C'mon Weedie!!

Taking the opportunity to add today.

Paid .046, .047, and .049 for 50+K so far this am.
Tennzi-meister....sure is chilly on the left coast today. Rain's a comin'. Gonna go plant some mulberry trees, both white and black fruited varieties. Ate the last of the figs yesterday.
Best to all!

tennz-ster,
A ridgeback was one of the worst dogs I've been around. Ex-wife's choice. Killed some prize pygmy goat. (Was identified via the "ridge". LOL) Got sued. Cost plenty. Sucked in other ways too.
A fine memory......after I'm done drinking w juggsy.
Firm believer in friendly mutts.
Bestingly yours,

When stripes get changed so quickly from one extreme to another it almost always gives me pause.
Especially coming from a fellow "senior citizen".....with our general reputation for being set in our ways, and slow to change.
Has there been a true "realization" experience, and has the poster truly seen the light? If so.....GREAT!
Or are the glib chameleonic postings serving hidden motives?
When "RAH RAH!" on one side switches completely to "RAH, RAH!" on the other side, my ears perk up.
Just observing.

hotdogs... Thanx for sharing!
Don't know about others on this thread, but in my various circles a lot of wacky stuff is going on. Of late I've been seeing a lot of compromising of ethics at the expense of others. Usually steady people are selling their souls cheaply.
I've found my defensive sheilds to be on guard a lot more recently.
I know it's the new beer I tried talking....but anyone else experiencing similar scenarios.
Anyway, hotdogs, your refreshing posts contrasted positively w the above feelings.

10-Z....Thx for the report!
PS Not a peep out of the Summiteers. Perhaps a closed deal would catalyze a meeting.

Job well done...and my best wishes for many more good years together.

RB, never great to begin with, has been horrible lately.
My experience here has been much better, so far.
Question for the moderators. Any policy, or plans to deal with, the inevitable bashboy type of posting? Harsh questions are fine, but empty trash is unwanted by me personally.
So......how much freedom of speech on this venue?? LOL

My phone rang....but it was a hangup.
Musta been the teleconference.
Thought I detected a bit of heavy breathing.
Is that good or bad???

Teemer...Mostly agree.
I think it's very likely that our boy has "accrued cash benefits" discretely along the way. After all he does seem to enjoy, and want, the lifestyle now, that he envisions w the success of the battery. I'm sure he'd want a much snazzier lifestyle in the future, and consequently I feel the "end game" does go beyond current perks, to a desire for success w either product.
Large egos are OK, in fact necessary, for eventual success.
My fear is that there are potentially some fatal flaws in the personality/ego. The "end game" desire may be there, but the tools may be lacking.
IE, some people want the control so badly, that they will kill the golden goose, thru other faults of theirs, but by golly they will maintain the control right down to the death throes. There sure seem to be aspects of that happening here.
At any rate, time will tell in this never a dull moment scenario.
Best to you,
hockeydoc
True, Rooster, but....
your obsequious deification of, and fealty to, LB borders on stellar overdrive hype, probably of the beta variety.
No wonder many are annoyed, myself included.
Best,
hockeydoc
PS As always, the proof is in the pudding.
Show me the pudding!!
PPS "But LB hasn't sold a share."
Yeah right. It's too friggin easy to make those unrecorded side deals w "consultants" and other ilk, and have benefits stream back to the source. Pulleeeeze!
h-dogs....So much smoke is being blown in every direction that it's hard to see the sell button for all the haze.
Who's hidden the official, up to date, Good Guy - Bad Guy Scorecard???

Amen to your thoughts, Graeme!
Except for your shareholder representative to the board.
Great idea.....AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.....at least not from a groundswell from us little folk.
I realize your intent is pure, and noble, but in the cut-throat real world, the power players are gonna slug it out until one is left standing, or one bows to the other. Even if we come to a legal or regulatory standstill, our clout, even w our millions, is miniscule.
For now, your anti-inflammatory message is appreciated.
Best,
hockeydoc
Rooster....Altho I agree that cooling it is about all we can do (I believe we are fairly powerless in this situation), I MUST call you on your schizophrenic flip-flops on Lee Balak.
Makes me REALLY wonder who you're in bed with.
Last month you were calling him a liar, and asking for his resignation....and now he's back to being neater than sliced bread again.
Your credibility, never strong in my book to begin with, plummets w these reversals.
At least Preamps flip-flops are somewhat understandable w the emotional overtones....but yours seemingly deal w material facts, and raise a big red flag for me.
Can you explain yourself??
Confused in California,

Don....Years ago, I was invested in private placement cobalt mine claims in NE Idaho thru a patient of mine.....and that's pretty much what happened.
It was a deposition and not a board meeting...but anyway, the chief geologist pulled out a 45, shot his older brother who was one of two money guys, the other money guy (my patient), wounded a lawyer, and eventually shot himself.
Later I ended up in a relationship w one of the widows, and a couple of years later we met w the wounded lawyer in the room where it all took place, in Boise.
Weeks prior, I had offered to mediate the sibling dispute, which ended up in court.
The idiot board member who essentially inherited majority interest, let it all slip thru his/our fingers.
It was a weird chapter in my life.
Best,
hock
Mvn....Only thing for sure is that Peep loves to hear himself yap away, thinks he's clever, has plenty of time on his hands to fritter, and is enjoying his ambivalent notoriety.
Rest of us seem to be in "wait and see" mode.
BTW....This is a BETA hypothesis on my part. (IMO)
Best,
hock
Don...Agree w all of your points.
As yourself, I am a fairly large holder, and would LOVE for this puppy to be a facilitator for a comfy retirement.
Best,
hock
Don...IMO organizing any shareholder action/leverage in our situation is close to impossible. Management/large shareholders hold most of the cards and can easily impede/ignore the "little guys".
If, on the other hand, fraud or other illegal activity is occuring (which I don't believe to be the case here), shareholder recourse/leverage increases, but the outcome is just as futile, as assets have typically evaporated.
Our only realistic course of action is either "wait and see" (inaction), or sell. Both suck, currently.

hockeydoc
OT..Likewise hotdog. 'Preciate it!

Bob, I agree.
They're mostly concerned right now w saving their own sorry little arses and piles of shares. Shareholders are the last thing on their minds right now....not that they/we were ever on the forefront of their consciousness. Truthtelling right now would likely catalyze further selling, cause downward spiraling, and scare off any angels/scavangers/business partners on the horizon.
The boys are in scramble mode, trying to salvage what they can....and I'm sure as logs speculates, that fingers are being pointed everywhichway. We're not likely to hear anything officially for awhile, till the muddy water settles, and there is either a glimmer of hope, or the next/last scam attempt is initiated in order for them to pull whatever money they can off the table.
Right now I'd speculate that there are equal chances that we lose most/all, or recoup a decent percent of our investment, and only a small chance that we make any significant profit.
That's why "they" say to pick about 10 of these speculative investments. If one or two fly, you look like a genius. If you only have one, and it dumps, you look/feel like a chump.
Harsh stuff. Yuck.

Rooster....What changed your mind re LB?
You used to be just about his biggest booster.

Best of luck to Wolf.
Hope he's good at cleaning up OPM's.
(that's Other People's Messes)

Sure is quiet around here.
Everyone still digesting, gut checking....or calmly waiting for some concrete info.
Altho what we have (obviously) is unsubstantiated hearsay....the allegations are pretty serious.
Since there has not been any refutation of this "rumor"....or exposure of the post or poster as a fraud, I'm sure many of us are going thru "what if" scenarios in our minds and guts.
Altho most of us had realized that there were some serious problems at the home office....I'd hate to think that Wolf's ascension was catalyzed by cheesy circumstances. I especially hate to admit that even as I type this, the scenario alluded to in the post has a scent of plausibility to it.
OK...I can see where a wait and see approach is called for here.
ANYBODY OUT THERE??
hock
Well that's good to hear......but on the other hand is the following serious hearsay posted on RB.
Note that the poster had a prior ongoing conversation w "kid.." who apparently had contact w Snaper, and then never really fully reported back to the board. Also, semi-interestingly, they both have similar RB history.....timespan, posting only a handful on PWTC only, and both in Oregon. Could be a contact person, or could be a coincidence.
Also could be a player w negative intent.
ANYWAY....here's the post;

I have spoken to another investor who happened to catch Al Snaper at the Las Vegas facility, even though it is closed. He informed me that the reason that Mr. Balak resigned is because he was forced to as he was writing bad checks to Mr. Snaper for Power Technology, who is the in the process of filing criminal bad checks charges against Mr. Balak. It is due to these bad checks that the Las Vegas facility is closed.

Please pass on our best wishes for a speedy, and uneventful recovery.

Just read recently that Randy Bachman wrote that tune as a throwaway to tease his stuttering brother. Didn't even want to release it. It became their biggest hit.
Hope the same is true here.
