I believe we have already reached the bottome (or are near it), so I do not expect it to happen.

Nice growth:
PERIOD ENDING 31-May-05 31-May-04 31-Dec-02
Total Revenue 3,769 657 0
Cost of Revenue 1,169 876 -
Gross Profit 2,600 (220) 0
The Price/Sales ratio is just 0.4 right now (see Key Statistics under Yahoo Finances). Any triggering event (some news are already due, IMO) should start moving this again, IMO. Do your own DD!

bellwetherreport.com: The Bellwether Report Issues Continued Due-Diligence for Pickups Plus Inc
Pickups Plus Inc (OTCBB:PUPS), is a company that our research team will be tracking over the ensuing weeks. They recently came out with a significant corporate development, causing a market stir. The BWR Research Team will continue to bring its subscriber's cutting edge research tools, and second to none customer service.
Pickups Plus a retail operator and franchiser of automotive parts and accessories stores catering to the light truck and SUV market, with five franchised locations in the U.S. and two company owned-stores, announced this morning that they have started to refocus its efforts in this Automotive Appearance Market. The main reason for this refocus is the overwhelming positive feedback it has received from dealerships to its unique ability to offer them a single source for all of their outsourcing needs. Since introducing its full menu of services the company has secured longer term commitments from the dealerships and are now processing 100% of the vehicles sold in these dealerships. This will, in the long run, create a steady revenue stream for a longer period of time thereby increasing revenues for the Company.
The company is the first full service automotive appearance provider that is able to offer dealerships across the nation a Zero Cost vehicle preparation and appearance program. The program encompasses a full array of dealership services. These services include drop ship vehicle inspection services, new and used vehicle preparation, environmental protection packages, a full line of car & truck accessories and a complete menu of detailing services for the service department to offer to its customers.
The company would like to reassure the investment community that it will continue to open stores under the "Auto Preservation" and "Pickups Plus" banners. Pickups Plus will continue to market its products aggressively to the Chinese market as evidenced by our Press Release dated April 19, 2006. This new focus will only enhance the company's desire to be able to create greater market value for its shareholders and continue long term commitment to profitability.
Pickups Plus Chairman Merritt Jesson stated, "I am proud to be able to present this update to the investment community. I am committed to the long term profitability of this company and will continue to research and develop strategic marketing plans that will create higher shareholder value."
Recently the company's wholly owned subsidiary Auto Preservation, Inc. (AP) has signed a master distribution agreement with MG Marketing Inc. of Westminster, Maryland.
MG Marketing, after utilizing ValuGard Environmental Protection Products for some time now has successfully negotiated with Auto Preservation to distribute the ValuGard product line throughout all their distribution channels in the Mid-Atlantic Region.
"We are pleased to announce this new master distribution agreement with MG Marketing Inc.," stated Pickups Plus Chairman Merritt Jesson. "MG Marketing will be able to expand our product reach in markets that we had not penetrated as yet, to be able to do this with a company that is already knowledgeable with our products is an added bonus." "Our complete satisfaction with the ValuGard suite of products has motivated us to combine our efforts with those of Auto Preservation to distribute the ValuGard product line to our distribution channels, a product that is second to none," stated MG Marketing Inc. President Mike Golden. "We look forward to a long and profitable relationship." ValuGard Environmental Protection Products - paint sealant, undercoating, rust proofing, and leather/vinyl and fabric/carpet protectors - are used by automotive dealerships worldwide.
Currently trading up 10% over yesterday's close of $0.015, Pickups Plus continues to trade on volume significantly higher then ever before.
Yesterday the company enjoyed a nice surge, as they traded as high as $0.027, but have since then settled down and look like a great opportunity once again. Things are definatley rolling now for this company with its current price seems very undervalued. The BWR Research Team will continue to follow the market sentiment on this company and numerous others.

Part (IV)(3) Anticipated Changes in Results of Operations
The registrant anticipates reporting a material change in results of operations for the year ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the year ended March 31, 2005. For the year ended March 31, 2006, the registrant incurred an overall loss of $(2,223,302), or ($.02) per share, which was an increase of $968,899 from the net loss of $(1,254,402), or ($.02) per share for the prior period. The net losses for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 include non-cash expenses including interest expense of $408,543 and $613,151, respectively, of which $207,347 and $383,333, respectively, relates to debt discount amortization expense, and expense charges for stock issued for services of $1,125,507 and $8,000, respectively. The year ended March 31, 2005 also includes $188,542 of amortization of deferred compensation and a gain of $250,000 for the forgiveness of interest accrued and unpaid for the convertible debentures. The increase in expense charges for stock issued for services and employee expenses are the principal causes of the increase of $968,899 in the loss from operations.
"For your order to buy 65000 shares of GDVI at 0.0601 limit, good for today:
You bought 25000 shares of GDVI at $0.0601 on 06/28/2006.
This is a notification of a partial fill."
Got an extra 25K, for a total of 50K shares thus far today. This is the way to go. Loading in the dips. Sooner or later the PPS should adjust itself to better reflect the already proven agressive growth of this company, with an already positive net revenue, and good growth potential going forward. All we need is some triggering event, and this will start moving, IMO.
Mike
PockerVertigio, I would stay away from that "XX" pseudo-company. It's a big fake, IMO. ESLR is one of the best solar PV company to be in, long-term that is.
Of course, this is AJIMO.
Mike
Still loading in the dips, and hoping for the best. EOM
Mike
To keep your sanity, and if you believe it's worth it, you folks might want to do what I'm doing: loading as much as you can in the dips. The rewards should be very near for the short-term players, IMO. And, despite the dilution, long-term keepers should collect their (bigger) rewards after the first winter Q.
Mike
"I picked up 200,000 shares today and will hold for a while."
If you picked them up @ below 0.01, I trust it's good. But, don't keep them for too long. Once you make a double (which you should soon, IMO) you might wish to sell them, and eventually buy them again at a lower price.
Mike
Re: "It's difficult to gage what's been driving the stock over the past couple of days"
1. 10-K should be out early July
2. followed by the 1-st Q 10-Q ealy August.
We already know we are going to have good numbers on both.
It all depends on the dilution. Regardless, I feel we should move once again to upper 0.02's, then dilution (if still active) might still do its trick again.
I think you did it last time. Did you or anyone else call for the new OS count?
Mike
For those (including myself) that bought shares in the 0.007's and not sold on Friday (?), lesson learn: these "puppies" jump frequent, and could jump high, but are afraid of heights. With these "things" (and based on the 10-K, this might turn to be yet another silly puppy), you got a double, take it. Oh well, it might still go up with some better news. And when, and if it does, I might get out all together.
Mike
Re: Thinking this may bounce soon. Any thoughts?
Yes, I think the cat will jump soon. See post # 106. I still stand by it.
Mike
Question to the board,
Have you seen the restated 10-Q today?
http://www.pinksheets.com/quote/print_filings.jsp?url=%2Fredirect.asp%3Ffilename%3D0001173473%252D06...
How come the OS dropped to 107,974,507 in 2006 from 244,390,213 in 2005? Did they actually dropped the OS that much?
Mike
I think it has reached it already.
Disclossure: I don't have any shares as yet, but I set today a buy order @ 0.0077. Got all 600K already, and I'm set up for some more. Short-term I expect a "dead cat" jump here. Predicted the same yesterday on IGAI @ 0.007, and today (with no additional news) it went up to as high as 0.017, and hopefully a bit more in the coming days. These junky cats almost allways do their jump. From what I know about this SEVI puppy (been in and out twice already), one might expect some pump from the company in the near future that will make the cat jump once again. But, if you do it, and this happens as I think it ould, do a fast in and out move, as most probably this cat is fearful of heights and can't stay for too long in the air. This is, of course, JIMHO. Don't follow blindly. It's your money, so you have to decide what to do.
Mike
Thanks MWM for posting it. The 10-K was still talking about 18MM OS. This is certainly not good good news. Given the large debt at 40% (or so) of the market value, the company has to sell many more shares. That might explain why the dead cat is jumping up and down.
For everyone's info, I just changed my short-term target from 0.03 to 0.02. To be on the safer side, I just set down the selling price of those shares that I bought at around 0.007 from 0.03 to 0.02. In case this works out, I'll take a chance with the remaining (free) shares for a longer term. Just in case....

IGIA, Inc. (OTCBB: IGAI) - Thursday's shares closed down 12.50%, trading 1,390,050 shares. Price per share fell to $.007. The designer, developer, and worldwide direct marketer and distributor of innovative personal and home care items, announced its financial results for fiscal year ended February 28, 2006. IGIA reported revenues of $25,532,151 for fiscal year ended February 28, 2006; a 125.5% increase compared 2005. Gross profit for fiscal 2006 was $16,163,879 or a 63.3% gross margin, a loss in fiscal 2005 . Revenue was $12,795,116 for the six months ended February 28, 2006, which was the period that IGIA began using funds raised from a $3,000,000 financing. Gross profit was $3,827,085 for the period, compared to a gross loss in 2005. IGIA's net loss was $17,158,737 or $0.92 per share.

Just in case you were wondering what is going on. As per my post yesterday, after the usual losers sold yesterday at as low as 0.007, the "dead cat" is jumping today. Based on the 10-K, a new short-term price target (unsustainable) of 0.03 is not out of reach, IMO.
Mike
John, the simple answer is future dilution. Read the 10-K. I only got a chance to see it last night, and after reading it I have to take back my 10 MOMO prediction. My new expectation right now is for a "deak cat" jump to no more than 0.03. These "things" almost always do this jump. This will most probably happen after people that over reacted to the dilution news sell their shares, and a new set of day traders/investors come on board. Despite the bad future dilution potential, nevertheless the company is increasing the revenue, so all they have to do is reduce the cost (mostly in advertising).
Based on the above, I intend to keep my shares. When the "dead cat jump" will happen, I may sell some of my position, and gamble the remaining free shares at least through the next few Q's.
Hope this helps,
Mike
Re: IGAI - 10-K is out.
At a first look, I agree with this poster:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=11572984
Mike
Thanks Squire, at a first look, it looks good, really good, IMO.
Mike
IGAI - wating for the 10-K to come out any day now. If decent enough, as per my previous posts, this has a good chance for a 10 MOMO jump. If you didn't check it out as yet, you may want to do your DD on it.
Mike
CKEI - also a pretty good story today:
http://www.amtdrt.inlumen.com/bin/story?StoryId=Cri:jWbKbmty1yJG1otm
However, no word about stoping dilution. If they stop it, this is a good GVPB right now. New entrants, however, be careful: this has the habit of jumping fast, and then retreating again.
Mike
OGHC - today good story:
http://www.amtdrt.inlumen.com/bin/story?StoryId=Cri:jWbWbmty1CdGYmte
Interesting to see how the market responds to it.

Question to the board:
Re: <<Sitestar Corporation, a provider of residential and business Internet access and value-added computer services, recently announced that it will conduct an online discussion to review the company's 2005 financial results at 8:30 p.m. EST on Tuesday, May 30, 2006. Shareholders, potential investors, media firms, analysts and other interested parties are encouraged to participate. ''2005 was a banner year for Sitestar and our shareholders as we effectively doubled the size of our customer base and increased revenue,'' said Frank R. Erhartic, Jr., CEO for Sitestar. ''In 2006, we are already off to a strong start and expect to build significantly upon last year's performance. We look forward to summarizing our short and long-term goals and objectives with our investors as we continue to work diligently to produce shareholder value.>>
Has anyone here participated to the online presentation? If so, anything worth mentioning? TIA
Mike
Re: "Getting ready to break out."
It should, but only after the 10-K, IMO. It should come as a nice 4-th of July present. Volume going down = (i) dilution slowing down, and (ii) the wating game has begun. Just be patient.
Mike
Good loading zone, IMO. EOM
Mike
Are you folks all loaded up? It looks like we are getting closer to the 10-K. If decent enough, this IMO has a good shot for a 10 MOMO, or more.
Mike
Re: IGAI, all time low today
Whoever has some pocket change available, you might wish to look at IGAI. They posted an NT-10K earlier this week, and the PPS has reached an all time low of 0.007 today (a Price/sales ratio of less than 0.01!) Check it out. This can easily be a 10 bagger short-term, IMO.
Mike
Good for you. This should go up, IMO, after the 10-K (hopefuly a July 4-th present).
I see the volume is down, which might mean the dilution is slowing down. If this happens, up to the 10-K we might go up a bit. If not, oh well....
I'll be posting a lot less here, as I'm quite busy these days. That doesn't mean I lost interest in this stock.
FYI: Whoever has some pocket change available, you might wish to look at IGAI. They posted an NT-10K earlier this week, and the PPS has reached an all time low of 0.007 today (a Price/sales ratio of less than 0.01!) Check it out. This can easily be a 10 bagger short-term, IMO.
Mike
Bought some more today:
"For your order to buy 400000 shares of IGAI at 0.0076 limit, good through:
You bought 232000 shares of IGAI at $0.0076 on 06/02/2006.
This is a notification of a partial fill."
Got them all, plus some more @ 0.0081 today.
Arguably, I'm the largest private investor here. Make it, or break it. IMO, we'll make it big after the 10-K is out! Shall see.
Mike
Re: "looking good or bad?"
John, it's never good when a company is late with the fillings. But, in the penny land this is not unusual. They have 2 weeks to do it, and if they don't, will see IGAIE as a simbol until they do it.
Thus far, the only good news we know (at least we think we know) are: (i) increased revenue in the first 3 Q's compared to 2004, (ii) an already very low (about 0.01) price/sales ratio, and (iii) a relatively low average volume of only about 900K/day over the last 3 months (which means no significant dilution has taken place). So let's hope everything is going to be OK, and it should if the company (i) report some decent numbers, and (ii) it does not bring us a bad surprise.
Mike
Re: "the filing would be on time, which is no later then the end of May!"
Rob, if your info is correct, this week we should see the 10-K. Looking forward to it. Just spent my last pocket change to buy some more @ 0.0105.
Mike
NYSERDA and many other NYS agencies provide lots of grants, as well as interest-free long-term loans to companies promoting renewable energy. I found several such opportunities in NYS and wanted to forward them to the CEO, but somehow I just can't bypass that Larry "whatever" "gatekeeper."
Question to the board: anyone here has the E-mail of the CEO, or CFO? The bad loan they got, and the continous dilution is hurting badly this company.
In any event, loading in the deeps seem the only good strategy here. I for one have loaded more @ 0.0151, 0.014's, and 0.013's last week, and if it ever goes lower than that, I'll take the chance and load even more.
In the mean time, I believe Larry whatever has to go. The CEO, and the CFO have to find the time to answer to inquiries of various shareholders, rather than keep this public relations guy. Being a start-up it's not easy, and most CEO's understand that. For instance, although I sold it already, and he knows that, Jay Wright the CEO of MOBL is still prompt answering all of my E-mails, and I'm still willing to help him with some public info that I think he should be aware of. By contrast, in my last E-mail to him (Larry), I asked him for the 4-th time to provide me with the CEO-s E-mail, but it looks like the gatekeeper is doing a super job in keeping it private. Told him I only wanted to discuss (free of charge, of course) with the CEO about some good funding opportunities I came across (while doing a good research - 5 people involved - of such opportunities, and discusing with a bunch of VC companies for my own R&D high-tech company).

Re: NGA
Thanks G&V. It looks good indeed. It used to be on my watch list last year, and missed by a bit the $2 entry a while ago. If it goes again to say below $3, I'll definitively go for it. That might happen, as some Directors (e.g., Sununu) started to sell (see below for Sununu):
4-May-06 21,239 NGA Disposition (Non Open Market) at $6.02 per share.
(Value of $127,858)
4-May-06 *47,000 NGA Disposition (Non Open Market) at $6.02 per share.
(Value of $282,940)
1-May-06 *13,000 NGA Disposition (Non Open Market) at $6.13 per share.
(Value of $79,690)

My two pet GVPB's: IGAI & CKEI
IGAI is supposed to have the 10-K by next week, and by following the web site (large # of new products), I believe it will be good.
As for CKEI:

Forget the election year politics. The price of oil will only go up, and up. The biofuels have increased over 1,500% since 2000, and will continue to grow fast.
This is a consolidation year for CKEI. Dilution should stop soon, IMO. Once some news about business and geographical expansion hits, the PPS will, IMO fast jump (and stay) above 0.028, and the new added business shall increase the revenue, and help the net revenue.
PS: This is by no means an advice to buy. You folks should do your own DD, and decide.
Mike
Cash, can't agree more. Thus far the deal with those lenders was not good for the PPS and the shareholders. What you have to keep in mind, however, is that this also affects the Mgmt. team. Just take a look at the # of shares the CEO has.
As for me, I'm pacient. I'm loading, and believe my patience will be well rewarded soon. Loaded a few more (165K more) shares today, as well:
"For your order to buy 165000 shares of CKEI at 0.0151 limit, good through...:
You bought 165000 shares of CKEI at $0.0151 on 05/24/2006"
Mike
John, we'll see after the 10-K. If as decent as I expect it to be, this could be a 10 bagger, IMO.
Mike
Re: "the filing would be on time, which is no later then the end of May!"
Rob, that makes more sense than the previous info you posted here. Here's last year's 10-K history:
IGIA, INC. 0000919603 10KSB 6/20/2005 2/28/2005
IGIA, INC. 0000919603 NT 10-K 5/31/2005 2/28/2005
So, if they say the 10-K will be out in time, that means it should indeed be out by the end of May.
Mike
