1st post of the new year! Could 2012 be the year of the pipe? Andy shareholder letter coming soon. No wonder there's volume today it happens every quarter. Then a week after letter gets out, stock is back where it originally was...with no volume. How much longer can this pain go on?
UGSI stock performance -- DOWN 46% in 2011!!! And Mgmt/Board really doesn't care!!
Regarding Dick Heckmann's interview on CNBC yesterday, why couldn't Dick mention where is pipe is coming from and his company's ownership interests in UGSI? HEK up over 7% in 2 days; 46% in the past 52 weeks....and UGSI's performance????? pitiful!!
see post 528! prediction comes through!
as usual, stock participating in this massive rally....i love ugsi!
HEK reported and UGSI stock spikes up on big volume. Any bets that stock will be back to $0.14 a week from now?
haven't seen anything either, but my thinking is UGSI taking market share...not losing it...
h20dan...you the man!! problem with your purchase is it might take a couple weeks to complete the trade based on the volume this stock trades...but, wait...maybe we can talk futures jackal to put a water report on the site....the report will "spur" heavy volume....
By the way, futures jackal has the perfect name for the moderator of this site...FUTURES!!! Like 2020 when the company finally puts out a press release!!
Because they couldn't buy it at $0.16? or because they want to round out their huge 900 share position? or because the investor knows something we don't know...and UGSI is getting ready to be bought out at $0.20....one thing for sure....they're not buying it because of the valuable information they receive from this website "blog"!
Good comedy to start the day! Go UGSI!!
End of year tax planning and overall disappointment with no news. Stock couple pennies above 52 week low....maybe time to get on to other ideas that make more sense? No one is ever able to get any news on this company, so there's always the possibility once there is news....stock would take off....but don't hold the breath....the last public news was Nov 2007!!
stock could be up on short covering? futures jackal please don't take down this post like you do with others...
Smith and Geospatial....scam artist and scam company! Would you not agree?
Hey Jackal, What happened to previous UGSI founder, president, CEO, chairman's company, Geospatial? (GSPH)?? And how much stock of UGSI does this outright crook still own?? Thank God I knew this was scam from the beginning. Of course, you were touting this stock for quite some time. Just wish I wouldn't have covered my short prematurely. This guy needs to be in jail!!
yes,+ more; how bout yours?

BIG CONTRACT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!
TeamStaff Awarded Navy SeaPort-e Prime Contract
Somerset, New Jersey - July 5, 2011 -- TeamStaff, Inc. (Nasdaq: TSTF), a leading logistics and healthcare services provider to the Federal Government, announced today that its subsidiary, TeamStaff Government Solutions, has received an Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) prime contract award from the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division. This contract will allow TeamStaff to compete for prime Task Orders issued under SeaPort-e's Multiple Award Contract vehicle.
"This is a significant achievement for TeamStaff GS and allows us access to bid on approximately $5.3 billion dollars of services being procured per year via task orders issued under the SeaPort-e program" said Zach Parker, CEO and president of TeamStaff, Inc. This strategic win is a top priority ID/IQ for Navy work in our Logistics and Technical Services line of business."
The award includes a three-year base period and a five-year award term that will be contingent on periodic performance reviews. Under the program, task orders are assigned to one of seven regional zones of performance, and the subset of companies with valid contracts for that particular zone can compete for individual task orders within the relevant zones.
Looks like fireworks were exactly 1 day off. Can't find news, but obviously there is some based on the explosive 50% move today and the heavy volume. Any news?
Right on Global Chris! Maybe that competitor and/or short seller could go elsewhere with his misinformation!
grand slam = 4; however, this stock is headed to at least $30 and we don't have anyone on this site....WHY? Stock up almost 40% today!
would love to see if we can get some input on (1) how the road show is going (2) what's the tentative date of the pricing of the secondary (3) is there a road show internet presentation we can get from someone (usually only available to institutional clients).
The story is continuing with this deal. With more stock in institutional hands, there's no doubt the stock will be double digit by the end of the year. Very, very exciting story! Wanted to buy more today, but stock took off on me.
kingfisher1- pete black on board of tstf and also ugsi. you might want to check out ugsi. $0.19 stock going to $2 in my opinion. undergroundsolutions.com; unfortunately, very private, no financials public yet...
mars is red post came down because it had "bad words" in it (i think). mars, please edit it a little and repost it without the "bad words"..... definitely valuable information and I need the stock to get down to $0.14 so I can buy more...
Interesting "information" Mars is Red! I'm trying to add to my positions in the stock at $0.14 or lower. So my order has been/is in NOW. 100K ALL OR NONE. Would like to have another 500K or so shares. The problem is the stock just can't seem to fall, no matter what the "news" is. I consider the HEK news as a hiccup in the continuing story. Glad they "pulled the plug" early. Know any fiberglass pipe companies I can buy some stock in?
Notice that on 3/31/11, a director bought 50K shares of TSTF at $0.49. Then notice the contract they just received and see where the stock is. FYI, Mr. Black is an employee of Wynnefield Capital, the largest institutional holder of TSTF.

Credit Suisse had some interesting comments today:
26 May 2011
Heckmann Corp. (HEK)
• Expect more of a benefit from Eagle Ford Shale play (Western Texas).
Haynesville play remains strong, while Marcellus provides large growth
opportunity. Acquisition pipeline will be focused in new geographies in alternative
water services (i.e.- not transportation).
• Eagle Ford play appears to be ramping up well. HEK is currently negotiating more
water rights to broaden footprint. Company plans to more than double
transportation footprint.
• Haynesville remains core shale play for HEK. Company currently extending
pipeline further into LA (appears to be following ECA wells).
• Marcellus still one of the larger opportunities (5x Haynesville). CEO appears
comfortable with current footprint in region to grow at desired pace.
• HEK says business can be 25% to 30% EBITDA margins.
• We expect HEK to utilize more LNG trucks, which are a 1/3 less costly to operate
as traditional diesel trucks.
• HEK expects business to double in next year.
• Regarding the China water business, seeing more interest from buyers. Expect
eventual exit via IPO (CEO says he is in no rush as business is now profitable).
Anyone know how the 2-day analyst meeting went in Louisiana?
Appreciate the info Mars. The person(s) who sold obviously wanted out bad ($0.151 to $0.155/share). Stock now at $0.18 bid, $0.20 offer. I think Dick did the right thing in mentioning the issue on the call. Let's see how this plays out over time. I'm sure the UGSI team is putting 95% of it's selling efforts in opportunities other than HEK.
Big volume for this stock today and very volatile price action. Saw one print at $6.75, and stock was above $6 for most of the trading day. WOW!
Jackal, you're a good man. Emotions sometimes come out, but some of us, like you and I, know what it's going to take to make money in the water industry--patience, due diligence and putting our money with STRONG management teams. By the way, I just heard from a very reliable source that on May 12 & 13th, HEK is sponsoring an analyst meeting to Louisiana to take a look at some of their shale developments. This obviously will be very interesting from a UGSI standpoint as far as additional information. I will not be able to make this meeting (and I'm not an analyst), although I'm a shareholder of both UGSI and HEK. I'm trying to get one of my other interested UGSI/HEK friends to try to get in on this meeting.
I understand that HEK will be sponsoring an analyst tour of some shale gas areas in Louisiana on May 12-13. I'm buying more stock next week and the following in front of the earnings and the analyst tour.
Only the beginning. Those who are patient on this stock will be rewarded 10-fold! Keep watching. Keep adding to your positions. See the talent this company is hiring...read their backgrounds, see where they've come from and the experiences they've had. $30-40 price target in 2-3 years (and I'm not smoking anything funny!)
Rebuttal: A contact of mine has investigated Red Mars allegations and has provided facts: HEK line did have numerous breaks caused by POOR CONSTRUCTION AND INSTALLATION TECHNIQUES EMPLOYED BY CONTRACTORS - NOT UGSI (THEY DON'T INSTALL). The project was VERY profitable for UGSI and there is NO ongoing dispute that would cause UGSI to take a loss. UGSI is currently bidding more sections in both the expansion for HEK as well as new lines in other areas. Fiberglass was chosen for the expansion since it can handle the higher temperatures in SOME streams in certain areas better than PVC. NOW THESE ARE FACTS!! Sorry short seller or competitor!!! You're WRONG!!!
futures jackal. anyway you can get with your ugsi contacts to see if this information is true or false? i believe its false in that sewer dog thinks it's true. whatever sewer dog does i do the opposite and its always rewarding. i would like to buy more ugsi on weakness, but need to get more information. thnks in advance...
Mars is Red question is very interesting and I do not have an answer. I will be on the next HEK call and will be asking about this. On a separate subject, Sewer Dog, part of the condition of Andy getting on board along with the new investors was that Smith HAD TO GO. Smith has always been a pump and dump type of guy who would have a press release on any and every event the company is involved with. He's pure scum in my book, although he is the person who started UGSI. My money has always been on Andy and the new team and never on Smith. Like Jackal, I've never sold a share of UGSI.
Jackal. GSPH has turned out EXACTLY how I thought it would turn out. This was a scam from the beginning. And to think that this is the same person who started UGSI! Thank God the board voted to get rid of Mr. Smith, but unfortunately, I'm sure he still has a chunk of stock in the company. Any idea how much stock he owns in UGSI? Smith should be in jail and the regulators and bankers who approved his scam should be in jail with him.
What an update from Andy! Some highlights: "best bookings results of any previous first quarter", "level of bidding activity looks as if it will continue strong", "significant momentum change", "export markets are booming", "Katrina-like price increases", "encouraged", "excited". Meanwhile, the stock down over 30% this past 52 weeks....
As usual, Jackal, great macro/industry info you've provided this site for years. Keep up the good work and go UGSI. By the way, I had a dream last night that UGSI would be doing an equity raise. Just the announcement itself shot the stock to $0.25 to $0.29 on heavy volume. Remember, I had a dream!
