Yes it is. Know a couple engineers that have yet to pass it but they keep trying. It's about to get even harder with the '3-strikes' rule that most states are starting to adopt.
Most definitely. Jenkins has been in this business and reporting for about 30 years. There have been many reports filed with his cert# on them over the years. The audacity to think that he is not who he claims after all of the work he has done for so many years just astounds me. Does anyone really believe that he has "slipped by" the prying eyes of many states and the SEC for that long? Maybe he has been "underground"!
I don't need to ask anyone. I have first hand knowledge.
This should help. The first 4 steps are for becoming a registered Professional Engineer. That is not the only way to "be" and do work as or to be titled as an engineer.
In the United States, registration or licensure of professional engineers is performed by the individual states. Each registration or license is valid only in the state where it is granted. Many professional engineers maintain licenses in several states for this reason, and comity between states can make it easy to obtain a license in one state based on license in another state without going through the full application process.[4] The licensing procedure varies but the general process is:[5]
1. Graduate with a degree from an Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology accredited four-year university program in engineering. Ex. BS (Engg)/BSE/MS (Engg)/MSE Degree approved by ABET
2. Complete a standard Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) written examination, which tests applicants on breadth of understanding of basic engineering principles, and optionally some elements of an engineering specialty. Completion of the first two steps typically qualifies for certification in the U.S. as an Engineer-In-Training (EIT), sometimes also called an Engineer Intern (EI).[6]
3. Accumulate a certain amount of engineering experience. In most states the requirement is four years, but in others the requirement is lower.
4. Complete a written Principles and Practice in Engineering ('PE') examination, testing the applicant's knowledge and skills in a chosen engineering discipline (civil, electrical, industrial, mechanical, etc.), as well as engineering ethics.
For standardization, the FE and PE exams are written and graded by a central organization, NCEES. However each state's Board of Professional Engineers individually sets the requirements to take the tests, as well as the passing scores. For example, in some states applicants must provide professional references from several PEs before they can take the PE test.
All 50 states and the District of Columbia have engineering boards that are represented by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES), which administers both the FE and PE examinations.[7]
Degree requirements in the United States are evolving. Effective 1 January 2020, the NCEES model will require additional credits beyond a bachelor of science in engineering. The type of creditable activities that will satisfy the additional educational requirement are under development by NCEES. This has received some support from civil engineers.[8][9]
There is a fairly large range in exam pass rates for these exams (FE and PE), but the pass rate for repeat test takers is significantly lower.[10]
As of 2009, it is still possible for an individual to bypass Steps 2 and 4. In Texas, for example, both FE and PE exam waivers are still available to individuals with several years of creditable experience.
Not a violation at all. That is not how any engineering field works. On the whole, very few engineers are registered or professional (PE) yet they can still perform and do work as engineers. Where the law requires, the work by non-registered engineers must be backed by a registered engineer. In fact, I know quite a few Professional Engineers (that I have used in the past) that are now retired but keep up their registration just so they can sign off on other non-registered engineers work. They make quite a nice living putting their seal on others work... after review and approval of course.
Stoddard made no claim that he was registered and he can use whatever title he wishes. I do not have much knowledge of Stoddard but I'm assuming his title is his degree and profession. As long as there is (was) a registered engineer (Jenkins) to sign off on the work, the work by Stoddard is validated. At the time that report was made, Jenkins was fully registered. Additionally, the validation of any work done by and signed off on by a registered or professional engineer never expires. So, the report is still valid even if Jenkins is no longer registered.
I agree! Great plan!
That is for each investor to decide. The fact is, a complaint (if one was even made) is just a complaint. It means nothing, has no merit in and of itself and anyone can file one on any stock for any reason.
If there is an accusation against Jenkins, this is what will happen...
The AZBTR will check his CPG registration and see that he was registered when reports were created. They will check his ME registration and find that valid as well. Case closed.
What ever complaint that may be made about Jenkins will be thrown out as a frivolous pursuit.
What Jenkins does after that probably won't be so simple or as quickly dismissed.
I for one hope that there IS a case opened in this regard. It will put to rest all of the unwarranted and baseless accusations against him.
And if the Azurite report is accurate and production begins 3-4 months from funding, what should the investors do?
It will actually be more pointed and direct to certain individuals. Defaming ones profession (livelihood) in a public forum is considered slander. Ihub is not as anonymous as one might think.
Agreed!!
Don't make this personal and stay on the topic of GDSM. Repeated personal attacks and off topic posts are likely to get you banned or worse.
It is up to each individual to do your own DD and determine the validity of claims that are made. Remember, anything can be said on these boards as long as it doesn't violate the Ihub TOS.
Know what you own and don't get baited into an argument.
Please feel free to PM me with any questions or concerns.
As we all expected. Thanks for sharing that.
LOL I don't care either way. If the e-mail is legitimate, it is a non-issue and a big waste of time for the AZBTR. Jenkins is in the right but the deformation of his character is not. He is not happy about it and WILL take action.
Fake walls and ask beinig undercut. Shouldn't take much to end the games.

True in every market. Experienced both of those scenarios and missed out on over a million $ for selling too early. Expensive lesson to learn and it won't ever happen again!
Yes it is but that is the stigma of the pinksheet market that we have to deal with for now. It won't be that way for long though.
The Company continues to interview for a legal and accounting team to audit the Company’s books and records. The goal is to make Gold Coast a fully-reporting company and move to the OTC Bulletin Board Listing Teir. This move is important for the Company as its mining activities progress. The ability to access capital for additioanl projects will not only increase substantially, it will be cheaper to the Company and its shareholders.
Agreed! Extremely undervalued here. Loading up before production begins is a no brainer.
Obviously being held down. 0.0036 getting hit and the ask is undercut to 0.0034.
Agreed. Documentation goes a lot further to validate a claim over hearsay.
0.004 is slightly undervalued doesn't it?
I keep seeing "0.035" thrown around as a target PPS valuation. What is that number based on?
The proper term is Uplist.
Agreed. GDSM is all over the hot lists on Ihub. Nice to see that large 'GDSM' in green on the buzz cloud. Also a "BUY confirmed" on americanbulls.com

Next week could be very interesting for us.
Great day today. Especially for a Friday. Have a great weekend!

Being global locked or "chilled" by the DTCC is nothing to take lightly. Here is a link to a post on the DTCC discussion board with a list of chilled stocks as of 6/25/12 which includes SIRG.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=76927884
The majority of chilled stocks on that list are now under a further restriction "Suspension of all Services ex CS" and many are now trading in the 0.000s and some even delisted.
As of March 31, 2012 they owed over $1 Million in notes both past due (incurring interest) and current with more on the way. At current price ($0.005) and applying the discounted share agreement (42%), it would take almost 500 Million shares to cover.
That is more shares than their entire A/S (450 Mil.) which explains why they attempted the A/S increase to 1.5 Billion in Q1 of this year. If they succeed in increasing the A/S and issue 500 Million shares to cover those notes, that would devastate the PPS.
Watch the upcoming filings closely on this one.
Which direction is this going to go? Chill going to be lifted or trading halted?

Increased volume activity. Looks like accumulation for another possible run.
Hey Homey! Welcome back!
It's did!
There are two types of promotion... compensated and non-compensated. Each have significant meaning for a company and their stock.
Compensated promotions are paid by either the company or a 3rd party in either cash, stock or both. Paid promotions aren't necessarily a red flag but typically do lead to dilution (sometimes massive) which never looks good for a company. The best play on these is get in as early as possible, don't get greedy and pay close attention to (no less than) a 60 minute chart for an exit. Millions of dollars can be made in these promotions but they are very dangerous to play for the novice trader.
Non-compensated promotions are more frequent, usually less effective in increasing the PPS but do provide free exposure to a company typically bringing higher liquidity to the stock. As the name suggests, the promoter is not paid in any way but often will buy shares on the open market before the promotion and sell at some point during the run. This is not a reflection on the company as they are not involved in the promotion but are sometimes still blamed for a "pump and dump" by those who got left "holding the bag" after the run. If a non-paid promoter picks up a stock, it usually means that they see a high degree of potential for increase in the PPS and buy shares accordingly.
Additionally, it is required by law (Securities Act of 1933, Section 17(b)) to disclose any type of compensation received for promoting a stock.

As you will note, GDSM has never run a compensated promotion.
There is lots of money to be made by investors in both of these if they know what they are doing.
Yep. Same games as always.
Sitting the weekly SMA(50) at 0.0046 for support right now.
SIRG dumped another 25 million shares? Was that from their latest Asher note due?
I'm under the impression that the Azurite could outpace the Goldstar and would be producing first. Things could get very interesting around here very fast. I would hate to be caught chasing or caught short with this breaks out.
Agreed. Thin going up and bid following up nicely. Looks like a bit of interest is starting to come.
Yep. The second leg is always more fun.
