amarkii, Trader, Technoman,
Thanks for your inputs. It does look like .28 was today's bottom.
One man's weeds is another man's garden.
Averaging down is one way to go.
Before doing that thou, I would think you would want double check the fundamentals first.
People do liquidate for a lot of reasons. Whoever it is, they sure do have a lot of shares.
Hi Trader,
I bought more when I thought the bottom was .45, in fact, I was very proud about the move. Afterall, it was close to the price the insiders bought at.
Now we have a new bottom.
I feel like I would be catching a falling knife.
Are you buying more now?
technoman
The price is dropping for a reason. Do you know what it is?
I cannot ignore the possiblity of someone with more knowledge than you or I have may be selling. Sometimes stockholders are the last to find out. I hope I am wrong.
Well, I guess there's alot of people that dont believe based on yesterday's and today's volume/price action. I don't necessarily blame them for selling and ouch it hurting my account.
We each have to look at our own situation and decide what to do.
The lastest press release and the lastest insider buys are fundamentals that would indicate positive expectations, not this price decline we are seeing.
So the question is...what are we missing?
Obviously the price reflects information we dont know about.
The trend continues down inspite of known fundamentals. Ouch.
This hurts!
What a major incentive...
"The plasma gasification technology to be used would produce no emissions, making the high-sulfur coal that is plentiful in the county desirable, Sparks said."
No CO2 emissions!
When will NSOL get some respect?
If they keep following thru with what they are currently doing!
At some point the price will follow!
Why be in this stock?
Here's a youtube link on "Addicted to Oil" for those of you that might not have seen it.
Grrrrr
How many more days like this do we have to suffer thru until...
NSOL shows us the money!
BTW, weren't they supposed to change their name?
Lots of volume in the last five days...
9/6/07 0.465 0.47 0.44 0.47 411,976 0.005 1.08%
9/5/07 0.47 0.48 0.45 0.465 395,244 0.005 -1.06%
9/4/07 0.47 0.475 0.46 0.47 382,848 – –
8/31/07 0.499 0.499 0.465 0.47 211,898 0.03 -6.00%
8/30/07 0.46 0.50 0.46 0.50 587,223
Question is...does it mean anything?
Wouldnt there have to be a SEC disclosure if an insider was buying?
Lets hope volume preceeds price.
Seems theres lots of shares available at current pricing...
I have been able to pick up a number of shares over the last few weeks with a .45 buy limit.
Hey Gator,
Getting kinda lonely in here as a long, huh?
I still remember your "balls of steel" pic...lol
Agree with you on patents...I personally think if they tied this sensor technology with some other sensor technology and some software algorithms they might have platform for detection of a lot of things including radiation.
But what do I know?
If NSOL really has a series of press releases coming, which do you think they would put out first?
Funny how they didnt reference a patent # on today's release, would seem an obvious thing to do, no?
Bought another 45k shares myself today
Thanks for keeping the price low bashers.
Good luck to all
Hey Techno,
Thanks for the info.
I am curious why Fred would put this information in the public domain prior to a press release.
I am also curious why the stock price isnt heading up if it were true.
Three pumpers left?
Thats a laugh. The people claimed to be "pumping" have been invested in this stock for some time and have been very candid about their positions.
To be a "pumper" you also have to be a "dumper" when the stock rises. Theres much better stocks than NSOL to play that game with.
As for myself, I have be very open on both the positives and the negatives. I dont see that as pumping. I am long this stock. I have no hidden agendas and my motives are clear. I certainly wouldnt recommend this stock for the faint of heart.
To compare this stock to a major oil company is a joke...this is a bulletin board stock where the risks are very high. Everyone should know that going in.
I classify a "basher" as someone that never makes their motives clear, poses questions that cant be answered, and spends much time posting on a stock apparently "for the benefit of investors". Nothing new with that strategy. I am sure they dont do it for their health or to generate good karma. They obviously benefit when the stock falls, perhaps they make money everytime someone posts a response to their comments. Maybe I just made the basher some more money...lol
On the otherhand, who knows, maybe they are penny flippers making 10% between the lows and highs,
Now on to more important things...like Linsey Lohan getting another DUI...lol
Energy from waste...
Sorry, I just can't ignore the potential win-win if NSOL prevails. Like many longs have stated, theres too many data points indicating that this is not a fraud.
I for one still believe in investing part of my funds in something that shows a positive direction in making our country more energy independent instead of giving our petro dollars to countries that would do us harm. Too bad our politicians for the past 30 years havent had the foresight to do so!
Call me a fool for investing in something I believe in! Come on Herda, pull this off and show our friendly bashers the exit door!
$100 Oil Price May Be Months Away, Say CIBC, Goldman (Update1)
By Mark Shenk
A woman pumps gasoline into her vehicle July 23 (Bloomberg) -- The $100-a-barrel oil that Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said would prevail by 2009 may be only a few months away.
Jeffrey Currie, a London-based commodity analyst at the world's biggest securities firm, says $95 crude is likely this year unless OPEC unexpectedly increases production, and declining inventories are raising the chances for $100 oil. Jeff Rubin at CIBC World Markets predicts $100 a barrel as soon as next year.
``We're only a headline of significance away from $100 oil,'' said John Kilduff, an analyst in the New York office of futures broker Man Financial Inc. ``The unrelenting pressure of increased demand has left the market a coiled spring.'' New disruptions of Nigerian or Iraqi supplies, or any military strike against Iran, might trigger the rise, Kilduff said in a July 20 interview.
Higher prices will increase revenue for energy producers from Exxon Mobil Corp. to PetroChina Co., while eroding profit at airlines including EasyJet Plc and railroads such as Union Pacific Corp. The U.S. and other oil-importing nations risk accelerating inflation, while higher energy costs threaten to restrain growth.
Benchmark crude oil futures ended last week at $75.57 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, up 51 percent since mid- January and twice the level of early 2003. A record number of options have been sold that give the buyer the right to buy crude oil at $100. The contracts, covering 50 million barrels, only pay off should oil go above the target price. September crude futures fell 89 cents to $74.90 at 11:16 a.m. in New York today.
Goldman's View
Arjun Murti, a New York-based Goldman Sachs analyst who covers oil producers and refiners, roiled markets in March 2005 with a report saying prices could touch $105 a barrel during a ``super spike'' period because demand was stronger than anticipated. Price swings might also go as low as $50, Murti said at the time.
Currie, Goldman's global head of commodities research in London, is predicting that oil prices will probably touch a record and stay at unprecedented levels for months or years. The all-time high for Nymex crude futures is $78.40 a barrel on July 14, 2006.
``Ultimately, the key to the outlook going forward is when will Saudi Arabia ramp up production,'' he said in an interview. ``If you have a situation in which inventories globally get drawn to critically low levels, the volatility in this market is likely to explode, which significantly increases the probability of $100 oil.'' Oil might slip to $73.50 if OPEC were to start producing more now, he said.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries is scheduled to next meet in September. No members have called for a gathering before then. A decision to raise output at that time would lead to greater supplies toward the end of the year.
Accelerating Demand
The failure of near-record fuel prices to restrain global oil demand growth is what concerns Rubin, chief strategist at the brokerage unit of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in Toronto.
``Prices have doubled, and demand is alive and well and accelerating,'' Rubin said in a July 18 interview. ``The argument that rising prices would choke demand and bring increased output is falling to the wayside.''
A National Petroleum Council study led by former Exxon Mobil chairman Lee Raymond, released last week, predicted a growing gap between production and demand for oil and gas during the next two decades. As recently as 2005, Raymond said oil prices had probably peaked and dismissed the possibility that supply and demand could not be brought back into balance.
``There are questions about whether the oil industry can keep up with demand,'' U.S. Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman said last week, commenting on the Petroleum Council report.
Gasoline Sales Rise
Gasoline pump prices averaging more than $3 a gallon across the U.S., the consumer of 25 percent of the world's oil, haven't dented sales. Deliveries of gasoline were a record 9.23 million barrels a day in the first half of this year, according to a July 18 report from the American Petroleum Institute in Washington.
``It appears that high prices are acceptable to the American consumer,'' said Robert Ebel, chairman of the energy program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. ``People want the house with a yard and white-picket fence so they are moving further and further out of the cities. They have to just get up earlier and drive further.''
Outside the U.S., demand increases are being led by India and China, where growing economies mean more cars and trucks and more factories that burn oil and gas.
Consumption between now and the end of the year will increase by 3.6 million barrels a day because of seasonal shifts. The rise is equal to the daily production of Kuwait and Oman combined, and it comes after OPEC twice in the past year cut production to support prices.
Rising Costs
The cost of finding and pumping oil is rising steadily, convincing analysts such as Rubin and Deutsche Bank AG chief energy economist Adam Sieminski that higher prices will last. Shortages of deepwater drilling ships and rigs has pushed daily rents to records, and the skilled workers needed to run rigs, weld pipes, pilot vessels, fix refineries and build oil-sands projects command ever-higher wages.
``Three years ago we were calling for $30 oil, then $35 and then $40 oil,'' said New York-based Sieminski, who last week raised his forecast for the average price of oil in 2010 to $60 a barrel from $45.
``I've gotten tired of increasing these forecasts in $5 increments,'' Sieminski said in an interview. ``Something has happened. Costs have continued to escalate, and the geopolitical situation has gotten worse.''
The $60-a-barrel forecast for 2010 is 15 percent higher than the average analyst forecast, Sieminski said. The projection probably will turn out to be too low, he said.
Oil prices could triple in three months to more than $200 a barrel, given the right circumstances, according to Matthew Simmons, chairman of Simmons & Co., a Houston investment bank.
`Still Cheap'
``Oil is still cheap,'' Simmons said. ``In the 20th century, with a few exceptions, oil was almost free. The only exceptions were during 1973, 1979 and when Iraq invaded Kuwait.''
Prices rose in 1974 after an oil embargo that followed the Arab-Israeli war and from 1979 through 1981 after Iran cut oil exports. The average cost of oil used by U.S. refiners was $35.24 a barrel in 1981, according to the Energy Department, or $79.67 in today's dollars.
While crude oil prices are approaching the records they set at this time last year, not everyone is convinced $100 crude will happen. From their peak, oil futures began a six-month slide. They got below $50 on Jan. 18 before rebounding.
``The risk parameters are somewhat different than a year ago, however the overall situation is similar,'' said Tim Evans, an energy analyst at Citigroup Inc. in New York who correctly predicted a year ago that oil prices were at a peak. ``We've priced in a shortage that is not evident yet.''
Pickens' Opinion
A pullout from Iraq may be the event that pushes oil to $100 a barrel, according to Boone Pickens, the Dallas hedge fund manager who has joined Forbes Magazine's list of billionaires because of his bullish bets on energy prices. Pickens predicted a year ago that $100 oil would probably occur by now. Today he is looking for $80 within six months, and he says growing chaos in Iraq would be a bad sign. ``That could run prices pretty high,'' he said.
Goldman Sachs's Currie also notes similarities to a year ago, with global inventories at about the same level and U.S. government data showing an increasing bet on higher prices.
``At face value this market is strikingly similar to a year ago,'' Currie said. ``What is different? Supply is down a million barrels a day, demand is up a million barrels a day. The market is in a deficit.''

31 posts by contrary2u in the last month and counting...
obviously theres a vested interested on contrary2u's part
I don't believe Herda would have bought 100s of thousands of shares on the open market if somethin wasnt brewing
good luck to all...pro or con
Coal as feedstock
wondering why coal waste is not being considered as a primary feedstock (at least not based on last NSOL press release) Perhaps its not the highest ROI?
Anyway, what about the sludge thats left over after processing? It might also have some value beyond the plasma gas..
Here's a company that claims it will recover uranium from coal ash
http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/news_press_release,135978.shtml
It does beg the question what could be done with a plasma system. I remember there was also some talk of using nuclear reactor waste water with the plasma system
seems there might be several winning situations here
Oil hits 11-month high above $76
By Javier Blas, Commodities Correspondent, in London
Published: July 6 2007 11:00 | Last updated: July 6 2007 11:00
Oil prices rose above $76 a barrel on Friday to the highest level in 11 months amid renewed unrest in Nigeria and production cuts by Opec, the oil cartel.
Low US petrol inventories ahead of an anticipated surge in demand during the summer holiday season provided additional support.
ADVERTISEMENT
Analysts warned that further rises were likely as the Nigerian militant group responsible for most of the attacks on the oil industry called off a one-month truce. Attacks had cut about 25 per cent of Nigeria’s oil output.
Costanza Jacazio of Barclays Capital in London said: “The situation in Nigeria is flaring up again.” The kidnap of a three-year-old British girl in the Nigerian oil city of Port Harcourt exacerbated the tension.
Frederic Lasserre, head of commodities at Société Générale in Paris, said: “In the short term, everything points up for prices.”
Shell, Nigeria’s largest foreign oil producer, said that it would not restart production in a key sector of the delta region for the rest of 2007 as insecurity persisted.
ICE August Brent, seen as the best gauge of the oil market, surged to $76.01 a barrel, just $2.5 a barrel below the record high. It later traded up 78 cents to $75.52 a barrel.
The price increase was accentuated by traders closing bets of a fall in prices ahead of the weekend. The fear of new attacks in Nigeria during the weekend forced the traders to take such action. US oil futures were up 74 cents at $72.55 a barrel.
The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, which controls 43 per cent of global oil production, has so far resisted western calls to raise production amid high prices.
Leo Drollas, chief economist at the London-based Centre for Global Energy Studies, said: “Opec appears unwilling to contemplate raising output before its September meeting, a policy stance which will push prices higher.”
Since Opec started to cut its supply at the end of 2006, oil prices have surged by more than $15 a barrel. But oil demand, nevertheless, has been robust thanks to strong global economic growth.
The International Energy Agency, the industrialised countries’ energy watchdog, forecast global 2006 oil demand growth at 1.7m barrels a day, up from 0.8m b/d in 2005.
You have to admit, this time its bit different because the CEO has purchased $300k+ of NSOL
BTW, show me a successful person that didn't fail many times before making it.
Seems to me they have outlined a better plan than what they had. Too bad I have been sitting on dead money for over a year..
Now if they would just put out prs showing execution to the plan, maybe people would start believing them again...
Seems their tone has also changed on keeping stockholders updated...

Oil Briefly Hits $70 a Barrel
Thursday June 28, 9:46 am ET
Oil Futures Hit $70 a Barrel on Supply Concerns
NEW YORK (AP) -- Oil futures briefly hit $70 a barrel in New York trading Thursday for first time since Sept. 1 after a government report showed that gasoline inventories dropped unexpectedly just as the summer driving season is about to hit its peak.
Light, sweet crude for August delivery gained 96 cents to $69.93 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after rising briefly above $70. The front month contract last settled above $70 on Aug. 31
About time we saw a correction...question now is how low will it go???
Remember Pennsylvania?

Governor Rendell Applauds House For Approving Two Energy Measures
in News Departments > Policy Watch
by NAW Staff on Monday 25 June 2007
Governor Edward G. Rendell, D-Pa., praised the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for overwhelmingly approving two major components of his Energy Independence Strategy.
According to the governor's office, the chamber voted 138-60 to approve House Bill 1202, which mandates new ethanol and biodiesel standards, and voted 129-69 to approve House Bill 1200, which makes use of grants, loans and tax credits to alternative energy manufacturers and energy-efficient companies to promote development.
"Pennsylvania took a major step towards energy independence tonight," says Rendell. "After rigorous debate, members of both parties came together to support our plan for strengthening Pennsylvania's economy and environment. The fact that these bills passed by with more than two-thirds of the vote illustrates a strong level of bipartisan support, and a recognition that we must do more to protect our state's energy future and create new opportunities for our men and women."
Rendell urged the House to continue work on the two remaining bills of his Energy Independence Strategy: House bills 1201 and 1203.
Cmkxman
Thats funny, they are definately on of my list of possible picks.
Just not sure about the fundamentals. I don't like or understand this sell...
18-May-07 SMITH JAMES B
Officer 3,415,585 Direct Disposition (Non Open Market) at $0 per share. N/A
Theres lots of negative comments on message board which mean we make have hit bottom
Still, its a good choice vs what else I can find
NSOL CEO buys $323k of NSOL on open market
Now there's a worthy press release!
You can't ignore it if you believe in "following the money" as I do.
Up-Down, could you update the box to include this information? TIA
I think everyone here has to agree that the chart technicals don't agree with this one big fundamental fact. Still shaking my head about that. Amazing. I have to admit I had become very negative about this stock. Now I am looking at it in a totally new light.
Good Luck to All
cmkxman, I expect an upside and then a another downtrend until pending news release drives it up (I hope)
Also waiting for SNRN to drop, if it drops...lol
Both with large insider activity, both energy related.
by your own rules, you should be looking at this stock
http://xml.10kwizard.com/filing_raw.php?repo=tenk&ipage=5009731
Bought more based on Herda buys
and have a limit buy waiting for a drop
call me crazy
Accumulation this time much stronger than last...
7.4M vs 1.75M
If the new stockholders hold, it will take a lot more selling to bring down the 7.4M accumulation vs 1.75M Its possible if mms try to walk it down though
So the question is, who are the buyers? Traders or investors?

How does your broker determine what "suspicious" is? That seems strange to me.
Normally you worry more about a stock thats a pump n dump. Where's the pump? I don't see anyone pushing SNRN. Thats what I like about this.
Lots of volume for first hour
I was waiting for a pull back, but now I am wondering if I will see one before we discover why everyone is buying.
Got to love a stock going up with no online pumping.
I want some of what Techno is smokin
Why ANYONE at NSOL would be laughing about their stock tanking is beyond me.
I guess they dont care?
Hey Techno,
Thanks for the number, I might try calling him myself later.
I think we all have to agree its kinda hard to be happy when we are at 52 week low. Perhaps I too will feel better after talking to him. On the other hand, talking hasn't done much for the share price
SNRN continues upward with little attention from the online message community...I like it.
Waiting for a pull back to buy some more.
Alternative energy...which does NSOL belong to?
Answer: NONE Too bad they are dropping like a rock, damn shame
I would like to cost average, but it seems it would have been better to sell and wait for a further drop...sad
Alternative sources of power
Coal
There are still an estimated 909 billion tonnes of proven coal reserves worldwide, enough to last at least 155 years. But coal is a fossil fuel and a dirty energy source that will only add to global warming.
Natural gas
The natural gas fields in Siberia, Alaska and the Middle East should last 20 years longer than the world's oil reserves but, although cleaner than oil, natural gas is still a fossil fuel that emits pollutants. It is also expensive to extract and transport as it has to be liquefied.
Hydrogen fuel cells
Hydrogen fuel cells would provide us with a permanent, renewable, clean energy source as they combine hydrogen and oxygen chemically to produce electricity, water and heat. The difficulty, however, is that there isn't enough hydrogen to go round and the few clean ways of producing it are expensive.
Biofuels
Ethanol from corn and maize has become a popular alternative to oil. However, studies suggest ethanol production has a negative effect on energy investment and the environment because of the space required to grow what we need.
Renewable energy
Oil-dependent nations are turning to renewable energy sources such as hydroelectric, solar and wind power to provide an alternative to oil but the likelihood of renewable sources providing enough energy is slim.
Nuclear
Fears of the world's uranium supply running out have been allayed by improved reactors and the possibility of using thorium as a nuclear fuel. But an increase in the number of reactors across the globe would increase the chance of a disaster and the risk of dangerous substances getting into the hands of terrorists.
