Aloha - well I never thought I'd see it, but there is no short interest as of Oct 31 - doesn't mean it's still that way, but I suspect it is based on the stock's present behavior.

Tradeshow Marketing Company Appoints Aksel Firat as Director of Retail Development
Sammamish, WA - Tradeshow Marketing Company, Ltd. (OTC: TSHO), a specialty product development and direct to consumer commerce company with operations in North America, today announced the appointment of Aksel Firat as Director of Retail Development.
Firat will be directing Tradeshow Marketing's corporate retail development program, with special focus on the profitability and strategic expansion of the company's existing retail stores, design and development of newly planned corporate retail stores, and collaboration on product development from a retail perspective.
"I believe that Aksel's focus on increasing the profitability of our existing corporate stores, the strategic expansion of these locations, and the development of new stores, will strongly benefit our growth," commented Luniel de Beer, Tradeshow Marketing's President and CEO. "With our mission to achieve high levels of profitability and expanding our operations rapidly and cost effectively, Aksel's appointment as Director of Retail Development is an important step towards increasing shareholder value."
Firat boasts an impressive background in development, design, and construction with companies such as World Gym, Charles Schwab, Cold Stone Creamery, Ben & Jerry's, and the Dermacare Laser and Skin Care Clinics franchise, where he served as Regional Director of Franchise Development. Most recently, Firat was part of the Sandström OnTV Company's franchising team, where he focused on retail operations and the design and construction elements of the franchising model to meet retail needs.
Aloha Stocksurgeon - That's probably the most recent info available from someone analyzing the company, and as far as market activity is concerned, there are quite a few similarities. Other than closing their 2 Az retail outlets, I believe the rest of the plan is still in tact.

Will Trade Show Marketing Co. (OTCPK:TSHO) Trade to 70 Cents Per Share?
July, 12th 2008
A few weeks back, I told you about an exciting new company that we believe will make you money. I know some of our members have already positioned themselves in Trade Show Marketing Company (OTCPK:TSHO), but if you haven't already, then you may end up kicking yourself.Here are some facts about the company.
1. The company is financially sound with no debt and very low overhead.
2. It has an extremely tight share structure with only 23 million shares outstanding of which the majority are restricted or wrapped up by long term shareholders.
3. The market-cap for the company is only $3.5 million dollars. Considering that they have two stores that have been operating profitably for the past 10 years, along with plans to open more corporate stores and are geared for an aggressive franchise expansion of 100+ stores, this indicates that they are trading at literally a zero times multiple to revenue.
4. The company has recently been approved in 42 states to sell franchises, and has a goal of 100+ franchise stores, positioning TSHO for long term revenue growth.
5. One of the most common tools analysts use when they are calculating good investment opportunities for retail stores is based on this model. They take the amount of revenue the stores make and then divide it by the total square footage of the store in order to come out with revenue per square foot that each store generates. In the case of Trade Show Marketing Co. (OTCPK:TSHO) that number is identical to the revenue per square foot of Lulu Lemon (NASDAQ:LULU) that IPO'd on the Nasdaq and shot up to over $61.00 per share.
6. The company, as recently as October of 2007, was trading strong at over $.70 per share, and I believe it would take very little to get the stock back to around those prices - we want to be clear that you can position yourself on Monday at 18 cents and be in a position to return 150 to 400 percent on your investment. I genuinely believe that it is the start of a great run for Trade Show Marketing Co. (OTCPK:TSHO). (Edit: maybe that will finally happen...)
The company has sat dormant for months and in the last few weeks we have seen the volume really start to pick up as new investors have begun to place their orders in this stock. On Friday, we saw the stock trade up 33% on only 59,000 shares traded. In light of recent news I have no doubt in my mind that this company is going to move extremely quickly, and urge all investors to consider an entry position at these low levels.
Smart money will have breakfast orders in before market opens on Monday, and cash in on the momentum.
On Friday, just after the market closed Trade Show Marketing Co. (OTCPK:TSHO) released their second corporate development of the week. I have added this press release below. My fellow investors, the time to take a profitable stance is now!! Let's harvest some cash off of Trade Show Marketing Co. (OTCPK:TSHO). Based on news that we have seen in the last few days, the market sentiment for TSHO and the fact that the share structure is so tight, we are buying TSHO.Pk anywhere from 16 cents to 27 cents as I expect the stock to bounce back to its previous high of approximately 70 cents over the course of the following 4 months. Projected gains in the short term supported by what we know today, minimum ROI of 150% to a maximum ROI of 400%. Be sure to read the information below and know that we will continue to update our investment opinion on Trade Show Market Co. (OTCPK:TSHO) as we are certain that more corporate developments are on their way.
All the Best for Now, Sincerely,Scott Peterson and the Bench Mark Journal Teamwww.benchmarkjournal.com

Aloha Sterling - much appreciate your detailed thoughts. What seems unusual to me, is that a stock that hasn't filed BK and is still active and has about 8 mil float would have ever gone - as you said to .003. For example, TSHO was DOA for almost 3 months and remained at .03. About 100k suddenly traded bringing it to .12. (300% in one day) Then it retraced 50% or so. Granted IFRX was .003 and it's up 320%, but since the company is a going concern - as is TSHO, why would it have dropped so low in the first place. Just doesn't seem to follow what appears to me to be general guidelines that I've come accustomed to over the years. And yes I realize there are exceptions to every rule (lol).
Hopefully we get some news and confirmation that things are picking up for the company. Last 10QSB indicated they were down to only 1 client. They also indicated that they were beginning to look beyond the government for clients. Hopefully they've got some new clients that we'll here about ASAP.
Mahalo,
Makamai
Howzit Kuleana - Gives you a good idea of how the process works. Granted there will be some new additions, but the process is basically the same....
Makamai
fsmith - don't forget where we got most of the equipment other than the buffers from - Spreelast. Those pics are definitely applicable as far as the general process goes.
Makamai
What contracts are you referring to? The company only had one government contract at last count and I don't know how that would affect the stocks performance. The fact that the stock went sub penny may have something to do with it, but considering the volume the last two days approaching 25% of the reported float, the stocks price reaction IMHO should have swung much higher.
Makamai
Anyone have any opinions as to why this stock is behaving more like a stock with 80 mil on the float, vice 8 mil as presently stated in the last 10QSB?
Makamai
If you scroll down and check out the videos at the website below, you'll see the grinding/shredding part of the process. The tires then go through the separation process removing the wire and then further grinding/shredding to create nuggets and finer rubber.
http://www.techvideonews.com/view_news_link.php?nlid=92822&p=1
Makamai
Yes Richie - I would say that nugget production is the next milestone on the calendar. Hopefully they can get that process going before Turkey Day here in the US....
Makamai
They need to start generating some serious income to get back on folks radar. Looks like that's a year off or so...
Makamai
Until they start grinding up the tires to make nuggets, I would think that they will have a bunch of buffed tires floating around. The cryogenic part of the process will extract the steel. Wonder when Magog will be into nuggets?
Makamai
Well the company didn't file for an extension today, so we ought to see their 10QSB for the quarter ending 9/30 by Monday.
I doubt there will be any changes from the past. It's the next one I'm looking forward to...
Makamai
Aloha - in doing my Due - I noticed that the company filed a form NT 10-Q - late filing of their quarterly report today. This would be for the quarter ending 9/30.
Makamai
.12 certainly would be nice as a short term goal....
Makamai
This stock is certainly a buy & hold - not a flipper. There may be some in this market that want out for now to take advantage of the market turbulance while it lasts...
Aloha board..Just established a position - seems as how 25% of the 8.2 mil float has traded today (2+mil) - and the 2nd day over 1 mil. How could the price possibly be this low? Hope the upward trend continues. 52 week high was around .50 + what are the chances we see that again?
Makamai
I wonder if we are going to get one of those EOD dumps and recovery?
That's a good question Surfguy - only problem is with such volatility in the markets, many investors are otherwise pre-occupied with other good deals out there right now. When things settle down a bit and we have got our ad campaign going with some revenue posted we'll get back on track. All things considered, when the market was tanking, MDOR hit a new 52 week high. Doing some retracing right now. For the long term, however, this stock will be a big winner.
Makamai
Go figure - Don't think I'd want to sell at the moment...
Money, Money and more Money - that's what will move this stock...
An influx of new investors W6, after the market settles down a bit. I'd expect the planned interviews and Our Planet airings to help. Then a 10QSB showing some income.
That's certainly true Art. Slow but steady seems to be the name of the game at the present time. Seem to be in a holding pattern waiting for the next breakout.
Makamai
Great Job with the IBox Art! - gets your attention.
Question - as I recall, about 3mil shares were retired when Spreelast/Artech left -thought that droped the Outstanding from about 19 mil to around 16 Mil or so. Has 8 more mil been added?
Makamai
Much Appreciated - If there was a previous link, I lost it. I may have received it via e-mail. Anyow I think it will be of interest to all.
Mahalo
Makamai
Premier - would you or anyone have an updated version of the following PDF - 5_27_08 TSHO Exec Sum rev8 to pdf.
Mahalo,
Makamai
Managed to average down today, having almost written this one off as another looser, and then it closed over my average - Wowser - That's a first!...Hope the momentum keeps her going...
Makamai
W6 - you'd think that since they were dropping the unemployment level in Magog, that there would be banner and flag waving (lol). Anyhow, If anyone reads the local press, be interesting to see a follow up to the initial article about MDOR obtaining the facility.
Makamai
Art - are you aware of any planned festivities in Magog as a result?
Aloha Joanneg - well at least if we complain about it now - eg. you get a partial fill and then others go over the top, we might get some attention.
A big Amem to that Art!
Hopefully the company will come out soon with a killer NR to support all this renewed activity.
I don't know how many times I've had an order in and seen trades above my order fill but mine doesn't get filled... Hopefully that's a thing of the past.

Pink OTC Markets News Service
New York, NY - Pink OTC Markets Inc., the leading electronic inter-dealer quotation system, trading technology and financial information provider for over-the-counter (OTC) securities, is pleased to announce a new FINRA rule change effective today for Limit Order Protection in the OTC marketplace.
Starting today, broker-dealers that handle customer limit orders in OTC equities, whether received from their own customers or from another member firm, cannot trade ahead of customer limit orders. This means that a firm cannot trade for its own account at a price equal to or better than a customer limit order without also executing the customer order.
This specialist-type obligation on OTC broker-dealers to execute customer limit orders price for price and share for share brings one of the most significant regulatory safeguards of trading exchange-listed securities to investors in the OTC market. This significant rule change will result in improved quality of executions for investors and improved OTC market efficiency.
Limit Order Protection will contribute substantially to transparency in the market, resulting in better and fairer executions for investors, as well as standardize the regulation of trading in listed and OTC securities. In recognition of this important advance in market structure, Pink OTC Markets is extending a free Real-Time Level 2 Quotes trial to issuers of securities in the Pink Sheets Current Information market tier for the next month. Investors using www.pinksheets.com will have access to real-time market maker quotes in order to better monitor the execution of their limit orders.

Back in June/July, Bench Mark Journal did a PR campaign on TSHO and stated that "The target of 70 cents by analysts is still anticipated, and it's still trading below 20 cents so the timing looks perfect." However it dropped off the radar a month or so later. Nice to see a revival. They never said how long it would take to get there (lol)
Makamai
That's good to hear Premier - there were no trades from 10/2 until 11/10 as if they folded up shop and turned out the lights. Good to hear they've been to a revival meeting and are recharged and given it a go again.
Makamai
No doubt they have some good products, but their sales were down for the period ending Feb 08 from Feb 07, and they haven't reported for any of the remainder of 08 so who knows how they are doing as a company at this point - other than their recent closing their retail outlets.
Makamai
Well didn't I say the sky is the limit and maybe some things a little bit closer to home.(lol)
