Au contraire sir! I disagree... 1 meaty PR after the Cheetos® info they've given us for a month would not undermine their efforts at all. If there was no substance to the PR, I'd tend to agree with you, but if they gave us a steak, or even just some jerky, I think the PR's weight would carry the day and erase any thought of a PR du jour.
I truly believe they are doing what is in the company's best interests, which ultimately is in the shareholder's best interests long-term. However, they should also realize where they are right now (the Pinks), and how much pain they are distributing while waiting and waiting to release info. Unless they are gagged they could be a little more aware of their supporters and toss us a bone. It's the right thing to do at this point. Call it a loyalty reward, or a shareholder appreciation PR, or an "Oops, this is my fault (mea culpa) because of the Aquagold USA versus AG Int'l snafu. Regardless, we deserve something more.
I'm down $30k on this right now. I really don't care if it's prudent and judicious for them to wait for the symbol change to release the "flood" of PR's. I want them to toss us at least one of the mediocre PR's right now to staunch the bleeding. I've been loyal, and averaged down as much as I can. Patient? Yes, I've been patient and positive. WE NEED SOME INFO!!! C'mon Stevie, let out a little bit of the canned good news pre-name change. It's not going to affect the company in the long run, and maybe, just maybe, you guys could give us beaten up investors a little break here. 1 PR with a bit of substance would help a lot, and hurt very little. Thanks.
Oops. Thanks Wally.
Hey, why does Whistles get to post anything he wants regardless of its veracity, but a quote from Thomas Jefferson on dissent gets bumped? I don't get what criteria mods use at all, and as a staunch defender of free speech, I must admit that I'm stunned at their seemingly random exercises in hubris.
What is it? AQGO?
Oh it's waaaay more than a million shares put in at GTC my friend, I can personally guarantee that.
Just moved my barge full o' shares into GTC for a buck.
I agree. In fact, Manuel stated we did not have Olympic contracts per the time of the last meeting; therefore, the only possible reason the committee would contact him would be to put some into place or to finish what was started before.
Ergo/duh, it is logical to deduce that Manny is gettin' us some big fish on this trip to add to the $500 mil., plus our added Shanghai contracts, and now apparently some kind of an Olympics deal.
Why else would the CEO of a water co. be called to China by the Chinese Olympic committee? It's either to supply their athletes, or to distribute it widely, or both. weeeee
I think it's all good news.
Yes I do. It was just some humor on a boring day.
He probably had lobbied very hard to get us into the Olympics and couldn't. Then, the Chinese changed their minds. Not an unbelievable scenario to me.
Think we'll make the daily list in an hour and 18 minutes?
Pretty slow day in all the markets.
Volume is really really low today.
$62.5 mil. per yer in revs. ($500 mil. over 8 years) equals about $12-15 mil. in profits (20-25%- optimistic), divided by 221 mil. float is about .06 per share eps (at $13.5 mil.profit). Divided by 721 mil. shares OS is .018 EPS.
If we multiply a reasonably fair Pink PE ratio of 10 (considering upcoming growth etc.) we arrive at .60 per share in case #1, and .18 in case #2.
If we add another $250 mil. in Shanghai/other contracts per hints and innuendo, then we end up at #1 = .90 per share, or #2 = .27 cents price per share.
They may be accorded a greater PE than what I've calculated (maybe 20) based on a healthy PEG commensurate with their increases or uplisting, which greatly raises PPS accordingly.
In other words, it looks like if we hit the AMEX, or continue growing at an aggressive rate by penetrating other markets, or by acretive acquisitions/mergers, we could be between .54 and 1.80 in less than a year. (av. of .54 + 1.80- is $1.17)
That's my take, and I'm sure there will be plenty of rippin' on my numbers by longs and shorts, but I wanna go there!
A wise man once said "convince me with numbers". I want to hear the Whistles and Doogs of the board hit the facts and projections in regards to numbers. The true PPS, which is all we really care about, is in these numbers... so let the games begin!
Doc
You guys take care of the limo and lap dances!
Maybe the NAZ is having an Easter symbol hunt and everyone is out looking for different colored AQGO!!!
I'll take care of the bar tab.
I dunno... I was just trying to explain a possible scenario for why there would be a precipitous drop and then a bounce. I'd entertain any good explanation.
Exactly. Someone lost faith, started to unwind a large position, the evil mm's saw it and went with it for a quick walkdown to accumulate. JMHO
It looks like someone is unwinding a huge position to me.
Paint it.
Thanks. I suppose he needs more proof... how about the paint at .069 on all of 1,000 shares! They spent 13% of their buy on the broker's fee... round trip of 26%. If you'd like objectivity, the close was uninspired and laconic at best, but the walk-down was apparent and obviate. Hey, everybody's waaay in that thinks this is the real deal, and everyone else is waiting to pay the premium when the symbol changes. That's it. Everybody is impatient... I believe that Manny himself stated that, so I forgive you Walker as we are all Waiting For Godot.
About what? Wrong to think the mm's are walking it down to accumulate? Uh, er, ok, I guess. That sure is a firm and yet unsubstantiated argument... gee, I'm convinced!
This looks like a low-volume mm walk-down to me. Those guys just want to continue to accumulate low-priced inventory to sell back to the unwashed masses after symbol change and subsequent PR's. Don't be fooled! As William Wallace said: "Hold, hold..."
Estimate dimensions of container... calculate volume, divide by approximate volume of 1 case.
It would be about 3% of the float.
Jeff, you da man! I called today the Ranger Rally... I do think that the EOD fade was just early week bottom-fishing traders bailing to get out by the weekend with beer money in hand. They're going to have nightmares next week as they see what returns they could've had. Have a great weekend!
I believe it was mentioned earlier that it was likely a bunch of flippers from earlier in the week with their .04's and .055's that bailed today for a meager profit, thus the fade toward the EOD. They will kick themselves hard by the middle of next week!
Do you really want us all to bother IR with calls to find out the new symbol? Are you going to tell us or play "I've got a secret"?
54k going through is me! EOD push!
Doog- should this be called the "Ranger Rally" today? What an awesome post!
The good news is that '08 is over June 30 I believe. That is GTEC's fiscal year if I'm not mistaken.
You got that right. I can sleep now too. Thanks again Jeff, great post... wow- what a great post... awesome post...
What an awesome post jmarcq!!! That covers everything we could've hoped for from this meeting. Thank you very much!!! I'm taking bottles back to the store tomorrow to buy more ONMC because this thing's gonna explode in no time! Woo-hoo!
That's what I wanted to hear! He'd have to be pretty tough or he'd get pushed around by the Chinese as they are pretty hard negotiators.
As a former LEO I figured you'd be a pretty good read of character. Anything else you'd add to the picture of Manny?
Can you characterize our fearless leader for me? Is Manny a bit eccentric? Is he a slick, pro-styled, consummate CEO, or is he the quirky genius who pulled off the coup of a lifetime.
