Are we breaking out???????????????????????????????
Well, we had a trade above the .075 resistance yesterday and currently Schwab has us at .077. The volume does not say breakout, but maybe the break above .075 will trigger some volume.
Also note we are near the 50 day MA at .078.
Is hope a four letter word? It has been here the past 3 years as we are nearing the 3rd anniversary of the $5 closing high.

Rice Bran Solubles "EXTRACT"-------------------------------------
A poster at another board found the first product using Rice Bran Solubles EXTRACT. This could be major since it is the first product we know of using the NTRZ/Herbal Science joint venture. Herbal Science has been working on extracts for making nutraceuticals. "Garden of Life" is a well thought of company in the health food industry.

Since the BK blackout, there could be many more products we don't know of.
Since the UCC (creditors committee) agreed to stall off their appeal for two more weeks, it is logical that NTRZ might have news such as the sale of the Phoenix plant or such that will give them money to pay of most or all of their debt. The appeal was rather meaningless anyway. I expect news and the end of this week or early next week. The 12th is the hearing.
I am a hopeless optimist. NTRZ will make be a fool or rich. Most who know me think I'm a food anyway, so I got nothing to lose.
No paid level 2--but............................
It looks like the market makers have given up by the volume and only 11 trades so far today. We wait for news now, or maybe another YouTube movie, lol. Yesterday in the court readings, the UCC and NTRZ have decided to wait until May 12th for a hearing. To me that means maybe news will be out first? If the Dillon plant and Phoenix plant are sold, the creditors get paid--end of story. Then Z just needs to show cash flow positive to file a reorganization plan. Just opinion and a guess and a ton of hope.

Court records------------------------------------------------------
I was asked where you get court records since I post some things from the courts. I will post two links, Pacer is best for Federal and Justia is best for state proceedings. I do not use these nor know how to, I get info from a poster at Yahoo that does. he pays 8 cents per page and has an account that is needed. If a PDF is 25 pages, it will cost you $2.00. Good luck to anybody trying to figure it out. The poster was a forensic auditor for a big accounting company a while back and knows exactly what he is looking for.

Selling them stabilized rice bran..
.....and MannaPro make all the horse feed. They specialize in making the feed, NTRZ specializes in make SRB. John Short loves out sourcing. The cereal is the same as well as Dillon which makes stage 2 could be sold. Short would rather free up capital to focus on rice bran oil, which is the future of the company. NTRZ had it's fingers into too many divisions and did a below average in most. Many companies make animal feed and cereal, but nobody makes SRB and SRB oil. So, Short wants NTRZ what it does best and outsource the rest. The former CEO thought he was God and could do anything, including cook the books.
bike--more profits this way?
I can see potentially more profit by just selling the stage 1 to MannaPro than making the product and selling it them selves. A lot of overhead is done away with.

Batista resigns as Latin American VP
See the news alert above. He had heart problems in 08 and his is not a young man. His health may be just fine now for all I know. The creditors are a bit ticked at the executive salaries. Being that there is no sign of a replacement, this may help the situation with the creditors. I hope he did not resign for negative reasons.

bike-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You worded it fine. I meant REED's chart was maybe not a good comparison.
When? I think the CEO, Short wanted to get the class action lawsuit settled from a position of weakness. That could be approved by the BK judge May 17th. I look for PR's after that. But, in the meantime, the empty phoenix plant could be sold and the proceeds could almost get us out of bk by them selves. Also, the Dillon plant could be sold.
The sale of the pet food division and cereal are really money makers. In pet feed, NTRZ had a lot of overhead. Now they still sell the stage 1 to the Manna Pro. Rumors is that no profits will be lost. Also, Kerry buying the cereal business is a reported plus. They too will buy SRB from NTRZ and since they are in the cereal business, they will probably sell 2 to 4 times more. Thus the stage 1 sales will go up and cereal overhead down.
Shorts strength is in outsourcing. He wants the experts in their fields do the dirty work. I have a hunch that the former CEO wanted to make nutraceuticals in the Phoenix plant. Short would rather have a current nutraceutical maker make them. The whole outsourcing lets NTRZ expand faster with little cash. And profits go up much faster. The last CEO was a green horn and though he could be an expert on everything, but his only specialties were in ignorance and dishonesty.
bikeguy--not a good comparison-----------
But look at REED. I have it on a watch list, but it went right by me today. NTRZ with the right news double easily in an hour.>>>>>>

Good DD video for Rice Bran
The product is made from Rice bran by the founder and former CEO of NTRZ, Patty McPeak. This is a fantastic video from last year>>>>>
Old article for DD.........................
40 million pounds of riBran sounds like a lot, but NTRZ could have sold that in 07 in Brazil to JBS. RiBran can be made out of Defatted Bran, which is the left overs from the oil making. Brazil is doing at least 50,000 tons per year and oil is 20%. if 1/2 of the remainder is for RiBran, that is 20,000 pounds or 40 million pounds. I hope we find out 2009 and Q1 2010 soon.

Patty on radio“SUPERFOOD status of stabilized rice bran”
Former CEO and founder of NTRZ Patty McPeak will be on the radio tomorrow at 12 noon Pacific time tomorrow. She will also discuss the stabilized rice bran animal studies that, as you know, cannot contain placebo effects. In Northern California, tune your AM radio dials to 650. It will be on The Cory Nosler show, Wide World of Health.

I will post links after the show to listen to a replay.
Recently some bankrupt companies have been the best performing stocks on any exchange. Probably 75% of all chapter 11 stocks cancel existing shares. But, NTRZQ is one of a few that had a 4/1 asset over liability ratio going into BK. It seems that in 2009 and 2010 many CEO's are using BK to their companies advantage. John Short has turned around 3 other companies in his career. He has been there done that 3 other times. I feel he will do it again.
Below is a list of some of the best stocks on any exchange recently and ALL of them went BK at the low spot on their chart.

More on the class action lawsuit....................
This must be approved by the BK court. Tentative settlement may be on May 17th. All parties have agreed in principle. There are some hoops to go through.
Read all the posts in the attached thread by gnus_hound, there are 5 that spell it all out.>>>

Huge News out tonight--lawsuit settled
From a poster at Yahoo who pays to read government forms, he claims the the lawsuit against NTRZ, the former CEO and CFO has been settled and will be paid by D&O insurance. I hope this is true. There is nothing out officially yet, but it should be before the open on Monday. It should rock the stock Monday.
The wording from the Arizona form says according to the poster, who by the way is 100% reliable is>>>
"As of April 13, 2010, the Settling Parties, NutraCea and Carolina Casualty have reached an agreement in principle to settle
the putative plaintiff class’ claims against Defendants Edson and Crow in this case and the adversary proceeding the Lead Plaintiff has filed against NutraCea in its bankruptcy proceeding."
Arnold------------------------------------
I see you post at a lot of boards, Alerts & Daily Hot Stocks looks interesting. NOBODY is posting about NTRZ. If the stock breaks out Monday, you and I ought to post at as many group boards a possible. The market is listing and many micro stocks have stalled. A hot penny stock next week could soar since nothing else is getting much attention.
GL to us.

NTRZ hints at joint venture today
Hey guys and dolls, Irgovel is going to be appraised according to info on the restructure button today.. NOTHING ELSE we have sold or are trying to sell has been appraised like this. So, the only logical conclusion is that a potential partner is down to the nitty gritty and wants a formal appraisal before a partnership for rice bran oil is formed.
NTRZ is not in trouble. Wells Fargo has been paid down what we owe from of $6 million to just under $3 million according to the April 12th restructure button info.
Whoever has been selling stock the past few days does NOT know how to read. NTRZ is on it's way to greatness and sooner than I may think. IMO, Short has all the ducks lined up and is ready to go. NO WAY IN HELL would Quinn the Eskimo come on our BOD if we were about to lose our stock. He'd wait until after the carnage. So, Short threw 2 HUMONGOUS CLUES our way today, first groundwork for a Joint venture with RBO and a new long term BOD member.
Point 3--Lake Charles may start up before we exit BK. Don't the people who sold stock since Monday know how to read??????????
Myu God, it proves the market is inefficient and money can be made playing stocks.

PINK TRADE--------------------
That same UCC yesterday filed a $120,000 bill with NTRZ for legal fees. Those bozo's have been costing NTRZ a lot of legal costs by filing these nuisance motions. The court will never side with them and may even scold them on April 27th.
Think about it, they don't like all of NTRZ's legal fees, yet send NTRZ a bill for $120,000 for their legal fees. AGHAST. I would not be surprised if the BK judges disapproves their $120,000 bill.

HUMONGOUS NEWS LA #2 to reopen
This is stated on page 6, point 18-a
The exact words, "Debtor has recently assumed the long term lease of it's Lake Charles Louisiana facility and anticipates re-opening BEFORE it exists bankruptcy;
http://www.nutracea.com/CSRDocs/NOFDeclaration.pdf
With excess capacity at it's other 3 plants, why reopen it? There must be a big deal out there yet to be announced.
bbb--been in NTRZ a long time?
Yes you are right. When I first traded NTRZ, Mother Nature was just a little girl and The Dead Sea was just sick. It has not been my best trading stock, lol, but I still think it can be a monster. It either makes a bigger fool out of me or a millionaire, no in between.
Seriously, it is risky, but as far as Chapter 11 stocks go, it went into BK with a 4 to 1 asset over liability ratio. That is almost unheard of. And the new CEO has already saved over $13,000,000 by getting out of a ridiculous lease and other debts negotiated down. The cost of BK is said to be about, $1,000,000, so the CEO has made a profit of $12,000,000 so far by filing bankruptcy. This is not immediate cash, however, because the office lease savings of $8,000,000 is over 8 years or $1,000,000 per year. I hope they have a reorganization plan by June.
Below I will past stocks that had HUGE gains while in BK, but keep in mind that most end up worthless. I do like the odds here.

A summary from posters at another message board>>>
[0111] In some embodiments, the rice bran extract has a glucose uptake stimulation greater than a glucose uptake stimulation of 200 nM insulin. In some embodiments, the glucose uptake stimulation of the extract is 0.5 to 5 times greater than the glucose uptake stimulation of 200 nM insulin. In some embodiments, the glucose uptake stimulation of the extract is 0.5 to 3.5 times greater than the glucose uptake stimulation of 200 nM insulin. In some embodiments, the glucose uptake stimulation of the extract is 0.7 to 3.1 times greater than the glucose uptake stimulation of 200 nM insulin. In other embodiments, the glucose uptake stimulation of the extract is more than 3 times greater than the glucose uptake stimulation of 200 nM insulin. In other embodiments, the glucose uptake stimulation of the extract is about 3 times greater than the glucose uptake stimulation of 200 nM insulin.
It looks like They're claiming it works better than a control dose of Insulin for Glucose Uptake stimulation into the cells. That would mean lowering (Insulin Resistence) of the Body so that LESS Insulin is required to carry Glucose into the Body Cells. If this is as good as They claim, this is a very Big Breakthrough. I don't know about the JV, but this Patent is worth Big Big Bucks. imo.
These are HerbalScience, more specifically RiceScience extract products using DART that makes them prime candidates for Rx products. This might even be the first and only patent claim of being more effective than insulin in getting insulin into the cells. The DART technology is unique and not generally or readily available to others.
Interesting note about possible combinations:
[0130] The described extracts may be combined with extracts from other plants such as, but not limited to, varieties of Gymnemia, turmeric, Boswellia, Guarana, cherry, lettuce, Echinacea, piper betel leaf, Areca catechu, Muira puama, ginger, willow, suma, kava, horny goat weed, Ginkgo biloba, mate, garlic, puncture vine, arctic root Astragalus, eucommia, gastropodia, and uncaria, or pharmaceutical or nutraceutical agents.

Over reaction to the Wells Notice
A Wells Notice was posted at the Z site yesterday which stated that the SEC is questioned several Z officers and directors and very possibly civil charges will be fired.
This will increase some costs, but this was not unexpected and I feel the market is really over reacting to the filing. And some idiots actually think it's tied to Wells Fargo.
