And they would give the A-Holes something to shoot at besides manned craft.....
Doubloon, thanks for the report. I thought they had a second rig..... Hey!!!! Maybe I can see the future!!!!! Should buy some more!!!
It appears the excitement is building nearing the 10-K release.
nlightn, when STEM announced the UK deal, I figured more of the same in the future to get away from the USA restrictions on research and a better outlook for the company.
nlightn, do you think STEM has reached a "Buy & Hold" stage yet???? It was always a good one to get in and out, but may be one to get a core position in soon.
Gold up $13.00.......

What's the name of the circus and does TRCPA do their books? I'd like to go if they are ever in our town. Maybe Cal does the circus books, Chairman of the Board, etc., etc., of FASC can't be a full time job.
Huggums, also companies that are delisted from Amex, Nas, or NYSE to OTC would also have their warrants delisted to the OTC.......I think......
huggums, I think I've seen them on OTC stocks, but can't recall which ones. I think they are usually part of equity financing or loans and generally not traded on the open market. Maybe others can provide more info. This is the "OTHER" board so I think we're OK with the topic on OTC warrants!!!!
huggums, options or warrants??
Terry, I know, sure wish the good companies would acquire the good products, for the good of all......but that's what usually happens.
Thanks for the info. Is Janesfwh associated with the circus, he seems to be always "on the road", he posted recently on RB. Is Mr. Nichols running FASC and the circus? Busy man.
TRCPA, do you do the circus accounting?
Anyone know where the bios are for management and directors?? I can't find anything at the FASC website.
Terry, looks like the most adamant long on RB was just a trader after all.....

I certainly hope the new lows predicted come about so I can reload all over again...just be quiet and let fate lead you...HA HA HA HA HA.
What are your thoughts now?? Will they start pumping Amex listing or Nano??
Now you say with a sealed deal and revenues on the horizon that BIPH is "smoke and mirrors."
OT: Glad to see you are diversified, I'm still tracking FASC and ARTQX from July 1. $50,000 in FASC is down 28% or $14,285, ARTQX only up 3.4% or $1,714. Looks like I picked too conservative a fund!
I'm holding about 20 stocks right now, but like to get it down to about 10. Watch lists have about 200 stocks!!! LOL!!
Doubloon, USGL, I think we missed one there, up 87% since August 5......maybe in 2006......or is something going on behind closed doors??? GG looking for acquisitions, don't know if USGL qualifies.
TRCPA, do you have any other stocks you like or are you 100% in FASC????
I know, that's why I posted it! ))
Do you think the home office was dumping on the 14th??? I can't imagine any longs dumping before the filing, especially nearly a half(?) million shares in one day. Maybe the MM's were just checking at what level buyers would jump in.......
No Uranium? Molybdenum Will Do
By Resource Investor & Canadian Press
18 Mar 2005 at 04:21 PM EST
MIAMI (ResourceInvestor.com) -- Investors are showing as strong an appetite for molybdenum as uranium lately. Just lately Australian mining magnate Andew Forrest secured financing for his Hibernia Gold Ltd to build a major moly mine in the country; the Spinifex Ridge project in the Western Australia's Pilbara region.
Latest on the boom bandwagon are Toronto venture listings Goldrea Resources and Molycor Gold. The two announced on Friday that they were reviewing jointly held properties with moly mineralization.
That put both stocks into orbit with Goldrea (TSXV:GOR) shares gaining seven cents, (25%), to 35 cents and Molycor (TSXV:MOR) was up a cent, (+6%), to 16 cents.
The two companies are equal partners in Tadpole Lake, about 25 kilometres northwest of Kelowna, and the Crowrea property near Summerland.
Molybdenum, primarily employed in the hardening of steel, but used in other alloys as well as in petroleum industry applications, has risen steadily from about $3.50 US per pound in 2002 to about $35.50.
After consulting with geologists and engineers, the companies said they "have decided to re-examine and evaluate the Tadpole Lake and the Crowrea Moly project" and are planning a $500,000 Cdn diamond-drill testing program at Tadpole Lake.
Molybdenum prices are at their highest in nearly a third of a century and reports are emerging of a scramble to secure supplies after decades of underinvestment in exploration.
The soaring prices were a fillip for Chile's Codelco, the world's number one copper miner, with moly contributing about $1 billion in by-product profits in 2004. Codelco had a record year with a $3.3 billion pre-tax profit, an increase of 444% over 2003, on revenues of $8.2 billion. Compatriot Antofagasta also relied on moly for its exceptional financial results of 2004 that turned in a net profit of $445 million compared with $114 million in 2003. Antofagasta received $20/lb for its molybdenum in 2004, up from $5.5/lb a year earlier.
Other recent moly news came from CNQ listed Roxmark Mines Limited [RMKL] which is modifying a mill to treat gold and molybdenum that it plans to mine at its Nortoba-Tyson property that is currently being explored.
Toronto venture listing Mercator Minerals [ML] last week announced a copper-moly resource containing 1.3 billion pounds of copper and 330 million pounds of moly based on a copper price of $1.4975/lb and a moly price of $28.50/lb.
This is funny....no wonder they have to buy them out! LOL!!

Oil Prices Hold Above $65 Per Barrel
"However, OPEC's commitments this year have done little to ease runaway prices."
"High demand, blamed on China and the United States, has eaten into limited global excess capacity worldwide, resulting in a limited amount of spare crude to counter any unplanned production outage."

Oil Prices Hold Above $65 After Report Shows Dip in Crude Stocks but Rise in Gas Inventories
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) -- Crude-oil prices rose Thursday, holding above $65 a barrel after U.S. petroleum data showed a decline in crude stocks but a rise in gasoline inventories -- suggesting that soaring prices are undercutting U.S. gasoline demand.
"The market is concentrating on the bigger picture, which shows that four major U.S. refineries are still out, the gasoline market is still pretty tight coupled with a further draw shown in yesterday's stock report," said Orrin Middleton, energy analyst with Barclays Capital in London.
Light, sweet crude for October delivery rose 31 cents to $65.40 a barrel in European electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Gasoline was up nearly a cent to $1.9450 a gallon, while heating oil rose slightly to $1.9285 a gallon.
On London's International Petroleum Exchange, October Brent crude gained 7 cents to $63.44 a barrel. Analysts expected the October contract to dip temporarily ahead of its expiration later Thursday.
OPEC's acting secretary general, Adnan Shihab-Eldin, told Dow Jones Newswires on Thursday that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries would consider increasing its production ceiling by almost 2 percent at its meeting Monday.
"OPEC has committed itself to ensure there's adequate supply," Shihab-Eldin said, "so the president has put forward a proposal to add 500,000 barrels a day to the ceiling if the market calls for it."
OPEC President Sheik Ahmed Fahd Al Ahmed Al Sabah told al-Arabiya television on Wednesday that he would push for the quota hike to ease a supply crunch and cool prices. However, OPEC's commitments this year have done little to ease runaway prices.
Shihab-Eldin said the cartel does not intend to alter its 2-year-old policy of allowing global inventories to build. The current ceiling for 10 of its 11 members, excluding Iraq, is 28 million barrels a day.
Crude prices spiked nearly $2 a barrel on Wednesday following the Department of Energy's weekly petroleum data snapshot, closing at $65.09 a barrel, around 50 percent higher than a year ago.
The report showed that while crude stocks fell 6.6 million barrels to 308.4 million barrels due to lower imports and output lockdowns after Hurricane Katrina, gasoline stocks grew a surprising 1.9 million barrels to 192 million commercially available barrels.
"It's hard to get a definitive where prices are going just because of Hurricane Katrina ... (But) the data did show that gasoline demand has slowed," said Commonwealth Bank commodities strategist David Thurtell from Sydney, Australia.
With the Northern Hemisphere winter approaching, market focus gradually shifts to distillates, as demand for heating fuels typically peaks during this period.
The Energy Department said distillate stocks, which group heating oil, jet fuel, kerosene and diesel, fell 1.1 million barrels to 133.3 million barrels, just ahead of the heating season.
Washington has already warned of rising home heating costs in the fourth quarter of the year, but lower stocks -- coupled with a biting winter -- could push prices for consumers even higher.
The petroleum inventories report over the past two weeks has been crucial in providing clues as to extent of damage cause by Hurricane Katrina, which plowed through the U.S. Gulf of Mexico coast at the end of August, striking at the heart of key oil production and import infrastructure.
The Interior Department said 58 percent of crude-oil production off the U.S. Gulf Coast remains shut down.
Refineries were operating at 87 percent capacity, reflecting the shutdown of four major refineries in Louisiana as a result of the hurricane, the EIA said. It is expected to be two to three months before those refineries, accounting for more than 900,000 barrels of daily production, are likely to be back in operation, officials said.
There are also signs that the U.S. economy may be slowing due to rising fuel costs. The U.S. government said retail sales fell 2.1 percent in August, even before Katrina hit, with auto sales plunging 12 percent. Industrial output last month was nearly flat, reflecting widespread shutdowns of oil platforms, refineries and chemical plants along the Gulf Coast.
Retail gasoline currently averages $2.94 per gallon across the United States, just days after self-serve regular averaged $3 for the first time ever.
High demand, blamed on China and the United States, has eaten into limited global excess capacity worldwide, resulting in a limited amount of spare crude to counter any unplanned production outage.

Doubloon, they are still in denial on the BCIT board and attacking anyone telling it like it is. People really get into the "blame game" anymore, kill the messenger mentality.

by Dan Piller Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Texas Tuesday, September 13, 2005
Record natural-gas prices in the wake of Hurricane Katrina have stoked even more interest in the Barnett Shale drilling play around Fort Worth, but tight supplies for drilling rigs means that expansion of the field isn't likely to accelerate beyond earlier plans.
"Day rates for rigs have gone up, but that's not the real problem -- the problem is just getting a rig," says veteran Fort Worth oilman Dick Lowe, whose Four Sevens Oil Co. has had to wait an extra month for a drilling rig it plans to put on a site in Fort Worth at East Loop 820 and Interstate 30.
Weatherford drilling consultant Jimmy Thomas, a geologist who has interests in 30 wells and has followed the Barnett Shale play since the late 1990s, says, "The Barnett Shale is hotter than ever."
The "rig choke," as Lowe calls it, has manifested itself in higher day rates producers must pay for rigs. At the beginning of this decade, a jackknife rig could be had for about $6,000 per day. But back then, of course, natural gas sold for about $3, oil was still below $30 per barrel, and the U.S. drilling-rig count stood at about 700 working rigs.
In midsummer this year, Patterson-UTI of Snyder, which owns about one-third of the nation's oil- and gas-drilling rigs, quoted day rates of $12,000 to $13,000 for rigs during July and August. Chairman Cloyce Talbott said the rate is likely to reach $15,000 during the fourth quarter.
The Barnett Shale was doing nicely even before Hurricane Katrina shut down about a quarter of the nation's natural-gas production in the Gulf of Mexico. As of Tuesday, about 30 percent of the lost production had been restored but not before natural-gas prices shot up to $12 per thousand cubic feet, from $8 to $9 two weeks ago.
Drillers have responded to higher natural-gas prices. More than 1,400 drilling rigs were working onshore in the United States last week, more than 600 in Texas.
The number of rigs working in the six-county Barnett Shale field, which was opened in 1999, rose from 81 March 1 to 101 May 1. But since then the total has remained static, settling at 100 July 1, 106 August 1 and 102 at the end of last week.
The Barnett Shale play has expanded south and east of Johnson County this summer, with four rigs working in Bosque, Hill and Ellis counties as well as four more to the west in Palo Pinto County. Other rigs worked earlier in Erath County.
"If you're an established producer with relationships with the driller and some contracts, you'll be able to get equipment," Lowe said. "If not, you'll have a tough time."
The Barnett Shale is a rarity among natural-gas fields in Texas: Its production still is increasing. From total production of 79 billion cubic feet in 2000, the Barnett Shale has expanded to annual production of 368 billion cubic feet last year and along the way become Texas' largest-producing field.
The field is likely to keep that distinction this year. Through mid-2004, it had produced 210 billion cubic feet, up from 179 billion cubic feet a year ago. Producers have optimistic plans to expand the play, not only in the original Wise-Denton-Tarrant county zone northwest of Fort Worth but into Johnson, Parker and Hood counties as well.
Indeed, the increased drilling this year has come in those counties south and west of Fort Worth. The aggressive entries of two Fort Worth players, XTO Energy and Quicksilver Resources, have pushed up the drilling-rig counts in Johnson County from 15 in March to 32 last month and from eight to 15 rigs in Parker County. Hood County's rig count grew from two in March to seven in June, but the number declined to four last month.
The tightness in rig supplies isn't a surprise, given the erosion in the drilling industry after the early 1980s. The record rig count is 4,530 rigs, in December 1981. But shortly after that, the price of oil collapsed, and two-thirds of the nation's energy industry went into liquidation.
Much of the iron and steel that drilled wells was sold for scrap. By 1998, the rig count had sunk to 499, the lowest level since records have been kept. Only this summer has the rig count reached 1,400.
The price conditions that idled so many rigs have long gone away. Natural gas, which sold for less than $2.50 at the beginning of this decade, has soared in price thanks to heavy demand from new electricity generators.
Demand has been particularly heavy this summer because of peak electricity loads to power the nation's air conditioners. That demand pushed prices above $8 by mid-August, making it more difficult for gas utilities to fill storage caverns with the gas needed to get through cold snaps during winter heating season.
According to U.S. Energy Department figures, the nation was about 1 trillion cubic feet short of the 3.3 trillion cubic feet of stored gas that is considered a sufficient supply for a typical American winter. That was before Hurricane Katrina blew away 24 percent of U.S. production that comes from the Gulf of Mexico. That 24 percent effectively matches Texas' share of annual production.
For that reason Daniel Yergin, author of the seminal work The Prize and considered one of the nation's foremost energy experts, said last week that "the run-up in natural-gas prices is the real story of Hurricane Katrina."
Indeed, although crude oil's spike was about 5 percent at the peak of the markets' reaction to Katrina last week, natural gas rose by 20 percent to nearly $12.
Those prices make obsolete earlier warnings by the Energy Department and utilities like Dallas-based Atmos Energy, which supplies gas to residential and commercial customers in Dallas-Fort Worth, that winter heating bills could rise by as much as 20 percent.
The higher natural-gas costs will probably be passed to consumers when TXU Corp. requests another rate increase from state regulators. TXU warned that it would seek an increase in mid-July; but now that request is likely to be higher than anticipated. Electricity rates have already risen 46 percent since early 2002, largely because of the rising natural-gas costs.
About 50 percent of Texas' electricity is generated from natural gas.
FYI... (AMEP and CB is truly blessed to have acquired a big Ideco Rig to develop the 7,000 acres over the Barnett. Success and profitability is at hand for AMEP.)

PS: Good to see you looking hard, I think FASC turned you into a "Show me" investor! LOL! I know you still have some hopes for FASC, but I see too little too late and the Malaysia deals a big red flag, IMO. Too easy to hide money that way.
