I think the reason is stated in my post 26290.
I confess, all I know of Monk is the spirit and due diligence I've seen from his followers on this board.
I have seen no evidence that that is their philosophy, and the Monk people on this board seem to be sincerely interested in the success of the company.
If there were a way for the little guys to screw Wall Street for a change, I would be 100% behind it.
And when they let the air out, massive losses?
Remember this stock is money flow negative.
PR doesn't exactly show a coherent business plan, does it?
What happened to all of those big real estate deals that were in the works?
You know the one where a real estate agent from Michigan called AVLS? Then the one from what was it K.C. or St Louis, then there were the meetings with a Houston redevelopment commission, what came of all those PR's?
Now we have a letter of intent to buy into the oil industry?
How when they haven't flipped a single property from the first big deal?
Successful implementation of a business plan..
That is the catalist and that should be enough to make the stock go up. That is what the stock market is here for, to fund new businesses and reward the stockholders who pick successful businesses to back.
Unfortunately, the main purpose of the stock market has become to illegally steal the money of those investors and intercept funds that should grow new business and improve our economy by lining the pockets of market makers and hedge funds.
I like Monk's idea of small investors getting together to back each other up against that power.
Government needs to clean up Wall Street, it would do more good than those lousy bailouts and grants.
Evidence that there is actual construction activity underway and that it is being performed by qualified professionals who are involved with this company would also help.
It just came up as a current release on my news feed. Yes, I recognized that the monthly figure was released before, but I think this one also included other information about the company's plans.
Green Oasis Reports on Montana Activity
Wednesday, 22 September 2010 07:08
Written by Press Room Green Oasis Environmental Inc., a Florida corporation, has announced that the Montana location of its wholly owned subsidiary Custom Carbon Processing Inc. (CCP) is now in full production and has produced 3,062 barrels of oil in its first month of operations.
The Waldo Processing Facility is CCP’s newest site in which processing operations are taking place. This site has been operating successfully since its inception, and has proven its capability to produce decent volumes of oil. Further additions are currently being made to this facility to ensure that processing operations can be maintained year round. The site is located in the Sidney area, and in Richland County.
Green Oasis Environmental, Inc. (GRNO) is dedicated to acquiring and providing access to world class technologies available today and focuses its efforts on seeking acquisitions of technology and/or operations concerning the remediation of slop oil, waste engine oil, and tank bottom oils. GRNO has every intention of becoming the single best option for reclaiming oil to pipeline specification from these waste products. Through the Company’s state of the art technology, GRNO will be able to process these waste products at one of their facilities or at a customer’s site by way of implementing its portable processing technology.
Custom Carbon Processing Inc. (CCP) is a Wyoming based Company formed in 2006 that has been operating in the Gillette, Wyoming area since its inception. Through the technology that CCP has developed, CCP is able to process slop oil (unrefined, non saleable oil) into pipeline standard crude. Its first facility has proven its capabilities to process up to 1,500 barrels of slop oil with a conversion ratio of approximately 50% to finished crude. Through its ongoing contract, CCP sells the processed slop oil to Shell Trading (US) Company. Shell Trading (US) Company is a corporation that acts as the single market interface for Royal Dutch Shell companies and affiliates in the United States with offices in Houston, TX (headquarters); Dallas, TX; Denver, CO; Midland, TX; and San Antonio, TX; and has an affiliated Shell Trading company in Calgary, Alberta. Shell Trading buys and sells more than five million barrels per day of hydrocarbons, is one of the largest physical traders of hydrocarbons in the United States and one of the world’s largest energy trading companies.
In addition to its Wyoming facility, CCP is currently planning expansion of its processing technology into Montana and North Dakota, home of the Bakken and Three Forks plays, said to be two of the largest oil plays in North America.
“I am extremely pleased with the results of this facility so far, and am looking forward to continued production. Drilling activity is crazy in this area.We have multiple meetings in place with some of the largest companies in the area to negotiate the handling of their slop oil needs. Multiple trips have been planned as well,” stated VP of Research and Development Matt Campbell.
Why am I posting? It is an interesting study.
It also seems that I have raised issues that no one cares to confront. Perhaps I will save someone a bit of grief if they ask the same questions I have asked.
Perhaps NMC could raise this issue in her next conversation with the company. I think this is a valid concern which should be addressed.
Yes, you know this company well...
So well that you put up a "compensated awareness" disclaimer on each of your posts, which supports my argument.
The regular posters all imply intimate knowledge of the company, which I believe is true. But NONE of them, yourself included, has posted any competent due diligence.
Sure, if they can make some money on it...
But the volume here is so low I don't think they've even noticed it. I am beginning to think this stock is just a big con, otherwise the company would have put up SOME evidence that they are really buying, selling, and building. They have shown nothing - nada - zip.
The chart shows that the money is being drained out of this one. If you are a gambler and think this is a MOMO play this may be your thing, but it shows no indication of being a stock that anyone would want to actually invest in. NO FUNDAMENTALS are discussed by the RAH-RAH team that regularly posts on this board, because the company has not shown any fundamental substance.
Another excerpt from the article which would also explain why our foursome keeps coming up with shares:
Settlement of stock transactions is supposed to occur within three days, at which time a naked short should become a fail–to–deliver, however the SEC routinely and automatically grants a number of extensions before the naked short gets reported as a fail–to–deliver. Most of the short hedge funds and broker dealers have multiple entities, many offshore, so they sell large naked short positions from entity to entity. Position rolls, as they are called, are frequently done broker to broker, or hedge fund to hedge fund, in block trades that never appear on an exchange. Each movement resets the time clock for the naked position becoming a fail–to–deliver and is a means of quickly getting a company off of the SHO threshold list.
See my post 25442, there were no block trades between 8/24 and 9/8.

Please comment on my last post Howard, you seem to be hinting at something in your posts, perhaps you have an additional insight.
I wonder if there is a substantial quantity of pre SHO shorts out there which have inflated the float and made it easier for the hedgies to play these games.
Perhaps the company will have to do a forward or reverse split in order to force these shares out of the market.
Can someone with a paid chart service call up the charts from when the old GRNO was delisted? I believe it was 1997. I am curious about the volume on those days.

No, if means that there were no failures to deliver three days ago. It does not relate to the short shares, it relates to failure to deliver shares to cover shorts.
That said, the shares delivered could be air shares from 1997.
From the previously cited article -
If a short seller cannot borrow a share and deliver that share to the person who purchased the (short) share within the three days allowed for settlement of the trade, it becomes a fail–to–deliver and hence a counterfeit share; however the share is transacted by the exchanges and the DTC as if it were real. Regulation SHO, implemented in January 2005 by the SEC, was supposed to end wholesale fails–to–deliver, but all it really did was cause the industry to exploit other loopholes, of which there are plenty (see 2 and 3 below).
Also, we could be watching grandfathered in "air shares" being passed around to cause the illusion of selling. If the shares are being "borrowed" from one air share account and sold to another, nothing is really happening but marks on the chart.
The list is just MM fail to deliver for that day, it does not give the complete short position. The excerpts below address the SHO list, but I encourage you to read the complete article that it was taken from found at this link, http://www.counterfeitingstock.com/CounterfeitingStock.html
Fails–to–Deliver — The process of creating shares via naked shorting creates an obvious imbalance in the market as the sell side is artificially increased with naked short shares or more accurately, counterfeit shares. Time limits are imposed that dictate how long the sold share can be naked. For a stock market investor or trader, that time limit is three days. According to SEC rules, if the broker dealer has not located a share to borrow, they are supposed to take cash in the short account and purchase a share in the open market. This is called a “buy–in,” and it is supposed to maintain the total number of shares in the market place equal to the number of shares the company has issued.
Market makers have special exemptions from the rules: they are allowed to carry a naked short for up to twenty–one trading days before they have to borrow a share. When the share is not borrowed in the allotted time and a buy–in does not occur, and they rarely do, the naked short becomes a fail–to–deliver (of the borrowed share)
........
Fails–to–Deliver — If a short seller cannot borrow a share and deliver that share to the person who purchased the (short) share within the three days allowed for settlement of the trade, it becomes a fail–to–deliver and hence a counterfeit share; however the share is transacted by the exchanges and the DTC as if it were real. Regulation SHO, implemented in January 2005 by the SEC, was supposed to end wholesale fails–to–deliver, but all it really did was cause the industry to exploit other loopholes, of which there are plenty (see 2 and 3 below).
Since forced buy–ins rarely occur, the other consequences of having a fail–to–deliver are inconsequential, so it is frequently ignored. Enough fails–to–deliver in a given stock will get that stock on the SHO list, (the SEC's list of stocks that have excessive fails–to–deliver) – which should (but rarely does) see increased enforcement. Penalties amount to a slap on the wrist, so large fails–to–deliver positions for victim companies have remained for months and years.
A major loophole that was intentionally left in Reg SHO was the grandfathering in of all pre–SHO naked shorting. This rule is akin to telling bank robbers, “If you make it to the front door of the bank before the cops arrive, the theft is okay.”
Only the DTC knows for certain how many short shares are perpetual fails–to–deliver, but it is most likely in the billions. In 1998, REFCO, a large short hedge fund, filed bankruptcy and was unable to meet margin calls on their naked short shares. Under this scenario, the broker dealers are the next line of financial responsibility. The number of shares that allegedly should have been bought in was 400,000,000, but that probably never happened. The DTC — owned by the broker dealers — just buried 400,000,000 counterfeit shares in their system, where they allegedly remain — grandfathered into “legitimacy” by the SEC. Because they are grandfathered into “legitimacy”, the SEC, DTC and prime brokers pretend they are no longer fails–to–deliver, even though the victim companies have permanently suffered a 400 million share dilution in their stock.
Three months prior to SHO, the aggregate fails–to–deliver on the NASDAQ and the NYSE averaged about 150 million shares a day. Three months after SHO it dropped by about 20 million, as counterfeit shares found new hiding places (see 2 and 3 below). It is noteworthy that aggregate fails–to–deliver are the only indices of counterfeit shares that the DTC and the prime brokers report to the SEC. The bulk of the counterfeiting remains undisclosed, so don't be deceived when the SEC and the industry minimize the fails–to–deliver information. It is akin to the lookout on the Titanic reporting an ice cube ahead.
So this means that there means that an iceberg of shorts may still be lurking from pre-SHO days because they were grandfathered in. Since the original company went down, they never expected to cover.
Companies do reverse splits and dividends in order to try to flush out unreported and "buried" short shares.
Not on the list...

But I have seen no evidence that this is a patented, proprietary LED system and the pending offer on the million dollar home has since been reported as rejected for being too low.
The properties purchased by the company appear to be not an "arms length" transaction so there is no way to know if the sellers weren't just getting bad paper off the books.
There are no appraisals for the properties owned, just statements of value. The company does not claim to have completed the renovations of any of these properties, the ones that are habitable seemed to be that way when they bought them.
Again, all I see is smoke and mirrors.
If you are new to this stock and were impressed by the post referenced above, be sure and read my previous posts on this board and think about the questions I ask.
Still looks like smoke and mirrors to me....

That paint up at 15:34 had to be something "they" wanted.
OK, if the shorts have their trading on autopilot..
(See my last post indicating that the splitting of trades four ways indicates computerized trading in order to achieve "risk sharing".)
Then there is no emotional decision controlling price movement, only a controlling algorithm. I believe that means there will be no sudden movement until just prior to important news. These guys have their sources and they will know before we do.
The computer also does not care about the fact that there is very little real selling, the pattern will stay constant until the programming is changed. At this point we seem to be set on "slow creep up".
AHA!!!! I knew something was fishy....
Remember all of those time & sales posts I made showing even small buys getting split four ways?
"
Today we have algorithmic trading, auto trading, algo trading, black-box trading, robo trading…and the list goes on. Algorithmic Trading is widely used by pension funds, mutual funds, and other buy side institutional traders, to divide large trades into several smaller trades in order to manage market impact, and risk. Sell side traders, such as market makers and hedge funds, claim to provide "liquidity to the market", generating and executing orders automatically. In "high frequency trading" (HFT) computers make the decision to initiate orders based on information that is received electronically, before human traders are even aware of the information. "
Taken from a very informative article on another board.

Any nitwit can see the resistance in the candles at .50. It takes someone with brains to envision what will happen afterward.
Because the emperor seems to have no clothes.
I would guess that we are looking at a cartel with a pre-arranged plan as most trades are coming up with a four way split on my time and sales. When the trade goes through it shows one figure, but then when I backfill the additional details show up.
This is what my time and sales shows for 12:57

I read it that those shares came from four different places too.
One at 1250
One at 3750
2500 was shorted, but two others sold into the short so he could cover, dividing the risk four ways.
Sorry I had to leave and didn't see your response.
I use quotetracker with an Ameritrade feed.
My T&S seems to show that that 800 got split up among four MM's. Spreading the risk.

NITE could be retail or it could be a hedgie, or it could be both.
I think NMC's information may put a stop to some of the game playing before the news actually comes out, we did go green finally :)
Thanks, NMC
Still no sales, none of the "experts" are named, and all the PR's seem to be pie-in-the-sky.

But you have the 10 and 50, not the 100 and 200 so what's the point of the chart?
"It's already had a golden cross of the 5-day SMA crossing over, from below, both the 100-day and 200-day SMAs. Scroll down to see the chart. "
Your chart shows the ,10, and 50 day according to the legend.
