If someone has the money, they can buy the product. BEHL's product or any other product. If they can fulfill the requirements that BEHL has for being a VAR, then they sould be a VAR.
Preach it brother. Wanna to see the whining stop. BEHL is a get rich stock, but not a get-rich-tomorrow stock.
I agree that an LLC is not a magic bullet to save on taxes, but properly used can help there.
Not sure of the details, but it probably is.
Yes, any stocks held for more than 1 year before selling are taxed at the 18% rate. BTW, this rate will revert to 20% in 2010--Obama has said he wants the 20% rate sooner. Any gains from stocks held less than a year before selling are taxed at the ordinary income tax rate.
If you hold a lot of the stock, you might consider creating a LLC and hold the stocks there. You may see some reductions in taxes.
As I understand it, your note is correct IF you have held the shares for more than 1 year. If held for a shorter time, then the income is treated as if it was earned income.
Thanks for the overview. You deserve a special place in BEHL heaven. Seeing this all in one place should help the share price :)
There is little in our world that will teach us patience. Most of the time any whim can be satisfied in a short time. Major problems are solved on TV in 30-60 minutes (with 25% of the time taken out for commercials).
In the real world it isn't like that. Business takes time. Fisher is a great CEO and cheerleader. One could argue whether or not some PRs were released before their time. Perhaps they were, or he could have felt that the PRed item was closer than it actually turned out to be.
Business takes time. In my work it generally takes twice as long as the most pessimistic estimate to reach any milestone. Give them time. If you can't wait, then sell.
Business takes time. Since this group owns a large fraction of the float, I'm afraid than negative sentiment can pull down share prices.
I agree that BEHL needs to issue a good PR ASAP. the operative word here is good. I see several problems with recent PRs:
1) Information dense--they have too much in one PR. Spread the content over several PRs. Expand as much as possible on each item.
2) BEHL needs investor visibility. Issue PRs more often. Examples, SPNG PRs nearly everything except the CEO restroom stops as does RZ (they also even issue PRs over the week end).
3) Don't give PRs on Friday afternoon--unless it is bad news. If bad news, then the later the PR, the better. Most readers will forget by Monday.
4) Writing style needs to improve. Unless you are already a BEHLiever, there is not much compelling to read them. Get the non-BEHLiever excited.
I'm relatively new to buying pink stocks. It has been quite a ride since I made my first purchase in late April (500K at .0011).
What I am struggling to understand now is the behavior of the MMs. They didn't really seem to come into play until a month or so ago. I come to two possible conclusions: 1) They make more profits destroying companies than they do selling stock or 2) they understand the potential of BEHL and want to shake the trees for as long as they can accumulate more shares.
Am I missing something? Is there another possibility? Which do you think is more likely?
I have been trying to get an order for 100K filled for two days at .065. No go yet. With the volume (low but much more than 100K) it seems strange. My previous purchases of BEHL were generally filled within seconds.
Any ideas? Are the MMs accumulating? Are these sales and low prices actually wash sales? Are others having problems getting orders filled?
There is a balance between the need do your own DD and potential damage to the company (BEHL) for too many stock holders to call the customers.
I am a former investor in another pink that had a lot of potential. Stockholders kept calling customers asking about the products. The process frightened the customers away and, as word got around, kept more customers away. Because of this the CEO posted fewer and fewer PRs. As the PRs were coming less often, the stockholders became more and more distrusting of the CEO. The value of the stock plummeted. By the time I bailed out, I took a loss of more than 10K and the stock value continued to drop long after I left.
Please, PLEASE don't do the same to BEHL. Call Dale, or Dennis. Ask for more identifiable info about the VAR. Please don't call the new VAR. It could jeopardize the relationship of BEHL with this VAR as well as the next VARs who are waiting to sign up. These guys need to be selling PBRs not wasting time answering questions from hundreds of BEHL shareholders. Our profit from the shares depends on multiple VARs selling product. If no one is selling product, then we all lose.
Good try!! That is a fair price, but not in my definition of CHEAP!
Thanks for the chart, fastfish720. I'm looking at the patterns of trading there. I am encouraged by a couple of things.
1) Just by looking at the daily candles, I make an interesting observation. From peak price candle at the end on a run to the beginning of the next run, there are 12-14 candles showing consolidation on the chart. That is repeated 2-3 times. From the most recent peak there are 13 candles. If the pattern holds, there should be a run beginning soon.
2) Sentiment here is getting bad. Even some who I thought were strong longs seem to be getting bearish thoughts--or at least down-in-the-mouth. If you have been investing very long, you know that investor fear becomes the greatest just before the end of the tunnel. Human nature seems to be complacent when we should worry and be fearful when there is little reason for the fear.
Mr. Fisher has a very strong track record of coming through for us. Just because he is not releasing a PR on our schedule doesn't mean he won't come through.
BTW, if any of you down-in-the-mouth posters want to dump your shares cheaply, Let's Make a Deal.
If I recall correctly, this tubing was used to do a quick and dirty "proof of concept" for the PBR. I don't think you could sell a PBR with tubing that would need repairs so quickly. For a 100 acre PBR, you would need someone working full time with a roll of duct tape.
I tried to check with some of the older PRs, but they have expired on Yahoo (and the iBox). I didn't save a local copy of them--wish I had. In any case, I believe that the final version of the tubing is a part of the "patent pending" stuff being fabricated in China.
I think I recall that the same tubing will be used with the custom 180s for the Version 2 PBR, then I believe a version 3 is planned using the custom tubing and 180s.
If anyone has easy access to the older PRs, please check my memory.
I want to add my comments to the love fest here for Derek. Thanks Man!! Helps to keep us in focus with our investment.
I don't know if my share count is carried from the earlier list, but I hold 1,282,500 shares long. Hoping to add a few more as I can afford to do so. Planning to make my retirement better.
This week I have placed several small orders for BEHL stock. Usually the orders were very slow to fill. For example, I placed an order yesterday for 40K shares at .059. Watched for 90 minutes while several million shares were sold at or below my bid. Finally, over a period of 5 minutes or so, the order was filed in small bits. Is some (or much) of the high volume this week wash sales? Is it possible to see a pattern of wash sales on level 2? IF not, is there some other way to see them?
Not very much. Mostly a poorly done rehash of some of BEHL's PRs and charts.
Seems they should be removed from the business--this is not the first time they have messed with a stock like this.
On the back page of the Skymark report is a disclaimer stating that "Joe Anthony Padilla of Scottsdale Capital Advisors has no input into the content of this report."
Seems rather unusual for a "research report" to have this sort of disclaimer. Who is this Padilla person?
.25 week
.70 month
2.00 year
Good PR news could make any or all of these waaaay low.
If these numbers happen, I will join the millionaire club and be debt free by early next month.
Has anybody actually read the lawsuits? Are they available free somewhere? I see a lot of strong reactions here. Probably coming from the frustrations of a investment that is declining in value. Without actually reading the lawsuits, these comments are only based on assumptions.
If anyone has the lawsuits, Please post them, or post a link so we may read them. I want to know both sides before accusing anyone of incompetence.
TIA.
One can get very technical very quickly, but there are several proceses at work here with varying levels of CO2 and oxygen in water with algae growth. First is simply the levels of the two gasses dissolved in the water. The water in a pond or PBR will have higher levels of oxygen during the day and lower levels of oxyten at night. This is because of the way aquatic plants work. I don't think the levels of CO2 change as rapidly as the oxygen.
During the day sunlight works with the first steps of photosynthesis to split oxygen from the water--which is released as oxygen gas. The hydrogens from the water to carry chemical energy to the second stage of photosynthesis which is where CO2 reacts forming glucose, oil, etc.
Oxygen is produced only when there is light shining on the plants--during the day. CO2 is consumed any time whether light is present or not.
Thanks. I am holding long too. Only a few go out the door around .05.
I think I was Number 200. My prize: make BEHL share price hit .05 right away!!
I must be out of the loop too much. I didn't know about a CC. Did I miss a PR? Is the CC archived somewhere? I would really like to listed to it. TIA
You can document this as a fact--or is it your conjecture? Links please.
Bring it on!! There are some of us here--me, for example--that would like to increase our holdings at prices last seen several weeks ago.
I'm watching and hoping for a big share dump from somewhere--I have a some of dry powder ready. The company has a very solid future so a short term price decline is OK with me.
HOW MANY SHARES DO WE OWN?
This post is to find out how many shares do we really own. Please answer the post by copying it and pasting it with your numbers, this is voluntary, no one is forced to do this.
18,000,000 Pilot
13,000,000 the old dog that won't post.
8,000.000 Quinn
7,000,000 Crackaboy BMP 16,714,659
127,000 DocDiggler(Don't laugh, doubling up next week hopefully)
2,500,000 until next PR, then x3
1,250,000 Seedseller--unfortunately out of dry powder.
Me, too. Also needs to be recorded and archived for those who could not listen live.
Just submitted a small order at the .007 ask. Was filled in about 20 seconds at .0061.
WOW!! This is so cool! I just spent an hour or so looking over the last couple of weeks messages on this board. Makes me wish I had time to go back to graduate school. It would make a great study in group psychology.
Scenario--a small cadre of bashers manage to convince the group, on no news, that the ceo of company is lying and is dishonest. Are the bashers working alone? Hard to believe they are so effective without a coordinated plan of attack. One result is that some on this board have even become so unbalanced as to send physical threats to the CEO. Potential for a CLASSIC mass psychology study.
BTW, with another company here on the boards, there are about 275 shareholders (according to pinksheets.com). Just over 200 people read that board and are impacted by the discussion there. Pushers can (and do) raise the share price; bashers can (and do) reduce it. One can plot the bashing/pumping ratio vs. share price and see a clear relationship.
I don't know how many shareholders there are in EESO. That is not a part of the information on pinksheets.com. But this board gets a lot more traffic than the one I just referred to. Bashing here has increased rapidly in the last couple of weeks and the share price is diving. The bashers are GOOD and have overwhelmed the pumpers. I can't wait to see how this plays out.
Keep up the chatter as I have forwarded the idea to a couple of psychological research friends who might have an interest in doing the study.
Note to bashers: you should take this campaign to your employer--you deserve a big raise.
I assume that means the names of shareholders as recorded by the TA.
According to the pinksheets.com website, there are 149 shareholders of record as of 12 May 2009.
Jared's first duty is to build value in the company. That is what he genuinely owes shareholders. As value increases, then long shareholders will be rewarded. I bought this pink stock because I saw potential. I do realize however, that buying pink is speculation. I could lose all of my investment. Or I could have a mega-bagger.
A buyout at 0.20 or 0.50 or 2.00 would be nice in the short term. If the company could be built to $5.00/share in a reasonable amount of time, then I am all for waiting. I've got a few years of building my own business before I will be ready to retire :).
I do agree that Jared will need to be very detailed in helping longs to understand why any genuine buyout offer is rejected. I really don't care what traders think. I want to maximize my return--not necessarily make a quick buck today.
I am a long here in EESO. I find the bashers and pushers equally irritating. Neither group has much more substance than the other. Please if you must bash, then give some hard data or references to your data so I can consider the points you make. If you must push, then likewise give me some hard data or references so I can consider the points.
Without any hard data, then your bash or push is mere speculation or worse. I don't have the time to pay much attention to speculation. I am interested in anything that can provide more information for my DD. My goal, like most of you, is to see the value of my portfolio increase.
IReeso, please keep up providing the information. I belong to what I think may be a "silent majority" who appreciate what you are doing. Transparency, and not speed is very important. Today's PR said you are trying. Grab your flame resistant underwear, develop your DELETE key technique, and keep the info comint. I have far fewer EESO shares than I would like, but I eagerly await the PRs promised. Like many here, I want to see some green, but in a timely way.
