Morning people. Can't wait to see if PURO starts releasing some news next week.
Yep. Calling the kettle black wouldn't you say?
You blaming others for "misleading" maybe. People here are just pointing out how screwed up the worlds water supply is and how PURO just might be able to capture a part of that $400 billion market. Yet you are here giving them a hard time saying they are misleading. So I ask you what is your point?
Have a Happy New Year everyone and be safe if you're going to be driving.
It's good that I pointed that out to you then or you would still be posting "misleading" info. LOL.
Happy New Year's people. Be safe.
No wonder you're so pissed off. LOL.
Riiiiiiiiight
Speaking of misleading. Remember this?? Come to find out you didn't know what you were talking about here either did you??

Again, has anyone confirmed the info regarding Evergreen Estates? I did some extensive DD on the name Evergreen Estates and made a few phone calls. All leading to dead ends.
Seems you really don't know what your talking about. Cleanest it's been in 100 years???? Hmm , some more misleading information from you. A trend???
Great Lakes water is not as pure as it once was. Far from it, in fact. During the 1960's and 70's the Great Lakes were so polluted that the ecosystem came dangerously close to collapse.
Water quality in the Great Lakes is of the utmost importance, as nearly 43 million people in the United States and Canada depend on it for drinking water. Millions of species of plants and animals live in or depend on the water for life as well.
For decades, Great Lakes water quality has been threatened by toxic pollutants such as mercury, PCBs, and agricultural pesticides like DDT. These chemicals enter the aquatic system through direct dumping, such as paper mill waste, or indirect pathways, such as field-water run-off and power plant air pollution, and can remain in the system for years. Threats to aquatic life become threats to human health when contaminated fish end up on our tables. Mercury contaminated fish in particular are of great concern - potentially causing birth defects, high blood pressure, infertility and even brain damage.
Sanitary sewer overflows, agricultural run-off (manure) dirty diapers, and failing septic systems can contribute to higher levels of bacteria in the water. This often requires beaches and other recreational locations to temporarily close to prevent swimmers from becoming ill. The increased organic matter (and phosphorus from agricultural fertilizers) in the waters also contributes to algae growth, oxygen depletion in the water, and threatens all of the Lakes' aquatic life. Lake Erie, historically one of the most polluted of the Great Lakes, currently suffers an enormous "dead zone," where life in the lake has nearly been extinguished.
The medicines humans consume can also affect the Great Lakes water quality. This happens if our bodies do not use the entire unit of medicine we take. The residual, of course, goes down the toilet or drain and into our water system. Unsafe levels of pharmaceuticals in the water supply can threaten the animals and humans that drink the water. More information is available at CNN .
Fortunately, policies such as the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement , passed in 1972 and still in effect, and the Clean Water Act of 1977 have improved the condition of the Lakes.
We can all take steps now to help improve the health of the Lakes and prevent future public health emergencies. Click here to learn what you can do.

You mean northeast. Down here in Florida it's sunny and warm baby. Woooot!!!
" lot of amateur drinkers out there tonight! "
Yeah, the old pros like us know to sit our asses at home!!! LOL.
Happy New Years bud and to all on the board. Let's all work together to make this year a very profitable one. Be safe.
GJ Jim. Anxious to see the letter.
yep ford, very disappointing as of late but you just never know. All you can do at this point is hope for the best.
Amazing that some will just "pop" in to spew crap for no reason at all.
A couple more weeks Jim please.
AIG seeks change on loan terms: report
Wednesday December 31, 8:29 am ET
FT reports insurer AIG will seek easing of $60 billion loan rules
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- American International Group Inc. is preparing to ask the Federal Reserve to relax rules on how bidders pay for assets as it tries to repay a $60 billion loan, according to a report in the Financial Times Wednesday.
ADVERTISEMENT
The New York-based insurer wants to boost competition for the assets by allowing bidders to pay using a greater portion of shares, or through installments, the newspaper reported, citing people close to the situation.
Under the current plan, AIG can only sell assets to bidders paying at least 90 percent of the price in cash.
An AIG spokesman could not be reached for immediate comment.
AIG, once the world's largest insurer, is in the process of liquidating assets to repay the loan, which is part of a $150 billion bailout from the federal government.
The flexible options would make it easier for potential buyers to bid for the company's assets, as well as counter the perception that AIG will be forced to sell units at bargain prices to repay the government loan, the report added.
Last month, the U.S. government gave AIG a $150 billion rescue package to help the company pull through the credit crisis. That package replaced an earlier loan of $85 billion after it became apparent the insurer needed more funds.
AIG said in October it would sell off a number of business units to repay the original $85 billion government loan.
The company has not specifically disclosed the assets it would sell or the expected prices from the sales. However, AIG has said it plans to retain its U.S. property and casualty and foreign general insurance businesses, and plans to retain an ownership interest in its foreign life insurance operations.
As of Dec. 22, AIG had already sold interests in four businesses, and earlier in the month was said to be in the final stages of selling its U.S. personal lines business and one other operation.

Morning bud.
Keep on eye on FNM and FRE. Link back for news.
Now that is scary stuff. Funny how something like this escapes most people until they have a reason to research a subject.
Not in my opinion.
Roger that Doog.
Morning people.

GLTY then.
Agreed. I have it on my list as one to start buying for the long term.
It's going to be interesting that is for sure.
Yeppers.
Ok, every year around the Hollidays peolpe sell stocks for tax purposes. All throughout the holiday period volume on most stocks suck until the New Year. Most here are waiting for the first full trading week of the New Year to see if PURO comes out with some good news. THAT is what we are betting onand talking about next week.
Every year the same thing happens during Christmas holidays.
With Obama coming into office I think anything green will make a huge rally in the coming years.
Yeah, who the hell would want a 100% gain in two days, YUCK!!!! LOL.
It's the hollidays and with such a low float here, low volume can move this either way very fast. The real trading will begin next week, so we will see what happens then. GLTY.
"I don't base my trading on possible future trend changes, do you?"
LMFAO - Of course you do, if NOT, you would never trade.
Thanks for repeating that. It's a good to have someone remind the shareholders of that every day once or twice as if there is not enough gloom and doom surrounding this already.
