Lowman,
Please add in my 9,125 shares. I'm buying more today.

Kids at 50? are you crazy? I thought I was old when I was 34 and had my first, 37 when I had my second and now at the age of 55 they are finally adults (legally - 18 & 21). You start at 50, and when the kid turns 18 you'll be 68. That's a mighty big generation gap. Good luck to you though. You're a very brave (maybe) man :)
In any event have a GREAT 45th.

Dear Lowman,
Today is Flag Day and your birthday! Hope it's a Happy one and that it's GREEN as well.
With kindest regards,
Carole
I missed it. Did anyone record and if so, could you post, PLEASE?
Thanks,
Carole
You go girl. :)

I understand diversification. I don't understand dishonesty and lack of integrity. Thanks for your reply.
I still think it's wrong.
Carole
The man has brass balls. How dare he start another company, take away investors money again and not feel ashamed for what he's done to EQBM and SOMA? Is this legal? Now I really feel violated. Is there anything any of us can do?
Carole
Happy Birthday. This will be a wonderful year for you and all HEMI longs!
Carole
TOO Funny. I'm just glad that I wasn't that widow.
Carole
Thank you Mr. Kermit.
So, I just need to keeping hoping (and praying) that what I do have will eventually go UP in value so that I can sell and recover some of the money?
Thanks.
Carole
My husband Gary, before he died in October, invested in EQMB. Scottrade shows that I have 2000 shares of SOMA and 2000 shares of SOMPF. So what does this mean? Did Gary exercise his option to buy or not? Is there anything I need to do at this point so I don't lose even more?
Thanks to anyone with a response. I'm trying real hard to learn all this stuff....
Carole
What does that mean? Warrents expiring? What are warrants and why would they expire?
Thanks to any response.

My gosh, I wish I had that many shares... :) I know I'll make money on the ones I do have and hopefully will slowly add as time goes by. GLTA

Mr. Lowman, thank you once again for your response. No, I would not mail them , I would walk them right into the office and hand deliver them :) And of course, a copy is a must.
Thanks and kind regards,
Carole
If I remember what Scottrade told me, you ask for a certificate for the number of shares you want. If you have 2000 shares and you want a certificate for all of them the certificate will state 2000 shares. But if you only want one for 1500 shares, then the certificate will state 1500 shares and on your electronic account it will show 500. I think I got that right, but maybe I should call Scottrade again tomorrow. I do know it will cost $50 per certificate. So, it can't be 1 share per certificate. I'll recheck with them tomorow. Maybe other brokers do it differently, but don't the certificates actually come from HEMI??
Carole
Theoretical question. If I request my stock certificate from Scottrade, are my shares put in a sort of Limbo (like a frozen account) or can I trade them (not that I'm planning to) until I actually receive the stock certificate? I believe once I receive the stock certificate, the amount of HMPG shares that show up in my account will only be the electronic shares. Is this correct?
Thanks to any responses.
Carole
Yeah. Keep climbing the ladder, HEMI!

I have a strange question that may be off topic as far as stocks go, but what happens to the earth/land when oil or gas is pumped out? Does the earth cave in? How long would it take? I'm asking because I wonder what happens to the surface that people may actually live on. Is there a geologist (I guess this is a geology question) in the group that can explain it to me.
Thanks, Nest Egg
Why do you need a minimum of 5,000 of SOMPF to sell? Scottrade never told me that. Thanks for a reply.
Nest Egg.
If you're looking to count stock
I have 2000 shares and use Scottrade (no restrictions)

Money is money. Some are just able to add a few more 000s at the end. It's all relative. I was sorry to read that your dream of a six month stint in Europe went down the tubes. We all make mistakes, and hopefully learn from them. Just because we only had 103,500 shares doesn't mean that that money isn't as important to us (me and my children). I'm peaceful at knowing that we didn't "gamble away the farm" on a pink sheet stock or any other kind of stock for that matter. I'm pretty cautious with what money I do have - need to be on my salary - but don't endanger myself or my family with this type of risk.
All of life is a risk or gamble - it's just how much you care to risk.
If I'm the one you're referring to, as the "widow" who recently posted, I feel more sorry for you. We only have 103,500 shares of EQBM - that money was not "grocery" or bill money. It was some of my husband's inheritance that his mom left to him. He spread it around different stocks, but most of the money went to EQBM. It's not life-changing if I don't see the stock make money but it would be nice.
I'm disappointed that a CEO of his supposed caliber does not let his stockholders know what he's done with the money - maybe not down to the last dollar, but at least a good portion of it. I can see both sides - he may be a con or he may be actually trying to do some good, but his lack of communication is appauling.

Back on Topic:
Chinese lawyers take a lot of time. I work for a company that had proposed joint venture agreement - what would have taken a maximum of 4-6 months in other countries wound up to be 20+ months with the Chinese. It's a difficult country to deal with.
I have Scottrade - do you think they would bother getting any of the stock certificates on EQBM, SOMA, SOMPF? Yeah at $50 each and in 6-8 weeks.
It was refreshing to hear that Larry actually spoke with someone recently!! I was thinking he was a phantom!

Thank you for sending the email to the CEO, Larry S.
I remember that just before Gary died, while he was in the hospotal, he said I should look into buying some more EQBM. I did so at $.075 at the time. I can't remember how many shares it was. That was mid-late October.
Now of course I feel that I should never made that purchase and I doubt that purchase or any of the others will ever help me and my children. I feel voilated in a way - almost robbed. Perhaps, and I pray this is true, that EQBM will once again be worth more than the $150.+/- and the SOMA worth even more. I also don't understand - did the Dalian deal ever materialize? Doesn't EQBM have other interests throughout Canada and parts of the US as well as China? Something, somewhere has to be going on? I not "crying in my beer" but I would like to know just what the h*ll is going on with these stocks.
Thanks to all replies.

Dear Board members:
I am new to this board. My late husband starting purchasing EQBM stock back in late July (maybe longer). I am trying to understand what is going on. He said at the time, that it really looked like a good investment and they were giving out dividends on another stock that is associated with Equitable - SOMA. From what I understand through Scottrade, neither is worth very much. I cannot even trade in the 103500 shares on Equitable because their value is so low that it would actually cost me money to trade at such a loss. (which I really don't understand).
Any suggestions? or should I just hold on, and on, and on? I have 2000 shares of SOMAF and other SOMA stocks (I think that's right), but they aren't tradeable on line either.
This may not seem like a lot of money to many of you, but the initial and additional investments were a lot of money to us (now me).
Thanks for all serious responses. I would certainly appreciate the suggestions/advice.

I'm new to the board. Actually, my late husband invested in Hemi back in August at $.l0 (I think). I've been reading every post about this stock.
To anyone on the board, is there a way I can actually see the Hemi business plan and or the "Hemi Book"? I don't understand charts, I try to understand some of the due diligence, but I am so very glad he (my husband Gary) had the foresight to invest here. Just a small amount compared to most of you, but it's serious money to me. I would consider my investment longterm. I plan to hold out until Hemi gets bought by big oil or reaches a lot more that just $1 or $2.
I would appreciate a response, if possible.
Thanks - from a newcomer
