Well...TRPL certainly is showing it's not
a short term play. grrrrrr
The news was released on my news wire at 8:00am today, yet the market reacted with a ~100% move yesterday, much like what occurred with MDGN. It showed a pre-market and opening gap at .15, and logic would dictate a modest run to the high teens was forseeable, if not more. But when do logic and the market have anything in common?
The trading has made no sense all day. It seemed there was a wall at .145 and .15 on the run up, with nothing being allowed to show over that.
It is what it is, but I'm surprised by it.
Bo
It moved strong yesterday prior to today's
news much like MDGN.
High volume open with possible profit taking from yesterday, so moves could be delayed.
Watch it close, I thought it would break out as it gapped at open.
Bo
chartin..good call on TRPL. Low O/S and
moved to .44 in June.
Good find with AM news.
TRPL Now!....
Yesterday's close .13
O/S 49 million
A very strong runner in the past. In May thru June, move from current levels to .44/share.
Excellent news this morning!.....
TRPL Medical Division Announces UN Agencies evaluating HIV Rapid Test Kit and Launches Worldwide Sales Campaign
8/31/2004 8:00:12 AM
HIV (1 & 2) home testing kit provides over 99% accuracy rate
EAST ORANGE, N.J., Aug 31, 2004 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Transportation Logistics International, Inc. ( TRPL ) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Advanced Medical Diagnostics (AMD), has met with senior officials at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City to evaluate the use of AMD's HIV (1+2) Home Rapid Test Kit.
Michael Gilbert, AMD's President commented, "United Nations agencies, in New York, Washington and Geneva have been contacted, sent samples, and are evaluating our Kit for worldwide use. At the request of three West African nations, as well as UNAIDS and the World Health Organization (WHO), the effectiveness and accuracy of the HIV (1+2) Home Rapid Test has been tested and approved from China to France."
AMD's kit tests simultaneously for both HIV 1 and 2 with an accuracy rate of over 99%. The company believes this kit is one of only a few in the world that performs this dual test; it is by far the least expensive. No home HIV (1+2) Rapid Test Kit at any price is currently available in the United States. AMD reiterates its previous announcement that it has no intention to seek FDA approval at this time.
AMD further announced that it is launching a worldwide sales campaign to introduce the company's HIV (1+2) Home Rapid Test Kit.
Gilbert added, "The rampant spread of AIDS throughout the world starts with the HIV virus. To easily and quickly identify those who need treatment, it is our belief that the Health Ministry in every country will choose to distribute our HIV (1+2) Rapid Test Kit at no cost to the individual. The earlier HIV can be detected, the sooner treatment can start. No one should be denied the right to find out whether they are infected, and at a cost of under $4.00 each, no one needs to be."
Gilbert further reiterated, "I'll be visiting Ministries of Health in West Africa, along with Ibrahima Ciss, our Vice President of African Sales, starting next week. Our Vice President for South America, Luis Castillo, is already shuttling between South American capitals, and believes his first order will come imminently from Brazil or Peru."
AMD anticipates the average order size for its HIV (1+2) Rapid Test Kit to range between 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 units, per ordering country.
In the fight to contain the spread of AIDS, AMD stands by its product's motto "Recognition is the First Step".
AMD donates HIV (1+2) Rapid Test Kits to the Grace Children's Foundation for free distribution to all children's foster homes in China.

Hi Janet, it would seem that with other
announcements of retailers, this should continue upward. This on top of the various products they are developing bodes well for in the months ahead.
I'm happy with the profit I saw on this one, but you're correct. It's one to keep an eye on or positioned in for a potential long term play. If the low O/S holds, time will be on your side here.
Bo
LOL Zen...
I've got to sign off before my hardrive turns into popcorn.
I'll double my position in Orville first thing tomorrow morning. : )
Have a good one my friend,
Bo
Lightning storm here, got to signoff, but
to respond to BRIG_88, in light of today, I'll say this:
1) Without a doubt our A/S is 800 billion, and remains a concern unless there is some valid explanation for why this was done for our benefit.
2) OTCBB is not our source of reference for O/S.
What you say may be true, but I have seen no reaction from the market that what you say has occurred, or that 300 billion dillution has taken place. Either case would have resulted in a fall to .0001 and continued trading at that level. Dilution and price drop would have resulted in very high volume levels, which we simply have not seen either.
Still waiting for the filings, but barring something I am not aware of, I'm eliminating OTCBB as our source for determining O/S.
Be well, Bo
Hi wannab...the most likely place we will see
the authorized and outstanding share structure for CMKX is in their SEC filing when they again become a reporting company.
I very much doubt we'd see such information in a PR, unless it addresses the naked short issue. In that case, there is a chance they would mention such figures.
Bottom line to B_L_S_H's post is that neither OTCBB's figure earlier this month, nor this figure are based on the Outstanding Shares of the company.
The filing of the 300 billion additional A/S occurred on 8/18/04. I see NO EVIDENCE of 300,000,000,000 dilution in the market over the last 7 trading days prior to this morning.
To be seen, but I'm far more optimistic than I was this past week. : )
Be well, Bo
B_L_S_H...your post is THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT THAT EVERYONE MUST NOW SEE.
This is actually good news, and it is very simple to see.
When the OTCBB ratio came out, there were only a few voices that considered that the ratio was based on A/S and N O T O/S.
What more proof do we need than what OTCBB has given us today??
If 300,000,000,000 were issued to the market for trading, we would have seen an instant drop to levels at .0001 with the bid back to being non-existant. Trading volume in no way reflects such a flood of shares to the market, nor does the sustained price (it even rose to .0004 at times today!).
I have seen share dilution: IBZT, WNMI, IVHO (now IVHOC) and know what such increased volume and price drops look like.
Does anyone else agree or disagree?
Does anyone else think that by the mere fact the 300,000,000,000 shares are authorized and not ISSUED, that the figures listed by OTCBB are based on the A/S??
If you say yes to the last question, do you believe there is the possibility that the first OTCBB figures earlier this month were based on A/S and not the TRUE O/S??
Then, do you think there is a basis to believe that the O/S is even less than 483 Billion stated in the first OTCBB report?
I do. : )
Be well, Bo
In GLFD..thanks crumb
JCWW: nice chart. With bid break, we could see strong run...
Nice volume.
Bo
STSI: Last 5.25 nice!
STSI ready to run again 5.15b / 5.20a
Deal prospector. : ) Given all of the
national exposure and the countless people they have touched at the races and all over the world, they definitely have set the table for a QBID like run. If their plan is revealed and very positive, it will send a shockwave through the investment community and we will all be smiling. Anything contrary to the concerns of last Monday will be well received. : )

Med Gen Ready to Enter $2 Billion Analgesic Market
8/30/2004 8:00:00 AM
BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug 30, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Med Gen Inc. ( MDGN ), manufacturers of the national brands Snorenz(R), snore relief throat spray and Good Nights Sleep(R), sleep aid throat spray, announced today that it intends to make an early release on a new analgesic spray formula catering to both adults and children that find it difficult to take pills.
The "Spray's the Way" technology that Med Gen has spearheaded these past 5 years is showing signs of enormous growth potential. Med Gen management believes that by taking ownership to this niche business it can successfully navigate its products onto the shelves of major retailers as an alternate to the large array of products that now compete in pill and caplet formats. The advantage to Med Gen's throat spray technology is that it is easier to use, is absorbed quickly into the blood stream for maximum effect and caters to the "Pill Hater" population that just cannot swallow pills easily. Med Gen's management has set its goal at a conservative 1% market share, which would mean an additional $20 million in sales. This goal could be achieved within 12-36 months of its entrance into the market.
Med Gen's Painenz Spray(TM) will contain Ibuprofen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, more commonly classified as an NSAID. In effect, Painenz Spray(TM) will provide relief from pain, tenderness, inflammation and stiffness and will be used to treat osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout and even painful menstruation.
Med Gen's "Spray's The Way" unique delivery system provides the practical alternative to pills, caplets and syrups. The adult version has a pleasant fresh minty flavor and the easy to take children's version will taste like fruity bubble gum.

For this purpose, any statements contained herein or incorporated herein by references that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes", "suggests", "anticipates", "plans", "expects", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements.

I promise to buy the first round of drinks if
this plays out to our surprise.
Absent of last Monday's news I would be far more optimistic.
In light of last Monday, I have to remain more cautious in staying positive here.
Have a good Monday and week prospector. : )
Bo
pros, that's the post I was referring to.
Thanks,
Bo
CMKX: Good morning all. : ) I took a couple days
away from the boards, and felt good doing so.
In scanning but briefly this morning, I saw the post they pinned on PB32 at the top, which to be quite honest is nothing new or changing. Value and potential are there! There has never been a question about the potential of CMKX's claims. Many posts have been far better than the one on PB32 have been offered. Last Monday's revelation of 800 billion authorized shares certainly doesn't change the potential I mention at all.
The blindsided kick in the gut that came last Monday, is that the market value (pps) may have a hell of a time ever reflecting it. And as a result, all we did, like countless examples before this one, was support another personal windfall for the insiders of a company that in the end, wasn't straight with their shareholders.
The PB32 post mentions this glaring fact not at all.
For everyone who has supported and believed in Urban to date, we'll soon know by the SEC filings if our O/S is surprisingly low, or at world record levels as some assert.
There is no question that PR's will be coming. The question is whether like MANY other stocks on the OTCBB & Pinksheets, will dilution of shares follow in the wake of each PR.
The ball is in CMKX's court. I hope that our trust in their words and answers has been well placed. We'll soon see. I'm still holding well in the 8 digits of CMKX. I'll watch like everyone else to see how this plays out.
Last Monday already seems like months ago.
Be well. Here's hoping for a good week for everyone. : )
Bo
wood, just set trading goals and see what
happens. AUTQ needs some news to update, so set goals and take it from there. I saw it rise after a recommendation this morning which is why I stayed away. Not that it's not a good choice. But I react more to news driven moves. With news soon, these levels may still be very low for AUTQ.
I just see the low O/S, good sales reports and news as the driving force with MDGN, which is why thought I'd see how far the ride takes me.
Bo
Mach, thanks. There are decent SEC filings
for both companies (AUTQ and MDGN). Not great mind you, but certainly revenue producing companies. Further, their recent news and developments lends itself to even better financial results and potential market expansion.
I wouldn't mention any at this point without it being a reporting company that shows revenue generation.
SSWH to me is a rare ground floor opportunity. I can tell you are aware of the pride MANY people have in their cars and sports teams. Matching the 2 very large markets the way SSWH is doing shows me much promise. Being involved at the SEMA show, and moving forward with Marine wheels shows me they are serious about what they plan to do.
CMKX simply has great intrinsic value to me based on the number of claims and anomalies revealed in their recent surveys. The share structure didn't concern me up until Monday. But it does so now. However, if they move to become a reporting company, and show great results from their current efforts, AND the share structure is surprisingly good...then the sky is the limit.
Any new plays I may mention however are ones that are reporting companies and show promise. This summer, there simply hasn't been much to look at given those criteria. Today seems to be a breakout for a few stocks. I am only interested in however ones that file with the SEC and show revenue generation and low O/S.
I'm not in AUTQ and not planning on getting in. MDGN however shows promise in that if their product is picked up by other major retailers as well, their strong move will continue. Their O/S is only 18 million. : )
Be well, Bo
Peeking at AUTQ now. Mach I pray you don't
mind me mentioning other stock besides CMKX and SSWH.
I have no position in AUTQ and debating whether to get in. As for MDGN, it's still showing strength.
The only reason I mention either of them, is that as of yesterday MDGN was ~ .01 and AUTQ was .0060 per share. This summer has been a rough one for all OTCBB and Pinksheets. Our CMKX is up to .0003, but you can only sell right now at .0002. I hope and pray with the amount of shares I am sitting with on this one, we see a QBID like rise very soon with CMKX.
The 2 stocks I mentioning are simply because of their potential and strong moves, which is something we haven't seen in many, if any lately.
Be well,
Bo
I hear ya Drill...
Definitely an investor here too. To truly day trade and be consistant and viable at it, you need to be EXCELLENT at market timing and have a top shelf trading platform.
I can honestly say neither fits my profile and a bit beyond what my nerves could take..lol
I'd rather be in on the long term values plays anyday.
This was simply one that caught my attention, and so far so good. : )
Still very much in CMKX and SSWH here.
Be well,
Bo
Drill, it's true, be careful on buying
into this one now. The run was SOOO fast, I got in at .29 and not sure if this has much left in it. There may be another run a different times today, but watching closely.
As of yesterday, this one was ~.01, trading now at .30.
The 10Q doesn't look bad, with ~$750,000 in sales for nine months. This of course is prior to today's news which should reflect nicely on future filings. Like I say, you rarely see me calling out stocks, but the move on this was phenominal.
As I say, be careful. I watched this one from the bell...and the chase was on. lol
Always invest in accordance with your own risk level, and own DD.

Meijer's to Sell Med Gen's Snorenz
8/27/2004 8:30:00 AM
BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug 27, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Med Gen Inc. ( MDGN ), manufacturers of the national brands Snorenz(R), snore relief throat spray and Good Nights Sleep(R), sleep aid throat spray, announced today that it has received purchase orders to ship Snorenz(R) to all Meijer's 150 stores.
"This placement is extremely important to Med Gen's growth since Meijer's is a dominant retail force in the mid-west, specifically Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin and Kentucky," said Paul B. Kravitz, Chairman & CEO. Med Gen's recent advertising campaigns have meant a lot to the brand's success.
Meijer opened its first store in Michigan in 1962 and since then has grown into supercenters featuring over 40 departments in over 150 stores across the Midwest. The stores feature extraordinary selection, low prices and friendly service. They will now offer Snorenz(R) and snoring relief to all their thousands of customers.

MDGN...literally on fire!
I rerely post other plays, but this morning has been amazing for this one, this after a 1000% gain yesterday.
I would write more, but I'm still not in this yet..lol
I'll probably chase it to my detriment. I have tried getting in since the open....grrrr
Be well, Bo
Mach, logged your post. Excellent thoughts
and if what CMKX has said and done is true and share retirement and minimizing dilution is their goal, then yours is a post for all to read and understand it's potential.
Great job! Bo
BlueD, kudos my friend.
Excellent post. And I haven't forgot about the great potential of this company. If I do, your post is one of the references I will use to remind me.
Absent their filing of 1 week ago, I could honestly see the clear path.
If the A/S becomes the O/S, then I certainly hope it is put to some extraordinary use, and not P & D. We would all be smiling, and certainly have a few things to talk about forever. : )
If the A/S doesn't become the O/S, and a surprisingly low O/S is shown on filings to the SEC (when the file to become reporting), then the bluff may well have been in play, and we should all be happy CMKX campers.
Be well! Bo
You got it wannab...just make
sure there's room for Captain's right beside it. ;)
Gone for now all,
Bo
LOL Zen, no way. We all have to start smiling
through this somehow..lol
No post that brings a much needed smile is a worthless post!
Bo.....'s gotta go for now. : )
Zen, venture capital is certainly an option
and likely involved in last weeks meetings.
With the very high daily volume in the billions, and sometimes over 10 billion per day, I would think the opportunity for a capital investment company would present itself daily, without the need for dilution up to 800 billion, but that's only my opinion. Your point about obtaining large institution is a very valid one, and I for one will be exciting to know more about this as it plays out.
I looked at the Citibank PR of August 9th, and I'm not seeing where NITE will not be trading equities (stocks) anymore. In fact the pr seems cogent that NITE will continue equity trading.
Harking back to my days as a finance major at Penn State (no football comments please..lol), stock derivatives involved stock options (put & calls), and commodities trading. A derivative is a security or contract which serves as an instrument only but has not value on it's own. The value lies in the underlying security or commodity or index which it involves. Again, this would include things like options and futures. OTCBB or PinkSheets wouldn't fall under this definition. I don't think I'm reading the pr wrong, but I am open to discussion on it. Please note I'm not saying you are inferring NITE derivatives trading involves OTCBB or Pinksheets, I'm just trying to keep the distinction clear. Further, I would hope such linkage and resolution does not fall upon the back of CMKX shareholders.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C)
August 09, 2004
Citigroup to Acquire Derivative Markets Business of Knight Trading Group
Leading Provider of Options Execution to Become Part of Equities Division of Citigroup's Global Corporate and Investment Banking Group
Citigroup Executes on Plans to Grow its Derivatives Business
New York, New York and Jersey City, New Jersey — Citigroup (NYSE: C) and Knight Trading Group (NASDAQ: NITE) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Citigroup, Inc. will acquire the assets and operations that comprise the Derivatives Markets business of Knight Trading Group. The purchase price was $225 million in cash. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2004 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including antitrust and regulatory approvals.
Acquiring Knight's Derivatives Markets business provides Citigroup with electronic and floor-based market making capabilities in listed equity and fixed income options. Knight is a leading provider of options execution in the industry and is a specialist in approximately 500 options classes, covering nearly three-fourths of all equity option order flow on most U.S. options exchanges.
"The acquisition of Knight's options business is consistent with our efforts to expand our derivatives market making capabilities, as evidenced by our recent appointment as an electronic specialist (E-DPM) on the Chicago Board of Options Exchange," said James Forese, Managing Director and head of Global Equities at Citigroup. "This transaction will add significant scale to our U.S. equities business and provide Citigroup with top-tier order-routing and market making capabilities in our growing derivatives business."
Thomas M. Joyce, Chief Executive Officer and President of Knight Trading Group, said, "Knight made significant improvements to its options business since it was acquired in 2000, adapting to the dynamic options market by increasing efficiencies and introducing new products." Mr. Joyce continued, "Knight is now a significant market maker in the U.S. with profitable operations, a strong brand and industry-leading technology and trading expertise. Ultimately, the hard work of Knight's employees transformed our options business into the attractive asset for Citigroup that it is today."
Good or bad my friend, this has sure been a ride not for the faint of heart.
Zen has the popcorn. I'll make the soda run. What's everybody else bringin'? The show is just getting good.
Be well,
Bo
Thanks Zen. Hey, pass the popcorn would ya? : )
narvo, exactly and what thus what
I offered is ALREADY being played out. A shake from .0004 has shown itself these last few days.
We will all know upon the SEC filing to become a reporting company, whether the bluff card is indeed what they played.
Let's not forget though, the other important facet of such a move is too protect from any attempt at a hostile takeover, so the bluff has 2 positives to it: 1) Cheaper share retirement and, 2) Protection from such an attempted takeover.
I pray this is the path they chose.
Be well, Bo
narvo, I follow your argument, and
my answer is echos back to something I mentioned earlier.
My direct answer to your question, is that NS shares may or may not be considered shareholders of record. Again, this is why I requested my certs. What we are sure about is that those that hold certificates, or own CMKX in street name (through brokerages), or held by insiders (including Urban) are registered with 1st Global as shareholder's of record.
If NS shares exist, I highly doubt they would be on record with 1st Global, since they have the accounting of all recorded owners.
So, if a large entity owns 350 billion of NS shares you give in your example, they would not be a party to a dividend as outlined in the PR's.
My response would be to them, "see the culpable MM's for resolution to your problem".
More than a few have said...oh we have to raise our O/S to 800 to let the MM's cover...
My response to that is, you are biting off your nose to spite your face.
The resulting detriment of 800 billion O/S to help the MM's will far outweight any forseeable benefit.
If there is a NS problem, it should be the MM's to resolve, not us.
I hope that helps.
Be well, Bo
