DAVID WEIDNER'S WRITING ON THE WALL
Don't bet against him
Commentary: A disgraced trader will find open arms in the financial world
PrintE-mailDisable live quotesRSSDigg itDel.icio.usBy David Weidner, MarketWatch
Last Update: 11:46 AM ET Mar 8, 2007
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Nick Leeson, the rogue trader who brought down Barings Bank in the early 1990s, wants to make a comeback in the business that made him famous.
His timing, for once, couldn't be better.
Leeson, 40, told Bloomberg on March 2 that he is contemplating a return to full-time trading turning his back on his recent career as an author, marketer for an Irish soccer club and motivational speaker.
For now, Leeson says he might only play with his own money, but you never know. "You wouldn't believe how many people have asked me to manage their money," he was quoted as saying.
Leeson, through a spokesman, declined to talk about the report and motivate anyone.
Isn't it funny how time softens our impressions about people? Nick Leeson contemplating a return to trading is kind of like Donald Rumsfeld considering another crack at Iraq or Jeff Skilling thinking about a return to management, or a sequel to "Gigli."
But what better time could there be for a man who once stole $1 billion to make bad currency bets. The road to redemption has been paved of late by ex-former analyst Henry Blodget, ex-former investment banker Frank Quattrone and I-promise-this-hedge-fund-won't-require-a-multi-billion-dollar-bailout John Meriwether.
If the Police can reunite for a tour, surely Leeson can make a stop in Singapore. After all, Judas Priest played a few dozen reunion dates a couple of years ago.
Due diligence
In an era where Wall Street is slowly peeling back the rules and regulators, imagine the kind of wheeling and dealing Leeson could do. Think: Rogue Group Trading LLC in Stamford, Conn.
When I spoke to Leeson a couple of years ago, Sarbanes Oxley was just kicking in. Leeson was the keynote at a conference on compliance. He said many financial institutions were vulnerable to the kind of rogue trading he practiced. See full story.
"Due diligence kind of sums it up," he said. "There wasn't any at Barings at the time. There were very simple checks that could have been done at the time. None were done."
Surely Leeson could thrive in an environment where compliance officers at major Wall Street firms are indicted in insider trading schemes.
Last week's insider case netted 14 people alleged to have swindled $15 million by trading on bank info gleaned in part by Randi Collatta, an compliance attorney at Morgan Stanley (MS)
And should he think it's just an isolated incident, Leeson should know that the Securities and Exchange Commission prosecuted 46 insider trading cases last fiscal year. In fact, there were 574 enforcement actions including 61 for securities offering violations, 75 broker-dealer violations and 27 for market manipulation schemes.
Sure, we've been excited by the blowups at Amaranth Advisors, Pirate Capital and Bayou. But has anyone brought down a bank that counts Queen Elizabeth II as its customer?
Oscar performance
As someone who beat cancer and the jails in Singapore, Nick Leeson has done an admirable job of reclaiming his life. He's published books about his experience and about handling stress. A movie about his experience stars Ewan McGregor when it's obvious Howie Mandel had the chops for the lead role.
And the financial markets? They survived and moved on. Barings collapsed in 1995 and was bought by ING Group (ING : ing groep n v sponsored adr
Rogue traders continued to have their way. Regulators at the New York Stock Exchange prosecuted nearly 200 cases, barred 130 individuals -- 35 permanently -- and collected $27.7 million in fines from member firms in 2005, the last year such statistics are available. The violations run the gamut, but it's safe to say most had some kind of failed supervisory function. In other words, no one was watching closely.
All of this would make for fertile ground for Leeson, who could dazzle us and his clients with his trading prowess. In an interview with the local paper in Ireland where he now lives, Leeson assured the locals he wasn't about to snooker the bank.
"If you have an efficiently-run organization with effective checks, you've no reason to be scared of someone like me," he said.
Based on recent evidence, I'd keep the lights on.

I updated share structure in Ibox...
thanks

I live in central Mississippi about 75 miles from Philidelphia, MS where the tribal seat for the MS Choctaw Nation is located. Besides their 2 casinos there is not much there. Rolling red dirt hills that is not advantageous to agriculture. Some logging and lots of chicken farms. I am pleased that MS has found a use for the low quality coal and hope Silverado does what it says. They still have to come up with $13m (some unused mining equipment from Alaska will be counted). I bought a token 12.5k shares yesterday and will watch it.
As to flipping it and the momo players I would say not as there is no SI board and only 13 boardmarks for Ihub. I don't think anyone knows about it. Silverado is developing the gold, but the coal project is 2 years out so many will wait for further developemnt on the green fuel.
Glad to see there is a board.
Mark
since the project is in my backyard I picked up a little SLGLF.OB on news of MS clean coal plans
took a small position in SLGLF.PK on news
Great I bookmarked it...could you add FSNR.PK (Freestone Resources) a recent pickup of mine. TIA Mark
doesn't seem like Ihub's work over the weekend improved anything...seems really slow page to page
TDON.OB...I do not own it yet and I am not recomending it at $.69, but definetly have it on my watch list. CEO (former head of Bell Labs) gives a presentaion on overcoming Moore's Law with light speed swithes of 40, 60, 100 gigbits. Very interesting 15 min video. Don't know when it will change the computer world, but the military is already doing some things with them. If you have the time, its excellent. There is a new minimally followed Ihub board and would be curious what magicians think (I know its out of our price range LOL) as far as time frame or whatever.

there is a big one in Denver and San francisco also. I was thinking it was Billings ramsey but thats not it.
me neither...saw it and was in at .007 and no fill...know nothing about it
Then appoint or hire someone in house to handle IR. I think PR firms are no longer relevant in this information age. Too many have ruined the experience for that 5% to be taken seriously. Are they going to start the conversation off with a defensive statement how they are not like the other 95% of IR firms? The first thing I ask when I speak with an IR person is if he is with the company or an IR firm somewhere else. If it is the second I assume he has limited info that I can probe and generally speaks off a script or talking points. Too many small companies get the cart before the horse. If you are growing the company and letting shareholders know what you are doing, beleive me, it will be noticed without a 3rd party hype firm. As for as small cap oil investment conferences, there are 3 or 4 major ones attended by prominent analysts looking for good investments that would be great to present at, esp those that are by invitation...........Too many IR firms are capping your stock by selling into any rallies with the stock they receive for services.
Just my opinion
Mark
IR firms are generally worth less than what you pay them on a monthly basis in my opinion. News releases, presenting your company at as many small cap oil investor symposieums as possible, shareholder friendly CEOs that are accessible and straightforward, and updates are much better ways to promote the stock price. If you don't have those, no IR firm can help no matter what you pay them. I view many IR firms as parasites as most of the ones I contact seem to know less than I do about the company. Most are not even in the same state. Those slick flyers and spam emails do little for the company, most times just viewed as a pump and dump. If you want info, speak with the CEO or any legitimate employee and then if you like what you hear, tell others. The IR firms come in to small companies promising many things for $5k to $20K per month or 400K shares or 2mm shares and rarely deliver on those promises and the company has spent much needed capital and stock for what many call pump and dump. If its a good stock investors will come.
I don't think this is a flip but who knows these days. With financing, new CEO, new plant and 30-40% margin on the products I would think a steady climb to $.50 or .60 in nine months

Voyager One, Inc. Announces the Hiring of Mr. Jefferson Stanley as its Chief Financial Officer
HINSDALE, Ill., Sept. 1, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Voyager One, Inc. (OTCBB:VYGO) today announced the hiring of Mr. Jefferson Stanley as its Chief Financial Officer as of September 1, 2006. Interim Chief Financial Officer Sebastien C. DuFort will continue on as President focusing on corporate development and potential acquisitions.
"Mr. Stanley is an excellent addition to our team and will add a tremendous amount of value with our undertaking of additional strategic focus at Voyager One," said President Sebastien C. DuFort. "He has strong credentials and a range of skills that will enhance our ability to grow and also add shareholder value."
Jefferson Stanley comes to Voyager with a breadth of experience in law, tax, investment banking and hedge fund marketing. Mr. Stanley is the former founder of HedgeMark Advisors and marketer for Black River Asset Management, where he helped raise over $1.5 billion in institutional capital. Prior to Black River, Mr. Stanley was an investment banker with the Royal Bank of Canada and Dain Rauscher Wessels where he marketed and executed over $1.0 billion worth of private placement, public offering and merger and acquisition transactions.

About Voyager One
Voyager One, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Silicon Film Technologies, Inc., engages in the design, development, and licensing of technology that enables a conventional 35mm SLR camera to capture, store, and transfer digital images. The company entered into a memorandum of understanding on August 11, 2006 with Applied Color Science based in Laguna Niguel, CA to agree to a joint venture and licensing arrangement to further research and develop the technology underlying its electronic film system. Applied Color Science has expertise in digital camera systems and image processing and has previously provided technical developmental services to Silicon Film Technologies, Inc. www.appliedcolorscience.com.
Recently, management has undertaken an additional strategic focus by seeking to acquire companies that blend, bottle, and distribute private label oils, lubricants, and related products for the automotive and industrial industries. Management believes that this new direction offers substantial long-term growth opportunities as higher production costs and lack of scale have reduced profitability for many mid-sized companies in the oil and lubricant blending business. Voyager management feels this market is ripe for consolidation or "roll-up" and is in the process of identifying and acquiring quality companies where increased scale or the injection of additional working capital will result in significant changes to marginal savings or revenues.
Voyager Chief Steps Down; New CEO Appointed
Thursday March 1, 5:31 pm ET
HINSDALE, Ill., March 1, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The chief executive officer of Voyager Petroleum (OTC BB:VYGO.OB - News), John Lichter, is stepping down and being replaced by Voyager's Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Lichter, will leave his job to pursue other interests in the field of technology.

``This is about moving forward and completing Voyager's strategy of building a petroleum lubricant company through acquisition,'' Sebastien Dufort, Voyager's President said today. ``Mr. Lichter made significant contributions to establishing Voyager as a company but we felt Mr. Stanley's experience in M&A, capital markets, tax and law was better suited to helping us manage the company, execute acquisitions, and assist in capital raising.''
The newly appointed CEO said in a statement, ``I want to thank Mr. Dufort and the board for this opportunity. It is an exciting time to be with the Company and to be in the petroleum products recycling business. Over the last six months we finalized an agreement to purchase a waste oil processing facility, hired a new plant manager, and solidified an order for over $4 million in product over the next year. I look forward to continued success working with Mr. Dufort and the rest of the team to help build the business.''

I was hoping for a pullback...had an order in at .17 no fill
I think most investors are aware the 05s wont look too good, but it will show that 06s are on the way. I have been told it wont take long as they will have a template to go by. The updated filings are the primary step to AMEX, or at least re-listing on BB and off the pinks. Remember we dont have to requalify to be trading as TRGD.OB, just get filings updated and file for re-listing. That will be a big step forward IMO
thanks for that idiotic post. Looking at your history no wonder you are leary, but I assure you this is not another SLJB and I hope you refrain from pontificating constantly as your history shows
Bought some Voyager Petroleum (VYGO.OB) this am @ .052. I read the filings and think it has a lot of upside. Setting up an oil refinery in MI to recycle used oil (good business) including contract recently. 73mm shares. Have another lowball bid in 2 double down but no fill but I don't think there is any hurry
love the bid ask but my ACCA is still a cusip...asked etrade and they still have not received shares
filled on 100k at .052
WNSH.PK market cap of 167K on 1.6B shares at .0001......?
I should have asked about Tara Minerals but did not. I rushed my call as I had tried many times and just forgot to ask about that
I was going for 100k at .0525 GTC
