It sounds good but I wonder if that will be much of an improvement. Most rechargeable batteries at present require a solid 100% charge to work 'well'. EG. Power tool batteries with 'quick' chargers dont hold that charge as long as ones with chargers that take hours. Clarify - if your charger has the option of charging the battery in 8 hours, or a quick charge of 1 hour, you will find that if you use the 8 hour charge the battery will take longer to run out with use.
That has been my experience. Also note, I work in the construction industry and have had comments from contractors as to which rechargeable tools they like the best. They almost always go with/recommend the long, slow chargers and buy several batteries so they can continue to work while the charging is happening.
Just what Ive heard.
These guys have been making promises twice as long as PTI.

Now thats worthwhile money. Continues to make me wonder why they'd bother to nickel and dime PTI.
That is news to me!
OT, have you seen peggy's latest pump on RB NVEC. He says its going to $100! Fails to mention it was once $175! Same old, same old. All depends on where you got in.
I know in Canada you are not allowed to short holding from a retirement account.
Lets not all forget the big picture. Some of the latest posts are getting down on themselves because they didnt recognise something they could not possibly have known. Or predicted a move or a PR. Those are all day items and in the small picture.
Assuming we are all small time personal investors here, we are at the mercy of just about everything that can go wrong in the market - and the positive things as well.
No one could possibly have known that the listings on foreign exchanges were for covert reasons, just the same as none of us know whether Sentry is really for real, is actually testing a battery, what the MM's are up to in their positioning, or when the next news item will come out. We just have to take it as it comes and make the best of the situation then.
What we do know is the the stock is showing signs of life again (the same way it did before the last run)and BJW has hinted that news is forthcoming. Might happen, might not. Might be tomorrow, maybe next week. We also know the promo is supposed to start with earnest in April. Is it coming or will it be another dud?
So just hold on tight, some sorta ride is a comin'.
Nice job logman. Im sure we'd all love to see the shorts get caught with a huge price increase. Double our fun.
I read this on a poster from RB, thought it would apply nicely to us here.
"Naked Shorts don’t kill good companies, good companies kill naked shorts"
-- Mark Cuban, Owner Dallas Mavericks
Trades few and far between now. Waiting?
Have you noticed how quiet he gets on RB when the stock price is moving up? (and quick to jump on it when it goes down).
Yep, agreed. I was just funnin about Sentry. Got cachet all riled up though. As previously reported, no one should be buying on anything that is posted on a board.
I agree with your previous post, this is how the last rally began. And common for a promo. Wind up the friends and family, the rest of the market jumps into the upswing, news comes out and SELL. I think we will see this happen many more times this year.
There are 2 types of promos.
1. To create a money making upswing for a garbage company - in the end the bottom completely falls out.
2. To create a more stable share price foundation for an up and coming company to stand on. Opens up more financing and listing options. In the end, if it works the company ends up with a share price in the $5 range.
They both can look the same in the begining.
My belief is that PTI is trying to create the latter by running a promo and coming out with a product to support the promo. The price will really start to move when PR's with substance are finally issued.
Well, since it seems that they are less than 1 year old, Im guessing they may not even have any sales.
But, to break my own golden rule I will repeat once again. I am willing to give PTI a chance for this year. Since neither of us know anything about Sentry, we should not criticize until proven otherwise (who knows, maybe Sentry has connections elsewhere. Other than that, you take whatever you can get to get your product out to market). Sure I would like PTI to be testing with some major international battery conglomorate with 100 billion in existing sales, but this is what we have right now. If PTI was a major battery player with a $10 stock, I would expect that. But this is what you get with OTCBB. Maybe trainz should call PTI to get a battery and get APC on the case as well? That would be great.
Mr Walter has never said that we'd all be millionaires this year. He said he will take steps to get the battery into production and sales. He appears to be doing that.
Please save your speculations on whether a company is real, or good enough or whether this is all just for appearances sake, for when PTI declares bankruptcy (or at least until you have solid proof). Then you can gloat all you want. In the meantime, we've all heard those comments over and over already.
PS, I know of very few Fortune 500 companies that started at the top (if any). Everyone has to start somewhere. Call them yourself if you want more detail/assurances.
The green arrows are showing up again in the last hour. Lots of orders have jumped from the .09 range to the .13 range. Must be a reaction to Mr Andrews confirmation that Sentry is real? :)
PS Thanks for doing that Mr Andrew.
Buy now, still a bargain at any price under 1 cent.
Empyrean Holdings Inc. Reports Positive Progress for the Acquisition of Tradewinds International Corp.
HOUSTON
Empyrean Holdings Inc., Houston
Robert L. Lee, 713-260-7236
www.epyh.com
Empyrean Holdings Inc. (OTCBB:EPYH) is pleased to confirm that all work needed to complete the acquisition of Tradewinds International Corp. is progressing well. With the 10KSB filing completed, management, working closely with legal counsel, is committed to completing this acquisition as soon as possible.
On completion of the acquisition, Tradewinds will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the corporation that will continue to actively pursue the real estate business initially in the top resort destinations in Florida.
Pickin on everyone would be more correct. I find it quite humorous how he goes on about how one person cant make a difference and yet posts as much as he does. Wonder what he thinks its gonna accomplish. Today he posted 'bites' of information that was previously posted on Ihub - but he conveniently left out some key info. He seems bent on sabotage in whatever form he can do it in. I wish I had that much time on my hands. Hafta wonder if anyone out there believes anything he says.
Thank you logman for your comment on RB. I was just about to suggest someone put that boy in his place again.
Hmm, lots of green up arrows on the level 2 after close again today. Something coming?
I like the references to Canada being an open market. VNTB should be looking at this.
"Financials: Nearly $1-billion (U.S.) worth of energy drinks sold in the United States in 2004. In Canada, $6-million of the beverages were sold. Experts say that could surge to $100-million over the near term."
Thats lots of market share to go around.
Oops, hate to be this guy (so far no good). From Wealth Daily.
"Scores of oil experts still are sure that 2004 was an aberration and believe, some with passion, that 2005 will finally see a return to normality in oil markets. This belief presumes that growth in oil demand will slow in conjunction with a significant supply response. Obviously, this combination of events could occur, but it is hard to find any factual data to support how demand could stall while supply soars. Unless one or the other (or both) happen, the oil markets should remain tight or tighten further than in 2004." -Matthew Simmons, March 1, 2005.
--------------------------------------
The thing that gets me about oil is that for 2 years now the US has been claiming a shortage in reserves and OPEC has been raising production. So where's it all going? (yeah I know, China, heard that one already; and those damn terrorists blowing up the wells isnt helping things either). As many have pointed out in the past, we wont know, until its too late.
And dont even start on H2O. It is next in line on the soon to be endangered natural resource list. We are already hearing reports of drinking water shortages, and with rivers drying up, hydro will become endangered (not my words). Wish I still had those articles to send you but my hotmail account is overloaded (sign up for one #$@#$! newsletter...). The articles came out about mid February from either Wealth Daily or Investment House, I think the latter. Maybe someone else has them.
Yes I agree things have changed since the early 90's. More oil has been found, but then again we are using it up at a much higher rate now. The key to your comments is economics. Where is the line drawn where oil is not a feasable natural resouce anymore? As for the rest of the natural resources, could you do something about gold prices. All the experts have got me loaded up on gold stocks yet they still languish behind.
Yet remains the answer for airlines. What do they do when the 'cheap' fuel is no longer available?
The good, the bad, and the ugly. A little bit of everything in this article.
http://www.globeinvestor.com/servlet/ArticleNews/story/GAM/20050321/RCOTT21
Getting those reports here too. Had a conversation with friends over the weekend about the rising fuel prices. One person said he'd heard back in the early 90's that present oil reserves would not last past 2010! This comment apparently from an oil company spokesman. It got us to discussing what the alternatives are. Certainly cars and trains can go to battery power. Large boats would probably have to resort to steam again (small boats could use battery power). But the biggie was airline travel - what is their alternative fuel source? Pretty hard to stash enough batteries in the cargo hold to make a plane fly!
They are looking at another complex.
The market is worried about how they are going to pay for the purchases. PR's stated a share swap, but how do you swap shares that are worth 1/2 to 1 cent? Dilution. IMO its a little early to brand this one a dog, they are just entering the new line of business. Time will tell, its either a real bargain at this price or the howling is about to begin. Im in pretty cheap so Im ok for now but I have other friends who are buying at these prices.
Sorry, found a level 2 volume right here on Ihub (no quotes though). A couple of large trades (315000) at .0014 and .0013, but straight up after that.
That was quite a price swing this morning. But it might be good news. A wild swing like that is 'sometimes' a sign of changing direction (a reshift in open orders suddenly causes a void in the bid and a stock plummets into the void only to come straight back up when the bids are reentered and become stronger). I believe we hit bottom today. May stay here for a while though but there should be good support from here on.
If you were lucky you may have got filled at the dip today. A friend of mine was 'fishing' at .0015 and got filled on the swing. Nice. I got filled at .0019.
Anyone know where to see level 2 for this stock. I would be interested in seeing how many shares actually traded at those low levels. Im betting it wasnt many.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. eom

Where do you get your conspiracy theories from? And what selloff?
I think the product change has scared a lot of people off especially when you consider they had previously announced distribution in early March. That quite an about face. Then the O/S increased to 1 billion in January. Thats a lot of downside to absorb.
It was early March when things started to go south. Hmm.
Good news item this morning. This should give it at least a solid foundation if not some upward momentum.
Certainly was! Up 70% for the week!!! Here's to the same next week.
I see MM JEFF has moved his ask to .25. Fishing?
Personally, I think someone had an order in at .20 and just got lucky/unlucky when the ask dried up for a second. It happens. JMO.
IHUB has one trade at .20 - 5000 going thru about 12:58. thats one fast trigger finger!
IHUB chart now show the same thing?
OTCBB chart shows trades going through at above .20, but the stats say normal activity at .14 - .15.

I cannot believe that after 1 short day my profits are all gone again and Im back in the hole:( I could swear I only had one beer last night. Was it all only a dream?
Not to worry. Bigger things to come.
Remember the good old days when we used to wonder if we would see 5 cents again?
Now we're hoping to see 12 so we can buy back in again! HA!
;)
I know youre just kidding but dont even think that. Momentum will run out eventually, and tank quickly. TVA's promotion coupled with actual product development, release and sales will really make this stock price skyrocket. If the company can produce even some results we will see some serious numbers this year. Now that some of the old crowd are actually breaking even/making money, lets keep this going, for whatever reason it takes.
I cannot believe that after 5+ long years, most of that spent in the hole, as of todays close I am up 5.2% on this thing! And that includes what Ive lost in exchange rates being up here in Canada.
Im goin for a beer. (I guess buy and hold does pay off:) HA)
Dunno about that. It spiked pretty good at close yesterday (sans the last trade). I'll take 'profit taking selloff' to as low as .12 by Friday for 1000 alex.
Some great momentum going though, me thinks lots of new blood coming in.
Too bad though, as the bid dries up the MM's will make a killing shorting it back down. Hopefully there's a PR on the horizon to support this run.
