I have my ChFC and work for a top 50 fortune 100 company as an advisor, I am invested here and feel great about the future here.
L2 just really cleared out, all the players holding this down seem to have stepped aside...
Haha only a 12% spread between the bid and ask... Good luck to the shorts looking to fill hopefully your not feeling to squeezed to get shares!
L2 action is heating up... This thing is moving all aboard!!!
Yes, based off of the unaudited financials and if the markets were effecient, this should currently be at .20 already with .40+ in year from now if they follow through on their pipeline.
Haha well I picked up my million shares and I'm ready to rock! I guess with the reduction in OS I'm like 000.25% owner! That's pretty neat. GLTA!
Since the shares are converted to just "preferred shares" and not "CONVERTIBLE preferred" they can not be converted back to common stock. Hence why they are cancelled from the OS. Technically this is now a hybrid security but should be thought of as a debt security like a bond. Preferred shares typically get a fixed dividend have high priority claims on the business assets than stock and typically hold no voting rights...
I smell something cooking!
Was reading an article about distribution in Business Insider, and found a quote that I thought to be quite relevant.
“People understand team, structure, and culture are important…but for whatever reason, people do not get distribution. They tend to overlook it. It is the single topic whose importance people understand least…Even if you have an incredibly fantastic product, you still have to get it out to people. The engineering bias blinds people to this simple fact. The conventional way of thinking is that great products sell themselves; if you have a great product, it will inevitably reach consumers. But nothing is further from the truth.”
Also, rather than reading google patents, take it straight from the horses mouth, I give you professor Tao.
http://www.researchgate.net/publication/259087351_Reducing_viscosity_of_paraffin_base_crude_oil_with_electric_field_for_oil_production_and_transportation
http://www.researchgate.net/publication/264233078_Neutron_Scattering_Studies_of_Crude_Oil_Viscosity_Reduction_with_Electric_Field
And in that last publication Tao concludes:
"A comparison of the intrinsic viscosities at various electric fields in Table 1 indicates that as the applied electric field increases, the aggregated chains initially have their length increased fast, lower- ing the intrinsic viscosity fast. However, after the electric field reaches 1100 V/mm, a further increase of the electric field mainly makes the chains thicker, leading to a higher intrinsic viscosity. Therefore, it is clear that there is an optimal electric field for the viscosity reduction and it is not true that the higher the electric field, the more the viscosity reduction. As shown in Fig. 4, the electric field also works well with asphalt base crude oil. Similar to paraffin base crude oil, a strong electric field aggregates the suspended asphalt particles inside our heavy asphalt crude oil sample, APT 21, into short chains along the field direction. Furthermore, as the electric field can reduce the viscosity for both paraffin base crude oil and asphalt base crude oil, it is cer- tain that the electric field can also reduce the viscosity of mixed base crude oil. Therefore, electric field is universal, effective in reducing the viscosity of all kinds of crude oils. In summary, the neutron scattering experiment has resolved the controversy and unambiguously confirmed that a strong elec- tric field aggregates the suspended nano-particles inside crude oil into short chains along the field direction, reducing the effective viscosity along the field direction significantly. The electric field works for all kinds of crude oils. The underlying physics demon- strated by this neutron scattering experiment is applicable to all kinds of suspensions and expects many applications."
There is an effective range of electric charge that the oil reacts best to, as well as certain oils respond better then others to the treatment. This is the "ongoing refinement" the AOT is undertaking, and why we have been hearing that they needed to replace the power supply. The AOT needs a very exact voltage to optimize the effects, so your run of the mill power supply doesn't cut it...
Let's not forget Tao's work was published yesterday...

Maybe this will get conversation back on track.
Buys vs Sells is broken down by where the action takes place. If I offer .50 and you come down and SELL to me on the BID it is a sell, whereas if you were offering shares at .75 and I bought it from you on the ASK it is a BUY. More buys than sells indicates bullish sentiment. Three falling hammers on increasing volume is a very bullish sign that the selling is losing strength as we find support.
STWA has an annual shareholders meeting every year.
Wow looks excellent with lots of nice little tidbits like:
"Cash on hand (~$4 million at March 31, 2014) estimated as
sufficient to fund operations through March 2015; no debt"
"increase the total flow volume per day of an existing
asset by 10% to 15%"
"STWA’s AOT technology decreases viscosity
by up to 56%"

PRCI co-funded the project to have it tested at RMOTC to see whether the AOT would be beneficial to the pipeline industry... They didn't test it at PRCI facility. Furthermore, if the results were as unspectacular as you say why would Transcanda, Kinder Morgan, and China go forward with testing it themselves when they are all members of PRCI and would have even better access than you to this information you claim to of garnered from PRCI?
Check out the membership list of PRCI:
http://prci.org/index.php/prime/membership/
A lot of familiar names on there... I wonder why PRCI wouldn't of told them that it was a "gong show" when they are all members and the testing was done for their benefit... weird.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/STWA-Contracting-With-iw-1730907573.html
From the above PR:
This will help the Company and PRCI ---->MEMBERS<---- determine its value to the oil pipeline industry."PRCI and STWA are entering into a contract to co-fund the field testing at the U.S. Department of Energy's Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center," stated Mr. Michael P. Whelan, PRCI's Director of Facilities Programs at PRCI. "Our members have identified the AOT™ as having potentially significant impact, and STWA has been successful in bringing together a set of project participants that we feel will allow a rigorous evaluation of this technology."
So I ask you, if Transcanda, Kinder Morgan, and Petro China are all memebers of PRCI, why wouldn't PRCI just tell them that it is ineffective or whatever you claim to of been told...?
On top of that if the test was as bad as you say, why did the RMOTC, also known as the Department Of Energy, report such good results? Why did China report such good results? Maybe we aren't hearing more about the test results because we already know they are good, it has already been "shouted from the rooftops".
I'm aware of your contributions to this page and company, and honestly have a lot of respect for you and what you say, and perhaps I am just trying to fuel the fire, by playing the devils advocate to continue good discussion.
I understand the frustration, but I'm trying to keep the positives in perspective so there is objectivity. If new eyes are looking on all they will see is a lot of complaining about the CEO and none of the good things that this company has going for it. This company is much more than just its management!
For whatever reason we have been on the Ihub breakout boards for at least 3 days straight now (number five today!) and climbing steadily higher...
There is a lot of good to this company and perhaps some bad. Just hate to see the bad touted without the good, especially if there is new money looking into it for whatever reasons, they might get deterred by the sour faces...
Speaking of the IHUB page layout, wouldn't it be nice to have the reported test results somewhere as they are rather important? I mean there is a blurb but it is very small and doesn't give any actual figures, nor links... Just a thought.
Cheers.

Are you just getting cold feet my friend? RMOTC already tested the magic white pipe, in real world conditions on a 4 mile working pipeline. So we already know that it will work, it never would of gotten this far if it didn't.
Weren't you the one who originally thought that some kind of buyout or merger was possible?
Isn't this kind of non communication by a company indicative of something like that?
I think that Bigger wasn't brought on to actually run the company for an extended time, which is why it doesn't seem like he is that focused on the long term health of the PPS. He is here to make the big deal which is what he has done in the past, his golden parachute will be his reward for facilitating the whole thing. I imagine there is more than one i to dot and t cross, which is why you put in place a man experienced with financial dealings as opposed to someone with the vision for building the company up.
Obviously he has enough business tact to get one hell of a deal for himself, hopefully he can do the same on behalf of STWA!
And according to:
http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/people/person.asp?personId=25007909&ticker=ZERO
He only exercised 1 mil of his 4 mil possible with the other 3 mil now unexercisable.
That site also has a good write up of his past history, doesn't seem like he is the worst candidate to run this company considering what we are trying to accomplish... Getting a deal!
I think he may not be the greatest leader STWA could have, but I think he has had a lot of dealing in the financial arena and has experience and even a knack for making deals; as shown by his employment agreement, perhaps that is his best credentials as a deal maker...? A guy that can get a nice deal like that for himself is someone who I wouldn't mind going to bat on my behalf.
I was looking at: http://www.rmotc.doe.gov/press.html
STWA has an article right on the top that keeps me warm and fuzzy:

See what I think is, Yes, Greg is being paid a large sum of money but he needs the golden parachute because everyone knows he isn't going to be kept around in the upcoming reverse merger, he has very little job security...
Another one farther down the archive section is:http://www.rmotc.doe.gov/PDFs/News_BlastEnergyPressRelease.112706.pdf
Blast Energy Services had the last successful test out of Rocky Mountain Oil Testing Center in 2006.
Look up what where Blast Energy Services is today!
merged with, PACIFIC ENERGY. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20120803005365/en/Pacific-Energy-Development-Announces-Closing-Merger-Blast#.U7SVhI1dWrY
Dig up deeper and you find:
"Effective on July 27, 2012, as a required term of the Merger, Roger P. (Pat) Herbert resigned as as a Director of, as Chairman of the Board of Directors of, and as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company; Donald E. Boyd resigned as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company; and John A. MacDonald resigned as the Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company."
In the long run what Bigger receives might seem of little importance and his days are numbered.

The calm before the storm...
Any day now ZERO goes.
Great News! But I have the same thing on my L2 hopefully we start drawing some eyes and can break through that, would love to see a run today.
It's because they sold to you on the bid, if you bought the ask it would show as a buy...
Zero... Yawwwwwn... May strong hands prevail!
Soxy! I also love spending my Saturdays commenting on message boards of the stocks I don't like; about how I think they are scams. I honestly cant think of a better way to spend a weekend. We should hang out... So many scams so little time, But just f.y.I. your wasting your time with zero as it is LEGIT.
I just want you to use your time wisely so many people need your valuable service, I would hate for you to waste anymore time here on this lost "lost cause"<---- double negative F.T.W.
Zero Long and strong!
Response from IR, sounds like they are waiting for news too!
We have not been informed of any updates on the installation, lease revenue or test results but will provide information allowable under our contract as soon as possible.

I emailed IR and will share if it is anything interesting. I don't think it is getting pushed back, in the agreement they very specifically state that any changes to dates etc. must be in writing. Furthermore we know AOT has been delivered, and according to the contract TRP has 10 days from the first to pay without defaulting or written notice. So if we have not already received payment we ought to in the next 6 days.
10.1 TransCanada shall be in default hereunder if TransCanada fails to pay the Monthly Lease Payment as required hereunder within ten
(10) business days of the due date thereof.
10.3 If either Party defaults in performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, the other Party shall provide a written notice of the
default to the defaulting Party and if the defaulting Party does not remedy the default within ten (10) business days after the receipt of
such notice, the other Party may rely on any legal or equitable remedy available in law or equity.
17.5 Time is of the essence in all respects of this Lease.

Perhaps you have a conscious as to your and all of our own greed.
Maybe ask how much that drip of water from the giant bug costs...
We all want to grow our bottom lines but at what cost when do we call it enough?
At least STWA and the AOT iss a solution to cut down on energy costs and CO2 emissions...
But if you want a dose of the tar sand reality watch below it makes you really question if this industry is what you want your money to support...

Here is my best conservative guess. In the original AOT test :
http://www.rmotc.doe.gov/PDFs/TS19_51141_Final%20Report.pdf
The AOT was only turned on for an hour and a half.
But it instantly cut the pumps use of hz in half, kw usage by 47%, and dropped the amps by 1/11.
I get why everyone is calling it a magic white pipe. How else can you describe it?
Perhaps one day Keystone XL will brainwash us enough into building it, and you can't help but wonder if the AOT wouldn't be the crown jewel on the most technologically advance pipeline in the world...
Although I will admit that may be a "pipe" dream. :)
I believe the true answer may be more specific to each individual oil region, as I understand it China's oil has higher parfin levels relative to other oils which is why they may get such big results.
Furthermore, as a Casper native I can tell you it gets much colder here than other places. So while they tested it at the RMOTC in the beginning of May the temps varied between 50-60 degrees fahrenheit.
While during the china tests the oil temp was tested between 95-116 degrees fahrenheit. With the best results coming from the highest temperature oil. So it could be surmised that the AOT may be more effective in warmer climates.
I think that is the most you can really determine from these tests as the only measured independent variables are the oil type, temp, and voltage. All of which has respective affects. Although it appears there is a "Maximum effectiveness" as turning the juice up and up seems to result in smaller and smaller gains.
I would think if you cut pressure in half, you would be able to pump twice as much oil as that would bring pressure back to original levels?
Although if I was head of an oil company I would be thinking that if I start bringing twice as much oil to market I'm going to have start asking less for it... So it may be in their interest to simply keep the same levels of production but cut 50% of the energy cost to pump at lower pressure.
That way oil prices stay intact but they still grow the bottom line.
I am not an expert at all.
Just thinking out loud.

No prob winston.
Sure is quiet today, I think we all were hoping for some news today, but I can't imagine it is too far off.
An increased flow rate of 7.5% is very conservative to say the least when repeated testing has indicated improved flow rates of 100 times that. Maybe they get 7.5% if they plug it in and don't turn it on lmao.
Ha it seems some have a lot to say without being very aware of the actual company or product...
John
"Without electric field applied (at 35.1?), the flow rate of Daqing crude oil is 0.04182 g/s,
corresponding to viscosity 764.5 cp. When an electric field of 7200V/cm is applied, the
flow rate is increased to 0.28252 g/s and the viscosity is down to 113.16 cp. In an electric
field of 8000V/cm, the flow rate is increased to 0.318095 g/s and the viscosity is down to
100.5cp. The flow rate and viscosity are plotted in Figures 4 and 5 respectively. We note
5
that it is a factor of 7.61 for the flow rate to be increased from 0.04182 g/s to 0.3181 g/s.
This implies that under the same pump pressure, the new technology can increase the
flow rate by 761%. The viscosity is also reduced by 86.9%. (Therefore, if we want to
keep the same flow rate, then with the new technology the required pump pressure is only
13.1% of the original pressure)."

Bottom of page four.
and again on page 16.
The test results on Daqing and Changqing crude oil show that AOT has significant effect
on reducing viscosity for paraffin based crude oil. For Daqing crude oil, the AOT can
reduce its viscosity by 87% at 35?, and 40?, and can improve its flow rate by 7 to 8
times. For Changqing crude oil, the AOT can reduce its viscosity by more than 78% at
26?, and can improve its flow rate by 3 to 4 times.
As to Venezuela crude oil, the tests conducted here show that AOT reduced its viscosity
by 42.3%, and improved its flow rate by 67%. Taking into consideration of tests
previously conducted by Professor Tao at Temple University, AOT can double the flow
rate of Venezuela crude oil, and reduce its viscosity by nearly 50% (See Appendix 3 for
relevant data).
Wow a lot of really good info there. Even has a link to the video and it explains how it reduces viscosity pretty nifty!
haha he must of told his cousin everything checks out!
I forgot the J/k afterwards, but I'll take some cheap shares :)
bail.
Haha your funny man, get banned from the RFMK board for spewing garbage so you bring it someplace else...
You must be getting paid a ton or decided you were gonna get rich shorting a pink and that is blowing up in your face.
Like honestly what's the point of this if RFMK is such a garbage company why keep giving it sooo much attention?
There are plenty of other stinky pinks that you could go rant on about but instead you feel the need to keep the name alive, if everything you say is true why not just shut your mouth and let it die?
