Why is this EESO price so low??? If you haven't seen it, the 3/12 Daily Show with Jon Stewart had Jim Cramer on it for the entire show.
One of the things they talked about is people manipulating stock prices for their own personal gains at the expense of a good company.(i.e. go short, put out untrue bad rumors, force price down, then buy back the shares for more personal gain). They also talked about other causes of our economic mess. It's worth watching.
Sort of what a few posters here like to do. GLTA
Transcript from TODAY Show in reference to green cleaning products. Note this statement in the transcript, "consumers purchased $290 million worth of natural household cleaners and supplies in 2008."
If wowgreen meets their target of selling $1 billion of EESO's products in 18 months, they will by themselves sell approximately $660 million worth of household green cleaners in a one year period. If they can pull that off, EESO shareholders will be very wealthy people, IMO!! GLTA
Do you know what’s in your cleaning products?
Separating nontoxic products from those claiming to be green can be tricky

Like many consumers, Lindsay Allen places a priority on using green products to clean her home, where she lives with her husband and two small children. Her desire to use environmentally friendly products grew out of an incident that happened when she was a young girl: Her father was injured on a job where he was exposed to toxins.
“It really led to just kind of a heightened sensitivity in me, in creating a toxic-free environment for my family,” says Allen.
For others, the choice to use green cleaners comes from a desire to do what they feel is best for the environment.
And the business of green is booming. According to SPINS, a market research and consulting firm for the Natural Products Industry, consumers purchased $290 million worth of natural household cleaners and supplies in 2008. But separating truly nontoxic products from those simply claiming to be green can be tricky for some shoppers. First of all, “green” is a marketing term. There is no scientific definition of what that would mean when it comes to household products.
This could change in the future. The Federal Trade Commission is in the process of reviewing and revising their Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims, also known as the “Green Guides.”
For now, the FTC’s Consumer Resource for Sorting Out Green Claims states that: “Claims that a product or service is ‘environmentally friendly,’ ‘environmentally safe,’ ‘environmentally preferable,’ or ‘eco-safe’ .... are unhelpful for two reasons: First, all products, packaging and services have some environmental impact, although some may have less than others. Second, these phrases alone do not provide the specific information you need to compare products, packaging, or services on their environmental merits.
So, how can one best determine which products are the least toxic? It’s a question that’s complicated by the simple fact that companies are not required by law to disclose to consumers every single ingredient contained in their products. Some cleaners feature partial ingredient lists on the package, others list no ingredients at all and still others make information available only through their Web site or a toll-free number.
Environmental groups like Women\\\'s Voices for the Earth are pushing for full disclosure so people who are interested in learning about the potential health and environmental impact of certain ingredients can understand what’s in each product.
“There are about 9,000 chemicals on the market today that have not been fully tested for safety,” said Urvashi Rangan, senior scientist at Consumers Union. “That’s not to say they’re all dangerous. It all depends on how much you’re exposed to and for how long. But a better rule of thumb to go by is just using less to get these jobs done.”
The industry insists all their products are safe when used correctly, even those that contain stronger ingredients and have “warning” or “caution” labels. It is recommended, however, that some people, like those with asthma and certain allergies, avoid these stronger products.
“The most important information on a cleaning-product label is the safety and usage information,” said Brian Sansoni, vice president of communication and membership for the Soap and Detergent Association. “Cleaning products are safe when used as directed. There is a huge amount of research and development and testing that goes into cleaning products before they ever hit the store shelves. The fact is, millions of people use cleaning products safely in their homes every single day.”
Finding the safest products
For those who want greener products, Rangan says you want to look for the lowest number of ingredients. “It’s helpful if you can recognize what some of those ingredients are, and I mean beyond ‘plant-based materials.’ What are those plant-based materials? And if there are some questions in your mind and you have some cleaners at home, do some Internet searching. The NIH does have a database of all the chemicals that are out there, and you can look up and see what the actual health effects might be.”
Rangan also recommends looking for products with the Green Seal logo. “It’s not on a lot of products, but it’s a solid, independent verification program with really good standards behind it.”
Still, the WVE and other environmental groups have pressed the industry to disclose more. Recently, the Soap and Detergent Association, along with the Consumer Specialty Products Association, agreed to new, voluntary guidelines that will give consumers more ingredient information. Those guidelines take effect in January 2010, but due to proprietary concerns some ingredients will still not be included and can be folded under such categories as “fragrance” or “preservatives.”
Anja Rudiger, board member for Women\\\'s Voices for the Earth, says her organization is not satisfied. “What WVE is working toward and what all the women that we work with are calling for is national regulation, is a legally required action to disclose all the ingredients in cleaning products, and that includes every manufacturer, whether they now declare themselves as green or not.”
Sansoni responds: “There can be a hundred or more components that go into the makeup of just one fragrance. Can you imagine trying to list all that information on a product label? Our voluntary guidelines are consistent with what’s already out there governing cosmetics, and yet we’re still providing more information than any law that’s already on the books in the United States.”
On Thursday, at least one company took steps to meet these calls. SC Johnson, maker of such products as Windex, Shout, Pledge and Glad, announced they will list all of the ingredients in their products. The company\\\'s Web site states that this will include dyes, preservatives and fragrance ingredients. “Fragrances will be shared by listing all ingredients that could potentially be included in the fragrance. This approach helps protect the proprietary details of the specific formulation of individual fragrances, which are a trade secret and competitive advantage for SC Johnson and its supply chain.”
The information will be made available via labels, a dedicated Web site and the company’s toll-free phone number. The rollout of this information will be complete by January 2012.
In an effort to force ingredient disclosure by other cleaning product manufacturers, the environmental group Earth Justice has cited a long-forgotten, 1974 New York state regulation requiring companies to file complete ingredient lists (and any related scientific research) with the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation.
Earth Justice put manufacturers on notice and a handful complied, including the makers of Simple Green and Seventh Generation. Last month, the group filed a lawsuit against four major cleaning manufacturers that did not file these disclosures with the state: Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive, Church and Dwight and Reckitt-Benckiser.
The Soap and Detergent Association responds that the lawsuit is “unfounded, lacks legal standing and its claims are not supported by state law. Further, the challenge ignores efforts by industry to offer more information than ever before about cleaning products and their ingredients.”
Making cleaning products at home
Some people who want to be absolutely sure about the ingredients in their cleaning products are choosing to make their own. In fact, the WVE has sponsored “Green Cleaning Parties” across the country, hosting about 4,000 people since they started in March 2008.
Consumers Union also tested several recipes featuring basic ingredients, like baking soda and vinegar.
“When it comes to this product area, and knowing what you\\\'re using, and knowing how hard that is to do out there because of lack of disclosure, using ingredients that are in your kitchen pantry can actually be a really effective way of dealing with a lot of cleaning chores you have around the house,” Rangan said. “While they may not have the ‘oomph’ of all the industrial-strength cleaners out there, when you clean more regularly, they can, in fact, be effective enough to keep your house clean.”
The one caveat is that you should always use a fresh batch. Homemade products don’t always keep as well as traditional cleaners.
For Joyce Silberberger, the choice to use homemade cleaners made sense. “It makes a difference, it’s cheaper, and I feel like I’m doing my part to save, save the earth for my grandchildren and their children.”
Quinn, your a bigger person than me...I'm to the point of why bother trying explain things to these posters...How many posts did pilot make today to ant, without success?? I wish you luck...
Dude.. in regards to your statement "But nobody wants to talk about that stuff, they just want to count the future profits and cash", I think you should read about the last 96000 posts....it's all been talked about...is your last name Lang??
do your DD... I think he clarified that in the past at one of his past conference calls.
I agree.. but it will have nothing to do with technical or fundamental analyisis. It will be because I'm moving 10K into my TDA account, and I won't be able to access it until wed. at the earliest...and there's no way the stock gods will keep EESO at this price for me to get a good deal, LOL! GLTY
I'm in, just tell me what shots do I need.
Grin, Thanks for the post. I'm happy their are others that feel as I do. I think some people have to trash other people in order to feel secure.
I lived out of a bag semiannaully for 19 years, and I know it takes its toll on people. At some point you just say the benefits aren't worth the costs and look for other means of fullfillment. GLTY
Well I'm finally getting frustrated... not because the pps is so low, but because I bought 1.5 million shares last week, and I could have got almost double that amount if I had waited...ARGGHHH!
I only hope Jared had an emergency meeting of the board of directors (he's the only one on the board)and voted to up the buyback to 100 million shares. GLTA
ZN, excellent post... I'm a half full guy, except I believe the glass is closer to full full! GLTY
dude...I thought we were done with this conspiracy theory...Find a new one!
Rddawg, I second your suggestion...All those in favor say "I"... All those opposed...leave! GLTA
I just got home and caught up on todays posts... To all the doomsdayers out there...well we found out that the TA is not gagged, and that Bill White officialy left EESO on good terms, and for personal reasons(why is that so hard to accept).
So can we finally put those two conspiracy theories to rest. The sooner we do that, the sooner some of you guys can come up with new conspiracy theroies in an attempt to push this stock down. Have a good day!
Is it possible he missed the OH because maybe he was on an important assignment for the company...
I was thinking the same thing earlier...but, I wasn't brave enough to write it.GLTY
Well if EESO is good enough for Obama at thse low prices, then it's good enough for me, LOL!
Hillman's right. The switching of transfer agent's doesn't happen over night... Think about how long it takes for your ach transfer to clear from your bank to your broker, or how long it takes to refinance a house through your same bank, or transfer your account from one broker to another, etc, etc...Let's drop this conspiracy theory and move on to another one already! GLTA
Did it smell like money at the OH because Allie and team were there....OR were Allie and team at the open house because they smelled money... Just some food for thought. GLTA
I'm don't think I attacked you. I think I said if you can live with anyone knowingly giving false information, more power to you. Right or wrong, I was raised not to knowingly mislead people. But now your saying I can't post my opinion on ethics because I'm attacking you (which I'm not). I apologize..from now on please tell me what to post so it is in line with what you believe. eom
Also, what's a gut (stomach i guess) from germany have to do with anything,lol!
It was his second open house!! Please quit spreading false information.
Big Mind's right we need auditors!!! Can someone call up indymac, merril lynch, bears stearns and see who they use as auditors??? Those auditors are probably looking for work right now, lol!
All the longterm holders should be up.The people who just bought in the last month are probably down...but they'll recoup their losses alot faster than us who got in a year ago.
camerona,thanks for the post.. I did some rough calculations last night, and I got numbers very similar to yours.. Makes me feel confident my math is correct! glty
LOL!!!LOL!!!LOL!!
I just called my sister to tell her to cancel her sell order at .10...I had trouble holding the phone! GLTY
Eddiiieee.....Eddiiieee.....Eddiiieee....Where are you Eddiiieee!
I'm so exicited, I actually asked my wife out on a date tonight....to a really expensive restaurant!! LOL!
Okay, everyone stop what your doing and hold your hand out in front of you and tell me... is it still shaking as much as mine is!!!!!!
Jared said in the CC he would love to pay a dividend. at 40% profit margin, that's 54 million net income for 2009, or about.032/share. If he wanted he could take some of that and pay a dividend. Just a thought for those of you looking at the short term instead of the long term. 1 million shares x .01 dividend= $10,000! GLTA
I agree!
Scel 20, You might be right on the uplisting...but leave the guy alone..he's got alot of irons in the fire as it is, and he just made alot of us alot of money...all in all he seems to know what he's doing. GLTY
Holy S%*#! I was being a smarta@# the other night when I predicted $117,562,254.23 in revenuesfor 2009. I guess I was wrong!! God, it feels so good to be wrong!!!!!!!
Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I'm a millionare!GLTA

Enzyme Environmental Solutions Estimates in Excess of 100M for 2009
Outlook Exceeds Management Expectations Based on Product Order and Licensing Fees
FORT WAYNE, IN, Feb 26, 2009 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Enzyme Environmental Solutions Inc. (PINKSHEETS: EESO) has set the stage for a breakthrough year by harvesting technology and vendors in medical, commercial/industrial and retail product formula lines.
"It's been a tremendous year and we're not even finished with first quarter. In addition to the recent coup secured with our exclusive retail partner, we've been underway on innovative solutions for medical and industrial sectors in addition to the successes we've had with Pit Solution and GC 2000 technologies," states Jared Hochstedler, CEO and President of the progressive green biotech company. "We have reviewed existing licensing agreements and product orders and have been conservative with received Letters of Intent and projected manufacturing orders and biotech licensing requests from several commercial vendors in sectors anywhere among the steel industry, medical fields and water treatment, among others and have estimated, moderately, projected gross sales are in excess of $136,000,000.00 ($136M) by end of 4th quarter, 2009. This does not include pending prospective contracts with Southeast Asia and the multitude of formula applications therein."
Hochstedler continues, "We have worked diligently to secure alliances worldwide as part of an overall global strategy, introducing formulas and other biotechnology IP and took a risk in doing so; but it wasn't for a lack of vision. This was a large move I felt strongly about pursuing based on several vendor inquiries. The traditional model of simply getting products onto store shelves wasn't big enough for our overall mission: 'Cleaner world. Safer planet.'... It was an overall deliberate shift in market focus and distribution avenues on the retail side... and aggressively pursuing government agencies and entertaining solution requests from vendors internationally."
It's certainly paid off for EESO. The company recently released financials for Q3 and Q4 of 2008 on www.pinksheets.com and was upgraded to a 'limited information' company. EESO is currently in the process of fulfilling Pink OTC requirements toward 'current information' status as part of its promise to increase transparency and overall investor confidence as it paves the way for continued success and growth in the Green Biotech market internationally.
The company looks forward to sharing news of this forthcoming progress at tomorrow's Open House event at their Fort Wayne, Indiana offices.
