The Giants are gonna LOSE this one, and 13 picker's in the Loser's Pool, are gonna be WRONG, including me ;^(((
ARRrrrrrrrrrrgh...

Yep, pretty SWEET! Indeed...But the Giants...
If they don't stop turning the ball over, a whole bunch of us in the Loser's Pool, are gonna be hating life today ;^((
Wrong again Mike2112...When you say:
"that would be contrary to many posts that state the buy back will start early next week."
Who are you going to believe? Poster's on this Board, or an 'Official PR' from HQ? The posts here regarding the buy back were speaking of buying shares on the Open Market for the most part...
If you read the PR that came out last Wednesday more carefully:
"November 9, 2005 - 10:03 AM EST
Phoenix Associates Land Syndicate Announces Systematic Share Repurchase Program:
Phoenix Associates Land Syndicate (Pink Sheets:PBLS) announced today that the company is initiating a systematic share repurchase program to retire up to 100 million shares of the company's common stock to treasury. Effective immediately the company will begin repurchasing shares through both open-market and selected private transactions in order to reduce the total number of outstanding free-trading and restricted company securities."
To answer some of your Other questions...
I've been 'Investing' in the Stock Market a Lot longer than you have, I'm Sure of that...
As far as the reason that I've heard as to why to TA was 'gagged' is: Because of the massive amount of phone calls he was receiving, demanding to know the share count and structure...He was ready to Quit because of this, and the Company likes him the job he is doing for them, and didn't want to see that happen...Plus, he's been a very busy guy organizing this buy back...
When the Company, and other Large Investors pull their Certificates, the MM's get caught in a 'Short Squeeze' when the pps goes up if they haven't been able to cover their shorts from the last run-up...That means they take a HUGE loss when they can't cover those shares at lower prices...They are hoping for the pps to go down from here so that they make more money when they cover those short positions...Have you ever shorted a stock? If you have you may have a good idea how 'Shorting' works...
When a Company announces a stock buy back, the pps usually stalls, which is what we've seen here recently...I would guess the buy back began in the pps range of .044 to now, though of course, this is JMO...
Mike2112...Why is everything that you post here so...
Negative?...I'm almost ready to call you a Basher!
It may be a good idea to learn something from the more experienced traders posting on this Board...
I suggest you read Cowboy's post this morning again carefully:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=8482186
Especially these three paragraphs:
"The share buy back is a combination of restricted shares and market shares. Do you think they would announce a buy back without having made arrangements for the restricted portion of the buy back. They did on the last one and the OS dropped by 10 million shares. It would have been more if Katrina didn't happen to come along."
"made arrangements for the restricted portion of the buy back"...(hint, hint)...
That the TA will request the 'Certificates' for, and retire into the 'Treasury', and will be a contributing factor in the "squeeze" he speaks of...
"Personally I feel a squeeze coming on because the company feels the SP is grossly undervalue at this time. And they are doing something about it."
Do you know what a "Short Squeeze" IS?
"The Company has never published a PR without them already knowing that a. the event was a done deal, b. profit was already locked in and c. they already were doing what they announced and the PR was a formality advised by their Attorney's."
"knowing that the event was a done deal"...Hmmmmm...Think about it...Even eztradin may not be that well informed about what's really going on here...His comments were rather general about what he's seen in the past...
Could the reason the pps has not moved in the last few weeks is because the Company has been involved in their buy back at THESE low prices, and may have already be near the END of the buy back cycle...
Just something for you to chew on...

And was lucky to escaped serious injury on the 'fall'...
RBAK is now one of our favorite stocks...My wife still holds her Long Position from just above 5.00 and she also Swing Trades it from time to time, with my help...I love to Daytrade it, sometimes for more than a day, sometimes for just a few minutes or so...
When RBAK goes Profitable sometime next year, I expect this Board may get a few new posters on it...You are the third poster to visit here, and I'd like to offer you a warm:
To the Board! I'm glad you'll be dropping in from time to time, and bring some friends around too, as I believe RBAK is a Very Good Company, and Good things are in it's future...
Later,
PP
NO!--Mastercraft6...It should read...
July 1.00
August 2.00
My BAD!
I must have had a 'Blonde Moment'...LOL
RBAK Had Three New 52 Week Highs IN A ROW!
Last week, on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday...
1Year/Weekly Chart:
Last weeks candlestick is almost a doji, suggesting consolidation...The pps closed at the top Bollinger Band, so it may trend sideways or retrace a bit to get back inside it...CMF ran flat, while the A/D line showed increasing Accumulation... The RSI isn't too high...The ADX shows the untrend strengthened... Stochastics are Overbought...MACD upticked...Volume was half of last weeks...A possible consolidation or retracement is indicated here...
2Month/Daily Chart:
Friday's close is inside the upper Bollinger Band which is still moving up...The chart pattern is a consolidation in an uptrend-Bullish...CMF and A/D both upticking-Accumulation continues...ADX still upticking-the uptrend is strengthening...Stochastics have been Overbought for days-throw this one out...MACD still rising-Bullish...Volume diminishing last two days-Strange, as it set new highs...Overall-Very Bullish...
10Day/Hourly Chart:
Stairsteps up is the chart pattern-Very Bullish...Bollinger Bands tightening-A move is coming-probably up...CMF and A/D lines-Show Accumulation...RSI breaking up...ADX upticking-Uptrend Strengthening...Stochastics-Overbought...Volume-OK...Overall-Very Bullish...
Overall-Next week may call for a consolidation early on, with it most likely setting new 52 week highs sometime during the week...JMVHO
Mastercraft6---OK...I'll take a stab at this...
PBLS will hit 1.00 by the end of July '06 after 'Audited Financials' are released, and a 'Listing' on the OTC.BB, or the Amex, or the Nasdaq Small Cap Exchange is announced...
PBLS will hit 2.00 in June '06 because of being listed on a better Exchange...
PBLS will hit 3.00 in October '06 for the 'Santa Claus Rally'...
That is of course if a Reverse Split is not done before then, which I believe won't be necessary...
We can 'Dream' can't we?...LOL
OT--KenDawgen...Yes, 'Paid For' IHUB updates every 30 seconds the number of new posts that show up when your 'Favorite Boards' page is up...So if you have ten Boards on that page, it will tell you a new post is up on each Board, and the total number of unread posts for each.
man4apenny...Most of the questions you asked...
In your post are quite clearly stated in this PR:
I like the "effective immediately" part of it...And as far as when it will be completed, I'm sure they will let us know...The last sentence of the PR promises that it Will be completed by the end of Q2 of next year...

Phoenix Associates Land Syndicate Announces Systematic Share Repurchase Program
COVINGTON, La., Nov 09, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Phoenix Associates Land Syndicate (Pink Sheets:PBLS) announced today that the company is initiating a systematic share repurchase program to retire up to 100 million shares of the company's common stock to treasury. Effective immediately the company will begin repurchasing shares through both open-market and selected private transactions in order to reduce the total number of outstanding free-trading and restricted company securities.
Mr. Paul Alonzo, CEO of Phoenix, stated, "This initiative signifies the Company's commitment and unwavering focus to maximizing shareholder value. To date, we have been extremely reserved in share issuances and are now in the cash position to reward shareholders by actively repurchasing outstanding common stock to further propel the company's underlying fundamentals." He continued, "It is our plan to complete this stock repurchase in conjunction with the ongoing initiatives in place to facilitate fully-reporting status and an eventual exchange migration. We anticipate that we will be able to complete both initiatives by the end of the second quarter of next year."
It appears to me that it is all 'Common' stock, though some of it is 'Restricted' stock, which has become 'Un-Restricted' probably because the time frame on it's Restriction has been fulfilled, and is now able to be sold on the Open Market...
That is IMO a Good thing, as when these Restricted shares became available to be traded, they could have been sold into the Open Market, thus adding that many more shares to the Float...The Company has decided to keep them out of the Float, and return them to the safety of the Company Treasury...
I hope this helps you to understand the situation more clearly...
LowFloatGoat...It sounds to me like...
You still aren't sure if you're a LONG or not...That's understandable given the action of the pps in the last couple of weeks, after some Very Good PR's...However, some of your accusations in this post border on Paranoia IMHO:
"I hope everybody can see the tactic that's being used here by some fo the "longs". They reduce the amount of pumping they are doing relative to previous days/weeks then try to pick fights with anybody that is willing to discuss some of the risks involved in PBLS. It's a common tactic used my manipulators in addition to other tactics like using multiple aliases.'
Maybe the reason some of the Longs have reduced "the amount of pumping" lately is: We are also a bit concerned as to why the pps decrease last week, instead of going up after the back to back PR's that Should Have given the pps a big boost...
As far as "then pick fights with anybody that is willing to discuss some of the risks involved in PBLS"...I haven't seen any Fighting going on here...This is a Public Message Board, and it is here for ALL to say anything they would like to, as long as it doesn't violate IHUB's 'Terms of Service' (and if they do, I don't hesitate to delete it and send a report to Matt for review)...What IS going on is members 'Discussing' topics of interest to themselves, and putting it out there for rebuttal and further discussion...
And your last sentence "It's a common tactic used by manipulators in addition to other tactics like using multiple aliases"...Who specifically are you calling a "manipulator"? I'm sure we would ALL like to hear your reply to that...That's a pretty strong accusation IMO, for someone that has only been a member of IHUB for just over two months!...
As far as using "multiple aliases" goes...If you have any concerns on this subject, I suggest you take them up with Matt (IHUB Admin) on this board:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=504
Using multiple aliases is a violation of IHUB's Terms of Service, and can be punishable by expulsion from IHUB...I suggest you leave a message on Matt's Board with these concerns, and I'm sure he will look into them...It is very easy to find out if a poster is using multiple aliases from the same computer...
One of my best friends has a saying that I have learned to live by: "If your investment in any Company keeps you from sleeping well at night, Get OUT!"
I don't know about you, but I sleep Great! Every night...
monkeyfrog...Have a Great time visiting...
PBLS HQ next week...I'm sure we will all be very interested in your reporting to the Board your impressions of their Operations...Which Divisions are you planning on checking out?...Sand and Gravel/Trucking and Construction?
Are you planning on taking a lot of pictures and or videos? If you need help posting pictures/videos/sounds into a post, let me know...I'll be gald to assist...
We also hope to make a trip to HQ the second week of December...And will also bring to the Board everything we find out...
pnew122...FYI...IHUB makes money on the 'Freebies' too...
It's called 'Advertising Income'...IHUB gets paid nicely for all of the ads that show up in the 'Freebie Zone'...
The Freebies have to suffer through the endless banner ads at the top of every window, and the other box in the top right corner of the message window...
That's why I post my charts smaller than I would like to, so that the ads don't overlap my charts, and the Free Members can see them in full...
So your comment that Freebies, are of no help to 'financially support' IHUB is inaccurate...
I will say that the difference in the IHUB experience is MUCH more enjoyable as a 'Paid Member', and highly recommend it to anyone that may be considering the upgrade...
pnew122...You're the KING of PBLS DD here...
AWESOME JOB on the Overvue Page!...I really like the new Layout you came up with...It looks much better...
But way more important than that are the Numbers you have put there...WOW!
PBLS is worth .16/share this year WITHOUT Rome Oil and Gas, and 1.33/Share WITH!
Me thinks we have a WINNER here folks...I'm glad we already bought our tickets for this RIDE!...LOL
Yes indeed QT...That's a good looking chart! eom
