Hey, Guys.

A friend turned me on to DGDM. I think it's got some potential for growth. Maanagement team appears to be solid.

Unfortunately, no dry powder at the moment, but when some $ free up....

richard, not too freakin long, I hope!

I'm thinkin a fifth of scotch and a small can of salted cashews will be enough for me.

Petey's sittin on my shoulder smokin a Jamaican Seed Treat fatty.

Immanent! Inniment! Indiment! Awww, Geez! Things are looking pretty good! It's "Here honey, can you feel the baby kicking" time.

Go Axis!

So, Herr Doctor Evil, how much is your Axis portfolio worth?

Nothing!!??

I thought so...

I will not look at my current portfolio value...

I will not look at my current portfolio value...

I will not look at my current portfolio value...

"Cry me a River" Play it again, Sam.

LOLOL Comatose! OK folks you heard it here direct from the Evil doctor's mouth. We are comatose. Sorry, DR E. That will have to be a 2011 category award.

Anyway...Dr E, have you missed us so much that you were driven to return to the scene of your unrelenting negativity.

Your little Piggy friend is back on Stockhouse, too. Why is it that you wieners keep showing up? Although I do consider you a higher grade wiener than the pork parts wieners that "little pig" pushes. He's the little piggy that cries "wee, wee, wee" all the way home.

Dr. Evil, I suspect we have converted you! I believe you've bought a boatload of Axis stock. It's OK. We understand. You're just not ready to come out of the closet yet. LOL

Scardee, I'm glad you asked. Let me run down several of the more famous awards.

"DayDreamer Trophy" This gorgeous statuette is reminiscent of an Oscar. Instead of Oscar it consists of a green Leprechaun figurine affectionally called "Paddy". The trophy is sponsored by General Mills, makers of Lucky Charms cereal. The "Paddy" is engraved with the words "Thanks, Dr. Evil, I'm no longer a Dumbass Axis Daydreamer"

"Pig in a Poke" for Lifetime Achievement. This award recognizes the Axis iHub Board member, past or present who has identified the largest number of Axis posters as actually being Glenn Little. Rumors are rampant that there's only one person with the stones to win this award.

"Karnak The Magnificent Turban" Competition is open to the entire Axis family. This beautiful jewel-encrusted turban is awarded to that person who has made the largest number of consistently wrong announcement predictions.

"Shokri Whispers Medallion" Competition is again open to the entire Axis community. This coveted neck medallion engraved wih an ear and pair of lips is awarded to that person responsible for starting the largest number of outlandish Axis rumors. Voting is open to the entire Axis investing community. Interestingly, the eventual accuracy of the rumor is not considered to be an important factor.

Why does anyone else have to post? You provide enough detailed running commentary for any other 6 posters. What you lack in detailed news, you make up in sheer volume. lol I'm submitting your name for consideration of the coveted 2009 Axis "Blather Award". 300 posts in less than 6 months!! Awesome!! lol

Nah, I don't think any of the longs have been run off. Weak hands come and go.

One of my indicators is the number of boardmarks. We have been at 29 for at least 6 months. The number has fluctuated from 26 - 31 for more than two years.

We hard-core longs are just hunkered down and waiting. We know it's not "if", it's "when". It's NOT lack of interest, it's the lack of anything meaningful to discuss. Don't forget, many of us old-timers have been hanging out on this street corner for a few years.

I'm somewhat hopeful that new developments are imminent. Petey sends warm regards to all.

So, what's happening? Here is my current view of the world of Axis...

Is everything OK? Yes.

Am I still a believer? Absolutely! Yes!

Am I disappointed we haven't had an announcement? OH YEAHHHH!

Have I sold any Axis? No.

Am I currently buying Axis? No. I have a boatload. But I reserve the right to revisit that decision if I see a buying opportunity I can't pass up.

What's my plan? 1. Buy more as soon as the announcement is apparent. 2. Exhaust my dry powder. 3. Enjoy the runup to some as yet undetermined multiple.

Do I believe we are close? Yes.

What's holding things up? I really don't know. It's up to the NOC. The announcement will come when the NOC decides to make it.

Why is the stock price drifting down? Two reasons. Fist and foremost, lack of news. Second, some are selling before the end of the year for tax purposes. That strategy pretty much ends today.

Petey and I want to wish everyone a very happy and prosperous New Year! Please don't drink and drive tonight. You've waited this long, damn it, you deserve to be around for the best part.

Scardee, Petey has been getting electroshock therapy for a couple of weeks; it doesn't seem to be doing much except singeing his tail feathers.

He continues to act as if he was expecting an announcement soon. ???

As for Perline, my rally monkey, I've been forced to keep her in a steel lab animal cage in the attic. You probably saw Perline's uncle, Travis the Chimp, in the news recently. Travis made a near-fatal attack on a Connecticut woman, so I'm taking no chances with Perline. iHUB will get to meet Perline as soon as the Axis announcement is made.

Scardee, Petey is a confused young bird. He does encourage people to refer to him as Petey Abdul Aziz Al Arabiya, but he still insists on wearing a sombrero with his "Cadaffy Boyz" desert dusters. He has a designer duster in every color available: sand, tan, desert, khaki, beige and taupe.

He bought his little Jack Russell Terrier a two hump camel costume, and he rides him around the house pretending to flail the poor pooch with a little camel crop. I think the seed treat smokes are causing some signs of parrot dementia.

BTW, Petey has recently renewed his Investors Business Daily subscription which he let lapse two years back. He's also been looking into a couple of new discount brokerage houses. I think he believes something is up, but I haven't heard any jungle drums in months???

There are a couple of possibilities:

Friday 18 December
Al-Hijira
Islamic New Year. Marks the migration of the Prophet Mohammad and his followers from Mecca to Medina

Sunday 27 December
Ashura
Islamic holy day observed on the 10th of the Islamic month of Muharram. Shi'ite Muslims regard it as a major festival marking the martydom of the Prophet's grandson, Hussein.

Let the rumors begin!

Ive heard of the three S's before. But they were different. lol

Yes, he does have one of those Afghani hats. It's about 3 inches around, made out of some tan burlap material. He looks rather...ummm...native in it.

Parrots don't grow beards so he bought a small fake beard and wears that when he out near Bora Bora. I told him the fake beard ensemble would look a lot better if he removed the bushy eyebrows that came with it. He also has taken to wearing a white wife-beater T-shirt with a HUGE neck hole...kinda like the one KSM wears.

Well, enough about Petey.

I thought your research that shows diminishing Libyan oil production is very insightful. Shokri's got some big decisions to make. I think that by now he must have had opportunity to get re-established after his absence.

I'm looking for some kind of movement within the next 3 - 8 weeks.

Damn, Scardee. You promised not to rat-out Petey if I sent you a half dozen of those little blue pills...

Poor little peglegged bird is just going through a mid-life crisis. He's due back by Christmas. Wants to bring back a duffel bag of some very special Afghani seed treat. Some say it's classified as a weapon of mass destruction in some parrot circles.

My interest was peaking until I read:

"No new parties would be allowed to participate in the project."

Bz-z-z-z-z-t

The long arm of justice has reached over to Stockhouse and pulled Piggy's crap out by the roots.

Personally, I hope he was banned there, too.

You are right, Winnie. My attorney friend assured me that chat boards will "give up" the participant information in a flash. Sometimes voluntarily, if a libel lawsuit is threatened. Always, if the identity is subpoenad.

kaemrjs,

I became aware of Pig-Man's posts last night, but still appreciate you providing me with a "round-about" heads-up.

I'd have to agree, Piggy has redefined evil. It's no longer about a stock, it's a mean-spirited attempt to get revenge by defamation.

What then should be your new appelation? Dr. Not-as Evil?
Dr. Wanna-be Evil? Dr. Mini-Evil? How about? Dr. Not-as-Evil-as-the-Porker

Your choice.

Forgive me for getting all serious and preachy in this email.

We are all guilty of taking Glenn to task for something he has no control over. Let's face it, he has absolutely zero control over what happens in Axis. He can't influence the action by one iota; he can't make things go faster, nor can he predict when the NOC will act. He cannot say more than what has been reported to him. If you think he ought to tell you more, you are expecting to get what he can't give. So he dispenses what he can and it's usually second hand and unreliable. If you don't like that, you can do what I've done. I've stopped demanding accurate information and predictions from a person who doesn't have it to give me. I'd just as soon he would say nothing than feed me a guess or a rumor. Truthfully, how many of you would be content if he said nothing? Not many. So you call and call and demand to know "when".

Glenn is the messenger; he's not a decision maker, he's not a company principal. He is the sole visible point of contact for a company that has been very consistent over the past few years. When there's nothing to say, the company says nothing.

Now, we as investors don't like that much. We want to be assured our hard-earned money is safe and will eventually pay us a return. We demand to know what is going on. We get angry with the lack of information. So we feel justified in beating up the sole visible point of contact. It's a little like a general who shoots his messenger when the battle news is bad.

We all get frustrated with how long this has taken, but there were no guarantees when you laid down your money. If the delay and the lack of info become intolerable, you can sell and walk away. There's no point in beating up the messenger.

Winnie, aka GL, this is what boredom will do to you. And it's certainly better than us getting on each other's case.

As to your question "Has anyone received any private emails from Glen wannabee's?" the answer is "yes", I receive all manner of communication from others in the Glennish Brotherhood. I make no judgement: each and every one is, like you, a full-fledged Glenn.

I may have to break my silence and call IR to speak personally to the Great Immam of the Glennish Brotherhood, his actualness, the original manifestation, GL himself.

Sung to the the tune of "I'm a Pepper."

I'm a Glenner,
You're a Glenner,
He's a Glenner,
Wouldn't you want to be a Glenner, too!?

From a new Book just out!! This thing is really growing!!

"Living Well, Doing Well in the New Glennish Brotherhood" by Sue Ridgepipe, published by Bamboozle Press.

From Chapter 2, "Bidding Farewell to a Glennish Brother"

Say "May Glenn be with you!" or...

"Go with Glenn, my son (daughter)!"

Either farewell should be accompanied by executing a slight bow from the waist.

Ok. I'll bite. Does Glenn have a shaved head?

Kayla gets no exemption, except that people may refer to her as Glennise. "Best looking Glenn you ever saw, except he really should keep up with his testosterone treatments."

Scardecat says: "Hmmmmm...I wonder....by extension, does that mean that GL-String theory and the other works of Dr. Hawkins, such as the mathematical proof of "Worm Holes" have any relation?"

In a word, Yes! I'm surprised that you felt you had to ask that question, Scardee! Perhaps I'd better re-think that Assistant Professorship.

Excuse me, I simply must refresh this drink...

I've been reading a little more about Spontaneous Glennification in Stephen Hawkings' new book, "GL, String Theory, and Quarks, the 3 Amigos of the New Physics."

It states that if 3 or more GLs meet in the same relative physical space, it will create a time-space singularity that could tear the fabric of time.

Now, THAT'S something to look forward to in Vegas!!

It's gonna be lots better than an Elvis Look-Alike convention--all the GLs walking around telling everyone how filthy rich they are all gonna be...hoo hah, can't wait!

Win4me, with enough Scotch and cosmic stimulation I can sometimes channel GL on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I call it Spontaneous Glennification. It's always a big hit at parties.

I totally believe that there may be up to 5 other people on this board who have experienced Glennification. I don’t pretend to understand this, but sometimes GL is physically in two or three different places simultaneously, hence, Spontaneous Glennification. This is no sh*t man! I sometimes call myself on the phone to see how the stock is doing.

PaulyCarbo, yeah some stuff went down. Listen, kid, just pretend you don’t see the broken glass and the busted furniture. And…yeah, that may be blood on the walls. It’s all over now. C’mon folks…move along…go back home…there’s nothing to see here.

Will the real GL, please…stand up!

Hey, a guys got to have a reasonably priced dram while he waits for the $700 bottle of 25 yr old Laproaig.

Pardon me if I deleted one or more of your posts. I wanted to all references to pork to disappear (to include my own), never to be heard from again.

R.I.P.P.

I've found that 2 or 3 shots of 18 yr old Macallan Single Malt put me in a very good place. Matter of fact, 5 or 6 Grolsch flippies usually work well, too.

In 2009 Hadj runs from November 25 - 29.

Just read a little about it. Each person walks counter-clockwise seven times about the Ka'bah, the cube-shaped building which acts as the Muslim direction of prayer; kisses the Black Stone in the corner of the Kaaba; runs back and forth between the hills of Al-Safa and Al-Marwah; drinks from the Zamzam Well; goes to the plains of Mount Arafat to stand in vigil; and throws stones in a ritual Stoning of the Devil. The pilgrims then shave their heads, perform a ritual of animal sacrifice, and celebrate the three day global festival of Eid al-Adha.

Walking, kissing, drinking, running, standing, throwing stones, shaving your head and sacrificing animals. Yeah, I can see why you wouldn't want to interrupt any of that to announce an oil deal.

But what's wrong with the 11 days between now and then?

Aww Geez, Piggy's off his meds--there's Pigs**t on the floor again. Piggy, everytime you leave one of your nasty off-topic messes on the iHUB floor, it's gonna be gone. Your message #5494 is nasty but at least it's on topic. Personal attacks and ugly rants are never on topic. Deal with it.

I'm hearing talk of Hadj being the next "window". Seems like we get yanked from one moslem holy day to the next.

Makes ya wonder...

Ennui, that spells "nue". Y-a-w-n......

BZZZZZZ!

Sorry, Mr Pig, you are incorrect. Here are two press releases within the past 5 years.

Axis Energy Corporation Appoints Veteran Oil Man to the Board

Axis Energy Corporation Appoints Robert V. Shields to Its Advisory Board

Still...Piggy was right in spirit if not in fact. These are very sparse pickings. Axis is not what you would call your average self-promoting pinkie. More like a deaf mute...

I don't eat camel burgers, too high in satuarated fats. My favorite snack, by far, are camel toes.

I like 'em boiled, broiled, pickled, barbequed, on a stick, or on a bun. But my absolute favorite is Camel Toe Tartar.

There's little to not like.

Wow, you guys....don't hold back! Tell us what you really think! LOLOL

Can't blame Uncle Warren for putting a patriotic spin on what I'm sure was a cold, logical business decision.

It's a little like me saying I bought Axis to improve the strained relations between Canada and Libya.

Anybody know if Libya has lifted their Visa restrictions against Canadians?

Yeppers, a thousand here, a thousand there, pretty soon you're talking real money.

My .70 purchase price is gonna look like a REAL nice deal soon.

How soon? As soon as it happens.

I'm a Daydream Believer! A Prideful Pumper! Go Axis!

.70? Yeah, I'll take a 1000 shares of that.

Dr Evil, the first two words of your email say it all...

So sorry.

Pig-Man, I'm gonna say some extra fervent prayers tonight that you are right! I might even talk Petey into getting down on his little parrot knees.

It's time, folks! We are ready.

It looks like someone sold 20,000 shares at market. It looks like some of the shares went as low as 35 cents. The poor doofus gomer!! He probably sold to buy whatever china joe is pushing today.

Just goes to show you that some people just don't have the discipline or the smarts to be successful investors.

Thoughts on the reinstated chairman?

Never heard that Shokri was an impediment to the deal.

Never heard that his replacement was either real good news or real bad news for the deal.

So I think it's a wash. Not a factor. No big deal. Neither real good nor real bad.
