Jackal, please keep info flowing...it's been valuable for lt shareholders like me....sewer dog is a great comedian and my advise to the dog is to look at St. Thomas...and the qoute from someone as it relates to Thomas. "Blessed are those who believe and have not seen". Go UGSI!
caution everyone...do your homework on this POS. this is an outright SCAM... a pure ZERO stock...be careful everyone and remember fred UGSI has said it on 4/29/10. STOCK IS A SCAM AND WORTH NO MORE THAN ZERO!!
a few good comments here lately on a post that's relatively boring...and as most of you know fredugsi has owned this stock for over 7 years...i bought stock from $0.14 to $0.52 and everything in between. anyone who says "i've bought a large position, or i've sold a large position the past week/month" is outright lying? The stock only trades 20K shares a day on average...and when there is a rare day where 100K shares trade, guess what? i know who the seller/buyer is, generally...in my 7 years of owning this i have never sold a share and i'm desparately looking to buy 100K to 250K more, but I'm not screwing with anything but "all or none" type orders. if you see 20K type lots of stock to buy, guess what...it's either me or a relative or friend buying it...we're not screwing around with anything less that 20K pieces...SO LETS SEE SOME SIZE IN THIS BABY. WHERE IS ALL THE STOCK AND HOW MUCH MORE STOCK DOES MARK SMITH OWN?
So Jackal, what does this confidential document mean? Do you think it has something to do with UGSI, in that UGSI does not report financials and does not give information out as to it's pricing? Also, what do you think of Andy's shareholder letter. As you can tell, this FredUGSI is not too happy about the tone. Does Andy really concern himself with AMEX credit limits?
COMPANY IS PURE BOGUS. THIS IS A ZERO STOCK AND RECOMMEND YOU ALL GET OUT TOMORROW MORNING, EARLY...
Very disappointed for the first time with the shareholder letter update. If Andy is more concerned about the company's AMEX credit line than his shareholders, this is not a good sign. Also, does anyone know what the yearly revenue was in 2006. Andy mentions that the company beat the yearly number in Q1 2010. I think revenue in 2006 was $3 million, which tells me that this company is a FAR WAY OFF, from doing anything with its stock. Obviously, this stock will be on the pink sheets and the price will range from $0.20 to $0.30 for at least the next decade...great growth rate, but with an extremely low base, nothing's going to happen for quite sometime. UGSI should be a private company...not public, as Andy has mentioned many, many times.
Sewer dog...thanks for being a gentleman on this board. I've owned UGSI for close to 7 years now. Patience is a virtue when it comes to great long term investments...it's getting close those long term investors, like Wynnefield Capital and the Water Fund to CASH IN! I believe 2010 will be the year of the pipe! Go UGSI! Go Baby!! NEWS COMING SHORTLY BETWEEN NOW AND MAY 8TH. BUY STOCK NOW!!!!!!!!
sewer dog...just an fyi, ugsi is up over 36% ytd...stock should be 0.35 very quickly...have you seen the news on HEK lately...they are using UGSI pipe in oil fields...A LOT OF IT!!
Can't seem to get stock to short this POS. Stock might be worth $1.00 at the most...but that's probably too optimistic. Stock down 14% today and we still don't know why the company is delaying the filing of their 10K...
2 questions for the jackal: 1.) why the delay in 10K filing? 2.) any idea how much more stock mr. smith owns in UGSI? or anyone on this site who might have some answers? thanks much
Andy will spill out his shareholder letter probably in about 10 days. For those that don't understand this stock, one may wish to buy a position between now and the end of the 1st week in April. I would bet stock could reach $0.35 ++. The first quarter had to be a blowout with all the things happening with HEK! Wish I knew what revenue rate is? Could it be close to $60 mil?
Too bad UGSI didn't keep Mark Smith as head of public relations for the firm...stock of UGSI would be at least $0.50. He was and IS a promoter. Congrats on GSPH...big gains from its lows. HEK reports on Thurs, so should get good update on UGSI if anyone asks on the conference call. Cheers!
they haven't changed anything to increase liquidity. there is NONE! there's 7K shares trading today at $0.25.
INSU reported Q4 after the close. Number was big and stock was up sharply in aftermarket trading.
Check out 10Q today for slide presentation on HEK. I did not listen to the presentation but noticed (1) mention on one of the slides of 7% position of UGSI (2) there's a picture of one of UGSI's pipe products in the presentation. Since I did not listen in I do not know if there was any Q&A relating to UGSI and I doubt if there was any number/financial discussions relating to UGSI. Comments?
HEK presented at Credit Suisse today. Check out 10Q for full presentation. Mention that they own 7% of UGSI and also a picture of UGSI pipe. No numbers (of course) + did not hear Q&A...so don't know if there was additional comments/discussion of UGSI.
business wire and heckmann email. need to buy more stock or initiate a position before 2/23. stock's run has a long way to go!
New NEWS!!! 13-G filed; Fidelity now owns 14.1% of HEK. Also, HEK presents at Credit Suisse Conference on Feb 23. Hey Jackal, don't know what #1 means, but sounds positive. I'm always interested in the Water industry, but don't think I have the time to do anything but keep an eye on some of my largest holdings (UGSI, HEK, F, AU); but thanks for the compliment and go UGSI!
hard to believe there isn't more interest in this name and UGSI...two unbelievable management teams, with unbelievable growth opportunities. TIME TO BELIEVE!
Very significant news item relating to HEK and ETP. For those of us who have been with the UGSI story for awhile, this is another significant growth venue for that company. ETP is one of the largest and highest quality MLP's out there. Question from an ETP analyst: what is the timing, capital cost, pipe size, pipe length and relative contribution from Marcellus vs. Haynesville? Can anyone help?

hey jackal! good post! and HEK up 5% today on no news...there is no reason why stock shouldn't break it's 52-week high of $5.46 soon. can't wait for Q4 conference call to see how well UGSI is doing!
does anyone have any update on how UGSI is doing financially...i noticed the company still does not have any trade events on its website, wonder why?
Great news Jackal! A friend of a friend showed me a copy of the letter and it was very bullish. What's really interesting is I'm right now reading my new "Water Effieiency" magazine Nov/Dec 2008 edition. On the front inside cover it shows a great advertisement for UGSI' products. Within the details of the ad, it depicts "2000 fusible PVC drills and counting" and "over 2 million feet installed". In Andy's letter dated 1/4/09, Andy mentions 3000 fusible and 3 million feet installed. BIG DIFFERENCE IN A MATTER OF 3 MONTHS OR SO! Go UGSI! 2010 is the year of the PIPE!
Go UGSI! Could this be the year? If the market collapses, it won't be, but if the economy and the stock market act healthy, I'm sure it will be the YEAR OF THE PIPE!
Remember...UGSI will be coming out with their internal quarterly update any day now! Probably a good time to buy the stock in front of this information coming out. I would bet that government stimulus money will be at least double and maybe a lot more than the previous quarter ($1 million). I hope Andy talks about how HEK relationship is doing. Happy New Year to all our UGSI friends, especially the patient ones who have been here for at least 5 years!
Thanks Jackal for the technical look. Don't you think that in UGSI's case, the technical analysis is not as good an indicator for the following reasons: 1.) approximately of 90% of stock held by mgmt/employees/closely held institutions (HEK) so actual stock flows are really determined by pure chance and other reasons like individual tax loss selling, cash needs, etc. 2.) zero financial information, so take that our of formula completely 3.) zero "hype", so no influence on technicals there, 4.) ownership/management does not release stock holdings but we know most of the holdings are warrants/restricted stock, options and company employees I believe, are restricted regarding selling/trading the stock. Comments? Thanks. Fred
good luck sewer dog! you've been a great positive for this post. i might be following you out soon and have the same opinion of andy. he never promised us a rose garden! good luck to all.
fred
Hey Jackal...Wonder why HEK has been on a tear lately, but UGSI just sitting doing nothing...although HEK mgmt says UGSI DEFINITELY has been a standout performer since they purchased a slug of the stock from Pictet Asset Mgmt. Any thoughts?
it will be time for a lot of us to bail shortly! i could have had my 1 million ++ shares of UGSI stock in the general market since March and done quite well. management can care less because they have most of their stock at $0.08! there's no way the stock price will ever get to that level, so they have at least a double to triple in their holdings ++ a lot of extra restrictive stock and i'm sure a lot of warrants. mgmt is NOT shareholder friendly and therefore, this is probably not a good investment for anyone but insiders! best to all! and go HEK!
Thank you Jackal! yes, this is not a "normal" spot on investors hub. The shareholders of UGSI are all long term believers of the story, the management and the leadership of the company going forward. we're patient long term investors who believe in andy and his track record at us filter. Hekmann believes in UGSI also and that's the reason why they took the opportunity to buy Pictet's position at a ridiculous price of $0.14/share. But for those of us who have been waiting 5+ years for some sort of information on what the plan is for UGSI, one can understand our concern here in 2009. WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR UGSI AS FAR AS MONETIZING IT'S POSITION? When will those loyal shareholders be rewarded for their patience? When will the company come out with more information on its website? Will they be doing a reverse split? Will they be at $100 million in revenue in 2010? Will HEK buy the company? At what price? We, the shareholders, need some information? We're loyal, we're patient, but we need information flow!!!
All Fred wants for Christmas is a UGSI deal in 2010...maybe a 1 for 10 split in June 2010. Then a full blown road show across the US and Europe. Andy and team talking about $200 million ++ in revenue in 2011, 25-35% 3-5 year growth rate, acquisitions in the plan, beefed up hiring, major new international contracts. This is all Fred wants for Christmas!
jackal, jackal on the wall....please let us know what's happening with andy and the company. thanking you in advance!
Attention UGSI shareholders. If you need to sell some stock at the end of the year, now is the time to either cash out, take your losses and/or maybe you've just lost patience in this management team to "do something" about this stock. If so, NOW IS THE TIME TO SELL, because there are some LARGE buyers out there at the right price. Put your sell order in at $0.19 and it will be taken. 20,000 share block minimum orders. Please consider selling now.
good info. thank you. fredugsi
HEK working closely wih UGSI on their East Texas/Louisiana project. Also discussing some Asian opportunities with the co. No quantitative numbers given, but Dick Heckmann very happy with Underground Solutions so far. Conf call still available. See website.
HEK conference earnings call on Mon, Nov 9th 4:30 eastern. Good source of info on UGSI.
Have you all seen the INSU earnings numbers! Fabulous quarter, increased guidance for Q4 and the following quote "The company believes that 2010 will be the strongest year in Insituform's (INSU) history."
Good news for UGSI!
jackal,
thanks for your honesty. i believe all of us on this post appreciate your information very, very much! i own a ton of UGSI and as you may know, i've owned it before andy was with the company. my opinion of mark smith is very negative and i will short geospatial at the appropriate time. so we may have a different opinion on this issue. one and only one thing i give mark smith credit for...he is a real publicist and hypester. when this venture doesn't work out, maybe he can open up a PR firm...and maybe i'll hire him!
thanks for all you do on this post and thanks to everyone who is respected on this post!
Sewer Dog. Be kind to futures jackal in that the information he was passing on at that time was in january 2008! i'm not speaking for the jackal, but obviously the world has changed completely from that time. i'm sure there are several hundred companies that can no longer list their stocks on nasdaq national, amex or nyse because of the market. just look at the ipo market this year! I would bet the jackal's coversations with mr seidel were accurate, but things have changed too dramatically from that time. how' bout a response mr. jackal?
