think we're on to a possible 10 banger in 3-5 years...check out the ceo's previous track record...this guy's a winner! sounds like it's just a matter of time before some large order(s) come in...then, it's off to the races!
100 shares trading with 45 minutes to go. Must be sewer dog doubling his position? What do you know dog? How bout sharing the info?
And the reason why I would need to prove to you what number of shares I have is ???? Just for that stupid comment, you are no longer on my Belagio Hotel UGSI Celebration party invite list.
300K turning into 3mil in 3-5 years....i'll be happy to wait! i'll even throw a party for all my investors hub friends who have been waiting with me on this site. (you're included sewer dog, futures jackal + a few othes). meet me at belagio in vegas dec 31, 2015...on me...just ask for fred at the desk! put it on the calendar!
OK Sewer Dog...you got me. FredUGSI is really George Hamilton! and I love UGSI! How many stocks do you know that have only $0.17 downside risk!
HEK fans = UGSI fans! Hey boys, if you really want a stock that will take off, check out UGSI, a stock that is partially owned by HEK. They're the ones supplying the PVC pipe to HEK for the wells. website is undergroundsolutions.com. stock is at $0.18 because they don't YET provide the street with financial guidance. They will someday and then it's "off to the races"
ATTENTION UGSI EMPLOYEES! INVESTORS SUCH AS MYSELF NEED INFORMATION FROM YOU. WHEN WILL THE COMPANY START PROVIDING FINANCIALS? WHEN WILL THE COMPANY START SUPPORTING ITS STOCK? WHEN WILL THE EMPLOYEES RESTRICTED STOCK FINALLY BE ABLE TO BE SOLD. HELP US HELP YOU BY PROVIDING THIS SITE WITH MORE INFORMATION. THANK YOU.
first UGSI sec filing since 2/09. pictet asset mgmt now owns 56million shares? i don't understand because i thought they had puked their position and HEK bought it? can someone clarify this information? thanks. http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1176473/000095012311013328/b84955ussc13gza.htm
Jackal. Nice macro article on water shortages. Thanks. Fred
Hey Sewer Dog. Relax my man. I know you're taking a beating on your 2000 shares that you own, but be patient...2014 is only 3 years away and maybe, just maybe we'll have a $0.30 stock by then. Go UGSI...Go Andy!
Interesting comment regarding MWA's business:
BANGALORE, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Shares of Mueller Water Products Inc (MWA)
fell 15 percent on Wednesday, a day after the company said it remained cautious on its near-term outlook due to rising raw material costs and uncertainty in its municipal market.
"Spending growth on water infrastructure by municipalities appears to have slowed ... due to perceived uncertainty around both funding availability and financing costs," Chief Executive Gregory Hyland said on a call with analysts.
Analyst Anthony Fritz of Gabelli & Co said weakness in Mueller's key municipal markets could affect demand in the second half of the year.
When will Andy be sending out his shareholder letter? I wish he would just tell us that he wants to remain "private"; then we won't have to keep wasting our time on this site reading useless information. Here's an example of some of the useless information this past week or so....(1) I can't believe he has 1 million shares of stock...how will he ever get out of his position? (2) 60,000 shares bought at the bell; stock must be going higher.
If one doesn't have anything fundamental to say on this stock, just don't say anything. Quit wasting everyone's time.
Hey Sewer Dog...you might be right on the trading of the stock + the end of the year portfolio adjustments we all know of. You could also be just a little upset in that you sold your total position, I think, at $0.16 or so? But then again, our new guy on the site could be right about merger possibilities. And yes, I'm a 1m + owner of the stock for a long time. Part of my speculative investment package. I look for 10 baggers in this package and UGSI fitted the mold years ago and still fits it today. I'm looking forward to Andy's update letter to shareholders in a couple weeks. Bottom line is he's been growing revenue 20% + every quarter since he's been in charge. Not bad by any standards. And as everyone knows, I'M PATIENT!
Good stuff Obamination! Haven't see your name on this site before. Good to have you! I hope the company doesn't sell out at this ridiculously low price. The reason why I own over a million shares (bought between $0.14 and $0.52 over the past 7 years) is I thought the stock could be worth over $2/share. Maybe I was just a dreamer, but Andy Seidel and his boys don't just want a 4 bagger (they're in at $0.08), they want a 20+ bagger (that would be $1.60+....
what's with the stock price today? anyone have any information. up 52%...got to be a mistake, right?
OOOPS!
Jackal always has been optimistic type of guy and likes looking at the big water picture (which I like)...
Don't remember this blurb...but obviously the Jackal probably wishes he'd hadn't talked with Andy at 6:45am...maybe Andy didn't have his morning coffee and possibly misspoke about the date...he meant to say 2014? :)
financial crisis in 2008 definitely put a crimp in a lot of company's strategic planning, however, UGSI has never publicly told its shareholders it was going AMEX in 2009; it was only hearsay, and rumors. the big problem here is the company, although it is actually public, doesn't want to be public. in that case, andy needs to just buy the shareholders out...at lets say $0.32/share? that makes the original shareholders and most of its employees earn 4 times its money! that's fair, isn't it? HEK earns about 2.5X its investment, and all the rest of us dummies, including myself are left with a long term capital loss or break even, depending on what are average costs have been over the years. this is not and never will be a "day trading stock", so we don't have to worry about those idiots...
Over a month and no action on this board. Just like the stock...no action. I would expect selling pressure on UGSI between now and the end of the year (tax loss reasons). I would guess stock closes around $0.13 or so by Jan 1. Absolutely no interest/info on this name, and therefore, when one wants to sell, no buyers. I'm hopeful 2015 will be the "year of the pipe". Who knows, this stock could get back to $0.25 by then!!!
anything new here? stock's been doing nothing. acquisition looks interesting, but i don't sense there's any real reason to jump in, unless i'm wrong... any help here? thanks...also, UGSI been doing nothing also....i know both are great names long term, but anything NEW?
Thanks for your honesty h20dan...I'm also a disappointed believer and have owned this stock for close to 7 years. At this point, with the new congress intact, spending on infrastructure will be on hold for at least a few years. If this company is to survive, they're going to have to tap into the international markets and increase their business with HEK (owner of 12.5% of the company at $0.12/share). I wish them the best and believe this is still going to be a great company long term (3-5 years +). Don't ever expect the company to come out with any press releases/news releases. They would rather be a private company until their revenues hit $101 million++. Then they'll do some deal.
Great article in this month's Water Efficiency:
http://www.waterefficiency.net/november-december-2010/conveyance-catch22-pipes.aspx
Macro issues are unbelievable! $2 trillion in money needed to fix/repair/maintain all the pipes in the U.S. Wonder how much UGSI is getting of this. 90% of the pictures in the article are UGSI pipes.
I'm holding on till 2013. This will take time, but the payoff will be worth the wait.
REPEAT: NOT A TRADEABLE STOCK. LONG TERM INVESTORS ONLY. NO TRADERS ON THIS ONE!
you might be right on this one idzi! good call! i bought 5k more on friday around $3...now own 25k shares of this stock. great long term story. people in the know really like this ceo. products and technology are real...more of a long term story, but would love to see stock back up to $5 ish or so....
stock down almost 24% today and no comments/nothing new from management. if we wait for the "shareholder letter", stock could be under $0.10! Management obviously doesn't care about its shareholders. Maybe they want the stock at $0.08 so they can take the company private? What about it Andy??
nope! maybe $3?
So M_A_D, if you communicate with the company on a regular basis, maybe you can share your thoughts on what mgmt plans on doing? are you buying stock at this level? what is this company worth?
hey gnmk shareholders. any idea when the bleeding will stop. great company long term, but when is this stock going to stop going down??
Sewer Dog, you get credit for the continuous warnings you've posted here. Yes, I think Andy does really read this investorshub stuff, because he gets input from his only true public shareholders on a regular basis...you, me and jackal. The rest of the shareholders are insiders, closely held, HEK and 3 or so hedge funds who are in this deal at $0.08/share. (HEK in it at $0.12). I understand management is not talking to the street in any way, shape or form. I'm just praying for some relief here soon!
Nicely said Mr. Jackal! Andy, please give your loyal shareholders (the little people) more information on the shareholder letter. How about some revenue and earnings numbers? How about a yearly "annual report" depicting what the plans are for the company for the next year, two years, 3 years. Otherwise, things could get pretty bad, shortly. I'm sure UGSI mgmt doesn't want 3, 4, 5 million shares dumped on the market. But this could happen...quickly if patience wears too thin. I know one investor who has a timetable, 7 digits in stock ownership, and a limit price of $0.12! And as the Mens Warehouse guy says, "AND I GUARANTEE IT"!! Andy, a lot of us know what a super leader you are. We recognize the excellent performance the company has had (albeit a very, very low base), and the talent you have put together at UGSI. But the "little people" need more reassurance!!!
Interesting comments, Sewer Dog...Can't say I disagree with you at all. Just wondering where all the selling is coming from... 800k yesterday, 550k last week. Wondering if former chairman/president, smith, getting out because his scam venture is falling apart? Care to comment Jackal?
Someone wants out big....any news whatsoever??? I would buy more if there was any reason to. 450,000 shares trading...$0.16 to 0.18...
Understood...If we only had SOME information, we could make SOME decisions, ie, buy more stock, sell some stock, etc. Andy's quarterly "updates" are not enough for loyal shareholders to make decisions. Sure hope the next shareholder letter says something like this. "We just had our first multi-million dollar order from a Middle-Eastern country. This is a multi-year contract and we are working on another half dozen of these contracts with other foreign countries". Dream, dream dream dream....dream dream dream dream dream....
Hey Jackal and Sewer Dog! Why not get on the Heckmann conference call and ask questions about UGSI? HEK reports on 8/9. Check out website for details on conf call. Maybe we can collectively get a little more information on UGSI via Dick Heckmann. Best regards to you two As I've stated before, I have some more patience on this investment. Will wait till end of 2011 then will start peeling away at my holdings if nothing concrete happens. Time to start thinking about doing some things for the shareholders!!
Definitely disappointing at this time. Municipalities are not spending the money. I hear that some of the original financing arms, The Water Fund, Wynnefield, etc. are anxious to "get their money" or at least part of it. Remember, their cost (and Andy's and other top mgmt) is $0.08/share. The company wants to do it right, however, I hear their is "some" pressure to monetize the investments. How they would do this is still very uncertain. I'm in this for the long haul...but my patience is probably 2011. Once 2011 ends, my investment with this company may end. And where is the quarterly update?
Gulf Spill "solution"? Heard on Coast to Coast radio show this morning of a caller who mentioned the advantages of PVC pipe and how this could be a solution to capping the gulf oil problem. Let's get Andy to contact Barack and tell him UNDERGROUND SOLUTIONS IS THE SOLUTION!!!! Go UGSI!!
long time since i looked at this stock. does anyone know if they still build batteries in china?
not too much new on this site lately, however read my comment from april 7th. not too bad, i would say...this is a hype POS stock, compliments of Mark Smith.
hey dog...yea, i like the volume the past couple days...i will tell you i have not been involved and honestly do not know why the spike in volume. $0.35 is a dream price for now...wish i knew where the seller was as far as his position. could it be Mark Smith, the former founder/CEO of the company. wonder how much stock he still owns...
large volume in a lousy tape and stock up 4% today! go baby! HEK reported it's quarter, but nothing significant as it relates to UGSI.
a super growth story on a company that wishes it were private...that's the problem i have in being a long term large shareholder...i love the story, andy and mgmt, the board, the direction the company is going, the high growth rate, the shareholder base...i hate the fact that andy has stated time and time again, that he "wishes the company were private"...
the long term shareholders, Wynnefield Capital (also has board member, Peter Black) and the Water Fund are patient long-term shareholders who eventually will have to "CASH IN". What the plan is I don't know, but long term has been already 7 years for them (and me). Let's get this deal going for its shareholders who have been patient!
Sewer dog to answer your question on why i'm "advertising what I'm buying. This is for the good of all my friends and relatives and those who are looking at this site to get more information. One needs to put in limits and "all or none" orders when wanting to sell or buy this stock...If one puts in sell limits all or none at 20K or more, myself and/or others will be there to buy. And Sewer Dog, I like your comments. As frustrating as I sometimes get, I'm still a believer!
