They have nothing, but for a long time they were
the only ones who knew that.
Then...some of us began to know that too.
Then...they knew that we knew.
They've painted themselves into a corner and now....
They'll grab what they can and head for the hills.
There are lots of good people out there but sadly
some really awful, heartless people too.
Comments on this board DO matter!
Obviously word got back to someone "important"
and the sentiment shared by investors is clear.
Within the first 30 minutes of trading, 274,000 shares
were traded as someone rushed out the door.
This scam is disgusting, pathetic and SO wrong!!
Impatient about the time frame??
There is no time frame...there is nothing
there has been nothing.
I'm not a doctor but it's clear that SMME is bleeding out.
If they haven't already, they need to sign an AHCD, so someone
can pull the plug
Just in the first 11 trading days of January
SMME has issued 8 press releases.
8 out of 11 possible days.
They are in their own world! And a desperate world it is.
I too would like to hear some bullish comments.
But sadly, (and I sincerely mean this)...sadly,
SMME is showing it's true character...actually
lack of character...today.
MAY not be a card????
If by card, you mean something other than the illusion of
a card....then I ask again, MAY not be a card?
GETH SUCKS!!
Gary, how can one human being do this to
other human beings?
I refer you back to your own post (8394) dated 12/07.
This release of the same old stuff sure has been an effective strategy, hasn't it?
I bet if the company could actually DO something rather than talk about DOING something, that might actually get some attention
Someone recently supported the incessant release of "new"
press information...suggesting that it would bring new
eyes.
Imagine being the one with those new eyes seeing a "new"
press release. THEN...looking at the previous 40 or more
"new" press releases over the last few months. They all
say pretty much the same thing. THEN... looking at the
lack of any significant trading, what other conclusion could
the mind behind those eyes come to other than these are empty
words and this is nothing more than a pump and dump
TO SMME
Even you folks can see by now (it's painfully obvious)
that these repeated 'news' releases are not moving the
needle AT ALL !
Actually I think it's hurting.
How 'bout just staying quiet for a while and waiting
until you have something of substance...something more
than words
So what if 7 out of 10 people are afraid.
What does that have to do with anything?
How does that correlate to SMME having anything to counter that fear.
If SMME has THE card, THE plant, THE ANYTHING, then put it out there for the investors to see.
Otherwise, we can only conclude that, after all this time, all these incessant "press releases" are just empty words
In response to the question of who's buying..
If this were my company and things were spinning out of control I think I'd try and get a little cash. Offer shares at a reduced price to folks who needed to get paid...like the PR people. So likely, no one is really buying
I'm thrilled to see such great support for SMME.
Finally we can rise above all this negativity
just long enough for me to recover some of my
losses and get the heck out of this pathetic stock.
Someone posted recently asking why an investor in this company would say negative things. Seems counterproductive.
But, at some point principle trumps money.
I'm hoping the SMME inner circle will evolve to that point soon
7 press releases in August
3 more in September
12 more in October
Absolutely no meaningful content in any of them.
Shameful. Impossible to imagine that anyone inside thinks this will move the needle.
There seems to be overwhelming merit to justify contacting the SEC. Won't you PLEASE consider contacting the SEC?
You mentioned that there are rules regarding disclosure.
Who sets those rules for OTC stocks and who enforces them?
And would you or someone else please consider inviting them to
evaluate procedural correctness?
SMME down 11% today.
SMME down about 50% in the last5-6 months.
Investors are speaking much louder and more truthfully than SMME with it's ridiculous, empty and incessant press releases.
The shares traded this week are an SMME officer trying to get enough cash to pay the rent?
What a bunch of BS!!
6 degrees of separation.
I'm sure many of you know about this theory.
PennysRus415 posts on this board as well as one for GETH...supportive of both Companies.
I got drawn into investing in that Co as well.
If you want to see what SMME looks like in a different costume, look at GETH.
Criminal. Good luck getting your money back
I think it's fair to say that many of us, if not all of us, are feeling pretty stupid for having fallen for this company (GETH).
and in the last week or so, as soon as trading closes, up until it opens the next morning, someone is making bids at .03 (3 cents)
and offers to sell at .29 (29 cents).
Maybe they think we are even that much more clueless that we might not notice that decimal point. Insulting!
So, what do we call today's higher than normal (how desperately sad) 9500 shares traded?
The illusion of activity (less than $500)?
Just shares being shuffled between a few in the inner circle?
Manipulation?
Simply meeting the minimum requirement of some volume of shares traded over time, so the company can remain listed?
At the very least it can be called pathetic.
To Gary's spokesperson:
Someone is able to talk to Gary, so please pass this along. I invite Gary's responses.
Lou Perches (COO)abandons ship in Nov 2014. WHY?
GETH makes an agreement to bring in Black Lion Oil also in Nov 2014. Between Nov '14 and Aug of this year, Black Lion is given 6.2 million GETH shares in exchange for what exactly?
By the way, Black Lion Oil was set up in May of 2013.
"their current status is Dissolved, with the company closing on Weds April 8th, 2015." (so, at least 1,500,000 shares were transferred to a company that had already dissolved). "The company's current directors Christopher Smith...had been the director of 3 other Irish companies....all now closed"
Back in Feb 2015, GETH makes an agreement with Cenco (a Texas corporation) and I believe the plan was to launch a first of several plants to convert tires/plastics to oil.
By the way, the status of Cenco (Texas) prior to the agreement, as well as at the time the agreement was made, and currently, is not a valid company.
Gary you have had YEARS to get something off the ground. Lots of talk, lots of agreements with Petrasonics/Black Lion Oil/Cenco. And in all that time, NOT ONE ACTIONABLE STEP. You have nothing ...nada...zero...to show for any of it.
Time to step up...man up. You can respond to this either in a press release or a phone conference, or perhaps you'd prefer to answer to this in a court of law. You choose.
Yes...nice job on the update.
The last official update came exactly 6 months ago Cenco agreement
Out of respect for everyone, there should have been something Gary
could think of to say to all of us.
And, I'm sorry he's been working the last 6 months without pay, while the stock has languished between .06 and .04. All of us have been without any financial benefit as well.
I completely agree with the sentiment of the last messages.
This is only my opinion, but I believe that Gary never had a viable technology nor the intention of launching anything!
I believe the entire thing was a scam and again, my opinion, that he simply took the money and the heart from a lot of well intended folks.
If anyone has the know-how to initiate a class action law suit, please step forward. The "room" would be overflowing with people wanting to join forces.
I am the last one that wants to say "I told you so".
But just because I told you so, please refer to the following posts....#5191/5200/5220/5224/5339.
The SEC won't do a thing but I would support a class action lawsuit if any of you know how to get that started.
and FYI... I did read over the agreement.
In addition to the many concerns already expressed, it's spelled out that the price of benchmark crude has to be at least $62/barrel. Below that, the "plant" will lose money and can simply choose not to fire up the burners. Right now, oil is well below that with no major adjustment in sight.
And all this time...years...Gary gets a salary, or the equivalent
of ?$300,000? annual.
It appears to have paid well to just string this all along
Yes, today is the day.
I did further research and confirming what I found from Corporation Wiki, Cenco Leasing (Texas) which formed 11/27/06, became no longer active 5/21/10.
Another source, Texas Corporates, showed the same dates, but listed Cenco Leasing (Texas) filed 5/21/10 as Forfeited Existence.
There is also a sister company, Cenco Leasing out of Wichita, KS.
Both with Courtney Rogers.
Gary, it would have been so much better for you to have been open and transparent with your shareholders....if for no other reason than out of simple respect and appreciation for the trust we all had in your vision.
It appears that our trust has been grossly misplaced and your vision was not what it seemed.
Once more time....WAKE UP!
The agreement Gary (GETH) signed recently was with Cenco Leasing out of Texas. Google it yourself!. According to the Texas Secretary of State, their most recent businesses update of 2/16/15, shows Cenco in an "inactive" status. This means that at the time of the agreement, Cenco was not a viable business. Gary signed an agreement with a ghost. Courtney Rogers WAS the former director and presumably, as the former director, he signed on behalf of a company (Cenco, that is not currently a real company.
This all appears to be very illegal.
So, I will give Gary the opportunity to issue a press release and clear this all up. If there is no explanation by the end of business on March 18th, I will invite the SEC to look into this.
WAKE UP!!
Ebbros (mentioned re: new signed agreements) is a small electric utility Co with 5 employees...one of whom is Gary De Larentis.
Also, the agreement Geth signed is with Cenco Leasing out of Texas. That Company is inactive (no longer a real company)
Courtney Rogers was involved with Cenco. He is also either currently involved or was involved with several other Companies such as Cortex Energy/Eco-Frac/Sonterra Oil and Gas.
This whole thing sure smells like a rat and feels like nothing but smoke and mirrors.
Don't any of you care about getting to the truth?
there is limited info on Ebbros Energy, but it seems to be a small electric utility in (St Louis, Mo) and lists Gary De laurentis as one of it's 5 employees.
No mention of Courtney Rogers as part of that company.
Very interesting
That's like firing the EMT that's trying to get your heart re started.
I wish the Board (Gary) would refund the money I used to purchase shares in Geth, and then fire me as a shareholder.
I would take that offer in a New York minute.
please...no b.s. is there anyone that posts on this site that has any authority in the Company? Does anyone know if anyone in the Company has experience in writing grants?
I have a really good idea but don't want to waste it if the answers are 'no'.
thanks
Happy Valentine's Day everyone.
I don't think it's useful to be adversarial with one another.
I do think there are some serious questions raised by the lack of performance on Gary's part.
If this technology IS the real deal, then why aren't there plants up and running?
Is it the real deal??
If it is the real deal, then it seems like it comes down to Gary just being too damned greedy. Does he think he should have a 90/10 with an investor and they have wanted 50/50? (or however the numbers play out).
Every alliance that has been in the works has fallen out.
Gary has some serious explaining to do and he just sits in the corner and says nothing of value.
my mistake.
see report 10-Q dated May 14.
Scroll down to recent developments and read about the then new agreement with Cenco ahead of what was to be the Stockton plant opening
this exciting news re: a new signed agreement with ceneco...
please see press release from May 8, 2013.
That was a new agreement with Ceneco. This is like Ground Hog Day.
Same crap...different day.
This is criminal.
Gary is either stupid, arrogant, greedy, or all of the above.
And clearly, he must think we are all idiots
I appreciate the tone of the last message, but...
there are over 5000 posts on GETH, and there has been conversation about starting up the (1st) plant for a very long time. If this were the real deal, there would have been funding coming out of the woodwork four, even three, even 2, even one year ago. And there is NOTHING but words...and not even many of those over the last year. I'm an idiot for giving the CEO spending money and he's a #&@$*% for taking it.
SERIOUS QUESTION looking for a serious answer.
Would the SEC find the complete absence of any actual
action over such a long period of time, reason for investigation?
This all seems like B.S.. Gary, if you read these posts then I ask that if it's all B.S., just get it over with and end it.
If it's not B.S., then get on with it!
New Plant!.......
It will be called Never Never Land. I wonder who would play the role of Captain Hook? Hmmmmm. I think some one from the SEC might get cast for Peter Pan.
This is all just plain wrong!!
Gary
Are you a fan of Bernie Madoff? Is there any actual merit to your company and it's technology? This has been a long and painful road with NOTHING to show for it
