Incredible evening. I'm amazed at 18 PR's. I too wonder why, if he's having to pay money for each PR, they couldn't have been grouped into fewer releases. It seems like the announcements of the P2O groups could all have been grouped.
Regardless a whole lot of good news released. Congrats to you guys on now on the board.
Tuesday should be amazing.
Yet MORE NEWS!

Wow...Ameritrades thinktda program won't do that until we uplist off the OTC.
Well my piddly little buy of 311 shares just went through. It took me forever this morning trying to find a price it would execute at. I was hoping we might see a drop today down closer to 5 but finally I gave up.
Supremely confident that by Tuesday (or even close of day) I'll see a nice gain on these shares. Sadly my average price rose to almost 1.5.
Indeed. I would wager that where we are at is huge.
I still think we'll get a PR before the CC. If not then what will he be talking about? I guess discussing a working P2O machine and giving us numbers from the machine wouldn't require a PR.
I'm a little curious at this post from FB a few minutes ago:
John Bordynuik This call will be rather informal. It will address what we've done, where we are going and where we are at. I'll have my desktop up to use a couple of small stacks to assist. Computer is not critical and it will be recorded anyway.

That doesn't sound like the big media event where 'bragging rights' will be established. However I think we'll get a good update that will have a positive effect on PPS. More than just PPS we'll see the company moving forward which is what we all really want.
The thing is, if he doesn't release a PR then he won't be able to talk about very much that hasn't already been mentioned and discussed.
I may be wrong but it seems like most of the news to come is material and would require a PR before being able to be discussed.
Good point. In that case we actually gained from the loss.
Though I will admit all the posting kept us on the top 15 list for days.
I guess only someone who was scamming everyone and stood to make a killing if everything tanked.
Luckily I think it's bee proven, logically at least, that JB is not that guy. I think he plans on having one heck of a honeymoon secure in the knowledge that his company is on the right track. The next 48 hours will be interesting.
-Incidentally we've lost 2 boardmarks. 306 now.
I would think a tv screen could be put anywhere on just about anything! It's figuring out a way to get video playing on it without making the machine look crappy that will be the hard part.
That being said I'm sure you could modify the machine to include the screen. Then you can sell advertisement space.
I agree tech. I also think that this conference is primarily for P2O and anything else we hear about will be icing on the cake. Any time I've asked the company for a progress report (over the past two months) on the big processor we've been waiting on so long they have always responded: "Wait for the media event that should come in Feb. It is going to be great."
Not long to wait now.
Doesn't a wire incur a fee from either the bank or the broker?
The only ones that I've read about using pak-it tech under their patent (and therefore paying royalties) were the Dropps people.
I must have missed the other ones you mentioned. Could you help us non-searching people (yeah I know...we should pay the subscription fee) and show us where the other posts are?
I'm not sure if the slow ramp up is due to cash flow or just it being a new machine. I think it's prudent to take it slowly...should give them time to get production issues taken care of quickly and make the process as efficient as possible.
I agree, it is smart business to announce only once the deal is completed and a timeline is agreed upon.
If they were to wait until they were able to deliver to all walmarts then we will be waiting for a very long time. They have to slowly ramp up production on the new model so it will be over a year before they could supply a machine to each walmart location.
Whether it is walmart, or blockbuster kiosks, or some other location - news is required to get this pps moving up. Not news of being covered by a stock picking group but news of a deal. I do see the value, as others have pointed out, of having as many eyes on this stock as possible.
Yes, why does the company waste time putting this out? Maybe it truly isn't a 'waste' but when we've been waiting for real news for a long time it sure feels like it.
I want to see news about deals or finances...not them telling us who is covering their stock. Mega Stock Picks can do that.
I know they didn't but it isn't usually free to release a PR.
And I guess I don't think this type of PR is pointless it's just that we've been expecting real news for a long time so to have the company use time to put a PR saying that they are being covered by a stock picking group just doesn't seem worth it to me.
Thanks for the link.
Why does the company need to waste time/money putting out a PR about this? I fail to see the point.
If there is news then copy and post it. Or post a link.
If there isn't news don't say that there is.
No worries. My other shares hope you are right.
Never had a problem with ameriturd...except for their 3 day wait policy on buying 'non-marginable securities.'
I plan to buy more on Friday...here's hoping we're still in the 5's.
The problem is most everything you declare to be DD is actually just your opinion. Real DD is facts. Facts that can be verified through filings and other news reports. Facts that are verified through 3rd party agencies and facts that are verified by time.
All you have are your opinions. In some cases all we have are our opinions but we don't go stating they are fact.
I know JB has stated before he doesn't like spending the $1000 to put out a PR so my guess would be that he goes for option 3 (which is what he did back in late Dec.) and releases one monster PR with tons of info.
Any way you slice it longs win.
Sadly I'm just a poor young guy. I had no choice but to flip this thing to get to X thousand shares. I wish I had triple what I have but right before I got some extra money this thing ran up here to $5. I'll keep adding a few more as long as we're under $10 and the CC shows good stuff because, like most here, I think we're going way higher.
I got in at .26 and flipped it a few times as it went between .26 and $1. I did this to raise money to buy more shares.
All in at $1.10 and don't plan on doing anything for at least another $15 of share price.
One week till the CC and answers!
Every once in a while something presents itself that to some is simply 'too good to be true.' JBI is one such thing, I believe.
1. Green company - reducing plastic waste and reducing the amount of oil that needs to get sucked out of the earth
2. DEBT Free
3. Fully reporting
4. CEO that executes
And the list goes on and on (see sticky post). I hope that the CC and the PR's released before hand help clarify just how amazing JBI is and will become but for some it will always be, to some, a pipe dream.
Definitely not going anywhere. Been jabbering at anyone who would listen to me to jump on board (since about $1).
On a side note does anyone remember if the contract with Heddle was a LOI to work together or a done deal? It'll be great once Heddle starts posting project updates/pictures on their site like they do for their other projects.
Likewise. The days volume shows as 35859 but in another part of the program it shows 32600 traded at 5.44 and 20400 at 5.35 (not to mention all the other prices shares have traded at today.
Just weird, that's all.
Am I the only one that is impatient for the update? I think I'll have to stay away from the computer until Saturday.
Very bizarre. I'm using tdameritrades 'thinkorswim' program and it shows the days volume at 30,859 but it also has over 32000 traded at 5.44..not to mention all the other trades.
I'm getting tired of seeing two MM's hold at 5.5. Looking forward to some kicka$$ PR's over the next week.
Oh...well he hasn't been successful at all. (obviously sarcastic)
Interesting? Maybe. Relevant to his ability to do the job? Probably not.
To insinuate that because of a past problem a professional cannot do good work is absolutely absurd. Let's give the guy a break. At least when he had a problem he went and got treatment for it and apparently turned things around...enough so that Florida reinstated him.
I have no idea who this is. The real Napoleon Dynamite maybe?
At the end: "Someone has to take on this problem"
A great entry line for a JBI commercial showing one of their ships out in the patch. Hopefully we'll see this happen not just for the publicity but because it's the right thing to do.
Thanks EP, this is what I was remembering.
We've talked about, well speculated about, JB moving to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. I think it was agreed that while not terribly profitable it would be one heck of a PR move.
I think JB has even mentioned the Patch....maybe in a FB statement.
Aw come on! I just wasted 5 minutes finding that!
Hey JJ I found the article in 5 minutes using the all powerful Google. You will have to pay for it though.
Happy hunting.
EDIT: And it only costs $3.95!
299.
I think you'll make your prediction.
all work and no play, eh?
(not intending to offend any canadians with the inappropriate use of "eh")
Pretty good reply I think.
