**Is everyone on board with Eric giving up salary for 90 days??**
Copy and paste with your response. We'll let Eric know this week how we feel.
He has a few hundred million shares, and plenty of motivation to work all day. Don't give me that, don't even give me that.
Now is not the time to take a salary. Once WNBD is profitable, he can come to the table and request a fair salary. Those are my thoughts.
i 'll try to call him
Yeah, it just doesn't sit well with me that he's taking a salary right now. I love the products and its potential in the marketplace, but wow does it look bad when the CEO is making a 6 figure salary and we are fighting for survival down here.
Please, no youtube video testimonials. Let's get back on track. How does everyone feel about Eric going with out salary for the next 3 months? The $8k can be spent on tv commercials in Ohio supporting the Lowe's initiative. A big 90 day push to get more Lowe's stores.
Doesn't seem like a safe working environment, takis. Can Lion Eric at least have bathroom breaks?
Sorry to hear that, stervc. Hard to fathom a pinky CEO lying straight to your face, guess I've heard it all now. I've been there, bud.
That reminds me of the CEO of Glaceau/Smart Water. The guy worked non stop, selling out of his car to mom and pop shop's in NY. Eventually his company was sold to Coca Cola for 4B.
I'll add a 3rd, and that is the broadcast of Mexicanal on their other channel. This will be broadcast on regular TV, to non cable subscribers.
she know's i'm right ;)
you are certainly no delicate flower and you ain't making history either, louisa.
You hearing any buzz on the Baja deal? I think he wanted to close that by end of year.
**Takis® is singing the Winning Colours stain remover song**:)
..."since I got the winning colours it changed my whole attytooood"!
"OH YES IT HAS"!!
30%-50% is standard. 15% is a pipe dream.
For each tranche. Usually done in $40-50k tranches at 30% discount to the pps at the time.
Use a discount of at least 30%.
Good idea and 2011 guidance.
Conference call for 3rd Q fins?
no doubt, hope lorne and eric can close sherwin williams.
Seems like Satview's strategy is to market to underserved areas, small towns and rural areas where the 'big guys' don't bother. I think they can carve out a nice slice of the broadband market over time. Perhaps 100k customers within 3 years. How would you like that?
I think a progress update or a conference call would be appropriate at this stage. Sort of set the table for 2011 and keep the investing community in the loop.
Nice writeup. Oil is definitely back in focus and exploration is busy as ever. I know you are in Houston and the Eagle Ford is potentially the biggest domestic oil play ever. Should be an exciting market for o/g plays for the next 10 years.
To me, the studio is a major asset as it gives them so many possibilities. With the delay with Charter, we could see three nice PR's go off back to back to back:
*Azteca on Charter's basic lineup
*Closing the Baja deal
*Launching the Mexicanal affiliate
Definitely possible if we get buy pressure on the ask side.
you should have been here in 2009.
Agreed, probably loaded around 9/7 when this stock had 51m volume, at the time an all time record.
Going to be a strong day today.
yeah, might have bought a chunk at that time.
Well, keep in mind, there was a 51M volume spike back on 9/7. The shell was purchased on 9/3.
moves easy with enough buy pressure. the float is 230m.
I'd imagine. I did find this, right in Larson's wheelhouse as his background was ethanol.
Abengoa Bioenergy Opens Pilot Cellulosic Ethanol Plant in York, NE
Date Posted: October 16, 2007
By Myke Feinman, BioFuels Journal Editor
York, NE--Abengoa Bioenergy hosted an open house Friday, Oct. 12, to showcase its new state-of-the-art cellulosic biomass-to-ethanol pilot plant.
Abengoa Executive Vice President Chris Standlee.
The plant is located adjacent to Abengoa’s 55-million-gallon-per-year (MMGY) ethanol production facility, and will research and test proprietary technology for ultimate use in commercial-scale conversion of biomass into ethanol.
Abengoa CEO Javier Salgado announced at the open house that on Sept. 19 the pilot plant produced its first batch of ethanol utilizing wheat straw as the feedstock.

Well, they have a couple divisions they are thinking taking public.
Key developments for Abengoa Bioenergy Corporation
Abengoa Mulls IPO For Units
05/13/2010
Abengoa SA is studying an Initial Public Offering (IPO) of Abengoa Solar S.A. and Abengoa Bioenergy Corporation. Amando Sanchez Falcon, Financial Director of Abengoa said that it is still too early to speak about deadlines, but Abengoa has been considering the possibilities of the two units to go public. Falcon did not comment whether the units will be listed in Spain or USA, but confirmed that Spain will not be the major solar or thermal power market of Abengoa in the coming years.

Stan Larson, TRDY's CEO, sold his old company to them. (High Plains)
The Acquisition
Abengoa's acquisition of High Plains was finalized in early 2002, making the company part of a large international corporation under the wing of Abengoa Bioenergy, which holds the Spanish corporation's global bioenergy interests. Abengoa Bioenergy CEO and President Javier Salgado said that Abengoa's purchase of High Plains provided an entry into the American market and served as a springboard for the company's growth initiatives, both nationally and internationally.
On April 15, 2003, High Plains officially changed its name to Abengoa Bioenergy Corporation after operating under the former name for more than a year following the acquisition. The name change signaled the company's intent to leverage its international reputation in order to "enhance its competitive position" in the United States.

Certainly possible if we get some early buying pressure.
It's on the OTCQB with 11 years of SEC filings. Little different than a pinky with no information or filings.
It's an sec reporting shell with 11 years of filings, not a pinky thats been r/s a bunch of times with toxic financing.
Many former High Plain's employees are still with Abengoa.
