Ask and ye shall receive. Tomorrow I would like to see $20/share (just in case Im on a roll here:)
Would be nice to see volume over 20 mill today. It would be a good indication of over buying.
Hmm, an announcement this morning and then a sudden drop in share price. This is a common trend as the market allows for 'friends and family' of the promotions company to load up. Look/hope for some huge volume today and the rest of this week - probably with little/no price movement. Then next week the PR is sprung and its up from there.

I have to agree with fff on his comment, those CEO's like to lather on the chocholate sauce. Talk is cheap, if there was somthing to report, go public, otherwise its all hearsay.
You cant possibly think that 50,000 shareholders calling the CEO is better than a PR? Mass marketing will do wonders for the stock price.
PS, no offense taken or meant. Im just bored 'cause the action has been very slow.
Is that why there is so much of a gap between .0075 to .009/.0095 and then to .012. Would be nice. I'll hold then. But not my breath.
Albert, your english has improved considerably:)
Not shy? Then he should tell me, tell us all. It is not our responsibility to spend our time and money to wrangle information out of him, he should be forthcoming. What is he afaid of? The stock price will go up? Down? I can understand that in 'the bigger picture' of a company's future certain information may be with held until an appropriate time, but there has been ample opportunity to keep the investors updated. A simple press release costs next to nothing.
3 months have passed since 'early March' production of e-water was announced, and no comment since. Oh wait, thats right, they dropped 2 other products. How's this going?
March 23 they announced they were going to a trade show. No comment since. What happened?
The Meritage Wines announcement was confusing at the least.
And the Wall Street interview is an outdated dead link.
For a man who clained he was going to save the company he sure is beginning to look like every other CEO of a pinkie.
Check out GTEL's history if you want to see how to save a company.
One of the first things he need to do is be honest and open.
The cancellation of Dr. Becker's interview can only mean negetivity for HEE. The interview was billed as to cover what Dr. Becker was doing moving forward, not about HEE. Yes Im sure questions regarding HEE would have come up, but they could have easily been screened out of the program. And why would HEE go so far as to apply for a summons against Dr. Becker? What are they trying to hide?
Tread carefully here all.
Been a lot of speculation regarding the lack of news lately. IMO it can only be a bad thing. Mr Corr has been to a trade show and marketing in Europe and no feedback. I can only assume he is hiding something.
My faith in any kind of significant price move is dwindling fast.
Hmm, looks a lot like a dead cat bounce last week? Although, last time it traded this much volume and hit a low, it jumped from .0015 to .0035 in a week. What will it be? (or was that the jump on Friday?)
lol, gonna be damn hard to keep up when its time for us to sell. On the other hand, with this type of volume none of us will be able to sell.
Aaanticipaaayation. Its making me wait.
Which reminds me of a joke. What 4 games do you play sitting on the biffy? Concentration, Aggravation, Hang on Harvey and Kerplunk.
Where's pegasus when you need him? Im sure he could twist the toilet reference into PTI somehow. I guess we're at the Hang on Harvey phase?
Hasher, how'd the jailhouse fry go? Get some licks in?
I think youre right on the money. In spite of what Bill said I dont believe the MM's are that much in the know. They seem to be fishing here, and yes, with no clear choice of what theyre gonna catch.
The suspicion is because BJW made promises (yeah, I know) for the end of Q1. Anytime BJ.
OT:
LOL,666, no that couldnt be a good thing. Although you did buy on Fri the 13th so would that have cancelled out any bad luck?
I wish gold would get on with it already and stop playing around between 420 and 450. Im loaded with small cap gold shares that are starting to dwindle in price. I dont know whether to buy more or just sit tight.
Lots of posters recommending GTEL and PLNI. I dont know, they kind of scare me with their O/S's, keeping in mind that GTEL is actually doing something about it. I might buy in after the consolidation and exchange change over, if the price sags initially.
I think there's lots of investors in your shoes. Summer is coming too. Id hate to see that put a damper on anything PTI starts.
Sooner is better.
Yaaaaaaaawn, is my quote pal even working today. 1 trade? Ok so the gap is still pretty big for this one but cumon.
In other news, and Ive mentioned this before, whats with the pink sheet stocks gettin killed lately. Now its starting to leak over into the BB stocks. Nobody's buyin on the big boards so what, is everyone just bailin and sittin on cash?
And yet no response from the market. Lets just hope its because no one has read the news yet. Another company I watch ran up 500% when they announced their promo company. Lets go HEE.
'The zoom will happen in anticipation...'
That is what im after. This stock will go farther on sheer euphoria than real hard financial numbers (even anticipation of that).
I watched a promo in 1998 where the stock price went from .20 to 25.50, in 4 days, on nothing but speculation of what it was really worth. (Same scenario - a ground/industry breaking new product). The first PR set it off followed by 2 more in the next 2 days, and it was off to the races. The stock only held those prices for about a week, falling back to below 10. Six months later, when 'real' contracts started coming in, the price stabalized around 5. A couple of years later they were bought out.
Its fun when it happens. Lets hope we all get out in good shape.
Ive seen this before. It is like and elastic being pulled back in anticipation of being shot. Bodes well for the 'oh crap I missed the boat factor'. Creates a buying frenzy. The harder/longer (but not too long) this gets pulled, the higher it will shoot when the good news comes out.
I have doubts though that the last pullback to .051 was the last chance for 'friends' to buy in, not enough volume. Of course I could be totally out to lunch if those same 'friends' have been buying and holding since the original TVA announcement. They usually dont hold that long in a promo though.
Cant wait to see what happens. News items of prototypes being finished, new testors being interested and manufacturing problems being solved could send thing soaring in a hurry. If all goes well Im thinking $5 - $10 before it settles back down. No, it doesnt necessarily mean its worth that much, but uncontrolled buying frenzies is what a promo is all about.
But no support under .08. And the asks are filling up between .10 and .15. Not sure yet. Somebody thinks something is up, but not everybody.
I like the theory but what would the MM's know from the inside? Would not any shuffling of their bids be either collusion or speculation at this point?
Thats what Im waiting for. The market seems to be on pins and needles too, doesnt know which direction to go. Had they released a battery to Nuytco and some testing results first they probably would have got a better financing deal. Still I am willing to wait, for this year, and again I will be surprised if nothing happens to substancially move the share price before July when the restrictions start to fall away from managements shares.
If no 'new' events materialize then this company will have only changed the way it scams.
Hope this isnt the 'paperwork' that BJW said would scare the MM's off. I like this better than the last financing, it seems to have more restrictions to prevent PTI from becoming a paper mill, but its not the huge deal I was hoping for.
Almost hurricane season again. I wonder if interest in this stock will pick up?
Yeah, only a few bids from .05 and a few asks from .10. errie.
I think crazy about covers it:) But seriously, there' a lot of good joes here, mostly intelligent but a few morons mixed in (fortunatly the biggest one is in jail).
Story in our local paper yesterday. Also noted in a related article (which I dont have access too), they said 'Alternative fueled vehicles (eg: a water powered engine from Ballard Power)) are still years away from becoming a reality.'
Oil at $50 -- so what? Energy users don't appear to be changing habits because of high prices
By IAN WILSON, CALGARY SUN
Consumers love to complain.
If our food isn't cooked right, we send it back.
If it costs too much to go to the movies, we rent a flick and stay home.
Yet, when it comes to energy consumption, we may gripe -- but we don't change our habits.
This year, some analysts predicted a "super spike" which would send crude prices over $100 a barrel.
While that view isn't shared by everyone, many energy researchers agree oil will stay in the $40-$50 a barrel range for at least the next year -- which means consumers can expect continued high prices at the pumps.
Natural gas prices hovering around $6 per gigajoule have also made homeowners feel the pinch from heating bills.
On top of that, sustained high energy prices can lead to increases in transportation costs, which can make food and manufactured goods more expensive.
With that in mind, you'd think people would change their habits. But that isn't the case, says Stephen Wuori, chief financial officer for Enbridge Inc., Canada's second-largest pipeline company.
"It's hard to say where the demand destruction is going to take place, other than at the margin where people make individual decisions about SUVs versus hybrid cars or whatever it may be," says Wuori, who drives a hybrid. "But en masse, it's hard to imagine that the demand destruction is going to be very dramatic."
Co-worker Stephen Letwin, vice-president gas strategy and corporate development, says the price of oil will have to go up dramatically before there's a backlash.
"What was the price of oil in 1981 in real dollars? It was $80," says Letwin, who drives an SUV. "I think if it hits $80, you'll really start to see it come back. I think you'll see a fair amount of consumption in that $50 range. I don't think there's many people cutting back."
Wuori agrees, saying consumers may not be happy about the high prices, but they're not panicking either.
"Growing up in the U.S., I would've sworn that they would need the national guard by now with gasoline prices at $2.30-$2.50 a gallon. That's sacrilegious, and yet everybody's accepting it," says Wuori, adding changing habits in India and China will continue to fuel demand.
"China's now the second-largest consumer of oil in the world and if you look at what's happening in India, like it or not sociologically, people are moving away from the traditional means of transport to automobiles, kind of like the West has done."
Robert Ebel -- the chairman of energy and national securities at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in the U.S. -- says Americans' refusal to make lifestyle changes means the country is putting its future in the hands of others.
"In the past, a policy to do nothing was acceptable. It would get you by -- that's no longer true," Ebel told an oil conference hosted by the Canadian Energy Research Institute last week.
"American consumers spend very little time thinking about our dependence on foreign oil. That's left to politicians."
Ebel, who served with the CIA for 11 years, as well as the federal energy office, doesn't think U.S. President George W. Bush's energy bill will reduce that dependence.
"We are heading in the wrong direction," says Ebel. The solution, he adds, is "saying goodbye to the internal combustible engine." But he fears that will be a long goodbye.
Renewable sources of energy -- solar, wind, geothermal, etc. -- accounted for 8.8% of U.S. energy production in 2004. That's down from 9.3% 20 years ago.
While hybrid vehicles are a good start towards better energy demand management, Ebel says they're too expensive to mass-produce and to buy.
"There is much we can do in terms of balancing energy supply and demand," he says.
"Are you prepared to make changes in your lifestyle? The jury's still out."
Hmm, PUGS just put an ask in at $11? I'll take that price.
Ok it was about an hour ago(I keep forgetting the time exchange).
There seemed to be buying though right after it fell. Does anyone have the trades showing at ask?
Yay, we're the #13 most popular board today. Well done all. Thats gettin the word out:)
At the very least we all have some great conspiracy theories here. Keeps the board entertaining. Sometimes I wonder with how smart we all all at figuring these things out, why we're all in the hole at this point. Gawd I hope we're right one of these days. The lottery tickets arent working so hot lately.
Sorry, I meant the Sentry testing, and yes I know theyre small time too, but its a start. There was also some talk early in '05 that some testing was already going on, anyone remember that?
As for JJ, be he not the greatest marketer yes, but he still did make a trip to China and it might not be that hard to convince some former contacts that LB is gone and the battery technology is even better than it was 5 years ago.
The next PR's will tell the tale.
Price seems to be firming back up to .06?
PS, I like investors who bail out on insignificant bad news. They are likely to buy back in when the stock is rising, furthering the price movement. Never underestimate the power of 'Oh crap, I was wrong to sell' and then they try to get back in, at any price.
1/2 mill shares so far is a fast start, but I prefer to wait for a whole day, at least. Many shares were bought in December and this could just be some of those folks bailing, I wouldnt call it a dump or major bail out yet.
When I look back at the past 3 months there are really only 2 stories that are significant (TVA and Nuytco), so I wonder what drove it up to .19 during that time? There wasnt a lot of trade activity then either so if it was for dumping purposes, why didnt they capitalize on it more?
Management shares are locked up till June/July, I expect to see something major happening before that. I cant believe they would lock in for that long only to sell at 3 cents again. The wind is still blowing IMO.
Keep in mind also that a sign of a promo about to start is a sudden drop in the share price and then large volume caused by their friends getting in. Might be wishful thinking but still a possibility.
Protect us from the death spiral? (am I thinking of the right one?)
Well, and this is just speculation but here goes. It is the end of the first quarter, is it possible that the prototypes are ready, the first round of mystery testing has been done and the results are positive, JJ did his marketing job real well and someone else has shown interest in getting this thing going, and TVA is ready to rumble?
Nah.
But I do look forward to the next few PR's.
Ok, so let me get this straight:
'such withdrawal is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors'
Theyre doing this to protect us?
'No securities have been sold in connection with the proposed offering'
So much for the touted dumping theory.
Am I to assume then that something bigger and better is on the horizon? Hmm.
LOL - I guess he won.
You had me scared till those last 4 words! but yes that would be nice.
Here's one: Imagine if the company held a 'Name the battery' contest and gave away free shares to the winner.
BTW, Am I the only one who entered that? Im still waiting to hear who won.
Note this is not intended to be directed at you personally Megahertz but I always have to wonder when someone does this. Do we really need a car (of any kind (ok, for auto racing sports)) that goes 300mph? I think most would be happy if their car just starts in the morning:) I fail to see the usefullness of such a test.
Thanks Caradoc, interesting site.
I still like EPYH, have mentioned it here before. Its a good one to play, between 1/2 and 1 cent on a fairly regular basis, with potential to break out this year. Its sitting low right now, looks like management has finally found direction and is comitted to making something out of it. (Either that or I should be committed?:)
Checked our spam filter, still getting emails for YPIL:)
I just realized that within the article it says Yap was started up in Nevada and operates out of Vancouver! Hmm, where have we heard that one before?
I suppose if one is really on top of things, carefully places their orders, and has some serious luck, you could make some money off these things. As you pointed out they do usually make a spike although be it usually a short one. Too risky and too much work for me.
We get spammed regularly at our office on all kinds of these too. Im the IT guy so I run throught the spam filter every day. Probably about 20 a day come through. YPIL has been one of the most common.
