Not necessarily, Merry
They may (may not) want to apply both the record day and ex-divvy to qualify people for the new stock. The current silence helps A LOT to get rid of small investors.

Merry:

This is exactly what I was worried about.
See my post #16761.
Taking into account that Alex wants to reward the true longs ONLY it does make sense. That's why I still keep my shares waiting for the ex-divvy.

I wouldn't pay any attention to that B/S

The next step of our so-called "DD" should be Alex's underwear.
We really need to find his girlfriend(s)... if any...
Unfortunately, Google didn't return any. I keep digging, my friends
LOL... LOL...LOL

"companies rarely announce ex-divi dates in advance when issuing stock dividends"

Does it mean we should hold the stock through both record day, which was March 30, and ex-divi, which is still unknown?
If it's true the current silence makes A LOT of sense. They may simply reject those who sold after the record day.
Sorry, if I didn’t get your point.

The silence becomes unacceptably long.
The Doc is loosing his credibility.

What makes you think this way???

It looks like we'll see a big drop today. Many people panicing.
I've decided to hold my shares till the very end of the story whatever it will be...

"Where is Alcar Chemicals Group, Inc. registered? US or Canada?" - Good question after buying shares.
Just trying to imagine if the silence lasts for two more weeks or so. We'll see 0.02 price easy.
This game is for steel nerves. Isn't it?

You know, I still sleep very well holding my 660K shares, as I don't care much about the current price decline. We sow 0.035 some time ago and I really want to see this price once again to increase my position.
Some people may disagree, but my understanding is that the true reason behind the silence is to get cheap shares for Siam. Another consideration could be that Alcar is trying to avoid having a war with shorts and giving them a chance to cover.
May be true may be not… Just hyping
However, if the Doc is not allowed to be in direct communication with us he MUST mention something about it without disclosing the facts if he’s not allowed. It would be the right and fair way to familiarize his shareholders with the new IR process.

Guys,

Please don’t fall into illusion. The article is great – no doubt.
However, it was prepared some time ago. The date Apr 06 2007 doesn’t mean any real “signs of life” from the Doc. The article could stay in-line to be published for some considerable amount of time. This is how it usually works in science.

Sentinel,

Just to let you know that the biggest power of a public discussion is creating a big picture.
Taking into account so many unknowns I think it would be more than wise to analyze different business models Alcar may (may not) use. This is what’s called a “big picture”
The weather condition in Thailand was just a joke. Sorry, I did not put my “LOL” next to it.

Sentinel,

Let's discuss the weather condition in Thailand then
This would be definitely on topic.

Why did you delete my posts in which I asked the guy to share his USTI experience? It's good to know as Alcar may do the same.

Many removals are unfair.
This board looks to me like “a theater of a single actor”
I’m out of here

Could be...

Sent,

Why did you delete my question to TA regarding USTI taking private? It seems I know the answer - "off topic"
Do you really think discussing a business model, which was used in the past and could be implemented by Alcar is "off topic"?

Han,

It doesn't look like you understand the big picture.
I personally don't care about the ethanol demand in Thailand.
I also don’t care if it was raining there last Monday or not… I’m not a weather person…
If the Alcar technology is great it could be implemented everywhere.

Great find!

However, I did not find anything new there.
It is a brief summary of Alcar PRs.

'ezxccsc'

Very simple:

If they want to take the Co. private they don’t need strangers in the team.

Step_1
Shaking the tree to get rid of weak hands. This is what they are doing now.
Step_2
Offer buying their shares back to those who remains after the “completion” of the step_1
Step_3
Announce that stranger’s shares remaining after the completion of the step_2 will be restricted from selling for a year or so. Some people will not be able to get their money frozen for that long and will sell.

Hi 'Crypt Keeper':

I like your post. My opinion is absolutely the same. Those who don't believe will never do until they see a very clear picture. However, they should realize the current pps value is a result of many uncertainties. If everything was clear the price would be way different. Only risk takers and good annalists will win at the end.
I think the company will be taken private eventually. If you think about the current silence from this standpoint it becomes 100% clear that they don't want to push the pps up at this point.
AC/Siam are shaking weak hands to buy more shares and buy them for less. They are testing the current shareholders. Those who are really strong and long will be offered buying their shares back. Those who reject selling will get their shares restricted for at least one year. This is how I understand the situation.
The current silence may last till the end of April. We’ll see a very light volume at the end. Then, AC/Siam will announce big news to drive the price in the right direction.
I also think that the board overall sentiment is well orchestrated. Every day someone is trying to discuss things over and over though some topics are absolutely clear. Take a guess “why?” The answer is “shaking the tree” by blowing up uncertainties.
Here is an example:
A friend of mine invested in AC in good faith couple of weeks ago. After reading iHub posts he decided to sell his shares on the next spike. He got so depressed by reading the iHub posts that he even said he would sell ½ of his holding on Monday accepting 50% loss. This is how it works.

Happy Easter to those who are long and strong!

1) Like I said 99.9% submit provisional p/app first just to get the Priority Date on the claims. 2) I disagree with "whatever07". A provisional patent still requires formal claims. You can change the claims then when you submit the final actual patent. 3) No claims in a provisional patent does not make any sense. What are you claiming in your provisional patent if you have no claims??? Patenting is ALL about claims

Mark:

Read my previous post please.
There's no way to search for provisional p/applications unless you’re a patent lawyer.
Presently, I have three provisional patents pending. I could not find anything about them on-line using my search machine, though all my actual patents were available.

whatever07

You're right. This is how it works in 99.9% of cases.
A company should submit a provisional patent to get the IP protected for a year.
Then, they submit either the actual patent if the subject looks final or add/change the claims to extend the provisional patent for another year.
It’s all about money…
A provisional patent costs almost nothing. Any employed individual can afford it. However, if you want to submit the actual patent it costs thousands of dollars. I’m not surprised at all by the fact that none of the available on-line patent search engine can find the patent. Only actual patents are available.

'up-down'

Thanks

Did anybody notice any specific buyer during the day?
thanks

'hmongvestor'

I'm with you!
If I were the good Dr. I would not PR anything after reading some posts over here before the things become final. We have more than enough info if you trust the Co. If you don't trust - it's never enough.
Some people here want to know how many times a day the DR. goes to the restroom... LOL

I will not be posting anything till we get a PR.
I’ve gone through all posts - the board looks sick with paranoia at this point. We’re chewing same things over and over.

GLTA

Not he greatest, actually...
I've seen many others
I trust the DR. Just take your time.
I like silence better than pumping PRs.
It's not a scam, IMO

I have no doubt we are going to $2+
The recent silence and disconnect are the best indication we are...
When Siam finish the buyback you'll see the REAL PPS

here is the link to ip locator:

http://www.ripe.net/perl/whois?query=64.187.42.90&.submit=Submit+Query

enter the X-Originator IP in the box and you'll get the location of the server.

If it does not work there many other locators on-line.

You're wrong here
You can trace any email down right to the sender server. I've done it many times. You need to change your display settings in the options.

OK
Fine

Sent

Why don't we want to lacate the server you got Dr's email from.
At least we'll know if he was in SEA that day or not.

To me it's quite clear that the reason for the last week silence and "no-show" on Monday was to keep the price low for Siam's buyback. When they are done we'll see "Big Things".

Jent,

I can probably do it. There's "IP Locator" on-line tool. It allows you to locate the server you got an email from. The only thing you have to know is the IP address of that server.
It's also simple if you use Hotmail. You need to change a few settings. If you forward Dr's email to me I will try.

'ezxccsc'

I don't think they've bought this much.

Sent

If Siam's planning to spend $282M over 4-5 yrs it doesn't mean they don't want to buy cheap shares now, IMO.
Actually, they didn't bring any harm to longs. Right?
I have my shares, you have yours...
If I'm long and strong I don't care about price fluctuations.
