Any of you notice the trading volumes have increased 10 times over the previous trading history within the last few trading days?

Any thoughts, bounce maybe? Fell quite a bit Friday
Interesting read. Lee Iacocca paid back every bit of the money he borrowed from the government to save Chrysler. Now he's written this book and it looks like a good one.
Lee Iacocca Says:
'Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder! We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, 'Stay the course. '
S tay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America, not the damned, 'Titanic'. I'll give you a sound bite: 'Throw all the bums out!'
You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore.
The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs. While we're fiddling in Iraq , the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving 'pom-poms' instead of asking hard questions. That's not the promise of the 'America' my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about you? I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm ready and willing to have. The Biggest 'C' is Crisis! (Iacocca elaborates on nine C's of leadership, with crisis being the first.) Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It's easy to sit there with your feet up on the desk and talk theory. Or send someone else's kids off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down. On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. A hell of a mess, so here's where we stand.
We're immersed in a bloody war with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving. We're running the biggest deficit in the history of the country. We're losing the manufacturing edge to Asia, while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and nobody in power has a coherent energy policy. Our schools are in trouble. Our borders are like sieves. The middle class is being squeezed every which way. These are times that cry out for leadership. But when you look around, you've got to ask: 'Where have all the leaders gone?' Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, omnipotence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point. Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo? We've spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened. Name me one leader who emerged from the crisis of Hurricane Katrina. Congress has yet to spend a single day evaluating the response to the hurricane or demanding accountability for the decisions that were made in the crucial hours after the storm. Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping it doesn't happen again. Now, that's just crazy. Storms happen. Deal with it. Make a plan. Figure out what you're going to do the next time.
Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when 'The Big Three' referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, what are we going to do about it? Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debit, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry. I have news for the gang in Congress. We didn't elect you to sit on your asses and do nothing and remain silent while our democracy is being hijacked and our greatness is being replaced with mediocrity. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bonehead on Fox News will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some spine for a change? Had Enough? Hey, I'm not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I'm trying to light a fire. I'm speaking out because I have hope - I believe in America. In my lifetime, I've had the privilege of living through some of America 's greatest moments. I've also experienced some of our worst crises: The 'Great Depression,' 'World War II,' the 'Korean War,' the 'Kennedy Assassination,' the 'Vietnam War,' the 1970's oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years culminating with 9/11. If I've learned one thing, it's this: 'You don't get anywhere by standing on the sidelines waiting for somebody else to take action. Whether it's building a better car or building a better future for our children, we all have a role to play. That's the challenge I'm raising in this book. It's a "Call to Action" for people who, like me, believe in America'. It's not too late, but it's getting pretty close. So let's shake off the crap and go to work. Let's tell 'em all we 've had 'enough.' Make your own contribution by sending this to everyone you know and care about. It's our country, folks, and it's our future. Our future is at stake!!

Whew
I do still check on it though
I Updated the i-Box a little
Gee, what happened to burp?
I guess there isn't a lot of reason to hang around this board
I found this line rather amusing
"Other than the litigation described above, we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against our Company or our officers and directors in their capacity as such that could have a material impact on our operations or finances."
Looks like other than being sued by every vender OTG had, plus Laurus
What would you sue them for? Were the facts of the condition of the company hidden from you or were they properly represented in SEC filings. Were the press releases
misrepresenting the facts or were they accurate? Were you improperly influenced to invest by any representative of the company?
World Cargo News article
Sorry I can't post the whole article
http://www.worldcargonews.com/htm/n20081211.757273.htm
Published: November 2008
Eko-Flor ready for the off
Toronto-based Conforce International says it is ready “to push the button” with its revolutionary, patent pending Eko-Flor composite container flooring material.
Over the past six months, Conforce has been working closely with a major container shipping line on a number of enhancements to the original product and that process has culminated in the development of Eko-Flor cs, a lighter panel with a better than 15% weight advantage over conventional plywood flooring....
From the Yahoo Board
The latest World Cargo News has an article about EKO-FLOR. It's interesting.
"The Eko-Flor is currently being manufactured in limited volumes at a Conforce-owned facility in Canada. An earlier manufacturing agreement with Royal Group Technologies, one of North
America’s largest PVC extruders, has been scrapped and Conforce is taking steps to establish manufacturing facilities in the main container manufacturing hubs in China."
Conforce also has a quarter-page ad in the magazine.
Looks like bamboo is now the alternative to beat.
EKO-FLOR now has a weight advantage over apitong and even more over bamboo.
It takes nearly 2 years before the initial EKO-FLOR cost premium is offset by routine savings.
"We conservatively estimate that Eko Flor will last at least 20 years...."
That's a pretty big claim.
The EKO-FLOR thickness now matches that of apitong flooring. The installation cost is lower. However, EKO-FLOR requires a special paste to repair.
Also, they claim they've lowered the manufacturing cost.
CFRI Investor Update for December 10, 2008
Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to provide you with this "CFRI Investor Update".
As the Company grows closer to realizing its goal of changing the way containers are made, it has embarked on the following initiatves:
Hamburg 2008
Conforce executives and advisors returned from Hamburg Germany where high level meetings were held with prospective customers. Notwithstanding the global economic downturn which has adversely affected the shipping industry, the Conforce contingent was able to accomplish their objectives. CEO Marino Kulas said "the trip was a complete success. We look forward to sharing the results with Shareholders in the New Year". The Company is confident that subject to the successful completion of trials, substantial volume commitments will be secured in 2009.
Product Enhancements
Based on product evaluation feedback, the Company was able to further enhance its EKO-FLOR design and material profile over the last few months. The result is a significant reduction in weight. The Company is pleased to report that EKO-FLOR cs-4 is now 15% lighter than Apitong plywood and over 30% lighter than Bamboo flooring. Apitong plywood is the current industry standard for shipping containers while Bamboo represents the largest alternative flooring material in use with an estimated market share of approximately 5% or 200,000 - 20ft equivalent containers per annum. Based on its key product benefits and distinct weight advantage, Conforce is confident that it can establish its premium EKO-FLOR composite as the industry's leading alternative flooring solution.
Production Process Centre
The Company is also pleased to announce that it has established a new Production Process Centre in Toronto Ontario. In addition to research and development of new products, the 13,000 sq. ft. state- of-the-art facility will be used for extensive testing of the Company's advanced EKO-FLOR technologies. The facility will also serve as a manufacturing centre for the Company's specialized military container product as well as for limited quantity runs of its EKO-FLOR cs-4 panels.
Patent Portfolio
With respect to its EKO-FLOR patent portfolio, the Company has engaged the services of one of Canada's top patent firms, Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP. A patent application has recently been filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to be followed by patent applications in Canada, Asia and Europe.
EKO-FLOR Print Ads
In order to build on the momentum the EKO-FLOR brand has recently built, Conforce commenced an industry awareness campaign which saw placement of half-page advertisements in the intermodal editions of both World Cargo News and Containerisation International, two highly regarded industry publications. To view an enlarged version of the advertisement, please click on the image.
As always, we thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Conforce International, Inc.
I don't own this stock. I only follow it because of the connection to On The Go. I don't even mess with these otc stocks because the cards just seem to be stacked against the shareholder. Everyone involved seems to be dreaming about the future with little concern for the realities. The promotional web sites and the equity financiers are not dreaming believe me. They need a market to sell those shares they have received and you are that market. One of the major debt holders of this company has an agreement to convert debt into shares at 75% of the best available bid. Here is that paragraph from the filing
"Between October 14, 2008 and October 24, 2008, an existing investor converted $1,710,000 principal and interest amount of a promissory note into an aggregate of 15,200,000 shares of our common stock, at a conversion rate of $0.1125 per share. Payments under the note are convertible into shares of our common stock at seventy five percent of the lowest closing best bid prices of our common stock for the fifteen trading days prior to the conversion date"
That means he can always get shares 25% cheaper than you are willing to pay. How can you win? Is this wrong or illegal, no. That debtholder has put up his money and will get paid. It is all there in black and white . They are also using shares to pay for all this promotion. It is on the disclaimers for these stock pumping web sites. They will not wait while the management pulls it all together and makes the dream a reality. They will sell those shares.
Do yourself a favor and unsubscribe from all of those email lists. Stocks on the nyse are so cheap now you can make money if you are willing to do the work. You can get in and out in seconds and that system will only kill you if you buy and blindfold yourself. Don't be afraid of a small loss. Don't dream of the big killing. Accept reasonable gains and sleep at night. Good luck to you and remember you can never learn too much,no time on dd is wasted. I hope this company is successful, but the odds are against it.
Boy am I a windbag or what?

Just found an email in my spam box from stockguru pumping vtlp. That was one of the pump sites On The Go used
I owned almost every incarnation of On The GO healthcare. They diluted my position down to zero. It was my own fault, I believed the press instead of the sec filings. Metro One Development is I believe a shell created by the same management. I owned it for about 6 hours, flipped some shares. Vital products is a spinoff of the original product line from On The Go. They have abandonded that product line in favor of packaging which I think they are more familiar with. I can't make judgements about Vital's management. Read the filings, read the auditors notes. That was one thing I learned from On The Go. They were actually very helpful in my efforts to educate myself about the Sec.
This company has to get money from somewhere. That is a fact.
Hoping for something to happen is fine but you may be waiting for a long time.
And some more, pump baby pump

This is the same path all the incarnations of his former companies took. Get the stock holders to pay off the debt.
Much different finiancial environment today though. Reading the latest filing I can't imagine buying a share in this with anything but monopoly money.

Not surprised at all to see where this is at though.

Quarterly Financial Statement for the 3 month period ended Sept. 30 2008
http://www.pinksheets.com/otciq/ajax/showFinancialReportById.pdf?id=18560
Hope has nothing to do with the stock market, they are millions in debt. That is a fact. They will either issue more stock to pay off financing if they can get any or go away
Some excerps from the 10KSB
Revenues:
For the year ended July 31, 2008, our revenues decreased by 70.4%, or $36,182, to $15,208 as compared to $51,390 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007. The decrease in revenues was primarily the result of our not having enough sales people selling our child care products, which resulted in fewer sales to existing customers. In addition, as a result of the foreign currency exchange, we were less competitive to customers located in the United States.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of July 31, 2008, we had total current assets of $2,802 and total current liabilities of $2,155,893, resulting in a working capital deficit of $2,153,091. As of that date, we had cash of $2,802. Our cash flow from operating activities for the year ended July 31, 2008 resulted in a deficit of $4,772 which was primarily the result of a reduction in overall sales, which thereby decreased our ability to generate cash flow from our operations.
As of July 31, 2008, we had a $1,766,210 note payable and a $292,083 advance to Metro One Development, Inc., payable on demand. We do not know when Metro One Development, Inc. will demand payment on this advance. However, should Metro One Development, Inc. demand payment, we would need additional capital to repay this obligation.
As part of our acquisition of assets from Metro One Development, Inc. (formerly On The Go Healthcare, Inc.), we agreed to issue $250,000 worth of our common stock and two promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $1,005,000. On February 23, 2006, we replaced the original promissory notes and issued to Metro One Development, Inc. two Secured Promissory Notes with a face value of $1,206,000. The increase from $1,005,000 to $1,206,000 represents a full year of accrued interest. Although a full year of interest had not yet accrued, we agreed to include interest of $201,000 as opposed to $128,860 as consideration for replacing the original note. We must repay the Secured Promissory Notes one year from March 11, 2008, the date our registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Until that time, on July 3, 2006 and each anniversary thereafter, the face value of the Secured Promissory Notes will increase by 20% until such time as the Secured Promissory Notes are paid in full. The Secured Promissory Notes pay 20% simple annual interest. We may prepay the Secured Promissory Notes at any time, with accrued interest and without penalty. At the year ended July 31, 2007, the Secured Promissory Notes had a principal balance of $1,447,200.
Until such a time when we are able to generate positive cash flows from operations in an amount sufficient to cover our current liabilities and debt obligations as they become due, we will remain reliant on borrowing funds or selling equity.
We intend to raise funds through the issuance of debt or equity. Raising funds in this manner typically requires significant time and effort to find accredited investors, and the terms of such an investment must be negotiated for each investment made. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to raise sufficient funds to meet our obligations. If we do not raise sufficient funds, our operations will be curtailed or will cease entirely and you may lose all of your investment
I would have included some of the positives if I could have found any.
TORONTO--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 13, 2008 -- Conforce International, Inc. (Other OTC:CFRI.PK - News) ("Conforce" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that from December 1st - 5th, a contingent of five Conforce executives and advisors will be in Hamburg, Germany to attend a series of scheduled meetings with executives from international shipping lines.
Preparations have been made by the Company to accommodate customers in a private conference facility during the 2008 Intermodal Show. Conforce President and Chief Executive Officer Marino Kulas explained that "the objective of our customer specific meetings in Hamburg is to secure EKO-FLOR business for 2009. We consider this to be a crucial and exciting stage in the sales cycle and we look forward to meeting with key executives who support the need for change."
The Company also announced that EKO-FLOR will be featured in the November Intermodal edition of World Cargo News in an article written by Chris Munford based on his recent in-depth interview with Conforce President & CEO Marino Kulas.

Congress, White House reach financial bailout deal
Sunday September 28, 12:41 am ET
By Charles Babington, Associated Press Writer
Congress leaders, Bush administration reach tentative deal on financial bailout deal
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congressional leaders and the Bush administration have reached a tentative deal on a bailout of imperiled financial markets that could cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars.
The House could vote on it Sunday and the Senate on Monday. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the accord just after midnight Saturday and said it still has to be put on paper. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson talked of finalizing the deal but added: "I think we're there."
The plan would spend up to $700 billion, most of it on buying deeply devalued mortgages from the housing market's collapse and other bad loans held by tottering banks and other investors.
The aim is to prevent credit from drying up and causing a meltdown of the U.S. economy.

FRE
I've only owned this 2 weeks but I've flipped it 3 times already
twice I skimmed off cash and rebought my share count. I bought shares of WAG with the money ( reporting Monday, and they do pay a divi )Every share I hold of WAG I concider to be free because each share was bought with profit from FRE, Or from flipping WAG itself. I'm still up 3&1/2 times and own more shares of FRE than I started with
once I sold and rebought more on a dip ( Level 2 a must )
To say this has been a wild ride would be a gross understatement

I'm gonna hold onto this one for a while I think.
If it recovers even 1/3 of it's value in 10 years I'll be quite well off
