I did click one and order a camera with my free Yahoo points because it was priced wrong. 12 weeks later, they refunded my points, never got the camera or an apology.
Spencer, I am anxiously awaiting the replies to your post. Welcome to The Golden Lists.

Sold my ZVUE (too soon probably) but they seem to be in a big hurry to build up their page view numbers, and frankly I'm not sure these page views are worth much. Don't know anyone that doesn't have a pop-up blocker; can't remember the last time I clicked an ad.
Fun sites though. Be interesting to see the next quarterly report.

Zeev, Have you looked at HOKU deal for polysilicon or the REFR film technology? Anything unique here?
Here's the Ledbed pump I bought.
SGN Signalife Inc.
AMEX: SGN
Current Price: $2.08
Shares Outstanding: 41.84MM
Float: 14.58MM
Market Cap: $87.02MM
>>>
SGN is a medical device company that is creating the next-generation of heart monitoring technology. SGN is focused on the detection of cardiovascular disease through continuous ECG monitoring.
Many heart abnormalities only manifest when a patient is active or exercising. But, until now, monitoring an active cardiac patient has been difficult because even the smallest body movements distort ECG signals.
SGN's unique patented technology reduces distortions, allowing physicians and cardiologists to monitor ECG signals from a patient in his or her everyday environment, solving a major cardiac care problem and giving researchers access to new and relevant clinical data.
SGN's technology was developed by their CTO Dr. Drakulic, in the early 1990's at UCLA. He originally developed it to record brain wave signals from a fighter jet pilot in a very harsh and noisy environment to objectively measure pilot performance.
SGN was able to use this technology to develop the Fidelity 100 which has the improved ability to accurately diagnose and treat cardiac disease and could potentially save hundreds of thousands of lives annually and result in billions of dollars in cost savings.
The ECG tests that are widely used today are only accurate when the patient is resting. When a doctor has the patient run on a treadmill, which is known as a stress test, there is a tremendous amount of noise and artifact. The doctor must eliminate the noise and artifact by averaging the clear signals together. This means that the stress test is very inaccurate and misses most heart problems.
How is it that President Bill Clinton, who has the best doctors in the world, was always given thorough medical exams each year with every test imaginable... and found to be completely healthy... until one day he had chest pains and needed to get immediate quadruple bypass surgery?
His arteries did not get clogged overnight. He is lucky he didn't have a massive heart attack and die. If he used SGN's Fidelity 100, it is very possible his heart problems would've been detected years earlier.
To see how SGN's Fidelity 100 works, SGN recently did a demonstration at the American Heart Association conference with Chicago Bears Super Bowl Champion and Athletes for Life Founder Willie Gault. Everybody at the conference was astonished. He was sprinting on the treadmill and there were absolutely no noise or distortions on the monitor. You can watch this demonstration by going to: http://www.signalife.com/Pages/videoWMV-AHA06.html
SGN's Fidelity 100 is ready to go to the market right now. Last week SGN procured a $10 million credit facility to bring the product to the market and they also terminated Rubbermaid as their distribution partner. SGN's CEO said in the press release that: "Signalife is actively selling our Fidelity 100 heart monitors, and will continue to ramp up our sales efforts, including establishing relationships both internally and externally with sales and distribution partners."
This leads me to believe that SGN might be about to announce a new distribution partner to replace Rubbermaid. Possible candidates that I see as having interest are Boston Scientific, GE, Medtronic along with others.
I told you before that SGN's technology was originally developed to record brain wave signals from fighter jet pilots. Being in a fighter jet is probably the harshest and noisiest environment possible. The only thing that comes close is a race car driver racing at speeds in excess of 200 mph.
Well, SGN was recently featured on NBC's Today show and their technology was used to monitor the cardiac signals of a race car driver. SGN's technology was called a "Modern Medical Miracle". To watch this video go to: http://www.signalife.com/Pages/videoWMV-TodayShow06.html
SGN recently announced that they completed their state-of-the-art Credit Card Personal Event Monitor. It will be called the "Signalife Heart Card".
SGN's Signalife Heart Card is about the size of a credit card and is a micro-engineered version of their Fidelity 100.
You keep it in your pocket and when you feel any kind of a heart palpitation or chest pain, you hold the device up to the center of your chest. It monitors your cardiac signal and lets you know if you have a serious heart problem and should seek medical attention or if you have nothing to worry about.
SGN anticipates relatively quick regulatory approval and plans to begin selling this device over-the-counter in drug stores in the third-quarter of this year.
I am sure that all of you have some kind of a heart palpitation or chest pain once in a while that concerns you. This device will be a must have for everybody with heart problems or with a family history of heart problems.
SGN has a deal signed with Gold's Gym. SGN will be opening up Signalife Cardio Gyms inside of Gold's Gym locations. Gold's Gym members will pay a fee to access the Signalife Cardio Gym. They can then use SGN's Fidelity 100 and run on a treadmill to test their cardiac health.
I have a feeling that Gold's Gym will be making a huge deal about this because it will put them on a whole new level compared to other gym companies. They will show that they care about their members' health.
All my pennies getting whacked today. CTEX, ILGY, SLWF, are we having a Valentines Day sale or something?
Thanks, SGN sounded pretty good, with a credit card size portable ekg monitor; every trader should have one.

CTTD was also a Ledbed pump just last week. Geez I just bought another one SGN... pray for me.
Smoke
I bought some for old time sake, last sell was $5+; hard to get excited about anything up there no matter how many millions of bbls they have in the ground with the entrenched poly-ticks-ians.
Tuna, remember SOIGF the oil sands play from Crossy's thread? Its half price, mkt cap down to 50m.
Smoke
BIDU its tough to make a long buck here of late, broke 50ma but a scary ss IMO.
Thanks David ,me and the stopped clock, but your (our) NTRI is threatening to blow up too soon, I need it to cool off so I can bank those Feb 45 call premiums.
EDVMF my Canadian pm fund is closely tied with GROW on some deals and its also flying high today so far $7.38 bid from a $6.66 close.
Grow is growing, wasn't kidding about $59R.
CTEX anyone? Brook thru .01 yesterday. Some pretty crafty old-timers on board.

SLWF, How does this one look?
http://www.slwf.net/main-site/attention_bar_links/S-XGen-Overview.html
Good Luck with GROW tuna, it looks like the bulls are back. $59 is the next big R I think.
Ref RMBS, anyone care to guess what new will do for earnings?
ss rmbs,Thats was a nice one Mars
Thanks Freto, I think those early pops are coming from offshore.
Just a WAG
SG ILGY bidding .004 again. Lottery stock.
David, that 50 day average working well for cbli. What else you like here?
Freto, ref ILGY, I think the dilution already has killed it but then it seems to be bottoming here. Doesn't take much to shoot it out of the .0024 area. If we take the CEO's statement at face value (60 mil bbls reserve at $30/bbl should add 180mil ($1) to shares value) he may be telling us the 0/s is 180 mil and the present mkt cap is about $500K.
Anyway I'm in there but I'm not looking at hummers yet.

Zeev, that RIMM is one gentleman of a stock. Classy watching it fight for 125 recently and hold it, now 129 looks like a buy.
Smoke
Your isrg ain't bad either. I'm begiing to like NTRI for the longer haul, sold some Feb 45's at $1.85...the shorts are bidding $5 for the sept 50's
Not all steels, X pulled up to the pump and then the Dow turn +.
I don't remember why I started thinking short x, i'd be 12-14 pts ahead...just being dumb and long last two weeks.
PPMD looks pretty good.
NTRI maybe bounce here, if it runs up into 9.30 could have a decent day for a change. Bought some at $3 discount to my last sale which was a $10 discount to my 57.99 SL.
Buckey, ILGY. If we take the CEOs statement at face value, he may be saying 30 mil barrels at 60 is worth 180mil or $1/share in other words there are 180mil shares o/s now.
I know LOL.
Smoke
MM, Could you explain how a reevaluation of the Yaun should play out for American adrs? Or maybe FXI?
NTRI looking better now. X $82! Its where they put the pump.
I resemble that remark. Won a few more bananas today.
I know he's been cold as ice lately but I am jealous of his disclaimers... $25 K here; 200,000 shares there... it adds up. They keep hiring him.
Smoke
Anyone buy Ledbed's newest baby, CTTD? This one actually spiked hard today .85 opened $1 and closed at $1.65. Interesting new global warming company which is exactly what USEI products are designed to help solve. Big conference at UN this Friday according to LB's pr so stay tuned.

Smoke
Think NTRI is spooking the fearless ones. But what was not to like about their report I can't figure. I had a pretty good day anyway but with nothing even close to a turnip.
Smoke
Paul hope you score your 18 bid. I was getting warm thoughts seeing it at $14 early, but didn't pull the trigger and sorry I didn't.
Smoke
Isn't 5 white (green) soldiers suppose to be something to crow about?
Smoke
I'm holding for .17 maybe more as I can't think of any more timely industry than this and they have patents etc.
Smoke
But then you can probably trade rings around me.
Stuffit, thanks but i'm just another bagholder, did double up at .075. First time in it ran from .17 to .26 then died slowly all the way back, then the CEO hints in a footnote to a pr he was considering a r/s.
That cut it in half in three days and is been a dud ever since.
They did more business last year than all the previous year combined per last report. The BAF deal just in California could be several times that.
As you know they convert diesels engines to run on NG, and they say there are 4300 yard vehicles potentially to convert in just CA. I would think there's lots more than that.
Recently the CEO said he had dropped the r/s idea and the stock just ignored him.
Smoke
Thanks Freto, hope we print 5 big green ones in a row.
Smoke
ILGY , look where its fallen from .60, because mgt thought it wise to buy into the Russian oil play. Hope they was right, it cost them enough.
