Micron Enviro Systems, Inc. Negotiating on Ukrainian Oil and Gas Prospects
4/22/04
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Apr 22, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Micron Enviro Systems, Inc. MSEV (OTCBB:MSEV) wishes to announce that it has entered into negotiations to participate in a possible partnership on one of several of the approximate 100 prime oil and gas pools within the Ukraine. MSEV would be one of a
few different companies'that would make up the partnership. One of MSEV's consultants has assembled a technical and legal team from Calgary and Chicago to assist into the negotiations. Meetings are ongoing between the consultant and senior Ukrainian officials. MSEV hopes to have a decision regarding this tremendous opportunity within the next few weeks. Bernie McDougall, president of MSEV stated, 'This project could be an extremely large prospect. It is still in the early stages but if MSEV were able to participate in a prospect of this magnitude it could add significant value to the company. The consultant has developed a relationship with Ukrainian officials, and if a deal can be consummated, MSEV would make up a portion of the consortium of companies developing the prospect. It is quite exciting to think about, but it is stressed that it is still in the early stages. However, we are going to continue to be very active with our ongoing projects in Texas over the coming weeks. Our goal is to become a mid range oil gas company and it is projects like we have and are negotiating on that could help MSEV achieve this goal.'
MSEV is an emerging oil and gas company that has both oil and gas producing properties. MSEV's goal is to become a mid-range oil and gas producer that focuses on the exploration, discovery and delivery of gas and oil to the North American marketplace. MSEV currently has thirteen independent sources of oil and/or gas revenue. MSEV's production is from nine oil wells in Canada and three wells producing both oil and gas revenue in Texas. MSEV is currently involved in four separate multi-well oil and gas prospects, and we continue to look for additional projects that would contribute in building market capitalization.
If you have any questions, please call MSEV at (604) 646-6903. If you would like to be added to MSEV's update email list, please send an email to info@micronenviro.com requesting to be added.

IRSN , the 50ema is very close to the trading in the last few days and slightly above the 200ema.
this company trades up and down a lot. been hot since homeland stuff is hot.
it looks like when they have a spike in volume it retreats to lower pps.
hi para and to all. would it be too hard to explain the falling wedge reversal? would that be drawing the tops and btms to the apex breakout? this is for ivan. this is one of tom c. tout from mkwt and now is gone from the cbs stuff for releasing information to soon in the text laws of journalism.
SPSC seems to make a new high every week. they have something that others have needs for their product.
it does look in the overbought range this week.
one thing i don't see any real spikes and that is good for them. this is how hlsh chart did and topped out in the $6.00 area.
we will have to look at the whole pic for the HQNT.

Universal Express and SCI Agree to a Sale Back
Wednesday April 21, 12:30 pm ET
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 21, 2004--Universal Express, Inc. (OTCBB:USXP - News), has reluctantly agreed to sell back SCI to its former shareholders. The Company decided to do so as a result of the "inaccurate and defamatory press release irresponsibly and hastily given out by agents of the Security and Exchange Commission prior to our now scheduled December 2004 court date. The resale of SCI has caused further economic damage to Universal Express and its shareholders. A great deal of concern and apprehension was voiced by SCI's insurance carriers, financial institutions and clients regarding the SEC public complaint leveled against USXP. Some clients did not want SEC inquiries if USXP remained as principal owner. The SCI shareholders decision to request a repurchase of the stock was motivated by the SEC's press releases. Therein, existed our dilemma" said, Richard A. Altomare, President & CEO.
"Should we have maintained ownership and thereby subjected SCI to irrevocable damages caused by the retaliatory SEC press releases or do we simply maintain all of our strategic and delivery partnerships with SCI, eliminate $7,000,000 in long-term balance sheet debt, increase cash flow by recapturing our down payment and some profit, and finally enter into a first right of refusal purchase agreement after our lawsuit against the SEC filed in Miami Federal district court is concluded. On behalf of Universal Express we chose to protect a very fine Company, its clients and its employees. Our decision will enable SCI to continue its excellent relationships and impeccable reputation, which have been tainted by unfounded, irresponsible and retaliatory behavior of an agency that now alone is responsible for the loss of a highly potential but now former subsidiary. How ironic that the agency perceived to protect shareholders has become the one that circumvents the judicial process by its unfounded and hastily issued press releases."
"This transaction will definitely be added to our list of damage claims caused by the SEC in our naked short selling and abuse of power lawsuit filed against them on March 2nd."
"Our shareholders and supporters know the real cause of this action: our original lawsuit filed which asserts that no agency, no matter how powerful, is above the laws of our Nation and that no agency, no matter how powerful, can suppress the truth and misuse its powers. With power must come responsibility" concluded, Mr. Altomare.

excerpt from greenspanomics today. it is interesting but nothing new.
04/20/04 : greenspanomics
The Federal Reserve Chairman told the Senate Banking Committee that signs
of deflation were no longer an issue as the U.S. economy has gathered steam
in recent weeks. He also noted that banks are likely to be much better at
weathering interest rate changes than they had been in the past. The
commentary revived jitters about rising interest rates.
