Looks like more info could be coming shortly though. Sounds like deals are still in the works and maybe they'll be completed soon?
IMO, I see an interesting balance between Charlie and Wayne. Both have their strengths and experience to bring this company to it's full potential.
Also, imo, I think that Wayne would be a better spokesperson for IR purposes and interviews. Obviously, he's more experienced in public matters of presentation. Also, has a solid business head and approach.
That said, I think that Charles has a lot business and technology skills that can't be easily replaced.
There are many more factors involved here at this growth stage and it's time for MOP to do a full analysis and projections for future growth. MOP is finally in a position to do this. Could be completed already?
It doesn't happen over night so each investor has to do their own DD.
Yes, it would seem that the GOM clean up is really just starting:

As I said, GOM clean up is really just starting:

Sure will. Logic works for me just fine. :)
Nothing happens simply over night...common business sense.
Further information and updates will be provided in due time.
Hopefully with more numbers attached, too.
It's still an achievement that KC9000 made it to level 4 over tens of thousands of other proposals. That says something very good about the product, it's capabilities and that it's very real. KC9000 made it to the final review...about 41 out of 42,200 ideas. That's impressive.
KC9000 would be perfect to separate oil from contaminants for oil recovery. Maybe BP just isn't at that stage just yet?
Regardless, FDMF has other irons in the fire, so to speak, too.
Exactly, Wayne has always followed through in the past. It may not be that day (Tuesday) but it's been in the same week.
rjayplayer...I've already made those points before. I was just making a quick summary.
Of course the pps is always subject to influences especially if the float is small or not.
My understanding is that the float is still relatively small in the 50 million range, give or take. Which is still good especially in the pinks.
Even 100 million is good in the pinks. As it increases it just makes it harder to move up but I'm under the impression selling has stopped and most if not all shares have been absorbed.
But at the same time if investors continue to sell or get scared off...well, obviously the pps will decline.
You've provided some excellent research and contacts but I wouldn't suggest that all have dried up so fast. It can take weeks and even months for deals to be realized and confirmed.
MOP has many irons in the fire. There are other investors providing them with leads too that no one on this board is aware of.
Watching the pps drop is painful and all investors need to buy and sell at their own comfort level.
Just don't think MOP or the pps situation is fait accompli.
News flash - businesses are built on speculation. All business no matter how big or small have speculation as part of their growth process.
This is what investors do ... buy stock when the pps is down on the speculation that business deals will be made and the pps will go then rise once confirmed.
If investors buy stock after the business deals have been confirmed...usually the pps has already gone up and the profit margin has significantly been reduced.
The point is that MOP is at the party and actively participating. Sales of any product takes time and negotiation. Instant results are not realistic.
MOPN's pps has dropped but it's not so much directly related to MOP's efforts or performance but to temporary necessity to sell shares and the resulting effects on a relatively low float.
That is an inherent risk in a low float company...easy up and unfortunately, easy down, especially if the flow of information is being negatively twisted.
Any time a pps declines though it's easier for some to throw accusations around rather than go to the source or simply ignore the source.
Actually Rkor, I contacted MOP and Wayne put the boat spill kit up so people would see that they had added a boat boom and other things to enhance it.
MOP is going out to Marinas and others with this, so to them, it is new and he thought it would be interesting for people to see that. It was not intended to be news but rather just putting up a sell sheet that would be of interest. I believe it's called keeping investors informed.
Boom prices have actually been lowered twice, once when they were first trying to break into the Gulf and then again after MOP signed an agreement with Leigh Fibers.
To be critical of MOP for trying to put arrangements in place - so that they could respond to orders in the event that MOP could break through the noise is to ignore the previous criticism of taking too long to deliver.
Still don't understand what all this jumping to conclusions is about???
FDMF food for thought:
With this new deal it gives FDMF the opportunity to get the oil processed and benefit from the profits without the added expense involved in processing the oil. If all works out, FDMF stands to get 1 Million dollars over then next nine months or so. FDMF gives up nothing in this deal.
KC9000 is still solely FDMF's so all profit from KC9000 will stay with Freedom.
The fact that Brian has a director's spot with QGRC will better allow him to keep watch and oversee activities and protect FDMF's interests.
So for now this particular venture is a wait and see with minimal FDMF risk.
No doubt we'll be hearing more details in the near future regarding FDMF's progress in other aspect of business.
I tend to agree with you grtn5. Business plans are for certain purposes and MOPN is just getting started after much public exposure with some solid business growth opportunities.
When it's time, I'm sure MOPN will release a disclosure with more details, too.
Not sure what all the MOPN negativity is about or how accurate it is. It certainly doesn't jive with what I understand.
Hopefully, MOP can give us some details this week that will end this debate of conjecture and give us some facts to take home.
Some MOPN concerns? are starting to sound more like some sour grapes rather than objectivity.
Usually a good sign when chartists take an interest in a stock.
We'll see what MOPN can do on the next PR.
In the meantime check your mail.
lol...hmmm, MOPN seems like a real stock to me.
4, 3, ....??? Almost end of a days work.
Thanks for reinforcing the evidence of attempts at bid whacking today. Not much volume either...and MOPN's pps moves easily up or down.
Good indicator for the float...as you know.
15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5,.....and waiting.
MOPN is maintaining it's pps well today, all things considered. The buy volume is greater than sell...so perhaps some are quietly accumulating and waiting for the next PR.

Admiral, is this the same Delbert G Blewett from the deal?
Very amusing summary but as we all know that's not always the case especially in the pinks.
Day trader crews are working hard at taking your MOPN shares folks.
Do your own DD as always.
Well, that didn't take long...lol
It's certainly isn't Diamond who's work'n MOPN's pps right now, as you know.
As for Diamond's 'gagging' the TA for the float...it's always been that way for MOPN and is usual for pink sheet companies.
Seems to me the pps is low enough already...no need for more games.
Are you implying that a reporter, from the Financial Times, made this story up? I don't think so.

Entrepreneurs aim to cash in on crisis
By Sheila McNulty in Venice
Published: May 30 2010 23:43 | Last updated: May 30 2010 23:43
On the road in to Venice, Louisiana, sits a flatbed truck stacked with orange vinyl boom marked with Chinese characters.
On a paper sign on its side is a phone number to call, for anyone wanting to rent the boom for shoreline protection against the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The owners, Lorne and Scott, from Graham, Texas, do not want to disclose their full names.
When police stop to question them, they admit they do not have a licence to sell boom on the side of the road. The third or fourth day into the crisis, the men got some people on the ground in China to find factories and negotiate supplies.
They now have 55,000 feet, and with large parts of the coastline still unprotected, expect it will be of use in the weeks and months ahead. More is on the way.
“We saw ... that we were going to run out of boom here,’’ Scott says.
But getting their merchandise into the right hands has proved difficult, as it has for all the other entrepreneurs who see opportunity in the leak in the Gulf of Mexico.
“I’m trying to get someone to look at my product,’’ says Mark Hearon of MOP Environmental Solutions, maker of a biodegradable mixture that he pulls out in handfuls from a sack in the car park behind the Crystal Cove marina.
Mr Hearon has driven in from Jackson, Mississippi, and is doing demonstrations in a plastic tub filled with water. Sweat is dripping off him in the sweltering heat as he pours oil into the tub, sprinkles the green chunks of his product on top, and then pulls out all the oil-laden absorbent with a net. The water is clean.
He squeezes the oil out of his product back into his measuring cup, showing that it can be saved.
“America’s oil is precious, why not try to reclaim it,’’ Mr Hearon says.
On the other side of the wall is Steve Wenzel of Green Life Technology, who has come in from Alabama with three jars filled with varying shades of gunk.
The only ones interested seem to be the media, and he dutifully gives his spiel over and over in hopes the word of his environmentally friendly dispersant will find its way to the powers that be.
The product is not harmful to marine or wildlife, he says.
BP says it had received tens of thousands of ideas and considers them all. But the little guys believe they are being passed over.
“We’re up against the same thing as the other little guys who can’t get through,’’ Mr Wenzel says.
Late in the day P.J. Hahn, in charge of coastal management for the Plaquemines Parish county that includes Venice, stops to take their hand-outs.
“I bet if I gave everybody a chance and assigned them each a mile of the oil spill, this place would probably be cleaned up overnight,’’ Mr Hahn said. But that is not his decision to make.
“Everything goes through BP,” Mr Hearon says. “But eventually they [the locals] are going to realise it’s up to them to save their marshes.’’
And so the demonstrations continue.

Wasn't Wayne issued a large number of restricted shares in lieu of payment or wages just this year?
You've always been on top of this stock and some of the best DD if ever seen.
Good PR today, imo. FDMF is on the move to a more prosperous place, imo.
Very nice car, I like it! Good news.
In a few words, pink sheets, non reporting, not uncommon.
I would like to hear the actual float numbers too but based on previous information revealed and the way the pps is sensitive once again to pressure up or down, for example...I'm thinking we're still in a very reasonable 50 or less range.
Still of the opinion that Charlie will divulge all financials and share structure at the appropriate time, in the not too distant future.
That's a riot...lol...it just makes the offense that much worse. You were just kidding me, right?
Agreed!!!
And just a reminder, this is the pink sheets folks. Not for the faint of heart.
That said, I do believe that MOP is making every effort to become a full disclosure company. It's a process and not an easy one.
IMO, we will hear more good news in the not so distant future.
Good post and well said darmanden. Couldn't agree more.

In reply to: None Post # of 26226
Re Mr. Ginuwine and his restricted shares---I am certain this post will demonstrate my ignorance of the pinks and the manner in which funds are raised separate from those from the pink sheet trades or, actually, share dilution. May be just my ignorance, but I am extremely suspicious ---actually not believing in the story served up by Mr. Ginuwine.(and first of all, if you have concerns,--- folks like those presented by this person do not commit suicide as a result of criticism--so don't worry about it.). And I should point out that his mention of suicide was set out in a very "posed" and misleading fashion. That post was bs--but I do not fault anyone for expressing concerns. But anyhow, how does it possibly happen that Charles gets control of a 25 year old kid (who happens to have $200,000) and convince such kid to "purchase" 3,000,000 shares of restricted stock. This is where my ignorance enters but also where my disbelief of Ginuwine is created. Because I do not think he is a real creature. Look at the timing when the stock was at .23 when he purchased his adjunct shares. How quickly could Charles have contrived a 3,000,000 purchase when the stock was only "up" for a day or two? How does Charles find such a buyer?---I was never offered Restricted shares--were any of you? If you say yes I may not believe you. If and when are these restricted shares available-and to whom? Do they advertise in the WSJ. Do they invite only 25yr olds with min of $200,000? Is this kid simply the nephew of a good friend and Charles wanted to be a good guy? Where do I go to get some of these restricted shares? Sorry folks, but I think Mr. Ginuwine, who just showed up, is a fraud. Only Charles can tell us, but he must step up to the plate. In the meantime, I am ignoring the sob story of Mr. G. His story makes you believe he is a lost soul, but his vocabulary in his post makes him sound like a seasoned pro. Dar
At this time, I can say that for day traders a low float is considered to be anything under 100 million. I'm guessing right now that MOPN is still under 50 million.
A float of 100 million or less is easy pick'ns for a small day trader crew, much like the one we see working this board as of late.
Yeah, until the next PR...and MOPN runs again due to the low float.
Day traders know they can run this stock up at least 25% to 50% on news with a float this small. And the lower they can bring the pps down now the easier it will be for profit taking on the next run or PR.
No doubt...there will be phone calls.
lol yeah saw that. Unbelievable that you would actually post something like that and even post on this board with a purchase of that size.
I've purchased restricted shares before and am well aware of the consequences for public discussion and disclosure.
If it is true, it just makes it easier to track you down and hold you accountable for the NDA.
I'm looking in to the 25 year old speculator thing??? Doesn't make sense and usually an NDA is signed preventing public discussion at that level of purchase.
And to know nothing about being an accredited investor at that level of purchase...suspect to me and not buying into it. Investigating it is more like it.
lol still at it I see. MOPN will do just fine, as you already know.
They don't check because that person has to sign(witnessed) that they legally are accredited and if found to be otherwise, it's their own responsibility.
Also, signing an NDA is standard procedure.
Likewise sunbunz...MOP is doing an excellent job of progressing in their growth stage and taking advantage of every opportunity that arises.
It's just hard for investors to wait for finalized developments to be PR'd.
Mostly we have some disgruntled day traders or so it would appear on the surface. They're just positioning themselves for the next run on.
Yes and that is the name of their game. Negativity helps to bring down MOPN's pps so some can load up for the next run. Some are repeat offenders here.
MOPN's PPS will soon have it's moment in the sun again.
I'll sell my shares for $1 per share and can put you in touch with my broker who has them ready for sale.
I think this will be an extraordinary year for MOP. Just to rank in the top 10 for this X challenge, to start, will provide MOP with media coverage no one could afford.
MOP could easily win this now, plus they have year to enhance their capabilities to be even more effective.
MOP is making money now as it stands, so winning this could end up being Charlie's reward for his lifelong dedication to solving the Oil spill problem.
I did pass this along to Wayne so I'm sure they will look into this very seriously.
Right now first prize is a million, I believe, and could get higher with more sponsors. There are also second and third prizes.
