Charlie,
Do you remember a couple of years ago, I was all worked up on Korea? I cannot even find information on it anymore. The deal there was supposed to be 200 machines over 5 years!!!! Yes, that was a PR by cal that did not come to fruition.
RJ
Al,
Singing to the Choir! Send a letter to FASC.
JR!
Waite,
For entertainments sake only, If I were to guess at share price by June first....... I am guessing between .0005 and .50!!!!
And if I were Brian, I would issue a PR stating to shareholders, FASC is broke, no money in the checkbook, projects delayed, some canceled, hoping to be able to pay the rent at the end of the month, but look guys, I am quoting thousands of KDS's a month and Sam is still holdin' so hang in there, all is good!!!!!
Just kidding,
Good to hear from you Waite, I don't have FASC wrote off yet and still looking for potential!!! The American way!
RJ
Hey Charlie,
I am not much into predictions other than for entertainment and waiting sake as we have in the past. I do enjoy trying to find out what we can and sharing it here. I was the first to issue caution a while back and got slapped up here pretty good. I also do not think we are dead.
As Sam like to say.... Still holdin' , gulp, and yup!
RJ
Charlie,
Waite lives in an assisted living facility that have RA's available to help. His tinkering with the idea of Hospice just means he is thinking of discontinuing life saving measures. He would live out the balance of his life with "comfort" care only.
Waite wants to give his FASC millions to a few close friends first!!!!!!
Personally I would like to see Waite hang around a while, but that's because I am selfish.
RJ
Waite,
If you decide to leave, make sure you give me a call first!!!
We need a couple of FASC summits over strawberrrrrry pie first,
besides you promised to hire me as a RA. You are cramping my career!
I'd be you're ugliest RA.
Your friend,
RJ
Al,
We were having a dialogue, not trying to convince you or anyone else about anything. I am not sure how your rant relates to anything.
RJ
Sam,
I am guessing that it may be an issue with not letting the competition know what they are experimenting with?
RJ
TR,
Oops! you beat me!
RJ
Trout,
I think from memory, they have approx. 6 to 7 locations that would have the machine if there were not through put issues. I am believing that we discussed this a couple of years ago? Maybe things are fixed now?
RJ
Hi Sam,
It is an issue with through put. They love the product coming from the machine, but not the volume.
RJ
Fasctrack,
Brian emailed me and said he looked into both companies. He had sent information to them a while back(several years). At this time he does not believe the companies to be active.
Brian is talking to Simo about St. Malo this week.
Brian is struggling with the idea that so many people seem interested and claim their intentions but are not following up with PO's and deposits.
RJ
Al,
Your experience lines up with my communications. It would take a unique sales person with contacts and experience in the industries that need the pathogen killing aspects to our KDS grinding system.
It would not hurt if we could work on the cost aspect of the equipment also. To sell twice the machines to make the same profit would benefit us by the growth of more sales that would make the twice become triple and on and on.
My opinions,
RJ
TR,
Our limitations for Bio-fuels is that our KDS does a better job of grinding and drying than any other. The problem is that it is expensive and that would be ok if it could handle the volume needed to be viable. From what I have been told, a user would have to buy to many machines to make our KDS viable in the Bio-fuel arena.
I think we are a special niche product and our limited volume reflects that.
Opinions from when I used to call companies and inquire.
RJ
TR,
FASC has a patent for particular use of Kinetic disintegration. It is of interest here to make sure that if there is Kinetic disintegration use to making a Bio-fuel that our patents are not violated and if they have a use for "our" KDS machine.
I do appreciate your research and sharing. I just wanted to try to connect any dots if I could. No reflection towards you. I just like to tell myself the truth.
Thanks,
RJ
Hi smitty,
Yes, that is the same number as Nexgen uses. I am sure that is why they do not answer the phone with a company name. It may be someone that has a education in Bio-deisel and is trying to get in the game?
I do not know.
Thanks for your contribution.
RJ
Sam,
The Nexgen's Bio-diesel PDF show that it is from 2009. The phone
at Nexgen has a recording that does not answer with the company name. Tomorrow maybe someone could call Nexgen and see what they can
find out.
Brian is going to check with Adam to see what he remembers pre-2009
if anything. He only remembers sending them information. He does not remember any testing that went on, but it does not mean they did not do some samples, he will check.
Hopefully our FASC KDS patent is not being infringed on?
RJ
Fasctrack,
Brian says that FASC has sent them information (nexgen), Adam may have done
samples for them? but he is not aware of them using FASC's KDS.
Brian will look into it. He does not know if they are working on a hope and a dream, or if they are infringing on a patent?
RJ
Hi TR,
I called Brian. He said we do not supply Nexgen their equipment. I emailed him the website information and he said he will follow up on it.
RJ
Pat,
It would be great once we close a few sales and get back in shape, to have a preferred shares offering. The idea would be to use the funds to diversify?
Also, I agree about MnVap. Our problem there is getting on the bad list with the EPA. Keith Poier tried to play tough with the EPA. It does not work that way. With much of Government and Unions it is brown nosing, ego building and pay offs. I have witnessed it first hand. Fortunately I preferred not to get the contracts than play that game.
I label my thoughts on St. Malo as hopes!
RJ
FASC,
We have the money owed to us, and we do have sales in the pipeline.
I think with Brian holding the doors open and conserving cash, we have a good chance. If St Malo does its thing, then we have a little publicity coming our way!
Hopes,
RJ
Patrik,
Maybe TR, Myself and a couple of other larger shareholders could get on FASC BOD? What FASC needs is a few industry experts on the BOD to help guide its future. Not day to day management, just open up windows, maybe even some doors!
Maybe its to late, maybe not?
RJ
Patrik,
"Honestly would you loan any money to a buyer
of a KDS when the company is broke. How do you know they will
be in business much longer. Im asking from a professional
stand point not a personal one."
Honestly, I have. That does not mean it was the right decision. I have won and lost. I currently am working on a deal to make 7% with a company of a friend. I also have sold some equipment and inventory on time payments. Sometimes I win and sometimes I loose. It does not make it the wise thing to do so I do get your point and am not at odds with it.
I guess my confidence is in Brian. I began thinking this was becoming a bad deal the last year Cal was alive. FASC is staying alive due to Brian's stubbornness in my opinion. As I have stated before, I would definitely handle things different, but that does not make me right. I could be wrong also! As you probably know, business is about making your best decisions.
It would be nice to see FASC absorbed by a larger manufacturer or distributor that has many complimentary pieces of equipment in their portfolio. My original hopes was that we could increase share structure and purchase a distributor of such ourselves. I talked to Brian and Cal several times about it.
Lets hope that Brian receives monies owed, adds a few sales this year, and uses the borrowed time to look for some kind of merger or buyer for our little company. But, if they stay independent I will probably still be here!!!!
My thoughts,
RJ
HI Net,
I will post a financial for you. We need to get paid for a couple of already sold machines so we can pay the rent.
Of course it cannot be recorded in the books as machines sold until delivered and paid in full!
It is all about cash flow and there are no shares to sell. No cash in the checking account. Lots of quotes going out, but we need better hooks!!!!! ....Maybe Rodick could make us some. Where is he anyway, is he still mad? I bought his scraper for my grill. The shipping cost as much as the scraper! but it does work.
RJ
Waite,
I cannot predict FASC PPS. There are so many things that can happen positively for fASC, but yet with the history of delays and cancellations, it would difficult to time anything.
I am glad that my prediction of you being with us here in 2013 came true. I am going to enjoy this year doing tug of war with ya!
One thing I can safely predict due to hearing it from Brian and Adam, .. is that we will remain in business.
RJ
Waite,
I am back from vacation and hitting the school books! We took my wonderful almost 90 years young mother in law to Florida for a couple of weeks. I think it is the Vitamin D in the sunshine!
Now if you would spend a couple of thousand dollars more on FASC shares we may just move up a tenth of a penny or so? I wish there was new news on FASC, but since there is not, we will have to "waite" on Sun doing some speculative DD for us.
My end of year PPS prediction for FASC did not come to be, so I will sit and "waite" before embarrassing myself further with a new prediction. TR is optimistic enough for the all of us. How-ever along with Sam, I am "waiteing and hoping" for a very good 2013!
RJ
Sun,
I promise, I will not deliver the crow pie! Us dreamers
are not that mean.
RJ
TR,
I do not know much about that kind of stuff. I do like having fun with you and Sun. I also appreciate your ability to take it!
I am looking forward to see what transpires for FASC over the next couple of months. I am not real concerned with day to day activities or PPS. My broker will not let me buy FASC shares anyway! The gambler in me wanted to pick up some of those .01 shares. I have a feeling when Brian gets the 10Q's caught up to date, I will be to late. ....on the other hand, it has to happen.
I trust Brian and believe he will get FASC back on track. He does not seem like the kind of guy to sell the shareholders out. St. Malos post was timely and encouraging. I look forward to visiting the facility once once it is operating with our KDS system.
If and when FASC hits a dollar PPS, Waite says I must buy Sun a Strawberry pie. While on the subject of food,I wonder if the KDS would over-dry the strawberries and make a poor strawberry smoothie?
I have a friend who bought FASC because of me. He said I am ok for now, but if FASC does not produce in 2013 ??????? He may be related to Al? Al may actually sound sweeter.
RJ
Hi Sun,
I am not sure if you are talking about TR again or if you are talking about MM's and FASC. Probably both since you are replying to TR in your post.
"I'm always struck by how when" someone has an opinion you mock it before presenting yours in lieu of explaining the difference. I wonder how this gets past the moderators. Oh well, no never mind to me. Just funny. I do enjoy your opinions though. I even agree with yours at times. I enjoy TR's zealousness also. His research shared here is valuable to myself as well as others. As adults I think and hope we all sort the DD shared here.
By the way. As long as you are here to dialogue with us, and I do find you to be very intelligent. What do you think about Powder burners. I know of two places that are interested in Powder burner technology that have investigated the KDS. Of course money is the issue both places. What do you think about the fact that the KDS offers the finest screen numbers of the grinders currently available in the market?
Any other technical help that you can give will be welcome. That is what this posting board is for.
TIA
RJ
PS. I agree, but it is only my uneducated opinion, I cannot see the MM's paying much attention to FASC's PPS.
St Malo,
You are more than kind. Thank you very much.
RJ
Hi Net,
I have talked to Sundrop and Brian. The last time I talked to Sundrop, my contact was no longer there. In fact hardly any of the same folks were there. All new engineers and preferring Chemicals rather than the KDS. Brian has told me when I have asked, that he
is not currently in contact with them. He and Adam have tried and continue to do so.
The last time I talked to Brian about it was a couple or few months ago. When did you talk to Sundrop?
I am not disagreeing with you, just trying to trade information.
You may be much more current that I am.
Thanks,
RJ
TR,
Sundrop currently has no interest in the KDS inspite of owning patents that incorporate the use of the KDS. They prefer the chemical and enzyme breakdown systems better that they have more
experience with. Volume I believe is one of many factors.
Brian and Andy have tried to convince them that it is a mistake to
not use the KDS. I am not heard anything lately. Last time I asked about it they were trying to open talks. The people they were working with are no longer with Sundrop.
RJ
Al,
There are a lot of us here that want PR's. We are not getting them. So we do what we can ourselves to search for information. That is not defending or attacking HQ.
We try to share both good and bad news as it comes along. Two years ago I cautioned about information I did not like in the 10Q. It was
taken very negatively. I share positive things and those are taken negatively. That is the way it is when people of different thoughts communicate together.
I have no ill thoughts about you or your opinions. I just think that we are entitled to ours also.
If you were to go back a ways in the posts you would find quite a few things posted about internal management of the company that I would like to see different. That is more important than PR's to me.
Yes I want PR's. "Since things are what they are" and I cannot change that, I changed my buying strategy to that of a hold.(unless the PPS is less than .01 for a gamble) I think Brian is interested in the Company survival and focused on that right now. I applaud him for it. (even if I would do things different)I am believing he is a man of integrity.
I am sorry for your stress, We all have stress and carry it differently. If I have offended you in any way, I am sorry.
I do not see you as intentionally wanting to cause damage here. There is another poster here that I have tried to value his input here, but he keeps insulting in lieu of contradicting. He would gain more credibility if he was contradicting in lieu of being bias. He obviously is very educated and talented. I would love to be able to enjoy his input.
I do hope and am believing that FASC is going to emerge from their current difficult time. It is my hopes and opinions, not meant to challenge anyone.
RJ
Al,
Who is a cheerleader? Not me. I am just not willing to sit
waiting for a PR that probably is not coming. Pouting is not
generally on by agenda. I am proactive even if I fail.
Want to talk to someone? Call !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RJ
Net,
In one of the Magazine articles that was posted here at one time
gave the contact information.
RJ
Sun,
"(although apparently will converse with one or two individuals)"
Read one or more of the previous 10Q's and ask questions relative to them. Then HQ will be happy to talk to you to.
Call or email them with insults and I think you will find a different reception.
FASC HQ is available to all or any shareholders. They have said so in previous PR's. They had one that invited shareholders to their
facility. Some have taken them up on this offer. Many shareholders do not use Ihub. I know a couple.
It is up to myself to do my own DD and phone calling if HQ does not do PR's other than 10Q's. By the way, Brian is working on a 10Q that he can get out once the funds come in. Accounting has just about completed their work!
Each to their own. Being a grown up does not take a college education.
RJ
Sun,
"I would have thought by now folk would have recognized that relying on second hand reports of promising prospects from FASC HQ is the quickest way to guarantee yourself a tax loss for 2013 at an early stage. "
I agree, how-ever the two machines are listed as inventory in a couple of previous 10Qs. You or anyone else can call HQ yourselves and get the info.
I am believing that they have been sold for quite some time and HQ has been having a difficult time getting paid.
RJ
Al,
Only a 50% loss, your lucky!
But actually, it is not a loss yet if you have not sold. You are just down currently.
I guess the difference is if you are investing or flipping here?
RJ
NET,
"rj2 has indicated the 2 machines in inventory were delivered, but not fully paid for."
This is what I am assuming from an old 10Q conversation I had with Brian last year asking about the inventory. As far as I know he is still trying to get paid.
RJ
Waite,
"Gave most of my possessions away"
Waite, FASC needs to get a multiple sale so you can buy your things back!!!!!!
Merry Christmas,
RJ
