Agreed mostly, but I think once we break about .0175 it will get easier to get over that and reasonably quickly to .025-.03. Of course depends on the revenues posted, but if it wasn't for all of the past, we would be there already and should be. If everything goes as planned, I'm looking for over a nickel+ in 6-8 months. Given the pps will go up and down during that time, but getting a higher base support as it does it and one might get that super surprise also, never know.
Yes, definitely down to earth news brief, kind of reminds one of a real company with sincerity, not any pumped up Hollywood drama there. The kind of news that I think will get believability, sincerity, and ease of accomplishment of stated goals in future statements. Going to show they can "walk the walk" I believe. Words are chosen carefully, and I also really like;
"In addition to implementing the Company's Community Algae Farm, (encompassing approximately 150+ acres of land in Southern California), BioCentric Energy will begin site assessments and the subsequent deployment of algae farms for clients throughout the US, as well as many other countries."
implement –verb (used with object)
to fulfill; perform; carry out: to put into effect according to or by means of a definite plan or procedure.
I still wouldn't expect any high pps toward a dollar or anything in the next year or anything. One has to realize for every organic and solid $.10 is about %1000 increase from here. I'd rather keep my expectations down and be super happy if more happened rather that expecting too much and be super disappointed.
Just want to say that it's really tight here, and if there's some news, there won't be any shake, it will just break. There is no fight to take it up and something more dramatic has to be done to bring it down -- the two trades were me at 13:59:57 and 14:01:11 -- I was just messing around (the very last one AH not me). If you behlieve, one might just take some at the ask and take the risk, if one doesn't then one can wait and maybe get some (maybe not as many) for a lower pps (a different risk). Due to volume at the low ends, where I like buying them, it's taken me almost 4 months to get where I want to be. Take it for what it worth, but as several people have stated, news is due with no rules as to when, but algae grows quick. All IMO.
See how easy that was. I thought maybe you didn't like the color so I took it back off.
Day isn't over. John Person says you have to wait to take it, along with it's really late and its flashed before. I'm looking for the fake, shake, and break so let it stay. They will probably be pretty stingy though, everyone has to share. Even if they take it lower to sub, it's going to be really hard to beat the previous low, so it still will be positive short, med, and long. But don't listen to me, I'm only guessing.
Also there is a small green arrow which indicates a 15 day MA crossing the 30 SMA (the blue one is the PPS buy arrow, and still haven't got the down one). I use many MA crossings to determine beginning and end of trends. That specific one is part of a triple MA and is a bullish signal, but is matched with a 30 over 60 to really indicate maybe a longer term trend, which hasn't happened. Still not a bad arrow for short term generally and one has to correlate them with other indicators. This chart gives some MAs with a standard momentum and MACD indicator and they are generally up which is a good thing.
I posted that in a chart over the weekend, but here's a closeup, getting pretty tight. I just draw it as a two line triangle, could draw it as a pennant if one wanted, its still just a bullish triangle. By itself, could trick one, bust down, then up or vise versa.
Showing upper AD line generally up, different from just recently. The forecasted weekly Person Pivot price points converging and also "saucer" forming on AO and ADO, with ADO about ready to go positive. And the short term MACD settings are about ready to cross upwards. Some bullish signals.
That's exactly what I have said, only I think you might have said it better, and all in one post too.
Agreed. Plus, normally costs at first are higher than when they get a little experience and market under their belt, then I would be looking at those costs coming down.
I'll be ecstatic if they come out with 1-2 million. Start up companies and developmental product have enormous costs. You also have reinvestment and owed costs of initial investment. Maybe in time they can get to a larger return, but even then one has to deal with the reality of reasonable percentages.
In my experience, one has to eat a lot of beans and rice and not take profit in order to get something really going. How return is used is more what I'll be looking at.
One more chart and I’ll bow out (I can’t even do it in three charts). Just to show some more changes in dynamics of this stock over the last three months. One year, weekly chart, regular candles. I use numbers up to 0.0000001 increments for the TA analysis with this chart, so visually it may not be what one is accustomed to but hopefully I’ve put a couple of things on here that can be seen and share some of what I’m seeing in the positive dynamic differences the last three months have produced.
For this one I’m using the PSAR and I use the PSAR basically just for trends and I pay attention mostly to the rate of change of acceleration (AF) when looking for advance notice of change in trend. With this one I have customized and increased the AF factor to show visually the change in trend and magnify what I am looking at with the numbers. As one can see the PSAR has changed dramatically with the change in rate of change of acceleration within the last three months indicating end of a trend down and maybe trend up, maybe flat, have to look at and watch for other things to decide.
The AD line again shows the general change in direction and looking for that to continue, both the MACD_BS and the CCI_BS are showing breakout signals up in the last few months and the CCI_BS is starting to look like about this time last year before the pps broke upwards, only this time it probably won’t break so far up, but IMO it will be more real and solid. The DSS (Stoch) shows the peak at the P&D, has come down under the low line (accumulate), and now has broken up past the low line and is heading north. The ATR also shows accumulation at its low level.
That’s it for me on my take of changing BEHL dynamics, take it for what it’s worth to you.
This is a 3 month daily showing more prominently the turning point of the upper AD line (dotted square line) and where it has made a change in the last 3 month period. The Acceleration Bands are normally used in a weekly or monthly longer term chart, but are showing a general divergence and a change in extreme price point levels in this shortened time period. One can notice that a “squeeze” has taken place and the extreme upper level has gained a lot more than the extreme lower one.
Now we can see a lot easier with this 3 month chart and take a look at the lower WilliamsAD numbers which some use as a buy or sell indicator and in this depiction shows another good dynamic of a change that has happened with this stock. A quick analysis for the WAD is this, when the pps reaches a new low for the time period taken and a new low for the WAD has not been made, it’s a buy, when there is a new high in pps and the not a higher WAD number, it’s a sell. Again this is for a longer or medium term view for me and other things are used for short term swing trading. But the numbers are this.
For the buy side:
1/19 first pps low of 0.0091 and WAD # was -0.0027
2/25 new pps low of 0.0086 and WAD # was -0.0045 = did break the WAD low, not buy
3/16 new pps low of 0.0080 and WAD # was -0.0040 = didn’t break the WAD low, buy (dynamic change)
Sell side:
Haven’t got a new pps high for the period, but only have a higher high and if you take that number the WAD # did break the previous number so not a sell.
Meaning that I might want to keep what I have and accumulate at the right price. Correlates to current low volume due to many people don’t want to sell for the going rate and want to buy more for the low rate. Not that many shares given out for the low rate, unlike three months ago in which it was reversed. “They” will have to do a scare tactic, force the price down, “shake” some shares loose from the timid so that ones with higher risk tolerances (such as myself) and the bigger money can accumulate more shares. There is some short term TA’s saying that they might do that. Watch for head fake break of triangle downward (pennant or whatever way one wants to draw two lines), short lived and true break up. Get ready with the tissues and the anti depressants, escape route, or the ear plugs and extra cash, your choice. Of course that’s only one possibility, definitely not promising, just something that might happen and very often does. Could always just go down a bit from here or just break up, but I don’t think IMO things are going to stay the same.
Here are charts showing Hump and Dump, Accumulation, and some of the changes in the dynamics technically that I’ve been looking at and some of the things I look at with finding beat down stocks that might have a good chance in coming back or one of the few that were described at the end of the video I posted and if you haven’t watched it, I think one should (it’s very short).
If you were really that good, you should have been explaining and being that good Samaritan way before those prices talking about a P&D. This video has been around and posted here and there, but it's a really good video and I recommend highly to watch, maybe watch at least twice. A pretty good summary done with some whim and whit and entertaining even for ones who already know.
Make sure that you watch the whole thing, even after you think he's done. Like I've said before, I look for treasures that have been kicked to the curb, so it's everyones own decisions process to decide if BEHL is one of the few.
Want to say it good to have you on board and good to have one more poster that can post some intelligent thought processes and recognition of realities when it comes to this stock. Another part in what is getting to be a pretty good board, at least above average board that one usually sees.
My wife also was in the lending business for about 25 years, and I in RE and other business for about the same so I can relate to a lot to what you were saying. My daughter just turned 33 Thurs and I still remember when I got here a job working for WF brokerage service 14 years ago and she is still there, only she has come a long way in level of expertise and position. We talk all the time and relate a lot of things about start up companies and industry and the difficulty that a company has to face getting anything going. It's not easy and there is no sure fast process and are no guarantees. It takes massive amount of funds, a good product or idea, determination to never give up, and a lot of luck and time to continue the process.
But I believe, at least technically, that I would have to place myself in the school of thought that we are not stagnant but very dynamic at this point. Yes, at first look depending on what two dates you take for pps, one can say, look at the price, its the same as 3 months ago, WTF? But, I argue that we are the change (the last three months) and the dynamics have changed dramatically and the force of direction for pps has reversed. I'll post a chart showing some more on this later, but given the fundamental changes that have also changed dramatically with the company the last 3 months, we have now experienced what will later be history and recognized as the main turning point of this company, including the pps in an upward trend.
Now you may be right we may remain at this point for some time to come, but I really hate to be wrong so I hope I'm not. It makes me work to hard to find out why I was. Of course I don't think we'll have .15 in the next year, but I do foresee .02-.03 withing the next few months and that is over 100% for me in a very short time. Nothing that big and I do my real "flipping" elsewhere and this is not a "flipping" stock for the most part.
I am a gambler I admit and my risk tolerance is higher than average, but I do put effort into risk calculations in order to win at least most of the time. I guess thats the meaning of "speculative" investing. Go BEHL.
PS: I also got originally in this stock due to PSC and played the play several times for what it was. But they are just part of the business, Hump and dump, create a lot of loss for a lot of good people, give out a lot of expensive lessons, and sometimes destroy good companies. They are what they are, power to them for making good money on their business -- free enterprise, and I don't put them down for that. But they do get paid well for their effort and no thanks are needed from me or anyone else. I'd much rather them stay away now; plenty of other places to be to make the same. Just my take.
Great Pics there Gofer, I believe everyone here appreciates them greatly (I think even gator likes them even if he won't admit it ). You found the trick of downloading into a larger pixel format. Lot's better, no need for enlarging process and better quality, may even want to go down a size for posting. Now all you have to do is copy and paste the code under "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" and you have a pic in your post (right click mouse, highlight, copy then right click mouse and paste), which is all I did here. Nice pic for the Ibox BB. Great impression and thanks again for any work you do on that.
This should be interesting, maybe some good info coming.

I always get mine. Wonder what it is that some do some don't other than junk mail issues.
T Bone Pickens about oil and ng on Bloomberg now and talking about demand for oil will soon pass the ability for supply, price of oil definitely will be going up as demand outpaces supply. Also talking about need for clean energy; wind, biofuel, etc.(along with more drilling) here in USA. Something like 85 billion gal of oil capability for getting it, and it will soon be 87 billion gal needed on supply side. He stated this is not speculation, just facts. Oil price up, demand for other sources here in the US up and will in the near future come to pass.
There are people at lower levels that are holding also (count me as one of them). Way to many of my bullish TA's turning up, crossing, etc. My chart says up. Not selling here, may keep quite a few LT.
Whoops, duplication, deleted.
That was good business, many of us that understood what a P&D and the market is and able to do something similar and I commend you on being there with that. I was just answering your other question of;
" JB, if I would have purchased Behl at .01
on 12-31-2009, and sold those same shares at
.01 on 3-31-2010, where is the 15% profit?"
That was the only place I could think where it went since the last sold price then was .01 and the last sold price today was .0114 and .0114-.01=.0014 and .0014/.01=14% (close to 15%). Sorry if I was being a little blunt, never was that good at pr. Seemed like there was a little confusion of what supply and demand was, but glad you have it under control. Again, no offense meant, sure don't want to get into any p*$$ing contest, I concede. One doesn't need me to explain, plenty of life lessons out there already. Have a good one man and good luck. Go BEHL.
It went with your lack of prudence and good business, no offense. Why in the heck would you want to buy for the high then and sell for the low now. I explained that in my last post, but nevermind.
My point really is that one really can't take a couple of numbers out of the air like that. Have to take too many things into consideration. Things like worth in general or average price of what the the shares are being sold for, the fact pps was coming down from long down trend and leveling off for the last three months (no solid V, doesn't usually happen like that) and set to go back up, maybe making the double bottom. Have to look at what is the company doing, progressing, etc. But the chart looks normal and I had hoped in my previous charts I showed some positive factors of what the pps is doing and IMO what it is about to do. The near future of pps will be a more telling story. Behleve or not to behleve, that is the question. But I'll be happy to buy any .01 sells off of you. I was only paying .008-.009 back then.
No flipping, I'm talking longs also. If one flipped the return would have been considerably more depending how many times one did it. I was just talking worth of held stocks. Last week of December worth about 15% less than the last trading week of March. Just the numbers, easy to pick one number out, but doesn't in reality say what they are worth. In three months, shares of BEHL have an average worth of about 15% more than they were 3 months ago. Unless you particularly want to buy for a penny (the high then) and sell for a penny (the low now)but wouldn't be prudent due to that week you could get millions of shares less than a penny and you couldn't the last 5 trading days, but you could sell for over a penny the last 5 trading days and you couldn't the last 5 trading days of last December. Facts are facts, numbers are numbers. Shares of BEHL are worth more now than then.
For the week ending 12-31-09 vs week ending 3-31-10 the bulk of the shares were going for about 15% higher for this week vs the last of last year. True supply and demand is what you can get for most of your holdings and a general price average. I'd say a 15% gain in 3 months is a pretty positive sign and better than one could get in any bank. Along with the reversal that is now taking place, I'm good with it.
It seems to me that he is only listening to the sound bites from the after the speech news. Thats for big business and big money pacification and just normal. I listened to the whole speech, and that was just a small part of the whole thing. A lot of talk in pursuing bio and forcing the industry and science to forefront and the oil drilling is just to fill the gap in time. Wait and see.
Obama speaking at this moment right in front of the "Green Hornet" jet and speaking on clean energy and talking about biofuels and "homegrown" options. Will be putting BIG support to that aspect. Within the next few days, the jet will be breaking the sound barrier for the first time on the biofuel. Stating ALL planes and ships, etc will be running on it within the next 10 years.
A triple bottom has to be more defined and can be mixed up with other patterns, but when it does happen, I believe the failure rate is quite low, less than 5%. The double bottom has a little more leeway and it will signal a reversal of a long trend down to a breakout and nice trend up.
Remember Friday is Good Friday, stocks won't be doing much , nor will any news. One of the reasons the market has been kind of slow -- short week.

Note the date.
Add a zero and decimal point, sorry. Actually if it is a double bottom and if it breaks the resistance of about .0175 it the target point is about .027
Another bullish point that I forgot to mention, the 10 day has gone up every day for about eight days now, with the 20 up as well in the same period of time. 50 day has flattened right out, with the pps and the 100 and 200 converging. With us being in a retrace and slight downtrend, I'll call it a good sign.
Somebody mentioned this some posts back and I don’t remember who, but since us chartist have to be always drawing some lines (wife still won’t let me draw on the walls anymore), I drew some lines in this chart to portray the thought. Now given, it’s not the defined classic case picture that Google will give you, but the reality of it all, it many times isn’t that perfect picture when it comes to getting stock patterns, one has to keep a certain amount of imagination and perception when it comes to seeing some of this. It’s more fun that way anyway. So here’s to entertaining the thought to the double bottom. We have regular candles, months of downtrend before this, two distinct matching lows, and a bunch of stuff thrown in. Never know, it might happen, still have to wait for the breakout of resistance and it may take a month or two, but it’s possible given everything else going on. At least I believe we have a reversal in the big picture, but I could always be wrong, so make your own decisions.
Gooood morning fellow Behlievers, thought I’d post a couple of graphs showing a couple of things (one has to look at many). Again everything in my eyes and one has to look at things their way, and I haven’t got my ten cups of coffee in me (just kidding, only half that) but my eyes might still be blurred. I realize that people get a little grouchy when the pps goes down and one sees red candles, kind of like when it rains for a while and a day or two before the sun comes out and it gets hard to not let some of the tension out. Just a reminder though, it’s healthy for chart to not always go up and pause downward a bit to catch a breath. This breath of BEHL I don’t see as that bad and still have some definite bullish signals happening. The chart may have a little more air to bring in for a few days and continue this course, but I don’t see it as anything to get worked up over as of yet. But I’m a gambler sometimes and will raise when other people fold and pick up some more shares if the opportunity rises.
First off on this 3 month daily we have Heikin Ashi candles with yesterday being a really small body and long stems on both sides indicating end of trend or leveling off. Long green w/upper stems – trend up, long red w/stems down – trend down. We could still see some up or down movement, but definitely different than the downtrends for the last six months or so. We also have not got the PPS down arrow still and we may not get it. It was flashing yesterday with the take down, but didn’t stay and one has to wait for the end of the period to be sure, in this case the day close. The thick orange (fast) and thin blue (slow) lines are the PPS (Pearson’s Proprietary Studies) Moving Averages. As I said before, the crossing of those two moving averages usually happens during or after the arrow for confirmation. So it’s a bullish signal without the down arrow as of yet. We may still get it or it may be a signal that the uptrend isn’t done.
I have customized my own Moving Average that would be similar to an adaptive MA (thick greenish line) and tailored to give a faster signal at the top and bottom than the PPS arrows since they are a bar or two lagging for my taste so when my MA changes angle or direction and later cross the other MA’s it will show the beginning of a trend down, up, or flat a bar or two sooner with the PPS following behind for confirmation. Still has to be correlated with other TA’s. My MA will turn faster than crap goes through a goose and drive through the other MA’s in a half a day’s action, so given the trend candle, low volume, and other indicators, it possibly could signal a breakout of the triangle and continuation of the upward trend by the middle to end of next week, who knows it could always be sooner, later, or not at all. I also have drawn in some red lines that are tangent to certain MA points showing lessening of angle, and the last one almost flat and at a higher level. This gives substantiation to the bottom being set and looks to me like a higher low and definitely a higher high and just maybe ready to rock n roll.
Down below the CCI is still positive and may or may not break into a little negative territory (nothing bad about a little). The BollingerBandwidth I use with the RSI part and AD line for convergence/divergence correlation and it is showing some interesting signs for breakout also. RSI normal (color is blue), and AD line a bit positive with decreasing pps (sort of) and converging bulge (top) and squeeze (bottom) lines is saying to me we may have a calm before a storm and changes may be in the wind.
Don’t mean to run on forever, and there is a whole menagerie of TA’s to look at and decipher, but my eyes see some possible good things in the near future, no matter what the pps does in the next few days. Of course barring some meteor doesn’t come down and hit the PBR or other really bad news, nothing is ever a sure thing in the stock market and sh*! happens.
+1 Patience pays the big bucks.
Not me, this is what I wait for. Run, run, run cowards.
Got a couple of my .01's. Come to Grandpa.
A few trades went through, for a minute I thought we might be beating out record low for a year, which was made this year at 924,405 shares.
No lie. At least they didn't bring it right back down after it, that says something.
Thanks for that. "In Touch" the noun.
Plus, I just like messing with them sometimes.
That was me both times, was getting bored and testing some code out, wanted to see if anyone was there, and things were working. Got a bunch of free trades from TDA recently (great customer service), so it didn't cost me nothing.
