It's not just property; its any loan. It has a lot to do with mark2market issues and debt/equity/reserves ratios within the banks. Today things are truly the old joke, "You can't borrow money unless you can prove that you don't need it."
Majority of my time is spent reviewing financial stocks. No one wants to loan money for a number of complicated reasons. Doesn't matter how good your credit is.
I short time ago, I wanted to by a 56 unit apartment complex which had extensive fire damage. I approached my primary lender where I had several investment property loans (all in good standing). When the bank said "No." my response was, "This will be a high ROI, you'd be crazy not to take it." Their response was, "Doesn't matter how much your make; the most we make is only the contracted interest." Yes, I could have packaged several properties and gotten the loan, but I wasn't going to give them the shirt off my back. (a lady wouldn't do that).
Point: Money is tight!
NO! We won't be happy.
I am in agreement with BT. First, Jim said, “Difficult”, not “Impossible.” There are many options available other than direct common stock dilution or merger. I don’t like either of these two options, but were they to be the only options:
I think it is in everyone’s best interests to accept a degree of dilution over virtual extinction. Merger, due to disparity of positions, means loss of control and probable loss of direction such as long term goals. Jim has one basic idea and goal. Ford (and I only use them as an example) has an entirely different goal.
If Ford finds a possible short term or cheaper solution to the race for the green, other than AFT, they would dump or shelve Jim’s project in favor of their perceived quicker or cheaper solution. AFT would fade away in to obscurity. Contrarily, Jim has a focused purpose so competing products or technologies will make Jim work harder (if that is possible) rather than go with the path of least resistance as Ford would do.
With auto manufacturers it is all about cost/benefit analysis. For instance they have a battery of lawyers whose function is to calculate lawsuits from defects or product omissions such as better cockpit protection using more airbags vs. cost to install. If it ain’t gonna make money, it ain’t gonna happen!!
By the way, since Jim has such a long history with Ford, has anyone wondered why he is not heading up this or similar project for Ford? I would guess it is because Ford has a “show me cost benefit analysis results” attitude when it comes to green.
So……. Actually finally getting to my point……..
Some alternative possibilities are, funding from a specific manufacturer in return for a Requirements Contract for a designated length of time, Modified Output Contract, Warrants, Bonds, Debentures or even a loan from a Consortium, i.e., a group of select investors such as members of this Board. (I can feel the tremors from the Board as I am posting this suggestion). We have no idea at this time exactly how much money Jim is looking for, so no one here can make an intelligent diagnosis.
Don’t have long term goals with short term strategies.
I have done no trading today so I can't take credit or blame for today; and I'm sure that the good news has/will have a major(?) effecton volume (and hopefully on pps.
It's funny how different things hit people differently. I thought that the best part of Jim's message was:
Hi BT - I'm responsible for bouncing 1m shares around in the past few days. Didn't do it on news. Did it out of boredome. :)
(early lunch?)
Then there are those of us who are laughing because we sold in the .007s and are poised to buyin at the .003s
Sounds 'bout right to me.
But it ain't open YET ! ! !
This stock is so bad, I'm expecting the company to pay people to take the stock. Anything is possible here.
Where are the pumpers?!?!?!?
In the toilet again - where is the pump? we're ready.
joetm - can't PM
I've got email alerts in on all of the sleeezy pump sites just waiting.
Every CEO has final approval on PR. If he failed to exercise this right/obligation then he should step down. Stop making excuses for him.
Especially when the teacher is an idiot!
When danny agrees to cover my losses if BRAVADA goes down, then I will agree not to flip the stock. Currently I own my shares, admittedly not millions of shares, at $0.0000. No matter where it goes now, I can’t lose – may not make a lot (and probably won’t; but can’t lose).
I don't always agree with ya' but your response to thelimeyone....NICE ONE ! !!
From their own reports in 2010:
In answer to your rhetorical question; lets be honest. There is a difference between the underlying scam and the stock price.
Facts.
In three years Healthmed has never made a single dime on anything that they produced/invented/ etc.
They claimed to own a product which they did not own
They claimed to have been screwed by some foreign students over paten rights.
They are semi-untraceable as to their actual location, which seems to vary from one apparently foreclosed property, to a single home in the ghetto to a mail service office and go from state to state.
They have been involved in pump ‘n dump operations which came to light through the AG’s Office and Federal agencies………
And the list goes on.
I haven’t lost a dime in HEME, and am waiting for the next P&D. When it comes, I’ll get in and out and make money. But please don’t say that the company is anything but shaky. (There are several other words I would use rather than “shaky” but I’ll leave those up to your imagination.
There’s money to be made; I just wish that at least one lousy dollar of it came from something that they produced rather than from who they can get to invest??? In their stock.
Old news. Most of us know what the building looks like. But since someone brought it up; the reason Jim is looking to North Carolina is because current building is right for R&D it is too small for their new production requirements.
If I were trying to notify everyone that I were a scam artist, I would call myself Lunascam. If I were trying to expose scams, I think I would call myself Luna_scam_hunter. Just a thought. But I'm a thinker, not a trophy wife.
I wouldn't bitch, but I can't even get out of the driveway to go skiing. looks like a work from home day :(
I feel for ya'. 2 feet of snow here and still falling.

Change in Directors or Principal Officers
ITEM 5.02 - DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICER
On January 17, 2011, HealthMed Services Ltd. (the "Company") received the resignation of William B. Morland as the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President, and as a member of the Company's Board of Directors, which resignation was effective on that date.
I was just thinking about the same thing....I'm thinking around .017 ????? Maybe!
As I understand it, current natural gas lines are already in place. DME will not be trucked except locally from depots to fueling stations.
P.S. We don't need to supply anything until we have a product which uses the DME. Let's concentrate on the hardware production:)
Look at the past history - understand the length of time the hype is good for, and don't be the last one off the ship. The pros know when to get in and OUT!
This is Scottrade’s final final answer after review from supervisor.
Since I have 2 diametrically opposed responses from Scottrade, please have this reviewed by a supervisor.
Thank you!
Final answer...Scott leaves them with the MMs.
So, I just got another email from Scott stating that they leave it overnight with the MMs....WTF?!?!
I have now requested a clarification, since I have 2 opposing answers. :(
If you have a partial fill on Monday and carryover to Tuesday for the fill, Scott will charge a 2nd transaction fee for a trade the next day (regardless of how many partial fills it takes on Tuesday)on that original GTC order. I asked and got an answer to that that question a....long time ago.
So...fill over 2 days =2 fees - fill over 3 days = 3 fees. :(
So...what they say and what they do appears to be different. Guess I know where NOT to trade ! ! !
I have 4 accounts, all with GTC options. If This is being done, it will really PISS ME OFF!
I'll post as soon as I get an answer. I will also check with my other brokers. But I still doubt it; kinda like I doubt the .0001 buys to .0002 sells!?!?!?
I have just read the entire contract from TDA and found no such clause. I have sent TDA the following note.
I was told yesterday that pink sheet GTC bids are cancelled every night at close of business, and resubmitted to the MMs at 9:30 the next business day. This makes no sense, and I am hesitant to believe it; in part because one would lose their spot on the L2 and also create unnecessary work for TDA.
Please explain.
One of my accounts is with TDA. they claim that they do not cancel and resubmit. I will now have to get written verification of that. If that's the case, then BYE, BYE, TDA.
The only thing I would add to that is to set a couple of $ alerts...................Just in case :)
Ah!!! So your issue is not that you are not getting information; it is that you are worried about losing money; truly a separate issue.
Ask yourself, “What will my having more information do to increase the value of the stock?” If the answer is, “Nothing,” then what is the purpose of knowing more than what you know now? If the purpose is to allay your fears, I would suggest that you wait until you are at a breakeven and run like hell! C and FMD are great buys and require little to no hand wrenching.
If your purpose for wanting inconsequential or repetitive data is to push the stock up, it AIN’T gonna work! We don’t need a sugar high, we need sustainable production and favorable income ratios.
AFTC is not going anywhere until it commences significant production and acceptance and use by a major automobile manufacturer. Wishing will not make it happen. Pumping will not make it happen. This is a long term watch and wait stock.
Many of us on this board have stated this ad nausium. It appears that you accept it for a few days and then, “ Ya but,…………..”
Cool your jets, before you blow a gasket. :)
Bubble Tea Important note on email.
Why?
