I also am a long-time owner of SMSI. It hasn't been doing well, so let's hope this kick starts things to the upside.

I talked with Hugh on Wednesday. Said everything still on track and people were buying the stock, though there was also selling. Looks like today is lift-off again. Will see what happens in the a.m. Did you ask him for the Beta? He sent it to me.
Jonsie: Was just going to post that. I have the Beta test on the program BTW.
NIHK another one with good possibilities in here. Woke up from the dead not long ago.
NNVC: Recently went from Pinks to OTC. Been doing very well last few days. Looks like resistance not until around $1.70.
Think that's JSDA...
SRGG: Anyone here play this one? Been looking like it getting for a b/o soon.
SIGA receives orphan drug status from FDA for smallpox vaccine, with 7-year exclusivity.
CXTI: Posted this one here several times over past months. Hit a new high today of 6.00. I bought at 2.50 or so and held in IRA.
Two nice eGov contracts announced; and there will be more.
Sorry, Waitedg, just saw your post. Yes, I have been receiving alerts on NMGC.
AXTG: Well, much as I dislike pinkies, I'm still in this one simply because every time I would go in to sell it, it would continue moving up. So I just decided to watch it and if it started a sell-off on Friday, I would jump out. My basis is under $1.00 on two buys I made. If I had more faith in pinks (from bad experiences in the past) I would have loaded the boat, but once snake-bit...
Anyway, here is what I received today from after Friday's close, which may drive it up once again. We will see...
AXTG announced that the Department of Homeland Security Facility in Omaha, NE recently earned Gold Certification in the LEED New Construction Category (LEED-NC).
Once again, LEED is the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design Green Building Rate System(TM) and is a nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. The LEED Rating System was created to transform the built environment to sustainability by providing the building industry with consistent, credible standards for what constitutes a green building. More can be learned about LEED at www.usgbc.org.
The Department of Homeland Security facility is one of eight Federal buildings to have received LEED Certification. In addition, it is estimated that more than 60 Federal buildings are also vying to obtain this certification.
Remember, the National Park Service Building in Lincoln has already acquired LEED Gold Status as a direct result of installing the AXTG Axis Dimming/Daylight Harvesting ballasts.
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 and Executive Order 13124 requires Federal buildings to reduce their energy use by 35 percent by 2010. As we near 2007, the clock is ticking on many of these facilities as they search for ways to cut their energy costs.
You may visit the AXTG website at AxisTechnologyInc.com to read about other installations of AXTG's Axis DDH System in airports, schools, government buildings, etc. and the various benefits the facilities are receiving.
Monday could be another explosive day for AXTG. Excerpts from Friday's release after the close follow:
Department of Homeland Security Facility Achieves LEED Gold Status After Installing Axis Ballasts
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov 24, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Axis Technology, Inc. (Pink Sheets:AXTG) is pleased to announce The Department of Homeland Security Facility in Omaha, NE recently earned Gold Certification in the LEED New Construction Category (LEED-NC). The facility was equipped with 300 Axis Dimming/Daylight Harvesting (DDH) ballasts with the goal of achieving the energy efficiency requirements necessary to obtain LEED-NC certification. This installation of Axis products combine with other Green applications aided this facility in becoming LEED-NC Gold Certified.
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 and Executive Order 13124 requires Federal buildings to reduce their energy use by 35 percent by 2010 (compared to 1985). The Department of Homeland Security facility is one of eight Federal buildings to have already received LEED Certification. In addition, it is estimated that more than 60 Federal buildings are also vying to obtain this certification.
"We believe this government act that encourages Green buildings and initiatives to be an extremely positive development for our company," said Kip Hirschbach, CEO of Axis Technologies. "The Axis DDH Ballast is an obvious component for those facilities that want to lower energy consumption and become more environmentally friendly," Hirschbach added.

Hello Again!
AXTG is up on huge volume this morning and is up 20% to $1.50 early.
News was just announced that the Lincoln Electric System (an electric utility company) published a case study on energy savings following the installation of the Axis Technologies Dimming/Daylight Harvesting (DDH) ballasts in their headquarters in Lincoln, NE.
The study showed a 69% lighting energy savings was achieved. The release follows:
Axis Receives Endorsement from Lincoln Electric Co. After Case Study Shows 69% Energy Savings
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov 20, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Axis Technologies Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets:AXTG) announced today that the Lincoln Electric System (an electric utility company) published a case study on energy savings following the installation of the Axis Technologies Dimming/Daylight Harvesting (DDH) ballasts in their headquarters in Lincoln, NE. An entire floor of the building was retrofitted with the Axis 4-lamp ballast system and a comparative case study followed.
The study showed a 69% lighting energy savings was achieved after the previous standard T12 ballasts were replaced by the more efficient Axis DDH ballasts. The study also indicated a simple payback period of approximately 18 months due to the combined lighting energy savings, and air conditioning savings due to the lowered heat output after the Axis DDH ballast was installed.
"LES has endorsed the Axis DDH ballast and is recommending them to their customers - this is the first and only product that LES has ever endorsed" said Kip Hirschbach, CEO of Axis Technologies Group, Inc. We are especially excited to have an endorsement like this from an actual electric company and we are confident this will bring us a multitude of new customers." he added.
Keep watching this one.....

Ford is growing in China and has plans to expand even more. I think this is a great LT buy and hold myself. I have a little bit that is just put away and forgetting about for now. Actually, their Fusion is doing quite well. Getting a good bit of attention. It is their answer to the Honda Accord. Has a lot of nice perks in it and not as expensive.
I'll take two... :)
nlightn: Thanks for all the great posts. I appreciate them.
re EFUT: Boy, I missed that one big time. It was on my watch list last week and I was afraid to play it b/c it had already run on Thursday to where I thought profits would be taken. NOT!
Could have made some $$$ on Friday if I had bought. Will be interesting to watch come Monday.
Still not sure which way markets are headed. However, I believe that the Street is not too concerned with what will be happening with the new congress come January. There are some solid centrists in the pack that will temper things. Also, they don't want to pizzz off the public either b/c of presidential election in two years.
Jagman: HPQ is one of my favorites at this time. I think it has a way to go, but should be a long.

Buying FDG here. Canadian trusts got whacked big. No reason yet. This has still to be voted on, plus any in place now won't be affected for four years. This one has good dividend.
I bot some SMSI. It will do well for future revs imo.
I've got one too. Not a good day for Canadian plays, and their dollar valuation is down too.
FDRA: Jonesie was right. Making a nice move today, so chart looking stronger.
I have my eye on HAL as well. Not sure of when to enter yet.
I may re-enter NXG soon. I had sold all my shares a few months back for a nice profit. I had also held that one for a long time. I still like it.
Hi Jonesie: Yes, still hanging in there with FDRA. I have spoken with one of the people in management a couple of times now and I'm a little disappointed in this last private placement price, but all in all I think they are doing what they have to do and their program is getting some nice attention. The fact that they now have four people who have joined them from Microsoft is also encouraging. The program will be available in January for people who want to use it for a few months to try it out, and then it will be fully up and running in March of 2007. As you probably saw in one of my posts, they have 65+ employees now and are occupying an entire floor of a building in Orange County. He told me everyone is working very hard and putting in a lot of hours, so they have every intention of seeing that this program basically has all the bugs out of it and will be working smoothly. The chart does look like it just may turn here. I saw that small pop today and wondered if interest in the stock was finally coming in. Can't beat the pps for now anyway. Downside doesn't seem to be much obviously. So, with fingers crossed, I persevere.
Thanks for the chart. Very nice.
Just getting to read posts. Thanks for this excellent commentary on the markets. Much appreciated.
Good luck! If you decide to buy it, then post it. Otherwise, to each his/her own. I will not make any suppositions or post anything that I do not have facts on. Otherwise I might post some DD or suggestions, but as in any group, everyone is on their own.
I have sold some puts on TRLG a couple of times, and a few covered calls. Otherwise I don't like playing options on it, especially not now. The price has stabilized and it is pretty much in a trading range until earnings come out the week of November 10th. The IV on the options haven't been very good, so it has not even been worth playing since this narrow trading range started.
Waitedg: Wasn't an opinion. It was what I was told by the CFO.
I have no opinion at this point since I have no idea what will transpire in the end.
NG plays... With this early snow storm up north, might not be a bad idea to jump into some of these cheapies...e.g., TGC.
Reatailers: Jim Cramer stated yesterday that retailers should be bought that have a low multiple. I guess with the holidays approaching and retail doing quite well in general. I know I have mentioned this one a lot of times, but TRLG fits that mold.
I had it straight to begin with. That stock is way undervalued. When/if Platinum deal goes through, they will concentrate on getting good valuation for the shareholders which Tandem thinks is around $10/share.
I agree with Doubloon. I don't like speculation, especially when others are at risk. Anyone reading that would conclude it was correct, which is only speculation at best. Best to keep that off the board. People get very spooked when it comes to their hard-earned money.
Shareholders would get the $4.50 as initially promised. Just that it will get you Platinum shares with your total. CFO told me 7.56, as I wrote it down. I even repeated it. He said that was correct. Maybe he was wrong. Anyway, it is only what was put into escrow.

Crocs Makes Strides Signing Disney, University Licensing Deals
Wednesday October 11, 7:00 pm ET
Marilyn Much
Crocs took some major steps this summer toward building the brand power of the young shoemaker.
Crocs' (NASDAQ:CROX - News) namesake shoes are made from a proprietary resin material called Croslite that's lightweight, doesn't slip on wet surfaces, is odor resistant and, according to wearers, is very comfortable.
ADVERTISEMENT
The company began distributing its product in late 2002 and has been on fire ever since. Sales surged to $109 million last year from $1.2 million in 2003. Crocs went public on Feb. 8. In the year's first two quarters, sales have grown at triple digit rates.
"I think they've done an exceptional job exploiting this category of footwear," said analyst Jeff Mintz with Wedbush Morgan Securities, which has had an investment banking relationship with Crocs. "They're really selling the product on function -- (features like) comfort and odor resistance -- rather than on fashion and looks."
Though there have been lots of knockoffs, the Crocs shoe hasn't been perfectly copied because of the unique resin material from which it's made, he says.
In talking with people about Crocs, Mintz has found a high level of loyalty and support for the product.
One such devotee is Dana Tuttle of Wilmington, N.C, a receptionist in a dental office, who's been wearing Crocs for about two years.
"It's like putting on bedroom slippers to go to work," she said.
Now Crocs officials are moving to develop even more of a following.
In August, the company struck a partnership with Disney (NYSE:DIS - News) that gives it access to the entertainment giant's library of characters and the ability to use them in its products. Through this pact, Crocs will launch shoes featuring different representations of Disney characters.
The first products in the new line, called Disney by Crocs, are special editions of its adult beach shoe and its kids' Cayman model, which are adorned with a Mickey Mouse head. They'll debut in select stores in November.
The product has gotten a good reception by retailers, and the initial bookings have been solid, says Crocs Chief Executive Ron Snyder.
"I think it will be a strong contributor to the growth of the company," he added.
He says the company aligned with Disney because Crocs has a big following among children.
More models featuring other Disney characters are slated for launch in the spring.
"We all know the power of Disney and how much kids love (the brand)," said Mintz. "This (pact) opens up a lot of potential incremental sales."
He expects Crocs to sell 500,000 to 600,000 pairs of the Disney shoes in the fourth quarter, or about 10% of his estimated total for the quarter of over 5 million pairs.
The partnership offers Crocs a number of possibilities, he says, including the opportunity to make shoes tied to individual Disney movies.
In another move that presents growth opportunity, in early summer Crocs struck a deal with Collegiate Licensing Co. to license logos from many major universities. Here, Crocs has licenses with about 75 universities to make shoes that come in college colors and bear university logos. The products started shipping in September in time for the football season. They're sold in campus shops, department stores and sporting goods stores.
Mintz sees a lot of potential in this product line.
"There's a huge market for university products," he said. "We see it in sweat shirts, and T-shirts and Crocs (shoes) fit into that."
Potential customers include current students, the new crop of students who come in every year and sports fans of various universities, Mintz says.
In another key move, on Oct. 3 Crocs agreed to buy Jibbitz LLC, which specializes in accessories that are placed into the holes of Crocs shoes. Under terms of the deal, which is slated to close in December, Crocs will pay $10 million for the privately held firm and pay up to $10 million more if Jibbitz hits earnings targets.
In addition, Crocs and Jibbitz entered into an agreement, effective immediately, under which Crocs will endorse Jibbitz worldwide. The accord also gives Jibbitz access to Crocs' distribution and retail network.
"Jibbitz will be an important division for Crocs," said Snyder. "They've had tremendous success in the short time they've been in business. It fits extremely well with Crocs."
Mintz calls Jibbitz more an "add-on" purchase than anything else.
He says Crocs may well make other buys if it can find companies such as Jibbitz that are good add-ons to the primary product.
"I don't see them venturing beyond their core product because they have so much growth opportunity with it," he said.
CEO Snyder says he expects to make more acquisitions. He's not looking at large buys, but rather companies that Crocs can grow by leveraging its infrastructure.
Crocs has made big strides on its own. Its products are sold in over 14,000 locales in 60 countries.
Since its start with one shoe model for the boating and outdoor communities, Crocs has expanded to over 20 models, which can be worn for any number of occasions.
Among the latest additions to the lineup are flip-flops. The company is set to launch nine new models next spring.
In the second quarter, it posted total sales of $85.6 million, up from $25.8 million the prior year. Earnings more than tripled to 39 cents a share.
Snyder says international sales have grown significantly. In the second quarter they were 33% of total sales; the company had expected they'd be no more than 15% of the total. He expects the percentage to continue to grow.
Analysts polled by First Call expect full-year earnings to rise to $1.26 a share from 49 cents the prior year. They see a 26% jump to $1.59 in 2007.
Sorry: Let me clarify a bit. They have put into escrow enough to give holders of common $4.50 per share towards exchange for their stock, which equaled $7.56 per share of Platinum at the time the escrow was deposited.
I spoke withe CFO of Tandem this week. They felt since the SEC was dragging this out so long and no move on anything, it was best to restructure the deal. There is $7.56 per share in escrow per common stock holder shares outside of the company. That would equate to .60 shares of Platinum shares or $4.50 per share. The Tandem execs would get their shares to equate to $2.13 per share. They hope the SEC will approve by end of year. If not, Tandem will stay as is but will be more aggressive in promoting the company and get it off the Pinks for starters. They do feel, however, that the deal has a better chance of getting approved as it has been restructured and sent to the SEC this week for approval. We shall see.
