Eternal Image, Inc. (Pink Sheets: ETIM) Eternal Image, Inc., a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of licensed image caskets and urns, today announced it has been profiled by CBS News as part of a two-part series on the changing funeral industry. The series was developed by CBS Newspath which provides completed news stories under the heading of "MoneyWatch" to the network's news affiliates for airing on local newscasts.
The series, by reporter Alexis Christoforous, became available to affiliates today (Friday, February 16) and can air as stations have space available.
"CBS News affiliates from around the country can download the series via satellite and incorporate it into their local newscasts," said Nick Popravsky, vice president of marketing, Eternal Image. "It is a very exciting opportunity for us and we are looking forward to seeing, and hearing, where it has aired."
CBS Affiliate Services visited Eternal Image last month to develop the piece and then went on to visit and interview a funeral home carrying the Eternal Image products and a consumer who is waiting for a particular sports product to become available. Eternal Image plans post a link to the piece on its web site when one becomes available.

About Stockwire: Stockwire is a company that is pioneering a new way to research companies before you invest them. It's called a Stockumentary. A Stockumentary is a documentary on a publicly traded company. Imagine a Dateline NBC segment, but on a publicly traded company. We are the first company to ever bring this type of quality research to investors in this format.
The Stockumentary has video interviews with management, product demos, video tours of office or factory, research reports, sec filings and much more. All of this is delivered to investors in high quality video, either by mail or email.

Is it possible that the retrace could get all the way back to 8? and 9? and if so then this will have huge buying pressure and if not the pressure will lighten up hoping for a dip to 5. All that said and I'm staring pretty hard at the tempting 11's. Perhaps average down and sets some eod buys at 11,10,9 and see if the fish are biting...
"never lose"
Gotcha!!! haaaahaahaaaaaha!!
Loose lug nuts ... are dangerous.
lol ;_)
I'm sure varok would be happy to know that I increased my shares by 133% this week.
would you agree the technicals on the chart looked like a floor forming in the 12's? maybe an eleven. I will be looking to set a buy at 11 and see if it gets filled first thing.
I can't breatheeeeeee...lmao
true story though....
Go Packers ! Wheres the G Urn?
Glad Brett is going to play next year..
Hi to my friends in Wawatosa Wi.
NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) would be cool. I'm sure John Force and the Budweiser Racing Team would like it as well. WE go every year.
You know I used to do work for the Motorcycle Industry Counsel which also manages DTM, Discover Todays Motorcycling, (media division) sposored by the four major manufactures: Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki, perhaps there is the next group in our cross hairs...hmmmmmmm
thats the first thing I noticed when viewed it as well.. Funny thing.. my wife works for Country Wide Home Loans, they were talking about it at work today, giving reference to a conversation that started about baseball, then someone said, hey I watched that on the news this weekend and boom all over the office people were talking about "Eternal Image".. PS none of these people know about our shareholder status, my wife never mentioned the stock.. It was pure company interest at her office "The Big Elephant" I call her company. Pretty cool when she came home and spoke of it...
By the way gang..
Lets keep in mind the change in corporate climate. Each time this company announces something it stretches us further towards growth and when a thing is stretched or expanded it never regains it's original shape.
that said, I'll give you an example:
We are on the news networks now, we are on the desks of the major news channels. Someone at each network has been assigned to watch and monitor developements with Eternal Image. When we landed on CBS it changed things forever. We will not regain our previous "shape", we grew in that instance and you will see the impact over time begin to take shape by the attention we get from the media, they are our friends now and this will impact our visibility nationally and globally. "Follow ups" is the key in the news business and the key to our expansion..
Thats what I see happenening..
The chart looks nice and healthy and full of volotility. Since last Wednesday we have seen a nice trend developing and imo at a upward 8 to 16 pitch. I see the floor this week hittng 10. I will look to buy more at 9,10,11,12 I don't think we will re trace to 6/7 range, but if we do I will leave some bread in the account to scoop some up.
PS, saw the Dodgers on TV tonight doing some training in Florida..... Baseball is here !!!!!!!
The metaphor of "painting" is something I rarely use outside of "The Studio" when describing "other businesses" like EI. I do think much of that comparison stems from looking in more detail of the Art graphics of the company. We don't talk much about it, but the art design and layouts of the MLB line for example are quite stimulating to me, since and besides other things I am involved daily and in the design, production and publication of many company logos and ad layouts. I am constantly creating new concepts that were developed in a Studio over many years with an International Art Studio Corporation. My contributions to that studio have resently displayed art in the Carter Presidential Library and Center for Peace in Atlanta Ga.. more to follow on my observations of the Artistic Values and abilities of EI...
lol
My sentiments exactly.
All of the PR's are part of the business model and are goals achieved within the business plan. Like all companies they may or not be in the order depending on the finalization of agreements as they are executed. However each one is vitally important in the building blocks of success and are in my view pieces of the puzzle needed in order to fullfill the big picture. They "Painting" will come together so to speak and overtime all of the licencing and memberships will be the piplines through which this business will thrive. Just like building something new, something never befor built... It will take time, money, effort, energy.
The levels of achievement thus far are awesome imho.
that was interesting...
Its only 9 pm out here!! but I'm off, since I think on EST time these days...
Good night (not NITE) lol..
every little bit helps...lol
good work pete...
hows rushnet treating ya?
anytime.. Some days are better than others.
I remember back a couple of months when SOROS posted the definition of Loose vs Lose thought it was a good one.
Here's one for the day: Off Topic or On Topic, you decide:
ATTITUDE
by Charles Swindoll
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of our attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one thing we have, and that is our attitude...
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it."
roger that bud.. thanks, I was reading from back about 30 posts, catching up on the days' activities on the board.
thanks, thanks, thanks !!!!!!!!!! I'll leave it at that and move on...
Nikki the A/s is not 2.5 stop posting it as you have for the past 2 days. 2.771 is the A/S as of today!!! I verified it. Get the facts straight.
Int'l testing is APEX Oil and Gas Houston. Now when I do a ticker search for International Testing the symbol that comes up is ETIM, when I do a APEX Oil Search nothing comes up.

know it well derek..nice community, remember to drive slowly when in the gate (lol)
grew up in Nellie Gail Ranch..
Lots of pet owners.
and don't underestimate me bud... I already made money here on more than one occasion. All of my shares are profit trades. So what were you saying?
Gotcha on the richest land thing. However the pet urn idea seems to go over well in the OC. My family owns and founded one of the first pet grooming services going back 15 years. And the word on the street in Coto De Caza is they love the idea and they love their pets.These long standing clients are amoung the wealthy. I'll go with their feedback before yours, plus their are a lot of Dodger fans amoung them as well and a boat load of catholics. Don't under estimate this company and its vision.
PS: The church moves slowly and steadily.
Its early.
RSI above 75!
What is it you do?
Do you get 4 or 5 dollars per post?
You are trying to save new investors..look around none of us here today are new, we have covered all of your subject matter dozens of times over the past several months....thanks anyway..
well said, reminds me of last year when Silver Screen Studios took off..and then took off...lol It does happen, \
Dream BIG !!
welcome olympus to the EI thread. 504's are complete as I am sure you read this weekend. As far as new 504's, we would be a little ahead of ourselves to even talk about it at this point in my opinion.
The focus now is forward into baseball season. The company is generating revenue now and orders are "strong". So if you are a shareholder then congrats! Enjoy it, its just the beginning of a good year for EI.
ikno..
where's dart?
Superbee.. thanks for your good work here..
In looking over the chart and seeing us finally break the channel. Do you think we will see a new floor in the 20's moving into the spring time? opinion of course..lol
ikno..
nice post, thanks!
The point is to verify from all sources I deem appropriate regarding any and all securities I purchase as recommended by securities professionals, it has to do with DD, notes etc... It is not about ETIM at this point, but rather towards gathering information outside of a company in order to maintain a system of checks and balances just like when a company hires a potential employee, it calls and verifies the information on the individual. (same principle)
Tried to get to the computer to put in a buy, but missed it by few minutes. Will get er done in the am, perhaps I'll put in an order for 109,000 with ST and see if it goes thru accurately.
we should see it on the streamer it goes buy within a minute or two on ST, I usually see it and it has always been accurate with ST.
verification
One entry found for verification.

lol...thanks ! Mr Sparks.
Re: info verifacation assistance.
Note: Through out the site at www.akc.org I could not find pet urn subject matter and was looking to verify from AKC the status on EI products as part of my DD.
If anyone has the time or is semi retired and vested here, please feel free to skim thru the data below to see where one might find the person or persons at AKC that could verify where EI business related info is kept, so that we can see it, as EI shareholders. tia..

The American Kennel Club founded the Canine Health Foundation in 1995 to help all dogs live longer, healthier lives. Since then, the AKC Canine Health Foundation has become the largest nonprofit charitable organization to fund exclusively canine health research. As a 501 (c) 3 organization, the mission of the AKC Canine Health Foundation is to develop significant resources for basic and applied health programs with emphasis on canine genetics to improve the quality of life for dogs and their owners.
Like humans, dogs suffer from many diseases that are primarily genetic in nature. According to the most recent AKC Canine Health Foundation survey of national breed clubs, the top ten diseases are cancer, epilepsy, thyroid disease, hip dysplasia, allergies, heart disease, progressive retinal atrophy, cataracts, patellar luxation, and reproduction disorders. Since 1995, more than 240 grants have been approved for funding, totaling more than $12 million allocated to research. For more information visit our website at www.akcchf.org.

If I were management at this company, I would want as much money for each share as the market could tolerate. I would want to test the resistence of the top end of share value. I would not go the cheap route. I say raise the bar, make these shares expensive, supply and demand. Why make my stock cheap? Unless there is a middle man so to speak...lol
