where is this list? Part of the discontinued operations?

I see 4 products of which one deals with oil. I guess if you are stretching things, you can angle oil cleanup for a hurricane, but lets be realistic - Katrina was basically a 1 in 20 year storm. That is what you will need again.
Even at that, the vibe I get from this CEO is their direction is to focus on agriculture, plain and simple. That is why its moved - that is a good angle for sure and a good hold FOR THAT REASON. Don't pump it for hurricanes though.
That's my only point.
BUGS - don't think it belongs here at all (unless someone can show me the way) - the subsidiary that was related to environmental cleanup was discontinued 2 years ago....its been running on the agri angle. Fine and dandy, but pumping it as a hurricane play now seems ridiculous to me!
U.S. Microbics, Inc., (Pinksheets: BUGS) is a business development firm for companies with products, services and initiatives that favorably impact the environment. Over the past decade the company has served as a holding company and chief investor for subsidiary Sub-Surface Waste Management (SSWM), that deployed microbial technologies for soil, groundwater and carbon remediation. SSWM remediation operations were discontinued in 2007 and the company was renamed to Green Mountain Development Corp (Pinksheets: GMND) and was subsequently spun off to pursue agricultural application of the microbial technology (more info at www.GreenBizness.com).
I gotta ask, what the hell does BUGS have to do with hurricanes anymore? Hard enough finding the website - but thanks for the link here. It looks to me they discontinued the operations that had anything to do with storm remediation (at that, they needed pretty much a cat 5). Now they have moved into agriculture (which has been its own little bull market). What remediation is left seems to be for oils, sludge, manure, compost. That doesn't sound storm related one bit.
I think it moved as it did because of the new focus - the new company...seems to me though, 'captain bob' isn't pushing the storm angle anymore, so why are all the traders?
If exxon valdez hits a reef again, this is your play. Hurricanes though? Whatever!
GV starting - gave u plenty of notice

While NSMG is favorite pink for hurricanes, realizing GV is at a great spot here on the AMEX. They are focusing their business now on the electrical reconstruction and made big earnings when Katrina crossed Florida as a cat 1. Balance sheet is strong - 16m in equity, with only a 10m market cap. That means fairly valued 60% higher without any consideration of a hurricane. 3 of 4 key models now look to anticipate a florida landfall, and for these guys, thats paydirt.
Top it off, great spot on chart near 2 month low.

that's pretty much hurricane andrew path - thats serious stuff. Rather see better consensus with what I consider the other 2 main models ecmwf and gfdl. It looks like last frame of gfdl breaks more westerly at the end of the loop - ECMWF however still deviates and shows it recurving and brushing the maritimes. If that comes down to agree with the other two, florida/gulf need to be serious high alert.
don't think TD 2 will live - its going to hit into big pocket of dust by tomorrow - that will break it down, if not hinder any growth - from there, it will likely recurve too far north for any threat.
The biggee is behind it and that one looks very dangerous. ECMWF shows possibility of east coast hit (need 1 more frame to see if it can recurve soon enough) - carolinas may be big risk, at same time, could follow Andrew track and Florida takes a direct hit. This model is the highest north though. Almost all of them show something significant coming out of it, with general consensus around the Dominican.
MOST pinks should be buyer beware - most are scams as it is - NSMG however is not - legit business in pretty standing with BBB...not many pinks can claim that one....to be a legit pink is big in my books.

nope, never filled mine at 0.013...seriously think its scare tactics as this is shaping up to be a major hurricane hitting Dominican next Friday - there will be much talk with Florida risk if track moves slightly north, and regeneration in the gulf as well if it runs through DR and Cuba. I'd of gladly taken some of that block thanks.
nice NSMG games...had an order sitting at 13 all morning and they bypass and whack 12 and still don't fill me...me thinks the MM's are trying to spook because they know this will run like bloody murder through next week
NSMG...serious hurricane threat that the media will finally start talking about today - steal here IMH

well, you say ALL will develop it into a major storm - the latest run of the GFDL still only has it as a trop storm (it doesn't need a new run, just look in the run window for trop two). CMC has it maybe cat 1 at best with pressure of 1004 mpa, GFS is major as I said, ecmwf, yes, I initially thought it showed a breakup, but that was just it looping back and it looked like a continuation even thou it was first frame - yep, big deal there, HWRF shows a trop depression by end of forecast period.
A major storm you talk of (YET) would be in 3 models at best. I agree there is certainly the risk down the road though, and that's why we are here hoping for an early play on the stocks! GFDL is key as that was the #1 player last year.
one on the far right interests me more (as well as the obvious one just coming off land further south)...the track of the large cluster over senegal will likely be too far north and broken up by the dust.
Little much there dawg...huge exaggeration - first TD 2 will likely recurve as it has a track further north to start, hit high east coast at best, or dissipate before land - the only consideration is the one behind it, and to say all develop it into a major hurricane is very misleading. Only the GFS shows it so far as a major storm - CMC is shaping up that way, but the model has been very weak for a few years and no forecaster trusts it. The most reliable models are the ECMWF and the GFDL - ECM can't make up its mind - originally it was tracking to Dominican, then it tracked north as a larger storm, now its back on the Dominican track. GFDL which is #1 model shows a track to Dominican area, but at tropical storm strength by the end of the run.
To say most models have it directly hitting is bogus....not one confirms that yet. There IS the potential thou for this to be a gulf storm, but it will depend on whether it tracks over Dominican and Cuba which could break it up enough.
We are early, but this is the biggest threat this year no question. Just keep it real, there are still 3 solid months to go!
First real threat looks to be taking shape - have to look behind TD 2 - the ECMWF and GFDL models (most reliable last year) both have a new one running further south expecting to head towards lower Dominican. The GFS runs it quite aggressive and large by then, and CMC also shows same (although thats traditionally more garbage). Watch this one - ignore the rest. Potential gulf track depending on how it interacts with land.
Obviously real early, but that is why NSMG is still near its bottom.

NSMG is the hurricane play now (early entry) - invest two is not the one to watch, but the one behind it not picked up there - key is the most reliable models (GFDL and ECMWF) are forecasting the more dangerous track for the one behind to head through to the Dominican vs curving north that the depression and two are doing. That is the one with real potential and it won't be in the media spotlight for a couple days. This is the time for sure!
As for IPII - I am worried that their division most related filed bankruptcy - I'm not sure what kind of spinoff their manufacturing that remains still can get, but I think something is there - continuing to watch and review.
May see a gulf storm IMH thou out of this future storm. IF that happens, by the time we know for sure, this will be over 5 cents.
ETLY - drop overkill and this should be a good spot to buy. Real news, and big news at that.
ETLY for sure, often see this kind of PR in the penny world, but its just a fake. This one 100% legit. What a huge deal for them!

kubby resignation letter...this been posted?

none of the models show it developing - 'looks' to be quiet for a couple weeks - rather call it per the experts vs hope Regardless - now or a month from now, there will be something to get them going.
bugs will be in play, but it doesn't get the hurricane hype nsmg gets - I've followed both for several years. Could see similar % gains though from where it is
NSMG - august hurricane update out - SST temps are warming, wind shear expected to drop to near normal, and dust expected to diminish. Forecast expects favorable environment for hurricanes by middle of August and you know this is the one that will run first. Any cat 1 hit on the mainland and this should be up 200%, any cat 3, this should be up 600%+
Risk reward is pretty damn sweet IMH - don't forget, most of the plays are dead now (ie, WEGI in default and now sub penny), so this is one of the prime ones to pick from in the penny arena
thanks for that DRAD...scanner material - have it setup for high cash, low debt (takes out the garbage banks), and net margins -10% and better (grabs the 'turnaround' plays)...check the tangibles, compare to the market cap - easy stuff. Very few left out there as cheap as that one on that basis though. CLZR is another that has 200% to go before its fairly valued, but it does have lawsuit overhang that holds it back a bit, but no idea on timeframe as its been dragging on for a couple years.
I am also high high high on SMED, but that is more on earnings & current events angle. That one is 'fairly' worth $12-14 on what we know, and I bet we will see upward surprise with h1n1. Top it off, there is a USAF contract awaiting answer on, and any major hurricane, this hits serious paydirt. More subtle angle on top of that is the fact that recession leads to homeless leads to heroin junkies leading to heavy need for safe needle disposal. SMED is an absolute home run these days.
Higher priced on earnings, HITK should still see double/triple from here - slower/higher priced play thou.
DRAD - broke resistance and flying - posted here around $1.40, now 2.20's - worth $3 easy, more than $5 if you look at historic earnings vs chart
DRAD highest volume since IPO (or uplist - whatever it started with)...worth twice this on balance sheet alone and just reported best Q ever with 0.04c earnings - was losing money and at $5 before.
DRAD - solid hidden play - worth double on balance sheet alone - grabbed some this am 1.39 and 1.45. Was totally unknown, so may take a bit to get around.
DRAD - steal here - 1.66 in cash, reported 4c eps which puts it at a 10pe rate...sector is way higher. $3m cashflow this Q just reported. Fair value closer to $3
all I've seen regarding that is a post mentioning info from the CC (I won't be able to listen until tonight)..definitely positive though.
1) Raises FY10 guidance on top and bottom
2) Expects ECR to significantly increase Hi-Tech's footprint across all markets.
3) See's major shift to generics as current administration continues on health care reform, providing Hi-Tech with a huge opportunity for growth.
HITK bio back on $13...one of the best looking plays I've seen in a while - take a look at it
HITK - Huge play IMH - reported 0.45 for the Q, way above the analyst estimate of 0.20 - 13 products in FDA approval, 20 products under development, sector PE average 30 and they may be floating around 4-7 forward PE with no debt. At current earnings rate, this has all the rights to be valued $50 or higher.
PRAN - may be crack bio play on trial news
SMED off NVAX - disposal of needles administering vaccine - this had been totally missed last flu run, but check the fundamentals - huge growth & expansion and the ONLY public company in this area. This will double from here this year conservatively.

I got my fills earlier in the day on the bid - just need to fill when people aren't looking - otherwise it runs off the ask like crazy and the chasers pay up for the big spread.
SKBI - China pharma play, first day on nasdaq - current EPS around $2 (on new share count), expected $3-4 after offering and new share count for 2009/2010 - low float, so respect and look for pullbacks. High margins as well.
MNTG runner on gaming news
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - After years of opposition to the expansion of gambling, Gov. Ted Strickland on Friday announced a plan for slot machines at seven horse racing tracks as a way to help balance the state budget.
Strickland, a Democrat, said he stared into the face of painful cuts — particularly cuts to a state prison system already 32 percent above capacity — to erase a $3.2 billion budget deficit and decided that the expansion of gambling was the best option among a host of painful choices.
"This has been a difficult choice for me but I believe a necessary one," said Strickland, who said a "conservative" estimate found the gambling expansion would bring in net revenue of $765 million to the state, whose budget is about $54 billion. "It is contrary to what I ever thought I would have to do."
The choice was particularly difficult for Strickland because he endorsed establishing the slots through legislative action and not through a vote of the people, who have shot down gambling initiatives four times in the past 20 years. The governor said legislative action was required to provide revenue quickly enough to avoid a tax increase.
Strickland said he's still opposed to a plan to put an amendment on the November general election ballot to establish casinos in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Toledo.
Gambling opponents, including the conservative-leaning Ohio Roundtable, were quick to respond to Strickland's racetracks proposal.
"Difficult economic times do not give the governor a free pass to trash the Constitution and the results of four statewide elections," the public policy group said in a statement. "The Roundtable calls upon the Ohio Legislature to defend the Ohio Constitution and the votes of the vast majority of Ohioans who stand clearly opposed to the expansion of slot machine gambling in Ohio."
The state Constitution restricts gambling. But the Ohio State Racing Commission, which has pushed for the slots proposal as a way to generate revenue and save a flagging industry, has said lottery-run slots won't violate the Constitution — a position with which Strickland agrees.
Racetrack owners have said that Ohio's industry is at a disadvantage because neighboring states subsidize their purse winnings with proceeds from casinos or from slot machines at the racetracks.
The governor's reversal on slot machines helps solve a piece of the puzzle confronting lawmakers negotiating the two-year budget plan.
However, Senate President Bill Harris, a Republican, has said he opposed any expansion of gambling without the approval of voters. House Speaker Armond Budish, a Democrat, has long been the most open of the three leaders in state government to gambling initiatives and praised Strickland's announcement in a statement as a move that "will help save Ohio jobs and avoid detrimental tax increases on Ohio families."
Strickland's gambling proposal was just one facet of a budget framework he's providing to lawmakers attempting to reach a budget deal by July 1. The framework is a break in precedent as the governor generally permits legislative negotiators to work out the details of the state spending plan once the governor introduces his proposed budget months before.
Republican lawmakers have been calling on Strickland to say what he would accept in a budget proposal.
The governor's plan preserves funding for his school-funding proposal and for the continuation of a tuition freeze for a third year at the state's four-year colleges and universities.
Strickland's plan includes $1.3 billion in state agency spending, $770 million in cuts to the Medicaid health insurance program for the poor and a cut from 14 percent to 8 percent in the state share of contributions to the Publ
