C&B - Cotton Subsidiaries Mark Key Achievements as ``New Cotton'' Integration Begins

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BusinessWire
10:00 a.m. 12/14/2006


ATLANTA, Dec 14, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Charys Holding Company, Inc. ("Charys") (CHYS) announced today several key agreements executed by its newly formed subsidiary C&B - Cotton. The new agreements show immediate momentum by the integrated company, formed following the previously announced merger of Charys' Crochet and Borel Services, Inc. ("C&B") and Cotton Companies ("Cotton").

The company has been awarded a General Services Administration ("GSA") contract and added to the Environmental Services Remediation Schedule, placing it in position for immediate government services assignments. The company has also been named Preferred Vendor for Liberty Mutual Commercial Insurance, based on the quality and value of services performed.

The GSA contract (#GS-10F-0061T), valid through November 2011, under the Environmental Services Remediation Schedule (899-8), streamlines the procurement process for federal agencies as well as other organizations in need of remediation services. GSA Contracting Officers award Schedule contracts to companies that meet strict criteria for quality and competitive pricing as well as comply with federal, state and/or local statutes and regulations. The GSA annually negotiates contracts for goods and services bought from the private sector, with approximately $44 million spent on remediation services to date in 2006 and $73 million in 2005.

Troy Crochet, President of C&B, stated, "This GSA contract will simplify government agencies' access to our services by eliminating the burdensome and exhaustive bidding and contracting process and will allow us to quickly and cost-effectively focus all of our efforts on providing quality and consistency during our customers' most devastating and vulnerable moments. Our high quality back office administration has a proven ability of providing timely and accurate documentation required by government agencies. Now, with the GSA contract, government agencies will have even more streamlined access to our services in any event or crisis situation."

C&B has also added four new companies to its Preferred Client List by entering into Advance Emergency Response Agreements for the expeditious response and mitigation of future property loss: Elliott Merrill Management, headquartered in Vero Beach, FL, manages more than 80 properties, including 9,096 units in high rise condominiums; First Services Credit Unions is one of the largest credit unions in Houston, TX with more than 35,000 members and eleven locations; Spanish Key Condominium, a high rise resort complex located in Perdido Key, FL; and Gulf States Health Services which provides rehabilitation and long-term acute care in 12 locations throughout Louisiana.

Cotton has been named as a Preferred Vendor by Liberty Mutual Commercial Insurance, a leading global insurer and the sixth largest property and casualty insurer in the US. Pete Bell, president of Cotton noted, "This achievement with Liberty Mutual is a great testimony to the quality and value placed on our ongoing service to Liberty clients. We are committed to providing the highest levels of service in every situation we are brought in to, large or small. Our business continues strong, with Cotton in the final stages of the $1.1 million dollar restoration contract with Wheaton College after an October rainstorm caused major flood and water damage to several buildings on its Wheaton, IL campus. We are also near completion on a $200,000 contract with Sports Authority in Connecticut."

Billy Ray, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Charys, added, "The recognition given to both C&B and Cotton by these high caliber organizations exemplifies the reputation and trust they have engendered throughout the remediation industry. These achievements further strengthen our commitment of becoming a complete solutions provider in the business services segment of the infrastructure market. Charys' umbrella of companies covers its customers from first response, to reconstruction, through the recovery and restoration of data/communication networks, and with their ongoing service management needs."

Charys Holding Company Closes Acquisition of Cotton Companies

Monday December 11, 10:00 am ET

Integration with C&B Services Positions "Cotton" as One of the Largest Reconstruction-Restoration Companies in the World


ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Charys Holding Company, Inc. ("Charys") (OTC Bulletin Board: CHYS - News) announced today the closing of its acquisition of Cotton Companies ("Cotton"). The acquisition of Cotton is immediately accretive to earnings.

In the cash and stock transaction, Charys today acquired a 40% ownership in Cotton and an option to acquire the remaining 60% within 90 days. Including prior consideration, Charys to date has paid $16 million and 1,955,532 restricted shares of Charys common stock. Charys may acquire the remaining 60% of Cotton for the sum of $32,168,000, on or before March 8, 2007. Based on pro forma financials as of April 30, 2006, Cotton revenue was $79.076 million with $19.363 million pre-tax income.

As previously announced, Charys will create C&B Holding Company, Inc. in order to assimilate Cotton with Charys' existing restoration and remediation subsidiary, Crochet and Borel Services, Inc. ("C&B"). Cotton will become the international brand name and operating entity. An Integration Plan has been developed that will immediately capture the strengths of each company, and enhance the total benefits provided to the combined customer base.

Cotton, with nine US locations, provides commercial and residential reconstruction and remediation services nationally and internationally. Home Depot (NYSE: HD - News), Marriott (NYSE: MAR - News), Starwood Hotels and Resorts (NYSE: HOT - News), The Palms Restaurant, Food Lion and Sports Authority are just a sampling of the high-end, blue chip customers serviced by Cotton.

C&B, one of the nations leading disaster remediation and service providers serves a blue-chip client base that includes Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT - News), Chevron-Phillips Refinery, SunTrust (NYSE: STI - News), the US Department of Homeland Security, JC Penney (NYSE: JCP - News), the US Naval Hospital (Pensacola) and the Housing Authority of New Orleans, among others.

When combined with C&B, the "New Cotton" will provide a broad array of remediation and reconstruction services and will become one of the strongest such companies in preparedness for extraordinary events such as hurricanes and other natural disasters.

The portfolio of services is further enhanced by the capabilities of other Charys subsidiaries. For example, "New Cotton" can also provide customers advanced tower and infrastructure construction services. In addition, technology products and services will be available that will not only replace but also upgrade and improve the existing capabilities.

Cotton President and CEO, Pete Bell commented, "The 'marriage' of our two companies, who have been respectful competitors in the past, creates a predominant force in the crisis and disaster response industry. Whereas Cotton addresses day-to-day catastrophes, including fire and water damage, C&B focuses on high-end disasters, hurricanes and floods for example. The combination of our respective resources, experience, and clientele will expand our capabilities and pave the way for organic growth while simultaneously providing the highest levels of service and responsiveness to our customers."

Troy Crochet, President of C&B said, "Today is the start of a new, powerful enterprise that provides a complete service solution to the broad customer base of

both Cotton and C&B. Our teams have been working very hard to design and plan for an integrated company that hits the ground running. I am proud of the efforts of our team, and excited to move forward with Pete Bell, Daryn Ebrecht and all of the Cotton and C&B associates. "

Billy V. Ray, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Charys stated, "We are delighted that this first stage of the acquisition of Cotton has been completed. Although the road to completion has taken longer than anticipated, the culmination of our combined efforts will result in the formation of a truly remarkable organization. I am confident that the New Cotton will become an industry benchmark, with the most responsive employees and process that place customers first, as they deliver those critical services most needed in emergency situations. Cotton complements our existing business plan with their impeccable reputation and history. Charys' 'one-stop' complete solution strategy implemented over our entire Integrated Infrastructure Services platform is uniquely customer centric which should continue to enhance our revenues and profits and increase our shareholder value."

Commenting on Charys' additional activities, Mr. Ray added, "This closing represents the next step in the strategic growth of Charys. We have aligned our acquisitions and financing activities and are following our plan. The next round is formally underway, as we continue moving aggressively to fully acquire the remainder of Cotton, as well as finalize the funding of the CTSI and MSAI companies."

Further details regarding this acquisition will be forthcoming in Charys' Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Charys Holding Company Subsidiary Partners with ShoreTel(TM) to Bring Next-Generation VoIP Solutions to Businesses

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BusinessWire

IP Telephony Leverages Data Applications and Infrastructure; Delivers More for Less
ATLANTA, Dec 06, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Charys Holding Company, Inc.'s ("Charys") (CHYS) subsidiary Method IQ, Inc. and ShoreTel, Inc., the innovation leader in enterprise IP telephony, today announced that they are partnering to bring the benefits of next-generation voice technologies to business in the Southeast. Method IQ is now using ShoreTel's award-winning ShoreTel 6 IP PBX platform to create cost-effective business phone systems that can bring voice and data together in powerful ways, including voice-and-data conferencing and virtual contact centers.

IP voice systems reduce voice signals to standard Internet Protocol data packets, so conversations can run over data networks. This eliminates the need to build and maintain two separate networks, and enables business applications that combine voice and data. It also gives voice the routing flexibility and location independence that makes a website on another continent seem closer than the shop next door.

"Thanks to the simplicity and reliability of ShoreTel's IP voice technology, convergence is no longer restricted to the bleeding edge," said Aaron Masih, Method IQ's Vice President of Strategy and Marketing. "It is now a practical alternative for businesses of all types, sizes and geographic configurations. Voice and data are moving inexorably together, and ShoreTel's unique IP voice systems are now giving our customers a head start on the future as well as the competitive advantage today."

"We are delighted to welcome Method IQ to the ShoreTel team of channel partners," said Joe Vitalone, ShoreTel's vice president of sales and business development. "Unlike traditional phone systems, IP voice is extremely flexible and provides endless opportunities for customization and adding value. However, this requires intimate knowledge of specific customer needs, which we rely on our channel partners to possess. Method IQ is not merely installing our products, but also elevating the business phone system from a taken-for-granted utility to a productivity-boosting environment."

The applications bundled into the enterprise-class phone system include voicemail, an automated attendant, automatic call distribution, call detail recording, unified voice mail, and desktop call control. Everything is accessed from the same intuitive Windows-based interface, making the system very easy to use and manage.

Multiple Locations, One Phone System

The ShoreTel voice communication system and all of its applications operate across multiple sites, so businesses with more than one location leverage a single phone system. Calls are automatically routed among sites, enabling receptionists and assistants at one office to transparently field incoming calls for another. Interoffice calls that extend beyond the local dialing area bypass toll and long distance carriers and "ride for free" on the data network.

Users interact with the ShoreTel system through a Windows-based Personal Call Manager application and can check the presence of other employees anywhere on the enterprise network before placing or transferring calls to them. Integration with Microsoft Outlook enables automated point-and-click and dial-by-name dialing.

When calls come in for people not currently present on the network, ShoreTel Smart(TM) systems can check outlook calendar information before deciding how to handle the call. This is one of many features that makes the ShoreTel system particularly adept at support increasingly mobile workforces.

"ShoreTel's IP voice communication system is user-centric, associating phone numbers with people, not offices," said Masih. "Your calls find you whether you are at your desk, working at a branch office, or using a PC-based softphone at home, in a hotel room or some other remote location. You give out a single contact number and have a single voicemail box, eliminating a lot of redundant phones calls and duplicate messages. And you get to use a consistent voice environment, wherever you want to work."

Better Conferencing and Contact Center Options

Method IQ and ShoreTel also offer conferencing and contact center solutions that integrate with the ShoreTel system, reducing costs and improving customer service.

ShoreTel's converged conferencing combines audio conferencing with data sharing, providing a much richer communications environment for collaboration or interactions with customers. It eliminates the need to reserve time on costly conferencing services, or to engage them at all. Ad-hoc conferences can be set up as needed.

ShoreTel contact center solutions operate across multiple locations as virtual contact centers, and can do skills-based routing to match the most appropriate agent to a particular caller. When integrated with a customer database, the system can check order status and other variables before routing the call. Supervisor tools enable agent monitoring and historical reporting of agent performance, and provide real-time statistical views.

"IP telephony represents a new voice paradigm," said Masih. "Using ShoreTel's unique VoIP solutions, we can minimize the disruption of this paradigm shift while providing businesses with a powerful new communications environment."

Man, seems to be a lot more selling ...

... here around $3, than there was buying around 2.10-2.50.

Resistance here is proving to be pretty tough at the moment.

Charys Holding Company Subsidiary Announces New Unified Messaging Services

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BusinessWire

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 provides a unique opportunity for IT leaders
ATLANTA, Dec 04, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Charys Holding Company, Inc. ("Charys") (CHYS) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Method IQ, Inc. ("MIQ'), announced today the launch of a set of solutions and services to support the deployment of the latest unified messaging capabilities found in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.

"Method IQ is clearly excited to work together with Microsoft in delivering their newest chapter in enterprise communications strategy, " says Aaron Masih, VP of Strategy and Marketing. "We have been deploying unified messaging solutions for years using vendor-centric products, and have witnessed the power of integrated communications in our clients' organizations. Exchange Server 2007 now allows us to introduce the benefits of UM to nearly any organization while maintaining their existing telephony investments."

In the past, companies were forced to manage parallel investments in communications platforms such as voice communications through IP-PBXs, and separately; email, instant messaging and web communications through PCs. Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 marks the start of the third wave of unified messaging technology: robust, interoperable, server-based tools that integrate with desktop and mobile clients to give information workers access to voice, fax, and e-mail data from wherever they are and allows users to use the telephone to manage their email, calendar, and personal contacts.

"Customers are looking for cost-effective solutions that will allow them to enjoy all the benefits of their Exchange Server messaging solution while still using their existing hardware investments," said Kim Akers, general manager of Unified Communications at Microsoft. "Industry partners such as Method IQ will help meet this demand by offering its expertise with services designed to help organizations quickly and easily begin taking advantage of Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging capabilities."

CHYS still trying to give a buy signal ...

... Wm%R made the move, Full Stochs had a positive crossover, MACD went positive ... but Aroon Up isn't playing along yet, and neither is ADX.

Possibly if CHYS can get beyond resistance in the high $2's and over $3 a bit, everything will line up and look even better for the longer term.

Came soooo close to filling that old gap ...

... from April, perhaps it was close enough. 2.08 would have done it, maybe even 2.09, and CHYS did see 2.10.

Trying to give a little buy signal soon? If Wm%R crosses 50 to the upside and ADX has a positive cross I might buy some for the heckuvit, but I'd sure rather see some deal-closing/financing news. Amazing how CMF has stayed green throughout this ~80% decline of the highs.

[UKfan]

CHYS image has been tainted by their association with HSOA and Stock lemons assault on HSOA’s honesty.

I really wonder how Troy over at C and b feels about now. He is due to have his holdings in CHYS dramatically increased in 2007 if CHYS is not selling at above $12 or share. Id say he must be wondering if he will ever be able to shell off 10 million or so shares given the light volume that CHYS enjoys. If CHYS gives him additional shares to make up for there poor price performance then it further dilutes our own holdings.

For what its worth I have a meeting with several partners over the next 3 days and the order of business is a reverse merger for my own company. I hope to have my own place here on Investors Hub during the next year. Good luck to all.

[jonesieatl]

Might as well fill that gap between 2.08 & 2.17 ...

... now that CHYS is down here.

jonesie

[jonesieatl]

Hmmm, on previous trips to this support area ...

... CHYS spent at most one day trading here before bouncing up. This time it has been here for 12 days ... accumulation going on before a run, or finally going to break through this support?

Cotton closing still slated for 11/15, right?

Charys Holding Company's C& B Subsidiary signs new contracts, Expanding Emergency Response Clientele

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Client Base Increases Significantly as Acquisition of Cotton Companies Nears
ATLANTA, Nov 01, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Charys Holding Company, Inc. ("Charys") (CHYS), a leader in the Integrated Infrastructure and Technology Services sector, announced today that its subsidiary Crochet & Borel Services, Inc. ("C&B"), a leading national provider of recovery, restoration, and rebuilding services, has entered into Advance Emergency Response Agreements with three new clients for the expeditious response and mitigation of future property loss.

C&B's agreement with the Louisiana Housing Council, a chapter of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials, covers over 100 cities in Louisiana including apartment complexes and public housing. C&B will be positioned as an integral part of the Louisiana Housing Council's mission to "...improve standards in all phases of housing and community development."

C&B also announced entering into a new contract with Prologis Properties in Houston, TX. for its multi-location emergency response solution. The agreement covers over 10,000,000 square feet in 96 buildings and provides for immediate restoration response to customers of Prologis property management services.

A new Advance Emergency Response Agreement has also been signed with Capital One, formerly Hibernia Banks, one of the largest banking facilities in the Gulf South. With coverage of 3,000,000 square feet in more than 400 buildings C&B will provide its emergency response solution in support of Capital One's commitment to superior customer service.

"Our customers are our foundation. Nothing is more important to us than meeting their needs. These new agreements are a testament to the quality, commitment and responsiveness we demonstrate to all of our clients. In times of crisis, when they need us most, we are there for them, and they can always expect the very best from us," stated Troy Crochet, president of C&B.

Billy Ray Jr., CEO of Charys, added: "I believe that C&B's proven capacity to bring the necessary amounts of equipment, resources and manpower to bear in a disaster situation are the major factors in the expansion of their client base. And by utilizing the entire Charys business platform we can provide a complete solution for all of our clients which allows for nearly any eventuality."

The closing of the previously announced acquisition of Cotton Companies (Cotton) has been extended to November 15th in order to complete the syndication documentation. C&B and Cotton remain poised to introduce the combined new "Cotton" brand upon closing. Cotton will become the international branding and operating entity and will be one of the largest companies of its kind in the world.

Yet another return to this support area ...

... I still wonder if CHYS will fill that old gap around 2.20 ... maybe not. Picking up a few in here this morning.

[jonesieatl]

Not sure I really like this stock any more LOL

Maybe it will grow up and figure out what it wants to be one day ;)

Good call UKfan ...

... my little system confirmed a buy at the close yesterday. In addition CHYS closed above the downtrend line in the short term descending triangle.

Now I have to concern myself with the old "3 days in play ...." adage (which proved itself early July and again mid-July), while faster gunslingers are already up ~30% LOL

Kinda kicking myself for not gunning it on the double-bottom ~$2.87/$2.84/sh, oh well, I work the system as best I can ;)

jonesie

[UKfan]

Some one bought 1 million shares of hsoa today. I stumbled into the trade as it was ongoing. I was too chicken to jump in however.

[UKfan]

Did I call that mcad divergence right or what. I quote from my post of 9/11 “Chys is very oversold here and there is a great MCAD divergence at today’s close. I love trading MCAD divergences so I bought a lot more CHYS today. I am now in (dollar cost averaged) at 3.35 a share. This puppy is headed higher probably to 3.80 or so.”

[jonesieatl]

CHYS chart looking interesting.

MACD and Full Stochs playing nice, but Wm%R hasn't confirmed yet, nor ADX, and Aroon UP headed back down.

Also CHYS is right up against the downtrend line in this latest descending triangle, crossing that to the upside could be a key component of assuring some growth going forward.

(Note: My methods for the most part look for opportunities for longer-term swing trades or longer-term growth, not quick day-trades. Obviously a successful guess/purchase at recent lows has had gains attached to it, but that's another ball-game)

JMHO -jonesie

[jonesieatl]

NaperGirl911:

You could be right.

I'm waiting for a little chart confirmation, I'd even be glad to pay more per share after waiting for that. Got a new descending triangle going on, I'll at least wait for Wm%R to cross -50 to the upside and hopefully by then a few more indicators would be playing along.

JMHO
