Peter must be one smart cookie. Interesting.

I owned 12000 shares of it when it was unknown around 1.50. One of my better ideas.

Sold the last around $4, one of my worst ideas as it soared to $14. Hard to hold any positions overnight now.

>>>Oh and I love my cats, one likes to walk around my laptop keyboard when I's hooked into etrade-pro. Always interesting to see what she bought or shorted. <<<

Probably where this guy got his ideas about crimes becoming virtuous by there number.

Paul, Ever look with HSOA? Its taking hits from stocklemon articles and down this am on rumored "permit" problems for two $100m contracts in major metro areas. You probably have some first hand experience there.

Any opinions?

Peace River and Oil Sands projects, I own some PWE which has operations in the Peace River area (300,000 acres) and also SOIGF which has 100,000 acres under lease. I'm trying to learn more about the area and the companies involved.

Here are some links that may be of interest.

Ref FLOTEK...
Do we hear confessions here?
Here's the short version of my Flotek story:

years ago... ex-drunk at an AA meeting tells my brother about a penny stock called flotek... we buy a small boat load.. and it lays dead for two or more years does a reverse split and very very slowly goes from $2 to $47!

And of course I sold mine at 4 but he kept his and loves to stick me with a quote periodically.

Tackler, San Gold looks interesting to me. Some pretty strong grades being reported. CEO estimates they will be producing 150,000 oz within 2 years. Ever look at it? SGR.v

Gas is $3.65/gal in Grand Rapids, MI area this week, and TRGL seems to want to dip so that the 2 million share short interest can exit gracefully before it runs again. I believe this is one of the best setups around. Thanks.

Bobwins, OILXF one the other side of the coin is strong nearly every day. I haven't seen any numbers or wags, but its defiantly in play.

Paul, Thanks for suggesting LJPC for a keeper. Up nice this morning. New studies look very promising.

Bear, looking at the June options on GERN, obviously some are looking for a major event in that short of time frame. (ie June 16th exp. $12.5 calls at .40 etc.)

Just reading up on the past weeks comments on what might be presented in June should be a near term flag for shorts. One example mentioned makes DNDN's wonder drug look pretty lame.

Aurc is recently the best acting gold stock I own which is nice considering you say they got no gold, no mine just shafts.

Now if that was indeed the case and they are just Russian mobsters, why not play the next card and report an new higher offer from another company which they cant mention because its sooooooooo big).

I mean if you are going to jail for stealing pennies might as well try stealing pounds.

Smoke

Zeev nice to see you back trading again. Been missing your leads into RIMM which i remember you suggesting it could retest the 150 levels when it was down in the dumpster last time.. and so it did. I understand their revenue is like 5 million a day.

Met my first "crack"-berry addict (my son's wife)over the weekend at my grandson graduation from college..then saw a Wang center (Boston)full of them (at least 15/20% are users).

Smoke

You are 100% right, ETRADE has gotten just terrible for bb's and pinks. I stopped using them for anything other than listed.
They use to be OK but now they always miss the mkts.

IDMI, it has been mentioned they could still win approval in Europe. I wonder if anyone has a potential target date for that possibility? And would a European approval mean significant revenue? I do believe they have been funded by European company.

Can't imagine the FDA would ignore the committee's findings but I think its happened before.

Nice one Mars, you probably made more this morning than i will lose all day watching this old can of worms I own. I think I'll just toss em all and start over.

PKTO is there any happiness in out there somewhere in the future?

I shudder at the speed the flow idea.

Didn't CHX run to $2 last summer? That would be sweet.

Thanks T, I think holding some CHX might not be such a bad LT idea either. SGN guys were waiting for some drill results, maybe they are in (g).

Hey Jim, Stop banging my gold stock. Its the only soap opera I got going. Its been a decent play before when it ran from .025 to .40, might actually be real but i confess I know nothing about the buyer.

Smoke

Hey T, I own some SGN. You figure I should take the money and run or what? Stampeeded into Quadra yesterday early and got devoured, but a buck a share for the quarter looked good to me. Any ideas who could produce the next big earning blowout?

Need a larger mkt cap for a contest i'm playing.

How does ACA look to you?

Motley Fool mention maybe helping CBAK also. Worth the read IMO. Also see that blog i've posted recently concerning sandbagged earnings.

Rocket, just missed TAM.v a few days ago at .85US now $1.40ish, kicking myself then see SSP's IYSA made me more with just peanuts invested.

Griff, NURO interesting here, thanks for mentioning it.

CBAk, from recent action there could be some play based on this blog i posted a week ago.

Thanks Mike, PDGT use to trade lots higher.

PDGT ripping, don't ask me why.

Gee I guess sfnn is still in business. Didn't we trade near .08 once?

Tom, Dick and Harry are friends that wind up in front of the pearly gates and St. Peter tells them you'll find everything you ever dreamed of here there just one rule don't step on a duck. He opens the gates and they walk out into the most beautiful world anyone could imagine but there are ducks walking around everywhere. Soon Tom steps on one and St. Peter is there in a flash and handcuffs him to the ugliest woman any of them had ever seen. "I told you don't step on the ducks."

Then moments later Dick steps on one and again St. Peter handcuffs him to a woman even uglier than the first. Harry is extra careful and after a week St. Peter shows up and handcuffs him to the most beautiful woman he's ever seen and leaves.

Harry smiles at the woman and says "I have no idea what I ever did to deserve this." and the woman replies, "Me neither, all I did was step on a duck."

Kind of wondering where these sellers got all those shares? Another BHUB?

Mars, Thanks for the L2 on CBAK yesterday, maybe today but not sure I want to own a company with a mgt trying to play the stock if that be the case.

Mars, Interesting conjecture about CBAK understating earnings.

Etrade being my main account, so its usually them but not always for some reason. They have been missing for me lately.

That's interesting, I thought Nite was the big gun on most bbs.

And etrade has been extremely slow if filling orders, particularly orders on pennies. Often several minute lag before they even acknowledge the order.

I owned this stuff for awhile, it was my biggest winner last year and i'm back in small. But the most positive pr i've ever seen was the recent one where the new ceo explains how the russian accounting system handled reserves underground.

I don't know why he would bother explaining that if they weren't serious about filing. As far as buyouts that's news.. but there were two new bashers show up on the aurc baord about 10 weeks ago. FWTW.
