Well said, macod.
Restriicted shares are what these terrible insiders took, LOL.
You know, shares they can not sell.
Now, it seems to me that choosing to get paid in shares you can not trade is not greed encrusted behavior, is it, LOL?
Some might even say (moi, LOL) that what they ACTUALLY are doing is feathering their nest (horror of all horros) in a way that both sets themselves up to profit massively when a suitor steps in AND which does the least dilutive damage that can be done at the present time.
Like other JPM who are going forward on vapors, they could sell surface assets, couldn't they?
But guess what? They did the exact opposite.
During the last year or so, instead of a fire sale of present assets to finance the future, they have locked down nearly 900 acres of above groud acrage.
How disingenuous of them, to not adhere to the "I'm a greedy insider" playbook! LOL.
How dare they violate the theory of the greedy inside guy!
LOL
Why.... instead of feathering their own short term wallets, they take only unsellable shares!
And instead of a firesale of today's assets, they work quietly, with zero fanfare, to establish a great big footprint on the mountain!
You know, I am not alone, it seems, in a knee jerk notion that the filing that showed up yesterday ought to be dilutive......
Well, 40 million shares are openly trading shares, but the 75 million shares have to be paid for by the option holders, which means a wash in that money has to flow into SFMI to counter balance the issuance of any shares under the 75 million share side of the filing.
They are options, so I guess in actual truth, 75 million covered by the filing are not dilutive.
But there are 40 million shares to take under consideration, and while not a huge number of shares, it still remains that 40 million shares are 40 million shares.
BUT!!!!
Well, I think it is a perfectly valid point that, in classical SET THEORY terms, JBII is amongst the set of companies who are, or have at one time been, in a pre-profits stage of company development.
Innumerable successful companies can claim to have been inside of this pre-profits developmental phase SET.
JBII belongs in this pre-profits, developmental phase SET.... a set consisting of companies who are, or have at one time been, developing a unique technology around which to frame an innovative company.
In JBII's case, however, how large is the SET OF COMPANIES (pre-profit or otherwise) who can be said to be attempting to turn plastic back into petroleum prodicts, AND who have obtained verifications from two or more sources that demonstrate that the story behind the start up company in question is a valid story?
How many companies occupy the same set brackets as does JBII in having gotten environmental permitting, that validates their niche technology, from the New York State DEC?
And how many companies remaining after culling according to the above, have also survived serious scrutiny and lab testing by impartial benchmarks administered by recognized third party entities?
So, to summarize,
There have been innumerable technology companies who, at the same approximate timeline in their existence as JBII, were too new to have exited from the "pre-profits" phase. JBII is, according to those set brackets, in a well populated set.
That was your point, if I'm not mistaken....
...that JBII is spending a lot of $$ in the present phase. Bear in mind, it is entirely appropriate for any company in the , developmental, pre-profits phase, to be spending money like this. After all, that is the criteria that is common to innumerable companies occupying this set, LOL.
For that reason, in that there are now, and have been in the past, innumerable similar companies occupying this set, I fail to see the importance of your point. To be frank, IMHO, it is irrelevant.
But.... then I choose to cull that set of companies.
When the other criteria, delineated herebelow, are employed to cull this set, it remains 100% true that this little company is the one and only occupant of the set of companies competing in this narrow technology niche who have gained governmental permitting that verifies the legitimacy of their technology, and who have obtained similar non-governmental verifications that likewise certify that the company is well down the road to delivering on a unique vision to recycle the mountains of waste plastic, which pollute our precious world.
And furthermore, after culling the set, it remains 100% true that JBII is unique and has no competition whatsoever.
The set of companies of which the above is true is a single item set list: JBII alone.
What will most likely happen next, IMHO, is that JBII will emerge from being in the "pre-profits" phase and will become profitable.
Even then, however, it will be unique, but in that instance, it will then have become the one and only PROFITABLE technology company occupying this niche set.
Hope this helps.
:o)
Imperial Whazoo
Exactly!!
JBII stands alone and the definition of who can be considered to be a competitor is NOT whether or not a patent has been issued.
Indeed, to belabor my sarcstic point from my prior post today, if it were to be accepted that the definition of a competitor in this niche is the existence of a patent, then in that no patents have been issued to anyone, it follows that JBII is thus competing with all entities operating under the umbrella of that tortured definition.
The fact is that there is nobody even in the running to do what JBII is well down the road of having gotten accomplished, and as such, it remains a fact that JBII is alone and is unique and has no competition.
Imperial Whazoo
Nice but not, LOL.
The defined terms of the discussion are that I have to accept the proposition that the existence (or not) or patents is the fulcrum to the logic?
Really?
Am I to accept the proposition that filed patents, and only patents, define the competitors?
Then, since no companies exist having patents of this kind, then using terms that appear to me to be rather tortured, it follows that JBII has unlimited actual, real, known competition.
This logically follows because, in that no company has patents to what JBII is doing, then JBII must, by definition, be competing with every company on Earth who also do not have patents. Using the existence or not of patents as the fulcrum or the pivot point that defines who is a competitor, that is.
If I adopt this approach (which holds that patents define who is a compatitor), it must obviously be true that JBII is satutrated by instances of competition!
Why, if the existence of patents is the defining criteria, it logically follows that JBII competes with Nabisco in their manufacturing of Oreo cookies..... (they make cookies, but they do not have a PATENT covering Oreo cookies)
Or Neimann-Marcus stores (they have stores galore, but they operate without being covered by a patent)....
Or even Jesse's Garage, down the street from me, to whom I send my cars to be fixed.....
So, if I were to accept the proposition that, lacking patents, JBII can not be said to be doing anything definable, then it must be true that JBII has innumerable competitors!!!!
Therefore, my assertion that it is true that JBII has no competitors generating a solution to the pollution problem presented by the world's massive mountains of plastic waste is the exact opposite of the actual case, for far from having NO COMPETITION, JBII actually competes with every entity in existence who does not generate some kind of commerce that is covered by a patent.
Wow.... when I get grown, can I sit at the feet of the promulgator of the idea that the thing that defines whether a company has competitors is the existence (or not) of patents? Please, mother, can I? Can I?
:o)
PS.... to be honest, I still 100% maintain the point I made originally....
No, my issue is specifically and deliberately targeted at what you said in your post.
There is no company on earth offering the technological marvel that is what JBII offers to the world. I return to what is 100% true, as stated by me previously.
And as regards one particular statement by you, I need point out that there has not been a single instance that buttresses the assertion that it
All the time the agonizingly slow trading predominated, everyone grew calloused, IMHO. And then, for no known reason, somebody (or somebodies) decides that this late afternoon is the time to pick chunks up. 100,000... 150,000... 94,000... 48,500... 65,000... 46,700... 53,300...
There is no way to ignore this kind of accumulating at or near the EOD. Anyone with much experience in the markets will have been in the spot where you are waiting for a good time to buy, looking for price. As the day end draws nigh and you see that the dynamics are going to remain as they have been all day long, you have to decide to simply step in and buy. I see the action near EOD, basically due to the size and the steadiness of it, as indicative of the above being operative.
Somebody apparently just stepped in. And I maintain that there is no evidence of anything that would work to argue against this being somebody (or somebodies) who waited as long as they could and then simply pulled the trigger and bought the available prices, in big chunks.
Simple as that.
Something is afoot, and I think itchy trigger fingers are beginning to step in in anticipation of news on at least one front, if not on several
We'll see.
In any event, the size of the action at the EOD is not to be dismissed, IMHO.
Peace.
Imperial Whazoo
IMHO, this comment is illogical:
My unstated point precisely.
Imperial Whazoo
snow - It puzzles me what this means:
I humbly praise your helpfulness. Exactly the ticket. Well done and thanx.
Imperial Whazoo
Well, I looked at the hidden stuff that is the info page of Yippy's iHub page and there is nothing under
"LATEST NEWS: Marketwire Press Release"
That is more recent than August 2011 that I can see.
I learned the days of the week and the months of the year in college (LOL) and as far as I remember, August 2011 is not even close to being "recent", LOL.
And the "Executive Summary" is devoid of references to anything happening last Friday, so I don't see why people have to be rude and act like its there. Its not there at the top of the info page and thats all there is to it.
I like helpfulness and tend to gravitate that way myself, and your help is much appreciated.
Imperial Whazoo
Correctamundo TOAD, and thanx for graciously offering me that help.
I had been in it on the recent run up. then I made the decision to take profits and I assumed the parabolic move we had seen was all there was going to be. So I ceased tracking it and traded some other things. Then my volume screener kicked this one out again today and I re-bought. Since somebody referred to a summit, and since I knew a less-than-recent version of things, I read backwards a few pages and then, not finding the summit specifically explained, I decided I needed to just eat humble pie and ask the question.
Thanx.
Imperial Whazoo
Look, I got all that but if you will notice all the dates on that top of the info box data, they are not even close to being current.
My simple request is that the inapparent answers to my two questions be addressed:
1.) is there a recent "summit"?
In that it is said that there was some kind of "summit" in some posts today, if follows that somebody knows the specifics and I can not find them, even though I've looked. What "summit"?
2.) what specific, particular news is expected at approximately the end of day today.
Again this reference to expected news today is more specific, and more current, than anything in what you pointed me to. I'm informed of what is said in that non-current info data to which you point.
What I do not find is the specific, particular, detailed data about the two items I deliberately asked about in my post.
Imperial Whazoo
I have been reading backwards but I can not locate some things a lot of posts reference. Was there some kind of summit?
and what is the expected subject matter of this hoped for news?
TIA
Imperial Whazoo
Well, they have DECLARED INDEPENDENCE....
From the kinds of financing choices available to other start-up JPM's.
Thats been the point, all along.
Now bear in mind that the ability ot steer clear of the coral reefs and sand bars and rapids everyone else has no choice but to navigate is not the same thing as saying: "We are financially independent"
They are not saying they are financially independent, and I'm not saying any such thing either.
Neither am I saying that they are claiming profitability.
What I have always maintained, and what is borne out by the 5/23/12 PR and the PR today, is that SFMI is able to navigate differently than any other start-up JPM.
Personally, I think it is typical of human nature to dislike any entity that has the freedom, like SFMI does, to separate itself from the norms everyone else is burdened by.
SFMI started it's life as a ship sailing the wrong direction, according to norms in this industry, and the very idea of so doing is going to engender criticism. Of course, I do not think they actually went the wrong direction, other than the Melba episode, because I think they have above ground rock piles and I always believed that these piles were chock full of precious metals, waiting for the right "outside of the box" thinker to attempt a novel idea.
And we now have a long list of assay results, and a newly expanded mill. We know dore bars can be poured. There is a rather large concentrate stockpile, too, if reports are to be believed.
We have all kinds of shareholders coming back from shareholder meetings with photo evidence of vaults under construction and heavy vault doors and buildings full of equipment that is not from a movie set. We all know it is real.
And today, we get a PR about the building being all but done, and plans for new employees being hired.
The difference in story here comports with my opinion that, if any JPM in the USA ever hopes to rise above all the burdens placed in it's path by regulators alone (not even considering financiers), it has to have a "hook" that makes it different, and I think the 800,000 tons of above ground rock are the meaninful difference as regards SFMI.
I believe SFMI will soon announce that they have the commitments to plan the drilling project. I would not be the least bit surprised, personally.
And another thing: I do not agree that drills have to be in the ground. If this is funded by committed investors, we will not see interested share buyers sitting on their hands, waiting for "drills to turn".
Thats my opinion, anyway.

Imperial Whazoo
Imperial Whazoo
OK... Here's what I think about today's PR.
First off, it is better written, LOL.
Secondly, and far more importantly,
Thats my take on it. It will proly be news driven, followed by an up move that is natural, and then there will be a cover.
Thats how I think it will happen.
Imperial Whazoo
Whats your opinion of what, if any, preomonition we can draw from their appearance of that SHO list of late? In that volume has been so pathetic during those 6 days you point to, I am puzzled by this appearance on the list. I take it to be a quiet before a storm, which is going to be an upside explosion, if you ask me. What say you?
Imperial Whazoo
Do you mind my asking you what gives you confidence that there will be a PR coming out in 48 hours, more or less?
TIA
Imperial Whazoo
Well, my basic point is that, if there is a patent corresponding in time to the Feb announcement, then the technology is real. If there is not, then the technology is fake. All any entity need do, which AERS has not done, BTW, is put the patent link in the PR. They did not, and that is a fact, and to judge by the punch out of the temporary support today, I'd have to say that the market has decided that your contentions are spot on.
As always, the market has the last word. Simple as that.
Lets see if the failure to support the price levels in the ascent continues. My read is that the drilling down and demanding that a patent link be presented, and the resulting abscence of that link being supplied, has pretty much doomed any support for this stock. It is what it is, as the kiddoze today say.
L8r
Imperial Whazoo
Edited: on the other hand, it is still bouyed by folks who seem to think there will be news forthcoming. Personally, I'm not jumping in until I see a news release that specifically links back to the patent office info itself, and furthermore, if they do come out with news of a partner who is licensing their technology, I want to see that partner named in the PR along with AERS. Simply asserting there is a partner, with no link to a current patent, will leave me unconvinced.
OK. So I entered D571792 into the patent office site as a patent search. Nada. What exactly do I do with that number, if you don't mind telling everyone? I only want confirmation of this patent. If its been issued, it seems rational that it can be found, if you ask me.
Imperial Whazoo
Allow me to correct that mistranslation:
The take down has been attempted twice today and failed both times. The thing that has thusfar failed is not the pump, but rather, the attempted bear raid.
Hope that helps.
and again, all you need do to make your case is prove the PR about receiving a patent was a fake. If you can prove there is no patent, I'd say you should do it and that would put this argument to rest, wouldn't it?
:o)
Imperial Whazoo
You are kidding, right? The announcement that was officially made that they got an actual patent back in February is bogus..... thats what you are trying to sell to me, right? Prove its fake. Thats my point.
In the face of a PR link that is to a Feb 22 announcement that the patent was received, your insistence that the character of the guy is that he is a fake and that the technology is fake.... well, you have no real evidence to answer with in response to the evidence that everyone can see which is an announcement that a patent has been issued. Simple as that. This guy may indeed be the worst man in the universe on a moral level, but the fact remains that if the patent actually exists, your assertions are unsupported by facts. If unsupported, they thus have to be considered as being without merit, IMHO.
Here's a postulate for everyone: if a patent link exists and can be posted so people can go to the government patent site and look to see it for themselves then it is a FACT then that the technology is real and this fella being called a fraud is not a faker of a technology that does not exist. If, on the other hand, there is no link to a patent approval on the government patent site, then the assertion that this guy is a faker and a fraudster is legit.
Capiche?
My position, in that I got a link to an official patent announcement when I asked about it, is that the technology is real, regardless of whether this guy is a faker with a past history of fraud.
Why do people think I deliberately asked for links to the announcement of the patent? Do folks think I did that just to waste a post? Maybe my deliberate intent was to remove from consideration this rather odd notion that a thing covered by an actual patent is not real.
Here's what is needed. Can anyone supply a link to the actual government issued patent itself?
Now, the patent office link is what is necessary because, right now, we have an open issue:
All we have at the moment, in way of evidence, is a PR about the patent.
Thats how I see it.
So.... anyone know the patent site link itself? That would sure put this question to bed, wouldn't it?
Imperial Whazoo
Well, the low that was mase as the high volume intercept of the AM takedown today is getting a retest. Actually, its been punched thru, but it hasn't held the punch thru.
So whoever it was who stepped in and took a big position down here earlier today just got handed a temporary loss. Right now, its sitting at the 618.
Re-tests of both high and low points are natural. The tale of the tape will be whether the low is yet to come on the pullback or whether it was engraved in stone by the volume event of which the interruption to the takedown consisted.
If this does an intraday .786 pullback, I might need to take a gander at the possibility of this being a Gartley butterfly. We'll see.
One interesting thing is that the rule of thumb is "Buy the rumor, sell the news". If this thing takes the froth out PRIOR to the anticipated news by going ahead and pulling back to the apparent stoppage point it now rests at, then I'd say we might see a rise if and when news shows its ugly mug to us, LOL.
We'll see.
Imperial Whazoo
Thanx.
So basically, what we have here is a bunch of bad crap as history, but intervening and replacing the historical bad things is an actual patent for a mind blowing bit of high tech magic that the world can definantely grasp and that it definately needs big time.
And since the read of the situation is bolied into a decision to either grant that the past dictates or the new magical high tech is the front runner.... that is what needs to get decided: is the past the governor or is the new patented technology the world needs going to be in the drivers seat?
Thanx again.
Imperial Whazoo
When was the patent issued and does anyone have any links to it that I can look into?
I could re-read all the old posts but a leg up would help expedite things in terms of pointing me to the exact things I need to DD to comprehend so I get an accurate picture of why there was a big buy this AM that stopped the take down dead in its tracks. And IMHO, a big step in that smacks a bear raid in the chops happened & it having happened in such a pronounced way argues against this being just another pointless pump-n-dump.
TIA
Imperial Whazoo
Correct me if I'm wrong because I trade a bunch of stox, not just one. But this puppy has a bad history, but they also FINALLY have patents, which expands the analysis beyond a mere recitation of past sins. So, am I correct in my understanding that what has actually happened is there are FINALLY events that are connected to patents?
So, past history is bad but current situation is characterized by a legitimate expectation that there will be some news coming out that leverages the patents that have just come to be. Correct?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the move happen becasue the company FINALLY announced something substantive and we are waiting to see follow through evidince in the form of news?
And if this is the case, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the buyer at high volume that stopped the take down in the first few minutes today..... isn't that evidence that somebody (or somebodies) thinks there is a reasonable likelihood that there is real news in the near future?
Thats how it looks to me, anyway.
Imperial Whazoo
Yeah, this thing could have behaved like most stinkies do. Usually, a huge parabolic is followed by a major cratering. I think thats what was expected. As a matter of fact, the attempted takedown this AM was the behavior I just described manifesting.... or, more to the point, it was the behaviour ATTEMPTED by those playing the typical things that are generally expected.
It looks to me like there was a mindset that this thing was done. Stick a fork in it.... that kind of thing, but it also looks like there were only a few playing it that way because volume is the evidence of actual opinion, and we saw this takedown fail bigtime at a high volume buy-back-in price low of .0125.
What happened yesterday is how I got the inkling that this one actually may hold without the precipitous crash that typifies these kinds of stocks. Yesterday, I worried it was going to do the big bad pullback, but it only modestly pulled back. Not even a .382, to be honest about it.
This AM, when the spooksters managed to call for a charge to the down down, it looked like yesterday's modest decline (rather than the usual huge pullback), was going to play out as is typical, only this time, a day off the usual timeframe.
But it was not to be because at .0125 there was a large volume step in by a player or two. You saw it and I saw it and it was real and it is now rebounding. Put the chart up as a 30 minute chart, for example, and what jums out is a hammer candle.
To be precise, there was a volume of 468K in one minute at the bottom of the swoon.
So obviously, somebody (or somebodies) thinks this is well worth a step in at that level or we would not have seen the volume there.
And, look at the fibonaci's. The low at .0125 was, to the tick, the .618 pullback of the move. Pretty spooky when it hits these fib levels spot on, in my experience.
So, IMHO, it looks to me like somebody (or somebodies) thinks there is actual news upcoming & that this run is not just another flash in the pan.
Thats what it looks like to me anyway.

When does the quarterly to which you refer show itself? I'm hoping you are right.
Imperial Whazoo
I expect news too.
So, let me ask you a rhetorical question, Garick: Is it really some kind of shock that restricted shares and things such as warrants are part and parcel of money raising activities?
Really?
REALLY?
Suppose it were true that SFMI had spent the last year securing a very impressive claims portfolio on War Eagle Mountain?
Guess what people.... thats exactly what they did.
Here are the 2010 and the 2011 10Ks and they show that SFMI has vastly added to it's claims position, and as such, it has greatly improved its value as a company.
Last year's:
http://www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=7837890
This year's:
http://www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=8539985
Here are the facts, people, about whether all that the SFMI insiders are engaged in as a a business plan to gut the value of the company via self-serving, pocket lining dilution, leaving ordinary shareholders with little, if any, value.
Total claims acreage added 2011 - 859.4 acres
Number of claims added - 56 claims
Their actual results were a huge increase in the asset value of the company.
You point out something about the Level 2. AUTO is offering 3500 repeatedly.
Now, in the retail world, we average joes get to see what they let us see, which in this case is the 3500 offered by AUTO. I can not know how deep AUTO is. Neither can any other retail trader. We can not know how deep the supply at 3500 per offer.... we can not know how deep it is.
All we can do to hack away at supply is to continually take the 3500 offered and thereby discover whether each 3500 taken is instantly replaced by another modestly sized offer at the same price.
Presumptively, there will come a point where the supply gets chewed up. Or there could come a time where the ask still offers the same 3500 each time, but they raise the ask. As of now, in that they repeatedly offer 3500 and do not raise the price they are offereing at, it follows that the intent of this supply by AUTO is to dampen down price.
Logically, if this instance of shares being offered was not distorted intentionally, the very fact that every offered 3500 chunk gets absorbed quickly would result in the price on the ask getting raised.
After all, if profit were the motive, such a case of supply getting easily absorbed would result in price on the ask getting raised. But in that it does not rise indicates to me that this is manipulation in plain sight. JMHO
Imperial Whazoo
Yep. 3.972 million @ .05 @ 12:38:42 AND 4.2 million @ .0494 @ 12:38:46.
That was $198,600 and $165,480 for a combined total of $364,080
My "guess" is that they are actually responsible for a budget of $375,000, and that the "missing" $10,920 out of those two is somewhere in other trades today. Just a guess.
Anyway, to a chartist, a major step-acroos at a wave low on volume like that says one thing: wave bottom, baby! Wave bottom.... or near to it.
A couple of years ago I attended a seminar here in Dallas that was put on by a big time trader on the radio/web. He talked about using tighter Bollingers than the standard. So I use 12,.8 or 12,1 (depending on the chart package) Anyway, using my tight Bollingers, I want to point out that the low side of the Bollinger in this present ascending wave is being toughed all but on the nose by the execution of these huge trades of 365K shares at about .05
This means to me that somebody other than me uses tight Bollingers and somebody other than me looks at this stock, at .05, as a bargain. Simple as that.
Somebody definately thinks this puppy is well worth 5 cents, LOL.
Imperial Whazoo
Now folks... how about them apples? LOL
I had not any more than let the ink dry on my clear complaint that an oddity was afoot in that there was a coincidence of paralleism because of blogs about symbol changes and a cessation of any trading going back to 5/23....
..... I'd not even had enough time for the ink to dry on my question/complaint/observation.....
.....and this thing suddenly posted a trade! LOL
10K shares an 12:09 Eastern.
So there ya go...
....the symbol is unchanged, despite the "rumors". This little stock is obviously still alive. And obviously somebody is following the blog sites because its just too much of a timing coincdence for this question to be pressed with emphatic force (by moi) and then, after 3 days of total inactivity, "trading" reappears.
So, we are still alive. Rumors of there being something afoot are without merit. We have a pulse.
:o)
Imperial Whazoo
No. Your reply told me absolutely nothing at all.
Of course I knew full well that the symbol is and was and has been BLDW, but some folks, if you bother to read the blogs, have posted that something is going on with the symbol and, also, if you bother to chart things, you have no choice but to notice the obvious fact that BLDW has put forth absolutely ZERO ticks and thus ZERO chart points. None. Not a one since 5/23.
Maybe its TDA's charting tools. Maybe its their ticker. But then, several others I have access to show no chart activity too. So it looks like something is afoot.
So, be helpful or don't. What you replied was absoulutely devoid of anything helpful or informative.
As to my question, I just wanted to try to elict an explanation to the oddity that appears to be afoot.... the chart activity (or to be correct in stating the matter, the absolute abscence of any chart activity at all).
And my question regards the curious fact that, paralleling the cessation of trading activity since 5/23, there have been posts about name and/or symbol changes.
The symbol was BLDW. According to searches of the name and its symbol it remains BLDW. Yet the fact remains that there is blogging going on and since the 23rd, when it seems something has changed, the blog has suggested that something is afoot.
My question, which you did not even come close to be helpful regarding, was to probe the general pool of interested parties to see if there was anything that could explain what appears to be happening.
So, people.... what is the explanation for the fact that there appears to be something afoot regarding the symbol and that there appears to be a complete cessation of trading activity since 5/23?
Anyone know anything?
Imperial Whazoo
Does anyone know what's going on with the symbol? I've been tracking the blogs regarding the apparent name or symbol change but the event itself is not showing itself to be something we can follow anywhere. First off, there is no news. Second, just do a search on the name of the company in your broker's "stock symbol search" tool. It still comes back as BLDW.... basically no difference. In TDA, for example, it was BLDW.... still is BLDW, but there is no activity to even chart.... since .0379 on 5/23, that is. So, anyone got the inside skinny on this thing. As of right now, its in limbo.

I think the deal is that these guys are not only "willing" to come in and make an investment. After reading these two 13D's, I am convinced they WANT to make this investment.
IMHO, these guys are not showing up just to strip the company and move on to the next big thing. It looks to me like what they have constructed as the business plan here is something they intend to have become a HUGE, fast growing, bigtime story out there.
I think they intend to grow a bigtime growth story in the business and in the chart of the stock.
I hope it acts like PEIX did back in 2006. Remember the politics of ethanol?
So, after I digested the 13D's, I'm more than halfway to the point where I hope I get to play in a stock with that kind of explosiveness in its chart, which would be directly related to the self-interest these guys will be protecting; the success being due to their having stepped up as described in those two 13D's and their now having something that they need to protect and that they can trumpet in public venues.
I am today hopeful more than ever before, folks.
Well done, deep pocket guys & gals. Well done indeed.

This "profits to come" subject is the talk today, but what occurs to me is that its a tad ahead of the game. I say we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Now, to be clear, I agree that we should see some nice numbers next quarter, but, IMHO, we have current fabulous things that are far more interesting than speculating about future profits. As I said above, IMHO, we will croos that bridge when we come to it.
So this is current:
We have just has two fabulous 13D's filed. They show a collection of very powerful people stepping up to invest. They show the outlines of the way going forward as regards JB resolving each legal impedement. They show that there is every intent to construct a company that is a leader in the green world and that appears to be being set up and organized so that it can become the kind of giant that gets talked about as a great growth stock on Bloomberg, CNBC, & such programs as Kramer's.
The directors, 12 of them, are going to have to be experienced directors of major companies. The governance will be streamlined to prevent amateur mistakes going forwardst.
This is being injected with investment steroids and it is being constructed deliberately, with great care and excellent foresight.
Experienced investment players have stepped up.
That is the current story, the subject of relevence at this time. Thats why I'm laying the wood to the talk of profits in the next quarterly. Sure, I expect income to get reported. But, I say that we need to keep our eye on the road that is right in front of us today. IMHO, as regards profits next quarter, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Just the Vichie & Dorrell connection puts them in Blackstone's wheelhouse of cross pollenators.
Can you say: "Primed and fueled"? Can you see the cocktail party chats happening over there in the kitchen area of the penthouse or on the balcony or on the golf course over the 3 day holiday week-end?
Buzz baby... B U Z Z!!
There is a massive weight in the connections of the parties involved here. Heavy in spades!!
