Agree, very doubtful on tiles. Also, buyer for SDI items, would be different than buyer for hardware, like gennies. I'm still of the opinion that the little propane tigers are the item that will surprise us all.
Its tough to sell anything to Walmart. There is a constant parade of venders, line up to see buyers every day at Bentonville. Any foot in the door is bound to be good.
Not only have I seen these in stores , but I bought about a half dozen of the reading lites for xmas gifts two years ago. I think it was at one of the big book stores, but I have seen them since at Walmart, and toys are us.
Here, Here. All news from here on out will be positive. I'm no chartist, but to me the chart looks pretty good. Ready for blastoff.
Won't be long until all eyes are on us like happening with QBIT today, I hope. a million a minute, cept goin the wrong way.
understand. I have no doubt an acquisition is about to happen, and I agree with you there, but I have a feeling that the impact of the propane
generators is underestimated. The UL approval is imminent
and these would not be presold, but marketed, requiring some initial investment in inventory. Hate to sound like a broken record, but propane is the future for gennies and I think you guys are forgetting the potential market for these little boogers. Also, If you were Dato, would you take the cash, or shares, no brainer at this point in time. He'd opt for stock. Lastly, in response to one of you posts elsewhere, I respectfully correct you regarding the weight of our tiles. they are less than 5.5 lbs dry which makes them lighter and stronger than the competition.Keep up the good work, folkie

circlegridder..could you email me when you get a chance, folkie51@yahoo.com? can't pm you cause I'm too cheap.
Love will set you free, but Howard will give you travelin' money.
for general working capital, INVENTORY , acquisitions, or business development. IMO inventory means big initial orders . Also , CPS bought 20 trucks, how mny will cps miami need? Even if they buy the other 49% of cps, they still need equipment. The money is going back into the company at a low interest rate... things are about to pop.
The key to the puzzle is................Bill Dato.
My hopes and dreams,... ok. I see those little tiger generators selling like hotcakes especially after UL approval. They will sell fine without it. But I see really big revenue once the big chains take them on, and they will. It looks just like a Honda, and you know its going to sell for a lot less , probably less than anything on the market.Everyone can afford one. People that have never seen a hurricane will want one just for safety. They are cash and carry, no installation required,no big warehousing required, drop-shipped to retail dist ctrs, by the container. Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, Sears, . OBS exclusive, importer/distr our name on them , why, As much money as CPS will make in 3 counties, is nothing compared to what those little tigers will do in 50 states, Canada, and Mexico. Yep, my hopes and dreams. You want speculation? you got it. folkie
Not all who wander are lost.
circle, I guess you haave a point there. But I have given up trying to read Howard's mind. Its enough that I trust him, I just don't get my bowels in an uproar anymore.
Yep, me too. Methinks too much speculation.
chdt news subsidiary confirmed to open branch in Miami.
hope you all and chdt have a good day. Gotta go to work and sweet-talk burned-out penny players into annuities. folkie returning to his hole.
"Not all who wander are lost."
The reason we don't hear about SDI, is that it is such a small percentage of revenue. From S&P:
"In 2006 into 2007, the company will focus on expanding the building supplies business of its OBS subsidiary and the power generation distribution business of majority owned CPS beyond its current South Florida market to the Southeast and Gulf Coast regions. The company believes that its access to Chinese manufacturers and the perceived demand for standby power generators and building supplies in storm damaged regions of the Southeast and Gulf Coast will be key to its expansion into additional markets"
When we see the pr's start coming over S&P market access, instead of market wire or us equity news, we will be rockin.
peace to you all, have a good eve. and remember "Not all who wander are lost" back in my hole.
Agree, the pr was not for us , but I think the action was. We were begging for prs, news, anything, and I think this was a positive way of throwing us a bone and sending a message . Taking 20 mil out of pool is not going to make a signifigant
change, yet but its a start.
Sentinel , I do agree with you. Its just that the word "aquistions" created quite a buzz. I guess the point I was trying to make was that we really don't know what is going on and Howard will tell us when he is ready. I'm sure that he is very aware of our expectations but recalling how mad he was over the pumping and shorting a few months ago, I imagine that he is being very careful about what he says. He already said tht he wants this company and the stock to make it on its own merits. He probably could care less about mms and daytraders as his plan comes together, but I think what he did today was send us, the stockholders a message. It was a gesture, for our benefit, one has to be blind not to see it. get ready.
sorry, didn't realize my mssg was cut short.
Hi scarecrow, seems everybody's talking about acquisitions, everything fm propane terminals, to the other 49% of OBS. Also a lot of speculation about a container of generators or a container of tile. Isn't it possible that the 2.5 is for
INVENTORY, since all is prepaid, could be that not one container of tile, but 20 or 30? not 1 container of gennies, but 3 or 4? I honestly don't know, but we have all been second guessing Howard, since the pr's slowed down. I think he would love to tell us all what is going on , but is treading very carefully. crossing the t's and dotting the i's. Back to my hole now.

all 8 of my pennies were red today. Dog days of summer?
When I did it, weight was not a factor in pricing, as long as it was legal for U.S. roads
burp, just for info, monier lifetile 1 piece=9 lbs and change. chdt tile= 5 lbs and change. (same dade noa). This is a good thing. Also, 3 years ago I shipped a 40' container of used motorcycle parts from Long Beach to Ho Chi Minh city, for about $1600 us. (a one-shot deal) Probably more to china but volume plays a factor.
and added.
A lot of us are still out there just watching, waiting, lurking....just don't have much to say and for sure don't feel its necessary to engage the bashers . I guess if we vented our true feelings , we'd just be labled pumpers so we just quietly wait it out, and watch the chart climb slowly and laugh all the way to the bank. Chdt is our "Chrismas club".and we have added, and added , and added, and added.
regarding tiles for new construction.. I believe he said new construction or new roofs. As the owner of a tile roof, if you suffer damage to an existing tile roof, you will have a hard time matching the color due to age, mildew, and fading, thus many people opt for new roof. not just new construction only. Also, I got into this company on generator sales, before tile was even discussed. This company is rockin and rolling, doin exactlly what they said they would do. This will be my last post for a while since i am tired of all the bashing, and arguing goin on on this board. I am long and will check in fm time to time, but feel comfortable in my investment. glta
good morning King, how is the weather down there. You have a boat in the water?
