well ive been making some money on PEFF...I never put it on rec because the guys at Hermits Hovel where "99.99 sure it was a scam" but i was able to sell 60% of my position, after a couple months, to cover all my initial expenses and make a little so scam or not i'm pretty happy...if it is for real they put out a pr recently saying they had made some sales and if there are verifiable numbers this might be for real and, in that case, the share structure is very appealing. will give further updates soon

Copied from another board. I don't have a link but it is interesting anyways.....


BEFORE YOU BUY AN OTC PENNY STOCK

There are several key areas to look at when doing DD on an Over-the-counter pennystock. And it doesn't even include looking at the financial information.. . that is the least important thing to look at.

Share structure and distribution is the FIRST place our eyes should go when looking at an OTC stock. Don't even READ the news until you know whether or not 5 million shares were sold at .005 to a company in the Cayman Islands.

If so, you can rest assured that there will be heavy selling on any run up, as each new buy is met with an insider sell. And the stock will probably then get heavily shorted near the top. . and driven down to nothing. . and I do mean NOTHING.

And if the company does not report their financials to the SEC. . .RUN AWAY. Don't even consider them, because they will surely rip you off any way that they can. And if they SAY that they will soon be reporting their "audited" financials. . .run even faster. . .this means they have NO INTENTION of filing with the SEC. And even if they say "we will be filing with the SEC" or even "we HAVE submitted our financials to the SEC." DON'T BELIEVE THEM.

MDCE put out a half dozen press releases telling shareholders that they filed their financials with the SEC. . .but somehow. . .as if by magic. . .they have never appeared on the Edgars.

This stuff is the BASICS of penny trading.

SECOND, look at the HISTORY of the stock. . .was there a reverse split or reverse merger in its past? If so, there will probably be more problems or more reverse splits in the future. How long has the company been in business? It is one thing for a company to come up with an idea. . .it is CLEARLY another for same company to figure out a way to successfully market that product or service. . . and it is another thing yet, for the company to properly manage their money.

Take down the names of the officers of the companies, the investor relations people or firm and any other important parties. . .and do a "entire website" search at the SEC. This is not an Edgar search. . and can be found on the main page of the SEC, which EVERY penny trader should know very well. If your party comes up in the search, you can know their history. . if not, it does not mean they are "clear". . .they still could be under investigation or have played a smaller role in other scams, etc. . . .or just have never been caught. Be UN-trusting as a defense to loss and you will increase your chance at gains.

The easy way to do searches on SEC is to use "adj" between names like
John Smith. . ."john adj smith" . . if it is an odd last name, it should be fine by itself. . "stephanapolous" or "gianapolitana" or "santodominguez" etc. . .otherwise use adj on firm names like "La Jolla adj Capital" or "La adj Jolla adj Capital" . . this will keep the thousands of uses of "capital" or the city "La Jolla" from coming up in the search. It means literally adjacent" words.

THIRD, read the press releases with a cynical eye. . . if they say that the industry is reported to generate 14 billion in revenues each year and we estimate that our revenues in the coming year will be between 40 million and 60 million dollars. . .. RUN away.

If there is no LOGICAL and detailed explanation of HOW the company plans to make ANY money. . .then they don't. . . they just plan to sell shares. . to you? . . hopefully NO. . to the suckers that don't have a clue what they are doing. ANY reports of "projected" revenues should be based on PRIOR performance. . .if not, it is just a pie-in-the-sky arbitrary number picked out to make them look good to prospective penny traders.

If the company headquarters is in Vancouver, Boca Raton, La Jolla, Denver or Las Vegas. . . . RUN AWAY. There is an old saying in the record biz, where thousands of demo tapes are sent every week. . . "if we reject 100 percent of those wanting a record deal, we will be correct in our decision 99 percent of the time. . .and that ain't bad"

By catagorically denying ANY company hailing from these cities, thus rejecting 100 percent of them. . .we will be correct in our decision 99 percent of the time. And that is not bad.

Other suspect cities, which would require EXTENSIVE DD to justify,include New York City, Dallas, Houston, Palm Springs or other cities of the Coachella Valley, Ft. Lauderdale or other cities in South Florida, any city in Nevada, ANY city in Canada where everyone can short-sell penny stocks, any other "resort" city. . .

If Gucci has a store there. . .then chances are your company does not operate a 50,000 square foot building in the same town. . but rather is just one of many operations out of a small office there.

FOURTH. .INVESTIGATE. . . A good way to find out about the company? CALL THEM. NO, I don't mean to call the number they provide you. . .I mean call the local area directory assistance and ask for the company name. . . I have even gone as far as asked for the numbers of each of the officers of suspect companies, only to find that NOBODY had a listed number. . not even the company.

If the company has an unlisted number. . .think about it. . their customers or clients will not be able to find them. . they are absolutely bogus. If the CEO or his wife answers. .or there is a baby crying in the background. . .guess what? The company is being run out of the kitchen table of a house, and they want your money. . .why?
There are bills that need paid, that's why.

Another good trick, is to offer to visit the company headquarters on
short notice. . .say something like I will be in town first thing in the morning and would like directions to the company headquarters, so you can report back to your thread on Silicon Investor. . .yes they all read our threads.

If they say the company is moving, under construction or give ANY reason whatsoever for not allowing you there. . . you have your answer. . they are bogus. .don't believe them. . .if they offer to meet you elsewhere or to guide you in. . . decline and say, you may be late and insist on getting precise directions to the company headquarters. You will be amazed at the number of companies that will refuse to tell you.

If you are still interested in the company at this point. . .then you must ask yourself how much you are willing to lose. . . if you are "investing" 2,000 or more dollars, then go to Southwest Airlines website on a Tuesday thru Thursday and book a 33 to 99 dollar "internet special" flight there and go and see them for yourself. For just a same day trip. . or overnight if you feel adventurous. . .for just a few hundred bucks. . you can get a first hand account of where your money is going.

If they sell goods. . .you want to see the warehouse, shipping, receiving department. . .it should be impressive. . even if it is tiny. . if they sell services. . you want to see the laborers performing these services. . .if the company is nothing more than a small office with no laborers, because they "farm out" or their workers work "out of their homes" . . .RUN away. That is a lie. . the company is in business just to sell shares. In which case, be sure to note the leather interior of the CEO's car. . because that is what your 2,000 bucks bought.

Note the name or names on the door. Instead of the company name, does it say "capital.. .equity. . .investor. . .relations. . .financial". . etc??? Do
you know why? Because they operate NUMEROUS companies from the same office. . . in which case, your presence is not only NOT WANTED. . .it is threatening to their livelyhood.

If that is the case, I would not bother to even enter, as it may be a potentially dangerous or threatening situation. . . I would turn around and never look back.

But here is the part of penny trading that is the most important of all.. .and what I expect from each of us here on the fishing thread. . . when you have information about these companies like that described above. . and someone else is getting suckered into the same company. . . have the decency to tell them.

You don't need to go on the thread and tell eveyone they are invested in a bogus company. . .chances are good that they have already figured that out. . . but in the course of daily discussion, when the name pops up. . and you can shed some light. . do not hold back.

If they were unlisted. . say so. . if they have convertible debentures from an offshore placement. . say so. . .if there was a 1 for 100 reverse split a year ago. . .say so . . etc etc etc.

Not every company on the OTC or the Nasdaq is bogus.. . . but as I said on the Scammy Awards:

Welcome to the Over-The-Counter market of Electronic Bulletin Board and Pink Sheet stocks.

Out of 100,000 issues,
90,000 are scammys
9,000 are clueless
900 are really trying
Leaving 100 that are worth buying.

Yes!!!! Nuclear Energy ETF to Launch in U.S. This Fall

By Jon A. Nones
18 Jun 2007 at 03:04 PM GMT-04:00


St. LOUIS (ResourceInvestor.com) -- Van Eck Global is hoping to add another innovative exchange traded fund (ETF) to its family of Market Vectors with the launch of the world’s first nuclear energy ETF this fall. The New York-based fund advisor filed with the SEC last month with plans to launch its new fund in the U.S. in fall 2007.

Kathy Lang of Van Eck told RI that it will take about two and half months to hear back from the SEC, then the product will launch shortly thereafter on a U.S. exchange to be determined. She assured RI that the ETF would be available sooner than six months.




The Market Vectors – Nuclear Energy ETF will track the DAXglobal Nuclear Energy Index, a modified market-cap index that tracks global companies from uranium miners through final electrical generation, to be published by Deutsche Börse AG.

The Nuclear Energy Index will be comprised of common stocks and depository receipts that are listed for trading on major stock exchanges around the world, calculated using a modified market capitalization weighting methodology.

The index will be comprised of companies with market capitalizations greater than $150 million that have a worldwide average daily trading volume of at least $1 million and have maintained a monthly trading volume of 250,000 shares over the past six months.

Lang said the index is not yet completed, but the company will start work once it hears back from the SEC. However, all companies will derive at least 50% of their total revenues from the nuclear energy business.

The fund will normally invest at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies primarily engaged in seven sub-sectors:

Uranium mining
Uranium enrichment
Uranium storage
Uranium and nuclear equipment
Nuclear plant infrastructure
Nuclear fuel transportation
Nuclear energy generation
Van Eck will utilize an indexing investment approach to approximate the investment performance of the Nuclear Energy Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicate the index.

Because of the passive investment management approach of the fund, Van Eck expects the portfolio turnover rate to be under 30%, generally a lower turnover rate than for many other investment companies.

Van Eck anticipates that the fund will hold all of the securities which comprise the Nuclear Energy Index in proportion to their weighting. As such, the Nuclear Energy fund will normally invest at least 95% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Nuclear Energy Index.

Although Van Eck’s fund would be the world’s first broad-based nuclear energy ETF, there is another fund that operates much like a pure-play uranium ETF: Uranium Participation Corp [TSX:U], managed by Denison Mines [AMEX:DNN; TSX:DML].

Launched in May 2005, Uranium Participation Corp. (UPC) was created to invest in, hold and possibly sell uranium oxide in concentrates (U308). UPC reported its net asset value at May 31, 2007 was C$892.66 million with 4.2 million pounds of U308 and 1.2 million kilograms of uranium hexafluoride (UF6).

In July 2006, New City Investment Mangers launched Geiger Counter Limited, a mutual fund focussed on investing in uranium and nuclear power opportunities, on the London Stock Exchange [LSE:GCL] and Channel Islands Stock Exchange [CISX:GCL].

The fund invests in companies involved in the exploration, development or production of uranium, but also fossil fuels and potential alternative energy supplies.

Likewise, another mutual fund, Global Uranium Fund Inc. [TSX:GUR.UN], completed its initial public offering of 10,000,000 units today in Toronto for gross proceeds of $100 million.

Global Uranium Fund was designed to capitalize on strong investment fundamentals in the uranium sector by investing in companies who are producing or developing deposits, with some exploration issuers that “offer significant growth potential.”

As the uranium price closes in on $140/lb, now reportedly $138/lb, investors are likely to see many more vehicles emerge in the uranium and nuclear energy sectors.

MIVT news

MIV Therapeutics Names Methodist Hospital Research Cardiologist Dr. Greg Kaluza to Scientific Advisory Board
4:01p ET June 11, 2007 (Business Wire)
MIV Therapeutics (OTCBB:MIVT)(FWB:MIV), a leading developer of next-generation biocompatible coatings and advanced drug delivery systems for cardiovascular stents and other implantable medical devices, has announced that Dr. Greg L. Kaluza, M.D., Ph.D, a widely recognized expert in the field of interventional cardiology, has joined the company's Scientific Advisory Board, where he will help guide the company's clinical trials and other key research programs.

Dr. Kaluza is the F.A.C.C. Scientific Director at the Center for Research in Cardiovascular Interventions (CRCI) at the Methodist Hospital Research Institute in Houston, Texas. The CRCI is a multifaceted, highly specialized group focused on research in interventional cardiology. The CRCI houses an experimental animal laboratory, a cardiovascular angiographic analysis core, and a clinical research department.

"We believe that Dr. Kaluza's extensive experience and expertise will play a key roll in the development of our next generation cardiovascular stents," said Mark Landy, President of MIV Therapeutics. "We are very pleased to welcome him and feel honored to have him as a key member of our Advisory Board."

MIVT is developing a next-generation cardiovascular stent technology being designed to provide substantial health and safety benefits and outcomes over previous generations of drug-eluding stents. MIVT has developed a new line of both ultra-thin and drug-carrying cardiovascular stent coatings based on its proprietary hydroxyapatite (HAp) technology.

"I am looking forward to advising MIVT during this exciting period of growth for the Company as it moves its proprietary technologies from the laboratory to the marketplace," said Dr. Kaluza. "I believe that the industry is ready for the type of biocompatible stent coatings that MIVT is developing."

Dr. Kaluza has been published well over sixty times, including many engagements as a world recognized public speaker at major scientific symposiums. He has also been quoted in several manuscripts in International medical journals, on subjects such as prevention of restenosis in porcine model of balloon/stent injury with intra-coronary radiation and drug-eluting stents, development of bioresorbable stents, biocompatibility testing of medical device coatings, utility of intravascular ultrasound in predicting histologic outcomes in animal models of restenosis and atherosclerosis, as well as evaluation of Optical Coherence Tomography as a tool to monitor arterial responses to stenting and resorption of bioresorbable stents.

The role of the Scientific Advisory Board is to review and advise the Company's management and Board of Directors on scientific strategies and procedures and to provide input and critique on the Company's Research and Development activities.

About The Methodist Hospital Research Institute

The Methodist Hospital Research Institute in Houston, TX, is a cornerstone of The Methodist Hospital's strategic vision for its future as a top-ranked academic medical center. The Research Institute is committed to moving the latest discoveries in the laboratory to the bedside in order to provide a new standard of care for our patients in Houston and in other parts of the country.

About MIV Therapeutics Inc.

MIV Therapeutics is developing a next-generation line of advanced biocompatible coatings for passive and drug-eluting applications on cardiovascular stents and a broad range of other implantable medical devices. The Company's ultra-thin coating formulation is designed to protect surrounding tissue from potentially harmful interactions with bare metallic stents. The Company's unique ultra-thin coating platform is derived from an organic material called hydroxyapatite (HAp) which has demonstrated excellent safety and biocompatibility in vivo animal studies. Hydroxyapatite is a porous material that makes up the bone mineral and matrix of teeth and is widely used today as a bone substitute material and for coatings on implantable fixation devices in orthopedic, dental and other applications. The Company's novel polymer-free drug eluting technologies based on Hydroxyapatite could also provide an attractive alternative to current polymer-based drug eluting coatings on the stent market, which have been associated with undesirable medical effects. The Company's drug eluting coatings are additionally designed to suit a broad range of implantable medical devices that could benefit from highly customizable drug release profiles. MIVT has a Collaborative Research Agreement (CRA) with the University of British Columbia and has received Government grant for its research program on the "Development of Novel Drug Eluting Composite Coatings for Cardiovascular Stents," under the National Research Council-Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP). Under this sponsorship, the Company is expected to complete its drug-eluting research and development program and to reach product commercialization stage. MIVT's intellectual property portfolio includes patents held by the University of British Columbia (UBC). MIVT has worldwide exclusive rights to the technologies licensed from UBC. Key patent applications filed simultaneously in various countries around the world, further protect the commercial exclusivity of MIVT's own inventions in the global marketplace

Power Efficiency Corporation Announces Completion of Initial Digital Motor Efficiency Controllers and Patent Filed on Core ESAVE Technology(TM)
9:00a ET June 8, 2007 (Business Wire)
Power Efficiency Corporation (OTCBB: PEFF), a developer and manufacturer of advanced energy savings technologies for electric motors, today announced it has successfully completed certification testing and the manufacturing of initial units of its new motor efficiency controllers. The Company also announced it has filed a utility patent on its core energy saving technology, which it is branding "ESAVE Technology".

The newly completed units are being sent to major Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), mostly Global 1,000 corporations. These OEMs are evaluating the units for inclusion as a standard component to improve the efficiency of their electric motors that power their products.

"OEMs are looking for ways to make their products more efficient and green, and many of these OEMs have been expecting these controllers," said Steven Strasser, Power Efficiency Corporation's Chairman and CEO. "These OEMs have the potential to purchase tens of thousands of motor efficiency controllers per year, representing tens of millions of dollars in potential revenue. After testing by the OEMs, we expect to enter into price and quantity negotiations."

The digital motor efficiency controllers have passed all tests for Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and Underwriter Laboratories (UL) certification.

The Company also filed a utility patent in the U.S. on its core energy saving technology and made an international patent application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty. This technology is being branded ESAVE Technology(TM) and the Company has filed for a Trademark on the name.

Strasser continued, "This utility patent and the ESAVE Technology brand are cornerstones to the future of our business. We plan to incorporate the ESAVE Technology brand in licensing and private label agreements as the mark for its technology, so third party products will have 'ESAVE Inside'".

ckaged Home Solutions, Inc. Announces Substantial Restructuring to Take Advantage of Downturn of Housing Market
9:01a ET June 6, 2007 (Market Wire)
Packaged Home Solutions, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PKGH) www.packagedhomesolutions.com ("PHS" or "the Company") today announced that it completed a significant restructuring of its operations that management has been implementing over the last sixty days. The restructured operations are designed to take advantage of immediate opportunities that exist in the marketplace resulting from the downturn in the housing market throughout most of the United States, while continuing to focus on the long term goals of developing a national presence by the end of 2008.

The Company has restructured its operations around the success of its 89% owned subsidiary, Southeastern Renovations Inc., in attracting installation services for major retailers of home improvement products, as well as those homeowners who are now improving their homes instead of selling them during this downturn. Furthermore, the Company is exploiting the advantage of many smaller companies leaving the home improvement industry to exploit the advantage that it has as a manufacturer of hurricane windows and doors, as well as the direct manufacturing relationship it has established in China for the production of all kitchen and bath improvements that give PHS a cost and quality advantage over competing US based manufacturers and distributors.

Southeastern Renovations, which the Company purchased in December 2006, is presently servicing the northern Florida and southern Georgia markets for homeowners and major retailers who need licensed, bonded and financially solvent installation companies to handle the installation of home improvement products bought by homeowners in order to improve their homes. The Company is presently handling over $150,000 per month of such installation services in its geographic areas, at margins that exceed 22%. At the request of several major retailers, Southeast has over the last 60 days began expanding its service area, increased its installation workforce and is adding senior management in order to increase sales to over $300,000 per month in the next 60 days and over $1 million per month by the end of the year. Furthermore, SER is finalizing its negotiations with its first major acquisition extending its service area which will add substantial revenues to its base, as well as expand its installation capabilities. SER contemplates making a minimum of 1 substantial acquisition per quarter for the next four quarters.

The Company's wholly owned subsidiary Al-Vent Architectural Products Inc. has met with substantial market acceptance of its hurricane windows and doors, which have been tested to withstand hurricane force winds in excess of 275 miles per hour. The Company bought Al-Vent as a dormant company in December 2006 after the death of its founder. When PHS acquired the company, it had not actively marketed its products for over 12 month, was not actively manufacturing products and had no direction. Since taking control in January 2007, Al-Vent has generated sales of $650K and presently has outstanding bids for $300K. Al Vent has established manufacturing facilities in China which has reduced the cost of producing the windows and doors by 20% and resulted in engineering upgrades to its products that would have been too expensive in the US to implement and remain competitive. Al-Vent retains its manufacturing plant in North Carolina which is being utilized for emergency orders which can be sold at a substantial premium and for custom individual orders, which cannot be mass produced in China.

The Company has also formed PHS Wholesale Inc., which produces cabinets, toilets, bathroom and kitchen accessories and components in China for commercial projects located throughout the US, the Caribbean, and Latin and South America. Although there has been a substantial downturn in residential construction, there has not been a downturn in commercial construction. The Company has been approached by several major developers to provide more than just hurricane windows and doors, and the Company has leveraged its existing manufacturing capabilities in China to fulfill these needs. Although margins are substantially lower in the commercial fulfillment than the Company's residential services and products area, the orders are substantially larger. The Company is presently bidding on 4 major projects totaling $15MM in gross orders, which it expects to average gross margins of 15%. Wherever possible, SER will handle the installation of these products where an additional gross margin of 10% will be generated.

The Company has also negotiated a services agreement with a private real estate trust with initial capitalization of $5,000,000 which is purchasing distressed residential housing in the market areas in which the Company has existing locations. The REIT will focus on middle market homes in or near to foreclosure that need substantial improvement. The REIT will be purchasing homes at a substantial discount to market value as lenders attempt to deal with the increasing number of foreclosures in their market areas. For example, foreclosures in Cincinnati have increased from 150 per month a year ago to over 3000 a month currently. PHS will provide the product improvements for each house as well as the installation services for each house purchased by the REIT at its cost plus 10% but will also receive 25% of the net profits generated from the housing portfolio. The REIT will purchase approximately 5 to 10 homes per month beginning in July, improve these homes and then put the houses up for rent or resale when such improvements are completed. PHS' management believes that this relationship maximizes its expertise, allows it to smooth out its revenue streams during months when there is a downturn in its normal business lines, and allows an ultimate return greater than it could receive if it just sold its products and services to the REIT. Such operations will begin in July in Cincinnati and Jacksonville, Florida and be gradually expanded to the other geographic locations where PHS has a presence.

The Company is also announcing today a recapitalization of the Company and the addition of a new senior management team. Dan Smith has resigned his position as CEO of the Company for health reasons and in order to focus on sales and marketing for Al-Vent and PHS Wholesale as a full time consultant to such companies. Mr. Smith will continue to serve on the board of directors of the Company. The Company will now be led by Todd Medina, as CEO. Mr. Medina has over 30 years of experience in the home improvement business holding senior management positions with and representing The Home Depot, Sears Home Central and Owens Corning. Mr. Medina will also continue as CEO of SER. Mr. Medina will be announcing the further management senior management team members by the end of June, when he announces financial results for the second quarter of 2007, as well as the Company's financial guidance for the remainder of the year.

The Company has reduced its direct overhead over the past sixty days as well as recapitalized the Company for its expansion by converting all senior debt to equity at $.25 per share, with a two-year lockup period on the sale of such stock into the market. Such investor group has also committed to lend up to an additional $500,000 of short-term capital for the Company. As a requirement of this investor group, Mr. Medina and Mr. Smith have agreed to a prohibition from sale of their stock in the Company for an additional two-year period ending May 31, 2009.

Dan Smith and Todd Medina, in a joint statement describing the restructuring stated: "We apologize to our shareholders on the lack of information that we could release, which resulted in an unrealistic short-term stock price, while these significant developments were taking place at the Company, but as all shareholders can see from what we are announcing today, the steps that we have taken will result in substantial value for all shareholders. We will be announcing over the next few weeks material announcements on each part of this plan which will show our shareholders the immediate impact that these steps will have on both our top line but increased bottom line." Mr. Media continued: " I want to express my personal appreciation for the leadership of Dan Smith over the last three years in building a substantial company. Dan will continue to lead the sales and marketing efforts for the Company, while not being faced with the administrative burdens of running the day to day operations of the Company, which will now be absorbed by myself and the new senior management team. Although we are still positioned for growth in the residential home improvement area, the sign of a dynamic management team is to adjust to market conditions and implement strategies that maximize the opportunities that the market has generated for us. The housing downturn has decreased our competition, but given rise to immediate profit and expansion opportunities that really did not exist 12 months ago. We believe that our shareholders will realize long-term value for these short term opportunities that we are now exploiting."

finally -
it was only a matter of time...

http://www.calvert.com/funds_profile.html?fund=971&keepleftnav=Fund%20Profiles

so - you know the $ that are going to start pouring into these companies?! lets find out who they are..

[gravytrain]

lets get this board going again...

[gravytrain]

just did some research on SWTS

(and thats NOT SoutWest-atlanta-That-iS)

obviously these are always tough to say, but here are some things I was thinking about:

-i definately like the health play going forward - white tea, etc. if they get 'whole foods' or something along those lines this thing will take off nice. i really dont know too much about the grocery stores they were talking about from the south, but it seems to me this product would do better in a more high-end grocrey/health food store.

-company is losing money, but not that much. i read their 10q (or whatever its called..) and they mention something about 'consigned sales." that is a little confusing - so, if the products sell to an end consumer, is that when they can record the revenue??
-they say they have already produced 600k drinks, with a shelf life of 1 year. Does taste diminish over the year? Are they going to continually make more smaller batches thru the year?

-overall, I would peg this as a small-cap growth play in a sector that I do like. play at your own risk.

[III]

Currently...

EDEX - should have drill results this week

soured on pinkies and moved nvmg money into BB

SWTS - took off right away...GRAVY if you could look into this one it would be great!!!

[III]

GIGM releases Q1 today...profits up like 167% or something and the stock is down like a dollar??? just because they came out and said that no one should expect them to keep raising profits that much every single quarter...VALUATION IS STILL THE SAME...anyways

I don't follow USSE at all. I came in to ACMG just as their deal with USSE was fell apart (as Siam stepped in). There are a lot of questions that need be answered, and a lot of "privacy issues" which could be genuine or not. What gives me the most optimism is the industry demand, both ethanol and urethanes (and they have also added sweetners in the last PR), and the fact that they have been confirmed to be in talks with some rather large companies regarding licensing. The ethanol plants are all nice and good, but licensing a unique technology is a gold mine with 99% margins. I am in it mostly for the chance of those happening. Further "good stuff" includes a CEO who has a rich and documented scientific background, including holding previous patents, adn the fact that he was willing to put ALL his shares in escrow and give up control of his company in order further the business. If he was out to make a fast buck, this would not be the way to do it. No, at this point in time, I find myself believing in the technology and only wishing for more answers. I wouldn't bet thew farm on this, but a couple thousand bucks might go a long way in 4-5 years. It's a crapshoot, but what in pinkieland isn't??

[III]

was just there reading...250 posts since last night...this co. seems a lot like USSE which seems to come up often on the board...similar tech.'s (i'm familiar with the differences), both spin off a power div. since then USSE pps has suffered. i take it you see something different happening here???

TIA

[Sentinel]

That's what many are saying. I personally don't have a handle on it, but seeing that I am in this for a long term hold, it doesn't much matter to me. Feel free to ask your question on our board, though folks are a bit testy today because of the "perplexing" price action. LOL

[III]

Thanks for your help...been reading your board the last couple days and may be over there soon...so today is essentially the last day to get in on the divy???

III

[Sentinel]

gravytrain..FYI...re: ACMG...The lofty revenue projections come from a) that they will (presumably) have 5 ethanol plants running (1 in Canada by Sept 2007 and 4 in Thailand/Malaysia with the first one operational in late 2008), and b) they will be licensing their technology to multiple entities around the globe, according to their business plan, which I highly recommend reading at:

http://www.alcarchemicalsgroup.com/BP_07_11_rFeb07.pdf.

Recently there was a PR from Bajaj Hindustan (BHL), India's largest sugar producer, that it was evaluating ACMG technology for certain unnamed processes and products. ACMG has projected a continuous license with BHL and others in their business plan for licensing revenues. The license with BHL, IF it happens, is supposedly to come around June/July of this year. They are also talking with M&G Group, a huge global PET producer for licensing. This "conversation" was independently confirmed by investors via email with M&G. Additonally, they have said they will break the company into 2, one to run the plants and one to license the technology. The second company will be brought public immediately and shares in it will be given out as a dividend on a 1:1 basis with all ACMG shareholders as of March 30, 2007. Supposedly, today is essentially the last day to buy ACMG to get the dividend (from what I understand about others' discussions with their brokerages about settlement times)

In short, we all find the numbers very high as well, but are hopeful. It certainly will be a hot industry going forward, with huge demand. On the other hand, it could all be a scam. LOL No risk, no reward! Hope this helps.

[MCKINLEY MORGANFIELD]

you got that right..lol..gltu

[gravytrain]

yeah that is kind of interesting.
i wouldnt see the price near a dollar anytime soon...

maybe this is a long-term play?! the lender must see potential if they are being paid back w/ warrants, but that said...some of their prices for 2010 and whatnot seem pretty lofty. kinda like, if it hits that then awesome, but more likely to hit those nearer term targets w/ greater probability

[gravytrain]

interesting - i think it has to do with the "g" in the peg. hasent their growth been thru the roof lately? that probably skews the growth to really high. but- i guess then the question is the growh sustainable.

[III]

good call on alry...been following board and looking for good entry point...i think the time is now...plus lowman posting there always looks good.

Gravy: HELP...Been trying to figure this one out...i'm always wary of pinkies because none of this stuff has been finalized...but here it is...tell me what you think.

The first amount of 7.2 million dollars, subscribed as a convertible loan at $1 per share, will go towards the building and start-up of the first plant in Canada, to insure ACMG will be able to meet its contractual obligations, as well as the scale up engineering. The loan bares no interests and no repayment modalities for twenty-four months but will be automatically converted into 7.2 million shares baring a two-year restriction upon completion of the Canadian plant, expected for end of August 2007. -- Warrants are expected to be executed for each of the following four years, in April 2008 7.2 million restricted shares at $1.50 per share, in March 2009 7.2 million restricted shares at $3.50 per share, in February 2010 7.2 million restricted shares at $5 per share and in January 2011 7.2 million restricted shares at $10 per share, these amounts corresponding to the cash input scheduled within the business plan for the projected expansion of ACMG's ethanol production in South East Asia. -- In addition, Siam Renewable Energy Group will complete the forecasted financing of the ethanol facilities for a predetermined fixed amount of shares. The agreement defines that in March 2008 Siam Renewable Energy Group will return 17 million shares to Dr Cavasin from his shares held as security and will invest USD $65 million dollars to receive 30 million shares baring a two year restriction.

Upon completion of the third plant and beginning of construction of the fourth ethanol facility, foreseen for December 2010, Siam Renewable Energy Group will return 11.5 million shares to Dr. Cavasin from the remaining shares held as security and the balance of 5.5 million shares will be transferred to Siam Renewable Energy Group which will receive an additional 16 million shares baring a two year restriction issued to them at that time. -- With the singing of the agreement Dr. Cavasin's resignation as CEO of ACMG and his new position at Siam Renewable Energy Group as COO and Director of Operations becomes effective.

ACMG will be restructured according to a most recent plan now being finalized and which will be announced shortly. -- Following the four year expansion plan proposed by Siam Renewable Energy Group, ACMG will be operating five plants in Canada and South East Asia for which present management and shareholders in the float will hold 45% and Siam Renewable Energy Group will hold 55%. -- A final clause added and approved by the two Boards of Directors specifies that Siam Renewable Energy Group will acquire up to 30 million shares in the open market to a maximum of $1.00 per share and said "buy back" is to begin immediately. -- The definitive agreement is schedule to close on or before May 7, 2007.

looks like bvsn might be for real

here is what i would do..
take some valuation formula and apply that to what is in one of those recent press releases about earnings. for growth rate, do something conservative like 10 or 20% and see what it values that company at.

this seems to be on one of those rides that if it hits 5 i think it will hit 10
