just got back from my cruise thought I would check in. well another letter is out. awesome more records being set. business is just growing like crazy.just keep holding them shares and of course buy some more like I plan on doing. by the way I thank your sister Obamination.
for some odd reason, pipe liner you have always misconstruded my posts.if losing your ass on your investment and not gaining but losing your money is your idea of out smarting other investers then go for it.certainly not my idea. there is nothing wrong with asking people questions , that is the whole purpose of this board.but some seem to stick there noses in other peoples post like you, and thunder. it did not pertain to you at all be a daddy to your children , but not to me oldtimer. no respect for you anymore.
thank you for the warning Mr. Ihub policeman. we are all grown ups here and know all about the subject you are speaking of. when the questions were asked recently about insight into the company. it was already calculated that there would be no answers. it was out of boredom .but I knew and I'm sure Fred knew .that no one is going to appear on this site and know the answers to the questions that we seek. stop being so serious.
go back to your frigging bank office you geek, you don't need to tell us us any rules around here,the nerve of some people. geeze!!! the poster has no information to share at all only opinions just like like you and me, this is a dark company until Andy decides to change that. were thats frigging letter at.
thanks Fred! you know what they say , hindsight is 20/20. we just didn't know. but now we do.
darn Fred, you scared him off.oh well he probably had nothing anyway.by the way I'll go ahead and say it for you if you don't mind...... where the hell is that shareholder letter?
thanks for coming back with a response, and I truly mean no disrespect, so please don't take it that way, but everything you just said has been said here, year after year after year.hashed over rehashed, argued over , a couple cyper punches, we have heard it all. so like I said no disrespect. but you will be really helpful around here if you could provide your opinion on the valuation of this company only because you have been out there working around all these people.we are info starved.glad to have you here anyway . if there were a buyout offer made it is not up to Andy to have sorry feelings for his team that came with him.besides they have a ton of stock at .o8 so they are in the green anyway. he must do his fudicuary duty and do what is right for the shareholders.afterall this is what happened at U.S.Filter, he did just that.
welcome to our nightmare.LOL seriously welcome to the board, yea we've had this board going for a long long time. some have come some have gone,but for the most part there are a few stuckholders holding on.some pretend to know everything about this company and were its going. others like myself don't know a damn thing, don't think though that IPO thing is gonna happen, most likely a buyout.just my opinion though.Pictet owns 56 million shares , they bought in 2007.so they will be looking to cash in someday, thats the only reason why I have held all these years, following the smart money.Mark would have had this over a buck by now.Don't know if it deserves it. but a PR every now and then got things moving.so whats your take on this ? does this deserve to be at .15 cents since you have seen things that we haven't. what value would you put this at?
there not one poster on this board or any other board that has helped my portfolio balance,nor hurt it either. only one person has certainly helped it and that was Mark S. love you man.nuff said,
precisely !!! no one knows nothing, especially Andy's next move. it could be good for us or it may be bad for us,all that IPO talk kinda got on my nerves we been there done that way to many times over the years.yes he is a great asset to the board I agree,but sometimes comes across a little to strong. by the way any rumblings lately?
Obionekinobenation = queer
how do you know the fundamentals have not changed? you don't you nothing more than any of us. and you do speculate by mis leading people about an IPO for which you have no knowledge of. keep it real here MR. downward pressure on the PPS is never good. these prices are yearly lows why the DOW flys high. I am not selling but your know it all attitude sucks.
could be Andy leaving for SWT, Could be someone cashing in those .08 cent shares. could be someone else won the bid on the big job. it could be anything no one knows, we are all in the dark.
well it sure isn't a sign a IPO is coming , so that subject can be put to bed .
3 more years in my opinion, 3 more long years. reason Pictet should hold for 10 years then expect a return, they bought into this in 2007, so just my opinion 3 more years to build.and thats 3 more years to buy and accumulate.which I plan on doing.
our shares would be worth whatever the IPO shares would open at.but like you said (if it ever happens).there would be a reverse split first to get the .15 cent shares up to $15.00. so if the IPO (if it ever happens)opens at $21.00 you just made $6.00 per share.6cents pre split.just an example. but if the public ever thought that a IPO (if it ever happens)was truly going to happen the stock would ramp overnight.hope that helps.
Looks like an IPO isn't going to happen since the company is basically backstroking in green money! so why would they issue more stock to get more money if they don't need it? also I doubt Andy would sell us unless a very, very, very handsome offer was made. so then how are we ever going to get a payday around here? I can only see a special dividend happening now, and thats a big IF Andy and the BOD feel sorry for us. any thoughts on how we are ever going to get paid?
company is shaping up to be a real contender. well the wait goes on, when we the shareholders finally do get whats coming its going to be worth the wait.double digit growth, so undervalued gem of a stock and investment.
you were so right in saying we are objective. all this talk about an IPO well its been going on for years, I'll believe it when I see it. I sure hope that audits are taking place that would be a good thing, but hardly the reason for a delay in writing a shareholder letter.a few quarters back we waited and waited, the next quarter came around and they combined both . remember? the fact of the matter is we all are speculating and have opinions.that means everyone on this board no matter how much experience you have, you don't know Andy's next move.so speculate I will Thunder.I'm hoping for more buying of company's like he did at U.S.Filter, that would imply the same result.
shareholder letter this time last year came out mid Feb. now we are in March . this is not rocket science here, hopefully he will release one soon, but it is not held up because of any year end audit.if that were the case all reporting company's would come out late . but they manage to come out with earnings in a timely manner all the time, quarter after quarter, year after year.and they actually have the public to worry about also. not here though,
what financial audit? what reporting? do you quite possibly have this stock confused with another. as far as the BOD goes they already know everything there is to know, we including yourself are the only ones in the dark here.
most of us are objective this is true mainly because in my view we should of turned the corner a long long time ago,from what I can tell by the posts no one and I mean no one is selling there shares.yes there are disgruntled shareholders out there, I've been known to complain a little also, but haven't sold a share. this is what I mainly meant , no shorts or sellers a rare site on IHUB or any other board.we all know what we got here. a winner!!!more time needed but it will prevail a winner!!!
can't you just feel the love? its nice to be part of a board were there are no shorts or naysayers. I personally have never owned a pink were everyone 100% thought it was a good choice to buy and hold.
just a hunch! but I'm wondering if the new owners of SWT broke some of it apart before the ink dried on the deal, and quite possibly UGSI may get some leftovers.shareholder letter sure is taking its time. anyway just a hunch.
I would be one of those that are into this heavily based on my income, if the wifey only knew. one day she'll thank me!
I was kinda of hoping for more than just organic growth, while at US Filter as you know the growth came from buying up tiny company's one by one. with 700 million shares outstanding . it would seem we have a ways to go to reach $1.00 a share just from organic growth.thats almost a 1 billion a year company.but with no financials to look over, we could be anywhere in that range.organic growth is better than no growth though.slow and steady.
one day I'm sure we will all profit from this long, long journey.amazing to myself how much I thought I knew years ago. but didn't know nothing.A humbling experience. I still have faith in Andy as the best in the business.
If this next shareholder letter has nothing new to offer such as another buying up of a smaller company,like Mobile Pipe. or any word related to such activity, well the growth story of growing this into a giant conglomerate like US Filter and the share price soaring to $15.00. well it will be just a dream that just isn't gonna happen. as far as this technology that UGSI does posses at this very time. yes its good , yes it will eventually begin to be used more and more.but not in this generation, therefore we can only hope for a buyout for say .50 cents a share.Mark Smith did the right move by making Andy CEO.but really now this isn't the holy grail and a big money maker like we thought it was going to be.that said I am still following the smart money.(Pictet)they bought into this in 2007, so I guess it goes unsaid that they are invested for 10 years, then will look for a return. so 2017 is my target year. all of this is just my opinion and only that I have nothing to base this on.in my honest opinion only.
Is Pictet selling? well you all know the answer, no!!!. let me be the voice of reason here. when you see millions of shares being traded to the down side well then its time to go change your fruit of looms. these trades of late mean nothing. 700 million shares outstanding. we hardly ever see 100,000 shares traded daily.
it sure can play tricks on your mind. but I am sticking with my convictions that Pictet is a hell of lot smarter than me, when it comes to investing, and I have now problem saying that, so I'm following the smart money to the end.
They finally did it. good job Andy!!! now you can find a suitor to buy us for at least .75 to $1.00 a share.
Thanks for the update h20dan, I was wondering about this, hopefully Andy will tell us more in the next shareholder letter, no reaction though to the pps. I'm sure you know that.if Mark S. was still in charge he sure would of let the investment world know.that would of been a big fart right pipeliner. going forward from your experience in this industry we now have all the certifications needed . am I correct?
Fred, just hang in there, don't lose sight of your dream, I know just like you do we thought this was going to payoff a long long long time ago .but we all can't be wrong, especially big brother Pictet.in at .22 remember that.Ive be sharing messages with you a long time here, I know damn good and well your not selling anyway.Andy and crew aren't getting any younger either,the inevitable must happen my guess the latest 2015, we will be bought or trading as a public company,Dow approching 17000.Pictet will be a winner not a loser in the end, and so will we. have a good one.
this is true, however the Feb. shareholder letter again I will say this ,Andy said shareholders would see enhanced prospects in 2013. did you see any enhanced prospects? nooooooooo!neither did I , dosen't that concern you ? I am not ready to go on a ANDY bashing spree like Fred, I still like this company,but there is nothing wrong with doing DD and trying to reach out to the rich Fund Managers just to ask a few questions, nothing wrong with that at all,
so basically what your saying is you don't have the balls to contact the biggest shareholder of this company and talk to them shareholder to shareholder. jeeze!!! I'll do it myself.
most of those license agreements over the years turn out to be duds,not just this one. not Marks fault.
well actually Pictet should not be privy to any insider information period. just like everyone else, thanks for clarifying you are not a stock analyst , but a financial analyst.what ever that is. hell we are all that in some way.I was not asking you to obtain insider info, I was asking you if you could obtain information about there opinion and outlook for this tiny company, that was all. man is it easy for people to get things twisted.
well that maybe true about us here, but I don't think Pictet parked millions of dollars here to dream about making bigtime profits,they will eventually cash in.its inevitable to happen.
Hey Thunderman since you claim to be a stock analyst ,and I have no reason to doubt that claim. but if you truly are. is this out of the question for you? since you decided to join us and as you can see we are all thirsty for some information that will give a glimmer of light. that said will you contact the Fund Manager at Pictet,tell him who you are, share that you are a stock analyst and a shareholder of UGSI. use your profession to ask them there if they can share there outlook, they are at the end of the day one of us, a shareholder...anyway what do you say?
lol!!! I don't even play,
