MY OPINION of what is needed to jump start the PPS between now and financials released in Q1 2007:
1. Details of the partnership with the Willis Group and Panama canal projects. We have heard nothing since the Oct 23 PR that said an agreement was signed with the willis group and the Nov 1 PR that said Paypro Latin America was going to coordinate the project. We need an update and confirmation of the Panama deal is needed in the form of a press release from a company other than Panamersa or a subsidiary of Panamersa. We need a government agency webpage posting, or verifiable and definitive publicly available confirmation in some other means (newspaper, Panamanian governemnt agency, trade papers, etc). If a potential investor Googles Paypro OR Panamersa AND Willis Group, there is no confirmation of the existence of the signed deal or any other information not contained in a Paypro PR. This deal needs to be confirmed for people to beleive it is real.
2. Details on the toll road project in Mexico. We have heard nothing since the Oct 18 PR that made bold claims of Panama canal expansion projects (insurance etc) and agreements between the Trinitum group and Hill International. If a potential investor Googles Paypro OR Panamersa AND Hill International or Trinitum group, there is no confirmation of the existence of the Joint Venture Agreement or any other information not in a Paypro PR. Involvement in the major toll road project that crosses Mexico City and the panama canal bids and other projects referenced in the Oct 18 PR need to be confirmed for people to believe it is all real.
3. Details on the Lac Huacas De Boquete Project. Again, nothing available on the net for a potential investor to confirm what is in the Oct 31 PR other than the plans detailed in the PR.
4. Details about the TerraVerde foundation and confirmation that selling microforest PDRs is a viable business model. Ref Nov 20 PR. A press release quoting David Shaw from the TerraVerde foundation is not what is needed. For all a potential investor knows, the Terraverde foundation is a subsidiary of Panamersa. A potential investor needs confirmation that companies or governemnt agencies are purchasing these microforest PDRs and that the business model is viable. Confirmation in the form of independently authored newspaper articles, governemnt agency press releases, etc.
5. Details about the Port SAE tourist theme part Pentapolis project. Ref Dec 4 PR. Again, independent confirmation, other than a description and other than general plans, that the project is real and there is a market for selling the theme park to a third party.
6. Confirmation that the 1 billion common share buyback has begun and shares are going to be purchased on the open market on some announced schedule. Ref Nov 16 PR.

My questions I would ask in the MN1 interview.
1. You previously PRed projects and plans in the works regarding the Panama Canal expansion project and agreements with Willis Group Holdings Limited (Oct 23 PR). What specifically will be the role of your company in the Panama Canal Expansion project and what companies do you have agreements with and what government agencies do you have agreements with and when will more details be publicly available?
2. What is the status of the projects announced on Oct 18 regarding the Trinitum group and Hill International regarding "the joint venture agreement to create a long-term alliance on major projects in the region. Trinitum recently signed an agreement to provide all the insurance, for the next 50 years, for the major toll road that crosses Mexico City. Included in the agreement is a 50 year revenue sharing clause, worth over $150,000,000 over the life of the contract to PayPro, Inc. The group will provide more than 51 types of insurance to the project. PayPro also gives the Trinitum Group the ability to bid on the employee payroll, toll tags, readers, and a state-of-the-art RFID debit card toll payment system also a 50 year contract which alone would increase PayPro revenues $35,000,000 to $70,000,000 a year. This joint venture represents a major opportunity for PayPro to solidify its long-term financial growth and adds another major revenue stream"
3. What specifically are the 2 members of your company's board of directors, Manuel Puron and Hector Aleman, working on? Details please.
4. On Oct 31, you issued a PR about the $70 Million 3 Stage "Las Huacas De Boquete Project". What is the status of this project, and what companies have you hired to do the planning, engineering, construction, management, etc?

Snick, I know you don't have these answers because the answers are not available yet but these questions and ones like them about the other press releases are what we need answered. We need confirmation and updated status about the other projects and plans that have been PRed. (Panama canal related projects, real estate developments in Costa Rica, the Port-Sae project, Mexican tollroads, Willis, Hill, etc).
4G has indicated that MT plans to educate us soon regarding the status of the various projects, and how the plans are being executed and I'm fine with that. But at the moment, we are lacking a lot of corroboration and real verifiable info.
RTK - hammer today, still lookin glike a nice little slow mover maybe.
You have to wonder how long people will continue defending this. Will the support still be there at 0.0002? And what will be the motivation to unconditionally defend? Friendship?
This isn't real. And anyone with an IQ over 120 knows it. Or they are brainwashed via way too much direct communication with the company and they are getting conned directly via email and telephone calls.
Check my post history for 2 others.
FYI, longs on HotStockMarket are not buying this story about $0.04 guarantees either.

No such thing as FREE money. Money is one thing people just do not give away.
If the stock was worth 2 cents, guess what? People would bid it up to 2 cents.
Said the same thing with many other stocks but greed always creates bagholding pumping

Apparently the Flavor Aid is limited to i-hub.

OT:
The fellow that made that claim here was Belgian, not English.
Strange, I thought this company recently hired an IR firm for dissemenating information to the public, and emails to i-hub members would no longer be the channel for communication with the public. Perhaps they are trying to save money in order to fund the $0.02 PPS guarantee in 2009, how thoughtful of them.
I wonder how much that trained cadre of MONITORS are paid, who they are, and if they post on this board.

I thought that was more to do with SarbOx, but I guess there might be CEO's of public companies who snap under the constant pressure of having their PAs ignore kook emails for them.
Kudos to Pedro for taking the high road and finding time while building out the infrastructure of an entire continent to answer individuals personally, as well as for employing a trained cadre of MONITORS to make sure that message boards are ummm monitored.
The present day reference to being a "kool aid drinker" comes from the cult mass-suicide/murder in Jonestown, Guyana in 1978. Jim Jones, the leader of the Peoples Temple, convinced his followers to move to Jonestown. Late in the year, he then ordered his flock to commit suicide by drinking grape-flavored Flavor Aid laced with potassium cyanide.
Hence, stock "cult following" and "don't drink the kool aid". Drinking the kool aid will kill you and your wallet.
Nevermind.
Any mods on right now? I have a question. If you are please respond publicly. Thank you very much.
A suggestion.
Since you have the ibox info linked to a post, clean out the i-box of all of the company propoganda such as product photos, links Interviews & Commerials etc currently in the i-box. And insert only the topical information that you want newbies to be aware of, ie Jim's famous profile image.
Unless there is some legal reason for keeping things unchanged?
Just a thought.
Galileo Galilei once said, "In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual."
I do not care for the responsibility of creating and publicly publishing the design on zazzle.com, for I was not injured as many of you were, but I will offer this cropped photo with Plant's personal info blacked out that should not be against the privacy rules for the t-shirt design website. BTW, it is free to create and design the item and have it be publicly viewable, it only costs money if someone really wants to buy the thing, lol. Frankly I think the link to it would be humorous enough to provide some comfort. Here's a pic one could use:
When you come up with one, I vote it goes in the i-box =)
Perhaps a portion of the proceeds of sales can go to the save the CKYS investors fund of America.
I was messing around on www.zazzle.com, you can make your own in about 20 seconds, and people can choose whatever color they want after you publish a t-shirt design. I didn't publish it publicly for others to mod it with different colors, because I am not real sure on the legality of it with it being a mugshot and with his personal info etc, but for those that are pissed at ol Mr Plant, you probably are not as reserved, have fun, lol.
I should be working on a joke pic of some apparrel for another stock as well....no demand yet but there undoubtably will be.
For some levity:
My refiner stocks are doing well still, what a cash cow lately.
Oil prices climb above $62 a barrel
By STAN CHOE AP Business Writer
March 23, 2007, 10:13AM
NEW YORK — Oil prices spiked above $62 a barrel Friday, as unrest in the Middle East and Nigeria helped vault front-month contract prices to their highest level since December.
Light, sweet crude for May delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange gained 63 cents to $62.32 in morning trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after earlier climbing as high as $62.65. Friday's rise follows a surge of more than $2 a barrel the previous day after U.S. government figures showed refineries are boosting crude usage to make gasoline and other products.
The May contract for Brent crude jumped 83 cents to $63.34 a barrel on London's ICE Futures exchange.
"There's a good solid list of fundamental supports for the market," said Citigroup Global Markets energy analyst Tim Evans. "There's nothing on the other side of the scale,"
At the top of the list was Britain's Ministry of Defense saying Iranian naval vessels seized 15 British sailors and marines in Iraqi waters. Britain said the personnel were "engaged in routine boarding operations of merchant shipping in Iraqi territorial waters," and had completed their inspection of a merchant ship when they were accosted by Iranian vessels.
Also adding to the market's worries was gunmen kidnapping three foreigners in southern Nigeria, Africa's biggest oil producer. Police said unidentified assailants waylaid a vehicle carrying an Indian and a Lebanese man in Warri and kidnapped them. In a separate incident, authorities said gunmen stormed a German construction firm in the main southern oil city of Port Harcourt and kidnapped a Dutch employee.
More than 150 foreign workers have been seized in the Niger Delta during a year of stepped-up militant attacks and rising crime. Militants say they are fighting to force the federal government to give more oil revenues to their region and release two leaders on trial for treason or corruption charges.
The focus back on geopolitical factors came after a U.S. inventory report released Wednesday that indicated that refineries are beginning to emerge from their seasonal maintenance period, after weeks of declining utilization, and will soon start demanding more crude oil ahead of the U.S. driving season.
The Energy Information Administration reported refineries operated at 86.3 percent capacity last week, up 0.7 percent from the prior week.
Natural gas futures slipped 3.4 cents to $7.286 per 1,000 cubic feet on the Nymex, heating oil futures rose less than a penny to $1.7262 a gallon and gasoline futures rose 1.75 cents to $1.975.
Those Schizophrenia drug stocks, so hard to tell them which was to go, they listen to the little voices in their heads!

CBOT - CME Confident On CBOT Deal, Not Reviewing Offer
March 22, 2007 14:48 ET (18:48 GMT)
(Updates throughout. Adds comments from analysts and latest share prices.)
By Jesse Thomas and Stephen Wisnefski Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
CHICAGO (Dow Jones)--The chief executive of Chicago Mercantile Exchange Holdings Inc. (CME) remains confident that the U.S. Department of Justice will sign off on its merger proposal with CBOT Holdings Inc. (BOT), and that the deal will close by the end of the first half of this year as planned.
Speaking Thursday during a conference call with analysts, CEO Craig Donohue also said that CME doesn't see any need to address the valuation of its offer for CBOT, because the counteroffer from IntercontinentalExchange Inc. (ICE) is "significantly inferior" to the CME-CBOT agreement
"CBOT shareholders are being offered a minnow-trying-to-swallow-the-whale alternative, fraught with execution risk and overstated synergies," Donohue said of ICE's offer, adding that ICE has exaggerated the regulatory hurdles that the CME-CBOT deal faces.
Atlanta-based ICE, an electronic marketplace that focuses on energy trading, a week ago announced an all-stock offer for CBOT valued at about $9.7 billion based on current share prices, or 12% higher than CME's bid. ICE's offer has led to uncertainty about the merger agreement between CBOT and CME, which was first announced last October and would create the world's largest derivatives exchange. Several analysts have said that CME would likely be forced to increase its offer to keep the deal with CBOT on track.
Richard Herr of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, said Thursday that, even though CME management did a convincing job of saying it feels its offer is fair, he still thinks there's a 50/50 chance the exchange will raise its bid. Howard Chen of Credit Suisse agreed that a higher bid could be justified, pointing out in a note to investors that CBOT's earnings power "has vastly improved" since the deal with CME was announced.
ICE Responds
The battle between ICE and CME, which are under pressure to expand quickly through consolidation, illustrates how hot a commodity CBOT has become. CBOT in recent years played second-fiddle to its faster growing hometown rival, but in recent months has seen a surge in trading volume, particularly in its agricultural products.
In the wake of the offer from ICE, CBOT shares have hit a string of record highs, moving as high as $199.70 during Wednesday's session. The stock was down 1.4% at $194.39 in recent trading, while CME was up 1.2% to $547.11 and ICE was down 0.6% to $129.04.
In response to Donohue's latest comments, ICE issued a press release with point-by-point rebuttals on the main criticisms made by CME.
ICE noted that it has smoothly integrated two exchanges through acquisitions, while "CME has no integration experience." The exchange also reiterated that has the flexibility to add a cash component to its CBOT offer, and that it expects to discuss that alternative with the Chicago exchange.
"CME's increasing attempts to discredit ICE don't change the fact that our offer is clearly superior - the ICE offer provides much higher current value, is pro-competitive, and will create a stronger business that we believe is better positioned for future growth," ICE said in its statement.
CME Meeting With CBOT Members
CME executives will meet with CBOT members and shareholders later Thursday to outline the weaknesses CME sees in the competing proposal. In the wake of ICE's bid, several members have said that the decision on whether to back the CME-CBOT agreement has become more difficult.
CBOT's board of directors on Monday gave authorization for the exchange to begin discussions and exchange information with ICE. CBOT, which has postponed its shareholder and member votes that were previously scheduled for April 4, said it stands by its current deal with CME. CBOT has said that it has "not withdrawn, modified or qualified" its recommendation that CBOT shareholders and members vote in favor of the CME deal.
Donohue reiterated Thursday that CME has "a definitive merger agreement" with CBOT and continues working toward integration. "We believe that CBOT's board will conclude, as we have, that (ICE's proposal) is inferior."
Donohue said that "ICE adds little or no value to CBOT as a merger partner or valuable currency," adding that a deal with ICE would limit CBOT's comparative future growth potential. He also said that the six-year-old Atlanta exchange could face difficulties in successfully completing a large-scale merger and integrating its operations.
Speaking during the same call, CME Chief Financial Officer James Parisi cast doubt on ICE's ability to obtain the $240 million in annual cost savings it says are possible through a deal with CBOT. "We believe the realistic estimate of synergies is about 55% to 75% lower than what ICE is portraying," Parisi said.
CME Refutes ICE On Exercise Rights, Metals
CME executives also refuted ICE's claims that its deal with CBOT would resolve a dispute between CBOT and the Chicago Board Options Exchange regarding exercise rights, which allow CBOT members to become members of the CBOE without purchasing a membership seat.
CBOT, which has filed a lawsuit against CBOE, is seeking to uphold its members' rights, which could give them access to CBOE stock and dividends as the options exchange transitions to shareholderholder-owned from member-owned status. CBOE is seeking approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission to extinguish the CBOT exercise rights, suggesting that CBOT will no longer have "members" as defined by the charter that created the right, following CBOT's merger with CME.
"We do not believe there is any concern with respect to the exercise right," Donohue said Thursday. The ICE proposal "offers nothing different or new" and doesn't provide a "guarantee" of preservation of the exercise rights.
In a new wrinkle to the dispute, however, Donohue added that CME would "consider an alternative structure if the CBOE says that structure will preserve the exercise right."
CME also disputed the idea that it has decided to abandon CBOT's metals trading business as part of the merger. CME established a partnership last year with Nymex Holdings Inc. (NMX) to trade energy and metals contracts on CME's Globex electronic platform.
"We have not made any determination on the CBOT's metals business," Donohue said.
ICE said in its proposal that it would "protect and grow the CBOT's metals complex," but Donohue said Thursday that nothing should be read into what ICE has said regarding its support of CBOT's metals business.
