call it speculation or whatever, but to me Tianwei is merely a placeholder for Tianwei
This isn't the same school spirit as here in US for your Alma Matter.. in China its like a really big deal. Most of these technologies are coming from that Universities brightest.
So I would say given their "potential" resources, I do believe they are "Big enough".
I just think James has to "prove" himself to someone maybe?
all imo
highly speculative
$SSOL is gonna be hot during the summer, Gas prices always go up which drives more people towards Solar-- which is getting cheaper and cheaper!
As you can see by the share count devil dog (more like a timeless reference =), I havn't really put all my eggs into SKGO's basket yet. Mainly because I have been seeing what your angle is.. I trust Marines, was attached to several marine groups during my deployments and you guys don't BS.
That being said I think I am starting to see your point about SKGO, but I don't know whether you bash the company as a continued service to the American people.. in this case the investor.. or is it you got burned by SKGO..
if its the former I would love to help root out all the BS from the market with ya =)
Cannabis not only cures cancer.. it cures all this other stuff too. If you don't trust "Cannabis" then go invest in something else.. I am diversified in this entire sector.. why cus "one day" there won't be a stupid group of numbskulls holding the nation hostage.

What I don't get, and maybe you can clarify this for me devil dog... (marine1 sorry I like to call marines dd's.. its an army thing)
I totally get your spiel on dilution here, but we can assume it has not begun yet.. I don't see nearly 1/4th the volume of companies with dilution going on. Yeah we had like 1 or 2 days of trading last week with 10 figure volume, but after that its been pretty "meh" at best.
I do not think there is dilution here, I do think something fishing has gone on here.. but its not dilution, or else there would be shares flying everywhere.
I am going to call IR and try to get a sharecount
BTW note the article said they needed contracts and investment bankers..
well they got the contracts
and now they got the investment bankes
check and double check
Now they need to follow up with some expansion.
Posting this again for anyone with doubts about SSOL, this article was published prior to the PPS jump that took it from subpenny to penny. I am posting it in its entirety and as you can see its not a "hype" about the company.. but it does give some backround on the CEO and his ties to Boading Tianwei etc.

A Solar Penny Stock Worth Watching?
Dana Blankenhorn
As a rule "penny stocks," public companies routinely selling for less than $1 a share, and sometimes just a few pennies, make me nervous.
While the intent is laudable – to give small investors a chance to bet on long shots just like the boys on Sand Hill Road – the result has always looked like a rigged casino.
Because of its low capitalization and small float it's easy to “pump and dump” a penny stock, boosting its value with some publicity, then selling it short. And if the deal were worthwhile, why isn't the smart money in there already?
Needless to say I would never buy one.
Over the holidays I spied a release about Sunvalley Solar, a California company that says it has filed a patent application covering what it calls a more efficient solar cell design.
“Because of an array of nanostructures with space varying periodicity and orientation, the Sunvalley patented solar cell is less affected by the spectral wavelength, angle, and/or polarization of the incident light,” the release said.
Pretty opaque. But it seems to mean that the structures in this cell face in different directions, allowing a cell to be efficient on a wide variety of solar angles. Cool.
So I did some research on Sunvalley and found they're a penny stock, trading over the counter under the ticker symbol SSOL.OB. (Not just a penny stock, but its shares currently sell for about four-tenths of a penny each.) Got my "spidey sense" tingling. I decided to look at it some more.
The Web site features a highly-educated collection of Chinese-Americans, most with degrees from Beijing University or Tsinghua University. In Chinese these can translate as Harvard and Yale, or Cal and Stanford. But you can be robbed by someone from Stanford as easily as one from Texas A&M in Kingsville. (Go Javelinas.)
Sunvalley also has a manufacturing deal with Baoding Tianwei Solar Films, southwest of Beijing. Tianwei is tied-in with Tsinghua University with an educational program and Sunvalley CEO Zhijiang “James” Zhang is a Tsinghua alumnus.(edited to make this bold)
So it's real on the front end. What about the back?
CEO Zhang says he needs large-scale manufacturing to proceed with his Green Farm Solar Investment Program in the Imperial Valley of California. The idea is to use government incentives to help finance thin-film development on land owned by date producers like Seaview Packing and Leja Farms, who aren't using all their sunlight.
Real on the back end. Sort of.
Zhang believes thin film is better for these desert locations than crystalline panels, even though they are less efficient. The patent allows his panels to maintain this efficiency while remaining stationary in a field surrounded by plants.
That's his story. Anyone buying?
It seems like Sunvalley has a business model, waiting customers, it has what seems like a new technology and a legitimate manufacturing partner lined up. I would still call it a long shot -- if its prospects were really that great it would have investment bankers crawling all over it.
As best as I can determine, Sunvalley decided to take itself public by buying-out an Edmonton-based outfit called Western Ridge Minerals in a reverse merger. This could let it raise capital while directors retained control. With 800 million shares it has a market cap of about $3.7 million.
It could still be a scam. Heavy promotion caused the stock's value to rise in September, then it tanked again. Words like "shady" were used in describing it around Thanksgiving.
Some things that look like scams are. But some aren't. Which do you think this is?

NBRI + Volume = WIN
This stock will trample through walls with some volume.
Watch!!
Guys, you gotta wait for this financing to be done.. I think the closing PPS today will determine what Auctus gets the shares for. The higher the stock price, the better for us.. and remember, whatever price is established will be the "base". Stock won't go much lower than what the financiers are paying for it.. simply because it wouldn't be a solid investment for them.
Expect some really good news next week if the financing goes through. I am pretty sure they will immediately take that money and put it towards expansion.
Oh and to anyone who thinks there might be dilution coming, the bottom line is if they wanted to make money that way they could have just dumped their own shares into the market as the board owns a large chunk of shares. This is simply put a good financing deal ahead of some news.. =)
All imo
$SSOL I can guarantee that at those prices they will slaughter the panel market. When I asked my roofer how much for solar panels here in Florida they told me ~2.00 a watt.. they were excited to pay 1.00 a watt when I told them about Sunvalley! Now at .70 a watt.. its a no brainer for many companies..
SSOL is a game of patience btw, I don't expect anything big until the Summer when Oil prices surge and Alt Fuels get back in the limelight. We just need one or all these to happen:
A. Increase volume (If financing is used for an awareness campaign we will get this soon)
B. Out of state contract (will show SSOL is serious about expanding)
C. More collaboration with Boading Tianwei
D. Increased distribution, installation is good.. but the real money is in having the market cornered on products like the "Asi Thin" panels from Tianwei
E. More longs who think this company is savvy enough to blow up in the Solar sector
All imo
SSOL, The short awnser to whats going on right now (for those who don't know):
SSOL was seeking financing early this year with Auctus.. the stipulation was that they would sell Auctus ~106m in shares in exchange for financing. Something happened and the deal did not go through at the time it was supposed to be for .013.
Keep in mind that Auctus will not "dump" these shares for less than what they are paying for them (Although they are getting them at a discount, it still would not make sense).
So SSOL stock rises on their contract news, but SSOL want's to expand its business according to their last 10k which requires financing -especially if you are going to expand outside of California.
This is why the deal is back on the table, but this time we are looking at a lower PPS. We *need* this financing to go through as a good deal.. 106m is not a lot if Auctus does decide to dump immediately, but I think this deal is happening in advance of some SSOL announcement.
So were like what 2 days from the 5 day period? At that time the PPS will be what they go off to determine what Auctus will pay.. for example at .01 I believe Auctus will pay .0093 per share.
We could get burned here don't get me wrong, SSOL made sure to make that clear in their form submission.. however I don't think their angle is for this PPS to be low, they will put the funds to good use and hopefully get some more projects rolling.
Thursday will be a very important day!!
All IMO, nothing I have noted about should be used to make an investment decision.
NBRI .106 Last call before the next leg up, Junior Mining co. with lots of potential: Gold, Silver, Etc.. at a value discount.
that and I don't think NBRI is going to waste money on "stock marketing" campaigns like most other pinks.. so its up to "US" the shareholders to tell others about what a real monster this stock is!
Hey Bruce you should "Spruce" up the ibox for newcomers =)
Still here, waiting on some expansion news if this financing deal goes through. I am debating whether or not to slap the ask on thursday to keep the pps up over .012
Considering Lithium doesn't need to remain active (no need to run hot) it would seem Lithium has a pretty strong advantage over other alternatives.. so unless there is some tech breakthrough, I don't see lithium drawing back anytime soon.
I am researching that now,
looking at Zebra manual ( i'll mail that link to anyone who can't google it.. I don't really want to bring up other companies.. just that molten salt batteries are cheaper) and this article on molten batteries being cheaper:
http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/low-temperature-molten-salt-battery-ten.html
will be looking for some peer reviewed stuff next
So I have been thinking about Lithium lately, especially after Jesse Ventura went on Piers Morgan and began talking about the U.S. role in Lithium claims.
I really wan't to try and figure out why we gotta go to Chile to mine a limited supply energy source.. seems kinda retarded to me in a way.. why can't we make a battery that doesn't require a special and/or rare commodity to run!
So I began googling/wikipedia until I found this article
Molten Salt batteries
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery
(( just some food for thought if anyone else is feeling the same about lithium.
sorry if this offends anybody, I am just trying to find some answers with the madness on MMTE and other Lithium stocks. ))
----------------------------------------------------------- c/p
As per Wikipedia:
The ZEBRA battery operates at 245 °C (473 °F) and utilizes molten sodium aluminumchloride (NaAlCl4), which has a melting point of 157 °C (315 °F), as the electrolyte. The negative electrode is molten sodium. The positive electrode is nickel in the discharged state and nickel chloride in the charged state. Because nickel and nickel chloride are nearly insoluble in neutral and basic melts, intimate contact is allowed, providing little resistance to charge transfer. Since both NaAlCl4 and Na are liquid at the operating temperature, a sodium-conducting ß-alumina ceramic is used to separate the liquid sodium from the molten NaAlCl4. This battery was invented in 1985 by the Zeolite Battery Research Africa Project (ZEBRA) group led by Dr. Johan Coetzer at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in Pretoria, South Africa, hence the name ZEBRA battery. In 2009, the battery had been under development for more than 20 years. The technical name for the battery is Na-NiCl2 battery.
The ZEBRA battery has an attractive specific energy and power (90 Wh/kg and 150 W/kg). For comparison, LiFePO4 lithium iron phosphate batteries store 90–110 Wh/kg and the more common LiCoO2 lithium ion batteries store 150–200 Wh/kg. Nano Lithium-Titanate Batteries store energy and power of (116 Wh & 72 Wh/kg) and (1,250 W & 760 W/kg).[3] The ZEBRA's liquid electrolyte freezes at 157 °C (315 °F), and the normal operating temperature range is 270 °C (518 °F) to 350 °C (662 °F). The ß-alumina solid electrolyte that has been developed for this system is very stable, both to sodium metal and the sodium aluminumchloride. The primary elements used in the manufacture of ZEBRA batteries, Na, Cl and Al have much higher worldwide reserves and annual production than the Li used in Li-ion batteries.[4] Lifetimes of over 1500 cycles and five years have been demonstrated with full-sized batteries, and over 3000 cycles and eight years with 10- and 20-cell modules. Vehicles powered by ZEBRA batteries have covered more than 2 million km. Modec Electric Van uses ZEBRA batteries for the 2007 model. The Th!nk City also uses ZEBRA batteries.[5]
When not in use, ZEBRA batteries are typically left under charge so that they will remain molten and be ready for use when needed. If shut down and allowed to solidify, a reheating process must be initiated that may require up to two days to restore the battery pack to the desired temperature and impart a full charge. This reheating time varies depending on the state-of-charge of the batteries at the time of their shut down, battery-pack temperature, and power available for reheating. After a full shut down of the battery pack, three to four days will usually elapse before a fully-charged battery pack loses enough energy to cool and solidify.[citation needed]

all imo do your own DD..
LOL yeah you did say that, but NBRI is a beast bro it doesn't deserve that kind of treatment. I don't think i'm cashing in this one anytime soon.. and I jumped aboard when you called at like .03!!!
GOGO NBRI
Yo thats pretty serious news.. Busch Gardens is going to be a HUGE buyer.. come to think of it every theme park in Orlando could use the stuff (Textraw). Nice little money maker for SKGO
SKGO Kick this pig up a couple more ticks so we can see it fly
BruceGorman tell me again why I need to be tough and hold my NBRI while these people come and try to shake them out of my hand.. tell me bruce!!
SKGO can't move because no one wants to miss the boat so they keep backing it up to load shares and flip for more money.. and therefore more shares. Sad truth really, but you won't see this thing move unless the company proposes a buyback or something
SKGO looks to be gearing up for a huge run, PPS has held a nice base of .0005 for the past few month's. Don't miss the boat "player"..
all imo
Monster run coming for SKGO, looking for .005 by wed next week.. .001 tomorrow close. Textraw is alone is worth more than the current pps -imo
btw at 1.40 a watt, installers in South Florida would jump aboard.. I spoke with a gentleman from a roofing co. who said the reason the Solar Market hasn't taken off is because of the ppw.. if they can really make a cheaper and more efficient product the sky is the limit really.
I think we should really put this on the ibox, its the best part of the 10q c/p

Expansion of Installation Business
We are planning to expand our installation business from Southern California to Northern California, Arizona or other states in two to three years. We will continue to execute our marketing and sales strategy in Southern California and, with additional capital, will be able to expand our business to cover Northern California, Arizona or other states. The planned expansion is expected to occur through acquiring smaller installation companies in these regions and/or through the establishment of subsidiaries in these states and boost our installation profits. Our current intention is to establish two new offices located in Northern California or other states and in San Diego. The estimated start-up cost for each new branch would be approximately $500,000.
If we are able to expand our installation business, it will assist us in gaining favorable terms from OEM international manufacturers of our planned solar panel manufacturing operation. In addition, an expanded installation business would allow us to accelerate the introduction of our new technologies and solar parts and would generate additional revenue to fund initial investment in our planned Roof-top Power Plant (RDPP) business and to further fund our investments in R&D.
Commercialization of Research and Development
Prior to initiating our planned OEM manufacturing of Sunvalley-branded solar panels, we will need to commercialize our advanced panel technology through the design, fabrication, and characterization of a prototype solar cell. The total expense for planned commercialization of our research and development will be approximately $500,000. The necessary equipment and facilities will be accessed from University of California, San Diego. The Nano3 clean room facilities in the school of Engineering at UCSD are equipped with state-of-the-art micro and nano fabrication equipment and facilities, and can be accessed by outside users with a $107 hourly fee.
The interference pattern that will be recorded in the solar cells will be obtained using an Argon laser operating at 362nm. This laser and its associated equipment is available to us through a special arrangement with the administration office in the University of California, San Diego, as well as the Ultrafast and Nano-scale Optics lab in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in UCSD.
Other equipment will also be required, including coating machine for PV panel testing.

Initiate OEM Manufacturing of Solar Panels
By leveraging our solar panel installation business and R&D, we plan to procure OEM solar panels from selected Chinese manufacturers and to market them in the U.S. under our own brand name. We will be responsible for R&D, quality control, customer service, sales and marketing activities, as well as panel certification in U.S.
The estimated OEM panel cost is less than $1.40 per watt. As a reference, currently, the lowest panel price is around $1.80 per watt (Mono-crystalline, Polycrystalline). We can use our own sale and installation platform to showcase the new panels and drive sales of the new panels in the U.S market. Meanwhile, we will continue our R&D effort on panel coating and other advanced technologies and apply the results to its panel manufacturing business. The goal will be to further improve the efficiency, lower the cost of solar panels with our proprietary technologies, and to grow our market share.
Our marketing strategy for our planned OEM solar panels is as follows:
·
Set-up a platform to showcase our innovative solar panel technologies and make Sunvalley solar panels a household name.
Unlike other merchandise, solar panel is very unique in that it requires very high level of quality assurance and customer satisfaction. Providing satisfactory customer service and technical support is absolutely vital in solar panel sales. As the first step, we will strive to make our brand a household name. Our solar panel will be used by our installation business as well as several other installation companies with which we have partnership. A marketing campaign aimed at other solar installation companies will help to achieve this goal. We plan to use our own installation business as the platform to showcase the product quality and build up consumer awareness of its brand.
·
Penetrate into the main stream distribution network
By leveraging early successes and customer trust earned from our initial installations, we plan to penetrate into the mainstream distribution network with our OEM solar panels.

Further sale activities
Once our brand name solar panels become well known, our sales team will begin an aggressive marketing campaign to connect the individual sales points (distributors and venders) to form a distribution network. The marketing campaigns will also include attending trade shows, advertising in the media (TV commercials and newspaper advertisement) and designating local representatives to boost the market share and brand awareness.
·
Offer a low cost, high efficiency solar panel derived from advanced research
To boost our solar panel market share, our R&D team will work with our OEM partner to apply selective coating technique and other cutting edge technologies to further reduce the manufacturing cost and improve the panel efficiency.
The total capital required to initiate our planned panel manufacturing business would be approximately $2,000,000 which can be categorized into three parts:
·
Registration and Certification of OEM panels with our brand – $300,000, including UL certification fees, CEC registration fees, and lab testing fees.
·
Initial Inventory – $1,500,000. We will need to keep at least 4 containers of PV panels in the warehouse in order to support sales of 5~10M watts per year, which means we will need to have over $1,000,000 in inventory for PV panels only. An additional $300,000 in inventory would be needed in order to keep the requisite amount of inverters and racking and panel cleaning systems. In addition, we anticipate providing variable payment terms to different customers based on their creditworthiness; this will add additional cash flow pressure.

OEM Management costs – $200,000
No way SSOL will trade higher, if you have L2 you can see what took place this morning and it was obvious someone walked it down and walked it all the way back to .013 buying lots of 100.
well we know for sure whoever bought all those shares this morning will not exit out at the current PPS.. they will want at a minimum .02 before they exit and possibly more depending on their motivation to jump on SSOL
thats imo though..
back to this mornings price lol.. someone loaded a good amount of shares, i'll try to get the L2 numbers up
mostly buys going out, hard to tell cus someone is firing off 100 buys now..
pretty much all buys on L2.. especially when the ask came down this morning
They are loading the boat.. check out the volume so far.. SSOL
Yessir SSOL closed nice and green =) .0134
Wow #1
last trade was for 100, the loading is gonna begin.. we should watch the volume closely tomorrow.
Breakout is imminent, I am feeling really good about SSOL atm
Sigh.. with this stock its not about the PPS.. look at the PR they put out today, that kind of stuff creates waves that will not be stopped once they get going.
Marijuana legalization is around the corner, CBIS and other sector stocks have done more for this to happen than anyone else. These PR's while prob designed to raise shareholder awareness, also raises awareness in those connected to the shareholder and so on.
love it
SSOL While other companies talk, SSOL has been putting up panels and expanding its business.
those .014's will seem real cheap next week. Breakout imminent!

SSOL at .014 is going to seem really cheap next week. Friggin anything under .02 is a free ride at this point.
I see a herd of bulls coming this way.
Gonna be a nice easter
seriously GLTA and Grats I really think were gonna score here =)
