This is a stock, not a horse race.
If you would rather invest in something with immediate results, try gambling. They have a long way to go for the factories to be up and running and revenue to be pouring in. If that's what you are waiting for, you are in the wrong place my friend.
It feels like we're waiting for hell to freeze over.
personally i am waiting for Q1-2012 to end.

i will email or call him after Monday, April 2, 2012.

i last emailed him in late December, and he responded promptly as usual.

Has anyone emailed Mr. Threshie recently?

where is the level two ? i cannot see it either.

-
well, the rule is, or should be, "buy low, sell high", right ?
-
and since the MMs are not stupid, that's their motto
-
so you can infer, if it's being knocked down by the MMs, then they want to buy, or even accumulate. or at least buy or accumulate to benefit "the 1%" . their most favored clients .
-
and you can also infer, if it's being pumped up by the MMs, then they want to sell, or even liquidate. or at least sell or liquidate to benefit "the 1%" . still their most favored clients .

years ago, too many to count, i watched Moore, a paper company ( now gone ) get knocked down from $12. to $2.50 at the lowest. ( i had bought 1000 shares at $12, originally ) i was a bit inexperienced, but i managed to buy some at $8, and $4 as it was going down. a friend called me one day, and he really said this, "if you liked MOORE at $12., you'll love it at $2.50 !! " and then he laughed. i managed to buy just another 100 shares at $2.50, a rather significant mistake.
-
i sold well over 1,200 shares at $19.00 some months after. THE MISTAKE WAS NOT BUYING MORE MOORE AT $2.50. a true story.
-
BE WARNED, this MOORE story played out over 2 - 3 years, at least. the ride is never easy. and usually not short either !
-
i learned that those who want to buy or accumulate a stock, have the absolute power to knock it way way down before letting it rise. this is a central and eternal truth of this game
-
read the life story of Jesse Livermore, " Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" . he got the game, and he was a natural at it .

Someone brought the bid down to .0038 with a whopping buy of 100 shares (38 cents worth of stock). Yes. I agree. MM's are manipulating the share price.
none - - my machine keeps getting stuck, leading to resk of posting the same message multiple times. drat !
the way the bid/ask is jumping around defies common sense, intuition and rationality
-
opens at 41/48 , which is a bit wide . . . .
-
bid/ask moves around a bit, at one point is 46/48
-
next thing you know, on slim volume, NOW, the bid is 38/41
-
such numbers are not really likely or possible, IMO. the MM is up to something . . .
-
((( of course, when i get the cash to subscribe to level2, i'll see a lot more, and things may make some sense. till then . . . )))

I almost dread it when Tirex posts news because it's a long, excruciating wait for the anticipated next news. It'll be 2 months soon and it feels like years.
Price seems to be drifting up on low volume. Everyone is holding their shares, just waiting for the next piece(s) of news. Hope it comes sooner than later! GLTA
When I bought into Tirex I considered it my "Hail Mary" play. I liked the process and picked up some shares just in case. It looks like the ball is reaching the end of it's flight and is just inches from the outstretched hands of the receiver. Now all we need is for the ball to be caught.
The recent events and the board chatter have given me hope. Thanks snowiegeorge and you others who provide such good analysis and info.
This play just might make up for past blunders on my part!
Regards all!
NO ACTION MONDAY

i hate holidays, they drag by so slowly . . .

not that it matters, but last Tuesday/Wednesday, the 14 1/2th of February, was just about the midpoint of Q1-2012 --- for those of us thinkin', "there's just gotta be an announcement in Q1-2012." we're halfway there , if you count 01.01.2012 as the baseline.
-
yep, for sure, we're halfway there .

Hang On TIREX is a winner choice SOON SOON !!!
I am now with 400,000 shares after my additional purchase today. So we will see what happens after news comes out.
I think you made a good buy at .0040 - .0041!
I do not see a return to the dreaded triple 0's. It seems like .004 is the new base and there will only be growth from here.
Multiple deals, multiple press releases will see this stock rise. How far depends on the detail provided in those press releases and the excitement they generate. The 1 or 2 cent range isn't a question of if but rather a question of when.
Contract negotiations take time especially when they are joint ventures. I predict most of the deals in the near future to be joint ventures with a variety of players. It just makes sense for Tirex. And let's not forget, the joint venture Tirex has already entered into will see them earning 25% of the revenue generated from scrap tire collection and revenue is 7 figures annually. This is a fact that seems to be overlooked and one that speaks directly to their ability to secure financing.
You are right about that Howie. Only John has left the tcs birthplace.
Altgen a tirex partner is putting solar farms and etc.
See the video that might interest you.

TIREX started in Montreal, and besides John the original team is still in Montreal.
I agree with your 1st 2,seen it happen one too many times with this and others..when this is ready,they will drop it down,then hopefully news hits,when that happens who knows..we are in JT's world ..JMHO
WHY WOULD IT GO BACK TO $0.0015 ( again ) ?
-
well, first of all, because it has done so, several times, in the last decade
-
and secondly, because in these penny, and ( previously ) sub-penny stocks, volatility is the norm.
-
personally, i don't think this stock will kiss 15 again. but it could. i think we are in the groove to a nirvana future.
-
but even if it "corrects" in the near to mid term, it is going to a cent soon, and then to two cents ( soon enough ), and then who knows where in the longer term.
-
again, personally ( don't tell anyone i said this ) it will break out by the time Q1-2012 ( or reporting on Q1 ) is final .
-
IMO, all of this, for sure

I bought 250,000 today (249,000) and (1,000) lol. At 0.0041. I believe that it's going to rocket as soon as the funding for the plant comes into play.
I mean it's got so much potential, why would you think it would go back down to 0.0015?
thats what im thinking
Nooooo efingggg way!!!!
Guaranteed !!!! This is the bottom.
Did u mean 0.015 or do u think it's gonna go back to that level?
sure would be nice to fill this gap in the bid/ask!
Same here..glta
I did too but i don't think we'll see .0015 again it's stabilizing quite nice here in the 4's but you never know in pinky land. I still have a boat load and their all free shares so i can't lose.
I did..pulled some out.. gonna reload around 0015 again..learned from the past
The difference now is nobody is selling. Nice base forming here @.004
We've been hearing that for 15 years..nothing new!!..
you are teasing me !
-
when Tirex builds a plant in Malaysia, then i'll believe you !

In a near future TIREX will be WELCOME in every country in the world!! The tire problem is international !
inquiring minds would like to know...O Canada
?? - Welcome to Canada?
Has there been a new agreement or JV forged with a Canadian company that I have not read about, or are you referring to the JECC component, i.e. equipment manufacturing / installation?
WELCOME TO CANADA ?
-
has JT ( John Threshie, president of Tirex ) begun negotiations with our good neighbor in the north ? or are you just being hopeful ?

Welcome in Canada TIREX ! All Canadian need the TIREX solution !!!
Still quite a spread though. Would like to see bid rise to meet the Ask, with some volume. I guess you can't have everything, eh?
Good to see small increase in the bid and ask on low volume. People must be anticipating some GOOD news!!! Let's hope they are right. GLTA
Agreed...excellent few days of trading on no news...modest volume trending upward. News is coming. End of first quarter is still my bet.
Lucky man to find shares purchased at .0004.
agreed. slow steady hits on the ask yesterday and today are looking good.
and congrats on your serendipitous e-trade find!
holding in the 4's, not bad for no news.
what a great surprise, I forgot I had purchased a bunch of shares last year at 0.0004 in an old etrade account. Imagine my surprise when I got my year-end statement.
the silence is deafening! looking for the love on VD
Pretty quite around here lately! Let's hope we get some good news soon!!
I agree with you 1Crowly news will be coming,only a matter of time and hope the news will bring even more business deals for Tirex which Ithink it will.
i am with that statement 1000%

300million scrap tire = 6Billion Gallons of OIL link
Video Add below:
22 Gallon of oil to make one tire
• Burning is wasteful of resources. It requires approximately 22 gallons of oil to make one tire (http://www.govlink.org/nwpsc/tires.htm). If we scrap 300 million tires per year in North America, this means 6,600,000,000 gallons of oil. This is about 150 million barrels of crude which at, say US$20 per barrel translates to US$3 billion per year (old figure $20/barrel we are going to $100/barrel).
http://www.tirex-tcs.com/enviro.htm
(Here is where gets interesting, the shredded tire has to have high quality to meet the standard to be used as fuel and here is where TXMC comes into play their technology has been designed for this separating the metal and creating the quality needed.)

Microwave turns Tires into Oil Video
After the metal has been separated the product can be turned into oil/gas by a microwave system that can be added to the TCS system by Tirex (which uses cold air "FREE", doesn't use liquid nitrogen which is what is being used now and it is very expensive) .

Click Here for Press Release Tirex has developed and owns the technology that is a U.S. and Canadian patented, semi-cryogenic tire recycling process, known as the TCS System. It is environmentally friendly, economically viable (even without tipping fees), and reduces scrap tires into -5 to -30 mesh (or finer) clean crumb rubber with a uniquely smooth morphology and saleable, intact steel wire and fiber. Tirex's proprietary process, that doesn't use liquid nitrogen, freezes the rubber and then passes it through it's patented "fracturing mill" which "breaks" the rubber apart, instead of cutting it, exposing the whole strands of steel and fiber, and leaving a value added crumb rubber, we call RutexTM, that is best suited for extrusion molding recycled rubber products and higher end performance surfaces. Tirex's full scale TCS prototype was accredited in 2001 by Recycle Quebec. In 2002 Tirex awarded Simpro S.p.A., an internationally certified high tech manufacturer and supplier, with a license agreement to exclusively manufacture the TCS technology and nonexclusive marketing rights. Tirex and Simpro welcome all governments, companies and investors interested in our business of bringing to market what we believe is the most economically viable and environmentally friendly tire recycling process in the industry. http://www.simpro.it/home.php?argid=49&pagid=18?=en Article on Tirex by The Connecticut Post Safe Harbor Statement: Certain statements made in this release may contain language describing the plans, goals, strategies, intentions, forecasts and expectations of The Tirex Corporation that may be referred to as "forward-looking statements."

Company Overview:
The Tirex Corporation (TXMC) is engaged in the business of developing for sale, license or lease an environmentally safe patented "turn key" cryogenic tire recycling system, known as the "TCS System" The TCS System was designed and developed by us and separates tires into clean and saleable rubber crumb, steel wire, and fiber. The Company was incorporated in Delaware on August 19, 1987 under the name "Concord Enterprises, Inc." The Company's name was changed to "Stopwatch Inc." on June 20, 1989 and to "Tirex America Inc." on March 10, 1993. On July 11, 1997, the Company's name was changed to "The Tirex Corporation". Since 1993, our core business has been to develop and to initiate marketing efforts by sale or license of an environmentally friendly cryogenic tire recycling system, which we intend to sell to recycling companies and governmental agencies to enable them to recycle tires. We have devoted much of our earlier efforts to completing the design and development of our first production model and raising the financing required to do so, but for the last four years, our efforts have turned to marketing. The Company has generated only very limited revenues from operations and is still in the development stage.
The TCS-System (as copied from Simpro S.p.A.'s web site)
Simpro also means ecology. An example is the industrialization of this plant, capable of recycling rubber from used tires, by separating the former from both steel and fiber of the structure.
Doing this, the steel can be reused in foundries, the fiber returns to the textile industry, whereas the high-purity rubber is shredded into multi-sized rubber, according to the intended use: the preparation of bitumen for asphalting streets (so as to reduce the noise level), as well as the rubber industry (as processable raw material), are the major applications. The technique is based on the very-low-temperature cooling (through refrigerated air and without using nitrogen) of tire parts previously shredded, which, once they have become crystalline due to the cold, are fractured by a special-purpose mill. After this, a system of vibrating sieves, together with electromagnets, separates rubber, steel and fiber. At the end of the line, one or more mills, depending on the plant capability, pulverize the rubber into the wanted size.
There are different versions of this plant, according to the number of tires to be treated. The systems, in any case, are custom-made according to the customer's requirements.
The plant is turnkey supplied and complies with the law in force within the Country in which it is installed. Simpro offers, also for this kind of plants, a complete after-sales service, including the training of the involved personnel, the periodical maintenance, if required by the customer, as well as an emergency service in case of failure or breakdown.

TCS System vs competing technologies
- Ambient technologies tend to produce coarser crumb rubber, lower rubber yields as well as higher rubber contamination levels. This translates into lower revenues generated per tire processed. - Ambient technologies require extensive equipment to shred, cut and granulate tires which involves very significant maintenance costs and down time (frequent knife and blade sharpening and replacement, for instance). - Ambient systems generate high energy costs
- Tirex cryogenic competitors need to freeze tires with very expensive liquid nitrogen. - Tirex has proven that to produce crumb rubber cryogenically, all that is needed is to freeze rubber below its "glass point", i.e. the temperature under which rubber can be shattered like glass. Any additional cooling translates into costly wasted cooling energy. - The most important difference between Tirex cold air based system and liquid nitrogen is the very cost of liquid nitrogen, which is 2 to 3 times more expensive than cold air. In addition, liquid nitrogen is not readily available everywhere in the world (contrary to air !)

POLITECNICO DI TORINO DIPARTIMENTO DI GEORISORSE E TERRITORIO To kind attn.: Mr. Mauro Gallo Rosso Simpro S.p.A. Via Torino 446/A 10032 Brandizzo (TO) Turin, 31st October 2003 Re.: "Theoretical certification of the Cryogenic Tire Disintegration Process US Patent No. 5,735,471" In comparison with other disintegration processes, the innovations of the Cryogenic Tire Disintegration Process, US Patent No. 5,735,471, are: · Conventional cryogenic systems make use of chemicals for freezing the tires, firstly shredded by means of blades and then subject to a further disintegration phase within a hammer mill. Through this operation, rubber, but also steel, are pulverized, fibers are chopped up to such a size that the sieves get clogged and the rubber is trapped. Maintenance costs and energy consumption of the hammer mill are high because the system, besides the rubber, also disintegrates the steel which, being in such conditions, does not have any economic value. The fluff separation requires an air suction system able to remove also 15% of the crumb rubber. Liquid nitrogen or other chemicals are very expensive and dangerous when stored and used. · Room-temperature shredding systems require cutting and grinding systems. In such conditions the energy consumption is very high, as well as the investment costs needed for the machinery. Through this solution, rubber, but also steel, are pulverized, fibers are chopped up to such a size that the sieves get clogged and the rubber is trapped. Maintenance costs and energy consumption of the hammer mill are high because the system, besides the rubber, also disintegrates the steel which, being in such conditions, does not have any economic value. The fluff separation requires an air suction system able to remove also 15% of the crumb rubber. The crumb rubber being obtained is generally a very bad quality product. · The cryogenic tire disintegration process, US Patent No. 5,735,471, consists of 2 parallel lines (one for the tire sides, one for the treads) equipped with a cryogenic chamber, cooled at -90°F through cold air at -170°F, in which is a fracturing mill (subject matter of the patent) made up of two contra-rotating cylinders supplied with projections which enable a selective rubber fracturing by leaving the steel and fiber sizes basically unchanged. Therefore this solution generates a remarkable energy saving, a high-quality and high-output crumb rubber and makes the steel saleable, as it is not disintegrated during the shredding operation. The Geo-Resources and Territory Department of the Polytechnic of Turin intends to perform some tests on a pilot system which is going to be manufactured at Simpro S.p.A. in order to assess the quality of the products being obtained and to assign a corresponding market value. In consideration of the installed technology, in any case, the separation of the three different phases - rubber, steel and fiber - is certainly optimized, thus obtaining products with a better quality in comparison with the ones existing on the market. Such theoretical analysis is furtherly confirmed by some documents (LBHA Inc. and Xerus Inc., see enclosure), certifying the quality of the rubber produced through the cryogenic tire disintegration process, US Patent No. 5,735,471, by a pilot system of Tirex Corporation located in Quebec, Canada. On behalf of the Polytechnic of Turin, Geo-Resources and Territory Department Prof. Mariachiara Zanetti Prof. Giuseppe Genon |
Importance of the Patent. Breakthrough patents, which explore whole new areas of technology, or are the first to find answers to long-standing problems, are the most valuable. Examples of such patents are Edison's light bulb, Benz's automobile engine, Cohen's polymerase chain reaction (PCR) patent, the first photocopier, or possibly an invention yet to come, such as a definitive cure for AIDS. In these cases, the patents would be so innovative that they give the owner a complete monopoly over an entire industry and are extremely valuable, often worth billions of dollars. Although most patents never reach these heady heights they are nevertheless valuable in that they can force a competitor to start innovating to keep pace with new and improved technologies and products in the market, or conversely to a license from a patent owner who has will to do so. Incremental patents, which make only small advances over existing products, are usually the least valuable though this may not be always so. A question that is often asked in relation to an incremental or breakthrough patent when endeavoring to put a price on it is 'How much would my competitors pay to use my protected product or process?'
20-year potential monopoly. Patents that are just beginning their life and which have longer to run on the their potential monopoly position understandably will have more value. It is rare that a patent nearing the end of its term will cause a great threat to its competitors. It is almost certain that they will have devised technologies or products of their own by then that will not interfere with the patent owners monopoly position. In addition, one has to take into consideration the potential business life of a patent, i.e., the duration which a patent is likely to be economically useful, if other subsequent patents are providing better alternatives to it.
Patent Significance. Every patent has its own significance in a particular area and will usually form part of an overall IP strategy either to maximize its earning potential or to allow other patents to maximize theirs. Examples of such patents are those that are used to block other key players from gaining a foothold in a market. Yet other examples are those patents that are additional to an original patent and rely on the protected matter in the original patent to successfully operate. It not uncommon for drug companies or telecom companies to take out further patents protecting a strong first generation of patents, thus securing a big chunk of a market and the ability to negotiate licenses and royalties from the protected, but much desired technology.

The Road to Sustainability Rubberized asphalt is a high-performance alternative to traditional paving material. As a mix of asphalt and recycled rubber derived from scrap tires, rubberized asphalt is longer lasting, safer, less costly, and friendlier to the environment.
Resists cracking and rutting.
Cracks in asphalt are caused by vertical or horizontal movements beneath the overlay as a result of traffic loads, temperature fluctuations, and shifting earth. Rubberized asphalt reduces the occurrence of cracking with superior elasticity. Rubberized asphalt is also stiffer than conventional paving, which resists rutting and increases pavement life.
Improves skid resistance. Decreases splash and spray.
The safety of rubberized asphalt is greatly improved as a result of several unique attributes. Pavements made from rubberized asphalt exhibit greater skid resistance, and decreased splash and spray in wet conditions.
Decreases maintenance costs. Requires no additional capital investment.
In use for more than 40 years, rubberized asphalt is laid using the same equipment as traditional asphalt in most cases and the longer lasting properties reduce long-term maintenance costs. Plus, utilizing recycled rubber derived from scrap tires provides a reliable and consistent supply of material.
Rides quieter. Reduces stockpiles of scrap tires.
Noise pollution on highways and interstates continues to increase as traffic levels increase. However, rubberized asphalt is proven to reduce noise levels by upwards of 5 decibels. And rubberized asphalt provides an outlet for between 500 and 2,000 scrap tires per lane mile of pavement. So, for a 1-mile section of a four-lane highway, between 2,000 and 8,000 tires are creating a longer-lasting, safer, and more cost-effective roadway.
