Here is a rhetorical question, which one runs out first, bullets, or foot area to shoot ones self in?
Jagman, dont you know how it works? You create expenses and hire expert accountants to make it look like there is no profit. There were many years that many large corporations paid no income taxes. I think Hemi still has no debt so there is plenty of cash to pay for promotion and other things.
Not putting out prs saves time and money too. Smart business decision by Keith IMHO
"because he has nothing to say."
There is a big difference between this statement and "nothing good to say".
I think you are staking a lot of money on that answer as are others here.
Badge you really do not believe that, now do you, so why post it? If this was some scam pink sheet, it would be easy to put out a fluff pr just to give investors something to chew on, even if there was very little meat.
IF, Keith reads this board every now and then, and sees how much the silent treatment really riles up investors and then sees the nonsophisticated comments about his efforts to put the Hemi name out there, I hope he decides to maintain his silence into the new year or beyond.
Then the ones that cry and scream the loudest will obviously be flippers, the ones that chuckle will be longs. And anyone that sells would be a fool.
And whatever was paid it gets written off as an expense to the reduce the tax liability since Hemi is profitable.
So he should just call them up and say, "Hello, I own an up and coming domestic oil and gas company, do you want to interview me?"
I have never worked at a periodical or newspapers but I think it is the EDITORS who choose who they interview, you think?
It he told us what it cost the next complaint would be.
OH that is way too much. GIMMEE a break
excellent, stupendous, fantastic.
First people complain there are no Prs or information. Now we are going to be critical of Keith trying to get the Hemi story out to the masses. It is clear why Keith seems to refer to shareholders as, correct me if I am wrong, babies.
Thanks Real. Sounds a lot like the one PE spoke about. Last spot is prime I think, it is the last company viewers will see.
Of course not you Lowman. You hate basher/buyers as much as I do. We are all frustrated. I just start going through my DD again to remind myself why I liked Hemi in the first place.
All of us as longs should not do anything to create a climate of doubt, panic and worry, especially those who REALLY do not feel that way. It serves no positive purpose for Hemi, but only for those individuals who are trying to enhance their positions at the expense of others.
It also could be the decisive factor why someone, who might be ready to open a position, decides not to buy.
God knows we need some buying pressure here.
The silence from the company creates a vacuum. What we do with that vacuum, until we get more information, says a lot about each of us, and as a community of Hemi longs.
GLTY and all longs.
two points.
Anyone putting any weight based on a hit and run post that says "a little birdie told me" should not be invested in ANY pink stock. Sell and go buy some T bills or CDs.
Second the climate of doubt created by two longs the previous night and the next morning,who were acting like bashers, did nothing to enhance the knowledge of the board, but only used it as a way to vent frustration and for personal manipulation.
After the constant drumbeat of creating doubt, Hemi closed green. Those bash and buy tactics are sleazy, and I would think people smart enough to be long in this sector and this company would be better than that.
I am really looking forward to realperson's take on the Hemi broadcast.
WOW, with all the bashing last night and this morning, I would have expected a couple of large positions being liquidated. Where is all the dumping. The stock is so terrible, where is the selling, where is the selling????????
my crystal ball told me your little birdie did not know what he was chirping about and I confirmed it on my ouija board.
And today I have invited a gypsy friend over to read my palm and some tea leaves. We can never do too much research before posting info on a message board.
You never heard of T. Boone Chickens??????
Big Mur, very subtle point, well stated.
One more reason I am drunk on the Hemi Kool Aid as Jagman would surely attest to. GLAL
You are correct, they are not Exxon, Bp, etc, they are midlevel operators trying to find economical sources of energy. It is likely these mid level operators who will be purchasing hemi. We find the oil and gas and methane, they bid, we sell and retire, just like Keith, I hope. The biggest players are off shore and in other countries, they gave up on continental oil long ago. We will be fine. The demand for oil is not going anywhere soon.
Solar energy is nowhere near efficient, garnering a very small percent of potential energy possible to make it efficient. I promise to keep my breakthrough solar energy converter off of the market until Keith sells for big bucks. LOL GLTY
"and if there was real Big $$ in it..don't You think the "Big $$" would have bought them all Up??.."
With all Due respect, no. Operators in Kansas do not have so much money they can afford to buy up every available lease and then work them until they pay for themselves.
The excellent advantage Keith has is the archive. He knows what is worth leasing, or can surmise it. This minimizes risk and makes every lease almost guaranteed to be profitable.
Think about what other companies face, limited public information about the geology of the area or the cost of producing the reports themselves. Keith really is holding a hand of aces.
I have been thinking that when the news starts gathering momentum in its release, before the big stick is brought into play, at what point do we get an updated reserves report?
After all, the previous, nice, reserves report was made before we quintupled our holdings in Kansas alone. GLTAL
Sounds great to me. But what PE described was like an infomercial, which cnn does not do, as far as I know. Now if they want to do a story on Hemi, or have one in the can like WBR did, fantastic. The more we are out there, the more buyers, because once people start looking at hemi, the story just gets better and better. GLAL
Good ball park figure whenever we get production numbers.
Another thing in the eia document no one bothered to comment on was the coal bed methane being more economically recoverable, according to them. That is one more thing in our favor when it comes time for Keith to sell Hemi.
Massive Volume LOL
MMs must be fanning through open books and ringing phones off the hook to find shares to sell. LOL
Now just the slightest buying pressure and...
Cert drive appears to be drying up the float.
Probably NSS has ceased at this point as well.
MMs dampened trading over the past few months, along with Keith in silent mode. At least we know that he is still building hemi up on the ground on a daily basis.
When all is said and done, looking for a better run than last time. GLTAL
Nice, you may very well be correct. I believe the other gave a statewide average. The higher it is the better for hemi and us. Thanks.
EIA info on Kansas. According to this any oil sold by hemi was fetching $73 bbl in Sept. Should not be much lower than that today.

Previously Lowman had asked for information regarding federal policies on domestic oil. Here is one in an interesting historical article, which also shows why OPEC emerged and how the US became dependent on foreign oil.
"This situation began to shift in the late 1950s. The Eisenhower Administration implemented quotas on the import of crude oil. Quotas—that determined only a specified amount of oil could be imported from outside the country—were designed to protect the sale of domestic oil. Established in 1959, such quotas would infuriate global oil-producing countries throughout the 1960s."
This led to the formation of OPEC.
Then came Nixon to abolish the import quotas.
"Such reliance on fuel forced the U.S. Federal government to consistently question energy-related policies. In 1969, the administration of President Richard Nixon renewed debate over the quota program. In April 1973, President Nixon delivered the first-ever Presidential address on energy, in which he announced his decision to abolish the quota system, then-capping the import of crude oil into America. Without the import barriers, the United States was a full-fledged, though very dependent, member of the world oil market; by the summer of 1973, American imports of petroleum had doubled."
Demand for oil was exploding so there may have been little choice, but isnt that where we are now with India and China economic and industrial growth going at a double digit pace?

To be more specific, I should have stated net oil exporter.
Today, sadly, we are a net oil importer while billions of bbls of oil are still in our soil.
Here is one of our friends from Knight (NITE) talking about investor confidence.
"The poor judgment of a few has had a ripple effect on the whole economy," said Ernest Csak, vice president at Knight Equity Markets in Jersey City, New Jersey. "If they can stem the bleeding and restore investor confidence, that will be good for the market."
I might add, and yes, if your company stop selling naked short shares and manipulating the market, that would help even more.

Back to your original point about being addicted to Middle East and world oil, the US used to be an oil exporter prior to WW2. It was the cutoff of Japan's supply when they attacked China, that many historians now believe forced them to attack us when they did. Their military machine and society was doomed without their oil supply so they needed to control the pacific region for the limited oil that was there.
Perhaps MMs realize that selling more airshares just digs their hole that much deeper. I am sure no longs, or even flippers with even a little sense are not selling. Hemi has multibagger written all over it.
Are you sure there will be a national airing? Seems this type of promotion is regional. Certainly the more parts of the nation see it the better.
I would go after more affluent and better educated markets who have the investment potential and the insight about the value of domestic oil. GLAL
Actually Lowman it was recently discovered that the passage about the 72 virgins to be met in the afterlife was mistranslated. It really was "72 Virginians". :D
But Jagman has PROUDLY stated he never DDs any pinkie stock.
And btw I saw the sentiment, as a teacher/tutor just did not want to mention it publicly since I have no pm.
GLTY
OH MY GOD, somebody pinch me.
Jagman doing some DD. LOL
I think as long as our interests are tied to Keith's, we will be fine. As long as he remains the largest shareholder and shuns actual dilution (not some of the ridiculous basher definitions) and debt and does not increase the AS, we will be fine.
Keith is smart enough to know that any real dilution impacts him more than any individual shareholder. This will always remain an incentive for him to keep AS, and OS as small as possible. This is a very compelling reason, to me at least, to be invested in HEMI.
Lowman, I am all for promotion, even if we have to pay a small price for it. The product, HEMI, is outstanding. It basically sells itself once an investor begins DDing it.
Let me tell you a story.
My Aunt owned a house in Maine and was moving to Mass. Because the house did not sell quickly , she sold some stock to buy a house in Mass, later sold her house in Maine. We met in 2001 in Augusta, Maine, btw I went through Logan airpost in Boston exactly one week before the hijackers on Sept 4,2001, and she convinced me I needed to invest in stocks. The plan was to go in on Nov 1 since October is notoriously harsh. But after 9/11 there were so many bargains I went in on 9/28. I made money on CSCo, Lucent, rtn, sun and others.
When I told her about HEMI, she spoke with her brother, a doctor, who is very knowledgable about stocks. He DDed it and bought immediately then had her buy.
The point is, once any smart investor starts looking into hemi, the story just gets better and better.
So I am all for promotion, even if we have to pay for it. The more investors the better, because they will not be flippers but will be longs.
Lowman, I do not know if I am naive or not, but I really just look at AS. With Keith holding the largest position of stock that is what matters. If he uses all of the rest of the AS to grow hemi and get leases, equipment or anything, I know he is working in his own best interest, which means our best interest as longs. At some point the AS may be exhausted, but when they are, hemi will be very powerful based on the unique info Keith has and his experience.
I realize that OS is a concern for many. Most of the new leases are being purchased with restricted shares. It is the size of the float that really matters in terms of a short squeeze. Many investors believe with OS increasing, float is increasing. If most of the new OS are going to leases or equipment and are restricted, the float is relatively the same.
Good point to ask Keith, the float and restricted shares the next time you speak. That way there will not be 50 individual investors bugging him. GLTY

I saw the TV spot this morning on KJZZ.
I had to pick it up over the air since I don't have cable and it was a little fuzzy. It wasn't the WBR spot as some have reasonably wondered. It was a new, shorter piece with some guy name Wayne. :) It looked like a half hour show with pieces on a number of different companies. I didn't catch the name of the show and Hemi didn't show up until about 20 minutes into it.
It was an interview with Keith interspersed with video clips and stills of Hemi operations. It was nicely done, though obviously a paid programming piece. They discussed the concepts of EOR on mature fields where new technology can get to the rest of the oil that was previously unrecoverable. As in the other interview, they talked about the ever-present need for oil going forward despite alternate energy sources. They also focused on Hemi's presence in rural, small towns 'where the oil is', Hemi's efforts at remediation and it's good relationship with the landowners.
Over all there was nothing new, but it was the kind of piece that would make someone who hadn't considered it before, stop and realize that oil would be a smart investment right now, and presented Hemi as a domestic, environmentally friendly way to do that.
Keith did a good job and kept it low key. I'm probably exaggerating this, but at the end of the spot before Hemi, the guy seem to practically be begging for new investors/money, i.e. "nows the perfect time to invest in ...". Keith didn't get into any of that, just painted a good picture of who Hemi is and what Hemi does.
duelittle2 you are one of the few dozen or so owners of hemi that was here before me. Frankly, I would be interested in YOUR summary of Hemi in 2007 and outlook in 2008.
Your statement about shares for leases being accretive acquisitions and not dilution was an outstanding anaylsis IMO and I agree completely.
Thanks PE. The more people learn about hemi and, hopefully, start DDing it, the better. Even someone who watched this and catches a future press release might be stimulated into looking into hmgp.
Lowman, I would have thought Keith might have mentioned something to you in your recent conversations about anything promoting Hemi. Is this something he was unaware of, do you think or is this the return of Wilshire. I guess if someone has a chance to see it we will all know. In any case, the more people that learn about Hemi the better for all of us, and them.
Appears to be a paid program from somebody. Maybe the world business review piece, maybe some larger entity. I think I have it right.
