I like meetings where decisions are made and schedules established. Definitely looks like the company is forging ahead as quickly as possible. No BS here...

Someone just broke the ice with a buy on the ask...
Makamai
Aloha Banker...well the polar bears are out if force today with their same old rhetoric. Nothing new there. I'm sort of thinking we should hear how the Tigerfish meetings went any day now. Also Mineseeker deal was PR'd to wrap up this month so could be hearing about that soon as well. Other than that, sort of looks like most folks are tapped out and just waiting for news of any sort.

ByMor - to properly emphasize one of your more subtle comments, when the company buys stock, 100% of those shares bought come from the float. Some of those shares might be retired and reduce the O/S and some of those shares might be placed in the treasury for issuing as incentives down stream, but again 100% come out of the float which reduces it and tightens it all that much more.

Looks to me like a symmetrical triangle similar to a pennate formation has formed. You only addressed rising and falling wedges. The SP is presently trending up which is bullish (bull pennate). We have had 4 lows but only 3 highs within the traingle and are approaching the apex, so there is a high probability that the 4 high will break out. Of course news will greatly assist it in determining how high the breakout goes IMHO.

BANKER - I believe that laser technology has advanced to the extent that it could be used to detonate the mines, thus minimizing the potential for additional unexploded ordinance and the effect that exploding ordinance in addition to the mine explosion would have on the surrounding terrain.
See the following 2004 article "Laser Burrows Into The Earth To Destroy Land Mines" A quote from the article: Deminers will soon have a better approach: a compact tool that rapidly uncovers and neutralizes land mines from a safe distance by using extremely powerful pulses of laser light. Developed by a team of Livermore physicists and engineers, the Diode-Pumped Pulsed Laser for Mine Clearing (DP-PLMC) won a 2004 R&D 100 Award for its promise of revolutionizing the practice of demining. https://www.llnl.gov/str/October04/Rotter.html
So Mineseeker technology locates them, and Deminers technology eliminates them. Makes sense to me.
Makamai
Please explain to me how their can be "TONS of profitable companies in the anti-mine industry." and the mine problem still exists to the extent that 90 contries presently have issues with them?
Makamai
Yea - why do some folks luck out and other have to learn by the school of hard knocks like I did (lol). In reality, this could be the only stock he ever needs to purchase if even half the rumors I've heard about it are true.

BANKER - maybe Dean should consider the OTC-QX as an intermediate stop off to the NYSE. See below:
Makamai
The OTCQX marketplace is the premier tier of the U.S. over-the-counter market.
Investor-focused companies use the quality controlled OTCQX listing platform to offer investors transparent trading, superior information, and easy access through their regulated U.S. broker-dealers. The innovative OTCQX platform offers companies and their shareholders a level of marketplace services formerly available only on a U.S. exchange.
Who Should List on OTCQX
Many U.S. companies list on OTCQX as the final step toward a NASDAQ or NYSE listing. Others enjoy the efficient compliance-driven model it offers their shareholders outside of a traditional exchange listing which may come with considerable cost savings. For companies moving off an exchange, OTCQX is the ideal home that provides most of the services they and their shareholders have come to expect on a listed market.
Why Investors Prefer OTCQX
Investors prefer the quality controlled listing process on OTCQX which identifies the segment of OTC-traded companies focused on valuation and transparency. Companies that list on OTCQX demonstrate their commitment to providing superior information to shareholders and maintaining the highest quality standards.
OTCQX is fully electronic and gives investors access through all major online and full-service brokerage firms in the U.S., including Schwab, E*TRADE, Scottrade, TD Ameritrade, and Fidelity. Trades are settled and cleared in the U.S. similar to any NASDAQ or NYSE security and trade reports are disseminated through Yahoo, Bloomberg, Reuters, and most other financial data providers.
In addition, Real-Time Level 2 Quote Display (full quote montage) is available free to the investing public.
Services to Issuers

Have a great weekend as well...

Like you said PP, Dean has PR'd that we will be getting news and updates upon his return and I for one am certain that will happen. My DD tells me that it will be the news we have all been waiting for, as I've been in this myself since early July and its been difficult at times to remain patient. I do understand, however, that good things take time, and GREAT things just take a little longer. QASP was a good thing back in August, however I'm more convinced than ever that it will prove to be a great thing shortly.
Makamai
I can relate to that Spongeni - had a friend that I've been trying to simply get to open up his first trading account for almost 2 years. He got laid off his job 2 weeks ago and finally opened up an account last week and made his first stock purchase Tuesday - QASP at .0155 - Some folks have all the luck...
Makamai
Maybe there is a chance this stock will be infused with new interest in the not too distant future if hedge funds have begun to take it on.
Makamai
AMEN to that BANKER - money can't buy this kind of good will PR.

Aloha Brikk - just imagine what could happen to the float if the supporters of Mineseeker get wind of the fact that their pet humanitarian foundation has suddenly sprouted wings and their cause for aiding humanity is about to get off the ground for real this time. If I were one of the supporters, I would want to get in on the action with Quasar. Here is how a few of them feel about the need to rid the world of mines:
Nelson Mandela
Our Founder Patron (retired 08/2008)
“As patrons of The Mineseeker Foundation my wife Graca Machel and I take this opportunity to call upon world business leaders and statesmen to support a new technology that can hasten our quest to rid the world of landmines. I call upon you to stand hand in hand with us as we move forward to remove landmines from our planet, once and for all. I thank you.”
John Paul DeJoria
”I welcome the opportunity to be instrumental in removing millions of landmines and saving thousands of lives. I not only endorse Mineseeker but am physically involved, we invite all people to lend a helping hand as we should all participate in making the world a safer place to live for others - part of our rent for being alive.”
Brad Pitt
“I am honoured to have the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with my esteemed patrons in their quest to rid the world of landmines and welcome the challenge."
Dr Majid Alsadi
"To be part of this humanitarian undertaking that addresses a solvable problem which affects the whole world and countless people is a great honour.I am proud to stand side by side with my fellow patrons to build sustainable solutions to the landmine problem for the future of humanity."
Sir Richard Branson
“Something needs to be done to bring mine action back into the media spotlight. The Mineseeker Foundation and its patrons, I am sure, could make a huge difference, both raising the profile of de-mining efforts around the world, and in helping global communities to social and economic stability."
Dame Graca Machel
“As a Patron of the Mineseeker Foundation and on behalf of my country, I would firstly like to express my gratitude to our fellow Patrons and all of those who are associated with Mineseeker for taking the initiative in selecting Mozambique as the first country to participate in the launch of this unique landmine technology and the "Sole of Africa Campaign.”
Queen Noor of Jordan
“I am very hopeful that this new technology will enable us to accelerate the pace of secure de-mining and so the saving of lives and restoration of precious lands and livelihoods to needy communities around the world.”

Looks like the markets in general are ready to rumble again. Saved a few coin for the last hurrah - looks like this is it...

Underwater aircraft - sounds like an Oxymoron to me (lol)
OT - I'd enjoy the opportunity, could you PM your email address.
Makamai
Dale - You stated: "It must be nice to live in a fantisy world". I'm assuming you meant "fantasy world" - and in fact I do, it's called Hawaii and I've had the privilege of living here for over 40 years. And as far as taking you up on your bet goes, it doesn't look like it would accomplish anything, since several others have offered and you haven't responded to anyone.
I am very confident in my ability to perform adequate DD on stocks I choose to invest in thank you...however one can't simply perform initial DD, make a buying decision, and let it go at that. You have to be very diligent in staying on top of what's going on as things can change over night and get away from you if you aren't careful. Where QASP goes, I've been in the stock since early July and yes a lot of things have changed. However by maintaining continual DD I have continued to have the utmost faith in the company, its Business Plan and my investment.
Making generic statements such as "all pinkies are scams" is very irresponsible as I have found both pinkies and BB stocks to be very rewarding. I must admit that not all my investments in the past were profitable, but I chalk that up to the educational process and learn from my mistakes and have become more diligent as a result.
Hopefully you will be able to break out of your "fantasy world" that all pinkies are scams, by doing better DD in the future.
Makamai
In case you hadn't noticed it, your opinions are shared by a very very small minority. The rest of us will be hooping and hollering all the way to da bank. Next week will provide one last opportunity to pick up some cheapies and then there will be no stopping the momo this stock will generate.
Makamai
OT Catdaddyrt - Please PM me your email address.

Verity, you stated "IMO and DD, I believe when this funding is complete there will be another ‘ ? ’ funding deal right behind it. " Is that because you feel that the bond source for the present 350 mil loan to QUASAR has additional money available from the 1 billion total that it is part of and that Dean may have the ability to tap into it?
Banker, you stated "Right now I do not see the end to its value. Dean keeps acquiring targets and he will not stop anytime soon." I totally agree. That's his expertise, not running a conglomerate aerospace company, especially at his age. So I suspect that the CEO who is traveling to Germany with him could well become the new Quasar conglomerate CEO with Dean sitting in the boardroom, searching out additional acquisitions and JVs. Would that tend to make sense to you?
Makamai
Keep in mind where those bonds are coming from and where Dean is headed next week. IMHO he has more than Tigerfish on his agenda.
Makamai
Good overview Manti for those that haven't been around as long as you. As far as the market goes, I suspect that once the acquisitions have been announced, there will be additional PR efforts by the company including analyst coverage. (Skymark research is already sitting by the sidelines). However those coming in at that point in time won't have the advantage of the ridiculously low prices we have had for being willing to take more risk while the plan was in formation.
Makamai
I couldn't agree more - this is going to be Dean's crowning achievement in life and he's certainly getting off to a great start. So far he has been teasing us with joint ventures. Wait until he begins unloading the acquisitions and we can begin linking everything together and see what this conglomerate is really going to look like. In the end, IMHO, QASP will become a major world contender in the Aerospace arena and a very profitable one at that...and for many longs, this could be the only stock they will ever need to invest in to secure their financial freedom.
Makamai
You're right BANKER - the possibilities seem endless. Also, if Dean and conglomerate can tweek the technology to allow accurate analysis at a faster speed, they can utilize their own planes to carry the equipment, vice a blimp, or develop their own drones and other forms of pilotless planes for that purpose. The latter could be used in more volital areas where there is active conflict.
Makamai
Interesting article - looks like Mineseekers is the brainchild of Princess Diana..."There are over 100 million landmines under the ground, not just killing people, but disrupting commerce and society where they are planted. When Princess Diana died, landmines fell off the front page - but they continue to be a global issues which impact more than the physical danger they represent. We need to get rid of them."

Makamai
It doesn't get more impassioned that this..
Nelson Mandela "As patrons of The Mineseeker Foundation my wife Graca Machel and I take this opportunity to call upon world business leaders and statesman to support a new technology that can hasten our quest to rid the world of landmines. I call upon you to stand hand in hand with us as we move forward to remove landmines from our planet, once and for all. I thank you."

Well they have recently updated the website. Since it costs money to maintain it, with things now changing almost daily, I'm sure they will be updating it again in the near future.
As far as the News Release goes, on the Yahoo website, the NR reads "...JACKSONVILLE, FL--(Marketwire - 02/10/10) - Quasar Aerospace Industries, Inc. (Pinksheets:QASP - News) has purchased an option to take a controlling...." so I'm not sure what you are referring to as it clearly states the stock symbol, etc.
Makamai
Well Dean has a business plan that as he begins to expose it to the investment community, we are learning that it is far more complex than the initial 6 acquisitions we were told was in the pipe line. Obviously there have been additional issues that have had to be delt with along the way, however based on yesterday's NR, we know the funding is available and I suspect we'll be hearing about those long awaited acquisitions sooner than later.
Makamai
Imagine the humanitarian and good will PR potential this will have for the company world wide. This news alone could really put Quasar on the map. Once this hits other newswires and media outlets and folks see the good this can do worldwide, QASP will be a household name in many countries.
Makamai
I use Power E*Trade Pro and everything is working fine
Makamai
Agreed - no gaps to fill and maintaining that friendly trend upwards. I'm just loving it from a charting perspective and so is my stock account
Aloha Buddy - Yep, still here and will be around for a long time to come - gotta be where the action is and I've got a feeling that could be the understatement of the year (lol)
Makamai
If you count today so far, 6 out of the last 8 trading days have been green - like you said Brikk, the base has been well established at the highest level so far with the most green days so far.
Makamai
A penny a day would do fine by me as well, however once we have reached around $.20 to .30 the stock should begin to move in pennys vice subpennys so we could easily have our wish.
Makamai
I'm looking forward to the first 100M trading day - we hit about 70M in Mid January and with the right news 100M is certainly realistic.
Makamai
There is very little resistance to .03 and we've been there, although briefly not long ago, but that was news induced so it didn't hold. The base we have recently formed should provide better support for the next run to a higher level.
Makamai
I love the way this stock is presently trading - slow but steady increase which means the retracement will be minimal. However once news hits, the ride will get a little bumpy again but at much higher levels. Glad I'm in for the long haul and not trying to flip this. Long term capital gains are looking better and better.
Makamai
Aloha M&B - Not sure if you got an answer to your question yet, but what you got was the Outstanding Shares (O/S) which are not up to date as of yet on most websites. Since the O/S is greater than that, the Market Cap is actually greater than the number you obtained.
