Unfortunatly I am still about 98% long on biotechs and alt energy battery, and CO2 to fuel conversion techs that I thought would rally back up soon, but now I am having doubts that anyone except lawyers might survive this mess.
Problem is there is no way to know WHEN the next shoe might drop. I guess I could by Dec put options on a stock index with a strike price at say 75% off of recent highs as a doom day insurance policy on the cheap. Like Dow, DJI at 4000 by end of year?
One thing is for sure, I think volatility is going to be here for while longer!!! VIX options maybe?
I agree with your posts, and might add that many stocks are down even more since August 2008, just look at DRYS, or thousands of others.
This is a must read for any one in the stock market, not just those playing BP:
http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article20778.html
I am hoping that the US and British pass some sort of joint superfund tax law to pay for cleanups like this one, that also caps damage claims, other wise we may be looking at BP bankruptcy, CDS defaults and the failure of the entire world banking system and insurance system, world wide credit freeze II, and Great Depression II.
I am super bull, and 99% long right now, but reading that article scares the shit out me. Sovereigns can print money, BP can not!
Two things to say. One thanks for bringing it to our attention!!!!
And two, if you had just posted the link to the details to begin with, with your claim that there was some law suit somewhere out there, I would not have jumped on your case, LOL.
That said, from what I have read in the article, the lawsuit does not appear to name Midland as a defendent. But the US attorney for Mainland "intends to respond to Mr. Urquhart's allegations and pursue substantial counterclaims against Mr. Urquhart in due course -- in court, not in the press," she said.
Sounds like something we need to watch for more news on, but all I see so far is a rumor (unsubstantiated was the term used in the article) of possible smoke, in the past, and a guy that seems to be throwing mud in public, while admitting in a court suite he filled that he was involved with 3 cheaters and got cheated while helping the cheats?????
Not sure what to make of it all. But I am still long AEXP in expectation of merger with MNLU, and not planning to sell any time soon.
If some has time and resources to dig up and read the 178 page suit, I would love to see the meat of it, if there is any as it applies to MNLU.
Sued by who, where are your facts? Post your facts if you have any, or try shorting something else.
This is the second out of the blue post attack here in a week? Last one had his facts wrong. Is some one looking to scare people into selling here while they make money on shorts? Starting to smell fishy to me.
I have been watching the news on this one for months, maybe a year now in my watch list since an email pump came across my screen, and today's news, and what looks like a stable bottom lately on a simple chart has me wondering if it is time to peak under the hood?
What is the scoop here? Is just down just like everything else? Do they have any profits yet?
Well we just got a follow up filing, plan to raise up $75,000,000 filed with the SEC.
No real details other than the dollar limit, and the 250 million AS you mentioned earlier.
They also got another NASDAQ delisting notice this week, with 180 days to D-Day.
I just hope they have good plans to boost the stock back to $2 before they sell new shares, and take care of the delisting notice before this gets nasty here.
Those are bold plans dollar wise, unless they are planning on selling a huge mess of shares at .40 to .50, which would make me as pissed off as BBB!
They definately seem to be moving into a buy competitors mode, or they may be planning to raise cash to pay off the big bond debt down the road???, or both?
Not sure how I beat you guys to this news, it is not even on IHUB news yet, but seems this news was out Friday morning, according to Fidelity!!!!

I am reading through some older posts here, and this one struck me as terribly funny. I am an anti AMA guy, and my brother is a retired MD. I am a pro herbalist, healthy food.......guy, that eats lots raw veggies, takes lots of vitamins, and stays away from junk food as much as possible, including sugar and soft drinks......anyway, reading this older post
Struck me as funny that people still think AMA doctors and the billion dollar drugs they pump are SAFE, just because the drug companies spent zillions of dollars testing them, FDA approved them and then an AMA doctor with a real medical license prescribed them.
If people just avoided real doctors, and ate just fresh food the medical industry in the USA would collapse!!!!
That said, I have read the patent application. Once again I would like to say that I am impressed it even exists. This one out of hundreds (or thousands) of companies I have looked at over the years claiming to have patent pending status, and is the first one that I was actually able to obtain the application, thanks dda!
While the application is real, and seems to still be trying to get some of the original claims allowed, if I was the inventor or if was IFUS management I would fire the idiot that wrote the first application. Very poorly done, poor grammar, poor english, mistakes in it, but I have seen some $300/hr patent attorneys produce some REAL patent app JUNK before, so maybe I should not be so critical. The more mistakes they make, the more work they generate for themselves at $300/hr, that $5/min folks!.
Good news is, I guess the patent applicant seems to still be fighting the US patent office over final claims wording, and over what parts will be allowed, and seems to still be alive, as the copy dda got me has the revised claims from the original which was filled May 7, 2008, and updated on Oct 2, 2008.
Unfortunately, in the Oct 8, 2008 copy dda sent me, the current initial claim (old claim 12) has an error in its english, 2 in fact in the first two lines. I hope they have found and corrected them by now?
"Where a decline in" should read "where an increase in" on the first line of claim 12 (now claim one), and on line two "have been brought about" makes no sense, some words must be missing there????
Unfortunately, I have not had time yet to do the deep level internet search and patent office search I plan to do on this myself, but I did finally finish reading and noting things in the copy dde got for me (he posted a link here IIRC). Nor have I heard anything from brother (MD) good or bad on this, yet. Guess I need to nudge him.
One final note the original application was a provisional filed back in 2005! Then in 2006, Nov 6th, a US divisional app was filled, but it looks like it was abandoned Oct 16, 2008?
https://sportal.uspto.gov/authenticate/AuthenticateUserLocalEPF.html
I don't know if that link will work, you might need to type in 11/560374 as the patent application number to get to the status page.
BUT! The current application is dated Oct 2, 2008, number 20080241273, and I can not find the status on it (correction read further down, just found it), nothing comes up on the www.uspto.gov status search engine. It looks like the original was abandoned and replaced 14 days before it was abandoned (not unusual so don't read too much into it).
Here is a link to the earlier application that was abandoned:
http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PG01&p=1&u=/netahtml/PTO/srchnum.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=20070148187.PGNR.&OS=DN/20070148187&RS=DN/20070148187
Here is the 2 page USPTO letter and final action on the original application:
http://portal.uspto.gov/external/PA_PeaiPair/view/BrowsePdfServlet?objectId=FMEVO97HPPOPPY5&lang=DINO
Like I said, the Oct 2, 2008 application seems to have been a new application, that abandoned the prior work going back to 2005 (again this is not unusual, so don't read too much into it).
I have not yet read the older apps, but they might reveal the first 12 abandoned claims in the newest app, and other details.
BUT WAIT!!! I just found the Oct 2, 2008 new application status (USPTO search engine was being anal!!!)
Filing date was May 7, 2008, pub date was Oct 2, 2008!!!
The new app number is: 12/116,319 and it takes a 2005 priority date all the way back to the original app.
I see a note that this application still claims priority date status back 2005. USPTO aslo shows current status as pending examination by a USPTO patent examiner (these guys at the USPTO are WAY behind, (ask me how I know) so 2 years sitting on a desk at the USPTO examiners office is nothing new).
So conclusion, they still have a valid patent application at the USPTO waiting for its turn to come up, for examination.

God I love the internet!!!!!! Could not do this online for free 10 years ago!!!
Anyway, there seems to be some real, long term effort at some patent protection here folks!!!!! That part is not a scam. I am not saying they will win a patent, or that if they do, it will be worth anything (another topic for another day), but there is a 5 year history of pursuing one for sure!!!!
When I get time to dig deeper I will post what I found, good or bad!
I am still long, and have an order in at .005 for more shares.
Let's keep in mind that although their sales and revenue is still pathetic, and they seem to be diluting shares to keep the doors open, they do have real reported sales, a web site, signs of some distributor activity online, some real advertising efforts, and a pending patent application, and they have some sort of property I keep hearing about, real land property. So this does not appear to me to be a total scam.
Jury is still out as to whether they will make it successful or eve survive so don't sell the house to invest here!!!! But I am taking some small risks on this one, simply because it could move up a good bit if some solid sales ever take hold (and I don't mean selling shares either!!!!! LOL, I mean the Intact products!!)
GLTA!!!!!
I quess if we are going to buy a stock that seems headed to 0, it is best to buy it at a new all time low, and prey (LOL, I did miss spell it) that it bounces before going lower so we can sell it.
I just keep forgetting to sell it, LOL.
As a comparison of things to come here?
Or as an alternate stock to invest in?
Yep, no one complained when GWB eliminated all the refinery enviro regs (fuel standards) for months and months that limited their production capacity after Katrina (and other Hurricanes IIRC) damaged US refining capacity, and that ran gasoline up to near $5/gallon.
I wonder if this might be a partial back door effort at the cap and trade goals to raise gas prices, reduce oil consumption, and raise refinery costs and enviro spending to boost the economy, and boost alt energy markets until they can pass cap and trade.
It's not a rumor, LOL, I am still hoping for more ultra cheap shares, like .02 shares (or even .06) with big buy orders I already have in waiting on the way there, should I get so lucky as to see some idiot dump a bunch of shares all once at market again.
If they are truly waiting they are going to be sorely disappointed when they all try to buy at once, and find no sellers, until we hit $1
OUCHI!!!!!!
Early bird gets the worm!!!!!
I think a lot of people just don't realize how long it takes to dot the i's and cross the T's on all the paper work for such a large international, first of its kind construction & operation deal.
Smart buys the rumor, and the sells the news people!!!!
I agree, I don't see any potential log jams to the merger. Looks to be on auto pilot to me. Unless a bunch of AEXP shareholders want to bid higher, LOL.
Certainly was a nice to day to be holding the bag here today, LOL.
I watched an 89,000 share bid order crawl through last 2-3 hours on level 2 bid at .65
I only have 7400, but i started buying at .74 (sad face, LOL)
I will buy more if it ever gets back to or under .08
I am only buy stocks that drop to the point where I can't stand not buying at the sale price, with the markets looking so bearish. If I had no shares I would by at .13 or lower today!
Awfully quite here today, LOL, always quite here, but CASB is already up 25-35% today and we are following up 8% too.
Awfully quite here for a stock that is up 28% today.
LOL, can we actually measure reader volume?
That may be good for CABN, but not Texas, me or the local pollution reduction efforts in Texas. The flexible permit program was one of the few things GWB got right. It speed up refinery emission reductions by huge amounts (like 80-90% for grandfathered facilities) and by years if not decades!!
I know I am nuts, but I have a buy in at .005
Oh, and by the way, they do have a patent application pending.
You are right, and that other guy is wrong, AEXP retained 20% because it is supplying part of the acreage to the deal. It is plainly stated in multiple documents at the SEC by both parties.
Is he just trying to sell miss information?????
You beat me to the bunch, LOL, but thanks. You are right and the other person you responded is wrong. Makes me wonder if he is not trying to push the price down here delibritly with miss information???
I have noticed a large drop in the volume even on big news days, but not a drop in price lately, that suggests the large stock holders are holding onto their shares more tightly lately, not selling into rallies like they have been doing lately. Very bullish in my opinion if the trend holds!
Yep, this is still a buy even at .55 IMHO.
They seem to be getting their act back together. Nice to see us bucking the overall market downtrend.
Nice to see us close even and holding .15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even if I did not get more cheap shares like I wanted (LOL).
Just noticed the four video links on the lower right side of this page!!! Nice.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=12434
One of these days some body with lots of money is going to discover this gold mine, and the price will take off like a rocket.
Thanks, I looked at it, but I don't see blood in the streets there yet. Buffet says to buy when there is blood in the streets, and I see lots of blood, and even carcasses here, after reading most of the old posts,
LOL.
I have seen, and own some that are far worse. I have seen few at this stage of the business cycle (COIN Start up) that are any better. I was impressed when they sold new shares at about 40% above the then retail!!!!! That is real RARE!!!! Only problem is too few risk takers these days, as the markets go through this nasty sell off last 2 months, the penny stocks sell off any harder, called high beta!!!! But when then bounce up, they are quite impressive!!!!
MY AA shares are not doing much better, in fact COIN and especially COINW beat the hell out AA today!!!! COINW was up 35% midday today!!!! and AA lost a bunch again today.
Just got to figure out how to pick the lows and highs and trade some here while we wait for the turn in losses to profits.
I suspect they are planning to go on a buy binge to buy up cheap competitors to close the gap faster to profitablity.
At least the longs here beat the markets here today, hands down!
So far it does, but not as much as many others stink and suck!!!! Ask me how I know!!!!!
LOL
I am still long, and hanging on.
AEXP is (was) way up today, 25% up.
I trade and own several pinkies, have done alright with several. The R/S may be quite a ways off IMHO. I think they found new money to move on some drilling. I think this as a bottom fishing play for a NG rebound over the next 2 years. Should be (may be) an OK bet, as long as they survive, which it looks like they may. But not sure if they have bottomed yet. It might drop more once the Amex listing is gone.
Glad to hear that. I am in this one for the long run, therefore my prior comment, but it is volatile, and still possibly in a slide down to new lows until the losses become earnings. I also bought AA 3 months ago, and have lost my ass holding it along with most everything I was holding and kept since the end of April, just like this one, but I am learning to trade them around a base position as it runs up and down, add at the lows, sell some at the highs, so I can maintain a base position until it stops hitting new lows, and starts a long term rally.
I was just looking the IHUB float number, that can't be right?
Yahoo shows 29.99 M, IHub shows less that 2 mil?
Oh, I smell blood in the streets on this one, almost time to buy?
Any of you know anything about DNE?
A good friend just told me he bought a huge mess of shares at .095 average, to hold for about 1-2 years. Looks like it went into a death march straight down to hell yesterday (bottomed at .085, where he bought. I just joined that group here at Ihub, and the talk there is as bearish as it gets, down right mean in there lol. Every one already jumped ship with no plans to return, but it bounced up nearly 20% today with some volume. My friend says a new group is moving into try and save it, with cash. I am digging around looking under the rocks for more details. Looks like a prime take over target, lots of NG assets!!! Just no equity left, and lots of bank debt. Looks like to one watch too.
Anyway, I am looking forwarded to swapping my AEXP shares for MNLU!!!
Like I said, I am still long, holding a base of shares and warrants (COINW) and will be adding when / if we hit .57, and will add more if we go lower. And will hold into the early summer next year, as I expect the first profitable quarter by second quarter next year. It has only been about 1.5 years since they started selling their first products, a brand new product, in a young new market, and the sales growth rate is up 100%.
Sounds like you are either short and trying to bash the stock (which I would not expect from you, it is not your style?), or you already got burned buying at the wrong time. I have a number of stocks that I am holding and adding that have done far worse than this during the last 2 months as the sell off and near panic is starting to grip the entire world stock market.
While I have serious doubts about some of the things management has done, I am impressed that they got this far, got government aid, an that it did not go belly up in march 2009! Then they got a huge massive new batch of cash from new investors at $1.16 (IIRC), that sent the cash on had up to nearly .50 (it had a negative stock holders equity and was out of cash just before that), while the stock was retailing under $1 (IIRC)!!! Those new accredited investors are not expecting to cash out until this company is showing a profit next year, IMHO. Only question is how low retail panic will drop us before this becomes a great buy and hold for 1-2 years stock!
I forgot about the higher A/S, thanks for the reminder, but that is because they plan to buy competitors, and grow the business with acquisitions and vertical integration (see the resent farm purchase, they purchased a previous customer, with a profitable farm, where they can now showcase and test their products on various crops, and make money off the R&D crops!). They have made several profitable acquisitions, that are helping to close the gap on the mistakes they made with their first original design plant, tech license, and business plan. I am not happy with the price crash either, but then again most stocks are getting hammered now, not just this one. In this crazy market COIN could be back up 15% tomorrow in one day.
This is not a typical pump dump, this company has real products, real revenue, and is starting to close the gap on quarterly losses finally.
One of the few greens stocks in the entire market today!!!!
Good sign we may have bottomed here.
Just started following this one. Got word today this is now a buy and hold from a reliable source that also likes to bottom fish.
I don't see anything but bearish posts here jumping overboard!
I just took a brief look at it, it is not existing shares, not yet, but only potential shares, and only if they exercise the right, and if that happens it is a stock for equity rights swap, not dilution.
"in the event of any such exercise, we will receive up to a 50% equity interest in H Pharmaceuticals K/S (formerly Hedrin Pharmaceuticals K/S), a Danish limited partnership, of which we and the selling securityholder are partners, of the 52.38% equity interest which is currently held by the selling securityholder. We also will receive the proceeds of any cash exercise of the warrant. "
This means, I take it that if the Dane partnership wishes to do so, it can swap the remaining partnership that MHAN does not own, for shares of MHAN. The other part would be a warrant to stock cash deal. This is not a dillution, bearish issue, but bullish in my book!
I bought more shares at the low of .045 this morning!!!!! And I will buy more at or below that price!!! I still think this stock should be .15 or more, and what I see so far is small volume sell off due to world markets scare that the bear may be back.
I am staying with my longs, and I am adding on these fire sale prices.
GLTA
Where did you get 250 milLION a/s?
OS is what is important. Some of the recent cash went into aquisitions that have positive cash flow and profits. And the last large stock sale was at about $1.34/share (or $1.16? I forget the exact price) that included one warrant at $1.34 IIRC. And that was a price higher than the retail market at the time.
I am still long, and will be adding when and if we test the .57/share low. I expect this be a $2 stock by this time next year, and I expect first time positive earnings by this time next year. Revenue is up 100%!!!! And growing!!!
That is one hell of an article, first time I have seen it!!!
Must read people!!!
