I hate those paid reports....use the money for more wells...

Might be worth watching...Uranium's New Kid on the Block Will Be the Biggest
By David J. DesLauriers
29 Sep 2005 at 11:49 AM EDT
TORONTO (ResourceInvestor.com) -- The Endeavour people now have a uranium vehicle, and as usual they have gone big. The presently halted Signature Resources [TSXv:SRZ] is the putative subject of an RTO and a name change to UrAsia Energy.
The Team
The team will include Ian Telfer as non-executive Chairman, and the board of directors will consist of Phillip Shirvington, Frank Giustra, Bob Cross, Douglas Holtby, Dr. Massimo Carello and one other to be determined. The officers will be Phillip Shirvington, president and chief executive officer, and Gordon Keep, chief financial officer and secretary. Half of this list are former Yorkton, Endeavour people who are part of almost all of the large mining deals in Canada and in Europe.
This project is designed to be the blue chip vehicle for institutions to participate in the uranium bull market predicted by an increasing number.
Financing
“UrAsia has agreed to enter into a brokered private placement through a syndicate led by Canaccord Capital Europe Ltd. and including BMO Nesbitt Burns and GMP Securities Ltd. of subscription receipts at an estimated price of $2.00 (Canadian) to $2.50 (Canadian) per share to raise gross proceeds of $300-million (U.S.). The agents will also be granted a greenshoe option of up to $125-million (U.S.).”
Knowing this group, and the appetite for uranium, the greenshoe will most likely be filled. $425 million is one hell of a lot of money – more than was raised for Wheaton River in the early days, and it is also a big vote of confidence in Kazakhstan where all of the proposed assets are located.
Kazakhstan
This will be, by my count the third Endeavour related vehicle operating in Kazakhstan, the two others being European Minerals [TSX:EPM], and Oriel Resources [TSX:ORL].
As we told readers in late June when we reported on the Oriel story, Kazakhstan is a better place to do business than people realize.
The GDP of Kazakhstan is 41 billion dollars, which is more than the combined GDP of the four other ‘Stans’ and also more than the combined GDP of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
"We (Kazakhstan) have done extremely well as compared to other Stans in the neighborhood," Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev told United Press International in an interview. "We have one third of Central Asia's population and three fourths of its natural resources," he said.
Nazarbayev also told a recent gathering at the fourth Eurasian Media Forum that with radical market reforms he has hiked the per capita GDP of Kazakhstan from over $700 a decade ago to $2,700 by the end of last year.
Nazarbayev has pledged to the country's over 15 million people that by year 2010, the per capita GDP would be $5,800 making it first post Soviet Union nation to reach at par with Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Malaysia.
Indeed, Kazakhstan does appear to be a cut above the madness going on in the Stans right now, and investors forget, or are unaware of the fact that the country has the same bond rating as Mexico.
Assets
UrAsia has the option to acquire a 30% indirect interest in the Kharassan uranium project located in south-central Kazakhstan in consideration for $75-million of which $37.5-million is payable in cash and $37.5-million is payable by the issuance of ordinary shares of UrAsia at the financing price. The other 70% interest in the project is held by Kazatomprom and another Kazakhstani entity.
UrAsia has also entered into a memorandum of understanding pursuant to which it can acquire an indirect 70% interest in the Betpak Dala joint venture, which has interests (described below) in two uranium projects in Kazakhstan in consideration for $350-million, payable as to $234-million in cash and the balance by the issuance of ordinary shares of UrAsia at the lower of the financing price.
UrAsia also intends to submit an offer to a public tender by the Kyrgyzstani government for the purchase of a 72% interest in the Kara Balti uranium mill, located in Kyrgyzstan.
Conclusion
It would appear that if this is consummated, UrAsia would have a market capitalization larger than all of the Canadian listed uranium plays save Cameco [TSX:CCO]. I believe that honour currently goes to International Uranium [TSX:IUC].
All of the assets will be concentrated in Kazakhstan, and by all appearances uranium reserves will be huge, the partner will be Kazakhstan’s state energy company, and there will likely be uranium production in fairly short order.
The company will be run by a group that can raise money, promote, and has excellent relationships with the institutions. If uranium runs, this thing will be at the top of the list. One wonders if there will be a publicly listed, long life warrant?

sumisu, I'm really patient on TDYH and I know audits take time. I think they are trying to do it right and it will pay off for us in the long term. Here's some news on the Gulf damage...
Katrina pipeline damage more than first thought By Tom Doggett
1 hour, 52 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Hurricane Katrina did more damage to underwater oil and natural gas pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico than previously thought, according to the U.S. agency that oversees offshore energy production.
The head of the Interior Department's Minerals Management Service, Johnnie Burton, said two weeks ago that Katrina did not do as much damage to offshore pipelines as Hurricane Ivan did a year earlier.
However, Burton's estimate turned out to be too optimistic, and the damage is much worse. "It appears that way," said MMS spokesman Gary Strasburg, who pointed out that Burton's comments were based on initial data available at the time.
"I think in her remarks she said that it was preliminary information," he said.
Strasburg could not elaborate on how much worse the damage is from Katrina, saying the agency is still trying to figure out the impact of Hurricane Rita.
Burton was out of the country and unavailable for comment.
Katrina, a Category 5 hurricane, churned through the Gulf of Mexico with winds of over 155 mph, before striking the Louisiana and Mississippi coast on August 29. Rita hit the Texas-Louisiana border last weekend with winds of 120 mph.
All U.S. oil production in the Gulf of Mexico, about 1.5 million barrels a day, had been offline for five days in a row since Rita made landfall last Saturday near the Texas-Louisiana border. Some output finally returned on Thursday, when about 33,000 barrels a day, or 1.4 percent of normal production, came back on online.
Natural gas output is in slightly better shape, with about 80 percent, or 8 billion cubic feet a day, shut-in.
While damage by Rita to offshore drilling rigs and underwater pipelines is part of the reason for reduced oil output, problems at onshore facilities are also at fault, according to MMS.
Specifically, the refineries still shut down due to both hurricanes can't use the offshore oil and storage tanks are filling up, which diminishes the need for energy companies to restart, for those that can, their Gulf production operations.
"The role of onshore facilities (in not bringing back production) is something we're trying to determine," said MMS spokeswoman Susan Weaver. "That is certainly a factor, I cannot tell you how much at this point."
She pointed out that MMS' Burton said two weeks ago that 35 percent of the Gulf oil output shut-in by Katrina was due to problems at onshore facilities.
"We are not yet able to assign a percentage to it (for Rita)," Weaver said. "It's a question we're trying to get a figure on."
The information-gathering process has been slowed by the closing of the MMS' offices in New Orleans and Houston, where the agency's staff that usually deal with offshore energy production are located.
The oil companies also haven't been able to resume their operations fully because all their workers have not returned. Many of them are still dealing with the disruption to their lives after the hurricanes.
"Personnel is a big issue here for onshore (facilities) as well as offshore," Weaver said. "That is certainly a factor in this."
She said the MMS hopes to provide a more complete update soon on the hurricane damage to energy infrastructure and what effect that has on Gulf production.
Dang!! We PR a second rig ON THE JOB AND MAKING MONEY and only go up 2%????? AMEP buys a rig probably from a Mexican chop shop and probably with no wheels or engine and they go up 250%??????? Shoot, lets get on the OTC NOW, screw the Amex!!! LOL!!!
ZOLT up 17% to $12.10...no news, but they make the carbon fiber for wind generator blades. May be an alternative energy move.
Terry, other than stock, what products has BSX bought from BIPH and what are the revenue figures???? If the Coca-Cola name is worth a billion dollars, I'd say the Biophan name is worth about 10 cents!! LOL!!! BTW, I have two BSX stents...
hope I don't get a recall!!!
I think Weiner ought to give up patent collecting and start coin collecting, as in SALES!!!! Surely he can sell just ONE product to one customer!!! LOL!!!
Interesting...IDS Worldwide, Inc. Announces Officers and Directors Withdraw 37.5 Million Shares From DTC
Wednesday September 28, 1:38 pm ET
IDS Worldwide, Inc. -- Formerly Known as IDS Worldwide Solutions, Inc. -- Clarifies Name, CUSIP # and Symbol Change
ORLANDO, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 28, 2005 -- IDS Worldwide, Inc. (Other OTC:IDWS.PK - News) today announced that all Officers and Directors have taken physical possession in Certificate form of all 37.5 Million Shares of Restricted Stock under their ownership. IDS Worldwide, Inc. (http://www.ids-worldwide.com) has taken this action to quell unsubstantiated rumors that have been circulating that Officers and Directors in whole or part have leveraged these holdings by entering into buy-sell and/or loan agreements with fund providers. IDS has rejected every offer from these "Loan/Hedge Funds" that have requested discounted "Free Trading Shares" as it would adversely affect current common stock shareholders.
All shares issued to Officers and Directors were restricted shares, the Officers and Directors as a group have never been issued any free trading shares and this 37.5 Million Shares pulled from the DTC on 9/27/05 represents every single share the group had been issued.
IDS Worldwide, Inc. further clarifies the current timetable for the mandatory surrender of all stock under the old CUSIP number, name and new symbol. IDS Worldwide, Inc. has been issued a new CUSIP Number and has filed with the State of Delaware its Restated Articles of Incorporation including the Board of Directors Resolution for the name change to IDS Worldwide, Inc. IDS is awaiting the certified copy of the Restated Articles of Incorporation back from the State of Delaware and upon receipt will forward this document along with the new CUSIP Number to NASD for the new symbol change.
Current shareholders of IDS Worldwide Common Stock (IDWS) will not have to take any action as each brokerage with stockholders on the official transfer agent ledger will be notified of these changes. Only clients of these brokerages who have "borrowed stock" they did not own in their own accounts will have to purchase stock in the open market in order to surrender the certificates to receive the new stock to balance their positions. IDS does not have an exact date the new symbol will be issued and therefore cannot give any advance notice of the day brokerages will be notified of the mandatory call of the old stock. However, IDS has been advised by the agencies involved that it should be completed shortly.

Although we anticipate that we will be able to start generating revenues during the next six months, we also expect an increase in development and operating costs. Consequently, we expect to incur operating losses and net cash outflows unless and until our existing products, and/or any new products that we may develop or acquire, gain market acceptance sufficient to generate a commercially viable and sustainable level of sales.
I sold my LU and bought NGAS instead of FASC a couple of weeks ago.
Doubledownga, you sure don't look stupid right now with a million shares of AMEP!!!! I've followed the company a long time, they just make me wary, that's all. GLTY, it will be very interesting how they do long term.
Doubloon...look at ASPN.OB earnings....I think TDYH will have them beat....ASPN closed at $8.01, down today, $10.55 is 52 week high. I think Tandem is at over a million$$ a MONTH revs. ASPN has about 3.88 million float, 6.72 million OS....
Aspen Exploration Reports Strong Annual 2005 Results
Wednesday September 28, 6:44 pm ET
Earnings Increase 641% Resulting in Diluted EPS of $0.22
DENVER, CO--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 28, 2005 -- Aspen Exploration Corporation (OTC BB:ASPN.OB - News), an energy company with offices in Bakersfield, California, and Denver, Colorado, announced today results for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. For the fiscal year, the Company reported revenues of $4,127,000, an increase of 126% as compared to the year-earlier period revenues of $1,824,000, and net after tax profit of $1,487,000 compared to $201,000 a year earlier, an increase of 640%.
The Company reported higher revenues as a result of an increase in production volumes from recent gas discoveries and higher prevailing prices for natural gas. Gas production for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 averaged 1,704 MCF per day, an increase of 104% versus the same period in fiscal 2004. Net income before interest, depletion, depreciation and taxes increased 276% to $3,585,000, or $0.53 per share, compared to $953,000, or $0.14 per share for the prior twelve month period.
The start of our fiscal 2005 drilling season was delayed from April until late June due to the lack of rig availability. Because of this delay, reserves discovered in July, August, and September of 2005 from Aspen's six recently drilled gas wells were not included in our 2005 reserve report causing the percentage depletion to increase substantially and resulted in an increased depletion expense. Aspen also incurred a substantial increase in provision for income taxes due to higher revenues and the near-expiration of its tax-loss carry-forward. These items reduced Aspen's earnings and average daily production for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. A one-time gain of $567,000 for the sale of stock in a Canadian uranium company helped to partially offset the effects of the depletion and income tax expenses.
Based upon the increasing production levels and continued strong gas prices, which currently exceed $10.00 per MCF, Aspen expects continued strong earnings for the current fiscal year.
Aspen's stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol ASPN. For more information concerning oil and gas operations contact Bob Cohan, President and CEO, in Aspen's Bakersfield office at (661) 831-4669. Aspen's web page can be found at www.aspenexploration.com.

Doubledownga, AMEP carries debt, but no one to pay it to?? LOL!!!! Then get it off the books and out of the filings!!!!!! Profits to be paid to shareholders as dividend? Do you have a link to that info?? TIA...
jonesieatl, INSM, I have had it on watch list a long time. Keep wanting to buy on the dips and sell on the "recoveries", but never do it. Any buy around a buck or less can yield a decent short term return. If there is an FDA approval, it could FLY!!!

Corning May See Than 20% Earnings Growth Through 2007
Ed Lin, 09.27.05, 9:53 AM ET
UBS Investment Research expects strong third-quarter earnings from Corning (nyse: GLW - news - people ) on strong LCD volume growth and maintained a "buy" rating and price target of $24.
The research firm raised sequential quarterly volume growth for LCDs to 20% from 17.5%; Corning had guided to 15% to 20% growth. UBS sees fourth-quarter sequential growth of 5% to 10%. "We also expect Japanese competitors to have higher production in the fourth quarter of Gen 6 [display substrate] glass, which also factors into our Corning forecast," the firm said.
UBS said it doesn't believe there is any "material inventory of LCD panels/end products currently as the entire LCD foodchain is preparing for the normally strong fourth quarter."
Sell-through of LCD monitors, TVs and notebooks during holiday season through Chinese New Year in late January "will determine inventory situation in the first and second quarters of 2006.
Corning shares "will trade at a premium to the market given our expectation of above-average earnings growth of more than 20% earnings growth in 2005, 2006 and 2007," the firm said.

AMEP is a Business Development Company, too easy for abuse of shareholders by an OTC company with non-reporting
"investees", IMO. Has a history of major dilution, check the next filing in November on OS. That said, has been a huge money maker for those invested short term, I have my doubts about a long term hold on it...but I tend to be picky. CEO seems too willing to give out info via phone calls that should be done via PR, IMO. Hard to argue with the recent move, though!!!!!
TLPE added about 12 million shares in the last quarter, are they finished with the dilution????

SMSI: EV-DO Outlook Accelerating
Smith Micro is a leading developer and marketer of products for communications
networks, primarily focused on software for next generation wireless data
networks. Smith Micro was founded in 1983 and is headquartered in Aliso Viejo,
California. The company completed its IPO in 1995.
Verizon Wireless this week announced a number of partnerships with PC
manufacturers to offer its EV-DO service on their laptops. Partnerships
announced include Dell (DELL, NR), HP (HPQ, NR) and Lenovo (LNVGY, NR), which
recently acquired IBM's PC business. We believe the relationships heighten the
marketing power behind EV-DO and, combined with VZW's expanded coverage and
lower price point, should accelerate the adoption of EV-DO.
Under the agreements, SMSI will receive revenue from VZW for each laptop
configured for its EV-DO service. Dell has already begun offering the V620 PC
card on its website, with plans to shift to modules next year. HP plans to
demonstrate integrated offerings on September 27, with availability this fall
and integrated modules in their laptops early in 2006. Lenovo plans to
introduce an EV-DO configured Thinkpad laptop on October 11. SMSI gets the
same amount of revenue regardless of whether a PC card or an integrated module
is used.
EV-DO data kits coming. We believe that VZW has solved its network issues that
were keeping the carrier from offering SMSI data kits that can connect EV-DO
handsets with laptops. With these issues resolved, we expect SMSI to have EV-DO
data kit revenue in 4Q05. Data kits generate higher revenue per unit, offset by
somewhat lower margin.
The stock has rebounded significantly since we held an investor call with
management on August 25 (see our First Call note). We believe further catalysts
could be the CTIA trade show next week and solid results for 3Q05. We caution
investors, however, that while the news flow has been very positive recently,
including the announcement of Vodafone as a customer, we continue to expect a
more gradual improvement in results, accelerating in 2006.
At 14x our 2006 EPS estimate of $0.41, we believe the stock is a compelling
opportunity. Risks include high customer concentration, the potential for
emerging competitors to VZW to capture market share (including Cingular and
Sprint (S, NR)), and integration issues with Allume that could boost operating
expenses.

OPEC Sees Oil Price Volatility in Future
Saturday September 24, 7:32 pm ET
OPEC Says Volatility in Oil Market Likely to Continue for Some Time
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Volatility is likely to remain a feature of the oil market for some time, Adnan Shihab-Eldin, acting secretary-general of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, said Saturday.
In a statement to the International Monetary and Financial Committee in Washington, Shihab-Eldin said that despite OPEC's increasing its oil production, inadequate refining capacity in oil-consuming countries would keep oil prices high.
The impact of high oil prices on world economic growth has been the major talking point of this weekend's annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, as well as the meeting of the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations' finance ministers Friday. In their communique, G-7 ministers called on oil-producing countries to increase supply to help ease the inflationary impact that high oil prices are having on oil-consuming countries.

Good site for checking stocks based on technical events, I have found a few good ones under "Continuing Trends - Bullish" or the "13-day EMA Cross Above 50-day EMA":
(Best to go to Yahoo for additional info, Clearstation not that good with company info...)

Also this site which basically uses a Motley Fool screener for fundamentals, use TA to find good entry point:

Nice info ENO:
SMSI is the "software arm" for verizon wirless VZ & VOD. This info along with the HP, DELL, Lenova IBM and othe mobile oem relationships has this baby in the right place at the right time. At the MCF CC smith alluded that he expected years to be added to the years still left on thier contract with VZ/VOD. Confirmation of the strength of the product & relationship smsi has. Couple that with the wireless broadband being the next disruptive technnology & we are about to soar. Soon all the talking heads will be on board. Expect several large announcements from smsi over the next 2 months.
ENJOY
angelhillcorp, good point, but I don't pay that much attention to insider selling since I got burned selling PRFT when the CEO was dumping large blocks every month for about 8 months at about $3-$4, when he was done, it ran up to $9...go figure. I've also seen insider selling on a company just prior to a merger announcement that doubled the pps....go figure. I'm just watching the trend now on SMSI and the (hopefully) improving fundamentals. Insider buying says a lot more than selling, and I guess time will tell on SMSI.
