Fellow investors
It is obvious there is a huge naked short position out on PBLS. It is guaranteed that any outfit who has shorted as many shares as have been shorted these last few months would obviously hire paid bashers. I personally expect the bashers and negative posts to increase over the next few weeks and months. The shorts have a staggering amount of shares to cover and will try to do it anyway they can. They will try very hard to misinform shareholders in order for them to sell.
Most of the time or I should say 99 out of on 100 times the shorts win. It is clear to me that they are taking very high risk in continuing to short at these prices. Usually they go after companies that are under funded and have debt, and who need to raise equity financing to continue as a going concern. They usually sniff them out when they start shopping around Wall Street looking for financing. The same people they talk to either short them themselves or tip off other people to do so.
It is very clear to me that this is not a usual situation. This company has no debt, is growing tremendously in sales, and is expecting to earn a nice net profit for the year.
I was talking to a senior level management person at Sedona Corporation the other day. For people who don't know who this is, they are involved in a very large lawsuit against many parties that were involved in naked shorting their stock. Their stock got pounded into oblivion back a few years ago. They have a very well respected law firm out of Houston, Texas who are the same people who brought down big tobacco. This firm has already spent over 20 million on this case and has a team of over 40 lawyers working on it. The lawsuit is in the billions and is very far through the court system. He was not able to discuss the specifics in his case but we did have a lengthy discussion about naked shorting in regards to all aspects of it. I told this person about PBLS and how they already announced that they expect to have a very good year. I told him about all the specifics of PBLS. How they are in a buyback program. How they bought back shares from shareholders at three cents. How they publicly announced they feel their stock is severely undervalued. He said the you cannot get a better scenario for a potential short squeeze than a company who can put out audited financials and who show a healthy profit. I told him that I heard that if a short squeeze were to occur that this stock could go to over 20 dollars. He said that it would be very possible if this company has as many shares shorted as I alluded to that this could potentially happen. I estimate there are 600 million shares shorted at this point. I know that there are very few sellers below three cents and that 45% of the volume is the short position being taken each day. I asked him how this could possibly be that a stock could go so far beyond its reasonable value without a lot of sellers coming in and allowing the shorts to cover. He explained that when a true short squeeze is on, many institutional investors will jump in knowing that cover has to happen. It is almost guaranteed money. The buying is tremendous whenever a short squeezes is on.
I personally feel the company is honest. They bought back one million shares from me at three cents and the checks cleared. I hope the stock does go down to 3/10 of a penny because if it does I am going to bet the farm on it. I already have taken a sizable position and continue to do so. This company has already announced that it is planning on earning approximately two cents a share. That puts the stock at $.30. To say it is grossly undervalued is actually an understatement. What's the downside 7/10 of a penny, what is the upside, 45 times your money. And that is only if it goes to fair value. That does not even factor in the short squeeze which I am seeing as highly probable.
Good luck to all the Longs in this stock. I hope we have our day of redemption. If it does, it will probably be one of the most exciting things to happen to us in a lifetime.
I am amazed what I've seen these last few weeks.
A company announces a buyback program to its shareholders stating they feel the stock
is very undervalued at current levels. They make an announcement that they will buy up to 100 million shares at three cents a share. It is my understanding that they bought close to 28 million shares back from shareholders. That is $840,000, that is no small piece of change. I personally sold a million shares at three cents to the company. In the meantime I've taken a much larger position. This company is no joke. I personally feel they are a very bunch of hard-working, smart, honest individuals in management. I have spoken to management on a few occasions and have always been very happy with my conversations with the company. I personally have never seen a stock more heavily shorted then Phoenix Associates. The short position out on this company at this present time must be staggering. When the company first announced their buyback program, I heard talk of 200 million shares already naked shorted. The shorts since then have been ruthless. There is no question, there are a lot of very strong supporters in this company. Just look at the message board activity. No one in their right mind has been selling the stock under three cents. I remember days when 90% of the volume was all buys and the stock still went down. The volume every day is huge. The short position keeps growing every day. I would not be surprised if the short position is 600 million shares. I know the company has to follow certain rules in the way they do their buyback program. I think they have allotted a fixed amount of money a week for this program. I get the impression they are buying back approximately 5 million shares a week. I am not sure but that is my best guess. As the company continues their buyback program, that only increases our ownership in the company
I have never personally seen a real true short squeeze. All I can say is if the shorts ever really have to cover, they will send the stock to the moon. The company does not have to rely on their share price to continue as a going concern. They have money in the bank and are already profitable. They are done doing their acquisitions and just plan on growing these divisions. By the first or second quarter of next year, I figure they will have their audited financials out. It makes no sense to me why they would try to short so heavily a company that has so many positive things going for it. Usually they pick on companies who have a lot of debt and are seeking equity financing to continue as a going concern. That is definitely not the case here. I just keep buying at these prices. I know in a few months when the audited results are out, the buying will just be too great to keep this stock price down. At that point, if we have a short squeeze. We will all end up filthy rich. I from talking to professionals in the industry, that if a true short squeeze took place you could see this stock over $18 dollars. I am not banking on it, but what fun it would be. I'm just looking to see this trade at a fair market value between 18 and 25 cents. At 22 cents that is 31 times your money at these prices. And I see this just a few months away. Even if it takes a year or two, who cares. If they continue as a growing company I see even $.50 to a dollar possible.
Good luck to all longs. Keep buying. Keep the faith. And keep in your head how much fun it's going to be when the short squeeze finally comes.
Things are looking really good.
With this most recent run up a lot of weak hands have sold already. The volume has been excellent each day. It tells me we have a lot of new longs coming on board. I expect Monday to be a really good day. Usually stocks that have good things going for them into Friday's close usually rally nicely on Monday. This is one of my larger holdings and I am very excited on which the future brings for this company.
Also thanks a lot IHDR. You've brought a lot of new investors to the plate. Keep up the good work.
I very rarely post on this board.
I for one have done a lot of due diligence on this company.
I've watched the videos and read all the comments of people who have visited company. I spoke to Mike Mullshine in great detail many times about the future possibilities for this company. I have spoken to Ron Blackburn a few times as well as once Dennis Kowalski. I owned a million shares prior to the buyback and cashed out, when the stock price drop below three cents. I mailed to separate certificates at two different time intervals and had no problem being paid for both. This told me the company has cash and is honest when it comes to dealing with its shareholders. I currently have taken a much larger position due to the stock being so low-priced compared to its intrinsic value. The company has already announced they expect revenues to be in the neighborhood of 206 million and expect to earn up to 10%.
I did the math for net profit of 6% and came up with 12,360,000. That is a profit of 1 1/2 cents. Give the stock a PE of 15 and you have 22 1/2 cents a share. That is just for this year. The company I know is firing on all cylinders and I expect the company to grow in 07 and 08 as well. I do think this company has potential of being $.50 to a dollar in the future. To say it's undervalued is an understatement.
I am not thrilled about all the naked shorting that's going on and I don't claim to understand it. But I've seen many companies that have had this problem recently. I see it as a bonus because it has allowed me to buy this stock so much below its fair market value. When the company reports next year there will be too much pressure on the stock to not have it trade closer to its fair market value. I personally think this is a no-brainer. I think the upside is phenomenal and the downside is very little. It might be the best investment I've ever seen in my eight years of trading bulletin board companies and pink sheeted companies. Good luck to all longs.
Let's just pray for that short squeeze. Because if we do get a true short squeeze. We will end up being rich. The amount of shares I estimate being naked shorted are over 400 million. Good luck trying to cover that one boys.
If this short squeeze happens and people don't sell but even by on the way up it could send the stock with over $10.
I am not counting on this of course. But what a beautiful thing it would be if it ever happened.
Why did people wait to sell till today.
All the online gambling stocks fell off a cliff Monday morning.
Excapsa software fell from $55-$12 in five minutes.
That stock traded as high as 110 earlier this year.
What is wrong with people. This is Wednesday. You had all day Monday and Tuesday to sell the stock. You were granted a great gift to have so much time to unload. This stock should have fell sharply Monday morning if people were on the ball who own this stock. I guess some large shareholders figured out today or probably most likely the market maker saw an excellent time to short. Oh well. Come Secom saw.
In regards to Scotttrade Yhey are a joke
I once called the compliance department and complained about my cash balance was off. The guy at that department was being cocky. He told me I would have to go to my monthly statement to figure it out. That they could not tell me what my balance was just the day before. The gentleman was being condescending toward me so I told him I thought he was a jerk. They froze my account and closed it. I think the company is a bunch of freaks.
The fact that they are private they think they can do anything they want. No publicly traded company would ever act that way in regards to a customer. I use currently mytrack and E*TRADE and am very happy with both. Scott trades platforms stinks. Their prices are not good for stocks under a dollar. I think it's a joke company. Do yourself a big favor and move your account to either Ameritrade, Scott trade, or my track.
In regards to internalhydro. This could turn out to be the best investment in a lifetime. I am very excited about what the future holds for this company and of course us the shareholders.
It looks like we broke our 50 day moving average to the upside.
This is very good on a technical analysis basis.
Fundamentally things look great.
High volume. We are on our way.
That article was crap.
Pinks don't move to to the major exchanges.
They move to the otc first.
What a dumb article.
My personal opinion
I spoke to management, and they feel there are between 100 and 250 million shares short in the stock. I think the shorts did everything in their power to weaken the stock. I think they were hoping to get people to sell at very low prices. All they got was a massive amount of buying instead. I think the shorts are in a lot of trouble and we could see a short squeeze potentially in the next few days or weeks that could send the stock skyrocketing. Unfortunately I did not accumulate as many shares as I would like to have had. I personally think this stock is severely undervalued and it is very evident that it has been heavily shorted and from what I can understand the shorts have not been able to cover the way they would have liked. Good luck to all longs. I just hope we get the short squeeze that I think could happen. If we do, God bless us all.
Link to PBLS shorting article
http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/060816/0154821.html
To me it is obvious we are being naked shorted. We are almost at a 52 week low with record volume. This stock with this type of announcement should have at least gone to $.15 or more. What it tells me is the reason why this stock is down so much to begin with is from naked shorting. I do not care what Reg Sho says. I have seen naked shorting in PBLS that blows me away. I do not see them showing up on the Reg Sho list. I wish I watched the level 2 today because usually the largest shorter is UBS/schwab. I guarantee the shorts are going to get their asses kicked on this one. I have done my homework and feel really good about this company going forward. I bought more today at $.11 and will probably accumulate more tomorrow. This company has the potential of being a $10 plus stock in the next three to five years. 10,000 to one million I can handle. Good luck all longs, I think we found a winner.
Welcome to the new board eveyone.
Lets compare notes on the company.
The stock was recomended by a newsletter this morning.
That is why it is up so much.
The newsletter must carry a lot of weight.
It spcializes in alternative energy and health food stocks primarily. The editor is featured on cnbc a fair amount.
I subscibed as of today. 55.00 every quarter
30 day noney back
http://www.greenchipstocks.com/
No this is not a plug. I just happen to buy a lot of micro caps in the alternative energy space. I do well. Any newsletter like this I would subscibe to. Look at WWEN.
I mad a killing on this the last few days. Sold this morning for a 300% gain. Myself and IHDR "IHUB handle" got in at the same time. Check out posts.
Huge volume today
Stocks price is holding up
Should see a run at end of day.
Stock is up 42% today.
Huge volume. Anyone know why?
UBS broke our backs today.
How sad.
UBS broke our backs today.
How sad.
To learn more about this illegal activity follow this link.
It is a phenomenol presentation of the problem.
As more people become aware of this happening the better off we will all be on stopping it.
http://www.businessjive.com/nss/darkside.html
I have ben wathing this stock on level 2 since the open.
We are being naked shorted by UBS.
THey have been sitting on the ask all morning.
It does not matter how many shares trade off at 11 cents.
They will just keep selling. I heard they are the worst at this illegal activity.
1,357,000 shares as of 10.18 AM on the ask at .11
319,000 shares at of 10.18 am on the bid at .105
This stock if it was being traded fairly would have easily already have seen .15 cents.
I hate the fact we have such a corrupt SEC and DTC.
The company as of late really pisses me off.
I have called Craig Huffman at the office number and his cell number know for at least 6 weeks. I never had a hard time reaching him in past when the stock was performing. Now he never answers his cell number and all you can do is leave a message on the office number. No one ever picks up. This company is being so poorly run. I bought a decent position in the 30 cent range and have been buying it down. Probably average 28 cents.
The new IR firm is a joke. Robert over at CLX associates is a moron. He knows squat about the company or what is happening currently. I have spoken to him 3 times know and never has any kind of update or anything. I can't believe the company is dilluting our investment to bring on a cracker jack IR firm such as CLX. I would not be surprised to hear that it is his brother in law or something. I told him that I was not able to reach Craig these last few weeks on his cell or office number. He told me that Craig only responds to shareholders through e-mail. I said it was news to me.
I asked him what Craigs email was and he told me it was private information and he could not furnish it to me. He just gets done telling me that Craig only responds by email
but will not give it to me. He says you can send it to me and I will pass it on. Unbelievable. I have to go through a third party to send an e-mail. You can only imagine how the rest of my conversation with Robert went.
His other IR guy makes dumb seem smart. I could find someone at the local soup kitchen who could do a better job. I am know refering to William Engleman.
No wonder this stock is performing so poorly. They promised us everything and delivered nothing. We should have 600 units in the field by now. We do not even have a proto type built. The don't respond to shareholders and they hire complete morons to handle their IR.
I hate having to post such a negative post. I hold a sizable position. I just hope I can inspire all shareholders who read this to contact management either by e-mail or phone and raise hell on all the lies up to this point and to get strict accountability going forward. I very much want to see my investment go up. If they have the real deal this could be incredible. Please recomend that they sever all relationships with current IR people because it is only dilluting us and hurting us as well.
Email to Craig: chuffman@internalhydro.com
Craig Huffmans cell # 813-495-7608
IHDR office # 713-320-3596
I bought more today.
I feel at these prices, the speculation is worth the risk.
The last press release made me very happy. I worry when a companies share price goes down and the company need to raise capital, we as shareholders get dilluted to death. I do not see this as happening based on most recent press release.
I am proceeding with caution, but am optimistic overall.
This stock could be 10 dollars plus in 2 to 3 years if this works out. I feel the risk is well worth it at these prices.
In regards to hedge funds naked shorting us. That is all speculation. No one knows if that is happening. At these prices I dought anyone would risk shorting.
Under the agreement, with Energia Futura S.r.l. of Italy, IHDR would receive necessary capital for production of its low impact hydro units and other technologies, which will be worth over $3,750,000 for the initial 500 units for domestic U.S. production alone in the first year out production. Under the agreement, IHDR would be part owner of the joint production facility which would have hard assets, including facilities and equipment of a projected $40,000,000 value, which will be bookable assets for IHDR. Financial requirements for the production and other costs related to the technologies will be secured and supplied through European banking and grant entities to the Joint Venture. IHDR will not be subject to any set equity based contribution to achieve financial aspects of the Joint Venture.
I think .035 tomorrow is vey achievable.
If this hits the traders screens with volume I see more than 4 cents by late afternoon or the next day.
I liked what I read.
It looks like we are getting closer each day to fully reporting and a clear vision of companies future potential including past aquisitions anf future aqusitions.
An update telling us we will be updated?
If the company is willing t buy back 3 cents.
It tells you that the company is undervalued.
No company does a buyback on the pinks unless it feels it is very undervalued.

I am disappointed to hear that someone might have beaten us to the Libertad ethanol facility. I am sure it is very political on who gets what. We must not have paid off the right person. With that said I hear they are working on other projects related to ethanol and biodiesel. They have made a lot of inroads in Belize and get the impression talking to people about Blue Diamond is that they have other deals they are working on. As far as I am concerned we will all profit from the The Goat business and the fuel side is just the upside. The fats from the goat processing alone shoud have a nice upside for us when we start to make bio-diesel. I think those who are patient will be well rewarded at these prices. I think we are close to becoming fully reporting. When that happens I see 8 cents and above near term.
The bottom line is this company has a market cap currently at
9,520,000
The outstanding shares is 170 million
Their profit in 05 was 1.2 million
This stock if trading at a pe of just 15 should trade at 10.5 cents
The downside risk is nil.
I expect their goat farming business to grow signifigantly over the next few years.
A pree release from:
Apr 6, 2006 -- Blue Diamond Ventures Inc. (Other OTC:BLDV.PK - News) announced today it plans to build goat processing facilities in Oklahoma and Belize, saying it will aggressively market the world's most eaten meat and its value-added products of milk and cheese throughout the U.S., Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.
ADVERTISEMENT
"This market has been growing at an annual rate of 30 percent since 1990," said Blue Diamond Ventures CEO and President John Quincey Moaning. "Our business model calls for an aggressive approach to secure those awaiting markets and we have spent significant time building a solid infrastructure."
Blue Diamond Ventures will initially produce goat milk and meat. The U.S. currently has a net deficit of goat milk, cheese and other product inventory, with Australia and New Zealand as primary suppliers of the goat meat sold commercially in the U.S. There are more than 460 million goats worldwide presently producing more than 4.5 million tons of milk and 1.2 million tons of meat, mohair, cashmere and leather.
Goat cheese, goat milk ice cream, yogurt and other cultured products have entered mainstream markets and are in high demand. Blue Diamond plans to construct a creamery with a milk processing line that handles milk from receiving and cool storage through pasteurization, cool down and milk-container filling. A state-of-art cheese vat, cheese press and vacuum packaging machine, and a walk-in refrigerator for aging and storing cheese will be added to the creamery, Moaning said. Among the popular flavored cheeses the company plans to make include Cheddar, Colby, Feta, Mozzarella, Gouda and several herb-flavored soft cheeses.
Moaning also sees the untapped pet food industry as a viable market place for goat products. Esbilac, a popular milk replacement for dogs and cats, is now available in a formula made with goat milk, he said.
The second phase of Blue Diamond's goat initiative will be goat-fiber production of mohair and cashmere. Moaning said that the production of cashmere, one of the world's great luxuries, also has enormous income opportunities for the company, explaining that the fiber is quite expensive because of its remarkable softness and warmth.
I missed conferance call.
I can't believe they do not have a play back.
If anyone taped it please email me.
I would like to call you and listen to it.

Aqci keeps going up every day.
I here big things in works.
Companies market cap is currently only 1.5 million.
I like what i see so far.
A lot ouf upside potential if they hit.
Seems worth speculating at these prices.
I am also in AQCI.
An oil and gas play.
Itonly currently has a 1 million dollar market cap.
I get the imprssion from company good things are just around the corner.
I am going to spell it out the way I see it.
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 26, 2006--Franklin Mining, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets:FMNJ - News), through a new subsidiary, Franklin Oil & Gas, Bolivia, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscales Bolivianos (YPFB) for the construction and operation of a gas-to-liquid diesel fuels refinery.
This is the first paragraph of one of their most recent press releases.
Here is the last paragraph of the the press release
Bolivian President Evo Morales Orders Army to Immediately Occupy Natural Gas Fields
Bolivia has South America's second largest natural gas reserves after Venezuela, and all foreign companies must turn over most production control to Bolivia's cash-strapped state-owned oil company, Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscales Bolivianos, Morales said.
We are already working with the Government. This announcement in essence just eliminated a lot of our competition in Bolivia. I think this is huge for us.
It is also my understanding, our CEO of Franklin mining's Great Grandfather was the President of Bolivia. I am sure that bids well for us. Its like being a Bush or Kennedy in the US the way i see it.
News out
Very good news
http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/060501/0126070.html
I bought into this company first on Wednesday.
It looked like it was forming a decent base.
I have been looking for investments in undervalued gold and silver mining companies. This sector has been extremely hot due to prices in gold and silver. This companies market cap is approximately 30 million which is cheap for this space.
The volume has been strong through this last 2 week consolidation period.
I bought a lot more shares right before the close because the stock was clearly breaking out of this consolidation period with higher then average volume.

Welcome to the board everyone.
Mems is going to be one of the best ethanol plays today.
I just started a Mems board.
They are a good ethanol play in waste stream to ethanol.
Their new as of the 5th is Convergance Ethanol.
I own a lot of Startech the backbone technology to NSOL.
I am surprised they are not moving more in sympathy.
Does anyone want to take a guess?
