This tanker is leaking bigger than the Exxon Valdez!
Not worth pumping, thats for sure!
Up more than .5 since buying into the California market!
had my ol' heart a racin' there for a minute...
lol
One word... EGO
You got that right, Porgie.
But you are assuming that "books" even exist! I think these pink scams are run on the back of a cocktail napkin (or maybe a roll of TP if they need more storage space)
Press release!
Sonic Healthcare Buys California Clinical Pathology Laboratory Company
January 17, 2011
This Medical Laboratory Acquisition Positions Sonic in Nation’s Largest Lab Testing Market
Sonic Healthcare, Ltd. (ASX: SHL) acquired Physicians Automated Laboratory, Inc., (PAL) of Bakersfield, California, in a transaction that closed December 31, 2010. With this acquisition, Sonic Healthcare gains its first medical laboratory in California—the nation’s largest and most competitive market for clinical laboratory testing services.
Physicians Automated Laboratory was founded in 1967. It employs about 210 people and handles approximately 2,000 patient tests daily. One of the last of the pathologist-owned and operated local laboratory companies, PAL has two primary owners who are nearing retirement. Pathologist and Medical Director William Schmalhorst, M.D., is 80 years old. Chief Executive Officer C. Bruce Smith is 65 years old.
As of press time, Sonic Healthcare had not issued a press announcement about this acquisition. News of Sonic’s purchase of PAL was reported by the Bakersfield Californian newspaper last week.
Clinical Laboratory Acquisition Puts Sonic Healthcare in Central California
Although PAL is a modest-sized clinical laboratory business, it gives Sonic Healthcare a central location from which to build further business in California. Located at the southern end of the Central Valley, PAL is within a two-hour drive to the heavily populated counties of Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, San Bernadino, and Riverside. Going north, PAL’s location in Bakersfield is about a four to five-hour drive to the large population centers of Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay area.
Sonic Healthcare’s acquisition of Physicians Automated Laboratory comes about six weeks after its most recent acquisition. On November 8, 2010, Sonic announced that it would pay US$123.5 million to purchase CBLPath, Inc., headquartered in Ocala, Florida. CBLPath has annual revenues of about $80 million. CBLPath primarily offers a test menu of anatomic pathology assays.
Sonic’s last acquisition of a clinical laboratory company was about 12 months ago. In December 2009, Sonic Healthcare purchased East Side Clinical Laboratory, in Providence, Rhode Island. Earlier in 2009, Sonic Healthcare acquired Axiom Labs (Tampa, Florida) and Piedmont Medical Labs (Winchester, Virginia) in June and August, respectively.
September 24th to December 31 = 101 days.
Aren't presidents usually graded at the 100 day mark?
And JD doesn't have a country to run, just a multi-hundred dollar corporation! Shouldn't we have a state of the company report by now?
You ARE good, Ben.
With PR like that, I think you could pump this up to a dollar a share (Canadian dollar most likely). lol!
I think we might see flying pigs...
or hell freezing over...
There is very little left to dilute!
There is so much more to look at, but my purpose here is not to convince you or any of the other stockholders, only to express my observation that Welch seems to be the common element in a numer of "failed business" ventures that just happen to leave empty shells that once housed fortunes of investor dollars. Seems that a non-scam company would procure some assets with investor dollars not just pi$$ those dollars away on salaries and expenses that create no value for the company, only wealth for a few key players. If it looks like a pig...
Dead in here!
Hello? Anybody still here?
Even the "longs" have given up.
Lanza, I've never even met you, but I don't like you!
I didn't get kissed... Did anybody get kissed? I thought you were supposed to get kissed after you got $crewed...
What? Is my naïveté showing???
Just so no one is confused, this is all written in tongue-in-cheek quotes...
I'm sittin' there with you!
Just hope this rowboat floats long enough for some of your predictions (wishes?) to come to fruition. Not expecting it to hold water that long, but patiently(?) waiting...
But the evidence is overwhelming!
If it looks like a pig... and smells like a pig...
I don't give a tinker's damn how much lipstick you put on it!
WRONG!
All those companies give a fair, professionally audited accounting of the companies' financial situation. We're not talking about giving away trade secrets or strategic plans, we're talking about accounting for the use of funds provided by the OWNERS of the corporation: the STOCKHOLDERS. Just because one trades ones money for a share of ownership in a corporation does not mean that one relinquishes one's right to control of the corporation. In truth, JD should never have been given the CEO spot without an appointment by a board of directors elected by the majority of shareholder votes. QASP cannot be used in the same sentence as blue chip companies like those you mentioned... except, maybe, as an antithesis...
You think there are any towels left???
You have an interesting perspective on what constitutes illeagal insider trading. I doubt that ANYTHING in the stinky pink quagmire falls into that category from the SEC's point of view. But even if this was a blue-chip, information about the financial health of the company is not considered insider information; it is considered absolutely essential to be openly and honestly disseminated to current and potential investors.
NJMO - its the law!
I wish I had some of that smart money!
My money is sooo dumb... (HOW DUMB IS IT???)
My money is so dumb it decided that having already been reduced to pennies on the dollar, it might as well just stick it out until it disappeared altogether! After all, the new "CEO" was a former pumper with no real credentials (but no published criminal record either) who was/is hell-bent to turn this thing around…. What have I got to lose???… oh, yeah… my dumb money!
Volunteering...
Isn't that usually done for charitable, non-profits...
Oh, wait a minute, QASP is definitely non-profit.
And I guess you could say it was charitable to DB...
i dunno...
wasn't it Baily's new company that was interested in acquiring the Humble project? Can't imagine him waiting for years...
Still heading back to the $12 range...
more than likely, you are correct.
"hittin' the skids with nothin' to sell"... could probably record a hip-hop song with those lyrics...lol.
With no money to pay them, I'd say the personnel roster is pretty slim these days.
Younger sounding thatn DB? hmmm
Who out there do we know who works for free??? Other thatn JD, of course!

Dean???
lol
got a promotion:CEO to message taker!
Absolutely agree!
Another one of Welch's famous P&D.
The only one getting wealthy here is Welch!
Perfect???
Right?
PT Barnum was RIGHT!
Nothing sudden about it...'
Juat a lot of stuckhoders trying to get rid of their garbage, imo.
Those of us that are "long" on this??? can't get out.
was it ever???
I wish I had bought more...
I sold half my Ford stock at 100% profit.
Then it proceeded to go up another $4.
Think that might work with BDGR?
If I sell half, will it go up $4?
Oh, I forgot, no one will BUY my BDGR...
best laid plans...
realism...
Sounds "imminent", doesn't it?
Dean reincarnate, imo
Since when has "legality" played a role in decisions by QASP CEO's?
More important, when has ethics played a role?
My vote is for NEVER!
Couldn't tell you.
I have had a sell order @ .0001 out there since September and have not been able to sell a single share! I just want to take my lumps and unload this POS. It was a lottery ticket anyway, just that NONE of my numbers came up!
I think you are being generous...
Almost never trades??? "Almost" is a very strong modifier in this cse.
This thing is so dead even the worms won't spend time on it.
Except for the worm that started it.
no chance for a resurection here...imo
New year... same trend
dropping like a rock
New year... same trend

Don't bet on it.
Bottom still has... oh, I'd say about .0799 to go...
