I get a kick out of these boys, they have a xmas giveaway each year, but they don't seem to give a hearty ship about the investors.
Oh well l had to wipe out a whopping 500.00 in gains for the year so l sold a few of these loser shares. Now l am even with the gov. and still poor.
Virg
Just like watching paint dry. Maybe my decendents will make a few bucks on this one.
Virg
The fact that they've locked the barn door now that all the cows have gotten out does not make them good ranchers======================================================
Yeah but they still have a lot of bull sh=it left.
Virg
GOAT,You might want to reread the two messages that l posted. Superbee is a board moderator. The other were my views on the company,and a employee,both totally different folks.
Virg
About your email to John Hayden,there is no way he would transfer any info on anything that could be traced back to him. l had one of those long talks with the man and he came away in my mind as a two/bit used car salesman.
l have no idea if these boys will come out of this right side up,but l regularly get info. requests from lawyers that are sueing crocked companys and their owners. Wonder how long it will take to get a request for share info on this beauty.Again, l would not trust anything that they put out ,unless lt is certified by someone that is trustworthy,that would eliminate anyone from this company.
Virg
Superbee,
l have 100-125 original and in top condition Mopar magazines dating back to the 70s. Also a 70 Charger repair book.
l cannot post a private message on here,but if you might be intrested in buying them go to investors village and PM me.
Virg
l notice there is a bit of intrest in the pit. Has anyone in the area driven over to the other pit that is still in operation and asked what they know? As a rule those folks would know something,similar to fishing boat captains.
Virg
I read here last week that Atlas was bought out by another company and I'm sure the phone number has changed.
Xylan
At the rate Paul buys things he knows nothing about, they may now own a transfer company. Oh god that is a really bad thought, can you imagine this company with a printing press?
Virg
First off is there a way to start a string without paying for membership?
Second thing is all the shares that were removed from the treasury had to go somewhere, why would they not have gone to the owners of the companys that we bought? All those dumped shares that have been holding the pps down are most likley the previous owners getting retirement funds. As far as the cash flow problem,have you ever bought a used car,house apartment building,airplane,ect, that did not need a cash infusion. Our problem is these folks are not curitous enough to leave us know whats going on.
Virg
Board looks a bit dated, they came out with some good qtrly#s today at close,may turn this around. Sure would like to see it back near 12.00 again.
Virg
Can someone say for sure(or not) if the company has to report all business activitys in their yearly report? To include all purchase prices, sales per unit, any activity in their oil drilling business, how the engine test equiptment is going,sales in their condo project?
Or do we just have to guess at what they are doing or at least saying they are doing.
Virg
O.T.
Thats just the way l would have pictured you USC. Long and proud, just a bit thorney though. he he
Virg
Why didn't you post what VP & SW told you!
---------------------------------------------------------------Better yet you should have told them to post right here, maybe we could add some more charges.
Virg
Now that should be deleted!
Just spent 15 minutes on phone with the poor overloaded receptionest Pat Neigh, as usual she does not know much, though she says we still own pro gas(l thought we had lost it) No one in or in conference as usual. She calls the boards gossip columes and suggests we go to PBLS (OFFICAL) web site to get truthful info. he he Told her that some of us feel that the company has taken advantage of the market,with us giving them 10.00 to invest and they are offering to repay us 1.00 without a explanation of where our money went.l stressed the need for a truthful and factual P.R. and she promised to relay the message. blah blah blah.For what it is worth she recived 8 other calls while l was talking to her, so it may have been why no one got thru.
Virg
Rally,per your phone call to the P.D. will you call again and ask for a copy to be mailed to you of their findings, and maybe any news leads to the papers?
Virg
No what l was surmising was, could they have sold the shares short 9 months ago at .03 and now are buying them back at.003-.004 Scratch your head about that.
Virg

yea, i have that same question. how does the daily volume and increase in OS equate? is the increase in OS accounted for at all in the daily volume of shares traded as shown in the historical of level II?
==============================================================How this for a idea, suppose the company sold all these last billion shares short and is now buying them back at 1/10 of what they sold them for with the increase in shares. The only senario l would not understand is what did they do with the bucks!Would that be illigeal?
Virg
Two things most of us try not to do
(1)Talk about someones wife
(2)Talk about our religion.
Lets try that!
Virg
That was the name he gave when he called!Could have been Paul or even M.R. for all l know,but the company did call back.
Here is the # that l called(985)792-4771 Try it yourself.
Virg
Just put a 1/2 hour with John Hayden, the man is a master of bull sh=it. Would not confirm or deny anything, said the bounced checks were reissued last week, when l said l was still waiting for one, he told me the mail service in Louisana is the slowest in the nation and can take up to two weeks to be delivered.(l lied to him about being eligible for a check)The pit is locked down,he said it never was a asset to the company.He went over and over about being country bumpkins being taken by city slickers, and M.R. was being indicted in four states.
He absolutely would not budge on any time lines as far as a P.R. kept stating that the company is under court orders to maintain a strict silence. When l told him that the wronged party can say whatever they know is truthful and factual he then informed me that it was on advice of counsel.
l asked about the new offices and was told they were completed but vacant, when l inquired if they have over twenty businesses to run he stated the bookkeeping chores were up to date and were working fine in the main office, but the head bookkeeper was out for a week and 1/2 on stress leave.
For whats its worth the only way that l belive l got them to call back was to yell at the switchboard girl and demand to talk to someone in authority,when he called back he accused me of scaring the girl(ha ha).
Well l feel l did my part to ruin his day why don't some of you guys keep calling, maybe we can drive them to a P.R.
Virg
383 For whats its worth,you came in and did a very thankless job. Well done,l would think you will be glad to see the end to this mess,and a lot of bashers,crybabys and outright liers. l have always said that if you cannot afford to invest you should not be in the market.
O.T
Maybe next year we will both be garageing a Hemi Challenger. l hope,l hope,l hope.
Virg
l tend to agree with you,this is and has been a producing company that just grew faster than their cash flow. The one way many companys in cash flow trouble operate is off their workers comp. and employees witholding taxes.
It is justified if you can cover before the payments come due,and even after,the govt. may take a month or two to catch up,when they do they will freeze all accounts and you have to send your bookkeeping dept.to the IRS and then to the workmans comp.carrier,write checks for back sums owed before they will unfreeze the accounts.When this sort of thing happens,your old bank usually will not want your account back due to a lot of extra work and other banks will not to help either.
l have seen this happen to a lot of contractors in Calif.even doing govt.work the draws can take up to six months to post,it happened to me once and l almost had to shut down for awhile,glad l had friends and credit.
Virg
I have been on hold for the last 15 minutes, the operator comes on every 2-3 minutes and says she is trying to get me thru but all three of their lines are tied up.Here is hopeing that they are talking to some of us. She has informed me she has to leave at 5:00 and l told her l would wait.
Well they outfoxed me, she came back on and said someone will call back either tonight or in the morn. She did take my # though.
Virg
mthead, if you live in the area why not call a local cement contractor, and ask if he knows of the local pits that are in operation,they are not very hard to find.
Leave us know
Virg
o.t.a few funnies
A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office.
"Is it true," she wanted to know,
"that the medication you prescribed has
to be taken for the rest of my life?"
"Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her.
There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied,
"I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition
because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS.'"

An older gentleman was on the operating table
awaiting surgery and he insisted that his son,
a renowned surgeon, perform the operation.
As he was about to get the anesthesia
he asked to speak to his son.
"Yes, Dad, what is it?"
"Don't be nervous, son;
do your best and just remember, if it doesn't go well,
if something happens to me, your mother is going to come
and live with you and your wife...."

Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you
stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

The older we get, the fewer things seem
worth waiting in line for.

Some people try to turn back their odometers.
Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.
I've traveled a long way and some of the
roads weren't paved.

When you are dissatisfied and would

You know you are getting old when everything
either dries up or leaks.

I don't know how I got over the hill
without getting to the top.

One of the many things no one tells you about aging
is that it is such a nice change from being young.
----------------------------------------------
Ah, being young is beautiful,
but being old is comfortable.

Two old guys are pushing their carts around Wal-Mart when they collide.
The first old guy says to the
second guy, "Sorry about that. I'm looking for my
wife, and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I
was going."
The second old guy says, "That's OK, It's a
coincidence. I'm looking for my wife, too. I can't
find her and I'm getting a little desperate."
The first old guy says, "Well, maybe I can help you
find her. What does she look like?"
The second old guy says: "Well, she is 27 yrs old! ,
tall, with red hair, blue eyes, long legs, and is wearing short shorts.
What does you wife look like?"
To which the first old guy says, "Doesn't matter,
--- let's look for yours."

l am going to put my 2 cents in here,as a guess Paul and company are a bunch of rebels that really did not understand the U.S. tax system and had only one bank account, which was swallowed up by either the tax board for back taxes or maybe a insurance lawsuit. Take it from me these things happen to good folks also. Think about it folks who would be dumb enough to issue hundreds os checks without money in the bank. Looks like lousy timing to me.For what its worth l put in a stink bid for 400k last night at 0045 and got it now l am looking at sells for .0040, life just sucks some days.
Virg
OT OT OT
Superbee neat ride, but l am confused, any ride that looks that good is a Calif. trailer queen and you are showing a lndians cat, whats up with that? Another dumb personal question, have you ever been to the spring Mopar fling in Van Nuys? l am looking forward to the 08 Challenger.
Now to PBLS stuff, the Pro Gas plant was still under repair parts of last year as a lot of their supplyers were under water or still waiting for repair crews, also we had one of the warmest winters on record, l can see their profit being only 50% of before the storms Most likley that is why we ended up with the business,all they do is turn a few valves and redirect gas flows, l cannot see a lot of bottom line there.
Virg
Hey SUE, That was the most inteligent post that l have read here in a while.For what it is worth, that is why l have been adding as this slug has been going down also. l have been burnt before, but with all the assets they are holding it seems like we should come out on top.
For what its worth l called the P.R. guy last week and he told me the oil division has been very active and a P.R. would be forthcoming, of course you only have my word on this.
Has anyone ever tryed calling the builders that we are supposed to own? Most of the time it seems the old management should be in place and most builders started out as craftmen and are not afraid to answer tough questions, such as have you been paid in paper, options,or promises.
Virg
I only read this board on occasion, and wonder what ever happened to the discussion about the company PBLS. From what l gather you folks want to play blame games and act childish.Before someone deletes this ,how about a vote on a maxium number of posts per day, like 3 or so. Thay way some of you could get a life.
Virg
Just wish we could buy some P.R. with those funds, maybe the flood of new paper is about over and we will start to get some value.
Virg
My adding machine don't go that high, but it looks like we only have 116,000,000 more shares to sell before we are either broke or stop buying the world!
Virg
Idiot #3 l wish l bought more today
Virg
Sorry about the OT thing, having problems posting today. Do any of you know if Raginbull is down today or is it my computer?Looking at some of the names here it almost looks like RB without the idiot squad.

What makes you so sure we will be sub .01 and for how long?
Good evening boys and girls, just fell off the turnip cart at.0175 today, looks like l will have to hope for a good earnings report/or maybe this will become a investment, who knows.Sold a scam by the name of CYOS to finance this venture, at least this is a real company.
