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.

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.

HOUSTON, Mar 15, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Empyrean Holdings Inc.

Agreements for the consummation of this acquisition, that will make Tradewinds a wholly-owned subsidiary of the corporation, is under preparation for signing as soon as possible.
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.

Daily Commentary
Our system posted a WAIT today. The previous SELL recommendation that was confirmed was made on 02.25.2005 (12) days ago, when the stock price was 0.0860. Since then PWTC has gained 40.70% .
Glad I didnt listen to them. (doesnt even include todays gain)
The difference between 1929 and now is everything. Its a whole new world. Every day, month, year, decade the world economy is changing. The point is that people have been saying for forever that its all gonna end. And yet we're still around. I hear what youre saying and agree with it for the most part but to say there is no 'higher'. Someone will find a way.
EG - if interest rates even double from today's rate there will be huge losses in the realestate markets. Businesses will go bankrupt and millions of folks will lose their homes. And yet they said the same thing in the 70's when rates were 15%+. And yet we're still here.
You and I can take all the theories, data, whatever, and interpret it all to a 'T', but we cant make it happen. Only one thing will make me believe it will all end. That is when it actually does.
Nice. Whats with the sheep anyway? Jumping for joy or is there a fleecing reference there?
LOL - do I see rising sales in the bubblegum market!
Nice support in the 15 cent range.
Yeah we're actually recouping about 40% of our money over the 2.5 years we've been playing. Still waiting for the big one though.
Brokers are funny eh? We ask them for advice on what to trade and yet very few of them are rich themselves.
#1 key to staying rich (if you suddenly win big in the lottery or market)? Dont spend the principle. Its that easy.
Whew! Always entertaining cachet. Thats a lot of questions. I'll do my best.
Yes I play the lotteries. I run a pool in my office with 32 other fools:)
Been to Vegas once. Too much to see to bother gambling.
Penny stocks are definitly like the lottery. But to date no one has shown me another market that makes any more sense. (I am about 40% in pennies, 60% in 'good' stuff (yeah right, good stuff. Neither is getting me rich, but the pennies are winning).
I cant help what companies do to develop their products or run their companies. Doesnt mean I agree with it.
Work force economies are in serious jeopardy. Big implosion coming if industry doesnt correct itself. Remember Japan in the 70's? Where are they now? The word toilet comes to mind. Interest rates are negetive. New business is non existent, and all the money that is made is from exports because they have no market within the country. North America is headed in that direction. (I suppose you'll tell me that my holding a position in PTI is adding to the problem?)
Stock market rises are always a percentage of hype. Whats the real value of any company? Market value? Whats that mean?
As for big market corrections and the markets never coming back, that has been said by many since the crash of 1929. Everyone has been wrong every time so far. If you bought in the valleys you are filthy rich by now.
You ask good questions, but ones that have been asked many times before. My former broker used to say "If I had the answers to the market Id be living in Bermuda right now"! In the meantime, nothing in life is without risk, lottery or market. The best stocks get trashed from time to time. The worst ones go up for no reason.
I have a Money magazine from 1992, with the 500 most promising companies of that year. How many are still around today? One - Lucent.
When you find that thing in life that is without risk you let me know ok.

Power Technology Inc. (OTCBB: PWTC - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=PWTC.OB )
Power Technology Inc. today announced that it has retained TVA Productions to develop and launch a national media campaign that will focus on building awareness for Power Technology and the Company's unique, patented battery technology.

To target radio audiences, a 30-60 second radio news release will be professionally recorded and distributed in script form and on CD to 6,600 radio stations for use on regular news, music and talk shows.
So much for lack of strength. This thing will move fast at times.
Nice to see it break .10 finally. Not much strength showing though, only 1 bid higher than .10 at the moment. Would be a great time for an announcement having just broken a psychological barrier. Next barrier at a buck?
HAH, mostly green arrows on every stock I quote! In light of hasher and zenvestor's posts I wonder if the MM's think the gig is up!
It is strange. There seems to be a lot of 'positioning' going on, still. How long can that last. Check out the level 2 this morning, full of green arrows on both the bid and ask sides! Something coming finally? PPS having trouble breaking the .095-.10 range, when it does I think there will be a big run. JMO.
Note new news item. Purchase of 'a' condominium, as in 1. What gives? I thought they were buying an apartment complex (Dec 17 release)? Sounds like a vacation property for the CEO. I have lowered my expectations now.
OT - anybody know anything about ANWM? I received a mailer recommending it. You can repy to seidi_test@hotmail.com.
