Grain prices generally continued their upward rallies, as the worst drought since 1956 persists in adversely impacting crop conditions. This drought has not been alone in its devastation, as dry weather in Russia and Eastern Europe continues as well. Soybeans have experienced an upsurge of almost 45% this year, touching a record-high level of $17.71/bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) yesterday. Corn is also hovering above $8/bushel and touched a record high of $8.49 on August 10. In such a scenario, we have developed a trading strategy to play the future movements of three main agricultural commodities that are impacted by the drought the most - corn, soybeans and wheat. Our portfolio suggests long positions in selective stocks of fertilizers, seeds, machinery and grain ETFs, while short positions in crop insurers, meat producers and ethanol makers.

Everyone--Thanks for the info.
rhawkinss68 - it will still trade on the pinks...I think the NAZ runs the infrastucture for all the OTC securities...Both OTCBB and Pinks...
I think naz handles all of these things for pinkies, they would need a reverse split to get on the naz. and nobody wants a R/S.
There switching to the Nasday versus Pinks?
"NASDAQ has received everything necessary to effect the name change and forward split for FSIJ."
If so how does this effect pricing long term?

I don't know whether the moderator is still or not?..that makes a difference...
Best place to get insight on FSIJ. I generally use Ihub boards but this one in paticular seems really slow.
Thanks. Yea, puzzled with the market reaction. Maybe something bigger will happen.
there are some folks on the RB that think there is a larger plan...But no one seems to know what it is...Market reaction certainly seems favorable. Tomorrow will be interesting...As will the day of the split of course...
TFN
Agreed. Thought it would be bad news but for now ok.
Is this good or bad for us. I mean why on earth split at 0.0004-0.0007?
I generally do not buy penny stocks and splits do not bother me. But on a sub-penny it just sounds odd.
hit .0007 today...not sure where this will end
Some serious dilution it seems today...

basing around the .0007 level nicely...
I didn't like it at all...but it is a good reminder that this is still a stinkie pinkie and sometimes the mentality of the PRs reflect that fact....The company has more growing to do...
JMHO
PR is a little fluffy-but I guess it serves to remind investors of the real potential demand for the company's services.
Food Safe International -- Apollo Safe Scientific Group to Vigorously Pursue Food Safety Services
Tuesday January 4, 9:30 am ET

Additionally, FSIJ -- Apollo is pleased to announce its updated website page http://www.foodsafeint.com/services.asp, which allows the user to view FSIJ's updated services and future product line.
Another interesting day in front of FSIJ...
werzdamoney - I believe that if the MMs simply fill the orders they refused on Friday it will go up over as well...
.0007/.0008 should be new bottom IMO. If we get a name and symbol change PR next week that should be good for a little pop. Also, news on Exus Global deal should be out soon.
I suspect that by the end of next week FSIJ will be firmly over .001...May not be as high as .002 but will be steadily on its way there...IMHO
FSIJ a break of .001 again and it could move to .002 fairly quickly. this thing has broken so many that i wouldnt be surprised by a slower climb up as many are cleaning themselves of shares. they have refocused and are still under great management. recent broadened recognition can only help. i see bigger and better days ahead! all jmho.
HAPPY NEW YEAR and gltya!
Happy New Years.....I'm going keep a close eye this one.
-JJ
MMs refused to fill an order for 5 minutes..
3:55:24 PM Trade 0.0008 30000
JJ - yes it did...The MMs manipulated a lower close today as well...Happy New Year...
Congrats...looks like things held us well!!!!!! Hopefully, it getting ready for it's second run.
-JJ
MMs not filling orders....try to influence market next week...it ain't going to work...I don't think
12:08:34 PM Trade 0.0009 4500000 - nice
Here is some pink sheet herassey(sp)...Suppose this finishes in the green today? What would that portend? It is early yet....
it is early but I think it is already significant that there is no rush to drop after Yesterday's pop...JMHO
MMs locking it down for a while I guess....Ahh the life and times of the micro penny
Was that a trade for 1,000 shares? $1.00?
I agree.....the key here is whether management has more news queued up and ready to go. I get a little nervous waiting in the current market as I have gotten stuck in quite a few position over the last four months. All of the indicators are looking pretty good on this one for a short term run in the near future.
If only we had a crystal ball!
-JJ
I think the last PR will give it some staying power between .0006 and .0008....Today will probably be a slow day all over I think..
The only thought I have at this point is that expectations seem to be running high in regards to many folks that seem to have entered at > .0006
I’m hoping that it plays out well. Today is going to tell a lot about the trading pattern on this one. The question really becomes whether the MMs will now temporarily run it back down before allowing it to run further or whether it's ready to rock'n roll now! As we head towards and after lunch….that will most likely give a true indication of the direction of the stock over the next few trading days IMO.
-JJ
tomorrow will be very interesting for FSIJ...The news should continue to sink in to folks looking for the best story micro... FSIJ has a good one and it is still under .001... I say tomorrow will maintain above .0006 and close around .0008 on 80M shares....Just a hunch
LOL - Hoping that you make much bank. I flipped out of it today since I was in at .0003
I will be watching it closely for a rentry point. There a chance I might miss out on all of the real fun if the train decides to leave the station without me (it won't be the first time!) I have a feeling things are going to get interesting soon for FSIJ.
-JJ
