Why don't you read the last page or two of posts? If everyone was as lazy as you, the board would be filled up with other people's regurgetation of the same info. BRZL would have a great board count, but it would be meaningless. I may be a newbie to IHub and pennies, but at least I have the courtesy to try and do my own DD.
Jacob. In this post and others, you come across as a person who got too influenced by the wild projections of some of the pumpers on this board (GREED) and bet the farm on BRZL. Now FEAR has evidently taken over. I hope you will learn something from this experience and be more careful in your future stock buys, especially in Pinkville. I must say that reading your posts makes me thankful that I have acquired some self discipline that has kept me out of the situation you find yourself in now. I suggest that you copy and paste your posts into a word doc, print it, and mount it next to your computer and read it every day as reminder of these obviously uncomfortable times. It may save you from repeating this situation again. Good luck.
Hey Sagan, can I write that down?? Best laugh I've had all day.
Of course seeing SGCP show a little sign of life sure helped.
GO SGCP.
What the heck is going on this AM? Down $0.64 in the pre-market.
Ooops. Have to be careful with this one. Interesting article on how IO Accounts Receivable are getting out of whack.

Looking for a bottom here. Starting a small position this AM
Thanks for the tip on looking at the alias. I'm a newbie to pinks and IHub. Live and learn.
If what you posted is really true, it is the most troubling thing I have seen on this board. Unless I read a something else that refutes or explains what you posted, I'm not buying another single share of BRZL until after the RM is finalized and PR'd. I'm not going to call this accountant myself, but if anyone else does I hope the result get prominently posted.

Best laugh I had all day. Needed that. Thanks
What is the significance of the word "DEFAULT" alongside the "STATUS" block in your link to the NEVADA SECRETARY OF STATE PAGE?
Quetion on IHub time. Your post has a time stamp of 11:54AM. Right now, I am in California and the clock on my computer says its
11:45AM. How does that work?
Ooops. Just figured it out. I see the time stamp on my post was 2:47PM so all IHub times must be east coast time. Sorry.
Did my share to help support. Picked up another 100K @ 0.008.
What kind of bothers me a bit is the similarity of this board's dependence on Jim Renfro to the KAT# board's cultish worship of Ken Stea#. At least Mr. Renfro has some solid accomplishments in his resume. GLTA
Hi rivierandfold. I got in for 2K shares when my 0.038 BID got hit.
Hope I won't be ostracized cause I didn't "slap the ask". Sounds like NVSR has a good product. Just hope they can execute. I'm a newbie to IHub. Grateful for the the DD some of the posters provide. GLTA
I'm long - but here's the part I do not understand. If BRZL has 1.4 billion barrels of oil in the ground at such a ridiculously cheap price when measured in barrels per share of BRZL stock, why aren't outfits like Exonmobil, Shell, Chevron, etc. buying up shares of BRZL? It would be a heck of a lot cheaper for them to get the oil that way than to hire a rig to go out into the Gulf of Mexico and drill for it. Baffeled, bewildered, & BRZLed.
Thanks for clearing that up. I'm a relative newbie to IHub - still learning about posting etiquette.
Which stock are you accusing me of pumping - BULM or ECM*?? Did you bother to read rstockguy's post of 07/11/10 in the ECM* board? It was clearly a "BUYER BEWARE" DD. Am I not allowed to say nice things about BULM on this board?? whew!?!?
Got an e-mail pump for Ecoemissons Solutions this AM and read your DD of 07/11/10. Very thorough & recent drop in PPS right in line with your expectations. If you studied BULM as well as you did ECM* and see a lot of potential here, I'm going to jump on the the train with you. Looks like a great little company run by some fine people. GLTA
Hey Admiral; a personal note. The picture at the bottom of your posts appears to be at Titian/Centaur launch (from Vandenburg??)
Were you involved in that? I worked on the Centaur for 14 years before retiring. Appreciate your posts and DD. Go BRZL!
Hi Listen To Me - You must be lonesome on this board, so I thought I'd give you a bit of company. Looked up your other posts and saw you appear to be a fellow SYMX investor (trader??). Anyway I looked at DD on PEPR and was ready to buy some. But both Ameritrade and I.B. will not accept my orders because PEPR is "DTC Ineligible", which means that is does not trade electronically - they have to physically move the paper stock certificates. How do you get around that?? Thanks
What caused the symbol change to GSDCE??
Just logged into my IB account and saw the big E has been added to GSDC.
Generally speaking - not a good thing. Brings back unpleasant
memories of Supatcha Resources. Anybody got any info?
Political Risk in Peru??
Interesting comment to an article in Seeking Alpha.
Mike Merrill (author of comment)
(concerning price divergence between PM miners and physical PM)
***************************************************************
Part of the divergence with the miners was due to the Bolivia announcement that they were going to expropriate several mines, including one run by Pan American Silver. In the knee-jerk reaction that followed, some skittish investors sold shares of other miners like Silver Wheaton due to concerns about geopolitical risk in Peru. The concern in Peru is that Ollanta Humala, the left wing candidate in the June 5th runoff election has made noises about raising taxes on windfall profits for miners. Nobody paid much attention until the PAAS announcement in Bolivia, and then they threw the baby out with the bath water.
Humala has since toned down his rhetoric, and said publicly that he doesn't want to expropriate the mines. His beef is that the previous administration granted tax waivers, allowing 'new' miners coming into the country to count their start-up investments (i.e. digging the mine) to offset their 3% royalty paid to the government.
With weaker hands shaken out now, it doesn't look like much of a risk. First, Humala might not win (he lost the last runoff election, and supporters of all the conservative candidates who split the votes and thus lost the race- will be unlikely to support him). Second, even if he does win and he does raise taxes, 3% of the revenue from those mines won't put a dent in SLW earnings. The price of silver itself has gone up more than 3% in the past week. Finally, the mines are owned by Barrick Gold, so it isn't clear that Silver Wheaton would have to pay anything even if the tax does go up.
Been lurking since I got in at 0.18 in the middle of March when it was still CMIN. After getting burned by KA#X, I promised myself to not plunge in but to just buy monthly increments of stock. If this operation does have reserves, it will be a long, moderate growth story with zigs and zags fluctuating with the spot price of gold.
Could be a fun trip. Thanks for the DD some of you are able to dig up and post.
It appears that once the price of a stock goes above 0.0000005, nobody on IHub is interested. Very low float. Supposedly beats NEOG's 96 hour test as SDIX's test requires only a 24 hour waiting period. Just have to wait and see how the food industry accepts it and how much profits grow.
Gump, you are my hero. Without the benefit of your past cautions, I would have bet the farm at this AM's open based on all the "new DD" that was dug up last night on how KATX took out a bunch of new claims on property adjacent to Rusty Ridge. As it is, I just stuck with my small position. You saved me a bunch a pain. A Merry Christmas to you.
Huge volume today. Could this be the beginning of a turnaround??
Thanks for taking my reply in the vein it was given - an attempt to be helpful and lighthearted at the same time. But I was shocked to see the grammatical mistakes in my post = used "your" for "you're" 2 times. It is funny how I can spot other people's spelling and grammar errors, but not my own until the "edit" time is over!
Pardon, but you sound like your Jeremy Richards looking for new DD to update his Seeking Alpha article of 9/20/10. =
http://seekingalpha.com/article/225979-the-catalysts-that-will-propel-cyclacel-pharmaceuticals-higher?source=qp_investment_views
If your not, this article should be a good starting point.
One more up day tomorrow with reasonable volume and I'm back in with the longs. Good luck.
Just BOT 13K at 0.0202
Just slapped the ASK for another 2K at 0.043. (every little bit helps-right?)
Thanks for your input. I have seen many posts about what an NI 43-101 is. On other gold stock Boards I have seen the question asked (paraphrased) "Since this mine is not in Canada, and the Company is not Canadian - what will the Canadian Government do (or even have the jurisdiction to do) to anyone who creates and disseminates an exaggerated or untruthful report?" I have yet to see or to find an attempted answer to this concern.
I am a the owner of 38K shares of SAEI, have reviewed the DD available, and fully support SAEI. I just have a hard time understanding the great weight of importance placed on a Canada-based regulatory document for an entity which has no connection whatsoever to Canada.
Well, I'm out at 0.070. I'll take my $21 of profit and treat my wife to dinner tonight. Will stay away from anything involving
"liquidation" in the future. Thanks for your kind inputs. I'm a relative newbie to this stuff and appreciate the wisdom of your cautions to me.
My knowledge is limited to what I read in the Ibox, posts here, and on the Yahoo board. But I do have confidence that John Griffen and his people are capable of much more thorough DD than I (or most posters on IHub) could ever do. I've had better luck in the past following hedge fund picks than stocks touted by pumpers. Its just a tiny position for now. Like a perpetual option. If the arbitration works in my favor, I make a few bucks.
But you are right about what "fun" is. That was a poor choice of words. GL
Just for fun, I picked up 2K at 0.057 after reading the below.
How often do you find a Hedge Fund playing pinks??
Explain this: Blue Ridge bought almost 7 million shares (on 11/22??). All the charts I have looked at for back to June,2010 show 2 millions shares highest day volume. Guess they accumulated them in small bunches.

John Griffin's Blue Ridge Capital Discloses MiddleBrook Pharmaceuticals Stake (MBRKQ)
John Griffin's hedge fund Blue Ridge Capital just filed a 13G with the SEC regarding MiddleBrook Pharmaceuticals (MBRKQ). Per portfolio activity on November 22nd, Blue Ridge has disclosed a 8.05% ownership stake in MBRKQ with 6,969,697 shares. You can see commentary and analysis of Blue Ridge's other investments in the just-released issue of our newsletter.
It's difficult to discern whether or not this is a brand new position for Griffin's hedge fund. Securities traded on the pink sheets (like MiddleBrook is) aren't deemed reportable assets on 13F filings. So in their most recent 13F, Blue Ridge doesn't show a position in MBRKQ. However, if an investment firm were to acquire over 5% of a company's shares outstanding, they would have to file the respective 13G/D with the SEC, even if it's traded on the pink sheets (just as Blue Ridge has done). Readers will recall a similar scenario in the past when Bill Ackman's Pershing Square did not disclose their General Growth Properties stake (GGWPQ back then) on their 13F filing, but did disclose it in a 13D.
So, while it's unclear as to when Blue Ridge originally purchased MBRKQ, they have quite a sizable stake now, with recent enough activity to force the disclosure of the position due to crossing the ownership threshold amount.
This transaction is intriguing for a few reasons. First, Blue Ridge files 13G's or 13D's on a much less frequent basis than many other hedge funds we track as they don't seem to take concentrated positions as frequently. Second, MiddleBrook Pharmaceuticals is a micro-cap company ($5 million market cap) and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in April of this year. Their restructuring will be something to watch.
Griffin founded Blue Ridge after leaving Julian Robertson's Tiger Management and is known as one of the successful 'Tiger Cubs.' For more from his fund, check out Blue Ridge's recommended reading list.
Per Google Finance, MiddleBrook Pharmaceuticals is "a pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing anti-infective drug products that fulfill unmet medical needs. The Company has developed a delivery technology called PULSYS, which enables the pulsatile delivery, or delivery in rapid bursts, of certain drugs."

I have an AV*R position which was on during the bear raid. SO thankful that I didn't have stops in as well. But also sorry that I had to spend that day working on my roof. Missed a chance to pick up more at a good discount. (My account is with I.B. Very low commissions, but I've had a very difficult time getting fills on fast moving pennies - even if my limit is a few digits above the ask.)
It seems to me that technicians who work in assay labs are in much the same position as the people who receive and analyze the data from drug trials run for the FDA. They must be either very carefully vetted and made to sign iron clad non-disclosure docs, or they get "blind" samples that have no info on the source. Maybe Gump knows how confidentiality/secrecy is maintained.
Thanks for the clarification and update. Hydraulic fracing is getting a lot of bad press lately, and New York state just fracing for 9 months:

Hope WMNS is part of the "green" solution to this problem.
This is now and oil and gas play. Gold has little if any part in this company's business - from what I can read.
I cannot PM you with my current subscription. I have 2000 shares of HTLJ.
Drilling and analyzing the results costs lots of money. My impression from previous posts, and DD suggests that KATX does not have that kind of money right now. Thus the talk about a JV etc, with someone who has.
