I wonder if some who bought at .004 earlier in the week sold yesterday and today at .005 to recover losses. If so, understandable.
Insiders are still as tight-lipped as ever. It's been my experience in life that when elders and superiors say nothing to youngins and subordinates, it means they no longer care about anyone but their higher selves. Perhaps our superiors are preparing for the table at Vegas in June. As to which "table" they're preparing for . . . . umm, that I'm not sure of.

Looking at the bottom line chart, we've been stable since March 28, three weeks ago, when we were at .0043. I don't know if that's good news or not.
So, I'd have to say we may have at least stopped the bleeding, though the patient is still on the critical list.
That's my PR for the day. Take two products and call me in the morning.

Shawhub,
Okay, okay. I've heard ya, . . . and I hear ya. S-h-e-e-c-e.
Know what you own. You're coming through loud and clear as a bell. You're talkin' a good talk. I get it now. I understand.

Look, fellas, no serious investor wants to go around spreading the possibility of doom and gloom, least of all yours truly. I'm small potatoes compared to many of you, but I do have a stake in this. To believe in a positive future for GESI is a commendable quality, but isn't it off the mark to preach this blather over and over with nothing new to back it up for over a month now?
Though our future here may not follow the path of an old Harry Chapin song of yore, some of these comments remind me of a refrain from it:
There's a dance band on the Titanic
Singin' Nearer My God To Thee.
And the iceberg's on the starboard bow;
Won't you dance with me?
At what point do even diehards suddenly realize there's something very wrong here? At .01? 009? .005? .001? Triple aught zero something?
Loyalhound
Tikasun,
I hear ya. I'll present no argument against anything you said. Numerous potentially valid points concerning tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow from you optimists.
Having admitted that, right now .015 is talking louder than anyone else. And right now GESI's .015 talk sounds like that of a donkey braying in a tin barn at two in the morning.

With products now being sold (they are, aren't they?), you would think we'd at least hear sketchy numbers about sales. If we can't eat this slinky pinky candy bar, couldn't Mr. Dee at least feed us a few crumbs from the wrapper? Or am I asking too much?

P.S. - - - And horror of horrors, I've recently been wondering whether Mr. D is working on an R/S. Even with products now out and more to come (so we've heard), at this point it would seem that's the only thing that would drive this lead balloon up. Naturally, that would likely be the death of us, but CEO's today are famous for this kind of tomfoolery. And they always do it without notice of any kind. Poof, and most of those digital shares are gone.
Right now the only thing getting gasified . . . . is us.
Just a note to all: I would respond to all PM's, but I don't have premium at this time. Right now money's too tight. That's my politically correct excuse. Actually, I'm a cheap date.

P.S. - - - SueBee, try as I do, I still can't link with your positive attitude. But at least you're keeping the embers from dying out. I don't know if you're seeing what we can't or if you're just whistling in the dark, but at least you're carrying a lit candle around in this dungeon of a stock.
Just a thought:
What's to prevent a big-name oil and gas company with beaucoup bucks and an eye on GESI's vision from rolling in to town and doing tomorrow what GESI is planning on doing, uh, . . . . sometime in the future? You think o&g outfits with billions on hand wouldn't consider getting in on a money maker, as this rail tie/gasification thing is reputed to be? They could put GESI out of business before it got into business. And they wouldn't need free anything from the Canadian government to do it.
This is free enterprise, people, and GESI doesn't have the market cornered on anything. So for some who sit back with feet propped up and boast that "time is on our side", may I suggest you and the insiders look in both the mirror and the rear view mirror? Time is only on our side for a short time, folks. And time waits for no man; neither does it wait for a slowpoke outfit to put a pick and shovel into dirt . . . . sometime this year or next.
In short, it's time to stop whistling past the graveyard. I don't want to see anyone continue to load up with shares on the cheap, only to see those shares worth half their weight in wooden nickels . . . one of these days.
Hound
SueBee,
With due respect to your hopey-changey philosophy about Mr. DeZanger's expertise over the past 20 to 30 years, the question to be answered is: What is he doing with this company today? It has gone from a dime to .004, and that .004 is gasping for air.
Like you, most of us are holding and hoping, but we're not living in the sweet by and by; this is the nasty now and now.
And we need not talk to Mr. DeZanger. Rather, Mr. DeZanger needs to talk to us. When a CEO has no time for his investors, that's a clear indication that his time is running short.

Whether the cup is half full or half empty, let's just hope the cup isn't made out of China.
On a positive note, at least this stock has been steadily active, unlike many penny pinks that just sit there and look back at you day after day.

Re #13617 and others:
Plans? Plans are wonderful, but in and of themselves they're worthless. Plans in motion are the only plans worth anything. We want new investors, right? And we've talked up the charts, right? Well, when new investors see the basic charts, what do they see? They see a stock that has been trending down steadily for weeks. They see a SS that says oversold, an RSI that says oversold, a MACD that's low and flat. And even though charts say oversold, there's little buying.
All this positive fluff we post means nothing to them, nor should it. They read about plans that are two months old now without having been acted on, even though construction for this project is most definitely weather-sensitive. They see volume that has barely registered daily for at least three weeks.
Fellas, the problem with some day is that some day never comes.
At this point, I would think the least our CEO could do is say to us something like, "Sorry for the delay, folks. We hit a few snags and bumps in the road, and here they are: . . . . " And then he would offer a few details. But nothing said from a captain to his troops in the field when times are testy is not a good sign.
Loyalhound
Hark, everyone. I have inside info. MILV has 8 more products coming on line within a month. That'll make ten. And the dumping is over. We'll be at .01 by Thursday, .05 by Friday, a dime by next Monday, and a quarter one week from today. Get ready to buy . . . buy . . . buy, 'cause we're our way.
Hound
P.S. - - - Never mind. I fibbed. I made the whole thing up, okay? My own plastic banana sent to whet your palate.
I still believe in the Easter bunny, too.
Oh, and if anyone's interested, I also have this ski chalet for sale here in south Florida. Call me.
Sleeping mode? Looks more like a coma to me. And as for long term, I don't think anybody sees penny pinks as long term investments, no matter what they advertise.
Loyalhound
And one more thing: Because the weather has broken up there in the land of the midnight sun, we need to hear news about a pick and shovel in motion soon. Without that, PR's are nothing more than . . . . gasification.
Re #3795:
Well, Sue, that would be an accomplishment, but for the pixels you're not filling in in this stock photo during the past six months. Where we are now is where the big shots said we were going to be three and four months ago.
It's all relative, I guess. Relative to where MILV was in early November, the roll out looks promising. But relative to bottom line numbers (currently in the low .004's) and the mostly empty promises at the end of last year, we're not far from the other side of nowhere.
Loyal
P.S. - - - At the end of the day, can anyone here say they're anything other than somewhat disappointed?
Going on 14 hours of daylight now up there in the hinterlands with temps above freezing almost all the time. Before long for a brief period the sun won't go down at all, so it would seem that now's the time to get crackin' on construction. In another six months they'd probably need ice road truckers to get it done. Hence, any day now.

Re #3785:
Sometimes I see us as a school of starving little fish in a stagnant pond. Then someone drops a bread crumb into the water and we all scurry over to it thinking, "This is it! This is the feast we've been waiting for!"
But that's all it is, a measly bread crumb that presents false hope. And a week or so later another bread crumb is dropped in. And the beat goes on.

Re: #3757
Valid questions from all posters. I never did like this partnership business in pennyland.
And someone correct me here, because this doesn't just smell fishy, it smells like a fish one day out of water. To touch on something once again, . . . . if this is indeed insider dumping for the fast buck, it seems to me that we shareholders care more about this company's future than the company does. I can understand investors on this board wanting to sell to recoup prior losses; that's only natural. But if insiders who either purchased shares at .0001 or wrote them for themselves for free many months ago cash in and flip us the bird, that's something considerably less and disloyal.
Loyalhound
RSVP ---- Positive or negative, I can handle it.
Sunspot,
Thanks for the explanatory update. That clarifies the situation and sheds full light on the yo-yo effect.
Pity that insiders settle for the quick buck at the expense of their shareholders. In the long run all they end up doing is undermining their own company. Which would also explain why they often let the thing go belly up, then repeat themselves by starting another fledgling company in another field of endeavor later.
Hound
Sunspot,
Because I can't prove my suspicion, I can't argue against your assessment, so you may be notably correct. But couldn't a couple shorters working in tandem pull it off theoretically? After all, short selling has become quite a sophisticated art form these days. And does the SEC police a company as miniscule as MILV? I rather doubt it.
One thing's for certain: Someone has been cleverly moving the stock in the direction none of us want it to go. This hasn't all been nickel 'n dime profit-taking.
Still - Loyal
Re #3736:
Stupid, you say? That's all part of short seller's nasty strategy when trying to drive a stock down. Subtle? Yes. Even sneaky? Yes. But it works, because investors panic and fall for it.
F.Foot,
The thought of oil polluting the ground and groundwater didn't scare the farmers up there in the hinterlands decades ago any more than 50 below did, so I doubt gasification would, either.
And if they're going to start construction, they ought to be rolling any time now. With daytime temps currently in the low 50's and nighttime temps in the low 30's up there, they've got maybe five or six good months till everything and everyone hibernates. Come winter I'm told it's so cold it even hurts to breathe outside.

Today typifies what I've been admonishing and grumpy about for weeks. We finally received a bit of news from the inside (though it had to come through one of us), and look what happened?
Nothing changes things like communication from someone at the top. We oughtta see or hear more of it.

Pavito,
The government does have rules and regulations to oversee this business. Just one minor problem: It doesn't bother to enfore them at this level. Methinks there are more piranha swimming around in pennyland than in the Amazon River.
And Sueb,
If you were looking for a long-term investment, you sure found it here with Mistral. So, unless you cut bait and take your lumps, w.y.s.i.w.y.g.
As for me, I wasn't going long with this one at the outset. It just worked out that way. Hey, sometimes you're the Louisville slugger; sometimes you're the ball.

Oops. You're a decimal point off there; move to the right a bit. We know it's bad, just not that bad.

P.S. - - - Thanks to anyone who sends me private messages, even when they're critical. But I can't respond because I don't have premium. You can say I'm cheap, but I already know that.
WeBjam,
Sign of the times, my friend. Under the current administration and the coming N.W.O. you can look for this to increase.
Just remember the mantra: If a person knocks on your door and says, "Hello, I'm from the government and I'm here to help you," . . . . either shut the door or run for your life.

GoGo,
But if you're going to convert wood into energy, something has got to burn somewhere in the mix, doesn't it?
Oh, another trade show? And this one in Las Vegas? If things hold according to tradition, I wouldn't expect much if any communication from the execs when it's over. After all, we all know the old saw: What happens in Vegas . . . stays in Vegas.
And good gosh, they could have put to rest any and all confusion after the party in California as to whether or not they were even there by posting cell phone pictures of the booth, the products on a card table, or the crowd. How much would that have cost?
After five red days in a row and eight out of nine, GESI ended the day at .001 to the plus. Everything is peachy-keen now, and life makes sense once more. Outsiders will be standing in line to buy the stock at ask, because we've finally bottomed out . . . . again.
Loyalhound
- - - And I have this bridge. Call me.
Anyone hear any word from the execs? It's been more than two weeks since the shindig in California.
Loyalhound
- - - No, I haven't called. Some may think otherwise, but I for one don't believe it's in our place to call the CEO or his secretary. A) I don't want to talk to a box and, B) The people in charge owe their shareholders a courtesy report of some kind now and then. And I think it's then now.
In reference to #3489:
Sun and Suebee, I think once again you may both be right here.
--- Sue, the shorting techniques may or may not have been applied to Mistral, but something has obviously been fishy for months now.
--- And Sunspot, you gotta admit that this thing took a nosedive at precisely the time when PR's were most positive.
I hear what you're both saying, and once again, I have to give each of you some room, but one thing is certain: That link to conterfeiting of stock posted by Suebarth is a real eye opener for anyone who is willing to take the time to read it at length. It's contents only confirm what I've been seeing now for years, that the SEC and the DTCC and the big bankers are all thieves. Historically, when boiled down to its basics, stock trading is little more than an auction, which made it a risky but honorable business in theory. Regrettably, it's been reduced by banksters and monetary whoremongers to the level of a crap shoot with rigged dice.
Loyalhound
P.S. ---- Thanks for posting the link to counterfeiting, Sue.
Now that we've seen significant drops in 7 out of the last 8 trading sessions (and this one isn't out of the gate well), one would finally realize that nobody here really knows anything. It's all mostly speculation, and has been all along. That and the games people play. You buy and buy and hold long term while I buy and sell short, and then repeat myself and take your money.
Come on, who's kidding who here? As long penny pinks remain as penny pinks, there are no long term investors, and those who claim they are are only conning the rest. Sure most of the chart vitals look good, except for the maybe MACD which looks dreadful. "Hold fast and you will be rewarded," some keep saying over and over.
Oh please. Fact is, nobody's in this thing for anyone else, so be mindful of what you read, friends.

Your point is well taken and I've no argument against it. But I for one don't need daily news briefs to make me happy. However, I do confess that something higher than the .02's and heading north would.
And don't tell me. I know. I know. Those numbers are coming . . . . soon.
Have a nice day.

I don't think Suebee and Sunspot are aware that the other one is right.
Having researched nutrition for 28 years now, I've experienced something as fact: Zinc as derived from an inorganic source is worthless when included as a part of a homeopathic medicine, because it contains no enzymes. And since the enzyme is the life spark of every living cell in the universe (animal or vegetable), the human abody masterfully reads all minerals and vitamins quite accurately. Zinc from a plant source is quite useful when mixed with vitamin C (great against an oncoming virus), but ingested from an inorganic source is worthless.
Every study that found zinc to be of no value obviously tested this mineral from a non-living entity. They probably knew ahead of time that it wouldn't work and were merely going about publicizing what they wanted the public to believe. Besides, studies are very expensive, and nowadays they're conducted mostly by pharmaceutical firms with a vested interest in strictly drug therapy. Hence, you classic bias that fools the public.
So why aren't tests done using strictly organic sources, one might wonder. Simple. All minerals and vitamins are more expensive to test when derived from a living source. They're also more expensive to buy as well. Remember that the next time you think all minerals and vitamins are alike. You can fool the mind or the eye, but not the neurological system of the human body. It's too smart for that. Moral? - - - You get what you pay for.
Which begs the question: What are the sources of Mistral's products? I don't know, and they're not telling us.
Loyalhound
P.S. - - - No, I'm no clinical expert, but I've been staking my life on what I just shared. And I can say one thing in defense of the above: I haven't seen a doctor for any reason now for just under 44 years. Life works, friends. Non-life doesn't.
Have a nice day. Boy, we all need a break with this stock, don't we?
