Talking about "stupidos:"
* They sold me a bit more than a week ago DPHIQ @ 0.32. Depending on how it goes today, I might sell it, or keep it a bit longer.
* They are selling to us at (or near) the bottom: GDVI, CKEI, and IGAI (see my posts on CKEI, and IGAI boards today).
* They are selling ICO, and (probably) buy more of that XSNX crap.
PS: For educational purposes, see my post on SEVI board yesterday.

Retail investors have been loading CKEI lately:

It's very unusual for a penny stock at this price to attract the atention of retail investors. Draw your own conclusion.

There's a good possibility to hear something about this soon, IMO (Tactica it's now IGAI's fully own subsidiary):
<<Tactica, which has continued operations since filing for protection in October 2004, anticipates continued success with its Wind Storm(TM) line of vacuum cleaners, and has immediate plans in February to air infomercials nationally for its Air-o-Sage(TM) products and continue marketing its Instant Cover(TM) product, both of which have demonstrated strength.

Re: CKEI
Go to SEC fillings. No new fillings since the 10-Q. So, I won't worry. On the other hand, under SEC fillings (see my DD), go under news, and you'll see the "gurus" there. Anytime they show up their face, they somehow bring the price down (they are loading, and the stupidos are selling). Same goes for GDVI & IGAI. After the gurus have enough, they bring it back up, and the stupidos start buying (some of them near the top). That's all, IMO. As I said, good time to load (or add): GDVI, CKEI, and IGAI, IMO.

*****IGAI: Pros and Cons:
What do you folks think? Please feel free to feel in, copy this, add, and repost. No pumping, no bashing, just facts.
Positives:
* Price/Sales ratio below 0.02!
* Low OS (~20M)
* Low Float (~4.3M) - insiders held many shares, and they never sold, or intended to
* Explosive Y over Y, and Q over Q renvenue, and decreasing loss.
* Very good Gross Profit/Gross Revenue ratio
* No R/S history
* Current price not in good correlation with latest good (IMO)news
* See previous prices
Negatives
* Large overhead - Mgmt promissed to try reducing the advertising/
* Mgmt salaries, too large - Hope they will address the problem
* No news - this is, IMO, the main reason for the drop, as of late.
Overall (IMO): It's a Buy.

Re: NMKT
Positives: (i) good Y over Y, and Q over Q numbers; (ii) P/S<1, and (iii) good growth potential.
Negatives: (i) TS (the guy is already discredited) pump, and dump scheme (ii) the BS talk about dividents (which, for penny stocks, always signals some hiden agenda), and (iii) insiders selling.
That's why my Buy order was only for 0.25, and as I recall, it went down to 0.27 (?).
At this time, I prefer to load more IGAI (it's at the very bottom again today - check it out folks, and I believe you won't be sorry), more GDVI, and CKEI. Looking at: MBAH, and PUPS (only bought 200K, and 120K, respectively, thus far, both @ 0.01).

OT: Nuku,
Yes indeed, NMKT it's a very good one. Good technology, good growth potential. I missed it last month, when it was in the upper 0.2's by a bit. I see it's up again today. If it comes down again a bit, I might jump in.
Mike
Stock,
Are you serious? Gross revenue going down, and and increasing negative net income? Anything with a P/S ratio of over 2, and bad numbers, it's a skip in my books. Plus, when you see these PR's saying that they are fighting the naked short selling, that should ring a bell for you. Usualy, the short selling it's done with the company participation, or by the hedge fund they are borrowing the money from (if they do).
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=CBAI.OB
Just compare the numbers of CBAI @ $0.14/share, with those of GDVI @ $0.084/share, and if you still don't get it, read again that tutorial, and my GDVI valuation below.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 21, 2006--Systems Evolution, Inc. (OTCBB:SEVI - News), a leading integrator of Microsoft tools and provider of business consulting services, announced today that its permanent placement division has achieved over $100,000 in revenue per month from operations in December, January and February of 2006.
The PR on February 27 states: "Mr. Rhodes states that SEVI will be reporting operation profits for November 2005, December 2005 and January 2006. Further guidance on SEVI's plans for calendar year 2006 will be released in early March."
Very confusing PR today. Be careful folks. Is it the $100K/month an operation profit, or just gross revenue? Fronm the Feb. 27 PR, that's what it says, but from today's PR, the language is confusing at best: they are not mentioning "operation profit" but "revenue from operation," which could one could read as: "total revenue," "gross revenue," and not "operation profit." Can it be just a typo, or a confused CFO?
Note: the operation profit (operation income), its the part of the gross profit that remains after substrating the operating costs:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=SEVI.OB
If anyone is in touch with these folks, in order to avoid any confusion, you may suggest them in the future PR's to talk about the "bottom line" (net income).

US Northeast Due for Major Hurricane - AccuWeather
http://www.planetark.org/dailynewsstory.cfm/newsid/35738/story.htm
The average ocean temperature it's predicted to be 5F to 6F this year near costal US ocean waters some sources claim. Since higher water temperature means stronger storms, the US might have to go through another disastrous huricane year in 2006. While we all hope that this won't occur, one think for sure: humanity has to take real steps to reduce the CO2 concentration into the athmosphere, and using more and more alternative and renewable forms of energy will be a positive step. CKEI will do it's tinny part, hopping that the big guys will follow.

Re: How do you decide when its time to sell?
Experience, plus you have to do your own valuation. See my valuation on GDVI several posts below. Weather or not it will go close to that value in the near future remains to be seen. One thing seems a given, however: whomever sells this stock bellow 0.3's, must be a real novice. Ater announcing the new large contract, soon thereafter this should go into the 0.3's, IMO. And, from what I understand, from RB, the contract appears to be under work right now, and if so, it shouldn't be too long before we find out about it. Regardless, as per my valuation, it should go much higher after the 10-K. At that time, once people are going to see around 5 cents EPS, it's not hard to understand that it will indeed happen.
Mike
OT: Stock
If you have any more questions, I have no problem answering them to you, as it seems it will still take a while for my own business to start moving again. But, I suggest you to post them (e.g., GDVI if you already own it), as we already abused these good folks here enough. They've been very polite, not to react to our many exchanges, but enough it's enough. Read, first, my "tutorial" I posted last night (?) in answering someone on SEVI iHub board.
Mike
OT: Stock
Forget the charts. Although an important tool (especially for undervalued stocks), they only relay on the past PPS move.
Take for instance the Barchart charts:
http://quotes.barchart.com/texadv.asp?sym=ckei
Based on them an amatour would have skipped CKEI last week, when you had 100% sell all over. Yes, with the increase in the PPS, the charts start looking better. So, the charts are not the best way to find a good entry point.
The fundamentals, that's what it's important. You have to try to understand what the company it's trying to do, and use your common sense (which might require you to have some skills in that area) to see if that thing can be done. You have to do a good DD on them, that's all. Plus, for pennies, as well as for larger caps, you have to do a good DD on the company's past history. Just run a Google on the company, and it's principals. Most of the time you'll find things that should ring a danger bell, and tell you: just skip it.
Mike
OT: Stock,
I do not discriminate. My cryteria are the same for small or large caps. Late last year I alerted on Covad (DVW) @ mid 0.6's, and it started to move a bit faster.
If you properly choose the pennies, I have however to admit (percentage wise) you can do much better than with large caps. Exceptions exist. At times large caps can also move nicely (e.g., several years back, got into NT @ ~0.5 average, and got out @ over $8).
As them (the larger caps) being safer, yes they are, but nothing is 100% safe these days. Those days are over. For instance, I see: VFIN, GDVI, CKEI, and IGAI, as safe at this time, or even safer than an average large cap.
Mike
Nice find Raven. I believe a doubling again in revenue should not be a big problem given the way the oil prices go, and the recent progress the company made. Thus far (since fall, that I've been following it), all that the CEO has promissed, he already delivered, and more.
Mike
OT: Stock,
I already had a nice in @ out in NEOM. What I don't like at it it's the shameless pump of that big guru: Tobin Smith. Be careful!
As for the ESLR, I'm in @ low 2's. You might want to wait for a while. These "big guys" that just cut their recomendations, usually have their way. I'll only get some more if it drops near 10, which it migh happen once these "organized tribes" set up their mind to.
Mike
OT: Stock,
1. ESLR is a legit company. Still in red, but with good potential for growth. However, all those "gurus" that just lowered their "guidance," could bring it down more. I'm also planning buying more, but only if they go a bit more down. They yet have to improve their bottom line, and when that happen, it will move, IMO.
2. Have you seen ICO? As usual, in the morning, these "organized tribes" brought it down.
3. XX, just a scam, as I said at the begining. Just look at those low-life pumpers, that because they want out were shamesely hyping the crap since that alert was posted. How many naives will loose their skirts....Some people never learn, it looks like. If it's too good to be true, it's usually just that. One of that nasty Jeff Siegel misleading pump (a mild one) of this self appointed "energy guru," it's also included in that alert. If people can't see how idiotic that pump is, what else can I say.
4. In the mean time, you might check out IGAI, and GDVI. They will move soon, along with CKEI, IMO.
Mike
OT: Stock,
You own me a beer! I believe soon enough you'll be very happy that you got out of that "XX" scam, and bought ICO, and CKEI instead:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=10227125
I bet you saw the nasty reaction of all those low-life pumpers on the "XX" board (I wouldn't be surprised to learn some of those "gurus" sending all those daily (criminal) "newsletters" on the "XX" to have been among the posters there), when I posted my two alerts (backed by some pertinent tech. data). At least I'm happy to see you (and hopefully some others) had enough analytical skills to recognize my posts for what they really were ment to be, and made the exit at or near the top.
Sooner rather than later (after they exit the crime scene), some of these (guilty as hell - and I hope some of them will end up in the "big house") "gurus" always start talking. They, of course knew all along about this being a scam, if after less than 2 hours of DD (just out of curiosity), I could figure it all out. In the mean time, what a disaster for some unaware people who bought this crap @ or neat $2.9/share (and especially those that still hope in a miracle, and after this more powerful alert are not getting out ASAP). Hope, at least they will clever up at least now, cut the losses, and run for their life.
Note: I have no interest whatsoever in this crap, but when I see such an obvious (develish) scam, especialy when it is in my own field that I pretend to be a well established expert in, I can't resist not to expose it, and (hopefully) save some poor souls from wasting their life savings, as many do. Years back, I did the same before anyone ever associated Enron with the word scam, and - at that time I even received some life treats from a few posters. Although for sure not with the same financialy deadly consequences, for educational purposes, I urge (at least the new commers to the market trading) to follow the "XSNX" saga, now that one of the gurus (who most probably was one of the members of the chorus promissing $25/share by April) finally tells it as it is, although not giving any detailed insight into the nonsensical technical part of the scam.
Mike
OT: ***Tutorial
Re: "i put a bid in on igai since you did so well on sevi. maybe you have the midas touch."
Qrunq (and anyone else reading this), no I don't have "the midas touch." I just do a good DD, and apply some common sense.
It seems that some people (over 90% of them, unfortunately) are always on the wrong side of the fence: buying high or selling low. As a favor to these (usually inexperienced people) I posted the fact that I got out, when I did - in the low 0.07's.
Disclosure: I never pump or bash (unless I believe it's a scam) a stock and I despise people that "pump a stock when they want out, and bash it when they want in." That behavior is very detrimental to inexperienced investors (traders), and we all should remember that we were all once in their shoes, and how bad we felt.
Winning Penny Stocks Rule I: Favor Undervalued Stocks. The best measure of the value of a penny stock it’s the Price/Sales ratio. The first step in picking stocks is to favor stocks of companies that are making money, the more the best. Study stocks of companies with rapidly growing revenue and positive (or going toward) earnings and choose stocks of companies which consistently make more money than they did the year before.
My strategy: To anyone reading this Msg.: are you (as I was before starting this some years back) tired of always loosing money? If so, I urge you to take a look at my strategy, and find undervalued good OTC:BB stocks. My criteria, includes: (i) proven revenue; (ii) good Y over Y, and Q over Q growth; (iii) already EPS positive (or close to it); (iv) with a Price/Sales < 1 (the lower the better); (v) low OS, and by comparison much lower float (meaning that the Mgmt holds many shares, and they never sold - or intended to - recently; (vi) no R/S history, (vii) yet sitting at or near the bottom, etc.
After I find them, and do a DD on them, I usually buy it at a price that I believe to be near the bottom. If it still continue going down, I do more DD on it, and if nothing wrong that I can find, I progressively buy more and more shares, so as to lower my average. This way at least I'm not sorry as I was recently when I only bought 150K CNCN (@0.03), and missed my larger order because of a messy 0.001, or so difference). Sold it a week (or so later in the mid 0.3's). For instance, IGAI: bought some @ 0.02, more @ 0.018, and a lot more @ 0.0155, and 0.0145. That's the only good way to go. SEVI's run should have thought some of you how crazy these runs (that are controlled by a multitude of known and unknown forces, and not by MM's as most people believe; plus bashing/pumping - unless it's very intensive, and done by professionals, usually does not have too much of an influence, as what I call "organized tribes," or the news move the price).
If you are aware of such a stock(s) (and only then - not because you want to get rid of it), you should also alert others. Usually, no one mind if you post it on one of your own (or former board -as long as you post the "Non-related" OT sign). At least I appreciate, and encourage others in my other boards to do so.
After you find the good value bottom stock, you have to do a good DD on it. The model below works, and can be applied to other stocks. In addition, you have to run a Google on the company, and on few people from the Mgmt (e.g., CEO, and CFO). You never know what kind of a bad surprise you might find.
Note: I never post an alert on any stock, unless it meets the above criteria. And, the fact that I post the alert does not mean that anyone has to take it as an advice to buy it. You have to do YOUR OWN DD on it, or at least a basic one before deciding what to do.
Examples of good value bottom (or near bottom) stocks that you might want to look at right now:
1. IGAI:OB
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=10080988
At 0.016 or so, it's a true bottom, IMO. I'm in with 1M, and expect a very nice run. This only needs some triggering event, and it will take off, IMO. Check out the ultra-low Price/Sales(*) ratio of below 0.02, low OS (only 20MM), ultra-low float (only 4.3M - the insiders own the rest, and they never sold or intended to), the explosive revenue growth, along with promising advances toward a positive "bottom line" (positive net income), the chart, to see to where it can go after the 10-Q in early April, etc.
-----------
(*) To me, a low (<1) P/S ratio it’s the starting point. For an average OTC:BB stock, it should be between 1.5 and 2. Some OB pennies have a P/S of over 100, i.e., CPVD:OB (P/S of 304); SKFT:OB (P/S of 225); MTNA:OB (P/S of 157), and MKOS:OB (P/S ~ 115). Some go as high as several thousand, and a few "sexy" stocks can have a P/S ratio of up to several hundred of thousand. I never buy anything with a P/S ratio of over 10, except in extraordinary circumstances, and I usually buy good value stocks with a P/S below 1 - see below. That's why I bought SEVI, when I did (@ 0.0102 average), but after the crazy up and down move, once it went up to 0.07 I thought it had reached the top, and got out. It still can come back, but in the mean time (w/o the "beginning of March" promised news, it could go a lot lower, before getting up again.
2. VFIN:OB, it's sitting near the bottom @ low 0.2's. Not for long, IMO. The Price/Sales (P/S) ratio it's of ONLY about less than 0.4:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=VFIN.OB
Compare the P/S of stocks you have with this one. Since the company has a Total Cash Per Share of the same order of magnitude as the price per share (PPS), and the company is near breakdown (in fact for several recent Q's it was EPS positive), the PPS, IMO, should be at least five (5) times higher, or at least $0.75 (assuming a P/S of less than 2), and much higher given the potential for growth after the two recent acquisitions. At the end of this month they will come out with the 10-K, and I expect it to be good .
Check out VFIN's Y over Y, and Q over Q finances, the latest news, etc., and I think you'll like it as much as I am. Do your own DD, and do it well.
3. GDVI:OP, EPS positive, just had the 10-Q out, but "silly" people who don't really know to do their own valuation. A good buying opportunity at anything below 0.1, IMO. For a pertinent valuation on this stock, see my "Valuation, opinion" on that iHub board. Plus, an individual on RB (that seem credible to me) posted last week that he just learned that the company is in the process of signing a major contract (he's supposedly leaving near the plant - that has 153 workers - and "one of his client?" told him about it. Regardless, based on my own valuation, this is something worth looking at.
4. Other good choices: CKEI (I alerted it @ 0.022), and PMED (I alerted it at 0.004) (SEVI I alerted when the stock was sitting around 0.01)
Conclusion:
If you are serious about making some money, you have to do your own DD, and use some common sense. Like with everything else, nothing falls from the sky. You have to earn that money, by taking the time to do a good DD. No pain, no gain I always say. Doing your own DD on the above (my hand picked pet pennies) it's a good start. At least you don't have to go on those through the a lot more painful exercise of finding them.
PS: Hope to see some of you posting on my other boards.
Mike
OT: AAA, although with a Price/Sales value of only 0.28 MGEN looks better, the concern with both OPLM and MGEN I will have is a declining revenue, and large debth. Compare it to IGAI, with a P/S ratio below 0.02, explosive growth, and the graph that screems for a big return. All it needs it's some triggering event, and it will take off, IMO.
You might want to have GDVI, VFIN, and CKEI on your watch list. At least (as an educational tool, if not anything else) just look what a combination of good numbers, and good fundamentals will do to these three stocks in the near future.

Prediction: In 2 to 3 years this stock has a good chance to easily go to over $50/share, IMO.
On the other hand, percentage-wise, small cap renewable energy related stocks such as CKEI have a much better chance to go much higher. In 2 to 3 years, if everything goes well, and the dilution can be stopped, CKEI has a good chance to go close to $1, which is 50x today's price. As you see, everything (even some scams) that has to do with renewables go up fast. Your former (I hope) scam, I believe it will start going back where it really belongs: into the pennies.

On RB someone (that claims he's living near the plant) said the day before yesterday, he known (and he sounds credible) a large contract it's under works. If that's true, this should easily go into 0.3's, IMO. People are plain silly selling this EPS positive stock @ 0.085.
PS: I just got some more ICO. Although the 10-Q results were not as good as Times has touted them to be, the forward looking statements are very good, and I believe long-term, this will become a high value stock. Again, silly people have been selling.

This will also help CKEI's revenue, and bottom line. Why you ask?
Let's just pick up one of the recent studies on the use of veggy oils:
http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/analysispaper/biodiesel/index.html
As you see: "Biodiesel from virgin vegetable oil reduces carbon dioxide emissions and petroleum consumption when used in place of petroleum diesel. This conclusion is based on a life cycle analysis of biodiesel and petroleum diesel, accounting for resource consumption and emissions for all steps in the production and use of the fuel. NREL estimates that the use of soybean B100 in urban transit buses reduces net carbon dioxide emissions by 78.45 percent.20 The comparison of carbon dioxide emissions and energy use begins with soybean cultivation and petroleum extraction, proceeds with all applicable processing and transportation, and ends with combustion in the bus engine. The growth of the soybean plant is assumed to absorb as much carbon dioxide as is emitted by decomposition of crop residue after the harvest and by combustion of biodiesel in the engine.21 Petroleum-based chemicals and fuels are used to produce the soybeans, but soybean oil biodiesel contains energy from other sources, including solar energy. NREL estimates that B100 reduces life cycle petroleum consumption by 95 percent relative to petroleum diesel,22 assuming that the quantity of biodiesel is small enough not to affect production levels of soybeans or other crops."
You will say, and with good reason, that CKEI is only involved with heating oil right now. You are right (although I hope this will change, and the company will also go into selling biodiesel oil). The main point I want to make it's that the veggy component significantly reduces CO2 emission. If it does it for biodiesel oil, it's not hard to understand it will also do it for the soybean based heating oil. That's why future regulations will more and more encourage the use of these type of products, not only because they are more environmentally friendly, but also contain renewable products, that help reduce the use of fossil oil.

Re: "GDVI is ripe for some positive terriotry..."
Dsp, just don't sell it to soon, as you saw some people were doing yesterday as soon as it tried to move. These people are allways there, but their supply of cheap share dry out fast. Oh well, this people it looks like are allways on the wrong side of the fence: selling low, and some others buying at the end of a run up (I don't call yesterday's small move a run-up; the real run-up should go at least into 0.30's).
Once you see the volume going down (meaning that the supply of cheap shares run out) that's when it happens, and then the price goes up again. The valuation that I did for myself, tells me to keep my shares at least until the 10-K is out. In the mean time, fliping it in and out it's risky, especially if the RB poster is correct about the large contract under the works. With the expected low volume to follow, its hard to get back in again, and once the news hit, when the volume goes back up, one you have to pay a premium price. Or, when the ral move begins, you are only left watching it go up fast, but w/o you, the way SEVI went yesterday.
Take it as a part of a tutorial that you solicited, and not as an advice of what you have to do.

OT: Odiaz, and the others,
1. Odiaz, if that question was to me:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/it?s=XSNX.OB
Also, check out the SEC fillings.
2. To all the others: Somehow (for the first time ever) this post will terminate my allowance of 15 free posts. So, it will be the last for today (my off day from my business).
For educational purposes only: check out my post on iHum GDVI on "Company valuation, Opinion," and today's answer to "Stock."
3. Re: Stock - in regards to your question on the GDVI board, I already posted here my strategy, and how I find what I believe to be good value stocks, yet sitting at the bottom.
4. Hope some people here are checking on IGAI, and hopefully are seeing what I see. But, before deciding what to do, always do your own DD on anything you buy. You can use the DD model, I posted here: "CKEI DD." Also, I hope none of you are amongst the sellers of CKEI. You never know when it starts its real move.
PS: As some of you might have noticed, I only alert on what I perceive to be good value bottom stocks, and when I see one I could at times go a bit overboard in expossing the scams. That's a habit acquired in my life long R&D and academic environments, coupled with some experience I've been acquiring (still learning) in running my own R&D legit high tech (private) business for the last 8 years.
Have a nice day,
Mike
Stock,
Funny thing it's that all this info was included in the 10-Q fillings, but (sorry to say this) some people are just not able to see the obvious, even when people like myself, and others spell it out (as I did in my previous post).
Mike
OT: Stock - Re: XSNX
That's absolutely insane, IMO. But, as they say, you always had, still have, and will have this kind of nonsense going on in the penny market. This "XX" company to me it's nothing else but yet another shameless scam (of the Enron scale), and a champion in pumping and dumping efficiency. Have you seen the long list of insiders selling this crap lately? Need I say more?

OT: Wood,
1. Re: Cornell financing, it's a headge fund that fast growing companies, i.e. MOBL, CIRT, CNCN, etc. (that need cash, but not yet qualified for bank loans, or venture capital investment) use. Cornell gets shares in return for the cash, and they are known as the worth shorters of any stock. They have NO merci on any company, and few of their "victims" escape from the death spiral dilution that Cornell "helps" the company to accelerate. Beware of any company using this type of financing.
2. Re: IVHG - it more looks as a shell company right now, but you migh have something there. The USA is left out of robotics, but sooner or later it has to address the problem. As you know Japan it's the true champion in robotics (not only for industrial use - hence increasing productivity, but for household use as well - they just came out with some robots that will help their growing aging population). This is a good stock to watch, IMO.

OT: Stock
1. MOBL - when Cornell is out, and the R/S scare it's gone, I'll be back in.
2. GZFX - as I already said, I pass anything that has a P/S ratio of over 10 (and this it's over 40), and a such a high OS (over 3B). This, IMO, can go any direction, but most probably down, and I would be scared about a possible R/S. Of course, I might be wrong, as I didn't do any detailed DD on it, so please don't take it as an advice on what to do with it.

OT: Re - IGAI
Why IGAI? I believe it's the bottom. Bought more @ 0.0155, and 0.0145 today. They are working to reduce the advertising costs, and if they manage to do it, it should go back to it's previous heights. Check out the chart. The lock of news, and nothing else it's the reason for the recent drop, IMO. OS of only 20MM, float of only 4.23M (the insiders own most of the shares, and never sold any), explosive revenue growth, and a ridiculous valuation: Price/Sales of only 0.02. This it's worth looking at more closely, IMO.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=IGAI.OB
Check out the Y over Y, and Q over Q revenue trend, and the chart. If the next 10-Q (due in April) shows the same revenue trend, and (hopefully) improvement in the bottom line, this has a good chance to jump on a sharp vertical slope, IMO.
As always, do your own DD.

Raven, I would add the most essential fact. If they increase their renewable-based heating oil involvement, this will become a "super sexy" (read white hot) stock. I hate soy bean oil in my diet, but for mixing into the heatting oil makes good sense. The market already (and will do even more so in the near future) will compensate well companies involved in anything that has to do with renewable energy. Various states are already starting to give good incentives to consumers of renewables, so CKEI will be a double winner as they will have a good incentive to buy more and more of CKEI's oil.

1. Re: ICO - I agree. Bought a few more shares myself this morning. Will see in the AN when the 10-Q hits.
2. Re: GDVI - a good long-term, IMO.
3. Re: IGAI - Yes, I guess I have to fill the SEC forms when I decide to sell.
4. Re: MOBL - Bought it in Dec. 03, after I spoke with the new CEO, Jay Wright (a very good CEO, IMO). Sold it last year @ mid 0.3's, bought back @ below 0.2, and sold again near 0.3. My concerns are: dilution, poisonous Cornell financing, and the R/S scare. Once these problems are solved (and only then), I might buy back.
