MVCO IPO of Readymix Coming Out RMX(AMEX)
Here is a link:

Hoping for low float pop on IPO.
Kipp
cl001 I think it just depends on the market. As long as the market holds together I think VPHM will make the #'s and continue higher. With good news from pipeline and Shering P. I think we might get a pop we're not expecting. We can hope right!
Kipp
Bob, I'm trying to look under every stone with VPHM because I have an abnormally large position that I haven't trimmed. I am hoping for the rare long term gain like we had (still have in your case) with MDF. I don't see anything that could derail this runaway train at the moment, but it's always what you don't see coming that will get you!

I knew better!
I couldn't come up with a 6th pick I really liked so I took a look at what was getting a lot of chatter and went with WHAI. I never owned it for "real", sorry to see what happened to those who did. What I do own a bunch of was not allowed, DNO.OL and PAR.OL because of foreign issue. I didn't think my NGS would move like it has...so that's what I get for doing no DD and just going with what some unknown guys were posting on an internet "chat" board!
Kipp440: ASPN.ob, CHAR.ob, MVCO, UCIA.ob, VPHM, WHAI.ob
45.12% still aint bad even with -86.5% down on WHAI. Diversify!
Good Luck.

Got it Bob, just longer term options.
C. dif is really scarry stuff. I hve been doing a bunch of reading on it and it could spread to the old folks homes with a vengence. This is a good general FAQ
http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/hospital-infections/clostridium_difficile.html
but it doesn't mention oral Vancocin. I think we are sitting on a BIG winner here! Too bad it is at the expense of really sick people BUT the drug saves millions of $ that would otherwise be spent on treating people for 2 or 3 weeks and even then a bunch of them would die from it. I look at Vancocin as a life saving drug that will save millions or billions of $s.

Canadian Diamonds!
Another underground hedge against inflation and a falling USD. Shore Gold + Kensington Resources!
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and Vancouver, British Columbia -- August 15,
2005 -- Shore Gold Inc. (TSX: SGF) ("Shore") and Kensington Resources
Ltd. (TSX-V: KRT) ("Kensington"), two of Canada's most advanced diamond
exploration companies, announce that they have reached a definitive
agreement to merge. Under the terms of the agreement, Shore will offer
0.64 Shore common shares for each common share of Kensington. Based on
the closing price of Shore on August 12, 2005 of $5.45, this offer
values Kensington at $3.49 per share representing a premium of 35% to
Kensington based on both parties' respective 30-day average closing
share prices and a premium of 45% to Kensington's closing share price
on August 12, 2005.
"This is a truly synergistic combination that achieves our strategic
goals and further consolidates the Fort à la Corne diamond trend under
one public company. Both shareholder groups will have an unparalleled
opportunity to realize the growth potential of one of the largest
diamond fields in the world. We intend to aggressively pursue the
development of the Star property and the adjoining FALC ground with our
joint venture partners and to fully maximize the potential of the
region. Our goal is to create an exciting long term future for all
stakeholders," said Kenneth E. MacNeill, President and CEO of Shore
Gold Inc.
"The combination of our two companies presents a wonderful opportunity
for all stakeholders at Fort à la Corne. Kensington shareholders will
benefit from exposure to the potential for the near-term development of
a diamond mine at the Star Kimberlite, they will continue to
participate in the aggressive development of the Fort à la Corne joint
venture diamond project and they will realize an immediate premium to
the current share price," says Robert A. McCallum, President and CEO of
Kensington Resources Ltd. "With Board and management participation in
the new entity, Kensington's people will be an integral part of the
organization going forward."
Highlights of the combined company include:
Consolidation of the Highly Prospective Fort à la Corne Region
. Fort à la Corne is one of the world's largest diamond-bearing
kimberlite fields with proven macrodiamond and large stone potential
. Compelling combination of Shore's 100% interest in the Star
Kimberlite with over 240 million tonnes of kimberlite grading 15.7 cpht
and Kensington's 42.245% interest in 63 kimberlite bodies including
over 369 million tonnes of kimberlite with 35 million carats identified
to date
Aggressive Exploration and Development Plan
. Combined company will have a cash position of approximately $175
million ($220 million fully diluted), with no debt, to aggressively
pursue its exploration and development plans
. $21 million has been budgeted by Shore for 2005 to advance the Star
pre-feasibility study (total budget of $44 million with expected
completion in 2007)
. $26.5 million has been budgeted by Kensington and the other FALC
joint venture partners for the 2005 exploration program for the Fort à
la Corne joint venture diamond project as part of an aggressive three
year plan to identify 70 million carats and advance to a
pre-feasibility decision
. Combined company's FALC joint venture interest will continue to
benefit from the expertise, resources and technical skills of De Beers,
the global leader in the diamond industry
Synergy Potential
. Potential for significant development synergies and operational
economies of scale
. Combined company will have a market capitalization of over $780
million, increased trading liquidity, a larger, more diverse
shareholder base and an enhanced profile both domestically and
internationally, all of which are expected to provide it with better
access to capital
Strong Management and Board
. Kenneth MacNeill will be the President and CEO and will lead an
integrated management team
. James R. Rothwell (former President of BHP Diamonds Inc.) will be
non-executive Chairman of the combined board of directors
. The eight-member board of directors will consist of five existing
Shore directors (Kenneth MacNeill, Arnie Hillier, Neil McMillan, Ronald
Walker, Harvey Bay) and three Kensington nominees (James R. Rothwell,
Robert McCallum and William Stanley)
Strong Sponsorship
. Newmont is highly supportive of this transaction and has confirmed
their desire to maintain a 9.9% interest in the combined company
"As a major shareholder of Shore we fully support the combination of
Shore and Kensington. It will give the combined shareholders the
benefits of Shore's exciting, wholly owned development project and the
exploration potential on the FALC joint venture's 63 already known
kimberlites. The economies of scale to be realized from this merger
could also be significant," said Mr. Pierre Lassonde, President of
Newmont Mining Corp.
"Having been involved in the very successful early development of the
Canadian diamond industry, it is exciting now to participate in the
huge potential for development of Saskatchewan diamonds," says Jim
Rothwell, Chairman of Kensington Resources Ltd.
Transaction
The merger will occur by way of a Plan of Arrangement (the
"Arrangement") to be approved at a special meeting of Kensington
securityholders expected to be held on or before October 27, 2005. The
formal information circular containing the details and conditions of
the Arrangement is expected to be mailed to Kensington securityholders
in September 2005. The Board of Directors of Kensington has
unanimously approved the arrangement agreement and is recommending that
securityholders vote in favour of the arrangement at the Kensington
securityholders' meeting. Kensington's Board of Directors has received
a fairness opinion from BMO Nesbitt Burns stating that the
consideration to be received under the Arrangement is fair, from a
financial point of view, to Kensington shareholders. Shore has entered
into agreements with Kensington's directors and officers whereby such
shareholders have agreed to vote in favour of the Arrangement. Upon
closing, Kensington's outstanding warrants and options would be
replaced with Shore warrants and options with equivalent terms on the
basis of the exchange ratio for common shares of Kensington under the
Arrangement.
Upon completion of the merger, Shore will have approximately 145
million shares outstanding (162 million fully diluted) and the basic
ownership split will be approximately 65% Shore and 35% Kensington.
The transaction is conditional on approval from a minimum of 66 2/3% of
the votes cast at the Kensington securityholders' meeting and on the
receipt of all necessary regulatory and court approvals. The
definitive agreement is not subject to a due diligence condition.
Pursuant to the agreement, Kensington has agreed not to solicit third
party interest regarding an alternative acquisition of Kensington (a
"Competing Business Transaction"), subject to fiduciary obligations.
Kensington and Shore have each agreed to pay a break-fee of $7.0
million, payable in certain circumstances, including by Kensington
where Kensington concludes a Competing Business Transaction.
Shore has retained Genuity Capital Markets to act as Shore's financial
advisor and Bennett Jones LLP to act as Shore's legal advisor.
Kensington's Board of Directors has established a Special Committee to
evaluate the combination and to make a recommendation to the Kensington
Board of Directors. Kensington's Special Committee has retained BMO
Nesbitt Burns to act as its financial advisor and Lawson Lundell LLP to
act as its legal advisor.

PLCC 10Q WOW!
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/050815/plcc10-q.html
Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 vs. Three Months Ended June 30, 2004
Revenues
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2005 increased $13.2 million. As shown in the table above, sales commissions-which are commissions generated from the retail stock brokerage business-decreased approximately $300,000 as a result of lackluster market performance and lower commissions associated with corporate finance transactions. Sales commissions are also directly related to the number of brokers engaged by the Company. The Company had 95 stockbrokers as of June 30, 2005, as compared to 104 as of June 30, 2004, a decrease of approximately 9 percent.
Corporate finance revenue decreased $1.8 million, from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005. The Company completed two corporate finance transactions in the second quarter of 2004 with proceeds totaling $14.5 million, as compared to one corporate finance transaction in the second quarter of 2005 with gross proceeds totaling $2.7 million.
Investment income increased $13.9 million in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the second quarter of 2004. Investment income can be volatile period-over-period based on the fact it is driven by the market value or fair value of the securities and underwriter warrants held by the Company. Investment income consists of (1) the unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities held based on quoted market prices, (2) the unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities held that are not readily marketable, based upon the Company's estimate of their fair value, (3) the realized gain and loss on the sale of securities with quoted market prices and securities that are not readily marketable, and (4) the unrealized appreciation and depreciation of underwriter warrants held by the Company. The appreciation of underwriter warrants totaled approximately $322,000 during the second quarter of 2005, as compared to the depreciation and expiration of underwriter warrants of approximately $611,000 for the second quarter of 2004. In addition, in the Company's investment account, the holdings in Charles & Colvard, Ltd., increased in value over $8.5 million and the holdings in Daystar Technologies, Inc., increased in value over $1.8 million during the second quarter of 2005. The Company has a concentration in Charles and Colvard with holdings approximating $21.3 million as of June 30, 2005. The Company may sell Charles & Colvard, Ltd., and/or Daystar Technologies, Inc., or any other security in its investment account any time deemed appropriate. The remainder of the total investment income is the result of the unrealized and realized appreciation of securities with quoted market prices. There was no change in the estimated fair value of securities not readily marketable during the second quarter of 2005.
NGS listed as #3 in IBD top 100!
Natural gas services is a fairly new company based in Midland, TX. I invested pre IPO and still hold notes/warrants. I was pumped to see NGS listed as #3 in IBD 100 this morning. The basic story of the company goes like this:
UCO and HC are the big boys in the business. They run big trucks with 2 technicians and service BIG compression units. NGS carved out a niche in the small compressor business. They developed a unit that uses a 350cid chevy engine block, set it up to run on natural gas, and mate it to a proprietary "screw" compressor. They are able to send one technician out in a Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel 1 ton Truck w/multiple units. The company has grown internally and through acquisitions.
Here's the best part: The pipeline pressures have been increasing as more and more compressors are added to gas wells that would have been capped at <$3.00 gas. The sales pitch goes like this: "Sir, I see that you have 15 small gas wells that were capped 3-7 years ago. We could lease you 15 small compressor units, covered by a service agreement, for a cost per month of $1,300ea. At $8.00 gas you can collect a check for $4,000 to $6,000 on each well. We can start with one on a trial basis and if you DON'T see these kinds of returns we'll remove it for free. If you DO get these returns we'll do all 15 wells for you as units come off our assembly line."
THIS COMPANY IS DRINKING WATER FROM A FIRE HOSE!
I think these guys are getting looked at by the big boys and may even be a buy out candidate.

Would you please consider downloading this 4 day old DNO presentation from their website and doing a back of the envalope analysis of reserves and valuation?
here is the link:

I view DNO.OL and PAR.OL as a way to play 1)Oil price increase/increasing reserves 2)Hedge against dollar decline 3)Investment in premium management.
Your opinions, and that of others on this board are "priceless"!

If you like salmon and halibut I will FedEx you a 50 pound box of premium vacuum packed 2 day old fresh fillets from Kodiak Alaska as a small token of my appreciation. I commercial fished there years ago and have a boat I share with my Dad and Brothers and we spend the last half of August up there fishing. If you'ed rather come up and catch your own I can arrange that too! Send me a PM if you want to take me up on either offer. There is a direct flight from Seattle to Kodiak!

How did you find MVCO? Hweb?
What is your view, I have shared a little DD on the VMC board. I also talked to the CEO a couple of times. They are trying to bid higher quality jobs and I'm sur that is part of the reduced bag log, "quality vs. quantity". They are also growing their business in a growing part of the US. I don't think the housing and general constrution is going to slow down in the SW US like it will in other markets. Too many boomers with too much money want to stay warm in the winter. And have you been to Vegas lately?? Texas Hold'em gone wild!!! Even Bobwins goes to Vegas, and he's known to be tight, even builds his own computers.

MSGI SWTS Conflicting info?
http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/050502/085734.html In this link they say $40 million annual revenue.
"As part of the Nestle USA product line, Sweet Success(TM) achieved sales exceeding $40 million annually"
In your link: "Under Nestle, the Sweet Success(tm) brand gained 18 percent of the nutritional beverage/meal replacement market, making it number two in the category, and achieved more than $240 million in total annual sales at retail."
$200 million dollar question, what does "at retail" mean?
MSGI SWTS $240m or $40m ???
I was reading the old PR's and found this from the company:
"Sweet Success is a well known top-tier meal replacement brand. Its brand recognition is high among the target market. As part of the Nestle USA product line, Sweet Success(TM) achieved sales exceeding $40 million annually, primarily through the leading major retail grocery and drug chains, and gained as much as 18% market share, second only to SlimFast(TM)."
This is an interesting find and I'm looking into it but 240 vs 40 is a big difference???
Thanks,

MVCO News of Ready Mix IPO will
be the second of the one two punch for Meadow Valley. Backlog still looks great and the Gooseberry dam loses are in the rear view mirror. Study the IPO #'s and you will find around $8 per share for Meadow Vally alone, then figure $1 per year earnings and give it a P/E of 10. This is easily an $18 stock. Give it a P/E of 12-15 and it's in the 20's.

Rogue - China Peg
I read all of your posts about the death of the dollar and death of our standard of living. I want to tell you a story that is unfolding for my company today.
We make a product for fertilizer and animal feed called zinc sulfate. It provides supplemental zinc to plants and animals to promote healthier yields in both.
15 years ago it was a great business. We get raw material from galvinizer's waste and brass mill fume. Then along come the cheap products from China and our raw materials start to dry up do to our suppliers going out of business. For the past 6-7 years, until 9 months ago the Chinese flooded the US with cheap zinc sulfate and almost put us out of business. Then it happened, the dollar went down against many currencies and the zinc metal price nearly doubled. Today, we are seeing almost no Chinese product coming in leaving a 30% or so hole in supply that we are trying to fill. We are back on solid ground and are going to be big time profitable this year. We actually exported a 20 ton container to China from Nebraska, got a smoking frt rate on a WAL-MART container backhaul. We are going to borrow money to expand the plant soon, and buy new equipment, and hire more semi skilled labor. All of this in good old heartland USA.
I think you have things way too one sided in your mind. For every action there is an equal reaction. What if our company borrows money from your bank, your bank pays interest back to you, then we hire your brother to work for us, sell our product to your neighbor the farmer, who then sells his eggs to the store your wife shops at, and the surplus grain goes to China, then I take my profit and go buy a car made in the USA because the ones from China cost 30% more.
Anyway, none of us can possibly figure out what is going to happen in the longer term so I don't get too cranked up over it. I try to raise good kids, work hard everyday, do something good for other people, and go fishing in my spare time.
I predict the world as we know it will still be here next year and we'll be hashing over all of the same topics only in different order. Oil, Terror, China, Power Grid, Healthcare, Realestate, Iraq, Gold, Global Warming YOU NAME IT!
Oh, one more big worry, we are only one major crop failure away from a grain shortage!
Good Luck,

Stylecounciler NGS
Funny you mention NGS. I have 2 blocks of warrants from a private placement in NGS from over 3 years ago. The kicker is that the notes I hold at 10% interest will be called in Dec. 2006 and they will give me my principal back AND I am in the process of exercising the $3.25 warrants and with the stock hitting $14.00 today....... MY COMPRESSED GAS IS 10 TIMES AS POTENT AS KOZ'S!!!!
NGS is being added to the Microcap Index and institutions will be buying it up. I think it will be bought out by a big outfit like UCO or HC. The key with NGS is to look at the cash flow, they lease compressors that are built with borrowed money so the debt scares a bunch of people away. It even scared Bobwins away at a PPS of $7.00 when I pointed it out to him on the Raging Bull board.
Good Luck! COMPRESSED GAS IS MORE POTENT!

Bobwins, Len MVCO will put me on top!
Bob still owes me his evaluation of this Hweb sleeper. I also wish I had picked USAP instead of a sheeper.
Bob, don't apologize just yet for CPTC, it's too early to tell, it's back from the dead. Like Cramer says "get the paddles". I about had cardiac arrest when it got down to $.33, if my balls hadn't shriveled up into my gut so far I would have gotten a hold of them and bought more shares that day. It was 105 all time record setting July high here in Denver yesterday and power lines were sagging big time, more days over 100 in the forecast. We need a few big blackouts this weekend and the energy bill might get passed.
