That's funny, you should update your DD...
Some of those "eyes" on BLDV just could be from the DOE.
This one is similar and could do even better. If you haven't noticed, there are still a lot of "eyes" on BLDV!
All the more reason to be optimistic!
Do you have a link to support this opinion?
Stay tuned for news on BLDV as I know you will...
Oilcan61,
Apparently, you don't understand. I am not looking to bail out, I happen to have patience regarding this investment.
Fyi, I'm not a pumper and have no intentions to pump. I simply believe in this company and am confident that I will be rewarded in due time.
Don't judge to early on BLDV...
After reading all the posts, it seems to be only a negative pump. There does not need to be SO much concern for the investors here. We will be just FINE!
Don't you find it intriquing that CEH has not found a partner other than BLDV...
Bal,
Looks like the funds will be trickling down...
Looks like another "spot-on" prediction!
Personally, I still believe in this company. Apparently, many do not as we are constantly reminded...
Earnie,
Maybe they (BLDV) took your advice...

Also, how can it be "jmo" if you actually spoke with someone?
Personally, I don't think that most longs have sold their position. Most longs are frustrated and choose not to post here because there's more negative than postive here...
As for BLDV, I am disappointed. But then, I started thinking the what if...
What if JQM has not closed the CEH deal because he's waiting for funds from the stimulus package...I am pretty sure that there are no banks that could beat any deal from the Government...
Why is it CEH has not found another partner? Perhaps, it's because they are convinced that BLDV is in line for funds...Call it politics or wishful thinking, one must have an OPEN mind.
You are right. However, it would be hard to verify if they are incorporated in Belize. Either AABE or JQM is waiting for funding or this is a bad investment. Personally, I believe that they are waiting for some funding (which I believe they will get)...
The dots are starting to connect here! FASTEN YOUR BELTS...
I wonder which way the investigations will turn...

I strongly disagree! This is a small company trying to establish themselves in alternative energy. It may be over for the traders but not the investors.
So, in other words, the "grapevine" is "just your opinion"...
Nope, not claiming, it's just reality on 90+% of the stocks in PinkyLand...
Oh, and Jatropha hasn't been growing for years? I have a hunch that you may soon witness the SEC's first crackdown on "abusive short selling"!
BLDV must really be ahead of the game, they are bringing in a cheaper feedstock and producing the fuel here...
The math works well with the last PR!
The Honorable Alemayehu
Tegenu, Minister of Mines & Energy,
Research Energy Production,
for the Republic of Ethiopia gave a
presentation on energy issues in the
country. Since 1991, the economic
reform strategy was to improve
productivity in Ethiopia. In May
1994, a national energy policy was
created that included capacity reform,
exploration, industrial development,
universal electric access
and renewables such as biofuels,
solar and hydroelectricity. With
70% of the land licensed, Ethiopia
hopes to find oil in its country very
soon. Another 4 million hectares of
land is invested for biofuel planting
technology.
Nice find, it fits VERY WELL with this! Please note, JQM was in attendance along with other attendees at this AABE Roundtable Meeting on 9/25/2008.

Africa Energy Roundtable: Addressing Africa’s Energy Challenges
On Thursday, September 25th, the
organization convened an Energy
Roundtable as part of the Constituency
for Africa’s (CFA) 4th Annual
Ronald H. Brown African Affairs
Series. This Roundtable, entitled
“Addressing Africa’s Energy Challenges:
The Role of the African Diaspora,â€
brought together high-level officials
from the US, African governments,
and representatives from various
sectors for a meaningful discussion
on US-Africa energy development. It
also identified how the African-
American community can and
should positively impact this issue
and create business opportunities
for US and African businesses and
women-owned firms.
Invited guest speakers included the
Honorable Katharine A.
Fredriksen, Acting Assistant Secretary
for the Office of Policy & International
Affairs for the Department
of Energy (DOE). Assistant-
Secretary Fredriksen established
how important it was to maintain
this dialogue to encourage development
of attractive transparent markets
between the AABE organization,
Africa, public and private sectors.
She also mentioned that the
DOE will continue their partnership
through the AABE Training Institute
Initiative.

George L. Person, Jr., DOE Director
for the Office of African &
Middle Eastern Affairs, Subramaniam
V. Iyer, African Region Energy
Group Manager for the World
Bank, and two representatives from
the nations of Tanzania and Nigeria.
The panel’s moderator was Luddy
Hayden, Director of the AABE
Training Institute. Luddy asked the
panel several questions including:
(1) How would you rank your energy
needs for transportation fuel,
rural/domestic fuel and power for
industrial development?; (2) What is
the role of the African Union and
regional economic development in
Africa?; (3) Do the energy rich nations
of Africa have any role or
responsibility in developing other
countries?; (4) How do you think
the US government can help with
energy development in Africa?; (5)
How would you ask the next US
Administration to support energy
development in Africa?; and (6)
How can we help fund development
in Africa? Responses to these questions
included increasing response
times, dedicating resources to look
at the natural markets and increase
trade amongst African countries.
The panel expressed a need to get
all the African countries engaged in
dialogue. Priorities depend on the
economic situation of each country.
They should unblock political issues
to establish pipelines, increase
transportation, and share best practices.
More support from African-
Americans and the commercial
business sector was expressed.
The Roundtable included remarks
by AABE President & COO Frank
Stewart, AABE National Chair
Carolyn Green and Melvin
Foote, President of the CFA. John
Q. Moaning, CEO of Blue Diamond

I strongly disagree. My bet is that BLDV is paying for the current refitting and increased production work which is being completed. Once this is complete, they will deduct that expense from the agreed purchase price and close the deal!
You guys think there aren't any m/m games being played right now...this trade is listed as a 500,000 sell!
2/13/2009 11:46:42 AM ET BLDV BUY 200000 BLDV @ $0.0008 Completed Executed
Keep doing your DD...
That's your opinion. Mine is quite different, an emerging company in alternative energy with an African American CEO. This looks very promising to me!
Salty,
Couldn't get any shares at ask, they let the order expire.
LOOK OUT ... BELOW !!!!!
This new mantra must mean that BLDV is going to skyrocket!

Pollock biodiesel plant ownership returns to Central Louisiana
Bringing it home
By Tom Bonnette • tbonnette@thetowntalk.com • September 18, 2008
POLLOCK -- Ownership of Vanguard Synfuels LLC, which operates the state's lone biodiesel plant, has returned home with plans to make Central Louisiana a production and distribution hub.
California-based Allegro Biodiesel Corp., Vanguard's parent company, last week sold the biodiesel plant in Pollock and related assets to Consolidated Energy Holdings LLC, a company composed of Vanguard's original investors, created to assume control of the facility.
The company, which was forced to cease production last year after soybean oil used for diesel production rose to more than 70 cents per gallon in the wake of an ethanol boom, was bought for $1,000, with CEH assuming approximately $3.5 million in debt.
Now that soybean prices have come down, CEH executives are ready to resume fuel production in Pollock.
They also are working on retooling the plant so volatility in Louisiana 's agriculture market won't again force a shutdown.
"The plant is able to do 12 million gallons a year now. We can get easily to 24 million. What we are looking at is how much it would cost us to get to about 30 million," said Darrell Dubroc.
He and Tim Collins are executives of CEH and former officers and directors of Allegro. They resigned from Allegro following the sale.
On Wednesday, the Pollock plant was being surveyed by engineers to determine how production could be increased and how the facility could be revamped to produce biofuel from more than just soybean oil.
Executives are particularly interested in converting equipment so animal tallow, especially byproducts from poultry-processing plants, could be turned into fuel.
"I think the future of the biodiesel industry is either to use waste products or algae or other crops that are being developed for biofuel," said Wayne Pennewell with Florida-based Penn Pro Engineering & Technical Services.
As engineers toured the $15 million biodiesel plant, chemists are experimenting with a variety of new crops abundant in Louisiana , from algae to Chinese tallow trees, they hope to soon turn into fuel.
The plant has been searching for its place in Louisiana 's fledgling alternative fuel market since its start-up in 2003.
While potential competitors, including Arkansas-based poultry giant Tyson Foods which is working to develop a tallow biofuel plant near Shreveport, have been developing other biodiesel plants in the state, Central Louisiana is the only place in Louisiana where biodiesel has been produced on a large scale.
Last year, Allegro bought Lake Arthur-based Talen's Marine & Fuel for $42 million and signed a deal with the Alexandria Regional Port Authority to take over the land and facilities of Petron -- the oil company that was the port's oldest tenant -- with plans to turn Alexandria into an alternative fuel distribution hub.
CEH officials say the company is pushing ahead with those plans and should be online with production and port facilities by the end of the year.
Though the company has had trouble with the high cost of producing fuel, the market has always been good and remains strong, said plant supervisor Jerome Whiddon.
"We get calls every day from people who want to buy our biodiesel -- all they can get," Whiddon said.
Until last year's shutdown, the Avoyelles Parish School District , which has school buses, was one of Vanguard's biggest customers.
CEH officials said local governments, including the city of Alexandria , would be among the first doors knocked on when production resumes.

This list states that "no information" has been provided to pink sheets only. If it's a fraud, how do you feel about your certs?
One thing is apparent to both groups on BLDV.
tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...
You better have doggone get some updated photos.
I did not request a link...
It's my opinion that BLDV is not diluting so the PPS to raise capital is not applicable...
Furthermore, the plant is not mothballed. I believe it to be recently modified and updated!
Please provide proof that BLDV does not have the money to close.
You are correct. As a matter of fact, this is very minute point. There are a lot of Universities that have surpassed them in this field,,,
Please post the letter you sent or is this like the "red herring"?
Maybe this will help you out:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=35338325
Anyone can see what the current PPS is, but with what "business" is BLDV stepping forward.
Here's you quote which requests what business...
As has been reiterated many times here, why should BLDV provide you proof?
Yes, 2 1/2 year old press release. It's a good thing Moaning was wise enough to take his time, otherwise we would have a failing food-crop facility!
