TP, I'm sorry I can't draw you a more clear picture about where we are, why we're here, and where we're going. If I've not helped you in this endeavor, then just wait for the next company PR.
TP, I've no idea about specifically what you're talking about. Be more specific and I'll try to step up to your level of expectations.
Who said it was just ONE event? There's a good saying: "having all your eggs in one basket." In our case WE have all the eggs; we CREATED the eggs; we NURTURE all the eggs; and WE decide who GETS the eggs. THEN, we have a very secure, padded, robust, basket (6 patents). Pretty nice position to be in, don't you think?
Relax 17 yr., whatever money we DO use from the LOC, that is at least 60 days away. By then, there will be several quite news worhty items to be announced for sure. With only four full time employees, it makes no sense to have an AGM prematurely. Our CEO won't leave us hanging. Probably see an AGM within the next few months. "We will sell NO wine before its time."
right on all counts TP. The Russians could attack us tomorrow, cotton candy could be proven to stop hair loss; and MZEI could be the penicilin of the 21st century:-0.
As I posted last night in post #15862, the major shareholder/benefactors that heavily invested in the AsepticSure initiative 2 1/2 years ago that has allowed us to accomplish all that we have over these last sveral months, are longs as well. Not only that, they don't post here - trying to manipulate the stock price for this reason or that reason, and frankly, they could care less about the current price per share (as they've shared with me numerous times) and also, frankly, they have thought pretty much all along that things would have normally materialized EXACTLY AS they have in reality - this comes from years of similar business experience dealing with patents, regulators, etc., etc. They are not surprised about our timeline so far, and in fact, they're a little impressed that we've already come THIS far. They've held every single share they originally bought, and have even added some along the way (rather recently) KNOWING that the BIG payday is not only just around the corner, BUT is UNSTOPPABLE at this point.
The business plan has been thoroughly laid out and MZEI has not waivered from it. Yes, Ed could post messages/PR's once per week, like most penny stock companies do in order to manipulate the share price, but, as he's mentioned before, he's been very careful to not get into the "fluff" business. As things HAVE materialized, they have been promptly reported - where it is prudent and not violating any non-disclosure agreements.
Well, "no commercial activity until next year" - next year is only a few weeks away. Secondly, nobody could (even if they wanted to) tell you early, mid, late, next week, in two weeks, etc - as that would be inappropriate. If I thought for one second that there was even ONE thing going on that was negative, I'd surely not be trying to make myself look like a liar here. I only know "a lot" because I spend MANY HOURS each week PROactively trying to help the company - not with words only; not with money only. SOME share holders here have contacts, provide names, help arrange meetings with and for MZEI personnel to keep adding stepping stones to complete this thing. Whereas LARGE big board companies have many people on a fat payroll to do this same thing, we don't have that luxury, so it is a matter of principle, belief, passion that motivates us to help - without compensation - so very soon everyone benefits...even those who've thrown stones at us. As I've already pointed out, there were sound reasons and even some benefits from "push backs" as you call it, and I ASSURE you that NO SHORTCUTS will ever be taken to make sure that everything is readied TO PERFECTION. As EM has repeated many times - there are some things that simply can NOT be discussed. But BELIEVE me things are happening that make everything worthwhile.
This is a major reason why John Doe has a difficult time making money in the stock market - because by the time they THINK there's a reason to buy - it's OLD news.
I would ONLY agree that he gave us time lines based on time lines that OTHERS had promised us - which sometimes were inaccurate. Furthermore, some timelines by "others" that WERE met, but final product not what was expected, also caused us to go to plan B. Fortunately, plan B is a great fit for us. Firms familiar with and highly skilled in ozone do NOT grow on trees. This isn't like choosing an oil filter manufactuer. HOWEVER almost EVERY timeline that was missed has been complimented by ADDITIONAL enhancements/applications to what we originally set out to do. Just be thankful that we are only a few months behind OUR time lines and not like 75% of companies who miss time lines by 3-5 YEARS or more.
Obviously you've never spent any time with; you don't know, nor have you ever met EITHER man. Dr. Shannon is perfectly suited to the role in which he is working presently - as are all other MZEI people.
I'm SHOCKED! ANYone knows that drinking DIET soda with ice cream COMPLETELY cancels out the calories. Where's your science, man?
Passion is the first ingredient in any successful endeavor.
Try my new diet: Rocky Road ice cream and diet Ginger ale.
17 yr, it's not aboue THE major development, because as EM has said in recent emails, there are multiple developments - some which can/will be made public and some which can NOT. None of these are "tied" to the Mammoth funding deal - which will likely only open up AFTER these things materialize anyway. The funding deal is as good as it gets EVER and the main thing it gives us is the POWER to make our own choices.
With all due respect, there are some of us - a handful of long time shareholders here who have little sympathy or patience (especially me on the patience) for shareholders here - many whom have only held for a year or so - who are whining because MZEI hasn’t made you a millionaire yet with your $5,000.00 investment. A handfull of us bought in more than 10 years ago at prices twice as high as 90% of the current shareholder base - and have held ALL these years because of the knowledge of what MZEI has been able to prove as well as the promise of what it’s market potential is. For MANY years the company relied on a promised funding source which never materialized BUT THEY NEVER closed the door on other funding sources - which did not materialize until 2008. All those years as much was done that COULD be done to further the science until we finally were forced practically dormant until a few investors came together in 2008 and poured MEGA dollars into MZEI to save it; give it new life; new direction; new promise and hope. Without THEM, NONE of you would have a prayer of ANYTHING happening here. Talk about RISK, how about laying down a million plus for an unheard of solution to a rarely talked about problem utilizing a little known about and widely misconceived gas?! I ALSO am well aware of the fact that more than one of these “investors” has not sold ONE SINGLE SHARE of MZEI TO THIS DAY. While this very small group of shareholders/investors/ benefactors of MZEI are completely unknown to 99% of you, and not trying to falsely build them up, but they are long time very successful business people in their own right, and likely the most FREAKISHLY conservative individuals I’ve ever known, who are DEEPLY involved in the food mfg./processing/sales/marketing arena. In spite most of you thinking that EM is “in this by himself,” sitting in his California beach house shooting from the hip and making wild decisions completely without help, advice, or council from people who have TRULY “been there and done that,” you are SERIOUSLY mistaken. These guys for many years have had their OWN worldwide company, their own patents, etc., etc., etc. There’s been almost NOTHING that MZEI has done intellectually, professionally, or strategically that has not had the benefit of this knowledge base. There have also been a few others of us as well who have been able to help fund the company along the way since 2008, and I for one and more confident NOW than ever that the light is growing quite large at the end of the tunnel. Early 2011 will be the crowning achievement of two decades of hope.
As of now, we are firmly in control of everything except share price and perception. We are about 2 mil dollars away from pay dirt - on every level.
If it laid golden eggs, I'd have already bought it.
Either, I understand the duck is a switch hitter.
If people have a problem with buying into a company with THIS MUCH HAPPENING on THIS KIND OF VERGE OF REAL breakout, PLEASE sell out and invest your hard earned money @ $50.00 per share in some big board stock where your investment will SLOWLY trickle (IN BOTH directions, I might add). HERE you have the OPPORTUNITY to make A FORTUNE with NOTHING invested relative to the end game. OR if you believe in fairy tales, I HEARD the other day that someone has a Canadian goose for sale that supposedly craps silver dollars - he's asking $500,000.00 - but he won't guarantee continued results.
Things are great Eli. No worries.
most penny stock companies are shell companies with NO product, NO REAL ideas, NO management, NO reasonable vision, and NO FUTURE. Most throw stock at family and friends and let shareholders pay the bill. Shareholders in THOSE companies ONLY STAND TO MAKE money by flipping the stock between .01 and .03....for years and years never knowing anything about the bones of the company OR the principles. MZEI REALLY has something, has proved something, and with the new LOC, we can reach ALL expecations...perhaps even earlier.
well, I encourage anyone to sell who doesn't like/believe in what we're doing - ESPECIALLY considering how much we've accomplished in the last 8 months that we had NO IDEA we could do just 12 months ago. If people are THAT short sided - LET THEM SELL and let others buy in eventually who have more reasonable expectations AND a LITTLE more patience.
Exactly correct. A SMALL PORTION of his shares were sold. Everybody has bills to pay and some people are working for 1/2 or less of what they COULD be making elsewhere - with easier hours - just to get this thing done. Maybe you should READ BETWEEN the lines and think that something major is happening in the next several weeks.
I assure you that no MZEI insiders are going to sell significant (if any) shares until things come to fruition. Simply FILING to sell insider stock DOES NOT mean anything...it's just another step cleared IN ORDER TO sell.
send me a pm if you ever want to talk sometime.
We have had meetings with this industry; proved to them what we were capable of doing and they are interested for sure. But nobody's offered us a contract yet to build this special kind of AsepticSure machine - as it differs significantly from the hospital model. Plans are to use some of th LOC funds to build it anyway - even without a contract - as it might cost 750k to build a "retail perfect" model. Of course, if we secured a corp. contract prior to that, we could build it sooner. There are MANY things on the burner right now, being simmered and seared to perfection.
I know there will be more communication before Christmas. People, bear in mind that SOME things simply can NOT be discussed at this juncture. There are heavy things going on and all will be revealed as soon as it is prudent.
That COULD happen. Interestingly, Ed has said many times that any government stuff would stay "in house." So it WOULD be neat if we had TWO BIG SEPARATE initiatives going on at the same time. What would THAT do to share price?! I think we could have a very interesting next few months.
Likely, what is most likely and would most effectively raise our PPS will be when we choose a partner, who would likely be a major company traded on the big boards. Once THAT release is made news to THEIR shareholders (not just MZEI shareholders) THEIR shareholders (who would dwarf our small band of shareholders) would likely begin buying (for obvious reasons) which would, IMO, DRAMATIALLY increase our share price in a very narrow window of time - perhaps even in one trading week we could jump 5-10 times in share price. A company of that magnitude generally has very savy, deep pocket investors who would waste NO time loading up - IMO. Furthermore, likely any company who has the vision AND the resources AND market base to "partner with;" or "do something with" MZEI - especially in THIS economy - would be a very stable, very well thought of company worldwide which would ALSO give MZEI instant credibility. Of course, a govenment partnership/contract also has that potential, but not on quite as big a scale - IMO. We are SO close to achieving this - IMO.
Hey nimrod. Long time no see. Your wife give you some computer time.
Nice work, Spumoni.
Fortunately, no.
I'm not aware of ANY draw downs on the LOC, as as far as I know, that paperwork won't be completed for some time. I don't think any draw downs are even possible for at least another 60 days.
This does NOT mean that a sale (ANY SALE) will occur ANYTIME SOON. When you have "insider restricted shares," they ALWAYS remain restricted - unlike PPL's that basically automatically become common shares when the legend is removed after 6 months. INSIDER restricted shares must ALWAYS be "traceable." Therefore, when an insider "deposits" certain shares in his/her account, that does NOT mean he/she intends to sell all (or any) of those shares. It just removes ONE MORE STEP in the process that an INSIDER must go through in order TO sell those shares.
Furthermore, for those not familiar with Canadian laws, Canadian citizens "have the right" TO CLAIM FREE TAX ON certain capital gains before the end of each year (I'm not sure of the exact dollar amount, but it's rather significant). If they do NOT claim those rights each year, they lose the right to "no taxation" on capital gains for the dollar amount value that is Canadian law (whatever it is, as I said already, I don't remember the exact amount). In a country with around a 50% tax rate (but of course they do have free helath care), this is a signifant perk.
I SERIOUSLY doubt that any MZEI insider, vendor, or anyone else working with MZEI who may have a CA with the company and know what lies ahead would be stupid enough to sell much, of any shares now. I do beleive there are significant things going on behind the scenes that are too sensitive to reveal at this time. Even reading the last 4 or 5 press releases makes it pretty easy to "connect the dots."
EM said in an early statement that the next shareholder's meeting would occur when they had a little extra time to put it together. Right now, every waking minute is being spent on moving the company forward. We don't have hundreds of people "on staff" capable of putting an AGM together then simply email the CEO when to show up.
Do you REALLY think that ANYONE would offer a 10 mil LOC to a company with such simple, straightforward, very reasonable terms UNLESS he/they knew not only the past and present...but the future of the company as well? I'm sure they have a CA with MZEI and I'm sure that based on that information they've decided to offer us this deal. People in THAT business are NOT stupid. After all, they're giving money to a company without ANY physical collateral. From a banking background, I can ASSURE you that that is almost NEVER done.
True, but the news agencies are aware of us AND what we've done. They just want to see a LITTLE more. My word to them is: stay tuned; you snooze, you lose.
Press releases over the last 90 days have pretty much detailed what lies ahead for us in the very near future. Don't you think there will be a significant follow up to the great successes we've had even in the last 60 days? I don't think it would even be possible to NOT "the next chapter" very, very soon. And HOW could it not be just as postive and perhaps even MORE earth shattering? The next beta test has no possibility to do anything but back up the FIRST beta test. We've already figured out the "rocket science" here. IMO the next beta test announcement - whether bio terrorism related, hospital related or industry related will be the catalyst for SIGNIFICANT media news. Just be happy that you bought in at less than .40. A year from now everyone will have fond memories and stories of their own personal buy ins.
17yr, NOBODY is happy with the shareprice, but everyone I KNOW is confident in what has been proven, done, and is scheduled to be done, and why and how. You can't manipulate the price of stocks very well these days like Enron and others did years ago. The news agencies know about us, but they just want to see a little more before they do their magic. They are likely the key to our share price climb. It COULD happen ANY MINUTE.
17 yr, with all do respect, don't be a diva. I know you have friends in high places and I know you're a LARGE shareholder. Likely, you know as much as anyone here about the goings on of company business. You KNOW that NOBODY is "hiding in the shadows." That's simply ridiculous. We've had unprecedented press releases in the last 60 days. The fact that the market has not picked up on them is NO fault of management, but the economy in general along with the time of year that we're currently in. Frankly YOU have much more to lose that 95% of other MZEI investors, so why do you constantly hurt people and stir sh__ up? You KNOW that EVERYTHING that can be done is BEING done, and that first things must come first. Even though we haven't gotten to the promised land yet in 2010 doesn't mean that we've taken any detours ethier. We've accomplished FOUR TIMES more already in our applications and developments than we EVER thought possible. The fact that we're bringing "a family of products" to market rather than just ONE is the reason we're a little behind the original time line. This costs (obviously) FOUR TIMES more money - but in the long run also likely increases company VALUE FOUR TIMES AS WELL. FURTHERMORE, we're NOT off the mark THAT much on our time lines. 6 months is NOTHING in ANY public company (or ANY company for that matter), and NOW all the pot holes and crooked roads are behind us. Come January things will ramp up SIGNIFICANTLY and the end of the first quarter will be very interesting indeed.
There'll be one in the first quarter for sure. Between now and then there will be MUCH new news to report and everything we've hoped to accomplish since January 2010 will be in the rear view mirror. AGM's are very time consuming as well as expensive and Ed just didn't want to lose a month or more of normal business stuff to do one before the end of the year. Currently, we are dotting I's and crossing T's and covering all bases. The sky is the limit.
