Working for a Global company, that has a Partner in Nigeria, I very, very frequently receive those types of email requests, all of which get deleted immediately.
Unbelievable that this is now something that might come out of the USA!

I missed the email from KA as well. Would you please repost it, Kelsey?
Thanks,

The first time I read this quote, I thought it was dangerously true. Then I really started pondering it and thought how would this apply to our own lives/careers?
Let's look at it again to see how absurd it is...
You couldn't get a job at McDonalds and become district manager after 143 days of experience.
You couldn't become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience of being a surgeon.
You couldn't get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 days of experience.
You couldn't join the military and become a colonel after a 143 days of experience.
You couldn't get a job as a reporter and become the nightly news anchor after 143 days of experience.
BUT....
From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working. After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. 143 days.
We all have to start somewhere. The senate is a good start, but after 143 days, that's all it is - a start.
AND, strangely, a large sector of the American public is okay with this and campaigning for him. We wouldn't accept this in our own line of work, yet some are okay with this for the President of the United States of America?
Come on folks, we are not voting for the next American Idol!
Give that baby a driver's license!
I'm WAY GLAD that my two children weren't THAT BIG...LOL...the thought is too painful to even think about.
Another Post of the Day and Into the I Box!!
Excellent, Big Mur.

I think Big Mur's three posts should go into the I-Box, or at the absolute minimum the post(s) of the day.
GREAT JOB! Thanks for your insight, patience and explanations.
Nest Egg
YES.

Yes, very quiet. August usually is for some reason...vacations before school, getting kids ready for school, etc. I believe it was the same last year.

Why would anyone pay $30 for a trade? I thought Scottrade was high at $7 per (plus a small percentage for the penny stocks), but $30 a trade? For $30 a trade you could buy 625 shares of HEMI at .048 each. Rather have the HEMI :)
Nest Egg
So far today only 17,800 shares traded? pretty sloooooooow
Nest Egg
ok, thanks. I'll ask Scottrade.
Has anyone heard anything about this one? My late husband bought in June 06. Does anyone know if I can write it off for my 2008 income taxes?

This PR was ALL GOOD. Keep up the good work KAA & Team. I keep adding and ONLY Holding LONG. waiting for that Nest Egg to really become somethin' great!
Yep, a good PR no matter how you read it. They don't have to give us all the details. They're working their rear ends off to make things work.
Nest Egg
Most likely you never will! Nature of the "investors"
By the way, I'm adding to my little Nest Egg.
I agree with that as well. My community is still fighting insurance claims since Wilma destroyed almost 50% of our community in October 2005! Yeah, they love the premiums, but they are slooooooooooow to pay out, and will argue every single $$$.
Nest Egg
Ovidius,
Just because "results will be available" to HEMI management, does not mean that those results will be released in a PR or an email. the statement was just that....results will be available. Don't set yourself up for disappointment or read what was not stated.
Nest Egg
I bought some today to even out my # of shares. I'm happy that I have so much more than I ever thought I would. Been long now since July 06 and never once thought of selling!
Nest Egg
So true, so true. Just a little piece of the pie is all that is needed to hold the other big boys attention.

Lowman,
Are you still up in Daytona area? Have the fires been controlled and put out? I hope you weren't in any danger.
I wish it would rain down here in the Fort Lauderdale area. We're had a few Everglades fires - doesn't smell too nice. Dry as a bone - not good for the hurricane season. The more rain we get between now and end of July, the easier the hurricane season will be, or so they predict. Still suffering in my area from Wilma - Oct 05!
Nest Egg
If I remember correctly, you need a minimum of 5,000 shares to be able to sell in Germany. I only have 2,000 and Scottrade told me they couldn't help.
Nest Egg
Now that's funny. Out of the mouth of 'babes'.

I just paid $3.69 per gallon in South Florida! Over $50 to fill up my little Suzuki. People really have to plan their driving strategy just to get around town and take care of errands/etc. No more "I'll just go to XYZ" and get some milk. Now it's I need to go to XYZ, Home Depot, the shoe store, etc., etc. trying to economize.
both sound like complete stupidity to me.
My taxes are finished and I've received my check for 2007. Can I take a write off for next year (2008) or should I do an amendment to 2007?
Anyone with tax experience, please respond, and thanks in advance.

To All CSMG/CTUM Board -
I am really surprised that there hasn't been more discussion regarding the Veterinary Division for Tissue Welding Technology!
This certainly opens up a complete new exciting revenue stream for the company that will be very lucrative!
Thinking out of the box - why not animals as well humans!!???

CSMG Technologies Forms Veterinary Division for Tissue Welding Technology
3/19/2008 12:20:01 PMCORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, Mar 19, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CSMG Technologies, Inc., (CTGI), a technology management company, announced today the company has added a veterinary subsidiary under its tissue welding technology subsidiary Live Tissue Connect (LTC).
The new subsidiary is focused on the surgical treatment of animals using the company's tissue welding technology. The company's Ukrainian team has been active in applying the tissue welding treatment to horses and dogs.
Two procedures of note include the successful resection and welding of a dog's urinary bladder and successful reconnection of a dog's carotid artery in an artery-to-artery reconnection procedure.
Donald S. Robbins, President and CEO of CSMG, said, "We believe the veterinary applications will have similar benefits and advantages in animals as in humans, such as faster healing time, less blood loss and less surgery time. The veterinary subsidiary will be separated from the Live Tissue Connect (LTC) human surgery subsidiaries as an autonomous tissue welding subsidiary that both LTC and CSMG shareholders can benefit."
CSMG owns the technology and exclusive world rights to the live tissue bonding/welding device through Live Tissue Connect, Inc., a subsidiary corporation formed for the development and commercialization of the platform technology.
About CSMG Technologies' Tissue Welding/Bonding Technology:
The LTC tissue bonding/welding device is a platform technology that bonds and reconnects living soft biological tissue through fusion without the use of foreign matter in contrast with conventional wound closing devices such as sutures, staples, sealant, or glues.
Surgeons at 27 Ukraine hospitals and clinics are using the tissue welding/bonding technology in clinical trials. They have completed more than 10,000 human surgeries using more than 80 types of open and laparoscopic surgical procedures, demonstrating the technology is universal in its ability to repair soft biological tissue.
These surgeries included lung, neuro-surgery, nasal septum, intestine, stomach, skin, gall bladder, liver, spleen, blood vessels, nerves, alba linea, uterus, bladder, gynecological, fallopian tube, ovary and testicles and dura-matter. Cosmetic surgeries conducted with this technology include breast reduction, breast implants, mastopexy and abdominoplasty.
The procedure involves little or no scarring, while restoring the normal function of the body organ or tissue. The technology was invented and developed at the internationally renowned E.O. Paton Institute of Electric Welding, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kiev, Ukraine, headed by Professor B.E. Paton.
U.S., Australian, Canadian, Ukraine and European Union patents have been issued, and additional U.S. and foreign patents are pending, all owned by LTC.
About CSMG Technologies, Inc.: CSMG Technologies (CTGI) is a technology management company that finances, owns, develops, licenses and markets innovative advanced technologies and business opportunities created in the Ukraine through a network of scientific institutes and private organizations. CSMG is focused on two primary subsidiaries, Live Tissue Connect, Inc. and landfill gas processing.

And you, Jagman, of course, have all the answers ALL of the time? I just feel that patience pays off in the long run. Time heals, or whatever other expression might be used.
It's because some people need a life. Unfortunately to bad mouth and bash are their life.
This is definitely a stock that needs a LOT of patience for it to pan out. LONG TERM - not just a year or two, but probably four or five to make any good money here, IMHO.

Ain't that the truth. I have not voluntarily left a job since 1983 - always laid off due to "downsizing, relocating", etc. The reasons why people and companies part ways are too numerous to mention and the past is the past.

My Scottrade account is showing a "zero" for the share price as of 12:58PM 3/14/08. What is it actually - the one on the IHUB quote-charts-news-financials? which is $2.11.
Is this correct?

Anything that I might receive from the "stimulus package" will be spent on Hemi. It's better than putting my money in a bank - and will bring a much brighter financial future for me in the next few years. I look at it as found money thats unexpected and being put to add to my "nest egg".
Carole
AMEN!!

I was wondering the same thing. This board has been dead silent for almost 3-4 days. Same with SOMA.
Gee, between the two, my Scottrade account says they're worth about US$90. Much better than the usual $30. Maybe this stock isn't completely buried yet.

Andy Rooney is one hell of a smart man. I'm 56 and I'm definitely still in the running....
My daughter, 22, can't stand the 40 year old letcherous men in shorts, etc. She realizes not many of them think with their heads.
my 2,000 shares of this POS is worth twenty cents according to my Scottrade account; whereas my 103500 shares of EQBM is worth $10.53.

Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things. Each year the staff at Beloit College in Wisconsin puts together a list to try to give the faculty a sense of the mindset of this year's incoming freshmen. Here's this year's list:
>
The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1989. They are too young to remember the 1st space shuttle blowing up.
>
Their lifetime has always included AIDS.
>
Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.
>
The CD was introduced the year they were born.
>
They have always had an answering machine
>
They have always had cable.
>
They cannot fathom not having a remote control.
>
Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.
>
Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.
>
They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.
>
They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.
>
They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.
>
They never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a Camel", or "de plane, Boss, de plane."
>
They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is.
>
McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.
>
They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.
>
Do you feel old yet? Pass this on to the other old fogies on your list.
