We keep going up for now, so there has to be something brewing out there that us poor folk will hear about shortly. Something is countering the recent PR, thank goodness.

Mr. Big,
Yes, a big difference between A/S and O/S but as I've seen in other stocks on the pinks, once the A/S goes up, it appears these companies find it tough to resist making the O/S rise as well. Take-over prevention can be a handy excuse for the initial rise in A/S but it is a warning flag to investors, and unless they follow up this rise with verifiable gains in contracts, clean up their financials and get back to regular reporting, the stock will not go anywhere but down. I'm sitting on free shares that were paid for with prior spikes and sells, so I'm willing to wait things out, but 3 billion A/S will be a deterrent to new investors unless they start producing some meaty contracts and audited financials that demonstrate real value for the shares we all hold. And that the value is increasing, not getting diluted.

xylan,
Please clarify - did he say our investment in pbls will be worth about a penny in July or that the PPS will be around a penny in July? This sounds like another badly worded PR to me :)
D -
Agreed. EOM.
That's kind of funny - does that mean they aren't doing financials at all, or just posting them costs too much? Actually, whatever their reasons are is unimportant. Their actions continue to say what needs said.
D -
if companies, even established ones, held their tongues when a lawsuit came in the door the silence within the business sector would be deafening. Getting sued is part of the daily business operations of any sizable (or poorly managed) company. Never should it stop the reporting of financial information to shareholders. Anything to the contrary is a cheap excuse.
D -
thank you both for the clarification. And sorry if that was a rehash of old news.

This stock may need a volume a little higher than .0001 % of the total volume to really get it to rocket...
D -
With past tense in mind, this line is the most critical to me out of today's PR if it proves to be accurate:
The new Business Model features as much as a 70% reduction in start up costs and build-out related construction time with no loss of quality or value.
Having a business modelthat demonstrably reduces start up costs would be a huge gain. I've always been a bit leery about the costs associated to the setup and purchase of the gaming technology in the stores and its effect on franchising. This is good news if it plays out and might be an indication that some alliances are forming in this area (suppliers) that are helping to cut costs. Just speculating though.

SSC,
You can add my 18,600 shares.

ssc,
I'm currently holding only 18,600 shares but feel free to add that to the total.

Chilar,
I disagree. If PBLS has lost the case regarding sub-leasing the pit, I'm no lawyer, but that appears to be a bad omen for the bank case. PBLS would be in the position where their use of the pit was technically illegal as they should have been evicted due to the lease violation. For PBLS to claim later that the bank's taking of equipment prevented PBLS from performing their mining activity under a lease PBLS violated, would be a very tough sell in any court, even New Orleans. They are now in essence asking for compensatory damages for the prevention of an illegal mining operation. Getting damages up to the point they violated the lease might be possible, but I would bet the court would say that anything beyond that becomes null and void, as contract law prevents any compensation for illegal activities. As I said, I'm no lawyer (and I wouldn't mind being wrong on this), but the effect on the bank case could be much worse in my opinion, more of a "redemption" for the bank than PBLS.

it's beginning to sound a lot like Thanksgiving dinner around here, what with all the arguing. Pretty soon we'll end up sounding like a raging bull.
D -
I would be hard pressed to decide which is more irrelevant: What Blackburn drives or what he says. Neither really carries any weight with me. What they actually do, and what they can prove they actually did, well, that would mean something. We can pretty well ascertain they burned a whole boat load of investors through their incompetence.

i think if Ben keeps htre as a current info provider to pink sheets as these new shops come on board, there technically is no difference between the OB and the pinkies if he can maintain that status. You might get some high risk investment firms dropping some cash their way as a result, or BEN can move to the OB. I keep watching the major holders lists to see if any individual players are stepping up that might signal that sort of thing happening - so far no clear indication.
Don't bank against a church-based group's outreach program in terms of advertising and drawing in franchises. Ben's business model seems to go hand in hand with that sort of program - I need to research the collective more to see what it's reach is.
D -
Interested in thoughts -
As it was a local financial group that reached out to HTRE to tell them about the restaurant site for Miami gardens, and that group has ties to the collective performing church-based economic programs, could they be partnering up as well? They obviously like the HTRE concept based on the PR, it seems to fit their model, they could help supply some investment dollars and advertise the stock among their clients, and they can help with franchising via the collective. Just thinking of potential leverage here.

Selling shares to pay off prior debt -
sounds to me like the fat lady is warming up in the wings as that's evidence of a big hole being dug deeper, and unlike the pit, little good can come out of it.
D -
I don't know about dividends - I never opted in for that PBLS action or inaction as the case may be.
An additional 20 million shares out, 81 million to go. Since the pit isn't producing maybe shares are being printed to shore up the dikes in New Orleans. That would at least be a humane use of the printing press. If Paul doesn't want us speculating foolishly he can state why they are going in the wrong direction in terms of share count any time he wants...I see no reason beyond stuffing pockets other than my own at this point
D -
the dog in the pbls video that goes prancing through the opening scenes. But you can keep the shares, I have more than enough at this point.
D -
Will Blackburn at least be in a tent and making psychic predictions about the future rise in PPS? Will one of the PBLS magicians be demonstrating how to make businesses and profits disappear? Or an alchemist who can turn common sand and gravel into a precious lawsuit? Will Maggie Mae, the dog-faced boy be there?
D -
Can I man the "Pin the SEC Violation On Paul" booth?
D -
I'd agree, except for the word "almost" in the last sentence. That word could probably be removed. And it will be Roach who will post that additional lawsuit first if it comes in!
D
The big question is, how much longer before another 111 million shares or so hit the table, which will lead to the next question of when PBLS goes over 2.875. "Restricted" does not appear to be in their vocabulary.
D -
The PR is a sign of life even if it's not the PR we wanted (franchises, revenue, product lines, etc). Hopefully we'll see more news trickling out - breaking the silence with this PR I hope is the first step.
D -
You know, that whole concept of the blues making its way North up from New orleans kind of repeated itself with this stock...
For the party over Memorial Day, maybe a human sacrifice into the pit would help, if Virg would accomodate us on that, we could turn this whole PBLS thing around...

I had hurricane's there after Univ of Pittsburgh won the sugar bowl on a hail mary pass (back when Herschell Walker was with Georgia). That was one of the best weekends of my life, though the surviving family members of brain cells still hold a grudge all these years later. We hit 25 cents and I'd be at the bar with you.
D -
True, I may leave a few shares on the table if only to kick myself years from now, telling my grandchildren "had I only held on to all my original shares, we'd all be rich, instead of just having cash to pay this month's heating bill."
Holding some shares gives me reason to check in on the board from time to time and revel in the snappy banter.
Let's hope the duck becomes a goose, and not just that we get goosed.
D -
I do feel snowed if you get my drift...as this stock once appeared as the apple of the pinks. Now the PPS just bites, witch just isn't fair at all...and that's the end of that fairy tale.
D -
I will accept payment to exit to help cut my losses, that the rise in PPS should more than offset for you!
And not all dead cats bounce I guess. But I guarantee you that if I exit, this stock will hit .01 in a week. I do miss your erudite commentary mr. dale -
D -
Yeah, I may cease banging of my head against the PBLS wall and may very soon accept my losses and move on. I think of how long the pitiful remains of my initial investment sits here gathering more dust than the dirt being removed from the ol Murphy pit, and I'm thinking it's time to move on and start growing that paltry cash again elsewhere. Maybe another month and I'm cashing in entirely if there's no discernible and verifiable signs of intelligent life down in the bayou. Who would have thought we'd need to rely on the SETI program to understand our investment.

Rally,
Careful what you wish for:
"PS) I'll take some more shares please....."
PA may just oblige!
I read your interchange with Chilar - and you're both right. PBLS has five or six companies and that is independently verifiable. However, how far those companies extend beyond names on paper still remains in doubt. So we sit and wait.
D
The big questions are how far does this news go to confirm production capablilities of LTHU (notice the reference to other potential business for them in this space), and as you say, the finances (what did it cost us to get there, and how long after these contracts start coming in that we make it into the black). I'm liking the news though a lot.
D
Kettering is formerly the GM Institute in Flint Michigan. It can't hurt to have their batteries in buses tooling around Flint. This is very good news indeed.
D
I needed a good laugh today - thanks. I was wondering if the Rally Monkey came down with ebola.
