more general info and DD sources here....

btw..MBAH recently did a 10 for 1 forward split so with all the insider buys early this year I have a feeling they have plans to bring their SP right back up where it was imo....how many other OTC's have you seen do a forward split??? none that I have ever been in for sure.
http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=MBAH&newpost=1
MBAH---OS of 77 million total,shares are extremely easy to sell but to buy them is another deal altogether,do not try your AON option because I doubt it takes.Worth some serious DD and as many probably knows the recent PR about obtaining the Screaming Eagle trademark is a big deal.Still a fairly unknown company to.

MBAH Update
MBA is working on multiple things that can positively impact the company in a major way.
They are in the middle of acquisition discussions with at least two more companies. These may be more significant than Screaming Eagles in that they would immediately impact the bottom line with a positive earnings flow. When I first mentioned that they were pursuing acquisitions, it seems the ones they are working on now are the ones they were most excited about when I first learned of their efforts to make new deals. These deals can add a net gain of up to $1M in earnings, not revenues, to the bottom line moving MBA into profitability. Remember the company is not debt ridden which is a big consideration. It is also why they are issuing and selling shares to finance these acquisitions. That is what shares are for after all. Since they are a legitimate company they could conceivably receive more traditional bank financing to facilitate acquisitions, but this way they incur no new debt and then can build up the share price with added value although there are more shares to work with. That is what you want with a penny stock if they are issuing shares. You have to ask: are they lining their pockets with those shares or are they using them to grow the company. The answer seems to be squarely in the latter. This would be a decent stock with the lower float, but it will be a better one with a higher OS and real growth. They have good management and their management team expansion with real industry veterans shows they are gearing up for that growth. Then the stock can become valued higher with new subsidiaries acquired plus additional partnerships and insurance affiliations bringing home the bacon in real increased earnings which we will see this year if they accomplish their objectives.
Regarding additional partnerships, they are also working on some big ones. One would be one of the world's largest insurance related companies. Another would be a automotive related membership organization with a large membership that is looking to offer insurance to members and MBA may be tapped to be their service agent. All of this brings more cash flow and earnings, so I'd say any of these announcements would be significant as well.
They seem to be working hard. That is how you grow a penny stock into a higher valuation with real fundamentals. If you add shares and bring value and earnings as a result your shares can be worth more on a market cap basis with more OS than less as opposed to just staying stagnant as a company. Since we already know MBA Direct is a very legitimate company we have reason to be optimistic that patience will pay off if the company continues to execute.
FANC may dump more shares, but if more announcements come they will be absorbed. A company like this and with their growth strategy can be worth alot more both on a market cap and per share basis with double the current shares, so stay tuned to see how the company fulfills their objectives. Then the stock could really grow. The dilution has kept the price down at present, but I will say their has been some additional pressure of naked shorting involved and the PPS has still held up much of the time in spite of that which is good. Additionally, there are some major investors who are taking advantage of this price to average down and accumulate so they are not complaining about FANC too much since it represents a buying opportunity to them since they are confident the trend will be up in the end anyway.
Cheers,
IvG

Market maker to take $79 million charge to settle SEC
By CBS MarketWatch
Last Update: 7:14 AM ET July 7, 2004
E-mail it / Print / Alert / Reprint / RSS
LONDON (CBS.MW) -- Knight Trading, the largest market maker in Nasdaq stocks, warned Wednesday that second-quarter earnings would miss expectations and said it would take a $79 million charge to pay for a settlement with U.S. regulators.
Knight said it reached an agreement in principle to settle with the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASD to settle a probe into institutional trade activity, conduct and supervision that occurred in 1999 through 2001; and books and records, document production and record-keeping deficiencies.
Knight expects its Knight Securities subsidiary will neither admit nor deny the findings as part of the settlement.
Terms call for Knight to disgorge $41 million in institutional trading profits, and pay $13 million in interest and $25 million in penalties.
Knight said it would miss the second quarter expectations as a result of "market conditions were challenging, with volatility and volumes low in the equity and options markets."
Knight said it now expects to report earnings excluding one-time items of 6 to 11 cents a share, below the average analyst estimate compiled by Thomson First Call of 15 cents a share.
"The trio of rising rates, higher oil prices and an unstable Middle East worked to keep investors, both retail and institutional, on the sidelines," said chief executive Thomas Joyce. "We believe that this slowdown is not a long-term issue but an event-driven downturn fueled by specific uncertainties."
The stock (NITE: news, chart, profile) closed Tuesday down 58 cents at $9.23.

MBAH...strong buy imo......This is just something that I thought you should be aware of concerning MBAH. With the new move into motorcycle extended warrantees and even more to come, the possibility of generating a LARGE number of sales with little to no expense is quite exciteing.
There are many LARGE groups/organizations of bikers out there.
I belong to a group called VROC ( which is Vulcan Riders & Owners Club) We currently have over 14000 members ( and we are a SMALL group. Another Custom Crusier Group I belong to has over 55000 members.I know for a fact that the mangement of MBAH is NOT opposed to offering GROUP rates. So in essence ONE single email can now reach 14000 active BIKE riders/owners, many of which may be interested in Insurance.
The AMA ( American Motorcycle Association) over 300000 members WOW ( Women on Wheels) and many many more can all be contacted and offered excellent coverage by MBAH at a little to NO expense as it would be compared to years ago to do this.
So it is VERY feasible that in ONE DAY we could wake up and see that MBAH has sold 50,000 - 75,000 policies and this is JUST THE START!
This is just one of the many new acquistions The Screamin Eagles.:) ( Mostly has delt with customized Harleys)

MBAH....overdue for a PR concerning figures on the Screaming Eagle aquisition and also on the upcoming companies about to be acquired.Very low floater and moves quick,has had no major volume for a long time.
(from RB)
news on EQIX....news expected soon on MBAH....eom
S-8 is heavy on AGRD...out for now also!!!
many pennies getting tore up today...oh well typical Friday for most,I'll hold my MBAH and AGRD until next week for sure
rumors hitting DWB's on AGRD concerning the DHS contract,any facts on this in a pr would send this way up.
AGRD---Armor Plate:
During the patent search proceedings for our plasma glass coating, several applications of this technology became apparent. In theory, by changing the material slightly but using the same technique, we can add an extremely hard coating to just about anything. One of the many applications discovered was in the field of armor plating.
Our lab created several small sample plates for testing. An independent lab in Austin, Texas carried out tests using a wide variety of weaponry, and specifically the 7.62 x 51 mm round (the standard NATO-issue military round), at a distance of 50 feet. Testers shot the plate with the armor coating, took photographs, and fired again at the uncoated backside of the plate. Comparisons were highly favorable for the armor plating.
We are currently working on improving and protecting this finding by filing patents and running more tests, as well as gearing up to be able to manufacture and eventually bring this product to market.
Airport Security Software:
In response to the tragedy of September 11 and in pursuit of compliance with the Patriot Act, AüGRID’s team created a conceptual security program to contribute to the safety of our homeland airports. The original project was assigned to the Database Group, an Ohio custom software specialist, to co-develop a program using existing RFID technology and proprietary hardware and software to develop an exclusive state-of-the-art integrated airport security system. The program will be launched by AüGRID Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary, Codestar Corporation.
In pursuing the recommendations of the September 11 Investigation Panel, a second phase was added to the project. The second phase relates to the communication and notification of key personnel and agencies in a secure and timely manner, in the case of an emergency. Codestar®©™ is designed to track baggage and passengers at the curb, both in the terminals and in the air, and is intended to bring greater security and peace of mind both to travelers and to airport personnel.
Plasma Glass Front Plate Coating:
AüGRID Corporation has filed for two patents to protect our intellectual property relating to plasma glass technology.
The applications, U.S. Patent Application #10/465729 and International Patent Application #PCT/US2003/019479, address fundamental problems with plasma glass and the plasma industry in general. These patents cover a plasma glass coating and the process of applying it to the front plate. This will address the following issues associated with plasma glass:
1) Emissions of ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light;
2) Achieving a better color balance through a color filter; and
3) Protecting the front glass plate in order to significantly reduce and potentially eliminate fixed-image burn-in.
With the help of overseas consultants, AüGRID is currently in discussions with several glass substrate manufacturers in Japan and elsewhere in order to license and advance this technology.

MBAH and AGRD.............eom
AGRD...best sub out here right now imo....http://www.augridcorp.com/
MBAH and AGRD both great candidates
MBAH chart looking strong upward trendy,could break .03's on low volume with only 60m OS it won't take much.Also watching and buying more AGRD at these levels,its soon to be a massive runner imo.
MBAH would not shock me breaking through the .03's on just a few trades,as I did the math it appears to only have about 60 million shares OS.It closed slightly in the green yesterday but buying starting coming in and could of pushed it further if time permitted.MBAH is one I intend on holding for the real run and imo will be over .15's
common sense for AGRD and MBAH,look at both websites and do some DD,NANO is big for AGRD along with the 2 other industries they are in.MBAH has aquired and is aquiring 2 other companies both will compliment the company.
