exactly
please do.everything is moving as planned.all still on track.we should have an update very soon.heard there has been alot of hanger updates and revamping unused areas getting ready for evpansion.there is more than thrush on the horizon.i urge the believers to have faith ..pvd has a business plan layed out for the expansion and the build out of the integrity.i have heard an international target may come on board for even more manufacturing capabilities..hold on tight ..great things are coming
my guess....april 18th...pvd seems to like releases on the 18th...keep our fingers crossed
thats true but..most of the pink runs are due to alot of quick hype.there are however a few that turn out to be real profitable companies.just look back at the ayers corp.he was on the verge of a 150 million dollar contract to fed exp and then another order to an austrailian airline for another 100 mill.poor management of a great plan.all is still in place when the thrush aquisition is in place.do you think pvd is waiting on pursueing other suitors to revive a now ,in the news ,turbo prop come back.i think not.i know there some controvercy on who owns the loadmaster rites but you can always tweak one idea enough to be something completly new.what would that kind of announcement do to this small floated stock.the interest is there .the manufactureing infrastructure is there...is there something else....on the horizon
the key to these stocks is riding the wave ..getting in before the big news and being a seller into the excitment.imo now is the time to move into another stock that is about to explode..iahl.. then buy this back later.let them hav time to grow..iahl is poised to move onto nasdac with a in the black rev stream and a pe ratio rivaling dollar plus stocks..
the writing is on the wall.i guess its because i have been involved with other companies in similar positions that i am confident those who have patience will be rewarded ten fold...take what you want from my postings just trying to help those who may get a little frustrated with the lack of news..but that is part of the process..gltya
time will prove me out.you take what you want from these boards..believe or not..its up to you.other than i have a huge position in this company i dont care if you buy or sell..i was only sharing some exciting developments due out..my time frame of short term may difer a lil from the daytraders..glty..b.s....big stock i agree
its funny how the mm work in the pinks.low volume means they can drop the price with nothing but buys..lol i have a very relible source that is telling me we are very very close....ttthhhrrruuussshhh is coming .....
strange tradeing dayi must admit.never saw bid go to .05 but 1500 shares filled there i to had a 40 k order all or nine that never filled at .07.they must be trading very thin..i think the mm know what is coming and are being very very careful
its always quiet before the storm...good things are just behind the door.hopefully evryone has the positions they want...soon..very soon these level are going to be history..
exactly why would they say that..checked it out looks like they are touting there own picks..imagine that.im sure whoever wants to send them some cash or stock would get a nice write up and validation..watch out for these kind of sites
that i would think is obvious.im just an investor who believes that there is great upward potential in this company both short term and long.i am not a daytrader so i am holding this and letting it develop.i have invested in many other such entities and the key is time.this type of investment is not for everyone and i doubt if there are many who have put in as much as myself and my 2 investor allies.we currently hold appx 3.5 million shares.we are not selling.we will probably continue to increase our postion up to 5 million shares.no one on this board is buying the stock because of me or inspite of me.the guys on this board do a great job.i would suggest that they contact pvd to offer their services to get the iahl website up and going.investor access and a strong flow of information are key in getting the word out to other investors.once the deal is done and the exchange in trading venue occurs,they imo will start attracting larger players in the market and that my friends is when we will reap the rewards of a growing thriving company..
this may also be a short term shuffle in conjunction with mm to fill some of pvd s buy back orders.ugly for us short term but will shrink our trading float long term and will bring us better trading responces when all the positives come to light...look for some after hour trading also..imo
i strongly suggest to those that have watched ,thought about or maybe own a small position to buy iahl now..they are a real company with major pending news that will give them a pe ratio rivaling stocks trading in the dollar ranges.dont be fooled by day flippers or naysayer spoilers with personel agendas.this is going to happen.paperwork, filings and future growth is in our mist.good luck to all .i am standing by what i am saying and will move more funds to buy next week.i hoppe it stays at these levels just a little longer.have a nice weekend to the believers
thrush is coming..thrush is coming...just around the corner...who would sell so close...heard they are working on a new aircraft engine...imo ..good things are coming
heard thru the grapevine thrush release 5 to 10 days...jet fuel soaring many carriers looking to expand and update turbo prop aircraft.anyone know of a company with manufacturing capibilities who might step up and meet the demand....
thrush is very near.i can hear the keys writing the release...but it is not the only golden egg in our basket..easter may have past but there is much more happening than meets the eye.get ready for it.dont be surprised to see a few more buys at the bid.just the lull b4 the rainbow.our pot of gold,then i guess we will all have gold fingers..
the other option is too that someone wanted to sell a large block and the investment group made prior agreements with the mm to more or less cross the stock or do whats called a simotanous transaction where a sell meets a buy at the same time so it has no affect on trading
if someone sold 640k shares you would see the stock go south big time say 4.5 bid .thats a buy..lil shady but a buy.then to prove it they uptick to 8 on the ask.news out end of the week for the nay sayers...
this story out on the ap wire..looks like we have a company poised to take advantage of the current economic conditions.just a matter of time before the big investers see what we already do.. Jet Fuel Prices Spark Comeback of Unglamorous Turboprops Airliners on Regional Routes
BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -- As fuel prices soar to record highs and airlines struggle to maintain profitability, the unglamorous but fuel-efficient turboprop regional airliner is making a remarkable comeback.

The revival of the propeller-driven planes -- which typically consume a quarter to a third less fuel than equivalent jets -- marks a significant new trend in the industry. Until recently, many commuter airlines had been determined to consign the planes to history and convert to all-jet fleets which offer greater passenger comfort.
Although the latest generation of turboprops has addressed some of the comfort issues by flying above turbulence and providing quieter cabins, analysts say the airlines' money worries about their bottom line now outweigh any passenger preferences.
With jet fuel prices 60 percent to 70 percent higher than a year ago, regional jets no longer offer good economics for short-haul flights, said Michael Dyment, an aviation analyst at Nexa Capital Partners, a Washington, D.C., corporate finance group.
"Nowadays, operating efficiency trumps any passenger considerations," Dyment said.
The world's remaining manufacturers of turboprops for commuter airlines, Canada's Bombardier and France's ATR, have ramped up production to 140 of the planes this year, after making 100 deliveries in 2007. This compares with only 26 in 2002.
"There has been a clear reversal of trends in the regional airline business over the past three to four years," said Richard Maslem, an editor of Airliner World, a British trade magazine. "Airlines that only a short time ago were championing the cause for the regional jet and suggesting the end of the line for turboprop models are now having to eat their words."
The regional sector as a whole experienced something of a boom, with traffic growth estimated at almost 8 percent in 2007, ranging from 3.1 percent in the United States to more than 9 percent in China.
While jets such as the Embraer E-series still topped the delivery list, the upsurge was led by turboprops, which accumulated 210 orders from clients worldwide.
The 1950s-era Fokker 27 was typical of the first generation of short-haul airliners with gas turbine engines driving propellers, which acquired a reputation for fuel economy and ruggedness.
Passengers, however, hated the propeller noise, vibrating cabins and susceptibility to turbulence at low altitudes.
As the next generation was entering service in the 1980s, many feeder airlines favored speedier and quieter 30- to 70-seat jets, such as those produced by Brazil's Embraer. This sparked predictions that they would eventually replace the turboprops.
By the beginning of the millennium, several turboprop manufacturers -- including Fokker and Saab -- had either declared bankruptcy or abandoned production of turboprops, leaving Bombardier ATR as the only major turboprop manufacturer.
But tight economic times have revived demand for the propeller craft over the past couple of years. A recent report by the market research firm Forecast International attributed this to the need by regional airlines to cut costs and reduce fares in the face of competition from low-fare carriers.
Jet fuel now averages $3.70 a gallon in the United States -- nearly double the price a year ago. Local airlines, which generally are run on very slim margins, already routinely resort to fuel-saving measures such as taxiing out on a single engine and coasting to landings by idling the engines.
With market interest growing, Bombardier is evaluating lengthening its existing 78-seat Q-400 to 90 seats, and its French rival is considering launching a totally new aircraft rather than extend its existing 70-seat ATR-72. The new models would also have advanced noise and vibration suppression systems and would fly at higher cruising altitudes than their forerunners, offering in-flight comfort levels comparable to jets.
The stakes are high for both companies, because analysts predict a requirement of nearly 1,500 regional aircraft from 2007 through 2016 to keep up with projected demand.
"What has happened with new-generation turboprops is on short flights and with a smaller capacity they can open up or sustain markets that jets cannot. So you get the best of both worlds -- comfort for passengers and financial viability for the airline operator because of the 30 percent lower per seat costs," said John Strickland, director of JLS Consulting, a London-based aviation consultancy firm.
Strickland also pointed to the widening use of turboprops among partner subsidiaries of such companies as Lufthansa, Alaska Air, Air France and Quantas, where they feed traffic to the carriers' jet routes.
Luxembourg's airline Luxair typifies the turnaround.
In 2000, the carrier decided to discontinue the turboprop fleet it had operated since the 1950s and replace it with commuter jets. But as fuel prices skyrocketed, the airline turned to the more economical propeller models, and placed orders in 2006 for a fleet of new Q-400s.
Among other orders in recent weeks:
-- Seattle-based Horizon Air, a subsidiary of Alaska Air Group Inc., ordered 15 of the Q-400 turboprops from Bombardier, with options for 20 more, in a deal worth nearly $400 million.
-- SAS, the joint flag carrier of Sweden, Norway and Denmark, reversed its decision to discard its fleet of Q-400s after a series of landing gear incidents. Instead, it reached a compensation agreement with the planemaker that included orders for 27 new aircraft of an improved model with options for 24 more -- a potential value of $1.75 billion.
