jim, sorry to hear this...
Hey this is the first and only BB that I've actually got some good feelings about...
i know that most of the bbs are trash but there are some good little companies out there. i have shares of one company that was otc but went to the pinks on purpose in order to be more or less semi private [or semi public whichever you prefer]. the company is 120 years old and just good ol' people working hard. they havent managed to do much for shareholders [another reason they went to the pinks] but i have been holding about 5 years now and its looking to me like things are finally shaping up. i will refrain from mentioning the ticker because i dont want anybody to think im trying to hype the stock.
PEQM is another example of a good company. i owned quite a bit of the stock at one time. actually, i was buying the managment at the time, more than the company. George is a bright guy. i took a look at the Q and understand why he has decided to do what what he is doing. sales are declining. George may just want to move on. i really do think george would do his best to get his shareholders a good decent return.
as for IBZT - cant explain why - but i havent been able to get myself to buy that trash - and a lot of the other bazillion share turds out there.
i notice that this guy : http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=2265347
cant figure out what stock you're talking about ...lol
i may have confused you and others when i switched from talking about PEQM to WUFG:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=2262323
what i was saying there is i still believe what i said in an earlier post about the OS and float on WUFG. i cant remember where i got the info tho. pinksheets shows Merit Transfer as the transfer agent and it so happens that one of the principles of merit transfer is also named george. i assume merit is still in business and i used to have georges' phone number around here but i havent spoken to him in 2 or 3 years. merit is a pretty shitty transfer agent. if you call information you find they dont even have their number listed. it used to be [and probably still is] that if you wanted info on a stock you had to fax or mail them a request for info and they would get back to you.
Lazarus
btw - if you ever decide to make a carreer out of selling shells and doing reverse mergers being the transfer agent isnt a bad idea...esp if you also hold a large position. you get to see where all the stock is and when its coming to market. you also get first peek at who is registering their shares.
i agree...
no religion!
Lazarus
added more in the a.m....
same price.
jim...
just telling you what i suspect.
take it for what its worth.... why else would they not be offered or sold in the U.S. the company states that one of the reasons they want to go public is they will have access to capital to fuel its continued growth and acquisition strategy."
i'm not trying to suggest that the stock will or wont go up. im just rendering my opinion. i generally stick to MY opinion until im fully convinced otherwise.
here is another personal opinion: george cortessi,is a good, straight shooting business man.
hope you make a bundle!
Lazarus
probably REG S shares
ed... i dont think i read it same...
...but im not sweating it. if i really cared i would give george a call. im dont hold any PEQM although [i have in the past]
but its kinda like my comment on WUFG about the OS and float. i think im right but i cant even remember where i got the info from. i think merit transfer is their transfer agent but that is a shitty transfer company. i think i have the # for george at merit around here somewhere too...[i know george - had dinner with him in Miami a few years back - i assume he is still the chief banana at merit] but im not going to bother looking for it. when i have some time i will call don @ WHY USA and ask him.

interesting ....
i've visited this company and have met george.
he's a good man.
i'll keep an eye on this one.
Lazarus
nice action on HGIIA today...
..hopefully we see some more eps -- another franchise or two wouldnt hurt either.
Lazarus
volume HGIIA
whatever you say /em
hope you're not serious...
i think the current OS is around 75 million and the float around 25 million.
its this liquidity that i will have the penny flippers and daytraders on it.
Lazarus
i mentioned that...
the mortgage business is very good right now.
they have an office near by...
i will drop in on them and check them out.
i'm familiar with the business.
having said what i said -- it looks like it has the potential to be a dollar stock.
Lazarus
looks like we'll break 2.00 today /em
yes...
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=2259416
could be a good long term hold... looks like the penny flippers and day traders are jumping on board.
Lazarus
imo - they need to hone their image...
...and work on expanding their presence: http://www.whyusa.com/offices.htm
purchase of the mortgage business looks like a good move.
now they need a title company.
Lazarus
looks likes a breakout to me!
go double you YOU F GEE!
nuttier than squirrel poop!
go baby!
Bush to seek big increase in funding for mad cow programs
By Jerry Hagstrom, CongressDaily
PHOENIX -- Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman today said President Bush's fiscal 2005 budget would increase programs designed to prevent bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or "mad cow" disease, by $47 million from the $13 million spent in fiscal 2004.
Of that total $60 million request, $33 million would be used to develop a national animal identification system, while $17 million would be spent to test animals for the disease and $5 million on research for BSE testing technologies.
Speaking to the National Cattlemen's Beef Association's convention here, Veneman said the administration also is considering transferring emergency funds from the Commodity Credit Corporation to help finance the BSE prevention program and animal identification program during fiscal 2004. Veneman noted USDA had transferred $10.5 million from the CCC to the Animal and Plant Health Service last fall to double testing for BSE from 20,000 to 40,000 head of cattle.
Asked whether the Bush administration planned any changes in its total ban on meat from so-called downers or nonambulatory animals, Veneman said the administration is seeking public comments on the rule and "still could make adjustments." But Veneman added it would be "inappropriate" for her to comment further.
The Canadian-born cow in Washington state diagnosed last December with "mad cow" disease was a downer. Measures to codify the downer ban and extend it to other animals have been introduced in both the House and the Senate.
Veneman urged cattlemen to keep in perspective the bans other countries have imposed on U.S. beef with actions the United States has taken when the disease has been found elsewhere. At a news conference, Veneman noted the United States closed its border to Canadian meat after the discovery of a single case of "mad cow" disease in Canada last May, but had opened the border to boxed beef in October and said the United States is urging other countries to follow its timetable.
Veneman noted that after the discovery of mad cow disease in Japan in September 2001, consumer confidence there plunged, and Japan is now testing every cow that is slaughtered. She said USDA officials "are working hard with [the Japanese] to find equivalent measures."
Veneman said it would be "premature" for her to say whether an animal identification system needs to be mandatory, but that USDA does not want to impose multiple identification systems on producers. USDA is studying other systems that are already in place, such as one sponsored by McDonald's restaurants to pay producers extra if they can trace meat back to the farm.
Veneman also said the Bush administration has decided to defend the beef and pork checkoff programs before the Supreme Court. The checkoff programs require all producers of a particular commodity to pay a fee on each sale, with the money going into research, promotion and advertising. Critics have brought cases in federal court arguing that the mandatory payments amount to forced speech and violate the Constitution. Federal appeals courts have issued conflicting opinions on that point.
geesh... sorry didnt notice :(
glad to see you though :)
do you take your opponents to the mat here like you do on RB?
Lazarus
im working on the "weeding part"...
i admit that i often hold too long...and often to my detriment.
on the other hand... there have been times when it has made me mucho dinero.
Lazarus
oops -- here it is.
NHKT = shell with very small float...
..dont recall seeing it mentioned here:
The number of shares outstanding of the Company's $.001 Par Value Common Stock,
as of September 30, 2003 were 7,855,500. The aggregate number of shares of the
voting stock held by non-affiliates on September 30, 2003 was 1,114,000.
at the current bid of 3 cents the market value of the float is $33,420.00
Lazarus
you left out one little part...
in a PM you said "I never post my exits haaaaaaaaaaaaa"
just sounded like a chicken shit reply to me.
as for MYCO -- not that it matters but i did make mention of it on IHUB : http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=2180181
i think my highest buyin was 4 cents ... my weighted avg share price is under 3 cents. i have 30% of my original position for sale at .12 if i didnt think it was going higher i would lower my offer -- or hit maybe even hit the bid.
Lazarus
ps... can you please book mark me so i can become popular like you?
hey summer .... good to see you over here...
knew it was just a matter of time ;)
Lazarus
well check this out ... its a classic.
i took this pic in front of the main entrance
WELCOME TO MONSOON INT. COME ON IN!!!
LMAO

re:
Since all of my last 20 picks I posted went straight into the green, it was only a question of time till someone comes outta his dark hole and attacks me
yeow -- i didnt notice! but now I AM very jealous of you!
Lazarus
lance, lance, lance...come on buddy...
you have been around a LONG time. so let's see if we can get on the same page.
you and i know that there are lot of companies out there that are total TURDS. so we have to distinguish between the company - the stock - and the holders of stock.
just because a stock goes to 3 dollars doesnt make the company a good company -- im sure we can agree on that.
BRE-X went to $300 bucks -- and it was a total scam
do you remember Triden Telecom -- TRIT -- that stock went from a penny and half to $2.25 . i owned that stock at .015 and could not believe all the hype and hoopla those idiots on the thread were spouting out about the company. i had the pleasure of bashing it for about 18 months -- and all the while watch it go up. i was fortunate to get out with large blocks near the top. i bot my oldest son a condo and car with that one. IT WAS AND IS A TOTAL TURD -- ONLY DIFFERENCE IS NOW ITS PRICED PROPERLY .0001
USGA [the company] looks like a total turd to me... ok. sometimes the stock price of these turds jump right out of the toilet and hit the ceiling.
i happen to own a LOT of turd stocks. im not going to try to fool you or anybody into thinking they are anything but TURDS....because a turd by any other name - smells the same.
hey lance -- do you remember the company who had this building as their INTERNATIONAL HEADQUARTERS ??? lmao -- its stock also went to 3 dollars ... lol and achieved a market cap of approx 60 million:
stock now 3 cents --- ooops!]
lol
so what we often have is:
*** company = turd
*** stock price = high
*** holders of stock = ignorant, scammed
i think there is plenty of other stuff we can disagree on but hopefully we're on the same page here.
Lazarus
its unfriggin real...
...gives me hope though for the turds im holding on the cheap...lol
bot some CFCC today -- good little company. only about 8 million OS and trading at 11 cents bid 15 cents offer [b[with 16 cents in cash and equivs]
dont think there is a quick buck to be made there...but with the improvement in the telecom industry and market overall... i see the potential for significanlty higher prices for someone willing to look 2 to 3 years out.
http://www.macreport.net/ram_meta_files/CFCC.asx
Lazarus
USGA = what a turd!
i cant say the same...
in my main trading accounts it said i am down over 20k ... but... i look at the individual stocks and things are really just fine.
i've been getting up around 7:30 lately [calif time] and look at things around 8:00 and sometimes see that i missed a nice run here or there....but i dont sweat it.
Lazarus
look... i think the guy was WAY overdoing it...
on WWAT... SO I TOLD HIM SO... (msg# 39229)
WWAT -- lol ... why all the posts...
INSECURE???
or just the need to brag because you finally got a stock that moved up 2 or 3 pennies?

Lazarus
congrats!
to the moon buddy.... its all good...

i wouldnt be near as well off.
Lazarus
hit the refresh button - now down $20,350.00 :(
you made me look - up $7902.00 today ...
in my maind trading account.
the 4 others... too busy to check...but probably UP too:)
watch your downside....
upside will take care of itself.
shawn... i picked up a few CFCC
its quite possible they will turn things around...esp with the telecom industry doing as well as it is.
http://www.macreport.net/ram_meta_files/CFCC.asx
company is in pretty sound financial shape and looks like a leader of the pack. notice that they have 16 cents per share in CASH and equivalents.
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/791298/000079129803000012/cf10qsep03.txt
dont think a quick buck can be made here though... its taken a long time for investors to look again at GM and C etc... but eventually they will come around if the market continues to do well [the operative word being IF]
wish i woulda seen it at the lows :(
