I'm going to answer your questions like you do mine...
Shawn knows about PURO
Yes, I wanted to see if you did. I do my own DD thanks for asking.
Here is your question -- I am sorry, but is Priveco Purio and Pubco the shell?
Sounds like he is saying the float is even larger than I thought
How do you get to that?
Also, if you know the answers to your questions, why ask? So what is the answer to the P P P question?
You are encouraged to call IR and/or the transfer agent to verify information. The total float is the free trading shares, only 27.5 million currently (other shares are held by insiders broken down by Shawn last night). The other shares will come due on Feb 14th according to Shawn in IR who is trying to verify such.
Worst case scenario, and they are added to the float on 02/14/09, that gives PURO 1.5 months after the 1st of the year to release major contract news, a contract with large dollar figures attached to it will easily absorb those shares. We aren't talking about 100's of millions of shares, or billions of shares, such as with most other OTC or Pinksheet stocks. Even with these shares, free trading shares will be under 100 million.
I'm not sure why this subject keeps coming up.
Non-pinksheet stock here.
Thanks for the MM stevo, I marked you earlier today. Here's to the northern bound train which is PURO. Have a good evening.
If you don't mind catpuff, what exactly did you ask them?
How much volume do you guys see? Scottrade is only showing 1,000 shares so far.
2009 not 2008 correct Shawn? Thanks for jumping in and clarifying!
PURO is no longer in R&D phase, they are out and about working on closing contracts not trying to further develop their technology. 27 million shares? Blah...piss in the wind if you ask me.
Now what I would like to see is dollar amounts attached to contract signing PR's...until that happens there will be many doubters. Hopefully, that will happen very soon.
Today's trading action was very strange, it really jumped around, I think news may have leaked a little. But it may not have been anything...we'll see.
No brainer here folks, no dilution, going back up to .20's shortly
You are surrounded by some experienced investors here. Good luck!

PURO presented at Town hall meeting in Ohio today
Town hall meeting in Columbus, Ohio
- Saturday 13 December 2008.
By Emmanuel S.Leigh, Columbus, Ohio.
At a well-attended town hall meeting held at Haimerl Centre, Columbus , recently , Sierra Leoneans saw the manifestation of their President's seriousness in his call for Sierra Leoneans to return home, invest in and take control of their country's future.
Delivering this message on behalf of the president was a top-level delegation comprising Dr. Michel Sho-Sawyer, Director of the Office of Diaspora, Mr. Raymond Kai Gbekie, Director of Sierra Leone Investment and Export Promotion Agency (SLIEPA), Mr. Raymond Moshe Roberts, Director of Banking, Sierra Leone Commercial Bank (SLCB), Mr. Michel Collier, Director of Banking, Rokel Commercial Bank, and headed by no less a person than the Hon. Alpha Kanu, Minister of Presidential Affairs in the President's Office. Mr. Sheku Mesali, First Secretary of the Embassy of Sierra Leone, Washington DC represented Ambassador Stevens at the meeting. Also present were Messrs Daryl R. English and Earl M. Switenky of Purio Environmental Water Source, Inc., Canada (www.puriowatertech.com), who gave a presentation on their water purification system.
Chaired by Mr. Thomas N. Senessie, Secretary of the Sierra Leone Club of Columbus, Ohio, the meeting was opened with Christian and Muslim prayers. The president of the Sierra Leone Club of Columbus, Mr. Abass Bangura welcomed the Hon. Minister and his entourage to Columbus , and expressed his appreciation to His Excellency, Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma for sending such a high-powered delegation to visit Sierra Leoneans in Ohio . This, he said, cements the fact that just as Ohio plays a pivotal part in the election of American presidents, so are Sierra Leoneans in Ohio a force to reckon with in the development their country. Mr. Bangura also welcomed other Sierra Leoneans from Cleveland , Cincinnati and other surrounding vicinities in Ohio that graced the occasion.
The first presentation was by the Mr. Sheku Mesali, who informed attendees that the Embassy was in the process of constructing a database of all Sierra Leoneans in the USA , and urged those present to fill out the forms he circulated. He expressed the importance of the Diaspora to the development of our country.
The next speaker was SLIEPA's Mr. Raymond Kai Gbekie who gave a brief historical background of the agency (it came into being with an Act of 2007), and an overview of its functions and role: to initiate information management for investors and co-ordinate relationship between the public and private sector; encourage local and international investment; set standards for big investments and establish codes to protect them, and register new businesses to help remove all bottlenecks that frustrate investments. Plans are underway to publish an investment guide and build SLIEPA provincial offices.
Gbekie also informed the audience that Government has invited UNCTAD to review the investment standards in Sierra Leone and harmonize them with international ones. Furthermore, he noted, in the first quarter of 2009, Sierra Leone will host a national investment forum, to include participants from the local and international community. SLIEPA is working to raise the standard of products export.
News about the banking system was what most people in the audience were yearning to hear about, and the two representatives were not shy about sharing the services and attractive opportunities available to Sierra Leoneans in the Diaspora who want to invest in their beloved country. The banking system is sound, Raymond Moshe-Roberts confirmed, and Sierra Leoneans can do banking with the SLCB in absentia. That same message was echoed by Michael Collier of Rokel Bank. Both banks offer high interest savings, checking, and foreign currency accounts, and hope to entice Sierra Leoneans abroad to remit money through the banking system. Mr. Collier also disclosed that Rokel has ATMs around the country; issues debit cards for point-of-sale use, and will soon issue VISA credit cards to be used worldwide. Attendees responded to all of this with great enthusiasm.
The Director of the Diaspora Office, Dr. Sho-Sawyer, reached out both physically and linguistically by delivering his presentation away from the podium, and in a mix of Krio and English. He provided the president's rationale for the setting up of his Office, based on the example of Ghana which has benefitted extensively from remittances and investments from its Diaspora. The Sierra Leone government, with UNDP support, is encouraging Sierra Leoneans to return home. Sho-Sawyer informed the audience that 50 professional positions have been identified, of which, 35 are to be filled by Sierra Leoneans and 25 could be filled by foreigners. He emphasized that the review process is highly transparent and impartial. Remuneration is competitive, and other perks include duty waivers for a 40-foot container (with personal effects) and one private car. He stressed that his office is open to Sierra Leoneans and friends of Sierra Leone who want invest in the country, and urged the audience to visit the website of the office at diasporaaffairs.gov.sl.
The eloquent speech delivered by the Hon. Alpha Kanu(photo) marked the high point of the evening. He reiterated the important role Sierra Leoneans in the Diaspora can play in nation building. Hon. Kanu noted that the country is dependent on donor funding, an unreliable and untenable situation that the government hopes can be turned around through investment from this untapped source. He urged Sierra Leoneans to form consortia partnerships and invest in ventures in the country. He highlighted areas of investment such as, the Road Transport Authority, Sierra Leone Ports Authority and commercial banks.
Commenting on the energy sector, he announced that the Bumbuna hydro-electric project will be completed in 2009, and that on January 7, 2009 there will be the turning of the soil for similar projects in Port Loko, his home district, and Moyamba in the near future. On other positive developments, he cited the steps toward good governance being taken by the government, including the declaration of assets by all public officials and enforcement of ethical codes of behavior through strengthened anti-corruption laws, all of which have earned Sierra Leone the status of best country to do business in West Africa. He briefly touched on the fluctuating price of food in the country and said that by 2011, Sierra Leone will be self-sufficient in rice production. Hon. Kanu received resounding applause and a standing ovation.
The meeting could not be concluded without giving the stage to the chairpersons of the APC and SLPP chapters in Columbus , Ohio , Edward Bangura and Umaru Dumbuya respectively. The Sierra Leone Club of Columbus, Ohio is a diverse organization that encourages different viewpoints in its activities and embraces other organizations, regardless of tribe, religion or political affiliations.
Question time was lively and the audience wanted answers on a wide variety of issues. One on infant mortality was answered by the Minister, wherein he quoted an example of the initiative of a Doctor in the Koinadugu District to minimize infant mortality. The Doctor's initiative has been successful and doctors in other districts are hoping to emulate his initiative, no home delivery. On another on insurance for investments in Sierra Leone , the SLIEPA director pointed out that his organization is putting modalities together for the coverage of investments, with local and foreign insurance companies. Mr. Michael Collier reiterated that there is the presence of insurance and re-insurance with Llyods Bank at Rokel Commercial Bank for all investments.
Someone wanted to know what measures government was taking to mainstream the informal business sector. This will slowly be absorbed into the formal sector with the movement of financial institutions to the provinces and adult education, the Minister responded. On question about the deplorable condition of feeder roads in the country, the Hon. Minister quoted a paragraph from National Budget of 2009 in which, government addressed the issue by allocating funds to that sector.
The meeting ended on a high note and Sierra Leoneans in the Diaspora expressed optimism about the present government's commitment to making Sierra Leone regain her past glories.

I found this at 9 cents luckily, noticed PURO was ranked in the top 5 busiest boards on iHub and wondered in to see what all the buzz was about. It matched some of my basic investing criteria (non-pinksheet, ungagged TA, under 500 million OS, either current revenues or soon to be producing revenues, technology or service I can relate to). Watched it for a few days and jumped in when it quickly dipped to 9 cents, was in the green by end of day.
Originally I was going to sell after 200% gain but decided to keep it till after New Years to see what the company will PR. I love this board, everyone is positive with some big names in here as well. I like to be with experienced posters.
Good weekend to all, looking forward to next week
This will be back in the 20's in a blink of an eye...
Exactly, that's the beauty of PURIO and what they are trying to do with their technology.
Thanks, that was what I was thinking. This could signify support and movement back north starting tomorrow.
What do you think vz...do you think that is a hammer formation today?
Ok thanks, that did not show up on my streamer
I see .16 close....5000 shares went through @ 16 cents at 15:58:59
We picked up several new bookmarks today = 151
That didn't last long
PURO stock on sale here folks, if you aren't in yet, now would be the perfect time
MM's might have brought this down just to possibly entice people to sell so they can obtain some shares...they may be dry at the moment
Shares may be drying up and hard to come by at this time after the recent volume.
Agreed, I would like to see a PR with some dollar amounts attached.
Down on low volume, Up on huge volume. Pretty simple to see what is going on here guys.
This is not a pinksheet stock.
Oh I know...I can't stand it when people come to a board and just try to stir up trouble.
So if your "prediction" doesn't come true, will you be investing?
This stock reminds me of PTSC which I jumped in about this price several years ago. A few months later they were trading over $1.00. I sold that stock quickly for a small profit unfortunately before it hit the dollar mark. This stock is very strong and consistently takes 3 steps forward and 1 step back. It was in a strong uptrend as is PURO now. This is just the ground floor here though, a nice area to jump in or add to what you currently have. Not saying this will be over a dollar in a few months but it's showing the same strength and devotion from it's executives as PTSC did a few years ago.
Hey now get in line, it starts outside the room and down the hallway. :)
Pre-Market trade just went through for .20 1,500 shares
It's fairly clear the purpose of this poster. Guys, don't waste your time.
