A noble and honest post. One of the first for a long long time
Go Yanks! lol
Tonight on MSNBC

Found it interesting. They said they needed better more accurate test than the PSA's . Hello here we are!
Win or lose
I can't wait until tomorrow! GLTA
So is Epix and I'm losing a small pair of shorts , but Degreed my question is about this.
The HDVY limited license grant to Vermillion is for non-exclusive use solely for Vermillion’s SELDI-based mass spectrometer technology.
1st why did we give this up so cheaply. 2nd if we have the tech(software for every other application why aren't we ahead of Vermillion and any others? OK , I 'm out on a limb here , because I'm sure these questions are weak, but shouldn't we be getting a lot more on these infringement lawsuits, considering what Vermillion has now. One more thing ! thank you for your insight and DD on this board for the last few years (without it) , speaking for myself I may not have been part of this great investment. GB OC
After auction?
If we were to fetch say 20,000 million just for examples sake. 5 mil of it would pay off debt. Where does that leave Epix if theres no merger.( With 15 million in the bank?) I bought this as a gamble and will hold my shares for whatever the final results are down to the last furlong. But I can't seem to get a grasp on what we get ,even if the auction does well. thanks GLA

New poster here. Are you sure shareholders of this stock will receive the benefit of the auctioned off product. Of course from the volume and SP it looks like they will.Still a pure gamble for most, and then theirs those who are sure, lol. I guess they will hold it close to the vest. Gl, keep digging !
Does anyone have?
an idea what the new business/company is? I was wondering if the optical store is still in the mix. The story remains full of surprises . lol Glta OC
Sunspot
you were so happy that the share price pulled backed that you had to pop in. Of course if we had kept the upward trek you would have never dropped in. Silly stuff you bring up. I know this for a fact you've been following this stock since it was at least 5 cents, why didn't you buy any? because it has issued warrants, so has Vermillion . Its hard to find anything this company has wrong with it. especially now. If you can smell the bacon thats been cooking round here ,then surely its real close by.
Wouldn't you want to know if you had Grage 3 Prostate Cancer or BPH?
Yes of course, I appreciate the info you provided. I may have asked the question for the wrong reasons or intent. Partly because of a nagging doubt, because its taking so long, but I agree with your rebuttle , I think we are very close to success.
I'm sorry to hear about your father, but close personal tragedy with prostrate cancer. does not have me convinced this test will be used. Sorry I sounded so harsh. I lost a family member to breast cancer, and I would like nothing more than to see Hdvy tests used to save lives. I guess I've grown a little impatient here. My prior post was worded poorly. gl
Why is this board empty
After a day like today . What gives . 10 cent . somebody tell me why the hell they need a test that tells you , that you have a 90 something percent chance of having prostrate cancer. I don't think people are gonna want or need that. We all know when we are over a certain age we might get it ,why do we need HDVY to assure us of it!
Correction
COO ,
Degreed
Nice chant, looks like we got an ex deputy director of the FDA as CEO . How bout doing a rain dance for a PR on the new test. lol
I'd like to hear some news on why Nigeria contract was not paid up. Thats the deal that got alot of us excited about this stock. almost 2 years and no news or payment wtf. if they collect that tab I might pump this again. In the mean time Their probably gonna need a few Blackhawks winging their way across the desert to collect that late payment. Jmo lol
AR is 4.9 million, guess thats mostly uncollected from Nigeria deal.
well Riley's has it
Ah , Does anyone know where a Riley's is?
Actually I heard they were bought by Shucks! but who knows
They have a alot to prove here. The lack of Pr's on anything they started is bad news.
They flat out don't communicate or have pretty much nothing to say, because they have nothing going!
SEC....
ALL BUSINESS: How tough is the SEC?
ALL BUSINESS: SEC looks tough, but actions against individual misdeeds will prove that

NEW YORK (AP) -- The government appears to be getting tough on corporate shenanigans, securing $83 million in fines last week from Bank of America and General Electric for misleading investors.

{"s" : "bac","k" : "c10,l10,p20,t10","o" : "","j" : ""} Problem is, it's like a traffic cop ticketing a speeding car instead of its driver.
No one at Bank of America or GE has been ordered to pay for their misdeeds. If the Securities and Exchange Commission is serious about cracking down on illegal behavior, the people -- not just companies -- must be held accountable.
"If the SEC really wants to regain its title of top cop, then it will have to prosecute individuals involved," said Thomas Gorman, who chairs the securities litigation practice at the law firm Porter Wright Morris & Arthur and is author of the blog, SECactions.com. "Big fines (at companies) won't stop bad behavior."
To be sure, any action -- even if it targets companies instead of people -- is a step forward for the SEC. Over the last year, it has been rightfully criticized for failing to spot major frauds, including Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme, and warnings signs leading up to the financial crisis.
Since Chairman Mary Schapiro took over in late January, the agency has been on a tear. Since then, its enforcement division has opened about 525 investigations, up from 475 during the same period in 2008.
During a June congressional appearance, Schapiro said that the "SEC needs to send a clear message that corporate wrongdoing will not be tolerated, and penalties for securities violations will be stiff."
But to keep her word, the SEC must not only extract settlements out of companies but also individuals responsible for corporate misdeeds. That's fairest to shareholders, who get stuck with the bill for corporate fines even though they've often been hurt the most by corporate misconduct.
"Entities don't do bad stuff. People do bad stuff," said Lynn Turner, former chief accountant for the SEC in the late 1990s who is now a senior adviser to LECG, a legal, economic and forensic accounting firm. "To stop that, people need to know the SEC is going to come down on them like a ton of bricks."
In recent months, the SEC has been more aggressive at targeting individuals. The biggest cases have included the charges regulators filed against former executives of mortgage lender Countrywide Financial, including former CEO Angelo Mozilo, for allegedly failing to disclose the risks of its business practices to investors. Also sued was a former executive of Beazer Homes for allegedly committing fraud and misleading company auditors.
But the cases against Bank of America and GE haven't gotten that far, and they should. The settlements are laudable, but the SEC could make a bold statement by pursuing the individuals involved. That could include anyone from the executive suite to auditors, lawyers and more.
In the case of Bank of America, the Charlotte, N.C.-based company agreed Monday to pay $33 million to settle federal charges that it misled investors about Merrill Lynch's plans to pay $5.8 billion bonuses to its executives. The SEC claims that Bank of America, as it sought approval to buy Merrill, told investors that Merrill would not pay the year-end bonuses without Bank of America's consent. Bank of America made that "materially false and misleading" claim in a mailing to 283,000 shareholders of both companies, the SEC said.
The bank settled the charges without admitting or denying the allegations.
Merrill ended up paying $3.6 billion in bonuses in 2008, even though it lost $27.6 billion that year, a record for the firm. The bonuses amount to nearly 12 percent of the $50 billion that Bank of America paid for Merrill.
On Tuesday, General Electric agreed to pay $50 million to settle federal charges that it committed accounting fraud for two years earlier this decade.
The SEC said that GE violated U.S. securities laws four times between 2002 and 2003 when accounting for items like commercial paper funding and the sale of train locomotives and aircraft engine spare parts. The SEC said the accounting maneuvering helped GE maintain a string of earnings that beat Wall Street expectations.
"GE bent the accounting rules beyond the breaking point," said Robert Khuzami, head of the SEC's enforcement division, in a statement when the settlement was announced.
GE, which is based in Fairfield, Conn., doesn't admit or deny the allegations, but said in a statement that it corrected its financial statements for SEC filings made between 2005 and 2008. GE said two of the violations outlined by the SEC were intentional, but that the other two were negligent errors by company officials, some of whom have been disciplined or fired.
In this case, the SEC left the door open for future actions by saying the charges "conclude the SEC's investigation with respect to the company." GE declined to comment on individuals.
As for Bank of America, the SEC said the investigation was ongoing. Bank of America spokesman Scott Silvestri said the company continues "to cooperate with authorities on all of these investigations."
But New York federal judge Jed Rakoff has ordered a hearing on the bank's proposed settlement. In a statement late Wednesday, Rakoff said the settlement "would leave uncertain the truth of the very serious allegations made in the complaint."
What happens next in both these cases should be closely watched. The outcome will say a lot about whether SEC today is really as empowered as the investing public hopes it will be.

Form 8-K for EMTA HOLDINGS, INC.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-Jun-2009
Amendments to Articles of Inc. or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
Item 5.03 Amendments to Article of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On May 21, 2009, in order to better reflect our mission statement and product base the Board of Directors of EMTA Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), consistent with the Bylaws and the provisions of Nevada Corporate Law, completed a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Green Planet Group, Inc. As a result, we have changed our name from "EMTA Holdings, Inc." to "Green Planet Group, Inc." The Board of Directors voted unanimously to change our name from EMTA Holdings, Inc. to Green Planet Group, Inc. On May 22, 2009, the Company filed the Articles of Merger pursuant to NRS 92A.200 with the Secretary of State of Nevada. A copy of the Certificate of Merger is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1. In conjunction with this merger the Boards of Directors of each company adopted an Agreement and Plan of Merger, attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2.
The ticker symbol for our Common Stock, which is listed on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board, is presently EMHD; however, we have made an application to FINRA to have a new symbol assigned to our Green Planet Group, Inc. Common Stock. In connection with the merger, the CUSIP number for the Common Stock is changing to: 393225 10 7.
They did not answer my fax not even an email. this company has no credability. they can't close deals. They have no innovative ideas to move forward with. And honestly their sales force sucks...all hype no results , product is not world class like lonergan says. we need results emta's running on empty. eom
Seems so . They have not given updates on any of their past deals in 2008. They all seem to have fallen through the cracks. I just recently faxed them and asked what became of .... Nigeria/Cood deal, Texas Deal, Share buyback, New website and name change, and the 20 million of revenues that were stated above the almost 100,000 million they now state. I'll post a response if they get back to me . I also asked them to try to update shareholders on progress of any of these deals and if any are in the works and a time line for their success. We'll see but I like yourself haven't seen any mention on closed deals. There may not be any. lol. The name changes weren't thought through either imo. The green change is legit but it doesn't exactly spell out their business.
Emta stated in prior press releases that they were making over 120 million with their new staffing company. now they are saying almost 100,000 million, which is it. I wish they would start telling the truth and let shareholders know exactly what they are doing with the other businesses too... no pr's, no communication. no share buy back! An Update now and then would be nice. Whens their 10 K coming out.
Everybody shhhhhhhh
If they need to they will issue more stock. As of now they just approved an increase in the outstanding shares, which they are holding onto in case they need it.
Yup, from what I've heard . But it should clear up once the selling is done. Its a good buy down here , just wait for the muddy water( dirty shares) to clear up.
Has anyone seen this info.....
Diagnostic Testing & Technology Report
MacroArray Ready to Introduce Non-Invasive Prostate Cancer Test
April 2007
MacroArray Technologies (Philadelphia, PA) has developed a novel prostate cancer test that relies on the urine-based diagnostic marker known as PCADM-1 (for prostate cancer diagnostic marker 1), a 33 kDa chromosomal protein that is overexpressed in malignant prostate tissue. The marker was discovered by researchers at the Drexel University College of Medicine, with which MacroArray has a licensing agreement. Abbott Laboratories (Abbott Park, IL) will be the first to market the PCADM-1 urine test, after adapting the assay to its own platform.
Is this a confict of interest. Why has Abbott licensed this test also. Is this just another biomarker test to be used in conjunction with Hdvy's test. or a competing test. Just doing a late night word search on Abbott's endeavors and this came up. Any explainations appreciated in advance. Thanks
LOl.......
OK, pretty much they get to setup another sit down to discuss/convince the FDA , to let them continue with the Phase 2 testing. I agree it doesn't look so good for acceptance at this point. But theres still time on the clock and other routes to run. I'm keeping my seat. This company will eventually get its product to market. lol, "I guess"
Looks like a meeting is gonna be set!

Out
I sold portion @ .27 will look for lower entry if availiable later this week
I'd like to know what the stated differences are ? We've submmited the improved protocol after the information from the first meeting was secured.Its probably still the same issue as it had before. I mean what else are we supposed to do. It sounds to me that FDA doesnt want to play ball. I can't stand the FDA at this point ,their just stubburn as hell imo. We still have Europe and Canada to do the testing if that works out maybe they will follow suit after good results. This is gonna be a long term hold for me. Eventually they get it done . glta
I have not seen anything on Website, there were actually a few helpful posts on Yahoo today. I think alot of people are shakin up with expectations.
Retiredend99
I came up with the over $ 1 mark from watching Nfld's runup and also the magnitude of the Fda willing to go forward with Oxbo product. JMO of course, but we hit .95 cents before we had the other application's and the new and better protocol. But I fear and agree with the drop we'll take if the news is bad.
This stock will be over $1.00 with any positive news from the FDA. The .40 cents we reached last week was folks betting we have a good shot at some fda acceptance. The sell off today was nerves over news that hasn't come when expected. Hopefully something from Oxbo ,negative or positive tommorrow because this is nerve racking I agree!
oops I meant Ed Lonergans company, got it confused with another penny stock thats got everything going for it , lol
My thoughts are they new each other and the Ceo of ESSI believes Clayton's company has huge potential if they can get the cash they need. This is aboslutely me guessing ,but thats what I pictured when the deal was first mentioned.
"why would you be acquired by EMTA? There are plenty of clean shells out there that would have been ecstatic to have a company of this reputed caliber. What is EMTA bringing to the table? It smells fishy"
I'm playing this as a speculation, nothing more. Like you said lets see how it unfolds. I believe this has huge potential from these levels.
The sales team is at Starbucks, probably trying to figure out how to get the last of that wall board up:<
I'm willing to wait for the 10Q. I don't believe their out of the woods yet. But hey I,m encouraged by what I'm hearing so far, and again at this price. I've already made a few trades in and out of the stock. I will eventually stay long when they have turned the corner to profitability.
In addition to absorbing ESSI's quarterly revenue, EMTA Holdings was also able to pay off one loan from Sauk Valley Bank of $340,000, and it paid down another loan by $50,000.
Their paying down debt from ESSi's cash flow. I don't think they are using draw downs against receivable financing?
At these price levels this stock is very undervalued. I'm hard press to find a better play, and yes it will take time for this to unfold. I believe the story and I think now is the time to buy cheap shares!
