EXPH is now identified as Advantage Tech.

Thanks for the update, Chevy.... waiting patiently, as always.

Watercolor Holdings now coming back to life. Since this was expected to happen only after MTRE matters were concluded, I am wondering whether we may be getting close to good news here now.
JMHO.

NL

I will be waiting and watching with anticipation.

For myself, today's news is only partly about WCHG and the homeland security opportunity. It is much more about the fact the Marty has not just let this die but is coming through again... like he has consistently done in the past. When I say consistently, that includes, IMO, the following:
- when Marty sets out to do something, he is as tenacious as they come and he doesn't quit until he succeeds.
- when Marty starts on a project, he will always be delayed in the execution and his fellow travelers will wonder if he knows what he is doing.
- when the results do finally come through, they will likely exceed original expectations.

This has been my observation and why I am remaining strongly invested in all of Marty's plays (MTRE, LFHE, and WCHG).

JMHO.

Thank you, Chevy!!

Patience is again rewarded.

Floyd,

Asks and bids are not always displayed in this realm. The order size is also not really known, even though it shows 5000 or 10,000 - that is not necessarily the size of the order. At best, it gives an approximate picture of how things might be, IMO.

If you have an order in to sell at .11 and nothing is happening, no one is stepping up to buy at that price. If you lower your price, you might find a taker. At this point, until news comes, you might have difficulty finding a buyer. The wait has been long and people may be viewing this as only a place to park dead money. There is nothing concrete to prove that opinion wrong. I tend to think that it is wrong, but that is just my opinion - I can't prove it. If you can't get enough for your shares to sell them at this point, you might be just as well off to wait until there is news and hope to sell them at higher prices then. JMHO.

I see volume of 30,000 sold today on another website:

Floyd... I disagree that nothing has happened. Unfortunately, nothing has come to a full conclusion as yet, so we do not really know what has been going on. I think we have had snippets of info from various places now and then, one of the more recent from prices when he last spoke with Marty. I am of the impression that things are being worked on and I still expect that there will be a successful conclusion. Like I posted on another board: One thing about Marty -- although he has been habitually late (and recently very, very late!), he has managed to come through on what he has said he would do again and again. Marty has a tremendous amount of tenacity! That gives me encouragement with respect to the investments I have made in the companies he works with, and especially MTRE and LFHE.

I wish you well with all your investments, Floyd, and especially wish that for you with this one. That is why I am sad to hear you say that you are planning to leave, since I am still optimistic. Nevertheless, we must all make our decisions based on our own perspectives. Wishing you the best.

It has been almost 3 years now since the SEC revoked the registration of WCHG (September 2007). It wouldn't take too much to bring this back to life. My understanding was that it was in view to be done once MTRE was on track. MTRE is still a work in progress, so I am not surprised that nothing has happened with WCHG. Prices, you have talked with Marty from time to time, and I think you have had the sense that MTRE is getting close to being ready. If so, once that comes about, I would not be surprised to see something come about with WCHG. One thing about Marty -- although he has been habitually late (and recently very, very late!), he has managed to come through on what he has said he would do again and again. Marty has a tremendous amount of tenacity! That gives me encouragement with respect to the investments I have made in the companies he works with: MTRE, LFHE, and even WCHG.

I know there are some who will laugh and mock at me for thinking anything will yet happen... I have have read the "quack, quacks" many times. That's okay... the story is not over, IMHO. I think Marty, and the others he is associated with, have much too much invested to not bring something good out of the time and effort they have put in.

JMHO.

NL

I am continuing to wait patiently for this stock to come back into play. There is not a whole lot to say about it in the meantime, but I will "stay with the ship". In due time... we shall see.
JMHO.

10Q is out now.

10Q is out now.

Thanks for the positive words, Prices... holding and anticipating with you.

NL

I don't mind when they give me more cheap shares.

Thanks Berge

Level II anyone?

I sold 8713.

I bought this long ago while it was a dormant shell - Frezer Inc. I don't really know about other posters' holdings. I have put what I could figure out in the I-Box. Feel free to update/fix that as more information comes to light that would clarify things further.
I have been here for more than 2 years, having bought in Jan and Feb 2008. That's a long wait, but it is nice to see a positive outcome. Not to say that it won't keep going higher - it might, but I am gradually learning that a bird in the hand is better than 2 in the bush. So I will be satisfied with the double and better and call it a day.

NL

Ok..thanks, Northern... I have added you as an Assistant to start with and then resigned myself as main moderator. The changes may take a little while to be effective. Then you can apply for full mod status.

Best wishes to all here.

NL

I sold out today at 1.58 and 1.62. I made a nice gain - patience was rewarded.

I have been board moderator but will retire - anyone else interested in taking that role?

NorthLion

Congrats, Dancy.... good pick up! IMO

I am definitely in "category one" - not a large stake.

NL

I will hold for better levels... I have been pleasantly surprised by other China based companies in the past -- sort of pleasantly, because I was surprised by how the share price rose after I sold (and I missed the extra gains).

NL

Hey $oldier.... I took some of those yesterday, but not all.

NL

Thanks for the note, Basser.

Sorry to hear about Superbee's husband. (We miss you, Superbee!!)

Good to hear from you, Basser.

NL

Hey Floyd... doing well, thanks, and hope the same for you. We have been delayed, no doubt, and patience has been tested, no doubt, but many of us are still here and I do believe that we will reap good as a result. JMHO.

NL

If the news was not expected to be positive, prices wouldn't have been buying more yesterday after he talked to Marty. JMHO

Agreed, Shellking.... I cannot PM.

Looks like good things are coming through... something is driving the buying. Nice to see something turning out positively!

NL

After weeks of little activity and a steady .35 price, there was a sudden surge in trading and price this week:

....date..........high...low...close...volume

2010/03/16 .. 0.35.. 0.35.. 0.35.. -

Seems like someone may know something interesting and positive about this company - otherwise why the buying and price increase?

The float on BFTI is very small (estimated around 1.2 million). This week 76,600 shares traded - possibly about 6% of the float.

$oldier, when you earn a few extra bucks somewhere, you have some options as to what we do with the money. You can go out on the town and party, you can buy a nice newer car with it, or you can maybe take a nice overseas holiday somewhere.

Or you can just go on living like you usually did, and buy up some shares of a promising little company that no one has heard of. That is pretty much how I have approached things... and I have been adding a few here and a few there. No one would know from looking at me, and my bank account doesn't have much to show for it most days, because the value of the shares hasn't changed a whole lot. Meanwhile, I am not suffering for it - I just go on working and living like I did.

But, someday that could all change. Things could fall into place and there could be a very nice return on all the shares I have been accumulating bit by bit. Some folks have called me a squirrel (you might like that SuperSquirrel) - because I just keep stashing away the "acorns" like winter is coming.

Someday things could change... meanwhile, I just add a few more shares to the stash! Not much more to it than that!

NL

...he was indeed. :)

LFHE has really come to life (pardon the pun)!

I ended up buying more shares a week or so ago than I had bargained for - which necessitated the filing. Now I am feeling quite good about that foible! LOL.

Berge... where do you think the share price on AZTC is going to get to in the short term and the long-term?

Can you email me? lion@ldj.net

Thanks.

NL

I'm done scooping... your turn, SuperSquirrel!

It seems that my filing last week has spawned new interest in the company! That's not a bad thing, IMO.

One guy said to his buddy, "Someday my ship will come in". His buddy replies, "Ya, well with my luck, when it does, I'll be at the airport."

I have stuck it out at "the docks" along with a bunch of you and we are waiting for that ship to arrive. Seems like the time is getting a bit closer. Sorry for those who left for the airport.

I file as often as I need to. Now that I know what to do, it isn't a big deal anymore. I used to adjust my buying very carefully to avoid filing... not any more. If it's a good buy, I buy (provided I have the powder available at the time).

That sounds great, Chevy... makes me feel better about every share I have added along the way. Somedays I felt like the Maytag repairman - kind of lonely, when it seemed like I was the only one believing enough to keep buying.

I like it a lot when YOU are buying, Chevy!!

This is still one of the nicest boards around - a pleasure to visit (which I do everyday, even if I don't always post).
