The Mundus Website http://www.mundusgroupinc.com/ has been updated as of July 17, 2009 under "Company Information" to show the present share structure and current information regarding latest company status. It reports that there are 50.6 mil outstanding and 15.6 mil float so most shares are tightly held. I've requested that our MOD update the IBox, but no response to date.

Aloha Dom - welcome back in & glad to hear from you again. Your timing should be excellent based on the recent NR.

My account with Etrade was updated today. I would hope to see news soon. No trading so far as most existing shareholders are waiting for their shares to convert over.

Agreed SunriseW - AirStar has done business for 25 years on mostly "word of mouth" type advertising. Once all the info gets out and Mundus get's the ball rolling, they should have a lot more exposure to the various markets that would consider specialized uses for their products. The company has a lot going for it, just need a better awareness campaign to get the word out because the present one doesn't seem to be working.

Sea_green - There are some posters on this board that have their own agenda. Magnum has breakthrough technology and their latest NR indicates that major developments will be announced shortly. The company has just unveiled its new corporate website portal http://magnumresources.net/ .
As stated in the NR, "the reason why our clients will prefer to use Magnum/SRI compounds is because they will be able to enjoy a substantial and meaningful reduction in raw material cost without compromising product performance and quality. In the competitive environment of rubber product manufacturing this is a major development having a direct impact on our customer's bottom line."
Makamai
If the R/M increased company assets and revenues and decreased debt then we should expect a rise in the share price. Time will tell.
Looks like the reverse split has taken effect - bid $.05, no ask, no volume and no news as far as I can tell. Anyone hearing anything positive?
Makamai
Chichi - lets hope they enforce it effectively and I think 3 days to cover is too long.
Makamai
Yes - very colorful as well - however the main point that would excite investors would be knowing that the financial impact of AirStar hasn't been revealed yet to the market and that piece of valuable info is missing.

SEC rule on 'naked' short-selling now permanent
SEC makes emergency rule targeting 'naked' short-selling permanent
By Marcy Gordon, AP Business Writer
On Monday July 27, 2009, 8:03 pm EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Federal regulators on Monday made permanent an emergency rule put in at the height of last fall's market turmoil that aims to reduce abusive short-selling.
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it took the action on the rule targeting so-called "naked" short-selling, which was due to expire Friday.
Short-sellers bet against a stock. They generally borrow a company's shares, sell them, and then buy them when the stock falls and return them to the lender -- pocketing the difference in price.
"Naked" short-selling occurs when sellers don't even borrow the shares before selling them, and then look to cover positions sometime after the sale.
The SEC rule includes a requirement that brokers must promptly buy or borrow securities to deliver on a short sale.
Brokers acting for short sellers must find a party believed to be able to deliver the shares within three days after the short-sale trade. If the shares aren't delivered within that time, there is deemed to be a "failure to deliver." Brokers can be subject to penalties if the failure to deliver isn't resolved by the start of trading on the following day.
At the same time, the SEC has been considering several new approaches to reining in rushes of regular short-selling that also can cause dramatic plunges in stock prices.
Investors and lawmakers have been clamoring for the SEC to put new brakes on trading moves they say worsened the market's downturn starting last fall. SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro has said she is making the issue a priority.
Some securities industry officials, however, have maintained that the SEC's emergency order on "naked" short-selling brought unintended negative consequences, such as wilder price swings and turbulence in the market.
The five SEC commissioners voted in April to put forward for public comment five alternative short-selling plans. One option is restoring a Depression-era rule that prohibits short sellers from making their trades until a stock ticks at least one penny above its previous trading price. The goal of the so-called uptick rule is to prevent selling sprees that feed upon themselves -- actions that battered the stocks of banks and other companies over the last year.
Another approach would ban short-selling for the rest of the trading session in a stock that declines by 10 percent or more.
Schapiro said last week the SEC could decide on a final course of action in "the next several weeks or several months."
Sen. Ted Kaufman, a Democrat from Delaware and one of a bipartisan group of seven senators who have been pushing the SEC to rein in short-selling overall or face legislative action, said Monday that "investors need to see concrete steps."
"Instead of proposing action today to deal with the problem, the SEC apparently is content to let potential solutions sit on the shelf for another two months," Kaufman said in a statement. "... If the market were to decline precipitously again and the banks propped up by taxpayer funds were to become vulnerable again, that is not an insignificant risk."
In addition to making the "naked" short-selling rule permanent, the SEC and its staff are working with major stock exchanges to make data on short-sale transactions and volumes publicly available through the exchanges' Web sites, the SEC announcement said. It will result in "a substantial increase" over the amount of information currently required, the agency said.
"Today's actions demonstrate the (SEC's) determination to address short-selling abuses while at the same time increasing public disclosure of short-selling activities that affect our markets," Schapiro said in a statement.
The SEC also said it will hold a public hearing on Sept. 30 to address stock lending for short-selling and possible new disclosures related to short-selling that could be required.
Separately Monday, Sen. Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat and a member of the Senate Banking Committee, said he has asked Schapiro to ban the practice of so-called "flash trading," which enables some big Wall Street banks and hedge funds to get an advance look at investors' stock orders before they hit the market.
The use of super-fast computers by those participants to spy on orders gives them an unfair advantage, Schumer wrote in a letter Schapiro. If the SEC fails to act, Schumer said he would consider proposing legislation to ban flash trading.
"This kind of unfair access seriously compromises the integrity of our markets and creates a two-tiered system where a privileged group of insiders receive preferential treatment, depriving others of a fair price for their transactions," Schumer told Schapiro.
The FBI news is great news, however there are no figures representing pontential income and what the cost would be for just one of the craft they are considering. When they start letting us know about contracts and the new company net worth as a result of the AirStar acquisition, that's when the market will stand up and take notice IMHO. For now, as long as we slowly climb north it's ok by me.

Slower out of the gate than I would have expected but still lookin good.
Aloha Rocketman - CC was refering to Friday's Conference Call.
Here is the number to listen to the recording:
(712) 432-0211 Then dial in the "Access code": 775741#
Makamai
Not sure, but I know one investor who has a bid in for 35K at the open with a limit of $.12 (it closed at $.09 Friday).
This should be an interesting week. You know there is an FBI office in all major cities - I wonder just how many VTOL UAV's the FBI is considering? In addition, we still don't know the impact asset and revenue wise, of the AirStar purchase on the Mundus bottom line. Hopefully they will begin feeding that info to us this week.
Makamai
I received this stock price analysis in an e-mail from Emerging Stocks today: From the CC. there is a 1 out of 3 chance to get a "hit" with 3-5 products ($20 to $70 mil for a sales hit a billion for a home run). So we'll take very conservative numbers that would yeild a high probability end result - lets say there is 20M in sales, using 50% margin and a 2:1 trading ratio for a P/E of 2 (most companies are well above 3-4), gives us an evaluation of about $1.00. Conservative, yes- but that's how we play the game. Your numbers will likely be much more aggressive, but these are the numbers we are comfortable with and what we have based our 400-500% expectations on.
I certainly can live with that - anyone else grind out any guesstimets after the CC?

MAJOR NEWS: Los Angeles, CA, July 27, 2009 – Mundus Group, Inc. Announces AirStar and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have completed initial feasibility tests. Further tests are being conducted prior to pending procurement.
The Mundus Group, Inc. (MNDP PK) today announced that AirStar and the FBI have entered the final stages of feasibility and performance tests of its state of the art Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) UAV unmanned air vehicles (UAVs).
Josef Obermeier, President of the company, commented, “The FBI has expressed keen interest in AirStar’s aerial surveillance capabilities. AirStar will be building its professional and government agency surveillance UAVs through its dedicated surveillance division, Air Intel Systems”.
With Air Intel System’s advanced infrared optics and surveillance, police, border patrol, and/or port authorities can observe, automatically monitor and track individuals and/or moving vehicles while sending pin-point accurate GPS coordinates and real time high definition video images to enforcement agencies without leaving their desks.
No other aerospace UAV company in the world has a higher profile in cutting edge real world surveillance applications. Providing stealth operation from sea level to 7,500 feet altitude while running on ethanol with zero emissions, AirStar’s UAV’s run for two to four hours of autonomous flight and vehicle tracking, automatically returning to base with preprogrammed instructions for refueling before resuming aerial observation and surveillance duty or other instructions. AirStar has pioneered aerial surveillance with government agencies in Brazil, Japan, and the U.S. for applications from ecosphere and environmental protection to surveillance over tourist attractions and downtown intersections.
AirStar has been a close ally since 2002 when it was an integral part of the Mundus division, Roadable Aircraft Inc team which co-developed and built the first UAV VTOL prototype (Unmanned Air Vehicle Vertical Take off & Landing) under RAI’s 3 year Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with US NAVY at Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division Pt. Mugu, California.
MNDP chart just breaking above the upper bollie which has formed a tight pinch. Also bullish are the MACD, RSI and Full STO which are all trending up. Major news and promo to come out on Monday after multi-million dollar acquisition of AirStar International. Check out http://www.signaturestocks.com/creatives/MNDP072709.html It's dated Monday, July 27th and has a caption at the top that reads "Mundus Group Releases Huge News which may spark a big rally today." They haven't released any financials to date on the acquisition so stock price is based on pre-acquisition data.
Makamai
I missed the CC as well, but just finished listening to the recording. Looks like TSHO is in a highly profitable business arena, with 75 to 90% product mark-ups. A home run will get you a billion dollars in sales. Not too shabby. Looks like the On TV type advertising actually has sales increase in recession-airy times, so seems like the business to be in and the stock to own right now.
Makamai
MNDP will have a major news release Monday. Check out http://www.signaturestocks.com/creatives/MNDP072709.html It's dated Monday, July 27th and has a caption at the top that reads "Mundus Group Releases Huge News which may spark a big rally today." There is a blank space midway down for the NR with a caption above it saying "before the markets open Monday July 27, 2009." and above that "Major Breaking News Just Released", So it definitely looks like there will be some news and a promo starting on Monday. Stock Source already initiated coverage on Thursday. http://www.stocksource.us/

This is why you should buy MNDP - Mundus Group:
Until a week ago, they have basically been a holding company or a shell company with no revenue and only about 400K in assets and have a low float (see “A” below). On July 15, 2009 they acquired AirStar International, a debt free multi-million dollar company that makes those drones used for surveillance by the military. AirStar International has been the world leader in Unmanned Air Vehicles and Remote Controlled Vertical Take off and Landing technology for the past 20 years. Until they were purchased by Mundus Group, AirStar International was a private company and Mundus hasn't disclosed their net worth or the revenue of AirStar prior to its’ purchase (but it’s huge), so the stock is still selling at pre-acquisition price, closing at $.09 today up from $.07. (See the chart at the bottom) They are planning an investor awareness campaign soon, and from the amount of shares traded today, that campaign looks like it could start as early as Monday next week. More info follows:
A. The company did a 100 to 1 reverse split in Oct 2008 and as of last Friday, July 17, they have about 50 Mil outstanding shares and only about 15 Mil on the float. http://www.mundusgroupinc.com/companyinfoframe.htm Insiders hold the majority of the outstanding shares and aren't about to part with them yet. That's why their stock isn't sub pennys because of the low float & outstanding shares. Their website is http://www.mundusgroupinc.com
B. They have indicated they will be making additional acquisitions, in an NR that came out July 23, 2009. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Mundus-Group-Inc-Announced-it-prnews-223105363.html?x=0&.v=1
C. Here is some info on AirStar:
1.) The AirStar product has lots of applications such as Homeland Security, Military surveillance, medical, Movies, etc. AirStar has an excellent reputation and the CEO is highly respected. If you look at their website, http://www.airstarintl.com/Cameraship.htm they have turbine powered helicopters that can carry 60 pounds for up to 2hrs equipped with surveillance/infrareds
2.) http://www.satnews.com/cgi-bin/story.cgi?number=1101156493
3.) http://runryder.com/helicopter/t473716p1/ (This is a blog where an AirStar employee provides info on the company and it's goals, and others respond. Quite interesting.)

Los Angeles, CA, July 15, 2009 – Mundus Group, Inc announces the acquisition of AirStar International as a fully owned subsidiary. The completion of its highly regarded acquisition will allow Mundus Group to expand AirStar with new divisions in lucrative niche markets. It is expected that these new divisions will provide several new revenue streams from anticipated business, which AirStar International has previously developed and flourished among the UAV VTOL elite by word of mouth for over 25 years.
Josef Obermeier, President of the company, commented, “We are focusing several new divisions that will increase revenue streams and provide market driven sales and services in distinct and unique business areas without competition. AirStar is currently in negotiations with US Federal agencies undergoing feasibility tests for a major order, which would have taken all of AirStar’s resources to fulfill. Mundus Group as parent company is heading for the robust Frankfurt Exchange and expects funding to provide expansion with a dedicated Aerial Surveillance division business, Air Intel Systems with other divisions to be announced weekly.
AirStar International has defined lucrative niche markets in UAV VTOL services and sales and Mundus Group is committed to this departmental expansion necessary to fulfill AirStar pending government contracts.
History
The relationship began almost eight years ago with Mundus subsidiary, Roadable Aircraft Inc. (RAI) contracting AirStar’s Josef Jobstol as a UAV technical consultant during a three year Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the US NAVY and RAI at Point Mugu Naval Base between 2001 and 2004. Mr. Jobstol helped build the NAVY co-developed UAV and was instrumental in the further development of a full cyclic flight control system within a ducted fan that successfully flew under tethered flight tests. AirStar has been an ally and a strategic partner ever since.
2004 RAI was awarded a US Patent for a VTOL ducted fan Flying Car. That became the evolutionary next step towards Roadable Aircraft's VTOL Flying Car development with 3 prototypes since 1990 and a Best Invention of the Year award at the Discovery Channel Invention Convention in 1993.

QASP Chart - A hammer formed today which is bullish and often means a change of direction to the plus side as the stock closed at the high of the day, after bouncing off support at $.16.
Makamai
MNDP CHART- Well finally at the EOD, the 07's were bought out and the ask jumped to 09. The bollinger bands are pinching nicely and the close just broke above the upper bollinger band indicating possible break out. Also bullish are the MACD, RSI and Full STO which are all trending up.
Makamai
The MMs are definitely driving it down, possibly to load up anticipating a run in the near future. Just creates a great buying opportunity IMHO.
Well IMHO, the bottom bollie is changing rather fast at the moment which is why I chose the recent bottom as the next point of support.
I'll be buying all the way down to their if it goes that low.
Makamai
QASP Chart - There is support at $.0185 level, however if that support level is broken, the next level of support is at the $.013 low established 2 weeks ago.
Makamai
I checked the filings, and the IBox seems up to date. The company's second quarter ending June 30 won't be filed most likely until late August.
Makamai
You can tell the MMs are messing with the stock when you see a buy for 313,000 go through at $.019 on the ask, and then the ask drops to $.0185....Happened to me as well, the ask was $.02 and while I was waiting for my limit order at the ask to go through, the ask dropped to $.0195 and I got my shares at that price. Go figure...
Makamai
It's been my experience, that although the news indicates something is happening in the future, until it does, and there is accounting to back it up, the market won't really accept it as fact. Once the aquisition is complete, and the company posts financials documenting their new net worth, we'll continue to see this sort of trading. So it's a no brainer to buy at these levels and average down, knowing that there will be a large increase in the near future in the company's assets and revenues. Our day will come and come in a big way - IMHO of course.
Makamai
I've been trying to get a response out of our MOD (Goose44)on that subject, but to no avail. Hopefully you’ll have more luck.
Makamai
When she pops, she should really POP!
I've been buying at these levels - seems like a no brainer to me.
Makamai
QASP Chart - MACD is still trending up. The MMs are certainly having fun playing with this one and trying to keep the lid on it. Fine as far as I'm concerned - more cheap shares to buy prior to the aquisitions completing by Aug 14.
Makamai
MNDP Chart - It looks like the RSI and Full STO have now turned positive, so expect the stock price to start rising again. At EOD, there were about 90K shares bought on the ask, so possible news soon.
MDOR Chart - The stock has started to slowly rebound in this latest consolidation period. Both the Full STO, RSI and MACD have turned positive. Any news of substance should give it a major boost.
Well, the MMs are putting up a good fight, but in the meantime, I've managed to snagg 50K of QASP at $.025 today while they bounce the ask between .025 & .030. This seems like a no brainer, considering the fact that the company will be suddenly worth millions from nothing come the middle of August. I would expect that when the financials are published after the aquisition is completed, the stock should gap to a new level more consistent with the new worth of the company. Has that been your experience with aquisitions in the past?
Makamai
I saw your chart on QASP on Charts are Cool board - finally jumped in at the open today and glad I did. When the aquisitions are on the books and financials are published, that stock should gap considerably wouldn't you say?
Makamai
Yep there it went - a whopping $60 trade for 2k
