Re: TXPO
Let's assume Yahoo Finance is wrong. here's the revenue for the last 4 years from Market Watch:
(TTM) 12/2005
(TTM) 12/2004
(TTM) 12/2003
(TTM) 12/2002
Operating Revenue 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
Total Revenue 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
Be careful:
1. It looks as a pump-and-dump to me
2. Owing to the low volume, the drop (if the Q's are not what you expected them to be) could be substantial.
Mike
Re: TXPO
Where did you got the numbers from? Yahoo Finances show no revenue thus far:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=TXPO.OB&annual
Mike
1. "I check the Q's and the K's that's where the money is"
That's indeed the first place you should look at when deciding what to do. While there check also known indicators such as Price/Sales (P/S) ratio. For a company that shows steadily growth in revenue, and good potential for future positive net revenue, FYI the average P/S ratio is between 1.5 to 2 (I'm not talking about heavily pumped, or sexy, stocks that can have a P/S of several hundreds, or even thousands). At 0.011's, the P/S here it's 0.68 right now. Hence, to go to the average value above the sustainable PPS should be between 2.2 to 2.9 times higher, or from about 0.025 to 0.033.
PS: As for those promotional companies (a necesary evil) I would agree with you, except for the fact that they make the company known to a larger pool of potential investors. If you read it again, it's exactly what I meant to say in my previous post.
Mike
Re: I suspect people may be waiting on that and I expect a nice rebound this qtr.
The results can't be but good, IMO (based on info we already have). Amasing is that the Price/Sales is only 0.32 right now:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=SDGL.OB
For such a fast growing company, with such a good growth potential the P/S should be above the 1.5 to 2 average. Even assuming the usual 1.5 to 2 P/S ratio (which is not much to ask for an already EPS positive company), the PPS should be 5 to 7 times higher.
The filling should come out in about 2 weeks, and if not before then, once that happens this should move up nicely, IMO.
PS: thanks again "Man4" to bringing SDGL to our attention, and if you come along another such GVPB choice please remember many people on this board will be happy to look into it.
Mike
Nice, smooth increase in the PPS. This is just the start. Charts start looking better, and others start noticing CKEI:

SDGL news. Good news! EOM
Mike
Good job JoChef. It's good to see the "Ambassador" has indeed started its promotional work for CKEI:

Mike
Re: CKEI
http://clickableoil.reachlocal.com/coupon/?scid=196034&cid=28361&tc=06080119551432159&kw...
I see "Ambassador" (as promissed in July 20-th PR) started its promotional work. See the post I'm replying to for details.
CKEI could be the next mover, IMO.
Mike
For tomorrow, August 1-st:
1. CKEI Alert:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=12368166
2. GDVI filled the NT-10K this AN. Some good buying opportunity might follow, until the 10-K is out.
3. PUPS is trying to move on increased volume. This has a history of flip-flopping between 0.01 and 0.03. It's at 0.01 now. Check it out.
4. SDGL trying to make its move?
Mike
CKEI Alert: Tomorrow should be the day for CKEI to start moving. Here's why:
"The company currently maintains an elite sponsorship position with Google, Inc. (Nasdaq:GOOG - News), however beginning Aug. 1st, ClickableOil.com's name and a direct link to its heating oil services website will appear in the sponsor section of all the major search engines, including Lycos, MSN, Yahoo (Nasdaq:YHOO - News), AOL, Excite, Ask Jeeves, as well as the Internet Yellow Pages directory YellowPages.com. Ambassador Internet Promotions will be responsible for monitoring the inquiries obtained from the search engines via a custom designed mirrored website and unique tracking phone numbers."
1. If well done, the above promotions should start moving us. W/o the 10-K, let's try 0.02 as a upper jump.
If the 10-K come out in a couple of days, we might see 0.03 again, IMO.
Mike
Just the same if you are not too greedy. Let me give you an example of what not "being afraid I will miss something" means. Yesterday, at one point I thought of keeping some of my IGAI shares (just in case). But then, I read again the 10-Q, and discovered the very misleading infos they came up with, and sold all of it at above 0.05 average (a 10+ MOMO for me). It's now low 0.02's.
The true meaning of not being greedy, however, means when you tell others what you really think, regardless of the fact that it might hurt your own bottom line. Yesterday, I posted my prediction on the IGAI board that it will "nose dive hard today." And I did it before being able to sell everything. Hope my two (or so) posts made some people think twice before loading it at near 0.06.
When I post the GVPB's alerts (GDVI, SDGL, CKEI, and PUPS right now) it's because I mean it, and a few other posters here are doing the same. Working as a team, and using the GVPB's strategy we all can get ahead.
Got to run,
Mike
mid 0.3's, and I hope to get it. If you believe those $2/share story (I understand Murphy lanched), you might wish to buy the Golden Bridge from me as well. Sorry, but that sounds like the old predictions made by "Wise" (from RB, and now Yahoo board).
Mike
"People who heat their homes with fuel oil are bracing themselves for the sticker shock of the coming heating season."
http://www.enn.com/today.html?id=10952
Mike
I posted the alert on MOBL @ < 0.12. People that looked into it (see post # 275) could have bought it @ ~ 0.11. Some pump from Tobin/Murphy, and getting rid of Cornell will do the trick, IMO.
Disclossure: I sold my Dec. 03 shares (that I bought below 0.02, and then added a few more in the dips) in the 0.3's last year. It's the only good way to go. Buy GVPB's, after you do a good DD on them, and when your target price is met sell them.
Piece of advice (if I may): Don't ever take that approach: "Was afraid I would miss something." If you made a profit, you'll find many other GVPB's to get into.
Mike
Bring it on. Bought back my MOBL shares @ 0.1102 average. A 3 MOMO (for me) will do, and I might get it b4 too long, IMO.
Mike
"Mike any ideas how low eslr is going? Never thought they would drop below $10, you think they are going much lower?"
It is amassing isn't it? A company that long-term (due to its competitive advantage) has the best chance to actually make some good money in the solar PV business it's beaten down like there's no tomorrow. Cells made using string ribbon Si substrates (for good reasons) are gaining market share, and EverGreen/Q-cells are well positioned in this area. All they have to do is focus on increasing the cell efficiency, without increasing the cost. Solutions exist. This will increase their margins beyond that of the rest of PV industry crowd.
The only true danger I see is if indeed some of the other large PV companies (e.g., as you might know BP announced their intention to do so) manage to make a forced entry into ESLR's "garden."
The present drop in PPS, IMO, is a temporary situation. With this crazy market environment no one can really answer your question, except probably those behind the force (es) driving it down. My strategy here: the lower it gets, the more I buy. Hope this helps.
Mike
PUPS - next to move, IMO. CKEI should follow. EOM
Mike
1. "Hartamas Plaza Outlet - Cannot be found"
You mean you couldn't find it? Here you are:
http://www.towerrecords.com/promo.asp?page=Malaysia%20Stores%201
2. "Mid Valley Megamall Outlet - Closed."
How about (for instance) this entry on July 17, 06?
http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=3238
You do the rest....just run a Google.
Piece of advice: You better learn to do a search before spreading cheap rumors, and ALLWAYS post a sourse.
Mike
We'll see it over the next few days when the 10-K is out. All you should care now (at this price), if yo can aford to is: load, load, and load more, IMO.
Mike
Re: "Maybe ckei will be next?"
The 10-K should be out any day now. We already know we have over 100% increase in revenue, and nicelly improved margins. Once it (the 10-K) is out, we might not have over 1000% gain in the PPS (as we had today with IGAI), but (short-term) I clearly see a 100% to 200% gain as a posibility.
I'm fully loaded here, but I still loaded a few more (210K) today, and 200K more yesterday.
Mike
OT: I'm out of IGAI. I's been a while since I've got a 10+ MOMO.
Mike
OT: Sorry folks, it might have been my many shares (0.055, 0.054, etc) that might have brought down the price.
I'm out & hope you folks will make a killing. I'm happy with what I already got.
PS: Hope to see some of you joining the GVPB's MB, and help us early detect other IGAI-type GVPB's:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=5444
Mike
OT: Wavxwizard, the move today is more than anyone could have hoped for. No one knows really knows how high it will go today, but one thing I can almost assure you: it will nose down hard tomorrow. In any event, I'm not taking any chance. Sold more @ above 0.055 a while ago, and I might sell most of the other (in not all of them) by EOD. Read again the 10-Q, and read it well.
Mike
OT: Stock, got yet to start a pilot production of our proprietary high-efficiency, low cost cells first (I hope it would start happening late this fall, and produce several MW peak power/year by next fall). As of now we intend to keep it as a private company, at least for a while.
Mike
Stock, ESLR is the best (most undervalued) solar PV company right now, IMO. Bought some more today.
Mike
EPGL alert: overkill after the 10-Q! Low O/S, good entry point, IMO.
Mike
Stocktrader, hope you kept the shares. See my previous post. The GVPB's strategy works if one knows to do a good DD.
Mike
Nice to see the many new folks joining the fun. Except for a few occasional posters, I used to be almost alone
Buying GVPB's (Good Value Penny Bottoms) it's the ONLY good way to go. If you go there:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=5444
see post # 286 yesterday. Hope more people will join that board, and help us identify more IGAI-type GDPB's.
Disclossure: Sold few of my shares above 0.04, and might sell many more today.
Mike
Not bad, not bad at all. Bought yesterday more @ 0.0035, and intending to sell most of them by the EOD.
Mike
SDGL news. Today's news, plus the 10-Q due mid August should start moving this nicely. Still in the low 0.07's, but not for too long, IMO.
Other stocks to report soon (any day now):
GDVI (always moves after the 10-K)
CKEI - the 10-K should move it to around 0.02's, IMO (it's now @ 0.011)
Mike
Congratulations to those that bought IGAI yesterday. The other gambling thing (FNIX) yet to make its move, IMO.
Mike
Secured Digital Applications to Partner With Kioskmedia

FYI: If they do not apply for an extension, GDVI should release the 10-K by the end of this month. That should end the wating game here. Somehow, I got a good feeling about it.
Mike
10-K should be out any day now. That will move this, IMO.
Mike
Thanks Skidos, Bones and Member for keeping the board alive. Been very busy lately, so could not look into your stocks. I barely have enough time to follow mine.
Keep an eye on:
GDVI - 10-K due soon
CKEI - 10-K due any day now
SDGL - I believe it's at or near the bottom. Any news will move it nicely.
Other good choices right now, IMO: SYTE, PUPS, and for gamblers (fast in and out): IGAI @ FNIX.
Mike
