I do believe......once upon a time.....we had a conversation about diversifying ones portfolio?
I have now removed the rose colored glasses and come to the realization that this bird is nothing more than a steaming pile of fecal matter which just spewed outta pregnant dairy cows arse, I believe Cheech and Chong starred in a movie similar to this company... What was it... OH YEAH "Up in SMOKE"... yeah thats it.
I did notice how they are updating the website every week (ie. adding periods and moving names around) to make it look like they're doing something. I expect the next substantial filing will be one announcing bankruptcy... Well I must say I bought in lock stock and barrel, OUCH that left a mark, Brad you should of warned me about this terd.

All I'm saying is they could have thrown the shareholders some type of bone. Like maybe how many truckloads they're selling a week, no harm there since we don't know how much the trucks can haul.
I would love to see the numbers just as much as anyone.
They have no need to do it! What is their incentive? For shareholders?
Regardless of what anyone says or believes, they are trying to run a company. I don't think everyday they have a meeting or think about the best way to inform shareholders of progress.
Anyway, I think we will see the numbers with the quarterly filing. If not and we have sales then there is something to get upset about.
Let's get the sales PR or filing first! IMO
BW
Agree with you 100%, no reason not to release numbers.
Not at all
I just found that excuse for not disclosing production to be either poorly thought out or deceptive. I wouldn't expect problems to be fixed in a day. I am simply saying that this was a poor excuse for a PR and that was something that could have been fixed today.
I am by no means condemning the guy based on the contents of a single PR but I am condemning the PR itself. I assume you don't actually believe that they would be compromising a competitive advantage if they disclosed their production numbers a couple months before they are effectively tipped off in a filing?
Not a shareholder currently just an interested watcher.
Do you really expect next day results! Wow! You are a tough shareholder!
We don't see what is happening at the executive level at this company. How can you judge his performance over a couple of weeks and a press release?
When is the last time the CEO of GE announced he was going to pinch a loaf?
BW
That PR was nonsense
I continue to watch here but I am very glad I got out.
"The company continues to keep details of its operations and production rates proprietary in order to maintain its expanding technological lead on competitors"
This is just ridiculous. Eventually those production rates will show up in the 10Q's as revenue anyway unless they aren't selling any gas. Is there some magic breakthrough that will happen for competitors in the next 2 months if they realize ITRP is producing 10,000 MCF a day?
There is nothing proprietary about production rates. This would be like Intel saying
"We are quite proud of our new chipset that will begin shipping next week but for proprietary reasons we cannot provide you any details about chip performance as this would hurt our technological lead on our competitors."
IMO the more likely reason its not being divulged is to keep shareholders in the dark about unsatisfactory production. The effect of a new CEO will be interesting to see but I wouldn't like this start if I held shares.
FWIW
Speaking of PR's and the past 4 years, I remember whent the company could post a PR and the stock move 30% or better. It would be nice to get a little more attention and get some folks interested in the company.
-Fish
No argument here!
But at this point, once again, we have to give the new CEO his chance to produce. Financials were released last year on the 15th of May and I don't see why they would announce anything about sales before that.
A new project would be nice, but hey, we did not know they were make changes to IMPROVE the current process.
I, too, have been in this over 4 years knowing it was a long term penny stock. I am sick of things not seeming to work out then we have a PR that is positive but find it hard to get too excited about!
No doubt revenues will be in this next filing, IMO. The question is from what product and how much and future growth.
We'll see!
BW
I wonder if the 30% increase gets us back to pre-rumisen rates?
-Fish
Brook,
The only problem with the whole thing is they have to make money. No matter how good the technology is if they cant sell it or profit from it, we as the shareholders suffer. I have been reading PR's just like this for the past four years and to be quite frank I am tired of hearing about it. I want to hear about profits and positive funding, hell even the mention of new project would be nice. They had two years with the two tank operation at Whitesides to tinker, its time to produce now (And I am not referncing gas).

Intrepid Sets New Production Milestones
Friday May 2, 9:00 am ET
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho, May 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Intrepid Technology and Resources, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ITRP - News), a renewable biogas alternate energy, soil amendment and fertilizer company has during the month of April, 2008 attained its highest gas production rates yet from its Whitesides Biogas plant near Rupert Idaho.
ADVERTISEMENT
Gas quality continued to exceed the FERC standards for pipeline natural gas which allows Intrepid options for gas sales unavailable to other biogas companies as demonstrated by their ongoing ability to transport gas to industrial Propane users and CNG fleet vehicles.
The Company modified four of its ten digester tanks at the Whitesides facility which resulted in the higher gas production rates. The changes in the digesters have improved performance by over 30% since January. The remaining six tanks are scheduled for modification over the next two months which will further add to production capacity. Intrepid has seen a step-by-step increase in gas production with the modification of each tank. The company continues to keep details of its operations and production rates proprietary in order to maintain its expanding technological lead on competitors.
An additional compressor, to meet present and future anticipated demand, has been purchased by the company to further increase gas loading capacity for its three transports delivery trailers. The compressor is currently being installed and will be operational within three weeks.
Brad Frazee, Sr., Vice President for Biofuels Production recently stated: "Our employees have really risen to the challenge over the past year. Not only have we worked through the start-up of two of the largest biogas plants in the country, we have completed the learning curve associated with loading, compliant transportation, and off-loading of high-pressure trailers. No other company in the country has employees with that breadth of talent to successfully implement the processes and procedures necessary to bring a large commercial dairy operation into operation with minimal disruption to the dairy's daily operation."

Friday news is always good with this company!
This goes to show, once again, that they are doing things that we will not know about and just have to trust that they are running the company right!
This is a very positive development!
BW
Dissapointing....
Looks like Haffey made his first purchase, he is easing into it just like Brockage. It sure seems like he (Being CEO and all)would of invested a little more than 5K into the company, especially at these levels.... unless it isnt worth .35? I need to have my shares issued before they become extinct, at least then I can wipe my arse with em'... not sure that is a good idea either considering this company is irritating me enough already...
-Fish
Me, too!
Since when do farms have merry-go-rounds for cows to ride while being milked?
It was an impressive operation!
BW
Brook,
I watched Mike in action, that was interesting. I tell you the dairy life has gotten a bit complex over the years, I was amazed at the technology through out the whole operation.
-Fish
Anyone catch "Dirty Jobs" tonight?
Mike Rowe was on a cod fishing boat at first then was at a dairy farm. He was doing all sorts of jobs there on the farm and one happened to be pressure washing the outsides of the anaerobic digestor tanks. Which is what prompted me to come and see if anyone was on the boards tonight.
They did not go into detail, but this Indiana farm did say that the digester heats the entire farm and supplies electricity. They also use the end product to spread on the crops.
Wow, what an operation! Sounds familiar to me.
Hey, at least the farmers at Whitesides and Westpoint have free utilities! They sure are saving alot of money!
Good for them, they negotiated a great deal to themselves!
BW
We are talking about a .0040 cent stock, oops, I mean a .45 cent stock. Do you really think that anyone other than us 20 to 40 people even noticed this?
Until they have some national attention, ITRP is going no where!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Insider buying?! I say Great!!!!! That is the only way we know that something is happening!!
Sorry guys, a couple of glass of wine and reality sets in!!

fish - perhaps exercising of options?
Brookwater.. Thanks for the heads-up on the video. Pretty good report.
There exists legal as well as illegal insider trading. Here's what the SEC says about it:
http://www.sec.gov/answers/insider.htm
Insider Trading
"Insider trading" is a term that most investors have heard and usually associate with illegal conduct. But the term actually includes both legal and illegal conduct. The legal version is when corporate insiders—officers, directors, and employees—buy and sell stock in their own companies. When corporate insiders trade in their own securities, they must report their trades to the SEC. For more information about this type of insider trading and the reports insiders must file, please read "Forms 3, 4, 5" in our Fast Answers databank.
Illegal insider trading refers generally to buying or selling a security, in breach of a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence, while in possession of material, nonpublic information about the security. Insider trading violations may also include "tipping" such information, securities trading by the person "tipped," and securities trading by those who misappropriate such information.
Examples of insider trading cases that have been brought by the SEC are cases against:
Corporate officers, directors, and employees who traded the corporation's securities after learning of significant, confidential corporate developments;
Friends, business associates, family members, and other "tippees" of such officers, directors, and employees, who traded the securities after receiving such information;
Employees of law, banking, brokerage and printing firms who were given such information to provide services to the corporation whose securities they traded;
Government employees who learned of such information because of their employment by the government; and
Other persons who misappropriated, and took advantage of, confidential information from their employers.
Considering Kaiser hasnt bought any substantial shares in a few years, with the sudden buy and large amount one must assume he is trading on inside news... I believe this would be a bit illegal?
-Fish
..... KPVI news network is to do an article at itrp friday-- its a green energy article to put up on the airwaves -- i am hoping they at this meeting put out some real CONCRETE EVIDENCE of exactly what whitesides is producing per week-- and exactly what percentage that is to the design model..???so we can get on film either more lies or some real trasperant news.-- like...sz of trucks being loaded -- how much gas per truck..-- exactly how long a truck takes to fill- exactly after that filling how much gas is left to fill the next load etc..-- real facts-- from a thrird party watchdog..-- any news yet about kiaser being sued for his incompitance..
Could the private placement be with the new CEO?
jpklma
Anyone have any thoughts on the filing that popped up today... it is dated the 17th and refers to private placement notification?
-Fish
This is painful. Had high hopes, now all I can do is hang on and hope they get their act together.
All that money could have purchased several Subway Franchises that could have funded this POS> But they probably would have F'd up the sandwich shop biz too.
; O)
GLTA
dilution? has more shares been issued already?
Looks like it was one big purchase, Maybe Haffey is grabbing a handful of discount shares?
-Fish
Looks like a good bit of volume today, I wonder what's going on (Besides dilution)?
-Fish
I tried to do so at .75 the other day (Friday maybe), but no takers. Then the order expired and I got sucked further into QTWW. It's on my radar, dude.
Did you pick up any shares in that company I mentioned to you?
Oops, forgot about you, bsandy. I think Axle-and-Hub might have made some money, too. That makes three. I stand corrected.
Ummmmmm, that's not correct. :o)
LOL - I made some good bucks swing trading it in the past - then bought in big at .06 and held on through the split.
GLTA - we'll need it.
Suzu, you're the only one in the world who ever made any money on this stock!
didnt' know that. After symbol change, I didnt keep up...thx for the info
Hope he moves fast. :o)
suzuki98,
Don't cut yourself short. We just went through a reverse split, so right now you would be holding 1 for every 100 shares you owned.
Only 25 million shares at the company now.
BW
Brandon123 I first bought at .045 and sold at .06 I since havent looked at this stock until today and I'm sorry I sold all the shares I wish I would of took my intial investment and let the other ride. I always knew this company would do well!
I like the 3rd & 4th paragraphs. If they find a new partner they could get rid of Cornell.

New CEO!
Jack Haffey is captain of the ship! Could really turn things around and bring attention to ITR from his contacts in the energy sector!
We'll see!
BW
I nice quiet death, isnt it nice.

Questions for the board.
Why did cornell change their name or is it a subsidiary that is financing this round of convertible debentures?
Why this method of financing, especially after gas sales have
started?
If not enough sales to offset expenditures, then where is the reduction in expenditures? - in other words, why not live within your means?
Why the R/S and immediately afterwards, a convertible debenture
financing? This is a one two punch that has decimated any kind
of shareholder value.
Company officers have already had convertible debenture financing before - they know how it works and they know
this kind of financing is not called "toxic" financing without a reason.
Where is the fidicuary responsibility to shareholders?
if the company can't make it - then sell it, but if they do now, it's a fire sale and shareholder lose.
This R/S of 100 to 1 and a convertible debenture financing arrangement has sucked out any value for shareholders.
sarge
Speaking of......where's the other one. Hope he's not drunk and laying in a gutter somewhere. I'll go look for him.
She's rather harsh, isn't she.
