What site is that from?
Last year they filed their 10-K on 04/07. They might not be taking recent events into consideration, but where the heck did they get the date 04/12/12 from? ATRN hasn't released any PR stating that they will release earnings on that date...hmm...maybe Fong called Yahoo directly, LOL.
Could be a false alarm. Guess we'll find out tomorrow. I doubt that there will be a lot of unhappy people though, since it seems we only found out about this the night before, LOL.
Yeah, I'm not getting my hopes up TOO high. It does make sense for them to release something though...even if it isn't a 10-K.
Things can get real ugly before they get better in pennyland, it seems. I was wondering how ugly this was going to get! Well, it could get even uglier if earnings are bad or not meeting expectations anyway. But I refuse to believe that a company with 40 mil. in revs is going to have a stock worth 8 cents forever. I still think that the patient longs will prevail here! Hopefully, tomorrow will be the start of something good.
I am also very relieved that ATRN isn't going to leave shareholders in the dark re: earnings. That concerned me a lot, almost to the point of picking up the phone and calling today, LOL.
ATRN earnings announcement tomorrow!!! This is according to Yahoo, link below, thanks to taiwan1.
Good call, taiwan1!

So, no 10-K, but at least we will finally know something?!?!
Yes,, it is possible, but that would mean that a few hundred individual investors would all need to call their brokerages and take physical control of the paper certificates and stuff between your mattress and box spring.
$WGAS chart:
Looks like the SMA (20) is working as quite the resistance for the past couple of weeks.
I haven't seen the amount of what I think was dilution for the past couple of days, so maybe they will let it come back up now. I haven't wanted to add any yet until I thought we were at bottom. Well, we have bounced off of .0221, .0231, and .0231 for the past 3 days in a row, so can you call that a triple bottom? I'm putting a bid in down close to there tomorrow to see if it gets hit. Keep in mind that this stock is going to have a hard time going up very quickly for a while, IMHO, because there will be sellers in the .04-.14 areas wanting to get their money back. I'll be honest...I got in this to make a quick buck, but upon doing some further DD, I really do think WGAS has a very capable management team that could propel this company towards great things! This is now a long-term hold for me.
Here's to hoping for some good news in the next few days and weeks!
Well, looks like Leslie Howard, aka George Sharp, has allegedly duped a lot of PSPF investors. Check out this from abuseoflaw site:
Based on information emailed to us on April 9, 2012, we are investigating the creation of the following sites:
PENNYSTOCKDAYTRADES.COM
DAYTRADINGPENNIES.COM
PENNYDAYTRADES.COM
and their recent ownership change from First Mircrocap Report, LLC to Market Broadcast, LLC. Strangely enough, the account used to set up all of these domains on February 20, 2012 was done by First Microcap Report LLC c/o Leslie Howard with an email address of pumpsanddumps@gmail.com. This is the same email address used for the pumpsanddumps.com website. That same day, after realizing the world could see the connection between the two, the ownership of all three newly formed sites was mysteriously changed from First Microcap report, LLC to Market Broadcast, LLC.
So far there is very little to find out about Market Broadcast LLC other than it is a newly formed (3-27-12) Nevada LLC and its members are not due to be announced until April 30, 2012. Strange that the conversion of ownership of the three above sites changed to this newly formed LLC before the LLC had ever been established. As we all know, this is a clear violation of ICANN rules. Also, on April 1, 2012 Market Broadcast, LLC publicly announced their intent to seek support from other shareholders of Power Sports Factory, Inc. (Read Full Announcement)

To add to all of this confusion, on March 22, 2012 Pumpsanddumps.com tweeted that everyone should be careful about getting involved with this new pump PSPF.
Click To Enlarge
He also sent out an email blast to his readers saying the same. These announcements sent the stock price plummeting until an anonymous investor stepped in and started buying at the low.
From March 20, 2012 and March 23, 2012 PSPF traded in a range of .002 to .011 on record volume of over 14 million shares. This information can be confirmed by on the links above or by going to www.bigcharts.com and doing a historical price/volume search. (its FREE)
Within hours it is appears that with the newly acquired shares of PSPF, George Sharp/Helischauer's alter ego Mr. Leslie Howard sent out an alert to buy PSPF. The stock skyrocketed and had record volume that day into the 23rd reaching a high of .011. According to the Leslie Howard disclosure he states that he owns 1,250,000 at .0051. Nice synthetic and manipulated return of 100%. Although this author is not expert, this activity clearly resembles front running and market manipulation. We have submitted our findings to the SEC and one can only hope that they stop this egregious activity from continuing.

A few days later, another Tweet was sent by pumpsanddumps.com but this time in what appears to be an attempt to contact the former CEO of PSPF Mr. Shawn Landgraf. The tweet requested that Mr. Landgraf contact George@clippercp.com. As we all know George Sharp/Helischauer/Leslie Howard uses this email address and Clipper CP is his former company Clipper Corporate Partners. (UPDATE: This is funny as hell, on 4/10, George takes down Tweet CLICK HERE)
If George is not affiliated with pumpsanddumps.com and firstmicrocapreport.com as he adamantly claims, then why is he sending tweets from the P&D Twitter account asking the CEO of a company being targeted to contact him at George@clippercp.com? Am I missing something? How can he explain this error? Is George going to claim he accidentally hacked into the P&D Twitter page? I think not! (UPDATE: This is funny as hell, on 4/10, George takes down Tweet CLICK HERE)
Another strange fact is that George Sharp/Helischauer/Leslie Howard sent out the press release on April 1st in an attempt to solicit shareholders of PSPF. For someone who proclaims to have such a brilliant legal mind, it is shocking that he would make such a clear violation of SEC proxy rules.
We are continuing our investigation and will report our findings as they happen. Again we want to say "Thank You".

I really hope that nobody gets hurt here too bad.
Does make me think that they're letting the PPS dwindle down to make a cheaper purchase price for a "friendly" company- is that even allowed?
Good question. They know as do we that if an offer of .03 per share comes that there will be lawsuits filed immediately, LOL. I think ATRN's share price is a unique situation in regards to buyouts. Just a few months ago, it was traded in dollars, not pennies, and if it was bought out last July it would have been for several dollars/share. I would think there has to be a fair valuation of the company based on assets and revenues, but I'm also quite sure that ATRN doesn't give a rat's a$$ about its shareholders either, so who knows what will happen.
I do think that good things will happen this year for ATRN shareholders though. It might get a little worse before it gets better. Still holding all of my shares!
Shares are just not to be found under .02...I have had orders in at the bid or even a couple of ticks above it for a week straight now, and can't get filled. Even when the pps dropped today, couldn't get filled at .018. I may try for .02 tomorrow...
I don't have L2, but when you check the trades here on iHub, it says that all trades except one today are sells...obviously that can't be right if at least 2 people here bought today.
I thought about adding, but I'm in deep enough already here. Could have sold last week and broke even, but I'm holding for better things. Besides, this may not be the bottom... .0054 is a new low for SMNG, and it could get uglier before it gets better.
Well, looks like I was right. Here's my post from earlier in the day:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=74195367
And then the email came in at 3:43pm from pennystockdaytrades.com for GEAR.
Wonder why the stock didn't perform well from this "promotion?" Well, for one thing, that is a new newsletter...and probably the only people signed up for it are Mr. Howard's followers (I received an email from that newsletter "confirming" my subscription, even though I never signed up...hmm...how did they get my email???). Since they've already bought the stock that is being promoted, it doesn't move! I think that Leslie saw the price of GEAR dropping and didn't like how his portfolio was looking, so he decided to try and get some money back out of it.
I am fairly certain that he runs pennystockdaytrades.com as well as pumpanddumps.com, not to mention his own newsletter. Quite a racket he has going on, don't you think? Kind of hard to defend him now.
I hope everyone in GEAR does well here. GEAR will have its day, but it won't be tomorrow. Tomorrow could get ugly.
007 Stock has been following GEAR for weeks and weeks, before Howard jumped on board. Just know that this "promotion" rumor that he's talking about is pure crap also. pennystockdaytrades.com is his site also. How's that for some success rates? If your pre-promotion pick doesn't get promoted by a p&d newsletter, just promote it with your own uncompensated pump website! That way your success rate at picking these stocks will be 100%, and you can suck in new, unwary subscribers to steal money from!
I used to follow him, which turned out to be a very costly move. I still get his emails, but don't buy into his "picks." Trust me, if you buy his picks waiting for a promotion, you will lose money.
Yeah, I know all about him, thanks.
If you think what he's doing is legal, then fine. I don't, and many agree with me. It's called securities fraud.
I'm going to end this conversation now by saying have a good day.
Hmm...well, first he frontloads a stock, then he issues a "pre-promotion" alert, which effectively turns into a little mini-promotion in itself. Then this brand new "pennystockdaytrades.com" pops up and starts promoting (uncompensated) Mr. Howard's picks. Can you guess who is getting rich from his "picks?" I'll give you a clue...it isn't you!
Exactly. Who promotes a stock at 3 in the afternoon??? Especially one that calls themselves "pennystockdaytrades," LOL.
If I'm right, and I think I am, he's got some seriously crooked shit going on.
Looks like EMLL took another nasty dump today. Thanks, EMLL!
Well, xzx is right, this could get uglier before it gets better...
Right now, a clear bottom hasn't been identified and we are definitely still in a downtrend. .022 is a lower low than Dec. 1st's low of .023. It could be dilution, but I don't know that for a fact. I do know I'd like to see a bottom soon, LOL! Maybe we can get an up-day or two, then maybe a double bottom setup. Actually, if we had bounced off of .0281-.0285, it would have been a triple bottom, but it kept going lower.
I'm going to wait and see to add or not. Good luck to all!
WGAS
Be very wary if the promoter is "pennystockdaytrades.com." Anybody else and it would be ok, but I think Mr. Howard is connected to that one. JMHO.
That one's been searching for a bottom for a while...wouldn't touch it at this point.
Waiting for a bottom here...almost added at .022, but wanted to see if it would go any lower. Technically it broke support, but it looks to be bouncing now.
Why do you say that it will never make a profit? Seems like they are at least heading in the right direction. Granted, the price of NG will have to rise in order for them to really become profitable...or they will actually have to find some oil in Colorado.
To call it a scam stock is disingenuous, I think. I mean, it is traded on the AMEX, is fully reporting, makes actual revenues, etc. Management has made some pitiful decisions recently, but I think the company has potential.
8-K out for DEAC 04/06/12:
I'll skip to the meat of it.
ITEM 8.01
OTHER EVENTS
On March 31, 2012, Dynamic Energy Development Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“DEDC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dynamic Energy Alliance Corporation, a Florida corporation (“DEAC”), entered into a non-binding Term Sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with R.F.B., LLC (“RFB”), pursuant to which RFB agreed to license and assign to DEDC a Non-Provisional Patent Application (the “Application”), for a confidential aggregate purchase price of shares of DEAC’s restricted common stock, contingent upon preparation and execution of a “Definitive Agreement” covering the transaction, and the completion of certain other closing conditions to be performed by both RFB and DEDC.
The "Definitive Agreement" is to be executed on or before April 30, 2012, with a subsequent date of closing (the "Closing Date"), to be mutually agreed to by RFB and DEDC.
Pursuant to the Term Sheet, RFB will assign and grant to DEDC, an exclusive, worldwide license and right in and to RFB’s catalyst(s) and reactor technology relating to the recovery of high value organics from the processing of scrap tires (the “RFB Technology”). RFB consents that DEDC may utilize the RFB Technology in (a) the development and manufacture of goods and products; and (b) the design, construction and modification of plants (new and existing). Further, RFB will allow DEDC to sell to third parties (i) goods and products produced by utilization of RFB Technology; and (ii) plants utilizing RFB Technology.
2
As additional consideration, RFB shall also receive a revenue share of the high-value organic compounds produced by DEDC and/or its assigns, utilizing the RFB catalysts(s) and reactor technology; and (b) a percentage of the net profits realized from the recovery of energy products recovered from oil sands or tar sands. The anticipated term of the license shall be the greater of (i) twenty five (25) years and (ii) twenty (20) years from the notice of allowance relative to the Application. The specific compensation terms of the license are based on trade secrets, that are considered confidential and therefore are not being released.
On April 9, 2012, DEAC plans to issue a press release announcing the execution of the Term Sheet. A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
This is just getting ugly. .30 is a weak support, then .28. Could go down to .25 again before going back up. Management is disappointing, both in how they handled the release of financials last week and production. I'm still holding, but need to see something positive soon.
It would help if we got some news from BISU. Until then, I don't see BISU going anywhere. I have been bidding in the .0155 - .018 range, and haven't been able to buy any stock in that range.
Not only did BISU have a golden cross, the MACD crossed also, the RSI is sitting right around 50, but BISU has also just hit a double bottom!
But yeah, technicals don't really mean anything if we don't get some news soon. Until then I will be trying to accumulate under .02.
I'm predicting .21 tomorrow. But I'd be happy with .19.
There she goes! Where she ends up, nobody knows, LOL.
Break of $1.45 should send this up in a hurry.
Needs a push over .173 to run hard.
I sold this morning for a 75% profit from my .0875 purchase a few days back...And just bought back in at .1665, LOL!
Damn...no bottom in sight still! I was waiting to see if it could hold support today at 1.37, but it just broke through to 1.34. This could get really ugly for KERX.
Good luck to all those that are in this one.
No news out today...is this being pumped or something? Why the uptick?
I'm going to try and keep this on topic by saying that first of all, I am not bashing SMNG. I am bashing Leslie Howard, if that is even his real name. Yes, I've made some money on a few of his picks, and lost money on about the same number. The light came on for me yesterday when I did some more digging into this whole thing. A lot more is going to come to light in the next few weeks and months, and then everyone will understand.
Good luck to you!
I didn't receive the promo either, because I never responded to the initial email telling me to confirm my subscription (which I never did apply for).
There's a whole lot more to this Leslie Howard scam than meets the eye...something tells me that the FBI and SEC will be hot on his heels, if they aren't already, very soon.
I've never even heard of that newsletter before a few days ago. I never signed up for it, but saw an email from "Max Molson" telling me to confirm my subscription, even though I never gave them my email. I did notice that in the disclaimer that it mentions "Market Broadcast, LLC," so I would guess that they are one and the same entity. That in itself is curious, and I see what is going on now...
pennystockdaytrades.com is a brand new "newsletter," and just happened to promote (with no compensation) two of Leslie Howard's picks (BFHJ and SMNG) right after he alerted them. Coincidence? Anyone wonder why there wasn't more action today? Why would a "day trade" newsletter, which openly says on its website, "Treat 'em like your dry cleaning: In by 10:00am, Out by 4:00pm," alert a stock at 3:00 the afternoon before? I think that the only people signed up for that newsletter are the exact same people that are signed up for Leslie Howard's newsletter! How else would pennystockdaytrades.com get my email???
Something is REALLY starting to stink with Mr. Howard. I for one will not ever buy a stock that he is recommending anymore. I am going to follow him very closely though, documenting what I think is going on...
