The chart looks good, and StockTA still has this as a bullish stock. I agree, and the company has revenue coming in. Can't say that a bout most OTC stocks :)
Here's the link if anybody is curious, and it even breaks things out for everyone to understand:
http://www.stockta.com/cgi-bin/analysis.pl?symb=BLDW&cobrand=&mode=stock
Float: 10,382,824.
That's an eye catcher :) Revenue, credit, and a low float. BLDW, you're doing it right! You're setting an example for what other OTC companies should be doing!
We have made significant installations and inroads with this relationship, have booked meaningful revenue, and we believe we have a significant advantage in contracting to serve their other locations. They are a very large and well-known company, and we are very proud to be doing business with them.
And 446 more of them to go. That's a very nice chunk of change. 5-8 million dollars for a stock with a float around 10-11M. Do the elementary math! The big picture is clearly easy to see here.
BLDW keeps on bringing in those revenues. I know it sounds silly, but I can't believe an OTC stock is actually revenue generating. There's no forward looking statements there, neither is the company asking shareholders to wait 6+ months for something that *MIGHT* happen. Cash is coming in RIGHT NOW. That's a breath of fresh air. OTC needs more CEO's and execs like BLDW has.
$IFTF$
No shit! LOL. I wish more would see that. Its definitely a diamond in the rough, and it looks like the company continues to pull through and land more contracts. No smoke & mirrors or run-arounds like their counterparts either. I think we're all seeing just the tip of an extremely large iceberg. BLDW is the real deal.
$IFTF$
What's that? An OTC with revenues AND credit? 2 things most OTC companies struggle with getting, and legitimately? I know I've made a wise investment here :) The company sure knew what it was doing when it decided to get in the LED business, and they're seeing the benefits of doing that almost instantly. There's not just companies out there switching to LED's, but entire cities as well mandating the switch. They're offering products and services to fill a heavy demand. This is no OTC kool-aid surprise. This is BLDW just showing us a glimpse of the gravy train that they have coming.
$IFTF$
Still looking like its around 10-11M or so.
Roger, in addition to being 10x's more efficient, it also lasts 10-30x's longer and requires less equipment. LED's also don't diminish in quality overt time the way CFL's do. Getting into the lighting business was a brilliant move by BLDW management, and they started seeing ROI on that decision almost instantly.
You and I both have been around the block quite a bit, and I'm sure we'll both agree on this statement: BLDW has things most OTC/Pinks lack: actual products and actual revenues.
This is a company that you will see on the OTC graduation list.

Mark my words on that.
The Great State of Texas agrees with you 100%.
I think they even 1up'd everyone.

!NEWS! Building Turbines Announces Completing 90,000 sq-ft LED Lighting Retrofit Installation, for The FreshBrew Group, Houston, TX
AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwired - Sep 12, 2013) - Building Turbines, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BLDW), announces that, through Green City Planet, a fully owned subsidiary of Building Turbines, Inc., they are completing the LED lighting retrofit for The FreshBrew Group of Houston, TX, which included replacing all existing lighting in their 90,000 sq-ft warehouse, manufacturing facility, executive offices and all other interior and exterior lighting, with cost saving LED Lighting.
The FreshBrew Group comprises a specialty small-batch roasting and gourmet quality coffee company and a first class, technology-driven vending services company. From relatively humble origins in Louisiana to their expanding roasting plant and warehousing facilities in Houston, FreshBrew Group now serves more than 1,800 national and local customers representing the food service, hospitality and travel industries, as well as heavy industry, municipalities, healthcare and commercial businesses.
Dari Ansari, CEO of The FreshBrew Group, stated, "We are amazed how changing our previous lighting, to Building Turbines LED lighting, has affected not only our electric bill; but also, has added bonuses. Our facility is much cooler now, and being in Texas, we will realize a huge savings on our air-conditioning; but probably the most noticeable difference to the staff, is the quality and richness of the new LED lighting. It's like being in a whole new facility, and has had a dramatically positive effect on not only the work environment, but the attitude, and well- being of our staff. I plan to do additional projects with Building Turbines, and the only thing that I regret about this one, is that we did not do it sooner."
"Completing The FreshBrew Group installation is yet another milestone achieved by BLDW. This project brings tens of thousands of dollars of revenue into the company, allowing us to continue to implement our strategy of becoming a one stop shop for all urban Green Energy Solutions. The project went so smoothly, and the results were so dramatic, that Mr Ansari is already having us look at additional projects, that we look forward to signing in the very near future," stated BLDW CEO John Graham.

When you think of how important green energy will be to the survival of every country in the world, BLDW's current PPS is still an entry level price. I'm baffled as to how many people out there are short sighted when it comes to this.
I mean, just look at the Graphene research out there, and then stuff like this:
http://phys.org/news/2013-09-stacked-solar-cells-energy-suns.html
How could anybody ignore the possibilities?
BLDW will be your Huckleberry.
Consolidation is what a few analysts out there predicted. BLDW has established solid levels where its at and is making way for another upward trend. In my humble opinion, the company is steadily winning the green energy race by doing what it does best: being an attractive, revenue producing company with great products that will increasingly be important as this country grows while constantly communicating with their shareholders and bringing a great sense of value to new investors.
Building Turbines Awarded $1M Project for New Solar Carport and LED Retrofit, for Five Story Office Buildings in Austin TX
AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwired - Aug 30, 2013) - Building Turbines, Inc.

As an IT professional, I'm still yet to see any evidence that BLDW had anything to do with what you're claiming. I personally have found absolutely nothing, and I know how these things work. Anybody could have done that sort of thing on their own. I do find it interesting that the day those emails stopped, some of the loudest antagonists disappeared.
To me, it sounds like someone's personal lame attempt to try to push this stock on their own without any involvement from the company. Whoever was behind it didn't even get the name/symbol of the company correct.
Don't get discouraged so easily. BLDW is current and in excellent standing with OTC & Pinksheets. They obviously did their investigation and reinstated BLDW's current status.
$IFTF$
IR has always returned my calls & emails, along with most people on the board from what I've read. Are you sure you're contacting the right person?
BLDW in the clear and heading north au natural :) All aboard! More green days to come!
Wow. I'm nearly speechless at this one. That's not how banking works...... at all. Banks pay people interest on their own money. Why wouldn't you want to collect interest on money in your own account? Unless you're banking at the Toilet Store, this is a pretty acceptable and regular practice.
But, that's just me.
Tone,
Think about that a little bit further. Why are railroad ties efficient and robust? The answer to this gives GESI a clear edge over most gasification companies. Constant, static, high BTU feedstock which translates into constant output (and more accurate power & financial projections). Other gasification companie' output are in constant flux because of the diverse content of their feedstock.
Adding tires to the mix would be like putting octane booster in your car. That's another very high BTU substance, and if GESI can secure this as an additional fuel source, that means more power, which translates into more money for GESI and its shareholders.
The leftover nutrient rich ash from gasification chambers can also be sold as fertilizer to commercial farmers. There's many sources of money for GESI, and lets not forget those fabulous carbon credits.
This really is a win/win for everyone.
$IFTF$
Its definitely not a negative. The company will have assets this year, which everyone knows gets factored into the market. Many million in assets in GESI's case.
This isn't rocket science. Anybody who thinks the market is all about revenue is flat out wrong.
BLDW's MACD is screaming for some attention in upcoming days. The 50 is speeding towards the 200 average & both the RSI and PPS continue to remain stable. This stock also has a tiny, tiny float of 10M. Technicals show it could see a breakout soon.
Thanks for posting this, withlove.
Anybody with an understanding of 9th grade English shouldn't have a problem interpreting what's going on with GESI, given the facts you've outlined. Its pretty simple to understand.
Has anybody done any DD on the carbon credits or other government incentives for projects like this? Any contributions from the government would drive GESI's operations costs down, which would boost their earnings when their facility comes online. I'd really love to know quite honestly.
Since GESI has been demonstrating a logical order of events for their project, I think permitting news would come next. That's usually the last thing to occur before construction begins.
I have no doubt this will happen, because GESI has come through with everything else.
$IFTF$
These contract deals appear to be constantly happening with BLDW. More and more are popping up, and the company PR's are coming out more frequently too. They're definitely keeping people in the loop, and its quite obvious how branching out into the LED business will help sell their turbines as well.
I can't stress this enough: LED's are paving the way for the future. Incandescent bulbs will no longer be manufactured in the near future, and CFL's need constant replacements & maintenance. LED's can literally last for decades. Think of how much lighting there is in the US that will need to be replaced. Think of how much lighting in the world there is that will need to be replaced, because other countries are following this plan as well:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-out_of_incandescent_light_bulbs#Federal_legislation
The float is also around 10M as far as I can tell. When BLDW moves, it really moves fast.
It makes complete sense that they've gotten into the LED business when you look at the big picture. LED does fit in with their turbine product and makes a more compelling case to buy them as well. There will only be more of this in the future.
Incandescent bulbs are dead. Long live LED!
$IFTF$
The updates seem to keep coming out faster and faster. BLDW is indeed getting more business, and as an investor I'm extremely happy to hear about this and their success.
We will not only experience a tremendous cost savings in our electric bill; but also through tax incentives and available rebates.
That's really good shit, jmb. Excellent find! I wasn't even aware of that.
Europe is definitely very familiar with wind turbines though, and they've welcomed the technology rather well.
For example, check this one out. One of the largest turbine installations in the EU:
http://www.upi.com/Business_News/Energy-Resources/2012/03/22/Largest-wind-turbine-placed-in-Belgium/UPI-42731332426368/
If BLDW approached the European market, I'm sure they'd get a bit of business. There seems to be a stronger push for green/renewable energy in the EU than in the US. Germany already generates more electricity than it needs thanks to their adoption of such technoogies. They actually sell the excess electricity to neighboring countries.
I've said this before: I believe alternative & green energy markets will be the next biggest thing on Wall Street since the tech sector boom.
$IFTF$
Seems like some impatient traders, which is common in OTC/Pinksheets. I'm sure that GESI will catch them all off guard.
As Warren Buffet said:
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago
GESI is another alternative energy stock to keep on your radar. I see BLDW mentioned in here a bit, and I agree with the posters that its a solid company with good moral standings (I've spoken with them a few times). So, I'm sure the BLDW posters in here can back me up when I mention GESI. Why's that? They're building a waste to energy facility in Canada and their source of fuel is free, courtesy of national railroads giving them their railroad ties.
Why would railroad companies do such a thing? Because its cheaper to give it to a company that will dispose of them rather than to store them somewhere or pay someone to store them.
What makes this even better is that the site where this is being built is right on the railroad, so getting fuel there will be easier than ever. I should also mention that there's tax incentives & carbon credits out the wazoo coming their way given the nature of their business.
The only byproduct of gasification is nutrient rich ash that can be sold back on the market as fertilizer, or additives for other products.
This is a safe, effective, and much needed way of handling waste and generating much needed electricity to Alberta.
Stop on by the GESI board if you're interested and care to read up. There's plenty of DD there to read, but we'd also love the extra company too :) If you're more on the shy side, just drop me a PM instead. I'll be nice!
Thanks!
$IFTF$
Thanks! :)
Do you have an annotated chart that you can share with the board? Quite a few of us understand technicals, but I like to keep a level playing field for all posters and lurkers so that they understand as well. Its better for GESI, and also helps people sharpen their skills & knowledge.
Thank you!
$IFTF$
It also went from 01 to 02 to 03 04 05 06, etc.. several times. I guess you missed that part?
Unless you've been involved with or performed a $50M transaction, or built a power plant in another country, its just absurd to say how long things should take to complete.
I still wouldn't complain if I were riding free and saw many 200-400%+ gains. Construction projects take time, and I believe muscleshoals went into a little detail from a very high level how some construction jobs work. Throw in permits to the mix for a utility company, which means government involvement, and that's a little more time.
I don't think a single person on this board would say that any government moves fast, and often is the bottleneck in any project.
IMO, there's still plenty to be seen with GESI. We're all on the outside looking in and just assuming what should be done, and assuming how long things should take but in the reality of all of it: not a single one of us has ever managed a project like this so we really can't say what something should or shouldn't be.
I can say this, from a logical point of view, the things GESI has completed or alerted the public to makes sense in an orderly fashion.
Its more normal than you think. I received an invoice from a vendor I work with this week for something they did back in March of this year. This has happened regardless of the size of the company I outsource work to. Sometimes its immediate, sometimes its a bit afterward.
So, that answers that.
BLDW - Making a name for itself in the green/renewable energy sector and is capitalizing on LED lighting boom due to the US and much of the rest of the world's plans to stop manufacturing incandescent bulbs. Their products are already being used by Kohl's department stores, including their very own building top turbines and also the new Citycentre development in Houston with more to come.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-out_of_incandescent_light_bulbs#Federal_legislation
There's a lot of lighting out there that'll need to be replaced, and BLDW can clearly see a market that needs their help.
Oh yeah, float is only 10 million :)
Keep it on your watch list if you decide to pass. I guarantee you'll be kicking yourself for not doing more than that later. This is a real company with actual products, not an OTC/Pink that's all hype. You can see some of them for yourself from their webcam feed here:
http://buildingturbines.com/live-video-austin.php
$IFTF$
PS: Stop on by the BLDW board if you're curious & would like to learn a little more.
More people care more about the fact that companies and residences are adopting technologies like this, regardless of how they look. This number of people appears to be growing, and younger generations will keep this mentality as they grow & as new generations of people come. The demographics of target audiences that shop at Kohl's, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, etc.. love this sort of thing, and that demographic is continuing to grow.
Its the impression that companies and residences get for caring about the environment that will also help drive demand for technology and solutions like BLDW is providing.
The more money that flows into this industry, the more innovation we will see. What we're viewing now is only the tip of a very large iceberg. The green energy & renewable sector is the next big thing to come since the creation of the information technology markets, and these are some ground level prices when you think of it like that.
$IFTF$
$BLDW$! Jerseystrong, I would like to add more to your post if you don't mind. One of the things people tend to overlook is this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-out_of_incandescent_light_bulbs#Federal_legislation
If you look through the rest of the article, its not just the United States doing this. Its the rest of the planet as well.
All those bulbs need a replacement, and the cost of maintenance on CFL's over a 20 year period is enormous compared to that of a LED.
BLDW sees this opportunity, and they're damn smart for doing so!
Can't stress BLDW enough to fellow investors. Combine all of that, plus their turbine business and a low low float of 10M. Winner written all over it!
$IFTF$
The float is what catches my eye the most out of those figures. Perhaps I've been around the stock market for too long, but with the end of incandescent lighting coming, the demand for LED lighting will grow, and due to their efficiency, they'd be a great match for this company's turbines.
We're talking about nearly every single incandescent bulb in the US being a thing of the past within 10 years. Think about that for a minute.
BLDW all the way.
$IFTF$
Incandescent bulbs will no longer be manufactured soon, and there's global coordination going on to make sure that happens. The US has mentioned this for years, and we're approaching that time. BLDW is smart to embrace the LED market, because quite frankly there's a lot of lights that will need replacements. CFL's are a joke and cost more in the long run. LED's can last for decades.
I like where this is going.
$BLDW$ news out. Keep this one on your watch lists!
