I know Swede, I also live in the Midwest. (German though).
And believe me, I for one, cant wait to have to pay taxes on my profits from EEGC.
But even you have to admit, we as private investors ,have no say as to the success or failure of Empire. We are merely along for the ride. That's the choice we made when we plunked down our coin to buy Empire shares in the first place. It seems to me that many of these other recent posters do nothing but muddy the water with blatant speculation.
Get things going,and get drilling? You bet!!. But there's nothing you or I can say that will make that happen any faster , until it happens.... I know another poster here espouses Patience... And frankly, I agree.. Because Honestly, there is no other choice... Is there?:)
Swede, What we all have to loose is moot at this point! Don't you agree? Its what we stand to gain that has me worried.
Make no mistake, the IRS, and the US government will be on us like stink on turds looking for their cut of the profit when this thing comes to be!!! In the US, we call it capital gains, or long term capital gains tax. I have no doubt, your government has a similar metaphor... :)
We are private investors whose name is none of your business Doc! My stock market investments,number of shares held,and Identity are fully protected under the SEC and U.S. law. As a million share Plus share holder,(or a one share holder for that matter)
Your insistence on knowing our identities serves no purpose whats so ever! If you don't like where things are going? I suggest you sell out your position, move on , and find something a little more suitable to your liking..Before your PPS rises so high, you wont be able to figure out how to handle the capital gains tax on your investment! This is only my opinion, and of course , no personal attack upon you is intended... :)
What else can we be ? It is what it is , and we are where we are.. Please don't take offence G . Its Saturday, the markets are closed, and were off duty. Sorry to poke fun, and no,
I still prefer my Macs and Cohibas to Benjamin's. Then again, at the rate were going? Maybe I better get used to White Owls and Dutch Masters??
Please have a great week end, and on Monday , We will start anew pondering and plotting the possible future of Empire Energy.. :)
However Gescoff, Brooklyn con men usually don't spend years trying to con penny stock investors from their meager investment. If your lucky, They get it quick, and the rest of you may be found in a south Jersey dump, Or not....
Come on man! Think about what your saying here! Quit watching those Soprano reruns. And get informed to the real possibilities at hand.... Because, frankly Its obvious there ain't no one getting rich at your expense on this stock where it stands.....Savvy? And with all due respect...........
We are, H... We do appreciate all the information you put forth to this board. Not to mention, who else would we have to avenge us from the infamous Z..?
I know I some times get a little carried away with some of this nonsense, But I do know a straight shooter when I see one. Keep it coming, Because until Malcolm decides we are worthy of his wisdom and direction? :) Its apparent you know more than anyone else posting here on I-Hub, Well, maybe not Howard, But hey,,,,We enjoy hearing what you have to say....:)
Herc, My goodness Did you miss the whole point of the funny of my post?
I suggest you go have the drink. Quit working for just a little while, Empire will still be here tomorrow, We do appreciate all the information you provide, turn the damn computer off and go enjoy some down time!!!! :) PS; I'm watching you!! , and I know you didn't turn it off yet... Go!!! Take a break!!!! Please? Youve earned it and then some.... :)
Common guys, can you hear yourselves talk? Nothing but nothing means a fart in a whirlwind on this board until Malcolm Bendall comes down from on high and shares with the rest of us lowly peons what his intentions are for this company. All else is worthless speculation.
Frankly,to claim otherwise, would be the same as booking odds on Farrah Faucet and Michael Jackson dying on the same day,In the same town!
Come on , Get real. No more shenanigans, and silly speculation. If you have hard facts to share? Great! If not? Please feel free to keep the road open for real information. Enough is enough.......
Better have been Stella Artois??? Feel free to have five or six Vincent. Then if you would?Do me a favor? Give Malcolm a ring and ask him what the hecks going on!.....:)
Why you sly Boots! Seems your the only one who got the funny.
Says something about the staying power of us Yanks,,,Eh What?.....:)
Look at it this way. Malcolm, for what ever reason has had the uncanny ability to remain afloat over the years against seemingly insurmountable odds. What makes today any different than past several years? Deliverance and profit is either at hand? Or it isn't..What else need be said? Except,Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, How did you like the play?......:)
not a pretty sight ,is it?
Dammit Howard, Turn of your computer and go enjoy your family! Tomorrow's another day!!... Fathers day pertains to Yankees too......:)
I agree Penny, I read that post on yahoo and frankly, I'm not familiar with the poster, and the information posted just doesn't pass the Smell test.
What I do think I smell is a rat,trying to create more unfounded dissention amongst investors.....JMO
I agree with you 100% Momoore, I have no doubt that many of us longs saw the chance to further our investment and decrease our PPS standings. While at the same time hold the line and increase our position.
Monday is a new day,and by all means, have a great weekend all. And come Monday, We'll fry the hash once again!!...:)
Come on Big G, Make no mistake! There are more than a couple of us longs, who could have sold out, put your kids through college, bought you a new car or two, then bought back in and still hold the same position we hold now. Frankly, I think we've earned the right to be Pompous cats!....Positive dreams for old farts like us are a positive thing. Hell, we'll never live to spend it all anyway. I'm sorry, I forgot. What were you saying again?..... :)
Oh, and not to be a real pompous patoot here, But for those of you who have really big Kahones? Why wait for the rights offering anyway?
Why not snag up your 1/3 share now,While you can. Instead of waiting for the $.07 PPS?
If you truly believe in Empire energy, whats the difference?
Frankly,I can hardly wait for the posters who start with their ,could have,would have,should have,diatribe when this stock finds its legs....:) JMO
Not a thing Doc, I suppose my post was not aimed directly towards you. But more towards those that seem to think an opinion board such as this is somehow supposed to be continually providing them with guaranteed, bonafide investing information so they can make their investment decisions with no chance of loosing any capital...And we all know that ain't the way it works!
By the way, I was able to snag up another 300,000 shares today on the cheap. Took awhile,But I have no doubt, Us longs will either sink? Or swim!
I have no other words of wisdom to add here, But? I like to think I prefer swimming!....:)
Sorry Doc, But I have spoken numerous times with Howard via the telephone over many months. One thing I can assure you, Is that Howard Haftel Is by no means a paid pumper, stock dumper, day trader, Empire shill, or carnival Rube.
Howard is in actuality, a very nice grandfather from New Jersey, whose only ulterior motive on this board has been to share any and all information he can garner about Empire Energy with his fellow investors,right or wrong, and hopefully provide some financial security for his kids,and grandchildren.
Is he always right? No! Does he profess to have some sort of insider information about the company? No! Has Howard always been explicit in his opinion that the information he shares with this board are only his opinions? YES!
We must all make what we can from our own Due Diligence when It comes to our investing strategy. Relying on others to have the correct information, or fault them when they are not totally right, or even wrong for that matter,serves no purpose whatsoever to the needs of our investment family....
The longs are in this to the end, So lets try to find positive information to share with our fellow investors and climb the ladder together.....:)
Penny, not to correct you, But remember the deal is 1 for every 2 shares held as of 12/18/08. Not 1 for 1? Unless Malcolm gets a better deal than the rest of us unworthy Longs?....:)
DITTO that Colonel! I am reminded that it takes a very rare breed indeed with a very large Sack to jump out a a perfectly functioning aircraft,at extremely low altitude, and perhaps under enemy fire all the while!
You tell'em Jim. You have our utmost respect and appreciation! Go Empire! Go 82nd Airborne!

Today's PR? Funny, I don't see anything on the Business wire today for Empire? Am I missing something here?
Now, Now, Momoore, Don't be calling him an Idiot... Frankly, for as much as I've been able to increase my position on the cheap as of late? I'd be calling him my best friend!!!...LOL
Wow! It sure is quiet on the trading front today. Cant understand how they can still hold the PPS so low with such little volume. Probably thanks to all us longs who are holding firm and will not be falling for the old banana in the tail pipe trick!....:)
Only an Idiot would be selling now! Stand firm and watch that PPS grow!!!!!!!!
Try the ask of .09. maybe youll get lucky?
MMMMMMMMMMMMMM Stella, My favorite! Nice and cold. Thanks for giving me an excuse to get started at 8:00am Vincent! Thanks alot!...lol
Roger, As I have stated many times before on this board. Without sellers, there can be no buyers. For us longs, now more that ever is the time to stand Pat. I agree there may be somewhat of a gap in the early running. However, If we as investors refuse to be moved, and give in to those who would move us from a firm position? The PPS has only one way to go.
I invite the longs, no matter what you see, or you think you see tomorrow, to be resolute in your position.
Yes, Manny of us are seeing 10.20,maybe 30% of our original investment at this point. But you have to ask yourself, Is this the time to cash out and walk?
We stand on the cusp of the possibility of the largest Hydrocarbon find in recent history in Tasmania, Or we loose whats left of our investment and move on.
Be all In? or Be all Out! The choice is yours, You dont need the naysayers to tell us were all nuts, we already know that!....:) "GO EMPIRE-AND DO IT NOW!"
Speculation,speculation, speculation! For goodness sakes folks, couldn't we all try to Hold our Water until tomorrow's opening Bell? Then see what develops?...
And by the way, Cat and mouse game?...Sorry, I like to think I don't have any mouses(sic) because my cat simply eats all the mice, not a game ,just a mere snack between meals!.....:)
Got to hand it to you Howard, You could find a useful purpose for Teats on a Boar! Keep that positive attitude coming. With all whiners and naysayers? We need all the positive attitude we can get today!! GO EMPIRE!!!!
Freddy, If you want the straight dope? Try reading post #5445 again, or in case you missed it....:)
Freddy, Its OK to be nervous. Hell, were all nervous. And when all is said and done here? I will be the first to be on board to help establish the "Empire Million share holders club".
Trust me Freddy, there are more than a few of us who hold that,and many,many and more.
Make no mistake most of us Longs, didn't buy in at no stinking $0.038! Or twice ,or triple for that matter!
A number of us have been around for years, Investing many thousands of dollars in this company, believing not only in the accrued seismic data science, and belaying the perception of our serious doubts about the way this company has, may, or will be managed.
Butt, The long shot possibility that Empire energy might have a slim chance to be able to deliver the goods, Is still much too enticing of an opportunity to ignore!!
Much like Texas hold em poker? This is what you bought into. I suggest you either "Hold em"? or "Fold Em".
Unfornately, at this stage of the game, Its either Black or White. Not much room for one who tries to Play Grey....:)
Gee Freddy, let me consult my magic crystal ball here... Yup! Howard's right on the money. The could have ,should have might have, most possibly, maybe definitely,any minute rule most assuredly applies in this situation!
Come on,Get real! When the company makes its post, you'll be the second one to know. Because as close as I watch this stock I'll be the first! Unless you want to go over to the Yahoo boards for a poster who has no doubt we are all doomed anyway! Patience Freddy, patience!!....:)
Ya Ricky, too bad your optimism cant help the Kansas City Royals. lol
Look,we all knew Empire was High Risk, High Gain going in. And all this armchair speculation going on right now will not change that plain simple fact!
Not a Rosy PR, not a promise of funding, not a future date to drill, Not even Howard Haftel,and his perpetually optimistic outlook on the company's future.(Fine man of integrity,and hope for the future that he is!)
Its time to buck up boys and Poop? Or get off the pot! Yes, the odds are long, but the rewards are high.
So, If your selling? Again, I'm buying......:)
Been there, done that. On more than one occasion I might add.
Nice gal that answers the phone, but other than that? Its a bare bones operation from what I can see.(don't get me wrong.I'm glad to see our investment isn't squandered on opulent accommodations.)
Well, you know as much as I do. Maybe This years annual shareholders meeting? Was there last year,But we all know how that ended up. I am after all just another one of the Sheep like you.
As Howard would say, All we can do at this point is be patient and wait for official company news.
Well, that and don't bet on Royals games. That's a guaranteed looser, and Empire Energy has at least a chance of success....:)
captschippy from Kansas City Mo. Too!! Whooo Hooo! Go Chiefs! And Take the Royals with you!....:)
While you guys keep yipping away, someone just dropped $10,000.00 and snagged up 250,000 shares in one pop!....:)
I agree with Howard, The company is depending on investors to step up to the plate.
I'm sure many of you may think this is nothing but the "stick"? But I'm sure the "Carrot will soon follow! Be patient and lets wait for "The rest of the story)....:)
If that should happen,can I have your shares?....:)
