I agree. I bet will see .20-.21 by week's end.
IMO, Gulley
This is the first investment I've made. I'm a broke college student. So I only invest in penny stocks right now. The second time I decided to put more investments in my portfolio, I looked at other companies. I know you should diverse your portfolio. But I came back to ESPI. I couldn't find anywhere better to put my money. So I'm putting it where my mouth is!
Hello ESPI shareholders! It's been a while since I've posted here on the boards, though I do take a peek everyday to see what's on everyone's mind. I've been busy with more important things in life. Though I'm still holding! I've never had a doubt about ESPI. I've always seen a positive quarterly and annual ever since I bought my first set of shares back in August. I personally haven't had the chance to read all of the annual, quarterly and recent PR's. Though later tonight I will do so and give some of my feedback of what my take of it is.
Though from what I have read on the board and from skimming though the annual and quarterly numbers, it seems ESPI is making great progress!
I'll try to be a little more active on here for now on. Looking forward to talking to other shareholders here and seeing more progress from ESPI!
GLTA, Gulley
Before you shit your pants. Can you tell us where you got this? Link or screen shot? I checked my brokerage, no indication of a split. Checked Yahoo Finance, no show of a split besides a 15.873:1 back in 2007 and a 1:20 back in 2009. Come back to us with some proof of where you saw this. Thanks...
Gulley
Financials should be coming out on Mon. If not either Tues. or Wednesday, but no later! Though I'm pretty damn sure it's Monday. Don't quote me!
Gulley
I figured it was a low percentage.
Gulley
I'm still new to investing. I was wondering if there is a percentage of how many OTC stocks get bought out?
Gulley
I did some D&D on some other penny stocks. I know that it's best if you don't put all of your eggs in one basket when it comes to investing. But after all my research, ESPI is the only one out of my list that I could feel comfortable investing in. I see nothing but progress here with ESPI. Not to mention America's booming fracking business and more importantly US's interest in their own oil underground. Being political problems with Iran which is the world's 2 biggest oil producing country. Supposedly useing money to build nuclear weapons. Plus, why not fuel our own economy. More jobs, cheaper gas. Sorry for rambleing on. Though it's a steel and had to average down on ESPI.
Gulley
Give it time! ESPI is making great progress. Their quarterly is coming out 2ed week of Feb. This new PR firm will let everyone know of their good numbers they will post. No more shity news article from some no name source.
Gulley
I bought some more ESPI! Could not resist passing up .9! What a steel, really!
Gulley
Great post stervc!
Gulley
Couldn't agree more!
Holy Moley! High vol. today and it's only past 1 in the afternoon!
I saw the small buys, looked a little late. Thought i was the only one! But who am I to say? IR firm is putting in work! Next week will be interesting to say the least!
Great finish today!
Prev. close. 10
Vol. 134,000
Close. 1580
Up .0480 or 43.64%
Seems every Friday is a good finish for ESPI. The best close in a while! We will see what Monday brings!
Sorry, last one came Nov. 14. So that would be around Feb. 14, right? Valentines Day or possibly the 13th which is a Monday.
I think they come in on the 7th of next month. So a month from tomorrow.
Hold on to your hat. ESPI is about to take off imo! Good volume lately! Great price to end on. Good news today.
I couldn't agree more!
I still don't understand this tactic you are talking about. They buy high and sell low repeatedly?
I love seeing the graph measure vol. in the millions.
Volume is great today as well as yesterday! This IR firm is really helping.
I see where your coming from. I'm glad I didn't see that low of the day at .9. I probably would have shit my pants!
Gulley
So your selling on Monday?
Yeah, I would have excepted a message to the shareholders in the article of why he did so.
I don't know who their last investor relations co. was. But this new co. looks more serious about their line of work. I say, good. But I wonder how much more or less we're paying this co. compared to the last one. Look at their website, like StocksGoneWild said.
Thanks, now I understand. Well I would hope it's for more business. Now this is what I don't understand. If ESPI was bought by another co. would we have our shares with the new co. still?
What do you mean by a new publicist? Sorry, I don't understand this area yet.

Not that it would make a big difference, but there's actually 35 employees. Not to sound like an asshole, but it wouldn't make a big difference. I don't know where you got your G&A number. But last Q10 was 2.2 million. So...just rounding numbers, their rough numbers...
2,200,000/35=63,000 last 3 months.
or
6,000,000/35=170,000 last 9 months.
Just remember, these aren't people who sit in cubicles and pick their nose. I know it's a little steep. Though their all engineers who went to school for 5 years or more and are worth their salary, smart people and they have family they need to support...just give it some time, your in a good spot. I know being stuck at .12 is not what we want. This next year in 12' will be a big year. Just wait for Feb. 10Q and hopefully a big upcoming PR (hopefully). It'll pay off soon, be patient, don't worry!

Horse rider arrested for fighting
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo., Dec. 14 (UPI) -- Police in Colorado said a man who brought his horse into a Safeway food store was later arrested for fighting at a bar where a friend had brought her horse.
The Steamboat Springs Police Department said Michael Joseph Miller, 44, rode through town Sunday with friends Kenneth Recker and Roxanne Lange and at one point the riders were thrown out of the local Safeway around 6 p.m. for bringing their mounts inside, the Steamboat Pilot, Steamboat Springs, reported Wednesday.
Police said Miller later got into a fight at the Old Town Pub, where Lange had brought her horse inside. Investigators said Miller pushed a man and tore off his shirt because the bar refused to return a beer Lange surrendered when she entered.
Miller and his friends were located about 30 minutes after the fight near some railroad tracks. Police said Miller refused repeated requests to dismount and he was stunned with a Taser.
Miller is charged with harassment, disorderly conduct, obstructing a police officer and resisting arrest. He was released after posting $750 bond.

Apache Design's Totem Software Adopted by Fujitsu Semiconductor for Power Noise and Reliability Analysis
ANSYS announced that Totem(TM) software from its subsidiary Apache Design, Inc. has been deployed by Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited to analyze and optimize all their custom integrated circuit (IC) designs. This includes analog, memory, high-speed I/O, PMIC (power management IC) and RF ICs that are used in wide variety of consumer, mobile and communications electronic products. As custom IC designs increase in complexity, engineers face the challenges of meeting stringent performance and reliability targets, especially at 28-nanometer (nm) and below manufacturing process nodes. Totem a complete power noise and reliability platform for analog/mixed-signal chip designs was selected by Fujitsu Semiconductor for its ability to handle large designs and analyze global noise coupling, which can impact chip performance and reliability. It was also chosen for its integration with existing analog design tool environments, a feature that offers improved productivity.
"Apache's Totem enables us to accurately model and simulate power/ground, substrate and package/PCB noise coupling at the full-chip level for advanced process technologies," said Masaru Ito, director of the technology development division, IP and technology development and manufacturing unit of Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited. "By using Totem, we can explore the impact of noise coupling on the circuit's performance and determine if critical layout changes are needed early in the design process, allowing us to increase productivity and lower the risk of re-spin."
"The successful adoption of our Totem platform demonstrates how designers can depend on Apache to deliver products that meet the needs of leading custom designs," said Dian Yang, general manager and senior vice president at Apache. "Totem enables designers to optimize for better performance, lower product cost, meet specifications, and help mitigate design risks."

I do see what your talking about. Never noticed it tell someone said something. The only chart I could find that goes back that far was BarChart. Here's the link...

If there is no commercial this month, then the company is a liar and I will take MDHI off my watch list. Thankfully, I haven't bought in yet. At least not until a commercial...then I'd have to go from there.
Just my 2 pennies, Gulley
Could anyone help me understand these two animals better, haha? I did some research, but maybe if someone could put it in perspective to someone who is a novice.
