BLDV's got nuttin ********
nothing but big cahoon nuts
BLDV is ROCKY BALBOA
come on is that the best you can do? That doesnt hurt.
come on and give us your best shot.
I'm still here standing
Your not a fighter and you dont have the shares to smack this down
BLDV will go the distance
I feel some shorts will soon feel the pain.
almost no volume out there
but their hearts are in the right place. Wish they could smack it down to 0.0001 again.
Not trading a share on such low volume.
Quix
I havent sold a share
Just love the smell of napalm in the morning though
yeah I was wondering if the cahune nut can survive hurricane winds, since there was a tropical depression in the Belize area.
I found a link on the coconut insurance act

Personally I dont think any damage was done on the crop and if anything has made it easier to collect the nuts and make a harvest. Could probably increase BLDV's production this year once the rain stops.
many have sold their spares!
on those low volume days when BLDV was a cent
or point 012!
Is that something you even brag at the pumps?
for anywhere else when your talking
a shiny penny
Would be worse then a shopping
at a garage sale or dump!
BLDV is a penny play
That management and some say
Is destined for a nasdaq listing
some day...
some day...
you just might regret blowing out your wad of shares
that cost more to print, then the price listed that day.
For a penny play holding many government big wigs
Generals and Presidents
Might just be worth more
then the figure head found on your red cent
even a wooden nickel
is 5 cents
and a schooner dime in canada they say
is worth as much or more then the american 10 cents
for brains of presidents and fossils once roamed
we are running low while the black stuff is liquid gold
all yee who have the brass balls
to pick up shares down here
and carry LONG!
for the cahoon palm nut grows!
every year, in the rainforest so many unemployed hold dear
jobs jobs jobs while those with nuts are making a pretty cent
1000 grow on each branch
and many more on each tree
Gods gift to man
for money does grow on trees!
Go go go BLDV!!!!
Baladamis, wouldnt forward splitting SYNM shares would make it even harder for SYNM to hold the $1 minimum share price to continue to hold NASDAQ requirements? SYNM needs to reduce their shares, in order to increase the value of the stock, that or find more assets to add to their stock to maintain listing.
Unless BLDV announces news of some kind of numbers regarding how much their assets are worth, what with working with the Belize government and all that untapped land, mature palms producing oil as we speak. Thats got to be worth something while other bio-fuel plays are going bankrupt buying expensive feedstocks such as corn and soybeans, better the cahoon palm nut of BLDV to use instead.
Total combined asset value of SYNM and BLDV have to increase the NASDAQ value to the point that the min $1 share amount is easier to hold and maintain. They dont want SYNM to be borderline, they want a merge or combination to propel the SYNM stock into higher valuations and stability.
Good for SYNM and BLDV as I'm sure SYNM shareholders are none to pleased about almost losing their listings. SYNM needs to get bigger and adding BLDV would be an easy way to accomplish that.
Isnt Texas big enough for BLDV?
This tells me they have plans for either Florida location, or they like Florida states laws better when conducting or controlling their assets, since I'm no Florida state lawyer, maybe someone else can shed some light on the advantages of registering an Florida Foreign Limited Liability Corp.

Citron Research Updates Home Solutions of America
http://www.citronresearch.com/index.php/2007/07/11/citron-research-updates-home-solutions-of-america/#more-248
Posted in Citron Reports by CitronResearch on the July 11th, 2007
stock ticker: HSOA
Home Solutions of America: Update July 17
Last month, Home Solutions of America (NASDAQ:HSOA) rocked the world with rapid-fire news that it had entered into two $100 million dollar construction contracts — the largest in its history – one in Tampa and one in New York.The bloom quickly came off the rose as HSOA scrambled to “correct” the New York story – on June 11, it had to re-write history – excising counterparty “SD Consulting” out of the picture because of the revelation that its principal was David Goldwasser, a recently released felon convicted of financial fraud. HSOA inserted “Blue Diamond Group” as the counterparty in the story.Last week, Citron Research suggested that the Tampa project was likely a related party transaction, arranged with a Jeff Craft, an employee of Fireline Restoration, a subsidiary of HSOA. Meanwhile, the status of the New York project, contracted from Blue Diamond, has remained unclear, especially as to its ability to finance or fund a “$100 million dollar contract”.
In the interest of bringing further clarity to this, Citron Research reports that state business filings raise significant questions as to whether Blue Diamond itself is a related party to Fireline, and thus to HSOA.
At www.sunbiz.org/search.html , look up “Blue Diamond Ventures LLC”. On June 6, just days after the New York contract announcement, and before the June 11 “correction” naming Blue Diamond as the counterparty, Richard Holowchak filed as a Florida Limited Liability entity. The listed manager is Tom Davis of Tampa Fl.
The problem is, Tom Davis is the Vice President of Fireline Restoration. http://www.firelinerestoration.com/meet_the_team.htm .
Hired contractor or partnership?
So the question remains – is Blue Diamond a related party to HSOA? The June 11 PR stated that someone hired them and agreed to pay them $100 million – presumably an outside party committing to buy and pay for $100 million in construction services. If the parties are in fact related, the press release is false.
While Fireline still does not appear to be a licensed contractor in New York, Blue Diamond Ventures LLC filed as a Florida Foreign Limited Liability Corp – on July 2, 2007.
http://appsext8.dos.state.ny.us/corp_public/CORPSEARCH.ENTITY_INFORMATION?p_nameid=3531695&p_corpid=3538272&p_entity_name=%42%6C%75%65%20%44%69%61%6D%6F%6E%64%20&p_name_type=%41&p_search_type=%42%45%47%49%4E%53&p_srch_results_page=2
Is history still being rewritten?
Is this project an arms-length contract or a joint venture propped up by HSOA’s own employees?
Just because there’s a jobsite, it does not mean that HSOA has earned a contracted right to receive two $100 million dollar payments from outside parties with the ability to pay them. If these bona fide contracts do not exist, the PR’s announcing them are false.
How long will Tom Davis remain on the Fireline website? Will he be the third name to disappear?
Citron Research continues to believe HSOA is a house of cards propped up on cashless earnings and mounting receivables.
“They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth” Plato
It is now close to a month and a half after Home Solutions announced the $100 million contract in Tampa and we have finally made some progress in finding out what we believe to be the mystery project. After 6 weeks of searching up and down all over Hillsborough County for what might be this 600,000 square foot project, Citron believes we have finally found it. It seems to fit much of the criteria of what has been described to the public.
It is the belief of Citron Research that the Hillsborough project is attempting to be built (as they don’t have permits) on a 9 acre parcel of land in Gibsonton, Florida. The developer is currently in negotiation with the county in an attempt to get the land rezoned. We believe that the land is being developed by the local real estate development firm of Craftmar Construction and Development. Here is some local reading on Craftmar’s attempt to get zoning for the project.
http://www.hillsboroughcounty.org/htv/caption/scripts/zm061127.rtf
Yet, there is one problem. As Brian Marshall is telling the investing community, “We are pleased to have been selected for another major construction management project”, he fails to mention…that he owns Craftmar Construction along with Fireline employee Jeff Craft.
http://www.sunbiz.org/scripts/cordet.exe?action=DETFIL&inq_doc_number=P04000116026&inq_came_from=NAMFWD&cor_web_names_seq_number=0000&names_name_ind=N&names_cor_number=&names_name_seq=&names_name_ind=&names_comp_name=CRAFTMAR&names_filing_type=
Furthermore, in what appears to be a last minute attempt to rewrite history, Jeff Craft has recently been taken off the Fireline website in the past month. It has been so recent, that Google still has the cached version of him on the site.
Here is Jeff with Fireline- http://www.firelinerestoration.com/team.htm
And here is the current Fireline Team page, Jeff Craft is not listed with Fireline:
http://www.firelinerestoration.com/meet_the_team.htm
This is the second time Fireline has had to resort to rewriting history to remove an important person from the Fireline team – Brian Marshall’s brother Roy Marshall had to be expunged from the Fireline site, too. We are left to guess if it was because of his troubling past regarding consumer fraud.
But, c’mon would Home Solutions ever put out a misleading news release about doing business with a related party entity and not disclose it??? déjà vu’
What makes this Tampa project so important to corporate credibility is:
1. The company never filed an 8-K with the SEC regarding the project.
2. Their own analyst David Yuschak never raised his guidance after this announcement
3. NO ONE seems to know the location of this mystery project
4. If the contract does not exist, all investors also must question the mystery receivables.
Citron believes this is all a major SEC 10b-5 violation. The rule prohibits any act or omission resulting in fraud or deceit in connection with the purchase or sale of any security. Omission is key here as the company continues to omit all relevant information to shareholders.
Conclusion
Citron Research believes the problems at Home Solutions extend way beyond this Tampa Project. We still do not know who is paying them $100 million in New York and for what reason they are paying them. We still do not know who owes the receivables and are left staring at the auditors’ comment about not being able to match receivables to invoices. Most importantly there is no definitive vision for the future of the company as they seem to lack cash and a steady workflow of projects that they can actually collect money from.
Most of all, we do not understand how investors are not appalled at the outrageous SG&A expenses of Home Solutions that topped $9 million last quarter while the company continues to deliver cashless earnings. According to management and Sanders Morris we are supposed to believe the company on their word and because we have faith……faith is for religion, not for investing.
Cautious Investing To All.
more DD: Dynamic Fuels-Syntroleum/Tyson Foods joint venture
OK, so Syntroleum is going for Bonds and working with Tyson in building a bigger plant. So what about their other plant they want to sell? They want to raise $135 million but sbc rules say they can only raise $100 million. Think they might sell their smaller plant to BLDV for the difference in funds needed?
Very interesting indeed. Hard to keep track of all the spin off companies and shells.

Dynamic Fuels Secures Preliminary Approval for Bonds
Monday May 19, 1:53 pm ET
Venture by Tyson Foods and Syntroleum to Use Louisiana GO Zone Bonds
http://biz.yahoo.com/pz/080519/143008.html
GEISMAR, La., May 19, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Dynamic Fuels LLC has secured preliminary approval from the Louisiana State Bond Commission (SBC) of its application to issue tax exempt Gulf Opportunity Zone (GO Zone) Bonds to fund the building of the company's first renewable synthetic fuels facility in Geismar, Louisiana. Dynamic is a 50:50 venture between Syntroleum Corporation (NasdaqCM:SYNM - News) and Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE:TSN - News) to convert low grade, inedible fats and greases into renewable synthetic diesel, jet and military fuel.
ADVERTISEMENT
While the amount requested on the application was $135 million, rules recently adopted by the SBC may limit the actual allocation for any single project to $100 million. Dynamic Fuels and its underwriter, SunTrust, will submit terms for the bond sale for final approval by the SBC at its June 19th meeting. The total estimated cost of the project is $150 million. Remaining funding needed to finance the project will be provided by Tyson and Syntroleum.
The availability of the tax exempt Go Zone bonds is the result of the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005, which is designed to help rebuild economies devastated by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The Dynamic Fuels venture is expected to generate approximately 250 short-term construction jobs and 65 highly skilled permanent jobs.
``We appreciate the Commission's decision to approve the bonds, which will provide beneficial financing for this project,' Jeff Webster, senior vice president of Tyson's Renewable Products Division. ``In addition to creating jobs, this value-added venture will give animal agriculture an opportunity to participate in the production of renewable fuels and is also an environmentally sound way to contribute to America's energy security.'
``Approval of our application by the Bond Commission is a key milestone in our efforts to build a new industry in this country,' said Jeff Bigger, senior vice president of business development for Syntroleum. ``Timely action by the Bond Commission permits us to maintain our project schedule and targeted first production in early 2010.'
Engineering and environmental work are in progress and equipment requiring a long lead time has been ordered. Construction is expected to begin in the fall of 2008 with completion targeted for the end of 2009. Once in operation, the plant is expected to produce about 75 million gallons of renewable synthetic fuel annually.
The fuel produced by the venture will offer the same benefits of synthetic fuels derived from coal or natural gas while providing substantial performance and environmental advantages over petroleum-based fuels. These benefits include higher cetane levels, which are a measure of combustion quality, and superior thermal stability, making it effective for advanced military applications. In addition, replacing traditional petroleum fuel with this fuel substantially reduces total greenhouse gas emissions.
Various non-food grade animal fats produced or procured by Tyson Foods, such as beef tallow, pork lard, chicken fat and greases, are expected to be used as renewable feedstock for this venture.
Syntroleum continued financial woes
It looks to me like Syntroleum can continue to have problems if they do a dilutive financing and they dont expect to make any revenue from their facilities for the "near future".
So why wouldnt they want to sell it off to raise some CASH or merge with BLDV to gain access to Belize cahoon/cahune palm nut oil stocks at a time where rising beef/chicken/soy/corn stocks are rising?
Remember that Syntroleum cant get funding easily in todays capital markets, whereas BLDV securing Full fiscal support from Belize govt.

Recent news on Syntroleum
http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2008/05/20/surprising-low-rated-stocks-the-leaders-love.aspx
Still, as promising as this sounds, a lot of words are in the future tense when discussion ensues. words The biodiesel products this company will produce are still quite a way off, and the company admits in its SEC filings that it doesn't expect to realize any significant revenue from its facilities for at least the "near future."
The lack of revenue keeps some investors cautious on this company, even if the end product might be useful. For example, CAPS player adallik sees problems if Syntroleum has to go back to the credit markets to raise money during a time of illiquidity: "Syntroleum's near-term revenues are not enough to cover operating costs, requiring the firm to find new revenue and funding sources. A weakened credit market could hamper the company's ability to raise funds and delay projects."
BLDV's ibox serious need of updating
Full fiscal support from Belize govt.
It doesnt even mention the cahoon/cahune palm, or the Jatropha as mentioned in the video.
It should mention the news of us looking at 3 possible bio-diesel plants and then list the various candidates we have found so far as potential suiters, on BLDV's goal of getting listed to the NASDAQ.
Likely other points as well. Feel free to mention them.

CDI wins 5-year US Navy contract worth up to $139M
By Associated Press May 13, 2008 Comments (0)
http://www.fool.com/news/associated-press/2008/05/13/cdi-wins-5-year-us-navy-contract-worth-up-to-139m.aspx
Engineering and information technology outsourcing company CDI Corp. said Tuesday a subsidiary was awarded a five-year watercraft engineering and marine services contract by the U.S. Navy worth a potential $139 million.
Under the deal's terms, CDI Marine Co. will serve as the lead contractor in the design and construction of watercraft for the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Norfolk, Va.
Shares of CDI lost 11 cents to $27.72 in after-hours trading, after closing at $27.83 during the regular session.
***********************
Nice expensive stock, just awarded money to develop a new kind of watercraft for the US Navy. CDI related to Syntroleum-Tyson and bio-fuels. What are the odds that the US navy will use Palm nut oil for smaller lighter navy watercraft as part of their nimbler faster military?

Now CDI has the money to build, the contract to build, and wants a bio-fuel plant as well, what is the odds that CDI wouldnt want to acquire little BLDV to secure a supply of fuel that isnt related to corn or soy, like the Belizian cahoon palm nut? We know CDI has worked with Tyson and Tyson thinks its nuts using corn and soy as feedstocks, I would think this is good news for little BLDV.
Would the US Navy like to stick it to OPEC on its oil, using nimble fast high tech lethal watercraft? Something to combat IRAN possibly with their missiles they have? You would probably need a high energy source fuel, hello Cahoon Palm nut oil!
Something like a catamaran that skims on top of the water and goes super fast, full of missiles and other lethal attack gear. Using technology developed from the US sailing teams, light fast nimble. Less need for large aircraft carriers that are sitting ducks and fuel hogs.
$26 dollar stock could buy little BLDV in as fast as I can say "halt on news!".
Gotta love the market,

Sandals in the dessert.
Let me tell you a little story about sandals in the dessert balamidas. LOL
I just had to go there. But in my travels to Egypt I was amazed to find rug schools and art schools everywhere. Basically all the trinkets that tourists buy of papyrus paper, a rug to take home its the schools that teach those skills to the people and the products are sold as souvineers to tourists.
Now look at Belize, tons of labor out of work standing around poor. What should they be doing? Picking cahoon nuts! Planting Jatropha raising goats and aquaculture along Belize vast coastline.
BLDV has everything it needs to get on the NASDAQ on its own. It has fiscal support from Belize. There is definite interest by the US military for bio-fuel, BLDV has tied up cahoon palm nut connections, Syntroleum wants to sell a bio fuel plant in the US (see news article I posted earlier). What are the odds BLDV snatches that one up?
I dont know exactly how everything is going to work out. But I do know the pieces are all there and BLDV hasnt needed to dillute its stock as far as everyone can tell. Like BLDV management has said they have been working tirelessly, It certainly does appear so and its very possible that shareholders will soon reap their efforts. If they gave out stock to get Belize on board, it was a good deal indeed.
Egypt makes sandals, papyrus paper plaques and rugs. They teach their children a trade that their economy can use to make money. Its a dessert after all and you have to make and sell what you have there. It appears to me that BLDV will be helping Belize train their people in goats, aquaculture, cahoon nuts and Jatropha plant growing among other things. We are talking about helping out a country and building a bio fuel economy which will help the USA at a time when Mexico is slapped with a 15% year over year reduction in oil production with its major Cantarell oil blowout.
It all adds up at a time when the USA is realing under a falling US dollar and OPECs continual squeeze on its barrel of oil at $130 and rising every month. Even the USA needs to change its economy, Tyson is saying a peak in cattle is occurring, think 10 or 20 years from now and we maybe eating a whole lot less beef. After all we have been tearing down rain forest to grow beef and now we are finding out PH of oceans are changing. Aquaculture with changing PH will be needed even more and Belize coastline is perfectly suited for this. Tyson & Syntroleum are linked together, with Syntroleum having a plant for sale in the US as BLDV is shopping for one.
It all ties in to a green economy and less reliance on oil from the area where the sandals are made in the dessert.
In EGYPT I saw people working in fields from sun up to dusk cutting fields with nothing but a knife. In Can and the USA we feel kids wont even work and have to be highly educated and do high tech things. But the fact is, a lot of the world will do what their economy supports. The USA is starting to crumble and they need to diversify their military and oil sources under the pressure of declining production year after year. I can see Jathropa plants being tended by Texans and Belize people alike in the future. The world will likely be a harder place to be in as oil continues to rise, lets hope that we at least keep things in Balance with mother nature and keep our top soil, our water clean and people fed and working.
SGW page 14 was a confirmer for me
Nice to see the overlay in the cahoon palm nut oil
can it get any better then that?
BLDV is looking at 3 possible plants to buy in the US
Syntroleum looks like a very serious candidate.
Awesome find SGW!
Yeah I had a lucky day, this Norman connection was bothering me, so the bullplop about Alaska and my own personal research in those areas made me decide to look at possible US millitary uses of bio-fuel. Then just reading that news article and happening across the mention of Syntroleum closing a plant, well thats all it took. The fact that it all adds up with even goats and cahoon nuts, I mean do a search on the internet for cahoon nuts and there isnt many hits to find. Search for goats and USA and you will also see Tyson foods mentioned right away. Then you see Tyson upset about ethanol production using corn and you just know goat breeding tyson with BLDV's use of bio-diesel is a better match then corn and you just know that Tyson maybe involved in wanting to start up something that saves on soy and corn costs, by making its own fuels or something like that.
BLDV has options here. We have the Belizian connections, we have the Texas A&M research connections, its all there.
Belize full fiscal support incentives for BLDV
You have to listen to that video well. With BLDV's high end connections to Belize and even "Storming Norman" a hint of also US millitary connections or interest. It seems to me that rather then going through dillutive financings on the market, BLDV instead probably gave the 176 mill restricted shares to the Belizian & US government for access to the cahoon palm nuts, in exchange for;
"Blue Diamond can expect full support in terms of fiscal incentives from the Belizian Government"
listen to it said in the video;
http://www.wbrtv1.com/media_stream/1912/blue-diamond-ventures.html
So BLDV has fiscal incentives and support from the Belizian Govt, in terms of the US millitary we know they need a cheaper supply of high energy liquid fuel sources and the Belizian Cahoon Palm nut fits that bill
Whats even more interesting is the mention of a 50 million USA embassy built in Belize. Why else would this be mentioned in a BLDV promotional video if there isnt some kind of reason for it? BLDV must have connections, really big ones!
First off the Belizian government gave what the Lyndham college to BLDV for land to set up operations. The US was also setting up a new embassy in Belize and also interestingly, and you will like this....
Belize (02/08)
The U.S. military has a diverse and growing assistance program in Belize that has included the construction and renovation of several schools and youth ...
www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/1955.htm
hmmm....the US government renovating Belize schools at the same time BLDV gets school land in Belize. Storming Norman from the US and BLDV's own Phillip Priestly British ambassador to Belize!
So what does this relationship get? BLDV has lots of connections to training and educational centers, the relationship with Texas A&M university for one. With that educational prestige and there is more;

He served as Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture for 13 years. de la Garza maintains close relationships with many world leaders and agricultural ministers.
So what does all these educational connections have to do with Belize, the US Millitary and BLDV?
What do I think? I think that because Belize needs jobs jobs jobs, that BLDV has shown that it is a Research support/training and will help teach the Belizian people on how to pick the cahoon nuts and get the rest of the goat/Jatropha that BLDV is so involved with
Even that video mentions "Research support/training" right at the start;
http://www.wbrtv1.com/media_stream/1912/blue-diamond-ventures.html
So here we have high ranking connections, the US military involved, the need to train workers for a new economy BLDV having the educational background skills and connections, Belize having fertile land, cheap labor, high end fuel sources and good land for growing more goat/Jatropha to build a bio fuel economy.
I think we have it right here in BLDV!
"Blue Diamond can expect full support in terms of fiscal incentives from the Belizian Government"
listen to it said in the video;
http://www.wbrtv1.com/media_stream/1912/blue-diamond-ventures.html
so this little penny play has the funds and connections. With Syntroleum closing their plant, almost getting delisted from the Nasdaq and already working with Palm oil, the marrying of all these events and the use of US Military fuel applications just all seems to fit together as a very possible situation at hands.
Nasdaq here BLDV comes! imho.

Tyson pres says cattle may have peaked forever
What do you think the odds are that goat will increase in consumption with rising ethanol production and foodstuff costs?
Interesting that Tyson a major producer of beef is mentioning a peak and well, we also know they are into goats too.
Could BLDV be onto something as well? A bit ahead of their times. Leaner meats like Goat and bio-fuels.

Tyson Foods president says cattle cycle 'may have peaked forever' because of ethanol
http://irjci.blogspot.com/2008/02/tyson-foods-president-says-cattle-cycle.html
Recently we reported one major bank's opinion that the cattle market may no longer be cyclical. According to Tyson Foods president and CEO Dick Bond, the nation's cattle industry should brace for major reductions in herds, reports Mark Lefens of Meatingplace.com.
"Bond painted a new scenario for the U.S. beef industry where higher input costs force producers into a long-term herd reduction, packers reduce excess capacity and consumers pay more for beef," Lefens writes. "Bond singled out what he called the 'almost criminal' government mandates supporting ethanol production, which he said have doubled the cost of feed grains."
Bond said beef producers must move respond to the desires of consumers with newer products more in line with changing tastes and diets. He also called for increased traceability when it comes to cattle. (Read more)

syntroleum BLDV Tyson Foods???
Interesting commonalities when you look at things!
-Goats are better then chicken, beef or pork for fats and oils.
-cahoon palm nut, higher energy too
-BLDV said to be looking to buy a bio-fuel plant and syntroluem closed theirs.
-General Storming Norman has intervied BLDV and we know the US -US military in the news seeking out alternative fuel sources with high oil.
-Belize strategically English democaratic country with Chavez expansionist policy getting ever closer to US doorstep. Only 200 miles away from US market makes the cahoon palm nut a logical choice
-Cahoon palm nut twice burning energy then coconut oil.
-massive Belize rain forest untapped, yeilding lots of oil on a yearly and renewable basis.
-Belize government signed deals with BLDV fully supporting them
-What are the odds that the US military and Belize government have signed some kind of a deal?
-Tyson foods that works with Syntroleum also is involved with the production of goat meat!

What about BLDV buying Syntroleum plant?
Here we have a high energy cahoon palm nut and a perfectly matched refinery thats waiting for a buyer. Think selling B-1,B-52 or F-16 fuel to the US government would be profitable? I think it would be. All good things start small.
http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB121134017363909773-lMyQjAxMDI4MTIxMTMyNDEwWj.html
Syntroleum shut down the plant that produced the fuel used in the B-52 test flight; it had only been designed to produce small samples for experiments. More described in the article including fuel costs etc.

goforthebet,
You dont have to be sorry. This is a bull board where banter and conversation helps to build everyones knowledge, or in some cases mislead them. Personally I dont think you had an agenda to mislead like others on here have. For me, I was just trying to separate the benefit that the cahoon palm nut oil has. Benefits that differentiate ourselves from other plays is what is helpful in establishing value of a stock.
Gotta love the market,
Quix
GoforBet your post covered standard bio-diesel
But compared to coconut oil, cahune/cahoon palm nut oil contains twice the burning power.
So, I think your table doesn't take into consideration that fact of this amazing fuel source. On that point, I think your table is likely slightly misleading/misinforming the public on the BLDV board with regards to the cahoon nut oil, even though it shows many benefits over conventional oils that come from the ground. I suspect that the numbers would even be better then what you posted for the cahoon/cahune nut. But for standard bio fuels BLDV would produce using standard biomass, that table is right on.
Have to wait till more info develops on this, but your posts on Belize with regards to the 5 points, aquaculture etc, are very good. Everything BLDV is doing fits Belize like a glove. Good things to come out of that partnership.
Have a great weekend Goforthebet,

Storming Norman was here!
Now you know why he did a news article on little BLDV, the strategic significance of Belize and its high oil energy source, the cahoon palm nut.
One has to wonder how well that oil made into a bio-diesel would run in say a tank or a jet, jet fuel?
With Mexico Cantarell in a 15% decline year over year, much of it used to supply to the USA, with the Belizian rain forest also right on the USA's doorstep, at least is a logical supply to start growing and tapping from year after year without degradation to its environment.
**Important Interview between BLDV CEO, John Quincy Moaning, and General Norman Schwarzkopf:
http://www.wbrtv1.com/media_stream/1912/blue-diamond-ventures.html
Think Norman was sold on the benefits of the cahoon palm nuts somewhere and thats the reason why he let little BLDV go on the show? Twice as much burning power as coconut oil!
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9500E0DC153AE033A25755C0A9679C94689FD7CF
Remember WWII when the Germans entered Russia on horses, it was because their military ran out of fuel for running tanks, thats what caused them to lose the war and freeze when the Russians Generals January of winter did them in. Now think of how quickly the US captured IRAQ, with their tanks jumping right over the blockades that the elite guards Saddam had assembled. Think a higher energy oil might also help out with that? With USA requirements of a nimbler faster military, high energy sources of fuel will be in high demand. After all the requirements per troop only have rising with each new military hardware developed to multiply a troops effectiveness.
Storming Norman was here asking questions about the government of Belize, the cahoon nut and BLDV. High energy liquid fuel!
Gotta love the market!

Its funny the neg types
What they do is they compare a little play like this to a jewel like OPEC that is fully valued.
Then they trash a little play like this and do more comparisons to anything else they can. But what they havent realized in most cases they pick things that are already fully valued, or need to be developed yet Anyone can pick an Alaskan oil play and wait on bitten nails to see if they even get approval to drill, then if they do get to drill many wells turn into dusters. Anyone can pick a Ghwahar oil well, but comparing the wealth of the world to a penny play is ludicris. Buy that well at full price if you want, but the treasure in penny play BLDV is where you can make a profit investing. imo. They pick a diamond and try to not make you look at BLDV a nice rock that will also polish up as a gem, at a fraction of the price.
We can talk camels too or sandels, I have been to Egypt myself, I know all too well that market area as well and how the USA is viewed.
The reality you negative folks out there, is every year those palm nuts are growing and falling off the vine. It doesnt take a raping of the environment, it doesnt take a country that doesnt want us there to produce more. Belize wants the jobs and has the oil from the tree nuts to supply in a yearly cycle that harms no one.
Thats why everything is good and the negs are here trying to get you to sell, cause they shorted and they need, they really need and require you to sell, so they can prosper.
Look at that shorter pain!
Whoa HA HA HA!
Ever watch the movie the good Shepard?
In there is a good quote about Russia how a Russian spy says that Russia is not a threat to the Americans, because its all a lie, the machinery and war machine is just paint covering rust.
Well now Russia is booming controlling its supplies of oil and NG and its the Americans who are not a threat while their military might is covered in an empty tank of supplies.
Alaska has oil, but just like the strategic oil supply, the US could suck it down quickly if it had nothing else to rely on. And in that statement is your answer, the US quite frankly needs other countries to continue to supply them in oils which they use as a mechanical increase in production and leverage.
The USA doesnt want to tap Alaska, its not in their best interests. It is better left as a rook or a knight on their chessboard while they continue to fleece other countries of their oil wealth since they have tapped most conventional supplies already.
It makes sense for the US to support Belize, an English democratic nation against growing communistic Chavez control. So BLDV is in the right place and at the right time in a market that is only 200 miles away from the US border.
Very smart BLDV management!
You havent done any DD
Oil is now $130 a barrel
Take a good look at the historical prices of oil. If its such a good deal, why is the prices increasing so rapidly as of late?
Higher oil prices mean that natural market forces start to find cheaper sources and thats what is happening right now with BLDV. The market is starting to move into alternative energy, because oil cant keep prices down.
The oil companies have failed and the race is now on to find other supplies.
http://www.economagic.com/em-cgi/data.exe/var/west-texas-crude-long
Look at the last few years, with the rapid price increase in oil. Its that failure of oil to keep a steady slower price increase which is forcing the market to find other rational supplies of oil and BLDV has found that in the cahoon palm nuts.
It will help out Belize, the US and BLDV immensely.
Jasonswiffer more oil co. needed
to invest and support projects like BLDV
Chevron is in there now working with Texas A&M and I suspect they have to pay carbon tax credits someplace, so might as well start investing in various carbon sinks like BLDV's cahoon/cahune palm nut belizian rain forest operation. Good for BLDV and also good for Chevron like other major oil plays that are getting squeezed out of many areas of the world like Russia, Chavezland and elsewhere. At least here with Belize we have a naturally occurring and yearly replenishing supply of oil to tap, thats a pretty good prospect for any viable oil venture.
Your swifferette ideas on US oil supplies are sadly lacking. In texas they get a brown oil stained water in many areas its in such a sad state of decline. Texas sees the writing on the wall and they know they need to diversify, thats why they probably invested in Texas A&M years ago to build that "growing" university, cause they knew the oil wouldn't last.
If the USA relied solely on Alaska and turned off every green law preventing them to drill, they would suck Alaska dry in 3 years and be right back in the same problem, only this time the USA wouldnt even have a threat of oil production to use to help lower oil prices while it continues to buy from their OPEC strained relations.
Your on the wrong board pumping your oil plays, many have such oil play investments but we dont talk about them on the BLDV board. Kindly show some respect.
Kyoto cash credits for BLDV?
Yeah I never really considered the impact of having a government behind us to support us, but the reality is it could be huge. Governments have access to money and Chevron is also working with Texas A&M, just like BLDV. You know, it maybe possible that BLDV wont even need to reverse merge.
I wouldnt put all my eggs into that basket of thinking. After all paying the Belize people a small amount for collecting and gathering Cahoon Palms/Cahune Palms, would probably turn out to be just as popular as fur trappers were in North America.
That or I have also seen how a tree shaker rattles off hazlenuts in California. Having a portable shaker go tree to tree would really help in the collection of those duck egg sized nuts of oil. FRankly the amount of oil produced while not satisfying the world, is still definately a great business venture and worthy of BLDV heading into higher valuations. After all we know the trees already produce and we know the government who owns 80% of the rain forest supports BLDV in its venture.
So, compared to conventional oil, we have a proven reserve of oil producing every year, we only need to collect the cahoon nuts and employ the Belizian people, a win win situation.
Now the other aspect of BLDV which is equally impressive, is those trees are already GROWN! BLDV doesnt need to wait for multiple years like other bio-fuel plays for Jatropha plants or other to grow. BLDV has a rain forest of the best oil in the world, burns twice as long as coconut oil!
Now in other parts of the world where they are cutting down rain forest at alarming rates, destroying the fragile topsoil and wrecking the natural water cycle of a rain forest and "world lungs" by cutting down trees, BLDV has a solution that keeps the rain forest in balance and the trees there. BLDV will likely be paid by other corporations for GREEN TAX credits. YES!, the fact is saving the rain forest is equal to a tax bonus payout every year by the world and the Kyoto agreement!
BLDV has a funding source right there, so I'm not convinced that it needs to reverse merge in order to survive. That video mentioning the cahoon/cahune nuts changed that for me.

BLDV investors are smart/patient
We know there are many irons in the fire
with no need to constantly support the price loading on up.
Like finding a back door to Fort Knox, we know the gold bars are there for the taking, but carry too many and the load will be unmanageable.
If you do the mm's will make you walk through the desert with them, till you get tired and sell for some moisture on your lips. Carry too much and you will drop all those gold bars on a low, when the buzzards are pecking at your brains and your starting to go insane.
Better to hold a strong good CORE position LONG
CASH to really hurt the SOB's with buckshot on lows, with a pow-da-keg for causing damage to them. Holding onto those GOLD bars you can safely carry, makes the whole LONG group stronger!
Never ask for the LONGS to max themselves out smacking the bid just to make green. We will all see more GREEN when we work as a solid TEAM!

Good show! Jatropha curcas (JC) or Physic nut! BLDV is doing tthat watch the video!
In the video they mention the cahoon/cahune nuts and something called a tetropha (spelling) nuts, but just like anything else spanish jalepeno sounds like halapeno, so tetropha (spelling), is actually the Jatropha curcas (JC) or Physic nut!

PH of oceans changing!
I remember I was taught in school that you couldnt effect the ocean cause it was too big. They used to dump radiation in there as a safe place, then they found out the radiation lingered in the area.
But changing PH of ocean is significant. Thats everything, thats all! You cant just easily fix that and some bloke on here was saying we would just crack sea water, hello, have you any idea of the energy needed to make hydrogen?
Bldv with the cahoon nuts keeping the rainforests clean and in check to help our environment out is a much better solution. Keep the rain forests lungs working, still providing us with a natural fuel source.
It cant get any better then that. Renewable and helps combat problems that are really beginning to be major issues.

BLDV has figured it all out! We dont need to cut down trees, to burn or make land for cows, we got goats and cahoone oil! No clearing of land and keeping nature in check and balance.
When the green guys and gals find out about BLDV it will spread faster then the expensive sacks of environmentally grown coffee you see in a Starbucks! The green guys are going to eat this up, sending the RedBulls into a feeding frenzy!

Definitely 4 bunches on that tree. So I guess my 5 to 10 billion should be 20 to 40 bill liters of oil a year?
brudiver, thanks for pointing out the mistake in my calculations.
It should be up to 1000 nuts per branch.
My calculations used 1000 nuts per tree!
My God this is going to be huge!
