PPJE goes from $0.0019 to $0.0457 ???
According to OTCMarkets.com, PPJE currently has 598,387,437 outstanding shares.
Today's closing stock price was $0.0019.
Multiplying those two figures together provides a market cap TODAY of $1,136,936.13.
As can be seen starting on page 18 of this court document: http://www.scribd.com/doc/200257910/PPJE-v-Grewal, PPJ Enterprises (aka: PPJE) is requesting monetary damages in it's lawsuit against defendant Narinder S. Grewal which total $26,217,528,31.
This would increase the market cap of PPJ by a factor of 24x!!!
With a market cap of $27,354,464.44, PPJE stock would have a book value of $0.0457.
However, there is more.
As can be seen on page 9 of the same court document, PPJ has also requested to be awarded "punitive damages in a sum according to proof at time of trial." This could easily be equivalent to the enumerated monetary damages, and even twice as much.
Twice the stated monetary damages would be $52,435,056.62.
Together with the monetary damages ($25,217,528.31) and the existing market cap ($1,136,936.13), adding in a 2x amount for punitive damages ($52,435,056.62) would bring the total market cap of PPJ to $79,789,531.06.
That would make the PPJE stock have a book value of $0.1333!!!
It is going to be an interesting ride... and possibly a very profitable one too! : )
I happily just took another 1.5 million at 0.0017/0.0018.
Ah no... when they say that "As a courtesy the Company counsel Mr. Hemming is handling all legal formalities," they mean that as one lawyer to another, without regard to "combat" positions, one guy told the other, "go deal with your family... I will handle the legal filings... don't worry about that." Yes, it seems we have found a bit of humanity in lawyers.
Judges are supposed to be impartial and unbiased. However, they are also human, and not stupid.
Ramifications for someone not cooperating with the wishes of a judge are typically that they have lost any hope of getting the benefit of the doubt on any future ruling that could have gone either way. It is unlikely that the judge would adjudicate Grewal in contempt for failure to attend the Settlement Conference, but not ever receiving the benefit of the doubt on iffy calls moving forward could prove very damaging for Grewal, especially in a civil case, where the burden of proof is much lower than in a criminal case.
Of course, we do NOT yet know that Grewal did not attend the Settlement Conference. That is just one possibility to explain the "Exparte proceeding" designation given the Settlement Conference in the court's online log. We will likely have to wait until Tuesday to acquire additional clarifying information from the court.
As grifter_24 stated, there is no need to panic. I've watched the postings after my last one, and I was surprised to see all of the different possible interpretations that have been suggested.
So, I will try this again...
There are three events of interest from the court records:
1) 01/27/2014 at 04:00 pm in Department 48, Elizabeth Allen White, Presiding
Court Order - Court makes order
2) 02/14/2014 at 08:30 am in Department 47, Debre K. Weintraub, Presiding
Exparte proceeding - Matter is heard, matter continued
3) 02/14/2014 Ex-Parte Application (PPJ ENTERPRISE, INC.'S EX PARTE APPLICATION TO CONTINUE TRIAL )
Filed by Atty for Plaintiff and Cross-Deft
In entry #1 on 1/27, Judge Elizabeth White ordered the parties to hold a Settlement Conference to attempt to work through some of their differences. As best as we can tell, this was a pre-condition to the judge allowing the trial to move forward.
In entry #2 on 2/14, we see that the matter was heard (ie: Settlement Conference was held) by (Judge?) Debre K. Weintraub.
I am not clear if "Exparte proceeding" means that only one party (plaintiff PPJ Enterprises or defendant Grewal) attended, or if "Exparte proceeding" means that Debre K. Weintraub was the lone mediator present at the proceeding. I think that the first explanation is the most likely.
In entry #3, also on 2/14, plaintiff PPJ Enterprise files to continue the trial. Note that unlike in other filings, there was NOT a filing to continue (ie: push out past the current 2/26 date) the TRIAL DATES.
Judge White was the one who issued the order (#1 above) that the opposing parties shall attend a mediated settlement conference before the trial moves forward. Therefore, Judge White would have to approve moving forward with the trial satisfied that her order was followed. That would require a request to be approved by Judge White.
Because it was plaintiff PPJ Enterprise that filed such a request, I am thinking that defendant Grewal opted not to attend the Settlement Conference on 2/13. It would not make sense for plaintiff PPJ Enterprise to have filed for the request to move forward with the trial if defendant Grewal had attended the Settlement Conference, and not plaintiff PPJ Enterprise.
If I am correct, this also means that not only is Judge White likely to approve the request to proceed with the trial, but it would mean that defendant Grewal has not made any friends with the court by virtue of skipping the Settlement Conference.
Presumably, grifter_24 will be on top of verifying if I am correct when next Tuesday comes.
Only 7 more trading days until the trial starts on 2/26...
I am not aware of a rumor from Seeking Alpha. Do you have a reference for us?
Although I will admit that I could be interpreting this incorrectly, I see three entries in the court record that seem to be relevant:
1) 01/27/2014 at 04:00 pm in Department 48, Elizabeth Allen White, Presiding
Court Order - Court makes order
2) 02/14/2014 at 08:30 am in Department 47, Debre K. Weintraub, Presiding
Exparte proceeding - Matter is heard, matter continued
3) 02/14/2014 Ex-Parte Application (PPJ ENTERPRISE, INC.'S EX PARTE APPLICATION TO CONTINUE TRIAL )
Filed by Atty for Plaintiff and Cross-Deft
In entry #1 on 1/27, Judge White ordered the parties to hold a Settlement Conference to attempt to work through some of their differences.
In entry #2 on 2/14, we see that the matter was heard (ie: Settlement Conference was held). It is unclear to me if "Exparte proceeding" means that only one party attended.
In entry #3, also on 2/14, PPJ files to continue the trial. Note that unlike in other filings, there was NOT a filing to continue the TRIAL DATES. I am thinking this filing is a request to proceed with the trial as scheduled on 2/26, and that the filing would be necessary in response to the court order on 1/27 which stipulated that the opposing parties would engage in an attempt at a mediated settlement before the trial would proceed. Such a request to continue with the trial would especially be necessary in response to the 1/27 court order if only one party (presumably PPJ) opted to attend the Settlement Conference.
So, from that Ex-parte application to continue the trial, we know that there was no complete settlement reached which would eliminate the need for a trial. However, there is still the possibility that SOME agreements were reached in yesterday's Settlement Conference which may expedite the trial.
On other words, what happened is what we should have expected to happen.
Happy Valentine's Day to you too, grifter_24!
Trial starts in 7 trading days (In observance of the President's Day holiday, the stock and bond markets and the Federal Reserve Bank will be closed on Monday, February 17, 2014.) and the share price has stabilized nicely with a slight pressure to increase.
Good day for us! :)
Taken from Wikipedia:
Ex parte is a Latin legal term meaning "from (by or for) one party". An ex parte decision is one decided by a judge without requiring all of the parties to the controversy to be present. Ex parte means a legal proceeding brought by one person in the absence of and without representation or notification of other parties. It is also used more loosely to refer to improper unilateral contacts with a court, arbitrator or represented party without notice to the other party or counsel for that party.

I am vastly confused about which set of figures might be most dependable, but together they show the market cap is WAY small compared to the potential size of the settlement from the lawsuit.
PPJE afterhours BID: 0.0022 ASK: 0.0179
Perhaps, the MMs are weighing in to indicate what they think will happen to PPJE stock price?
Wow! from .0021 to .09 for PPJE if the value of the corporation were increased by the $27 million (not counting punitive damages) that PPLE is requesting in the lawsuit.
You think that would attract investors? : )
I was just thinking that because the Settlement Conference is a court sponsored event, because of open records laws, the minutes from the Settlement Conference may be posted in the same location where grifter_24 found the other court documents.
Hint, Hint...
SP up 9% everyday consistently is good with me.
Do you know what you get with 30 days of 9% increases every day starting with 0.0023 (current value of PPJE) on day 1?
Answer: 0.028
I am wondering how that "anyday" concept is working out for folks. Let's be honest here; you really have NO idea when Healthnostics might issue another press release, or if that press release may have news related to marijuana.
You just HOPE that it does.
Don't be surprised if the next PR coming from Healthnostics is related to whatever is the next hot thing AFTER pot, and that there will not be another PR issued until that time... even if that takes months or years.
The truth is that Healthnostics has already received whatever benefit they were seeking from the run-up in stock price caused by the hype of displaying a single photograph of a marijuana plant on a single web page accompanied by a PR stating that like every other Tom, Dick and Harry OTC Pink with not much of a real business, Healthnostics also was going to embrace baking their shareholders with pot hype.
If Healthnostics actually had further interest in keeping the stock value high while their web developers rolled out their new bakedmamerican.com web site, they would have been issuing further PRs about the progress of that effort, with news about the development schedule, and milestones met on that schedule, perhaps with some further content additions to the actual web site... SOMETHING to show sustained effort and progress.
Instead, we got silence from the management of Healthnostics while the stock value has plummeted to roughly one-third of its high value.
The good news is that, if Healthnostics ever does release another PR related to marijuana, even if it is months from now, technically, that date will still qualify as "anyday" so technically, you will still be accurate. You just will not be very non-deceptive because everyone knows that "anyday" around here makes people think of "tomorrow" or "later this week", not "next June" or "next October" or "next year".
Pray that anyone is even working on the bakedamerican.com web site at all, and that ANYDAY, even without a PR, there will be obvious increased value in the company (which will drive increased value of the stock price) simply because the web site finally has some valuable content which makes the web site something people might wish to use, and provides a business model that can be monetized to provide the company with actual revenue. Nothing drives lasting increases in stock value more than increasing actual revenue.
This is only speculation, but one obvious reason why all parties may be barred from reporting anything about the results of the Settlement Conference, which will begin at 1:30pm Pacific time (4:30pm Eastern/OTC Market time), is that in order for the court case to end in the event of a pre-trial settlement, the attorneys from both sides will have to notify the judge of the existence of a settlement. They will also have to inform the judge that they both agree with the settlement terms, and are willing to dismiss the case. Remember, this is a bi-directional lawsuit so both sides would have to agree to drop their side of the lawsuit.
Even then, it is possible that the judge has to review the settlement terms, and approve them to approve dismissal of the court case, although if that is the case, I cannot imagine the judge not approving the settlement terms.
In spite of all of that speculation about a pre-trial settlement today, I will point out AGAIN (see my earlier postings on the topic) that the press release indicated that it is the expectation that the Settlement Conference MAY assist in resolving SOME issues before the trial begins on 2/26. Presumably, this would be to help the actual trial go smoother and faster.
Although it is certainly possible that a full settlement could be reached today, there is one very important reason why that will probably not occur.
In addition to compensation for a long list of damages, each of which listing specific monetary values, on page 19, lines 1-2, sentence 9 of the "Complaint for Damages" (of which grifter_24 diligently acquired and posted a public copy at http://www.scribd.com/doc/200257910/PPJE-v-Grewal), it states that the plaintiff (ie: PPJ and Basu) seeks "punitive damages in a sum according to proof at time of trial."
In order words, PPJ and Basu want additional compensation above and beyond the direct monetary losses that were incurred to compensate for the damage to the reputation of PPJ and Basu (ie: loss of basically their entire client base from slender originating from Grewal) and lost time (years of life) spent to recover the due compensation, etc. The attorneys for the plaintiff are going to present their case, and the hardships that have had to be endured FOR YEARS in seeking what is right, to 12 good men and women, and ask them to determine what they feel is right and proper and fair compensation for the damages which Grewal has inflicted. Depending on the mood of the jury, these punitive damages could end up being even more than what the listed monetary damages (which include $26,217,498.31 plus interest and attorney's fees) are!
Just remember the millions of dollars that some lady received for being so stupid as to spill hot coffee upon herself. In this case, Basu's only stupidity was trusting a business associate of 11 years who was a corporate officer and member of the board of directors of PPJ... and he screwed her (and PPJ) every way imaginable... and not in a good way.
A sympathetic jury could award Basu and PPJ MANY times in punitive damages beyond what is requested in direct damages. PPJ could easily become a $50 million or $100 million larger corporation by the time this is all completed. People can tabulate what that would do to the book value of the stock.
However, you have to realize that the trial is scheduled to begin on 2/26/2014, and it is scheduled to run for 15 court (ie: working) days, which takes us out to March 18th.
So, remembering that California is in the Pacific time zone, we may not know anything definitive until March 19th. People should set their expectations accordingly.
Settlement Conference for start of millions for PPJE
Today is the day! : )
Nope... there will be no delay of the Settlement Conference. The early scheduling for this event was "the 13th or the 20th" before the agreement on the 13th was reached. Then, the scheduling was solidified on 13th.
Just one more day! : )
Clearly, each person can pick their sell target, but when it moves, PPJE seems to move very easily. We will probably be back into 0.004x's and 0.005x's very shortly, so selling in the 0.003x's is likely premature.
We may have seen the last of the 18's today. There may be a dip into that range tomorrow, but the strength for higher numbers has been growing for about 3 days now, and it is going to starting to become more and more difficult to find those lower numbers. I got 17's with difficulty and 18's pretty easy yesterday. Early today, I did get a small batch of 18's, but after that, it was very hard. 2x's are soon going to be the bargains...
Looks like a big 4M buy happened this afternoon, just the big buys the previous 3 days. Someone with deep pockets is still loading up...
I loaded 1.7 million @ .0017/.0018 yesterday to add to what I already had/ : )
Still have more standing buy orders waiting patiently in case the price drops a bit tomorrow. I am sure I am not alone.
Is a 10 bagger worth some wait?
If the attorney's plan for a 15 day trial holds true, and the trial STARTS on 2/26, we may not even get any news about the trial until March 18th or 19th! You have to remember that judges REALLY do not tend to like parties in a trial that is in progress to be leaking information that might taint the jury if the information got back to the jury through some sort of news release. Is is unlikely that the jury will not be allowed to go home every night for a trial that might span 21 calendar days.
If you cannot handle the fact that the real breakout for PPJE may not occur for about 5 more weeks, this may not be the stock for you.
On the other hand, PPJE is currently trading at about 1/10th of its 52 week high which it hit only last October. So, if the prospect of an easy 10 bagger is worth a bit of patience to you, now is the time to load up and plan to hold for a bit over a month.
As I have pointed out before, and will again now to help set the correct expectations for Thursday's Settlement Conference, it is not intent that the Settlement Conference creates a settlement to eliminate the need for the trial. The judge still very much expects a trial.
The purpose of the Settlement Conference is for the two opposing parties to achieve some level of agreement on SOME points of disagreement in order to SHORTEN, not eliminate, the time that the trial ties up the judge's courtroom.
She does not seem happy about the attorney's plan to consume 15 days of courtroom time, and wants it finished faster.
It is important that people understand that expectation so we do not end up with PPJE back in the 0.001x level (or lower) when a settlement is not achieved to eliminate the trial. That was never the intent of the Settlement Conference, and people should set their expectations accordingly. It is pretty much a slam dunk that the trial will be held, and the Settlement Conference will NOT eliminate the need for the trial... which is exactly what was the intent and plan of the court all along.
So, don't panic on Thursday when no complete settlement is announced. ANY degree of agreement between the parties reached in the Settlement Conference should regarded as a success.
What innovative ideas has the CEO of Healthnostics demonstrated?
The ability to use small amounts of HTML on a single web page to present a color photograph of a marijuana plant???
The ability to copy concepts from existing, operational websites like http://pharmajanes.com/ and https://weedmaps.com/ ???
The ability to express no business plan or means to monetize the bakedamerican.com web site???
Look... I have owned HNSS before, and probably will again because I got very nice profits when I sold each time. Maybe the bakedamerican.com website will be a kick-ass content provider that generates huge revenue for Healthnostics.
However, we do not know ANY of that yet because all the bakedamerican.com web site is at the moment is a placeholder without ANY details about any possible innovation... or evena worksable business model.
Until we see something more, making statements about how the CEO has innovative ideas related to the soon-to-possibly-be bakedamerican.com web site is just plain dishonestly deceptive.
This IS the week leading up to the settlement conference!
It happens on 2/13 at 1:30pm.
Seeing that the fundamentals of a corporation involve a corporations value and financials, we have to believe in the market system, and the value of the Healthnostics stock (HNSS) approximately corresponded to what the actual value of the company was before the bakedamerican.com effort was announced. That value would be directly suggested by simple things, like corporate assets, corporate revenue, expectations of the expansion of the existing business base.
In the ibox at the top of the iHub forum for Healthnostics, we see a list of products from Healthnostics.
First, there are World Wide Wipes, based at wipesco.com. There is only one problem; the wipesco.com web site DOES NOT EXIST! In fact, a quick "whois" search on internic.net (the master web site for looking up .com domains), we find the following:
No match for domain "WIPESCO.COM".
>>> Last update of whois database: Mon, 10 Feb 2014 13:49:48 UTC <<<
That right... the wipesco.com domain is not even registered. You could own it right now simply by registering it yourself!
Next, we have the MicroFill-2160 fill-and-seal machine and the MobileCleanRoom. As best as I can tell from reading hundreds of postings from this forum about the history of Healthnostics, it appears that neither the MicroFill-2160 fill-and-seal machine and the MobileCleanRoom ever actually existed. If they did exist, it seems that zero copies of them were ever sold. Scam or failed engineering effort? I don't know; you tell me.
MedBioWorld certainly does exist at http://medbioworld.com/. Potentially, this web site even has some value, but do you see any means that Healthnostics will be able to monetize the web site? Yes, it IS important that a for-profit corporation can actually generate revenue and profit from their products. I don't see that. BTW, why has the copyright for MedBioWorld not been updated yet to 2014? Maybe this is because Healthnostics is no longer maintaining and enhancing that web site?
Next, we have MedGuardian... or not.
From the Healthnostics web site (http://healthnostics.com/products.php), we can learn the following about MedGuardian:
"MedGuardian is a Web-based patient care monitoring and risk management system for hospitals. It provides automated data collection, reporting and analysis for improving clinical treatments and reducing medical errors. Patient treatment issues such as clinical complications, unexpected outcomes or other medical issues can be monitored and tracked providing continuous, real-time analysis and improvement. Risk events of concern to a hospital, including information about patients, visitors, and employees are also documented and tracked."
However, there appears to be no means to find out more, or to even attempt to order/purchase this product. The above paragraph is all of the information available, and you can click your mouse all day on the page where this information is supplied, and it will take you nowhere further. Does MedGuardian actually exist? How would anyone know?
Finally, there is FamilyMedicalNet.com, which does very much exist. Again, the copyright for the web site still says, "2004-2013" so there is not much reason to figure that this web site is actively maintained or enhanced either.
Take a good look at MedBioWorld.com and FamilyMedicalNet.com. Click around on those web sites to get a fair idea about the content there.
Do you see any potential for generating revenue beyond click-thru fees paid to Healthnostics for redirecting users to other web sites where there is actual content instead of just pointers to content in other domains. There is nothing wrong with a business model based on collecting click-thru fees. I have a friend, and her blog nets her about $400/month in click-thru fees when her readers click on URL links displayed on her web site to take those users to other sites where one can actually conduct business of various types.
Just make sure you understand the history of the product line of Healthnostics before you spend your cash on its stock. Don't get caught in the hype. Realize that yet another web site (in this case, bakedamerican.com) will probably have similar functionality as the existing web sites which Healthnostics has had created for them. So, if you were expecting something else... something earth-shattering... just because the web site will concentrate on marijuana related content, you might be disappointed.
Here is the total effort expended into bakedamerican.com so far (or at least what we are being shown publicly):

I have changed all of the "<" characters to "[" and all of the ">" characters to "]" because iHub does not like HTML tags inside of posted messages.
The main thing is that the entire bakedamerican.com web site consists of about half a page of HTML code, some cascading style sheet (CSS) stuff that is likely boilerplate, and a handful of PNG pictures. Even most of the HTML is boilerplate, probably generated by an automatic code generator.
The only original content is the following:
1) "Baked American - Embracing Freedom Responsibly"
2) "Baked American provides marijuana consumers with product information, locations and resources."
3) "baked american, marijuana, sparking, pot, chronic, dew, golden leaf, joint, ganja, crazy weed, grass, herb, king bud"
4) "COMING SOON"
5) "2014 Healthnostics, Inc."
For that, people are going ga-ga over this stock.
I am sure that Visual Flavors (the web development group that is supposedly designing bakedamerican.com) are quite capable of creating a nice web site. Their portfolio suggests that this is true.
However, have any of you looked at the three existing web sites that Healthnostics already has? Do those web sites stand out to you as vital parts of the Internet?
Invest, if even for the short term, carefully...
Just in case "Ed da crud" is some sort of sarcastic reference to me, I will point out that EVERYTHING that I have stated as fact IS factual. I certainly have enjoyed engaging in some speculation about this stock over this past weekend, as I feel that we need some form of amusement with regard to BTHR until something real happens.
However, it is obvious to any reader when I am expressing speculation and opinion. It is also equally obvious when I am expressing fact.
Oh MsCoffeenut333, in that last post, I was going for TOTALLY TOASTED! hehehehe
Maybe BTHR could open some sort of MJ buffet. My understanding is that in countries where marijuana is completely legal, they have such "restaurants" where one can choose from a wide variety of different pot from around the world. The salesperson behind the counter will ask the customer about what type of experience they are seeking, and then the salesperson recommends a variety of MJ that would best provide that experience.
BTHR corporate headquarters is in Florida, but there is nothing to prevent them from opening store fronts in any state with recreational marijuana is legalized. Corporations are not bound by state boundaries with regard to where their facilities are located.
I already have gotten my cheap shares of BTHR, but I had to work hard to get them!
Can you imagine making $29,000 profit on only a $1,000 investment in BTHR?
One grand gets you 10 million shares today, and if it returns to its 52 week high of 0.03, that $1,000 grows to $30,000 !!!
So, if BTHR was at 0.003 less than a year ago because of a pump, why couldn't the management orchestrate another such pump now (or soon)? I don't see any reason why not. They obviously know how to do successful pumps or the stock price would not have reached that level before.
In this case, you really cannot blame John Whitman for this rumor.
It was reported by someone on this discussion forum that the "Sierra World Equity Review" reported that BTHR acquires FATZ (http://www.thelion.com/bin/forum.cgi?sf=BTHR&msg=21&cmd=r&t= which points you to http://sierraworldequityreview.blogspot.com/2014/02/big-three-restaurants-bthr-acquires.html).
There appears to be no indication that BTHR or John Whitman were in any way involved with this rumor.
It seems MUCH more realistic to me that Big Three would buy a franchise rather that be able to buy a complete restaurant chain from an organization that appears to have their stuff together, and appears to be geared toward expansion, rather than liquidation.
Has anyone even heard from our CEO since his accident last summer? For all I know, he is still recovering in the hospital. Maybe he ultimately died from injuries. There have not been ANY press releases issued since the accident was reported in last PR. If people are counting on e-mail responses, remember that ANYONE with access to an e-mail account can respond, and you will never know the difference.
Has anyone directly seen John since the accident, or talked directly to him on the phone, or seen any direct evidence that he is still here (ie: recent news articles with his picture, TV interviews, etc.)?
A very good memory and attention to detail are what I figure are my primary advantages in this rather expensive game of musical chairs that we play in penny world! ;)
Hehe... maybe no one else can read and retain information then? You and some of the other folks posted information about the case several times which listed the judge's name. I don't actually remember the name at this moment (I wanna say it is something like Elizabeth White, but I am not certain), but it was clearly a woman's name. It seems weird to me that no one has realized that; I just assumed that everyone else did.
