So Eric was answering questions that I sent him and then decided to send it to the board....fine by me...
First of all, I give him great credit for quickly responding to my questions, however, I also have issues because he really did not answer my questions....he skirted them.
Here is the important part of my email to him:
I am struggling to understand how it is that WNBD is in so many stores but not yet achieving a break-even point or at least higher revenue numbers. I understand and respect that growing is expensive, such that marketing is a signficant expense per Q1 report, but I am not able to understand the lack of revenue being generated.
Also, revenue numbers seem low considering the number of stores WNBD is in....can you explain why that is?
What is the delay from initial order to 2nd order?
Are quantities orderd in 2nd order more or less than original order?
What about 3rd order?
What is driving stores putting product on shelves? Marketing? Product results? Favorable pricing?
Are stores calling to get WNBD product on the shelves?
So, he didn't really answer my questions, but was responsive with his semi-answer...
The question now is: does the pps hold through friday..the typical sell off day.
A breather is not atypical....
Today's PR may also have a play in the slight settling that we are seeing...although, the PR to me reads that there are going to be some awesome PRs in the near future....
Today's PR
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - 06/17/10) - Stratton Holdings, Inc. (Pinksheets:STHG - News) (http://www.stratton-holdings.com/) CEO and Chairman of the Board, in response to many inquiries, released today a corporate update to shareholders:
"In recent weeks we have been getting a large amount of inquiries and questions from new shareholders. In an effort to hopefully answer a majority of those questions a release was warranted.
The recent surge of share price for the company is a welcoming sight for the company. A bit ago the company simply stopped raising capital through equity funding. As shareholders can see this has extremely shown in the share price. The company has also begun a communications project with shareholders where we are much more in communication with them and can work with them to continue to add value into the company. The company has NOT hired a promotional team. No one has been issued shares for awareness or promotional purposes.
Additionally the company filed yesterday with OTC Markets, LLC regarding the freeze of the Authorized Share count for the next year. The reason for this is so that shareholders can see the benefit in the long-term hold and alternate means of funding can be accomplished.
In regards to the future, the company is currently working on a new project that will be released when it is fully finished. It is currently under development and we are determined to wait until it is fully completed before releasing to the public.
The company's other ventures, MarketFriends, NewBridge Properties, LLC and LymeCLR, all have updates coming out in the summer time that will be released when they materialize.
So in short, there is a lot to look forward to for the remainder of 2010."
I don't agree entirely. The delay with the warehouse is because Brian thought he could get a better deal with the State (i.e. free). Whether or not that has panned out is another question, but he has got to know that he can't wait for the State to get its act together forever.
Assuming the money is real, he has got to generate money to pay it back!
I just want the announcement that the Denami(s) have been ordered/purchased. Installation and production would naturally follow. But that announcement would take us to a new base and then give us a much better launching pad once installation and production occur, even if that is later than expected.
I predict July will be the beginning of a sustained turnaround!
Good work!! Nice research!!
I hear you both....and understand well how things work down here, although I do appreciate your comments.
I guess I am in the camp that this is a real company building something that rarely happens down here and that, if I was not in WNBD, would want to pick some up now before it is double or more its current price....but then again, that is me.
Of course, I have loaded up already and not looking to add at this point either....
WNBD will be a great story!
How can a company with a real business model and good news get no pop in PPS??? What am I missing?
Well, don't be down so much....
It is frustrating as many of these stocks can be....doesn't mean there isn't a bounce in it...or that something real can't happen.
Someone on the board stated that he knew where Brian lives. Whoever that is, can you drive by and knock on his door???!!!
Is anyone still trying to talk to either Brian or Mack?
I've been in for months....bought and forgot about it...knew good days were ahead!!! And just like anyone else who bought at trips...wish I had bought even more!!
Just as long as people don't panic and think that a slight drop on a handful of shares means it is time to bail....
I think that, with all the things that they listed that on the MEG site, that they have their hands in too many things to get things done quickly. That is a huge list on the MEG website.....how do they get it all done with limited personnel?
So, we get delays. Hopefully, if that is the case, they have re-focused themselves and are focused on South Carolina. Getting our own plant up and running with sales is the key to sustainable growth.
With Obama's speech last night, we get that plant operational, I would think that getting federal funding would become a whole lot easier also...
so - why is this exploding? What is the driver behind this pop??
Yes, I did speak to him. I would like to have seen this progress further than it has, but I can say that about many of the companies that I have bought shares in PS world.
Anyway, I still think that he and BCND are not bs-ing us. I think that they have a small "team" and are going to make money on this....
All i know is that one announcement of one thing on the list and the rest are real!!! Then this flies!!!
Think of all the eyes on us waiting to jump onboard!!
LOL!!! Hey, it we can capture the gas, maybe we can become an alternative energy company!!!
1) I think that the float is pretty much locked up
2) I think that they are actually trying to do something
3) I think that anything "real" will make all the other potentials even bigger which will excite people new to BCND!!!!
Never give up hope. These guys are PS stocks for a reason....
guys...the momo is coming to SYNJ....I just hope that it doesn't take off before I can get to my goal of 50M shares.
We are closing in on the halfway point of my 2 year prediction!!!
I can feel the MOMO starting to BUILD!!!!
This is JUST the beginning!!!!
It is time!!!
Both will happen!!!! I can feel it!!
How many shares you got?
Well, it seems that they are at least aligning everything for a run in July.
They seem to be saying that demo will begin June/July timeframe and that lawsuit will come within that timeframe as well.
Both PRs would create a run...whether it is sustained is based on actual sales post-demo.

Explain yourself....I too think that there is a future here, but I am not the one who has claimed to know anything...
At some point you need to step out from behind your curtain and tell us what you know...
All good as long as the company does not go bankrupt.
the question is....will it still be in the basement in 3 months?
Hey, I go up and down too on this stock. I have been frustrated more than my fair share.
But each time I get frustrated I review and realize that I knew the risks in this company and calm down.
My point still is that there is no EVIDENCE that they have lied. They may be ineffectual/incompetent, but have not shown to be liars....
They showed in their financial qrtly report that they were trying. That they did not succeed is another issue. But they did not lie. At worst they showed incompetence. But not a lie.
Finra/sec don't get involved in inmpotence issues, just false and misleading issues.
Going to FINRA with what?
Do they have the money? Are they negotiating something with the state of South Carolina?
None of us know either. So where is the evidence of lies?
You know I have spent the past two days at a small cap conference meeting owners of various small cap companies that either OB or trading on the main boards. While meeting with them I thought about SYNJ and the differences between them and SYNJ, and let me tell you, there are a lot, starting with the fact that all the companies I met with are SEC reporting.
But, I also realized that is the game that I got into with SYNJ.
Go forth with your SEC/FINRA actions if you want, but, I think that we need to ride the ride, wherever it takes us. If you have been trading in PINKS long enough then you have been in several companies that went dormant/crashed and then exploded....
Well...good luck everyone. I have some new companies to analyze while I wait this one out. I am still confident that this will have several good days.
I do...potentially a lot higher....but then again, I am not jaded yet.
Don't give up...
Timelines for companies of this size are rarely dictated by the company, especially in the space/industry that SYNJ is trying to operate...
Would be good to know that they are still alive and kicking though....
I have been holding for almost a year with a few boatloads (as people like to say)...the post was not just to you, but to anyone watching....
Now is a good time to get in IMO...if you can get any shares...
I still believe that, even with as slow as they are moving, there is something real about the company....
Could be the drugs I am taking, euphoria of summer, but, I still believe....
That's funny.
:)
The pump is supposedly for the water that is required to remove/deal with the asbestos.
I know NOTHING about this. Does anyone on the board know anything about asbestos and the use of water for removal/resolution?
I would grab shares if you can....looks like one of two things is going to happen soon:
1) They are going to show that they are a "real" company and are going to be generating revenue this year
2) They are going to do the "summer" pump
Either way, buy shares now...if you can.
I agree that they work together, but my question is whether anyone has actually spoken to Brian and got an update about what he is up to....
