Jagman: are u a paid basher or a sore loser
in amep and hisc ? You spend so much time bashing those two stocks, that makes me think you are either a paid basher or a sore investor who bought too high. I happen to know those two stocks very well. In fact I made my first 20 bagger in hisc last year, in at 0.0065, out at 0.13. I broke even with amep and don't have any positions now. Listen to me, whoever you are, buy some cwpc, erhe and ctum, you will make a lot of more money than being a paid basher, if you are indeed one.
bourg: ConMed doesn't mean a darn thing
There could be so many reasons why the JV didn't continue other than something wrong with LTC. Over 5000 operations are convincing enough for me. ConMed didn't join the party maybe bacause they didn't have enough cash, or maybe they couldn't agree on the conditions. Consider that was their misfortune. Ross Perot refused to invest in Home Depot at its start, something with HD ? I had this company ugne, several years ago pfe (that's Pfizer !) dissovled the JV with ugne and said their drug didn't work. But ugne found another partner and got their drug FDA approved. The stock ran from 0.5 to 3.6 now. Don't believe me ? Do your own DD. Even Pfizer mis-judge things, man, the hell with ConMed.
U also mentioned 73 year old engineer, what hack is wrong with that ? Reagan was elected US president the second time at age of 73 and did a pretty good job, so get a life man, stop whining and start to think why you lost big $ in nnsr !!!
This one is pushing ctum today
http://www.rallymonkey.com/video/kenindex.swf
Thanks LM, exactly as u said
"a technology like LTC is NOT gonna get shelved!". They were smart enough to go to Ukraine in 1992 (right after the collapse of Soviet Union), they surely know the best way to get into US. I was trying to figure out what a big brother can bring to a BB company and biph came to my mind.
Lowman: you know how ctum going to
introduce Tissue Welding/Bonding Technology to US ? Are there any talk with big brother such as bsx ? When biph got a JV deal with bsx, it's stock up more than 10 times and their market cap stay above $150 mil. I hope we get a big partner to carry us into the US market, which, like the DD deal, will instantly validate the technology and push us another 5 fold up.
Confession of a paid basher
Found this from another board:
Today I want to come clean about something I feel very badly about. I cannot undo some of the things I have done, but hopefully this message will prevent other such occurrences in the future.
I am a paid basher.
Yes, it is true. Today is my last day at this company; I'm moving on to a new job. I've realized that there are more dignifying jobs out there that can pay me equally as well. But before I go, I want to explain a few things because this just isn't right and I won't feel good about myself until I expose this sham. It's hurt too many people and I don't want it on my conscience anymore. I can no longer live with a lie.
I work for a company called Global Calumny Funds in Stamford, CT. Basically, it's a Boiler Room much like the one in the movie of the same name. The idea behind my group is to bash the price of a company's stock down low enough to where the group of investors who retained our company's services can buy the stock really cheap and perhaps even take it over all together.
There are approximately 70 people at the company divided into several groups. My group, consisting of 5 people, is responsible for IDWD. While I probably shouldn't give any names of anyone working here now, what the heck, I'm leaving here, so what can they do? sue me? Ha! I can tell you that laptoptrader and janice shell were part of my group until he left last week, as was ninaturtle. Others who have been part of this include early bashers like hard data and Investorman. You may be interested to know that some hypsters, such as MONEYMADE and even Datatech!!, have also been part of the scam (more on that later).
There are several companies engaged in the bashing business, ours is not the only one. However, I can tell you that not every basher in here is a paid basher. Having done this for a year, I can usually tell who is a paid basher and who is merely someone
having a little fun. While unpaid bashers have a different motive than someone like me, they can be unwilling accomplices to helping me achieve my ultimate goal and they also spread rumor and confusion throughout a room, which also helps me.
What is that goal? Well, I am merely a cog in a much larger machine, so my bosses never really explained the big picture to me, but I'd say essentially, Shaddowwatch2oo3 was right. There are several companies who are quite familiar with Jim Bishop and Janice Shell and who are deathly afraid of them.
There are three types of bashers here at Global Calumny Funds: Advanced, Intermediate and Beginner. An Advanced-level basher (also known as a Silver Tongued Devil) would spread false or misleading information about the company.
They would deal in facts, countering every longs post with articles, news reports and opinion surveys that gave a negative impression about the company.
An Intermediate-level basher (also known as a Serpent) would try to weasel their way into the confidence of longs and create doubt using rumor or innuendo.
Finally, a Beginner-level basher (also known as a Pitchfork) would attempt to create confusion in the room by distracting other posters with satire, name calling and pointless arguments. The idea was to make sure no serious discussion of the stock
could take place. A Pitchfork was usually a basher, but not always. Sometimes, we would throw in a hypster Pitchfork such as MONEYMADE and laptop and a pumper like Datatech to create the illusion of an argument going on. What was really funny (in a perverse way, I guess) was that Datatech and I sat next to each other, laughing the whole time.
I was a Serpent basher, because I am known for effective bashing based on solid facts and truth. I was paid a base wage of $18 an hour for my services. I was given a $1.25 bonus for every decent quality post over 100 per day as well as a monthly bonus of $100 for every penny the stock had dropped from the previous month. I was also paid a bonus for bashing on weekends. While this may not sound like much, I made a decent, though dishonorable, paycheck plus a nice Laptop with free wireless internet connection.
Each of us sat in a small half-cubicle in a cluster with our teammates. Each group (usually five people) was made of three beginners (two who would bash and one who would hype), one intermediate and one advanced level basher. Occasionally for some
of the hotter stocks, one of the beginners would be replaced by an intermediate depending on how much the stock was rising. IDWD was a low-level stock, meaning it got the 3-1-1 configuration.
Honestly though, somehow, I get the feeling that WV Hillbilly may have worked for a basher company or knows someone who does because the fund websites he occasionally posts is eerily similar to our employer's websites. While not exact, I'd say it is about 90 percent the same. We do have certain rules that we follow.
First, we have to develop a character and stay within that character in order to build a "following." My character, "FogOfWar," was a humorous, sarcastic, obnoxious supporter of free speech and loved to portray himself as a truth-telling superhero, but only when it came to bashers.
Next, we had to follow certain guidelines on what we could say. We were urged to have an "answer" to every long's question, but we were to frame that answer in a way that ridiculed the questioner for asking such a question. However, we were never to use profanity or vulgarity because that would cause people to ignore us. We were to make fun of people, but in a civil way. The idea was to get "play," i.e. reaction from other posters. The more play we got, the more the room would be disrupted. Ignored posters get no play. One exception would be the hypsters since they were "defending" the stock against our onslaught, they got a little more leeway. People would side with the hypster because they thought he was real since he appeared to be on their side, but was really on ours, setting us up to disrupt the room. MoneyMade was quite good at this and gets paid very well.
I've worked on IDWD, VLO, AGII, QBID, BKMP for a few months now. In addition to the FogOfWar alias, I've used a few others on several other boards as well. I've used so many aliases that I can not remember the monikers or the passwords. I honestly lost track of everything. I stuck with FogOfWar because it was the one that got the most play from other posters.
In closing, I feel absolutely terrible about this. It's just awful how I've been part of a scam designed to cheat honest, hard-working people out of their investments all for the
benefit of a few wealthy people who already have enough money to last a lifetime.
These greedy people MUST be stopped. That's why I'm posting this before I leave. I want to make up for some of the damage I've done. I can't live with this lie anymore. You can't imagine how hard it is to look at myself in the mirror each morning knowing my job is to cheat and lie.
I have to go now, I'm too broken up to continue. I hope this confession can make up for my sordid deeds; I would urge everyone who reads this to inform as many people as you can. Only by shining the light of truth can we drive these rats back into the darkness from whence they came. Believe me, they don't want publicity.
Good luck and I hope all of you the best in your investment endeavors.
Jagman: if I tell you that someone was hit by a car when he
was across a street, does that make you refuse to go across a street ever again ?
some people got confused because they
ask if this is so good why it's dirt cheap and they can't believe it. It happend to me many times. Look at the chart of cwpc, it stayed around 0.45 for a long time, and at that price I found it and just could't believe it. I bought and sold several time because it didn't go up. It finanly took off, but i had to buy most of my shares at $1+ because I wasn't strong enough to accumulate a truck load at 0.45.
A sad example for me is that I bought a ton of ptsc at 0.08, but gave it up and sold most of it, today it closed at $1.4. Each time I look it, it gives me a heart attack.
I swear I won't allow this happen to me again. So if any of you potential investors are reading, jackpot does happen from time to time, but you got to have the balls to hold. Quite a few smart people I know simply don't have the guts to hold and never make any big money.
express40: the fund you manage owns ctum ?
I am very glad to hear that a prefessional fund manager likes ctum.
Thanks.
Bourg projecting anger from nnsr to ctum ?
Very often, you see some small companies announce deals that worth hundreds of million dollars, but the fine print says "only if the buyer has the funding". Those are the companies bourg should be bashing. I wonder if nnsr (the company that burned bourg badly) is such a company, maybe he is projecting his anger from nnsr to ctum ?
Glad to have a smart fellow share holder steve.
At the time the contract was signed, ctum has less than 2 million mkt cap. A 37 bil mkt cap company would have made a big fool of itself if it hadn't done all the necessary testing.
bourg33: did you lose half of your money in nnsr ?

NNSR----close to new HOD I see .23 for a close
nnsr is now 0.105:
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=nnsr
oh boy only if you had a better track record, I would take your opinion more seriously
Addax (axc.to) up again
if you read my msg 21868 and took action, u would be doing very good now. Addax still has lots of room upwards.
Lowman, wnwg moves up nicely lately
A new player in oil sands and has news today. You started the msg board, are you in ? I was thinking of starting a msg board for it, you beat me on that. -:)
A huge success of tissue welding technology will come from application of that to c-sections. More and more women are choosing c-section over natural delivery. But those c-sections leave big ugly scar on the lower abdomials of beautiful ladies. Once this technology is known widely, every woman in the world will choose it, even if they have to pay much more. we all know how much ladies are willing to pay for staying beautiful. LOL. oh man, we are talking about billions $$ here for this alone.
Meridian = Mrs. Brandhuber ???
(1)Meridian: A city of eastern Mississippi near the Alabama border east of Jackson. This is where she grew up ?
(2)Mr. Brandhuber become CEO recently, that explains why Meridian only became interested in erhe recently.
(3)Meridian knew erhe was not talking to CVX, but didn't know whom cvx was talking to. So Meridian definitely is on erhe's side.
(4)Meridain is not Mr. Brandhuber because she is not associated with any institions, public or private, plus she hasn't bought and will not buy any erhe's shares.
(5)She has the motivation to restore trust in erhe so her husband will do well also and she only benefit indirectly.
This could be true, folks, show some respect. I apologize to Meridian here becuase I called her a "joker".
This delay decision must be made last minute
by STP. They had agreed to sign the PSC, but maybe when they were on their way, a big suitcase full of $$$ was handed to them. How can anyone refuse ? They were not asked to kill someone. If cvx/xom had not discovered huge oil, this delay probably won't have happened. This is part of life, bad things come with the good ones. After all erhe still has the rights to one or several huge oil fields. I guess I could wait.
First 2 hours trading on Monday will tell us
all the stories. When pxd's withdraw news hit, erhe was down to the 0.3's, then steady buying came, eventfully erased all the loss. It would be very foolish to sell at market on Monday morning.
mrogop: some people on RB suggested that maybe cvx
wants to knock down erhe's price and do a hostile takeover ? But EO control over 40% of erhe's shares, this doesn't sound possible.
Thank you lowman for your analysis. (I am not a premium subscriber, can't do a private reply.)
What is the worst scenario ?
Addax has already been approved as the operator of block 4. Can they disapprove Addax after review the JOA ? It looks like some deep pocket just want to delay this, even for a few days. Maybe some hedge funds are behind this: to stir some panic and load up cheap shares ?
Lowman: what do you think of suf ?
I can see that you moderated 163 boards and posted a lot msg on suf. You think they are for real ? It looks to me they either worth nothing or worth 10 bil one day, not enough info to make a judgement.
erhe's partner Addax (axc.to) making new high
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=AXC.TO&t=5d
Glad I have both.
Meridian may be a hired gun from some
hedge fund that want to get cheap shares before big bang. Looks like they are partially successful. Poor people who sold today must buy back at much higher price tomorrow.
wow, people who sold at 0.195 earlier today must be weeping now,
got to have faith. deep pocket coming into the game. a 125k buy just passed.
Peter Piper: I have erhe too
got in at 0.43. Holding my ctum, looks like it will consolidate for a while, depending on when the next news come, by then we'll have a cup with a handle formation.
I also have cwpc. What other stocks you have that will be exploding ?
"I really do not know who they are talking to"
Then what hell you were talking here ? What a joker.
maybe Meridian is with Walter Brandhuber
or he is Walter Brandhuber ? That way he can be certain that erhe not talking to cvx. He doesn't sound like a basher. If what he said is true: "CVX and XOM try to manipulate the JDA to force them into Block 2", then it verifies that block 2 has something everyone and his mother want: lots of oil.
One plant, multiple customers
I am not sure if this is mentioned before here, from their recent filling:
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1015002/000114420406006883/v036088_424b3.txt
They mentioned: "the Company is currently negotiating with three
large industrial plants within seven (7) miles of the Chastang location that do
not need national pipeline quality gas and only require 83% and above methane
purity to fire boilers"
This paragraph is in the "Note 2: Going concern", I guess lots of people don't want to read that and missed this.
So they could milk out more $$ from this one location: "three large industrial plants", I like that.
Captital Gain: you are off by 2.5 times
One hour has 60 minutes not 24 !!!
"According to their website, the smallest CO2 separation plant that they produce needs at least 1750 CFM (cubic foot per min),
That is 42000 CF per hour...."
Should be 105000 cf per hour. Also it doesn't make sense to use the lowest end as bench mark.
I heard lots of talk of 0.2 yesterday
I have a 100k order waiting to buy, who wants to sell me at 0.2 ? I am still waiting.
Good for you lowman, another guy is
just like you on the ragingbull msg board, his board name is johnsword4, once he found cwpc, he sold every stocks he had and all he has now is cwpc and he is doing great. I probably learned too much of diversifying risk and don't have the courage to just own one stock. I was jumping in and out of cwpc below $1, but once it passed $1, I knew it's for real and hold since. I don't think trading a stock like ctum making much sense, it has below $10 mil mkt cap. I hope it goes to 0.2 so I could load up more. Maybe some people don't realize that one plant alone is more than $10 mil now after they secured contract from DuPont. The reasoning is very simple: people buy into a gas well based on it's researve, for example if a gas well has 1 bcfe (billion cubic feet equivalent) recoverable gas then the current industry buying price is $2 mil. What's the gas reserve ctum has? theoretically: infinite. But let's just talk about 10 years contract: 1.5 mmcfed X 350 X 10 = 5.25 bcfe (take of 15 days for maintenance) and this is more than $10 million. So now it's like you get the gas after 10 years for free plus you own the technology.
lowman, your patience finanlly paid off
you must be a wealthy man now -:). You know any other gems that haven't discovered yet ? Thanks.
Hi five to you smart lucky early birds
ctum was on my watch list and I saw the news yesterday but didn't act because I didn't do much DD. But after more research, I realized that their plants are like gas wells that runs forever at a rate of at least 1.5 mmcfd (2000 cf per minites X 60 X 24 /2 = 1.5 mmcf), and they could have thousands of them. So I dived in big time today, maybe I was too eager to buy, having some paper loss now, but I think their technology alone worth at least $70 mil, so I am holding for a potential 10 bagger here.
My other two winners: cwpc (started to buy at 0.44) and erhe (started from 0.42 recently), check them out, still 10 baggers potentials.
Again congradulations to you long time holders, wish I knew this contract were coming and got in at 0.06.
Better to own both erhe and addax
This way how ever the deal works out between addax and erhe, you can benefit.
addax (axc.to) has 138 mil shares outstanding, about $2.5 bil mkt cap. proved + probable reserve = 175 mmboe, 3p reserve = 241 mmboe. The first 9 month earning in 2005 is $168 mil. It's fair valued if you only consider 2p reserve. The market hasn't factored in the fact that addax is a big winner in JDZ.
The only drawback is you need to call your broker for trades. But if one plans to own it for long time (I do), then it doesn't really matter.
SINOPEC is already in block 6
http://www.nigeriasaotomejda.com/
(click on press release, go down to the bottom)
So it makes every sense for them to get in other blocks as well.
It I were given the right to make a decision, I would cash out half of my holdings after signing the PSC, since there are political risks there. erhe has about 2 bil barrel under its control. Using the recent CNOOC acquision price as guide,
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/09/AR2006010901779.html
The price should be $4 per barrel.
(CNOOC paid $2.27 billion for 45% stake for $620 mil boe + 3.75 tcfe = 1.245 bil boe, this works out as $4 per barrel)
So short target for erhe's market cap shoule be about $4 bil, or $5.6 per share. Long term, after production starts and reserve is proved, the remaining oil reserve should be valued at $12 per barrel, that put erhe market at $16 bill, or $22.5 per share. This will take several years. Look at the chart of upl, you know this could happen.
There must be more delays in the drilling
I wonder where is everyone from RB ? Where is that guy who goes to Mineral Wells ? Not a word from anyone. This feels right to you ?
RB board is dead forever
Everyone comes here and talks about cwpc.
Looks like something is very wrong
Market and oil stocks up big, amep drifting down.
