The pace of High-Tech acquisitions is really picking up.
I like what IBM has been doing lately. I wish they would look at MTPR.
FYI: interesting article:
Which Tech Companies Will Be Acquired Next?
"IBM's buyouts of document management software developer Datacap, marketing software developer Unica, data warehousing appliance vendor Netezza, and risk management software firm OpenPages."

Not a bad day here, UP 15.79% with good volume...
...that is nearly twice the 50-day average.
Could be another run starting.
VV
I guess the point being they need to do something with the stock structure.
Whether it is a forward split, or a dividend of shares, or issue new shares, etc., I don't really care.
I just want to see this stock trade. This is BORING!
Good Luck to All Longs.
VV
palacian, Hey, no problem at all.
There should be someway to justify spending time with this investment, and posting on this forum. So I suppose mock humor works as well as anything.
Good Luck to You!
VV
Sorry, but I just don't see the humor in my post.
I was just stating an observation. The Bid today is twice what it was two days ago, and three times what it was two weeks ago. It ain't much but it is "change" in a good direction.
In fact, I really don't see anything humorous about this situation.
"Funny", as in peculiar, yeah sure...
VV
Nice to see that the Bid has risen to 19 cents.
I hope that it goes a lot higher.
Good Luck to All Longs.
VV
zoran, Yeah, its been going on for several weeks now.
One of the chief troublemakers followed another poster over here with the singular purpose of continuing the personal attack that they started over there. Before that I wasn't even following that forum. So I started posting over there in a similar manner as they post here. They really didn't like that. As the old saying goes, "they can dish it out but they can't take it".
Since that episode happened I have been doing my level best to keep the invaders at bay. But they're just perpetually "on the attack", and as I have explained to them many times, that is not permitted on IHub, where there are site rules that facilitate a civil and mutually respectful dialogue. Apparently, they choose to NOT GET IT, and that is clearly NOT what they want. So they whine and complain endlessly over there, about what goes on here. As long as they keep it over there then there is no problem here. That's the most important part.
Unfortunately, It's such a sorrowful experience for me personally. Because I just really want to be accepted by the group, and help others. And I'm such a sensitive person, and all of this name calling and mud slinging has hurt my feelings to the core, over several weeks now. And I am certainly still feeling all of those "flaming arrows in my back" shot from such a great distance.
And if you believe my last paragraph, then I have a big red bridge crossing SF Bay to sell to you. LOL!
As far as I can tell some folks here are also reading that forum. I have no problem with that as we all need a little entertainment once in a while. But the big difference is that THAT forum is really a "cult of personalities", each trying to outdo or control the others. And they will use any trick to do that, mostly involving rudeness and insults. Whereas, over here the dialogue is going to be constrained to only Instacare, as the site rules dictate.
It is my PERSONAL view, as an investor only, that we should just stick with the known and verifiable facts. But I'm certainly not going to enforce any personal agenda. This is an open forum and it will remain so. However, I would like to point out that last month, over there, the "rumor" was that the company was going private. Now in the last two days the company is being acquired, or whatever. It is just one new made-up story after another...
Good Luck to All Real Longs...
VV
zoran, There is insider information being disseminated on the Yahoo forum about current negotiations for acquisition of this company for about .09 per share.
This is all just forum discussion going on over on the Yahoo forum. You can read about it over there.
Good Luck.

Looks like Warp9 is a chronic late filer. This could be a big problem.
WNYN record of filings for extension:
NT-10-K filed 9/27/2010
NT 10-Q filed 5/14/2010
NT 10-Q filed 2/16/2010
NT 10-K filed 9/25/2009
As I recall, the way this works, is that if they are late filing 3 times in 2 years they may be delisted from the OTCBB down to the pink sheets.
Looks like they are right on the bubble. So, if they don't get the 10K out by about Oct14 then they might receive a delisting notice.
If this happens they can file a request to be reviewed. But in order to file that request they would have to pay a $5000 non-refundable fee.
So I sincerely hope they get thier filing done before the deadline.

#21:
How does the three strikes ineligibility rule work in practice? Pursuant to NASD Rule 6530(e), any OTCBB issuer that is delinquent in its reporting obligations three times in a 24-month period and/or is actually removed from the OTCBB for failure to file two times in a 24-month period is ineligible for quotation on the OTCBB for a period of one year. For a security to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, NASD Rule 6530 requires, in part, that the issuer of the security is required to file reports with the Commission or that the issuer of the security is a bank or savings associations (or holding company for such entities) that is not required to file reports with the Commission and, instead, makes filings with its applicable regulator. In addition to the foregoing, the issuer of the security must be current in its reporting obligations, subject to a 30 or 60 day grace period, as applicable. An OTCBB issuer will be deemed delinquent in its reporting obligations if the issuer fails to make a required filing when due or has filed an incomplete filing. In order for a filing to be complete, it must contain all required certifications and have been reviewed or audited as applicable, by an accountant registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board."
palacian, Well, as I said I don't think they'll do anything about it.
But as far as I know they can't be selling any shares to their friends, or to other "biker" groups, etc. There just aren't any new shares to sell. They would have to be issued out of "treasury" and SEC forms would have to be filed.
Right now there are only the 840K shares in the open market (the float) that are available to be bought or sold. Everything else, about 7.9 million, is unregistered and restricted.
Originally (10 months ago), there was only 38 million shares, of which CFO Gilbreath owned about 22 million. Then the seller company created another 50 million which were sold to Dent to give him controlling interest of the shell corporation. Then Dent (of MR) issued about another 640 million to distribute among the four owners. This amounts to about 91% dilution from the original pool of shares, most of which, I am guessing, are represented on this forum.
And finally, the "coup de gras", if you will, was the 1 for 85 Reverse Split, WITHOUT a reduction in the Authorized Limit. That leaves only 8.7 million in the Outstanding, most of which are still owned by the insiders. The company can still issue about 741 million more NEW shares if they want to. There is nothing to stop them from doing this. So why not?
But the ORIGINAL shareholders, who still own part of that original pool of stock, now own about 1.12% of the Authorized share limit. And potentially, we're still facing another round of massive dilution, at the discretion of the company. And as you may know, these Authorized Limits tend to become "self-fulfilling prophecies".
So what does it matter if they issue another 10 million shares into the open market? We're so deep in the hole now, most of us will never see daylight again. At least, with some descent market liquidity, we might be able to recoup some of our investment.
It may not sound like it, but I am really not trying to throw a wet blanket on this or bash it further. It is what it is. I have just never seen anything quite like this situation before. This is a new one on me. So I'm just searching for a way to extricate myself. And unfortunately, I'm not feeling very optimistic about a solution forthcoming from MonkeyRock. They just cause problems for shareholders; they don't solve them.
Now, if someone completely new to this stock were to step up and buy some shares at the current PPS, that just MIGHT BE a very reasonable thing to do, given the potential. I am not even considering that part of the equation. I will leave that for someone else to ponder.
Good Luck to All Longs.

VV
palacian, How about if the company sold another 10M shares...
... into the open market right now?
I fully realize that this would be dilutive to current shareholders. But we're already facing major dilution in about 6 months when the insider's shares become registered. And there is NO MARKET right now, as you point out.
In the short term, the net result would be that they could lower the Ask to a reasonable 20 cents, and keep the current Bid the same. I have a strong feeling that folks would step up and buy shares at 20 cents. And 10 million shares is not all that many these days.
That would provide another $2 Million cash for the company to do whatever with. I have no idea if they need it or not, but that's NOT the point.
Most importantly, it would get the trading volume going immediately. And whomever would buy at 20 cents would probably want to hold for a profit above that PPS. So in effect, when the 10M shares are all sold there would be a new HIGHER price floor for the current shareholders.
The company could get this done before year's end and help US, and themselves out in the process. But I doubt they're going to do it. So far, they have acted only in their own self-interest. And I just don't think they actually have the imagination or the vision to understand the problem that I am describing.
But if they don't do something like this, to relieve the lack of market liquidity, there will be major negative payback when their unregistered shares are eventually available to sell. They are wasting extremely valuable time in building a financial market presence. Who in their right mind would buy shares for $1.50 when facing another possible 91% dilution scenario? And how long are they going to allow this condition to persist?
Currently, the Authorized is 750 Million, the Outstanding is 8.7 million, and the public float is a mere 840,000. There is not enough liquidity for this to trade anywhere near reasonable.
Personally, I've never seen a stock "stuck" this badly.
All just my opinion...
VV
Good advise!
Except you don't call the SEC to file a complaint. There is an online form for that.
http://www.sec.gov/complaint/selectconduct.shtml
This is always an option of any investor in any stock. But shouldn't ever be taken lightly.
In the case of Instacare, we have a claimed very large independent/outside shareholder sitting at the corporate decision table and involved in very sensitive negotiations that may adversely affect the value of my investment. Then posting about it on a public forum. I just don't think this is proper.
So I will take your counsel under advisement, and decide later.
Have a Good Day.
VV
The 200-day average volume is 367,971.
So we're not really that far off.
But you bring up a valid point.
Generally speaking, human beings tend to be fearful of the unknown. So they tend to fill in the blanks with some sort of plausible scenario in order to manage their fear. This is basically just a manufactured "belief". And whatever scenario they choose, it is at the mutual exclusion of all other plausible scenarios. So this process tends to be very constrictive and can quickly obscure facts that don't support it.
Unfortunately, the downside to beliefs is that they tend to become very powerful, to the point that they can actually displace or even delay recognition of the actual truth. You see this all the time with the rampant "blame game" being played. Yeah, "the problem" is all due to the "flippers" or the "market makers", (or today) the "hostile takeover", etc. (pick one). Blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada.
I am certainly not trying to tell YOU or others how to deal with this situation. I am simply relying on my own logic and common sense. So from my viewpoint it is best to NOT buy into this unsubstantiated forum BS. Unless you enjoy being taken for a ride.
Just consider the source: you have someone who claims to own millions of shares, who is very close to management, and is posting behind an alias on a public forum. And this person routinely moves to preemptively attack posters (on the other forum) who question what they post. So, in essence, they're more or less, "demanding" that this missive be accepted at face value, and as the truth. Everything that has taken place over there in the last few weeks is a setup for this occasion. It is often called "prepping the audience".
IF TRUE, which I doubt, then it is a clear case of divulging "insider information", which violates SEC Regulations. And IF NOT TRUE then it is a blatant attempt to manipulate pubic opinion. And given the source, that may also be illegal stock manipulation.
All just my opinion...
VV
Yeah, back in the day this company really had something good...
...going for it. But now it is nothing more than a piece of over-cooked toast.
There is no there THERE! Nothing! Nada! Zilch!
This is a perfect example of what Convertible Debentures and Death Spiral Financing can do to a good company.

Traders manipulating cheap stocks: market maker
By Jonathan Spicer WASHINGTON | Sun Sep 26, 2010 6:40pm EDT
Knight, a top U.S. market maker for individual investors, and the other four largest market makers discussed this problem with federal securities regulators on Thursday, Jamil Nazarali, Knight's global head of electronic trading, told reporters on Friday.
"It happens for hundreds of millions of shares per day," Nazarali said, adding that this type of market manipulation is hard to prove. The gaming costs Knight "tens of thousands of dollars" per day on some days, he said on the sidelines of a Security Traders Association conference here.
Nazarali added that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission officials "seemed empathetic" to the concerns of the five firms that execute much of the orders of individual, or retail, investors -- Knight, UBS AG (UBS.N), Citadel Investment Group, Citigroup Inc (C.N), and E*Trade Financial Corp (ETFC.O).
SEC spokesman John Heine neither confirmed nor denied the meeting. He did not comment on gaming in sub-dollar stocks.
The manipulation concerns come months after the May "flash crash" stoked a debate over fairness in the mostly electronic marketplace, which has grown faster and increasingly complicated in the last decade.
At issue is whether an individual trader is using separate brokerage accounts to trade against himself, something known as a wash trade. Shares that regularly trade below $1, such as Sirius XM Radio Inc (SIRI.O) and Level 3 Communications Inc (LVLT.O), are the typical targets, Nazarali said.
Exchanges charge fees to those that execute against standing buy and sell orders, something called a take fee, and pay rebates to those that provide standing orders that are executed against. This is known as "maker-taker" pricing.
While stocks are normally priced in penny increments, rules adopted five years ago allow exchanges to price sub-dollar stocks in one-hundredth of a cent. The fees and rebates, however, are based on penny increments for all stocks, including sub-dollar stocks -- which creates a possible loophole through which traders can earn out-sized rebates.
A trader can, for example, send a "limit order" bid through one brokerage account, and a corresponding "market order" to sell that same stock in another account. After trading with himself, the trader earns the bid's rebate and pays the smaller selling fee -- which is usually fixed at retail brokers like E*Trade -- and walks away with the difference.
In this scenario, market makers such as Knight would foot much of the bill.
For a short period earlier this year, large exchanges paid outsized fees and rebates in sub-$1 stocks, but did away with it in the spring after protests from market makers, said William Karsh, chief operating officer at exchange operator Direct Edge.
The smaller CBOE Stock Exchange, or CBSX, offers the out-sized rebates now. The exchange, run by Chicago-based CBOE Holdings Inc (CBOE.O), has seen its market share rise in sub-dollar stocks this summer.
"CBOE takes its regulatory responsibility very seriously and does investigate unusual trading activity," a CBOE spokeswoman said. "However we do not comment on individual investigations."
Nazarali said Knight has reported this activity to regulators on a daily bases in recent weeks, and has brought it to the attention of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
"It is really damaging to investors," Nazarali told reporters.
The SEC in recent weeks said it is probing trading and quoting activity for evidence of market fraud and manipulation. In a comprehensive paper issued in January, the agency asked whether pricing in the market is problematic.

lakes, I am not saying it would start a stampede.
I am just venturing a guess as to what is behind all of this.
It seems to me that this stock has been under assault for many-many months. Most folks who have kept up with the situation would probably agree that it SHOULD be selling up around .30/share, and it isn't. There has to be an explanation for this.
Logically, there MIGHT be a buyout offer on the table that is being considered, or NOT!. But there is no proof that this is happening. So right now it is pure speculation, and should be considered as such until verified by the company.
In all of my years of investing and working high up within the corporate structure, the one thing I have learned is that often the way things appear to be is NOT really how they are in fact. So I am always very cautious when I read this type of banter from anonymous sources. But anonymous or not I am sure that the SEC would take some interest in all of this since it is obviously insider information.
VV
big lucky, "...nothing to do with the sub penny world." RIGHT!
On the DOW you can buy a company with a fleet of ships, but in "penny world" submarines cost only a penny.
No connection!
LOL!
VV
lakes, "...posters do have access to this information..."
Yes, I agree.
It is corporate inside information being made public thru a forum. That is a clear violation of Federal Security Regulations. And somebody is going to get into legal trouble over this IF TRUE.
I think those responsible are going to see some blowback from this.
But because this is originating on a forum I am not going to give it credence, UNTIL the company chooses to comment on it officially. Until then, I am going to treat it as just another forum rumor.
So why do you think this is being released now? Just consider who would benefit from this should a stampede of sellers start.
VV
Mr Sensitivity, NO, I am NOT "wrong", because it just won't ever happen.
It is a truly ridiculous idea. But perfectly typical for a forum where most posters are running scared.
This company is NEVER going to be sold for .09 a share (or .15) and anyone who believes it might be is probably delusional. The simple reason is that the company is on the verge of great success. So, any offer would have to be reasonable before it would even be considered; something between 50 cents and a dollar is reasonable.
Therefore, any discussion of this "hypothetical" situation is irrelevant, and most likely intended as a scare tactic. Don't fall for this agenda.
Watch and learn.

That will reveal the forum management console so that you can get an idea of what tools an assistant moderator has available.
You can also resign if you don't want the position.
The way I view it this forum is fairly inactive because of the situation with the stock. So appointing a few folks to help out would not hurt the situation. And it might help.
Good Luck.
VV
lakes, The only part of that post which I can relate to is near the end:
"Genstrip is going to be the hugest of huge products. And $200 million in annual cash flow..."
I say "So What?" if someone wants to buy this company for pennies on the dollar.
The offer price on the table is well below my personal break even. So I don't think of it as even a serious offer. No where near it. But I MIGHT consider 50 cents per share.
Since whatever is going on is happening behind closed doors with no decision made, it probably shouldn't even be discussed publicly. So, I suspect discussing it is an orchestrated attempt to instill fear in the shareholder base, and probably targeting the, so called, demon "flippers", who most likely bought their shares since June2010. Because before that the PPS was above .09 and who in their right mind would sell this stock at a loss.
In light of the current situation, the message (or premise) contained in that post makes no sense to me at all. But, as you said, it is "interesting".
All just my opinion...
VV

dlewisfl, Same poster as on the other forum?
Timing looks suspicious. Probably very good chance it is.
VV
SimonL, I'm just having some fun with you, pal.
This stock is being strangled by the extreme lack of market liquidity. There are only 840,000 shares in the float. And that is not likely to change until next spring.
There is so little volume that the charts are not really indicative of anything important. Unfortunately, there isn't going to be much trading volume with the B&A spread set so wide.
But I did notice that the MMs have raised the Bid from .06 to .095 which is a 50% move. So I guess that is significant in a microscopic way.
Good Luck.
VV
SimonL, What do all those squiggly lines mean?
Is everything OK?

ValueFinder8, "...would just create expectations and unnecessary innuendo and ... enquiries."
I think that the pre-sales numbers will definitely create expectations and inquiries. But I am not sure what you mean by "innuendo".
Building expectations, if that is what the company is doing, is a great idea, as long as they are realized. It can only increase the company's credibility, when they establish a goal and then show progress toward achieving it. It is a good first step.
From my viewpoint, I would much rather find out about the milestones and progress from the company's own web site rather than read about it on the forums. I have always been a bit skeptical of what I read on the forums. And even more so lately.
I agree that "It is a beautiful balance sheet..." and I always suggest that folks read the various SEC filings, and trust them, before anything else.
All just my opinion...
VV
dlewisfl, I'm still watching AFBG too.
That may, very well, be AACS's best opportunity. To use the resources of IMW to build the pilot plant, or the prototypes of the equipment needed to recycle fiberglass. Worry about what to do with the raw recycled FG later, after the concept is proved to be actually working.
It seems to me that it would be far easier to borrow money to replicate a working prototype and get into building out the system, rather than having only a paper concept in hand.
Maybe they should look into building a franchise network. After all, it doesn't seem practical to ship the raw FG to Florida to be recycled. Better to setup the plants near large urban centers where the castoff FG is generated. It seems like every state government would be interested in a way to avoid filling up their landfill dumps with FG.
IMW previously built the prototype for the coal washing process. At the time I thought that was a really great idea. Anything in the Green Energy direction is going to receive support from a variety of directions. Although recycling FG has little or nothing to do with energy it is still, very much, a Green Concept. They need to "shape and position" the idea that this is something badly needed by society to protect the environment.
If I were Dan I would be looking for some sort of government sponsored subsidy to apply for. I wonder if he has ever thought about writing directly to his Federal and State Congressional representatives and asking for help.
All just my opinion...
VV
dlewisfl, Any guess of what Dan might be planning to promote?
What does this company have going for itself these days?
Something old, or something entirely new? Or maybe nothing at all.
Regardless of whatever Dan might be planning, I would be mostly interested in how much cash they have on hand to actually get going on something. Borrowing of money for business expansion is still very difficult. But borrowing against Outstanding Receivables is getting a lot easier.
So if they don't have cash, and can't borrow, that leaves only the stock. It is amazing that they never diluted much in all of the years that I have been watching. That is quite unusual for any penny stock. But there's always a first time for everything.
I sincerely hope it isn't THAT kind of promotion.
VV
ValueFinder8, I agree that Instacare is a kind of "show me" company.
But that doesn't mean they can't reveal a few things about what they're doing. You're right, there are expectations. This Genstrip deal is a "5-year exclusive" arrangement. And the clock is running. But this deal, by itself, brings nothing tangible to the company. It is something they have to execute on. That's what they're doing now.
Shareholders, distributors, and possibly even patients, have a desire to know how this product pipeline is developing. There are preparations that need to be made. Like for example, how much retail shelf-space will be allocated, and in what territories. Well, that would probably depend on the pre-sales interest, lead-time to order, and the backlog, and other such factors like geographic pattern of the orders, etc. There are a lot of decisions that are being made behind closed doors.
It is a long time between SEC filings, and of course, everything gets put in those. But that info is also skewed in time somewhat because it is reported well after the fact.
These pre-sales numbers are published on their own web site. So they are coming from the source of all relevant data. I think seeing these numbers is very useful, as an intermediate step, between originally securing that distribution agreement and later reporting of the actual sales. We are talking about months in between. So these pre-sales numbers fill in the time gap. And I do hope this becomes a trend, of periodically throwing out a little bit of milestone-related information.
I didn't get the point you were trying to make in your earlier post, until you explained it in your second post.
But it is very easy to ask questions about something that no body really knows the answers to. If they are genuine inquiries then they need to be asked in the venue where the answers would be forthcoming. Obviously, that's not on this forum. On the other hand, asking these types of questions, where they can't be answered, it really becomes an example of "speech making" under the guise of asking questions. The questions become rhetorical, NOT requiring an answer.
IF it is your intent to point out the deficiencies in the information, then absolutely YES, there are a number of factors that we don't know. But are they truly relevant to managing or understanding this investment?
From my viewpoint as an investor, there is only Fundamental Analysis (examining the balance sheet) and Technical Analysis (examining charts with vol and PPS data). Everything else falls into the category of the business itself. I believe the business is well managed and in good hands. So I am really not worried about whether they have a brochure or will put on seminars, etc. If you want to scrutinize this investment at that level there is probably an incredibly long list of details to worry about.
I suppose in summation, I just don't have the problem of managing my expectations that you espouse. I am very conformable just watching it unfold, as it will. But please feel free to discuss what ever it is that bothers you, and we'll try to address it.
All just my opinion...
VV
ValueFinder8, The things that you mention don't bother me one bit.
I just don't have a need to know. And I'm wondering why you do.
If a box of Genstrips sells for $27 instead of $28, will you then dump all of your shares? Exactly what is the point? Do you need to know, to the penny, how much they're going to make on this product?
And why do they post these pre-order sales figures? Because they can. It is their prerogative.
Besides, I don't think anyone here really knows the answers to these questions to the depth that you want. You're probably going to have to call the company to discover these things. But I am just amazed that you would express concern over whether they have a brochure or not. If they need one, I assume, they will produce one.
Good Luck.
VV
dlewisfl, "...everyone who wanted to bail the past year to 18 months..."
I got to thinking about you're saying there. So I visited my two broker accounts and checked my personal history with AACS.
My first purchase was 9/12/2003 for a BUY of 100,000 shares at .05 for a total of $5,037.00 --- FIVE GRAND! Wow! I don't think I will jump in that heavy on ANY penny stock, EVER again.
Over the next six years I made 65 trades, of buys and sells. Always took profits when available; seldom if ever lost money.
My last trade was 8/19/2009 for a SELL of 20,000 at .0025
So, today, 13 months later, the daily low and high are .0025
Virtually moving sideways over last 13 months.
I really can't say if I would ever put more money into AACS. But I appreciate that I ever lost very much, either. And in the end, I stopped with a final overall profit in hand. So AACS is STILL on my radar. I know from experience this one can make money for me.
I'm still hoping that they will buy back the Chariot Trailer product line. Or else, pay me my AFBG dividend shares that were promised to AACS shareholders. They diverted corporate resources (time&money) to help start-up that new operation. For what it's worth, I think we were owed something for that.
Good Luck to All Longs. To the last one, please turn off the lights.

Today in Jackson Hole, Wyo. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said:
"In the business sector, real investment in equipment and software rose at an annual rate of more than 20 percent over the first half of the year. Some of these gains no doubt reflected spending that had been deferred during the crisis, including investments to replace or update existing equipment. Consequently, investment in equipment and software will almost certainly increase more slowly over the remainder of this year, though it should continue to advance at a solid pace. In contrast, outside of a few areas such as drilling and mining, business investment in structures has continued to contract, although the rate of contraction appears to be slowing."

News: Shrink Nanotechnologies to Open New NanoShrink and Stem Disc Application Development Facility in the University of California Irvine's New TechPortal
Last update: 9/21/2010 8:00:13 AM
CARLSBAD, Calif., Sep 21, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Shrink Nanotechnologies, Inc. ("Shrink") (INKN), an innovative nanotechnology company developing products and licensing opportunities in the alternative energy industry, medical diagnostics and sensors, and biotechnology research and development tools businesses, announced today that it has leased laboratory space (the "NanoShrink Lab") inside the TechPortal, an innovative and brand new technology facilitator center for commercial bioscience research companies which are in most cases based on University of California, Irvine research.
"As Shrink gets ready to launch its first commercial products, NanoShrink and the StemDisc family of products, Shrink has decided to adopt a unique development and product marketing and distribution plan, especially for our NanoShrink product," stated Mark L. Baum, CEO of Shrink. "NanoShrink is a product that has so many applications, and our goal is to demonstrate (with robust and rich audio and video content) how we believe this product can make a difference -- in areas as diverse as printed electronics to microfluidics and diagnostics sensor prototyping. We believe that the best way to highlight these 'apps' is to open an office, and do the app development internally, alongside commercial users -- once the product is launched -- and to use an integrated web platform to actually show how the product can save innovators worldwide, time, money and at the same time give them increased performance and design flexibility. We will do this for NanoShrink as well as StemDisc.
"The NanoShrink Lab is a world class space located within UCI, a world class university. For a small company like Shrink to have access to 'downstream' resources as part of UCI's broader intellectual community of published researchers, leading bioscientists, businesspeople at the TechPortal and the amazing UCI people and facilities, not to mention our scientific founder -- this is nearly unprecedented for a public company such as ours. We are certainly pleased to be a part of the TechPortal and we look forward to using our time there to launch products and develop a new technology that adds value for our shareholders and which makes a difference in the lives of researchers and scientists who are searching for ways to make all of our lives healthier and more productive, the world over."

Looks like a case of Golden Cross phobia.

Problem running TRADES feature off of QUOTE page.
I am just trying to checkout the days trades, Time & Sale. It hasn't been working for me for several weeks now so I thought that I should report it.
I can't find anything broken on my end. I have the latest version of Java installed: Version 6, Update 21. I have tried this using Firefox 32-bit browser, and Internet Explorer, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. And I have cleared the Browser cache. I am running on Vista Ultimate X64.
It always hangs at exactly the same place. The screen message says:
"ADVFN Streamer - Updating Components
1676 Bytes of 37687 Bytes Loaded (4%)"
Any idea what might be the problem?
Thanks in advance.
I wonder who bought 31 cents worth of stock today.
They're definitely "loading the boat" at this PPS. LOL!
Although some might disagree, it just might be an MM signal.
Here is the traditional description:
"Some Penny traders believe that Market Makers (MM) will "signal" moves in advance by using small amounts of buys or sells as "signals". The "signals" are such a small amount of shares (worth no more than 5 or 10 dollars) that no trader would have paid a commission that costs more than the amount of shares bought. The "signals" are from one MM to another.
* 100 I need shares.
* 200 I need shares badly,but do not take the stock down.
* 300 Take the price down so I can load shares
* 400 Keep trading it sideways.
* 500 Gap the stock. This gap can be either up or down, depending on the direction of the 500 signal."

crossroad, It is an exotic technology meaning there is nothing else quite like it.
But they really need to get the tool suite completed and distributed so that customers can work with it.
I think that the product material, itself, is already available.
I am guessing there are probably several dozen new and undiscovered uses for it. So once the customer has both the material and the means to manipulate it, then they can explore and experiment with it, and develop new applications.
All just my opinion...
