Is JB buying back ??? !!! ???

I took a look at http://www.redwoodcapinc.com/en/index.htm
Strange, on the news-page I can't find any 'post-date' for the items. Also, when I open a news-item, I can't find back when the news is/was posted. I find this strange and annoying.

Should be communicated to JB; who can do this?

On the home-page, there is also a "case-sammary" item, but here the "link" to the page is broken ...

Not very professional ...

02/23 : The company expects testing, which will take approximately one week to complete, to begin as early as this week.

02/23 : Testing at the two hospitals will begin immediately after the testing laboratory has completed their testing. The hospital clinical trials are expected to take two weeks, and the trials will occur at both hospitals at the same time.

03/15 : still no update ... !!! ???

and who is strong selling ???

And who sold the 11M shares? Are they dumped by the company?

just like he told us in 2010 he had 3 new clients ...

They don't buy, they sell !!!

I've bought yesterday 5M, you never know ...
My order was alrady 2 weeks in the market and is filled now.
(51 random pieces of +/- 100K-shares a time).

Thus they don't buy, they sell !!!
Do you know somebody else who should sell/dump 15M shares @ $0,0002 ???

Any news?

These new people have to be payed. Where comes that money from?

Sell shares from previous deal(s)?
New deal(s)?
Make some debt?
Sell some extra SIVC shares?

I know it. They will be payed with extra SIVC-shares, because when all those announced deals will become closed deals then SIVC-shares ... so told Jim.

I'm afraid you are right; who else should sell 10M shares @ $0,0002 ???

I don't know what was the best news:
1) Approval of the share buy-back
2) Anouncing 1 or more closed deals. I mean finished deals and not potential deals.

What's your opinion?

Suppose average of $0,0004/share x 500.000.000 shares = $200.000
Do they have the money for this buy-back?

I don't think JB is buying the shares but he is selling extra shares. Do you know anyone who has millions of SIVC-shares and should sell now at these prices?
I just think JB is putting extra shares on the market.
Why, I don't know ...

When may we expect the latest Q-figures to keep 'current' on OTC ?

"As a company th at is committed to full transparency as it

status. This is an ongoing assurance to shareholders that up-to-date financial

indeed "news out" but nothing new to tell ...

Always the same story ...

good news? There was any news last week(s) ...

until now 14.000.000 x $0,0003 = $4,200 ...
I'm just afraid JB needs more money and is dumping again some shares

Nice news, but what brings this for us?
Are there any new deals in the pipeline?
What about the 3 previous announced deals?
When become these CLOSED-deals?

Again, what can we do with this kind of "good news" about Mongolie opportunities; the good news about BOY etc.

In the meantime we felt down to $0,0002 and 4B shares

NOW 10M share-dumps at $0,0003 makes $3.000, not good ...

Any news about the previous announced (3?) deals?
Are they canceled or still pending?

When do we get some news about the 3 new deals?
Are they canceled?

Another additional director who wants a bonus in free shares ...

JB increased # of outstanding shares because he is expecting very good news = extra new closed deals very soon.
Should this be possible reason or just wishful thinking?

The good news is that the Q-results are published on time.
The bad news is more outstanding shares.

Any other good news?

Q-results released on time !!! ???


Still 2 days ... I guess they will be to late ... again ...

NEWS expected this week -- still two days to go --

otherwise they are still to late again to publish their Q-results ...

NEWS --- expected this week --- !!!


At least if they want to publish their Q-results right on time. Am I correct?

Will they publish their Q-results right on time? Stil how many days?

Thx Myth for your answer.
Do you think they get 5/15/10?

I'm afraid OS will be increased again, because of the high volumes last months.

I can't believe someone just buys 1 million shares at $0.0005 to sell them at e.g. $0.0007; this should mean $200 profit/1M-shares

I don't sell below $0.007, this means $6.500 profit for each $500 investment (1M shares bought at $0.0005).

Someone knows when Q1/2010 info need to be released / published?

Outstanding Shares 2,075,318,768 as of December 31, 2009

Will there be an increase of outstanding shares again?

Much more outstanding shares + bigger float since Mar 31, 2009. What's the reason?


Outstanding Shares
1,762,177,742 as of Mar 31, 2009
2,075,318,768 as of Dec 31, 2009

Authorized Shares
4,900,000,000 as of Mar 31, 2009 + as of Dec 31, 2009

Number of Share Holders of Record
204 as of Feb 11, 2009
197 as of Dec 31, 2009

Number of Beneficial Share Holders
3,312 as of Dec 31, 2008
????? as of Dec 31, 2008

Float
623,307,343 as of Feb 11, 2009
1,574,973,527 as of Dec 31, 2009

I think someone missunderstood the news and thought SIVC has 3 new deals, but unfortunately they are for BOY.
Therefor up to $0.0009 and now down again to $0.0005
I changed some old open orders from $0.0004 into $0.0005 and in 2 minutes they were filled in.

Thus, dumping isn't stopped yet !!!

New deal is coming .. I feel it ...

new dump today ???

Sorry for you, Sloth, but I've bought 5m shares in 5 minutes.
I'm still asking who/why someone drops shares at these prices.

I hope there are no unexpected surprises.

Great news but no word about new deals

I think the share-price is sometimes manipulated.
e.g. look at 2009/09/02, 2009/09/29, 2009/10/15

I think 1 person or some people buy some million shares for less money and some hours later they sell many of them at much % higher prices.

Some days / weeks later they dump again the rest, like the latest days/weeks at $0,0006 and $0,0005.

Some weeks later, the person(s) redo the same exercise:
Then they buy again all (=some million) shares at $0,0005, $0,0006 and $0,0007.
Some others begin buying because they believe in this squeeze.
The initial buyer begins to sell at $0,0010 or higher.
The rest of the shares are then again dumped at $0,0006 or $0,0005

NEWS : S3 Investment Company Posts December 2009 Investor Newsletter with Review of Calendar Year Accomplishments

Publication also reviews recent quarterly filings that reported net income for the period ended September 30, 2009

Issued Monday, Dec. 21, 11:07 am ET

DANVILLE, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec. 21, 2009--S3 Investment Company, Inc. (Other OTC: SIVC) today announced that the company has posted the December edition of its shareholder newsletter, which includes a review of the 2009 calendar year and the accomplishments of the company’s Redwood Capital subsidiary.

A PDF version of S3’s December 2009 newsletter can be viewed on the company's website at http://www.s3investments.com/media/news/.

Among Redwood Capital’s 2009 calendar year accomplishments reviewed in the newsletter is the completion of a reverse-takeover transaction involving Boyuan Group, Inc., a Redwood Capital client. As a result of the acquisition and concurrent financing, which was announced in early March, Boyuan Construction’s common shares became listed on Canada’s TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol BOY. Its participation in the Boyuan RTO transaction initially earned Redwood Capital 330,219 shares of Boyuan common stock. Additional common stock was issued to Redwood Capital in July when another round of financing on behalf of Boyuan Construction Group was completed.

Another Redwood Capital transaction, this one completed in October on behalf of China Infrastructure Construction Corporation, is included in the year-in-review feature. The USD$10 million equity offering was twice as large as the amount originally planned and was initiated in order to allow China Infrastructure Construction Corporation to build on its strength as one of Beijing’s major ready-mix concrete suppliers. Redwood Capital received both cash and stock compensation for its work on the China Infrastructure Construction Corporation transaction.

The newsletter reviews a number of other positive developments related to the company and its subsidiaries from calendar 2009, including S3 filing periodic consolidated financial statements and as a result, achieving “Current Information” status at the Pink Sheets OTC Disclosure and News Service; the formation of a new Redwood Medical subsidiary; an agreement securing the first product to be distributed by Redwood Medical in China; and the announcement of additional Redwood Capital client engagement agreements.

Both the year-in-review and a separate newsletter article highlight S3’s consolidated financial report for the period ended September 30, 2009 showed the generation of net income for the period and reports the paying off of notes payable, resulting in additional forgiveness of company debt. The report’s narrative includes management’s expectation that both revenues and gross profit will increase in the 2nd quarter of the current fiscal year. The company also reported that as of September 30, 2009, it had net working capital of $925,500 and cash of $35,485 compared to net working capital of $183,203 and cash of $169,583 at June 30, 2009.

“The December newsletter provides us a platform to point out how well S3’s Redwood Capital subsidiary has performed during the 2009 calendar year, especially considering the meltdown of the financial markets in late 2008,” said S3 Investment Company Chairman and CEO Jim Bickel. “Achieving what it did under those conditions is a tremendous accomplishment for Redwood Capital, and we believe that it is positioned to achieve even more next year. Add to that the formation of Redwood Medical, and we expect that S3’s operations in China will have a very successful 2010. Beyond our operations, bringing S3’s financial information current and reaching ‘Current Information’ through the Pink Sheets system was another priority and we are pleased to have achieved that goal during 2009 as well.

“All told, we have great expectations for 2010 and hope that our shareholders are as excited about the possibilities as we are,” added Mr. Bickel.

SIVC...TenSeven...thanks, this seems a reasonable answer.
I just hope they sell "old" shares and not new ones.

By the way, on the iBox I see there are
Outstanding Shares=1,762,177,742 as of Jun 30, 2009
Float=1,110,331,501 as of Jun 30, 2009

Is it possible some old debt holders sell their shares and therefor the float becomes greater then current float=1,110,331,501 ???
While the number of outstanding shares isn't changed???
