Not sure, I got in at .0019.
If the paper mills are closing, wouldn't that decrease the demand for biomass?
In all fairness, I did listen to a radio program discussing the shortage of sawdust (used to make wood pellets) linked to the slowdown in construction. However, it was mainly in the states where such large-scale construction did occur, which produced lots and lots of sawdust, thus keeping the prices low.
Isn't that the renewable part in the whole renewable resource idea?
Oh, and lastly, go nuclear! :)
it's a pity we've pretty much abandoned nuclear research during that <person> Carter's administration. If nothing else, if we ever get serious about space exploration, we aren't likely to find as efficient a source of a lot of energy real space exploration would require. Using solar panels there, while useful, is only enough to have a 1.5 min energy budget for a toilet.
As for tourism, well, check on what happened to the City of Santa Monica, CA. It replaced highly paid IT and high-tech jobs with low-paid service/tourism jobs. As a result, it's strapped for money now, not even mentioning that most of the people who work in it can't live in it.
What they should probably be looking at is building datacenters. If they had lots of relatively cheap and stable power and cheap real estate (and not too bad weather, as in no hurricanes every month), that's what companies building datacenters look for. You'll find at least one datacenter close to many power plants in the back of beyond, and that's where excess power often goes. Datacenters are power hogs. Oh, and they provide higher paid jobs which are hard to outsource.
Nope, it hasn't been given up on. It just takes time.
No, not really. Factual information is needed :)
Can you post the rest of the article?
How much would that add to EPS?
More like, they're attracted to crowds.
The usuals, whatever I post is my opinion, yaddayaddayadda. I'm still learning this, so if you listen to me, well, good luck to you :)
The "knowledge economy" part is ridiculous indeed. That'd be either a university town, or a tech hub (usually in close proximity to enough universities to supply them with employees). SOmehow I doubt that Berlin, NH is going to become the next Cambridge, Huntsville, or Silicon Valley anytime soon.
As for tourism, that's quite possible; it probably exists as it is, given Berlin's surroundings. However, it's one of many such places around there, and, correct me if I'm wrong, people don't come there to see the City of Berlin. They probably come there to enjoy Berlin's surroundings.
All that being said, the main driver for the real estate values (especially for residential real estate, as opposed to hotels, for example) is the income of the people in the area. As the example of the City of Santa Monica, CA has shown, tourism doesn't generate high salaries. The City of Santa Monica initially created good conditions (lower taxes, etc.) for hightech and IT businesses. This brought in a lot of educated people with high incomes. However, after changing its mayor, the City of Santa MOnica decided that it's been friendly to such businesses for long enough, and raised taxes on them, etc. Hightech and IT businesses, being what they are, easily moved elsewhere (mostly Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, where conditions are friendlier), and the City of Santa MOnica was stuck with, well, tourism. Which replaced high IT and Tech incomes with just above minimal wage tourism industry incomes. Well, it was still a nice place to live in, so people were still moving in. However, most of the people who live in Santa Monica don't work there, and most of the people who work there can't afford to live in it. The City of Santa MOnica got so strapped for money that all the free public services they provided during the "high-tech and IT" time became paid (even though they were paid for with taxpayer money). I guess, tourism doesn't seem to generate as much revenue as the, umm, businesses that produce something and not just charge you for the privilege of looking at something nature or someone else produced. Oh, and by the way, where the people who work in tourism industry in Santa MOnica live... the real estate prices are still low.
The difference is that manufacturing or power generation cannot move as easily as hightech and IT businesses can.
I'm sure you see the pattern :)

Has anyone heard of any resolution from the Henniker Zoning Board meeting yesterday? I can't find any info on it. They did meet yesterday, right?
I can't speak for everybody, of course, but I don't think that if we've signed up, that bothers us. Well, it doesn't bother me, that's for sure. Instead, I greatly appreciate it.
Well, that's up to you then. Of course, if pressed with a lawsuit, I'll have to present the facts. However, I doubt the lawsuit would be forthcoming, for the reason that the facts might just check out. Then again, it never stopped anyone from filing a lawsuit :)
That being said, I will, in fact, stop posting any information on this board and just proceed on my own (and, hopefully, with the help of those who expressed interest in doing this).
Personally, I think that you and others would do better verifying or disproving the info I posted (and would've posted in the future) rather than jumping on my case, but then, you're your own masters.
The usuals, whatever I post is my opinion, yaddayaddayadda. I'm still learning this, so if you listen to me, well, good luck to you :)
Indeed, I think I was doing just that. My bad :)
Good to know, thanks. I haven't verified the building part yet.
Well, that is, of course, your right to believe so. Needless to say, I won't be jumping through the hoops to prove something not worth proving. I provided as much information as seemed prudent, and what you'll do with it is up to you.
Personally, I doubt anyone would actually bother to verify it, as people seem to prefer to wait for someone else to do so, and then just take that person's word for it.
Based on what I have reasons to believe were fraudulent PRs.
You didn't think I was just ranting, like most people do on these boards, now did you? :)
Yes, I am the one filing the lawsuit. As for this information, I've recently received it, and didn't have the time to verify it yet. However, since I think this information, whether proven correct or incorrect, is quite interesting, and there were no strings attached to it, so I posted it.
Now, what exactly do you find interesting about me posting it?
Like I said, this is unverified information that I got outside of this board. I haven't verified it yet, and posted it so that other people could either verify it, or disprove it, as well. Aside from everything else, if I don't get through to the mayor, someone else might, for example.
A few contacts you might want to check out.
Apparently, a few local vendors haven't been paid by Peter/RVGD, as well as some Australians (which would explain why there're Australians posting here). The mayor of Decatur is supposed to be aware of the issue, if you can get through, the contact info is on the City's site:
http://www.decaturin.org/contact_us.htm
Now, I have the, so far unverified, information that one of the reasons Peter hasn't done much to expand the building is because he doesn't own it. Steven J. Kreigh with Ideal Realtors was the broker who owned the listing, I believe. You might want to contact him, as well:
http://www.remax-ideal.com/Realty/Agents.aspx
As for the Aussie bit, they seem to have this great site over there, run by Insolvency and Trustee Service:
http://www.itsa.gov.au/dir228/itsaweb.nsf/docindex/Creditors-%3ENPII-%3ENPII?OpenDocument
Problem is, in addition to name, you need Peter's prior address and date of birth to search.
Checking these out to be true or false might put quite a few of the questions we have to rest, I think.
Well, either Peter found a way to only pick up friendly calls, or someone here has, umm, vivid imagination :)
Could be a happenstance, of course. BTW, did I mention that beachfront property in Arizona that I got? You can have it quite cheap.
The usuals, whatever I post is my opinion, yaddayaddayadda. I'm still learning this, so if you listen to me, well, good luck to you :)
Wingtips. Modifying the wings has major engineering involved. On the second thought, custom paint is more like it.
The usuals, whatever I post is my opinion, yaddayaddayadda. I'm still learning this, so if you listen to me, well, good luck to you :)
Doesn't look like it yet, yes. Given Peter's previous history though, I'd expect it to. Of course, it's just speculation on my part, same as reading charts (trying to predict the future moves by looking at the past ones) :)
Of course, no one did, because it's more than slightly ridiculous. First of all, Factory Five is an established company with some reputation to uphold, not to mention revenues, etc. Second, even provided the extra billion of RVGD shares can be added to OS without the price going down to .0001, in the best and unrealistic case scenario it's worth $3-4M. I'd imagine, Factory Five is worth somewhat more.
WHile we're at it, isn't RVGD going to acquire Subaru or Nissan? They seem to be proper targets for a takeover.
The sad part is that, say, RVGD announced tomorrow that it's in talks to merge with or acquire Factory Five (or Nissan, or Subaru), not too many people would believe it. Well, some on this board would, of course.
Good, I'm ready for the second ride (sold at .060 the first time around).
Do you base it on anything specific, or just a hunch? :)
I just love this kind of statements.
Nothing happened to it, it's still the rule to follow.
For myself, I didn't invest much in it, and the reasoning behind my actions has more to do with being tired of observing fraud (yes, and I have quite a few reasons to believe that's what has occurred and is occurring here) than anything else.
While losses are an expeted part of investing/trading, it doesn't justify fraud.
As far as hurting the business, well, first of all, there has to be a business to be hurt, and second, well, that's precisely the kind of fool's hope that lets fraud run rampant in pinkieland.
" Instead of persuing a lawsuit, why don't you hold onto your shares and hope things turn around?"
Because it's not a smart or moral way to go, in my opinion :)
Anyway, I've explained my reasoning for quite a few times. If anyone has any further questions, feel free to browse my recent posts, there aren't that many. I see no further reason to respond to the questions that have been answered already, or to suggestions that have already been considered.
And you think so based on what exactly? :)
Well, absurd or not, you can find my reasoning and motivation in my previous posts.
I don't expect to recover much, if anything.

YUp, I like your signature. Is it copyrighted? :)
There's more to it than a civil lawsuit, but I can't talk about that part yet.
As for the potential, I have a few reasons to think that it won't go anywhere, given the information I've uncovered. Can't talk about that, either, so take it for what it's worth - something vague some unknown person posts on iHub :)
The distration is provides to the company, the disruption of its operations, etc. - to me that'd be a valid concern, if I thought that there's intention/potential to follow through with all that. I do not think that's the case. I might be wrong, but I did spend quite some time digging in the past few days (which I should've done before, but that's another story), and the picture didn't look good. Didn't look like an honest startup having issues, either.

We often forget just how lucky we are to be Americans (or Canadians, or British, or even the French... nah, not the French), and act like people who love honey but forget about the bees. Situations like that ought to give you a new perspective on it.
Mind you, some of us didn't forget who and what we are :)
Good article, thank you.

Because I don't have very high hopes of recovering my losses. I am, however, tired of watching pink CEOs escaping responsibility for their actions. So if I don't recover any money, but see someone like Peter in jail, that'll be fine with me. If at least some money is recovered, it'll probably be more than one'd get by just holding the shares, especially given the recent news.
While your reasoning makes perfect sense, it's the reasoning that lets people like Peter run their scams, provided they hide the money received from the scams well enough.
So, if some attorney gets a payday, and even if I and the others don't get much in return, but Peter ends up in jail, and with a record, and without a dime, that's good enough for me.

ANyway, I'm off to a BBQ. Those willing to be the lead plaintiffs in a class action suit against RVGD I'm trying to put together (we'll see how that goes) can PM or email me. My email is rscomps at yahoo dot com.
The count is now up to 16 people, with 3 unconfirmed. I'm looking for 20 before I start contacting law firms.

The issue is, of course, whether he's "correct and truthful". Much as I'd like to hope for that, to me it just doesn't sound realistic.
It depends on the website, how good they are at capturing the user, etc. I'd imagine, it'd be at least 2 hits per user session (one to get to the site and one to click the 'Submit' button :)) Alright, jokes aside, given that their site doesn't offer much content, but on the other hand people might be trying to find more info on the contest they came to check out (why else would they come to that site), I'd imagine about 7-10 clicks per user session. And I base it on next to nothing :)
The interesting part would be what the conversion rate is. Normally it's within 1% of the visitors. On a single-purpose site like that one, it could be higher, although I doubt it. The company I work for has about 4% conversion rate, mostly because its product is quite appreciated by its customers and it's very good at giving them what they want. I haven't heard of much higher conversion rates.

Who said I just sit around and bitch (although that's not a bad occupation, either, if I say so myself :)). I'm exploring the option of a class action securities fraud lawsuit. Got 13 people onboard so far, plus 5 unconfirmed. Once I get 20 (I set the number at 20, for out of the people who are initially willing to be lead plaintiffs, a few might still do it when the time comes. So with 20 people willing to join at this point, I'd hope for 5-6 when/if the whole thing starts), I'd start contacting law firms dealing with securities fraud.
