People just easing in quietly
Well I got out too early and back in late.but I was at least able to shake out a $500 profit
Ha! great minds think alike!
Well the blog sure is quiet. I hope they are saving up for something big.
Is this a "head fake"?
sure would have liked to have sold at the top though
of course it sure would have sucked to have bought at the top
Oh this just bites!
I decided not to keep a "core". I feel naked being completely out and watching it continue to go up.
I hopped out @ 1.93. I'm not giddy, I'm squrimming
Was that "POP" or "POOP"?
Yes who would have thought becoming stinking rich would take this long?
squeeal!
Well today I'll see if cancelling that $1.80 sell was smart or dumb. pigs get slaughtered
I think it is because the SEC is going after people criminally for making false claims.
I canceled a partial sell @ 1.80. I can't decide where to put it back in at.
Does anyone follow them on Twitter?
Carbon Sciences Begins Performance Testing of Breakthrough Catalyst in Commercial FacilityBY Market Wire
— 8:00 AM ET 03/08/2011
SANTA BARBARA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/08/11 -- Carbon Sciences Inc. (CABN
) , the developer of a breakthrough technology to transform greenhouse gases into gasoline and other portable fuels, today announced the commencement of the testing of its dry reforming of methane technology in a commercial facility.
Byron Elton, Carbon Sciences' (CABN
) CEO, commented, "We recently announced an aggressive 2011 development plan. The first step is the performance testing of our breakthrough catalyst in a commercial facility with multiple reactors using protocols required by the oil and gas industry. We have recently engaged a commercial testing firm to perform this task. The equipment build out is underway and actual testing will commence shortly. The results from this exercise will provide us with valuable data for starting the design of a commercial grade catalyst."
Carbon Sciences' (CABN
) technology is based on a high performance catalyst for the efficient transformation of CO2 and methane gas into a synthesis gas, which can then be processed into gasoline and other products currently derived from petroleum. The fundamental reaction being catalyzed is known as CO2 reforming of methane. Previous attempts by industry and research groups fell short of achieving a sufficiently robust catalyst. With over 2,000 hours of testing showing greater than 90% conversion efficiency and little catalyst deactivation, Carbon Sciences (CABN
) owns the most robust catalyst in the world for this process.
Elton added, "Since announcing our catalyst breakthrough and commercialization plan, we have received numerous inquiries from parties interested in the commercial use of our catalyst. Our goal is to select one or more commercial development partners by the end of the year. The name of the game is energy independence. We believe that the application of our technology will allow the U.S. and other countries to finally achieve a realistic energy policy that does not depend on petroleum. Abundant domestic resources such as natural gas can be used to produce all the liquid transportation fuels required, in a cost-effective and environmentally sound manner."
"A commercially viable CO2 reforming catalyst and technology is a game changer for the oil and gas industry -- enabling local production of transportation fuels near greenhouse and natural gas sites, as well as enabling global energy independence," Elton concluded.

If I had set my orders @ 1.35 instead of 1.40 I would be feeling like a genius right now.
Yes a pop right now sure would be sweet!
They are in an IRA
Got my other half @ 1.39. Now that I don't have my old cost basis hanging over my head I can be a little more nimble.
I sold out @ 1.54 for a loss of 38%, first time since 2004 that I'm out. just bought half back @ 1.40
I'm a good, silent, long. I just wish something would happen soon.
I would just sell and take the loss but if I do they'll have some sort of shameless pump and I'll miss the run.
I'm assuming 2 flashlights. Rev. was $1,343 and the flashlights were going for around $700.
10-Q out
summary Ron took a salary of $80,000 for the last 6 mos. Sold 2 flashlights and "does not expect to derive any material revenue from its nanotechnology product development during the next 18 months."
I love these guys.
Crazy volume.
Humph. I would be nice if he really ment it.
Just under 20 mil. sold. Wonder what we bought the CEO now?
Cessna?
"This agreement is an important and continued validation of our technology," said Ron Durando while marlin fishing off the Florida Keys.
Just kind of holding it's breath.....
This is where I thought they were a year and a half ago.
I guess I didn't have to jump in quite so quickly.
Had just enough cash to get 600 more shares at 11.77 Not seeming like such a bad dip now.
CCME just on CNBC!
I agree with Santa, It's time to get off our butts and start feeding the world.
I could pretend to be a basher and liven things up a bit!
I have to stay in. I bought at the wrong time and refuse to sell at the loss.
I guess news is going to come from them and not us.
