USAA doesn't say if they are tradeable and I haven't called them yet.
It does not have a trading stock symbol attached (like CGFIA) but does show in description field as Colorado Gold fields. Only "47Y120"
And it shows no value.

B shares showed up in my USAA account a couple of weeks ago --- along with the $50 fee.

Well, you do have to admit it's a prettier copy than we usually see from these folks.
In English and you can actually read the words and numbers.
It's a nice change.
Now, if we could just believe the numbers and stuff ....

yep, you're correct.
was trying to do two things at once when I wrote the message.
Proves I shouldn't do that.

I use USAA brokerage.
I don't have very many shares so only got 4900 of the "B".
so it cost me about 10 cents each in fees.
Oh well, when CGFIA hits $100 a share, I won't mind ......

The class B's hit my account Friday.
Also triggered $50 in fees.
As I see it right now, CGFIA cost me $50 for nothing.
Or am I missing something?

I keep seeing this 5000kg figure mentioned as "gold".
But wasn't it "gold ore" which, if it is, means the actual gold content is about 99% or more less than "5000kg".

IF I'm reading this report correctly, Quest waste percentage, while looking high to us non-mining folks, is right in line with what is to be expected.

http://www.energy.ky.gov/NR/rdonlyres/3031BCB7-E149-46FE-8DC3-7F6E18575FB3/0/Honaker.pdf

"The average amount of rock in run-of-mine (what we non-miners are calling "raw" ) Eastern Kentucky coal ranges from 60% to 70%."

So while Eugene and company can be faulted for many, many things, it would seem that having too high of waste (ie: rocks) isn't one of them.

Have to agree with you about all the "This 'n Thats" with the B shares.
It really doesn't have a good feel to it although I can't point to anything specific.
I do have to wonder that about large brokerage houses being expected to jump through these hoops, make short deadlines and seemingly a lot of other demands from a penny stock company.
Again, I've nothing concrete to say the least.
It just doesn't feel right somehow.

USAA account activity shows the reverse split.
And the ONFI total is my post-r/s proper amount of shares

You're going to show one hell of a loss tomorrow .....
Hmm, wonder if that "loss" is tax deductable?

Interestingly, I had another stock last week that showed at .38 when it normally is in the .02 and .03 range.
So just for fun, I put in a sell order that night for 1,000 shares at .30
Only got 500 sold @.30 but that more than paid for my investment.
It's still showing .38 on the various sites now but with no bid or ask and I've got another order in for .30
Don't pretend to understand it, but who knows?

Was real tempted to put a sell order in for 100 shares of ONFI last night for $9,000 just to see what would happen like maybe that 99.999999999% chance that some computer trading program would bite.

I've got about the same number of shares now after the split.
Did have a very nice suprise last night when I looked at my brokerage account.
It showed ONFI at $9500.28 per share for a nice $1.6 million.
Unfortunately, today, it showed it at .28 per share.
Oh well, for a few hours, I guess, I was a millionaire.

Thanks.
Don't know what it is but I sure like the idea that my .02 share sold for .30

The "fat finger" seems to happen occasionally.
Last week at end of day, I noticed one of my holdings that usually is .02-.03 was showing a close of .38.
Put a sell order in for 1000 @.30 and low and behold, next day at opening sold 500 for .30 and then of course it dropped down to the usual level.
Interestingly, it is showing a close Friday back at .38 so will have to see Monday if my sell order at .30 goes through again.
If this keeps happening, will have to pick up some more.

Anyone know what Trudy Corp mentioned at the bottom of today's PR has to do with GLCC?

I don't remember seeing that name before.

"Additionally, it is understood that upon completion of the spin-off of the current operating company, there will be no liabilities or litigation to consider, except as provided and documented by Trudy Corp. The Company is currently designated current in its filings with the SEC, the Delaware Secretary of State, and any expenses due to its Transfer Agent."

If ROBOX only trades on Frankfort exchange, I think that will be a another screwing for many of us.
My broker charges $75 per transaction for trades on a "foreign" exchange.

Wonder if this is significant.

Actually with 6 million shares "paid" I can think of about $60K reasons they probably like QMLM better than I do these days.

Some paid for "news".

http://www.thestreetalert.com/

Slightly better than nothing I guess.

Disclaimer says paid with 6,000,000 shares of stock.

By "insider" do you mean the preferred shares or are you talking about the Interstate etc. shares.
Guess what I'm not understanding is whether or not there are different classes of common stock; some that split and others that didn't.
When I read that statement in the BK papers about not being affected by splits, it made no sense to me then either.

USAA accepted my order today but I apparently had it set too high to sell.

I don't think there is any such cable company as "National Cable".
However, the cities that are listed - at least two of them - are Comcast areas.
Doing a search on "National Cable" turns up what looks like an agency of some type that sells cable television spots.

So what it looks like is they have bought cable packages in the cities listed.

I live in one of the cities listed but do not plan to be glued to the tv set trying to catch the ad on one of the 38 potential channels.

In fact, it's possible the ad will only run one time per week on each of the channels.

Slightly better than nothing, I guess.

I, among many others, appreciate your efforts and report.
I'm sure some would say too trusting, but I don't need to see pictures for proof you visited the mine.
Only questions I have, and I'm sure even Eugene can't answer, is when is this thing going to start producing a steady amount of profitable coal?

Thanks again for your time and expenses.

You can read it on line as well at http://tinyurl.com/3sh7q4

Since Eugene owns all the voting stock, even if someone were to buy even ALL the common stock, wouldn't he still have total control of the company.
And, if so, would that still be considered a "take over"
Not arguing, just asking.

Just saw Kickbutt Balls on the Food Channel's "Unwrapped" program.
The show was about movie snacks and as they panned over a movie theater trade show, there was a big display for Kickbutt.
It was probably on screen for 1/2 a second two times but at least it was there.

If they show up in US movie theaters, that could be a good thing for GLCC IF the revenue makes it to GLCC.

Nice attitude she's got.
Also think this one is hopefully very appropriate.

How gold is mined at one place.
First, I'm not touting or promoting this stock.
In fact, it actually closed down today when most everything else was up.

I just found the video very interesting as I didn't realize how many steps it takes to get gold out of ore.
Guess I've seen too many western movies where big nuggets just pops up in the sluice pan.

And just to be clear, I own a measly 500 shares of this and way to much gspg based on my negative return right now.

I don't know if this is the same process gspg will use, but suspect it to be similar at least.

Lighten up a bit guys
First: If you read my message it states "IF the billboard is legit".
I did not say it was.
And note that it's part of a graphics portfolio and not a faked billboard to try to scam IHUB board members.

Second: note the my posting says these two sites are for graphic artists and are not meant to PROVE the existence of Sunjock Dairy. But I do think it SUGGESTS there is such a company.

Do a google search on sunjock -good for yourself.
On the second page after all the hits on porn sites you will see two sites in Chinese and the word sunjock in English

Access those.

You will see a Sunjock logo on one and on the other site you'll see other graphics art photos etc. that look like part of a portfolio.

The billboard may or may not be fake.

I'm not a photo interpretation expert like many on this board.
Yes, the edges of the "sign" look too sharp to me.

Could it be that the graphic artist who drew up the logos etc. was showcasing his work AS IT WOULD LOOK on a billboard.
Or is the graphics artist part of the grand scheme to defraud us all too?

As my first message said, I think these two Chinese sites indicate there is a milk company by the name of Sunjock.
Nothing more nothing less.

I did not post the links as proof of existance. Or that GLCC is thinking about buying it.

I posted them as I see them --- an indication there is probably a Sunjock Dairy someplace in China.

Maybe it's time for some to take off their tin foil hats and stop seeing a conspiracy in any post that even hints there may possibly be a SMALL speck of truth in a GLCC PR.
I actually found it refreshing to find something refered to in a PR in a search engine. That's very rare with a GLCC PR.

Sunjock Dairy probably exists based on these two sites.
Doesn't prove much about them though since these are "designer" sites to showcase their art work.

On the other hand, if the billboard is legit, it proves there is such a cow place.

I think too that we should keep in mind that not everybody or every company has web or internet presence etc.
Just because it isn't found (not I didn't say CAN'T BE FOUND because that often depends upon the searcher's skills) on Google, doesn't prove it doesn't exist.
And a term cropping up on Google may or may not have any bearing on what you are trying to find.

Actually that's about right for two of the so-called "Porta Potties".
I was talking with a guy who does septic tank clean outs/repairs/etc. recently and he said the portable units cost about $200 a month to rent --- that includes chemicals, dumping, picking up, delivery etc.

I had the same problem using Firefox 3.
Worked okay using IE7

I suspect there is an email address, I've just never gone hunting for it. There's certainly a phone number on the Quest web site.

Based on the MSHA report on line, I doubt that it was "shut" down since the report says active and I'm confident it would shout "SHUT DOWN" if that were so. If only so the agency can cover it's butt and "prove" it's doing it's job.
My definition of "shut down", by the way, is a direct order from the agency that you will not work until the items are repaired. I don't put shutting down the miner and conveyor for maintenance in that that category

And frankly, I don't think the violations were all that serious or even numerous when you look at some of the other mines - many of which have the same section violations.

Obviously, the goal should be zero violations. But I seriously doubt that is possible given the complexity of regulations and mining operations. Still it's a proper goal.

But I'm also confident the federal or state inspectors would shut it down instantly if there were potential or even hinted at life threatening problems such as the air system not working or sparks in the mine etc.

While some look at the report as being negative, I don't think it is. Obviously I wish it wasn't there but it doesn't lower my opinion of the operation.

And I appreciate the person finding it and posting the link.
It's good solid information subject to each of our own interpretations.
Same with the on-site reports folks have done and the photos I've seen posted.
And I appreciate the DD that Pedro and Kingofpennies do even if I don't agree with their interpretations much of the time.
But isn't that what makes for stock trading -- different opinions of the same "facts"?

I've got what for me is a pretty good sum of money invested in Quest. And, yes, like many, I'm down way more than I want to be right now. I will certainly not be a happy camper if it gets flushed. But I'll get over it.

(Of course, my wife will just add that to her "you sure screwed up this time" list. It is getting pretty long).

Quest is certainly a gamble. Probably better odds for a pay off than a lottery ticket or an Indian slot machine though.
But it falls far short of being a sure payoff like a government bond.
But I'm a big boy and I understand that and I want a better return on my money than a for sure government bond so I'm willing to speculate.

There are several things about Eugene and the operation that certainly raise some red flags.
Personally, I haven't yet put Quest in the "scam" catagory like some other pennies I've "invested" in.

It's very clear they exist; have a product that can/is being sold and are a going concern with a heck of a lot of potential.
Feds don't inspect phantom operations.

Right this minute I think Eugene will pull it off.

My knee jerk reaction is the BK is not good.
On the other hand, it does give judicial oversight and reporting and it does buy time to work things out.

So in that respect, it is a "good" thing.

A lot of companies have emerged from BK far stronger than ever before. And, yes, far more have gone under.

The share structure is troublesome for me too.
Not the A/S as much as the voting control, the board of directors, etc. all being in the hands of one person who seemingly is not responsible to anyone -- even the stock holders.

Even with several red flags waving and my own personal concerns, I'm leaving my money in for now and hoping for nice payout down the road a bit.

If it doesn't come, that's life in the penny lane.
If it does, you know it's all because of my keen insight and expertise at stock investments -- right.

So like probably 98% or more of the messages on here, there's nothing really factual in this one.

But that's my opinion right now and I'm sticking to it for the time being.

I looked at a Patriot Coal (PCX $3+ billion market cap) mine report and they have as many if not more violations.

I've never worked with mining inspectors but have had experience with OSHA which is much along the same vein -- employee safey.
There is no large operation that is not going to have "violations" when an OSHA or MSHA inspector rolls up.

It's just the nature of the beasts and a reflection of often conflicting rules and regulations and complex operations.

One other thing the White Star violation report proves beyond a shadow of a doubt is that there is a coal mine on that mountain - albeit one who needs a good electrician to do some proper wiring.

Google the fax number 866-455-6270 at the top of GLCC's PR's as filed on pinksheets and guess whose fax it is.

Hint: It's a Canadian based company whose initials are MM.

So it would seem they are more than a mere "stock holder" still.

Wonder if this is of any significane.
Google searh of the "corporate" phone number a the top of the fax brings up this page.
http://www.atomicbobs.com/index.php?mode=read&id=310805

I'm not interested in the content necessarily, just the signature.

Hint: It's real familiar name to folks on this board and associated with the fax number.

Want to guess the name?

hmm, is this the "buy on rumor sell on news" advice I hear about?

I'm beginning to believe that what a company does and how it does it isn't the reason people buy stocks anymore. Part of this rationale on my part is I've heard several people say they don't "trade the company, they trade the stock".

I take that to mean they are looking only at technicals, not fundamentals. A good example of that is the large number of stocks that go into the hole year after year, yet their stocks trade well because they go up and down and folks can buy and sell on dips.

I've had more than one person tell me the days of "buy and hold" are over. It's now buy-sell-buy-sell-buy-sell the same stock over and over again hopefully taking some small profit on each trade.

Another reason I think this this scenario might be true is look how many stocks actually pay dividends. Very few.

Also I know on several small stocks I have, I think in the back of my mind I know the only way they are going to make me much return will be when (if?) they are bought out.

Of course I could be very wrong about all this too.
