Your previous post contains a number of issues that I take don't necessarily agree with. The one that I take personal exception with is the statement, "...Dont be conned on these or any other investment web sites by moderators or PR people, they are all in it and are receiving stock and stock options in lieu of cash to promote worthless companies like this one."
Note my disclaimer at the bottom of my posts, "Not compensated in any manner for research and/or posts. Information should be construed as information only for discussion purposes. Always conduct your own dd. Just my opinion "
If, a person is receiving compensation and is promoting a stock then the person is not only violating I-Hub rules, but Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 by not disclosing the compensation received.

Knight Trading Fraud Information
http://www.knighttradingfraudinfocenter.com/information.php
Knight Trading Group Fraud InfoCenter
Editor?s Note: A glossary is included at the end of this page for terms with an asterisk.
Knight Trading Group, a leading market maker* and asset management firm, is one of Nasdaq?s* biggest players. It is parent company to Knight Securities L.P. The largest comprehensive market maker in the Nasdaq and OTC* (over-the-counter) securities, Knight Securities L.P. is a major participant in those markets.
Why is Knight accused of fraud?
Knight Trading Group has been accused of fraud by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) and is being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for additional fraud charges. Thus far, Knight has denied the allegations against it.
In January 2002, the NASD fined Knight Securities L.P. for violating securities and market law. Knight was accused of neglecting to make accurate reports to the NASD. The NASD claimed that Knight did not adhere to posted quotes. It also accused the firm of violating certain rules pertaining to locked and crossed markets. (A locked market occurs when the ask and bid price for a stock are identical, and a crossed market occurs when the bid price is higher than the ask price. Both situations occur more frequently on the Nasdaq than on other markets.) The NASD claims that Knight committed a number of such violations between 1997 and 2001. Knight was fined $700,000.
In addition, the NASD required Knight to pay $800,000 back to clients who lost money on its OnSale, Inc. stock. The regulatory body cited improper execution of nearly 650 orders as the reason for the fine. Knight paid without admitting liability.
In June of 2002, more charges against Knight arose?this time perpetrated by a former employee, Robert Stellato. When he was head of Knight?s institutional trading, Stellato claims to have witnessed multiple violations of NASD and SEC rules. Among his accusations are allegations of front running stocks, a policy in which traders perform their own transactions ahead of their customers? orders. Front running usually results in a lower price for the trader and a higher price for the customer. Stellato claims that Knight traders engaged in front running with the knowledge of Knight?s CEO, other executives, and the company?s attorney. Knight has denied the allegations.
Also in June 2002, Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. and one of its shareholders filed a lawsuit against Knight, accusing it of front running and stock manipulation. They argue that Knight used illegal practices to keep Applied Digital?s stock prices down, thereby hurting the company and its investors.
What is the current status?
Knight has already paid the fines levied by the NASD for its alleged violations relating to improper reports, mishandling of locked and crossed markets, and the improper handling of OnSale, Inc. orders. The firm paid $700,000 to the NASD and $800,000 to OnSale, Inc. investors.
The SEC is investigating the accusations made by Stellato. A class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who claim they were harmed by Knight?s alleged front running.
Finally, Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. has also filed a suit on behalf of itself and one of its shareholders, accusing Knight of manipulating its stock price.
Just got to love the efforts being made to get more HESG shares.

http://www.transferonline.com/index.cfm?ssl=0&pathid=4&action=default&highlite=0

For those who are too lazy, I've made a screen print of the aforementioned website....
Hmmm. so does that mean that the transfer agent just disclosed information by telephone when
it has a policy of requesting shareholders and issuers to use the e-mail based contact form?
LOL! Now That's Funny!

No, you are actually correct. I've seen the FTD chart's manipulated too. For the casual observer, most of the charts look fine along with the data on dump fail data. Of course in order for the data to be there in the first place, it needs to be reported. Good thing there are people out there like ICE who examines the OTC volume reports and finds even the most basic information is missing. Makes one wonder how all those trades happened. In the meantime longs will need to continue to mark time while waiting for payday.

I partially agree with what you said. However, each time the turds pull stunts like this, the word gets out and people who already have these brokers leave them and go get a new broker and anyone thinking about a broker will be warned by people who have seen this manipulation thing happen first hand. At some point, the turds are going to realize that they are losing customers while at the same time signing up fewer customers. (The reason I have the brokers I have is because they wern't a turd!)
It is after all about the money....

Congratulation HESGers. Just chatted with a friend who uses e-turd. Looks like some of the discussion board talk about trying to figure out who's been incorrectly posting buys as sells might be paying off. My friend just executed a buy at 5 and went through at 5. Good luck to all!

Michael J. Smith, executive director of The Healing Center, plans to open medical marijuana collectives in Kalispell, Polson and Whitefish. – Lido Vizzutti/Flathead Beacon
With distribution locations across the state, Michael Smith claims to have the largest medical marijuana collective in Montana, at least in terms of geographical range. But there is one obvious missing link in his network: Northwest Montana. That’s about to change.
Smith recently finalized a licensing agreement to sell the rights of his Livingston collective to Los Angeles-based Health Sciences Group, Inc. He said it’s the first public partnership collective in Montana.

AXP
Note: Credit CARD Act of 2009 goes into full effect February 2010. Once that happens, I'm thinking that AXP will test the support lines. Also same could be said of a few other banks that issue cards, but AXP primarily is a Credit Card issuer only. While it still has its own "network" it may be impacted by the new legislation. Can you draw a few support lines for AXP?

Mideast Water Crisis Brings Misery, Uncertainty

Adilla Finchaan, 50, checks her drought-stricken land in Latifiyah, about 20 miles south of Baghdad, in this photo taken in July 2009. Below-average rainfall and insufficient water in the Euphrates and Tigris rivers — something the Iraqis have blamed on upstream dams in Turkey and Syria — have left Iraq bone-dry for a second straight year.
----------------------------------------------------------------
January 7, 2010
The Middle East is facing its worst water crisis in decades. For three summers, the annual rains have failed to come. Farmland has dried up across the region in Iraq, Syria, southeast Turkey and Lebanon.
While oil was the resource that defined the last century, water and its scarcity may define this one.
Experts say the climate is warming in the Fertile Crescent, the area of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, contributing to the water shortage and helping to create a new phenomenon — water refugees.

Middle East Water Woes
Droughts for several consecutive years and the damming of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers have the Middle East facing its worst water crisis in decades.

----------------------------------------------------------------
This winter, rain has barely settled into the hard, cracked farmland in northern Syria. There was a time when the fields were green most of the year, but the summer droughts have taken a toll. Farther east is the Badia, a vast rangeland, where thousands of people tend herds of sheep.
Addami is a traditional village where the houses are white domes of baked clay. This summer, Addami was completely abandoned during the driest months.
"There was no water and too much sand," says villager Nofa Hamid, 51, who has been tending sheep since she was a child. "It got into everything, even the kitchen."
"It was crazy; the sand was everywhere this summer," she says.
Life has never been easy in Addami. But Ismar Mohammed, a 43-year-old shepherd wrapped in a black wool robe against the cold, says he was wealthy by local standards as the owner of the area's largest herd.
He had to drive his flock more than 150 miles for water. With no luck and no grass, he had to buy feed for his 275 sheep, and that meant he had to sell some of them to feed the rest.
"No question, I had to do this otherwise they would die, and I had to feed my kids. Before the drought, I used to have 400 head," he says.
"No question, we were doing fine, just except for this drought, which is affecting us very badly," he says."
'Perfect Storm' Creates Water Refugees
More than 160 villages are abandoned now in Syria alone. According to a United Nations report on the drought, 800,000 people have lost their livelihood. Hundreds of thousands left once-fertile land that turned to dust and pitched tents near the big cities, looking for any kind of work

Deborah Amos/NPRNofa Hamid, 51, has been tending sheep since she was a child. Her Syrian village, Addami, was completely abandoned during the driest months of the drought. "It was crazy; the sand was everywhere this summer," she says.
"It's an emergency," says Syrian economist Nabil Sukkar. "If we have two more years of drought, then we do ... have a crisis."
Formerly with the World Bank, Sukkar now heads a private consulting firm for development and investment. He has been researching the emergency, including its economic and social costs.
"I've gone out and I saw some people in the tents. I told them, 'From where you are coming? How do you manage?' They said, 'We find short-term work,' but this is not sustainable," he says.
The mass migration to the cities has created a new community of displaced people across Syria and Iraq.
"Water scarcity is forcing people off the land," says Hussein Amery, an expert on Middle East water management and a professor at the Colorado School of Mines.
He says the policy failures that have made the emergency worse. "Therefore, these refugees are very much water refugees, they are a product of water scarcity in the region," Amery says.
He says the water crisis has been building for years.
"The water refugees are a product of climate change, mismanaged water resources. It's a product of population explosion; it's a lot of things. It's a perfect storm that is wreaking havoc in the rural farming sector of Syria and Iraq," he says.
Changing History Of Outdated Techniques, Waste
Due east of the Syrian capital, Damascus, is the city of Palmyra, a popular tourist destination. The city's ancient Roman ruins are a draw for Japanese tourists — and a livelihood for the locals.
Palmyra, hit hard by the drought, is also the headquarters for the Syrian government response. Emergency measures include food aid for families and low-cost loans for farmers.
At the government office for development, Mohsan Nahas says Palmyra is experimenting with new water-saving techniques.
"I have talked about the oasis we've been setting up. That's being done with drip irrigation," he says.
Nahas offers visitors a slideshow to illustrate what he is up against — a dust storm so large it could be seen from space on Google Earth. Conditions on the ground were intolerable: Sand blew into houses, mixing with food and affecting people's eyesight.
With the widespread drought, a food crisis is looming. For the first time, Syria now has to import wheat.
Sukkar, the economist, says things won't get better unless the country changes a history of wasteful water management and outdated farming techniques.
"Unfortunately, we haven't introduced modern technology, and so we are dependent on rainfall, period," he says.
Politics, Not Climate, At Root Of Problem
But rainfall, or lack of it, is not the only culprit, he says. Syria and Iraq blame Turkey's huge network of dams on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers for reducing water supplies by 50 percent.
Turkey is the site of the headwaters of a river system that Syria and Iraq depend on. An informal agreement determines the flow downstream.
"When we had bad relations with Turkey, they reduced the flow of water despite the agreement, and now, thank God, we have excellent relations with Turkey, and hopefully, we will not see any cutoff of water," Sukkar says.
Turkey says there is enough water for everyone, but Syria and Iraq waste their share. Amery, the water expert, says the Turks are partly right.
"The issue is water but it goes far beyond water," he says.
Amery says the key to head off a water crisis is more efficient management of a scarce resource. But he adds politics, not climate, is the problem.
"A lot of Arabs believe that Turkey is trying to assert itself as a regional superpower," he says, "and water is being used as a tool to advance that interest."
