Agree, mnfats- I'm with Joe. AMEP wells first.

Hawk, GREAT new DD!...
Would you break your $82 million Barnett revenues estimate down between oil and gas, please? It has been said that this will be mainly a gas company, and of course the Barnett is renowned for gas rather than oil. TIA.
These crooked MMs have it down to .045 from .049 earlier, and they have the bid at .041.
No posts today???
Yes, I know 7000 is what's been said here and on RB forever, but why did one of the PRs say 8000 ... just a typo (without a correction)?
Hawk, since the number of Barnett Shale acres leased is an important factor in valuation, perhaps next time you speak with Charles Bitters you could get clarification on the number of acres. In one PR he was quoted as saying 8000 and in another 7000 (see below):
Charles Bitters, President of American Energy Production Inc. stated, "Bend Arch Petroleum Inc. has accumulated over 8,000 acres of leases that have potential Barnett Shale production. The Company is very aggressive in locating and acquiring leases in the Barnett Shale area with the plan to drill and produce these properties while the prices of natural gas and oil are at record levels."

Charles Bitters, President of American Energy Production Inc. stated, "Bend Arch Petroleum Inc. has accumulated over 7,000 acres of leases that have potential Barnett Shale production. Bend Arch Petroleum Inc. and Oil America Group Inc. of Dallas, another 100% owned investee of AMEP plan to offer drilling partnerships to potential investors to drill Barnett Shale wells on the above mentioned properties in the near future. For more information contact Joe Christopher at Oil America Group Inc."

Gtimm0, thanks for posting the followup...
As you said, gotta trust the experts.
Thanks, ctb! You'd think they could update their website PR list!

$50 - 1500 per gram.
I've been reviewing PRs for the last couple years, and I just realized I didn't see the investees' production reports for the first or second quarters of 2005. Am I missing something here?
Hi Dread, and thanks...
Yes, Rochester area, but as I recall the QB suffix was what AOL assigned to me quite a few years ago.
I follow Biophan keenly, and am heavily overweighted in it in my "speculative portfolio". I do not own TOVC. I follow it a little because (and I am trying to be kind here) the happenings in and around it become "curiouser and curiouser".
As to the closing prices observation, possibly your suggestion of a tendency use round figures for limit prices applies here. But in my case when buying or selling OTC BB stocks I generally use the ask or bid prices, or shave pennies between. Just seemed to me to be another interesting TOVC phenomenon. When the expected percentage of closing prices ending in 0 or 5 over 7 1/2 months is 20% but it turns out to be 82%, it's even "curiouser".
Manipulation? A curious phenomenon, to me at least:
TOVC's closing price should be a multiple of 5 cents (0 or 5), statistically, only 20% of the time.
Of the 159 trading days since the first of the year it has closed at a multiple of 5 cents 82% of the time (130 days).
It has also seemed to me (no statistics) that very often it closes with an upward move toward the end of the day. This suggests to me the possibility of MM's systematically biasing the closing price up to a multiple of 5 cents.
How else to explain it?
Gtimm0, Good to hear; thanks, awaiting further details.
Sorry (eom).
EP, what did BIPH just bounce off of, and could this be the start of a big boosh?
Looks like all of RB down this morning/eom.
Unknown, I've said this several times,still believe...
We have terrible branding, extremely confusing even if a consumer was looking. Excuse my frustration, but what the hell is an aero2bic mouse? Does it hover mid-air? Oh, or is it the Quill mouse, that what...has a feather on the end? And, BTW, who the hell is Designer Appliances? Let alone Torby Holdings?
Please validate that I'm not brain-dead! The company's name, and the product's brandname, since they are quite narrowly focused, should immediately inform the consumer of their focus and benefits, IMO. These do the exact opposite!
Look Unknown, I'm long here, and very nicely into BIPH thanks to you. I'm astonished that no one here responds affirmatively to my posts about this. Please raise these thoughts with Tom and post his reactions.
Good post, Hawk ...very informative. EOM

Beigledog -- tall, graying, glasses, too heavy about the middle. BTW, very interested in how NaturalNano goes public, and at what price (very cheap I hope).
Very sorry about the double post ... my fault.
Beigledog, if you were seated next to Mike R. then I was right across the aisle from you. Would have liked to meet you; you're a good DD researcher.
All my shares are from 0.22, fwiw.
Wookie: "What is a few days?"
Daredguy may have captured that better than me: "couple of days" instead of my "a few days". Someone else can confirm either way.
Some meeting notes:
-MW began saying German acquisitions expanded Biph significantly
-Much of the meeting devoted to Friebe, Bucker, and Melzer presentations about Biophan Europe, their backgrounds, and technologies they bring to Biph
-Observation: they are young, gifted and well-educated -- IMO outstanding additions to our management team
-See PR on "strategic initiative to enter high-growth market for cardiovascular devices"
-MW didn't say much more than is in the PR, other than to say it is possible Biph may manufacture devices
-Since BSX deal announced all major device cos. have called
-Discussions range from "showing signs of enthusiasm to groveling" <much laughter>
-BSX exclusive on stents and vena cava filters; non-exclusive on MRI interventional tools, pacers, ICDs, neuro-stimulators
-Answers to some RB questions:
--competition from other imaging modalities: Friebe summary is MRI has no major competition
--competition from not-metallic stent materials: metal stents are the mainstream; resonant circuit technology improves even polymer stents
--competition in contrast agents: basically MW said there will be multiple products from multiple cos. in the market
--number of NDAs: "a lot"
--number of product samples to other cos.: MW mentioned that a second pacemaker lead has been sent to another co. (if he said more I missed it)
--discussion of Siemens "interventional MRI" machine (I think that's what it was called): Friebe said it's only 0.2 Tesla so regular surgical implements affected less, but image quality is poor; Melzer added, "a magnet is a magnet" - there's still danger
-Other MW comments:
--pacemakers "are beginning to be in play"
--exchange listing application ready, just waiting for the money, which will be in a few days (sounds like Amex IMO)
--"not prepared to do SBI share registration"
Hope these are reasonably accurate. As Daredguy has already done I'm sure there will be much more from the other people.
It was great to meet many of the RB Biophanatics. Huge regret is I didn't get a chance to meet Renman or Zen.
I suddenly cannot post on RB (eom).
Thanks for the NanoDynamics report, Beigledog....
Reinforces my feeling that NaturalNano will be more important for ALMI than ND. Too bad NN wasn't cooperative. You'd think they'd be very interested in courting a large group of potential investors (this board) through you. Thanks for trying.
Jagman, you don't know what you're talking about. Read the science at biophan.com.
Beigledog, I have a sense that NaturalNano is going to be a far better fit for Atlas than NanoDynamics. I'm interested in three things from NaturalNano:
1. Are they in the talking stage with potential customers for their 200+ commercial applications of the Halloysite nanotubes? How many? When do they expect to begin placing orders for sample quantities for these potential customers?
2. Does NaturalNano ever expect to perform the sorting and classifying the nanotubes themselves, or will they license Atlas from the outset?
3. Anything and everything you can learn about NaturalNano going public this year. In particular, by reverse merger?
Have a good trip and thanks!
Hi Unknown ... who said "our sources indicate"? (eom)
SEC requirement, Jagman.
Unknown, a question (thanks for all your DD):
You say you are waiting to add more TRBY on strength. For a less experienced or disciplined investor like me, what are the signs and levels of strength that will make you add more?
Jagman ... no, YOU are wrong. Shareholder of record is a well defined term. Look it up; inform yourself. Perhaps you've heard of Google?
Wald, sorry but I don't follow you.
"If the halloysite reserve is established at 600,000 tons, the price for new investors would be about $75 a ton."
I'm unsure what you mean here. Please clarify for me. Thanks.
PurlGurl - "looking to 2.50 to 3.00 per share profits"
Do you mean EPS or your PPS profits?

I probably should add at these junk prices, but it just seems like throwing good money after bad.
Very likely I'm wrong about SEC confidential treatment...
This is from an SEC Bulletin discussing requests for confidential treatment of information otherwise required in regular filings:
"In addition, confidential treatment is generally not appropriate for information that is material to investors. Depending on the facts and circumstances, examples of material information could include the name of a key supplier, material contingency clauses, indemnification clauses, anti-assignability clauses, take-or-pay clauses, and financial covenants in material financing or credit agreements. Materiality must be analyzed in the context of the issuer's business, financial condition and financial results. Where there is any question about the materiality of the information, the application must address the issue and provide factual support for the issuer's belief that the information is not material to investors."
http://www.sec.gov/interps/legal/slbcf1r.htm
I think they can request SEC's "confidential treatment".
While I've come across the term several times I cannot provide a definitive link. I'd be happy if someone else could, either way.
