I'm thinking of jumping into ARGY based on the suggestion of a friend. Haven't even begun to do any research yet though. I'm stuck at my day job and haven't had time to look into anything. Is there anything that some ARGY holders can point me to as I begin looking into this...
1) Corporate owner's back grounds
2) Validity to the patent
3) Potentials with the product
4) Red flags
etc etc
Feel free to send me an email at Renavatio22@hotmail.com if you don't have the ability to PM.
Thanks,
Ren
OT - Wow. That's awesome news. Hopefully this is a step in cleaning up the SEC and will help other companies caught by the corruption of today's market.
Uhhhmmm...the devil made me do it? ;)
I know a boy named Sue. Nasty temper. Can't say I blame him.
Yep. But still no image update as to what was actually submitted documentation-wise...
Okay. Thanks. I'll file that away for my next trade.
Thanks. Even a foolish trader stumbles into to doing something wise every now and then.
Don't have time to watch the ticker like a hawk today and with the Bid/Ask being rather right, I just sold at the bid after amateur hour. Plus, based on the way it traded yesterday, I didn't want to get caught trying to chase selling at the ask.
Wow, I almost sound like I know what I'm talking about.
Went to free shares of SPZI today. One question though for your more experienced penny players...
If I put a limit sell in and it goes through almost instantly, should that be an indication to me of anything?
Told you so. You and I obviously control gigantic portions of the float and the named shorters targeted us personally for our certed shares... ;)
Agreed. I'll be watching the open tomorrow, but not closing at HOD was the signal I was looking for.
Good for you. I'm paying attention to the close today and will make my decision to go to free shares tomorrow. If it closes at HOD again, I'll continue to hold. Either way, it's good to be green.

I only know what I'm told and what I'm told often contradicts so what do you do? Sit, wait, take a nap, make a few phone calls and hopefully make some money lending to/selling for these kind of dreamers as opposed to waiting for their dreams to become reality...
I can't afford to read between the lines as it has cost me serious money in the past in my business.
The general feel for the pit case around HQ based on my experience is that it is an aggrevating non-issue and not at the forefront of daily business. Case law seems to have these boys convinced that winning is but a matter of time. There are bigger fish to fry right now, and I mean that in a positive light. Again, this is based on conversations with Ron and reading Paul's statements in the court docs available to you online. Of course Ron also told me that he can't wait to be out of the sand and gravel business because of the ROI right before they PR'd the MS pit acquisition.
Again, all I know is what I hear and read, and in my business I can't afford to read between the lines too much. That's how you end up losing a lot of money or land yourself in bed with people that give you itchy diseases. The secret to success for me is spell it out, put it in writing in a legal doc, let me do a background check on you, and if all works out well then we can do business together...
Please clarify what you mean Chilar.
No new updates on the Pit case nor the Pro-gas cases. In fact no information at all on the 3 Pro-gas cases.
Agree to disagree. Moving on...
Please move on everybody to a new subject. Thanks.
You are missing the obvious.
But you are right in the fact that the "morale indicator" is screaming a buy if you are looking to trade the next swing that should occur between now and mid-August.
Board...okay, 10 posts later, let's please move on to another subject (ie who is more important). I know we don't have much to discuss, but we're beating this to death.
Ren
One problem...stubborn good old boys...
"Obviously owning 1M shares compares to 10M+ is a big difference and carries different weight."
Sorry Jam, but I have to disagree. But IMO 1 share has the same right to know what's going on as 10M and the same risk depending on how they are leveraged personally. And letting the 10M share holders know, especially outside of making them sign a non-disclosure, is a very steep cliff to walk upon. And obviously, based on your past posts, you are not in a non-disclosure or you wouldn't be so open lipped about what you know...especially given the family you are associated with and their position in the company.

I appreciate your belief in the company. I appreciate the information you bring to the board. I hope you stay around. But we all bring what we find, and not one person who posts here is more significant than another whether they own 1 share, 100M shares, are a moderator or an insider. Like me, you are but a moniker on a screen to everyone here.
Ren
Completely agree.
I agree that they appear to have a plan in buying business that are somewhat synergistic. I just hope that part of the plan eventually equates to an increase in the share price. Ron, Paul and the gang are all to quick to say "We don't care about the share price. We're here to build a business." I understand partly where they are coming from, but don't agree with the method by which they are accomplishing it based on what I "know." And again, what do any of us "know?" Only what we're told. Only the glimpses of "info" we are priveleged to see. The veil is fairly thick still and that is a red flag for any wise investor, but of course no risk, no reward.
I appreciate your apology.
Ren
Absolutely. Especially the Preferreds. And either way right now, whether longs are peeved or not, there is no way with the volume we have that the float is that large. Again, just my opinion.
I expect a tight float. I don't expect crazy revenues and profits that some here do. I do expect nice increases to the asset column.
It won't be too ugly if we all have the right expectations.
It doesn't really matter. I can't prove it to you except that it was in a conversation that I recently had. Take it for what it's worth, but my expectation is to not see huge revenue growths for 2007 but improvements in profit margins. And of course growth in the asset column due to acquisitions.
Like what some other posters have pointed out, "fair valuation" for Phoenix stock is probably going to need to be based off of book value as opposed to eps for at least the next year.
Just my opinion backed by too many phone calls. But what do I really know?
Revenues for Murphy are expected to be in the $9-11M range for 2007 with a COGS for Murphy at $5-7M. So that puts them at close to 40% margin per Ron Blackburn. Court documentations as to how much they pay per ton in royalties and how much they sell the product for is also available but I would have to go dig through all that again. Please don't ask me to do it as I have too much other stuff going on. It's current though because right now the pit owner is making them account for all product moving out of the pit.
Hi Stephen.
Why did you direct your response to me then, when in fact it was Gnulnx who posted what apparently peeved you? Other than that, please point to any post I made today that implies that PBLS is a scam.
Ren
PS PBLS might be a scam. It also might be the best thing since sliced bread. We are all entitled to our opinion here.
The "truth" on Calvin Brown...
Based on info I have gleamed from other posters and public records, Calvin Brown has been in relationship with Ron Blackburn since around the end of the 90's. He was brought into work with Phoenix pre-Katrina to help do private placements with high net wealth individuals because of his personal network. He was compensated as a percentage based upon the value of those placements (5-7% is customary for the service it seems). What his current relationship with Phoenix entails, I can not be certain. I do know that based on back ground checks he is a fairly upstanding member of his community and very charitable. How he's made his money is beyond my ability to determine. He's probably around 60 and is a family man. And no, he's not my friend. Never met him.
This is all to the best of my knowledge. But I can say this, that these private placements are fairly normal for companies like PBLS pre-Katrina.
Ren
He's definitely a sales guy from what I understand.
Supposedly, the family has a background in many things but are the owners of this investment bank in Anguilla. They/John are being kept on staff to basically manage the bank though they provide a sounding board for business acquisitions as well.
Rumors, rumors...
Ren
PS Thanks. We had a great time together over the weekend being together and "kid free."
Expect 1Q2007 and 2Q2007 numbers to be tagged "pre-audited" as well. I wonder how the market will react to that....hopefully well. They say "Pre-audit" because they are not audited/filed by/with the SEC. However, they do have licensed CPA's and SEC lawyers signing off on them before they are submitted to Pinksheets (and then based on that Pinksheets will classify them as current information). Also, don't expect the T/A to be ungagged in August. Phoenix basically feels that providing quarterly share structure is equivalent to "ungagging."
Don't shoot the messenger...
Just a question though I gave a direct "hint" to the latest PR much earlier than this...

John and Karl/Carl are the brothers and Don is the father. My understanding is that Karl is a broker with decent experience and John, well, who knows...I just know that he is apparently based out of corporate HQ now...
I had a meeting with a developer on Thursday in Ft. Lauderdale working on setting up some front-end financing for them. I typically would fly into the closest FBO via SATS Air but with Southwest offering a $200 round trip it was way too cost effective for little me. Anyway, I flew into FLL for the first time and was surprised at how busy it was and then did a little quick research on FXE, where Superior Avionics is based...this is taken from their website...not to shabby for an FBO...

Hey Ereptor,
Sorry it took me so long to respond but I was away for the weekend for my anniversary. You can find info on the case # i gave you by looking at the public records search, civil cases, and then searching by suit #. I checked this morning again looking for updates on the July 11th hearing but no news to report at this time.
Ren
I try to avoid both lately. But thanks for the clarification. As PBLS has grown as large as it has, PA probably needs a few assistants.
OT - Cutting
But is it too late for 80's hair metal songs of the day which I sing at home sometimes in spandex pants...uh...I mean no spandex pants...as in regular pants that is.
"Too Late For Love"
Def Leppard
Somewhere in the distance I hear the bells ring
Darkness settles on the town as the children start to sing
The lady 'cross the street she shuts out the night
There's a cast of thousands waiting as she turns out the light
But it's too late, too late, too late
Too late for love
Yes it's too late too late, too late
Too late for love
London boys are staring as the girls go hand in hand
With a pocket full of innocence, their entrance is grand
And the Queen of the dream stands before them all
She stretches out her hand as the curtains start to fall
Standing by the trapdoor aware of me and you
Are the actor and the clown their waiting for their cue
And there's a lady over there she's acting pretty cool
But when it comes to playing life she's always playin' the fool
I wax poetic. And cars. But only for my wife.
