Assuming the booms are packed the standard way

Update from the City of Gulf Breeze, FL
The City of Gulf Breeze is monitoring the oil spill situation. Date: 06/25/10. There seems to be a large amount of oil outside the Pensacola Pass, we expect the City to be on high alert for the next 72 hours. The City is constantly monitoring and evaluating tides, winds and the prospect for impact. The bayous will be closed starting around 8:00 am, June 24th and will remain closed until to threat of oil passes.
Sold some of the shares I bought the last two days to book profits. Not too thrilled with today's action, and my indicators are stuck in neutral.
If I get to buy them back cheaper, great.
If not, I still have enough shares to wallpaper a room with the paper certificates. It's all good!
Have a great weekend, folks!!
bankshot, the problems in the Niger Delta have been going on for half a century. That's longer than I've been alive! Oil spills of the magnitude of Exxon Valdez for every year I have been alive!
(That's a lot of MOP!!!)
As long as oil money keeps finding the right hands (read as: the wrong hands) isn't this just the type of propaganda that would make Josef Goebbels proud?
This year is different? They found someone with a conscience who is not on the payroll? I hope he's smart enough to have 24-hour security, and get his family out of the country!
Don't forget: Nigeria supplies 40 percent of all the crude oil imported by the United States. We're fighting fires while we're feeding the flames here.
FWIW, Shell has been on my "do not buy" list for decades. F them!!!
The oil spills of [...] Nigeria
Oscar the Grouch!
He's 100% green, and lives in recyclable waste. Too obvious?
Agreed. My indicators are targeting 0.27-0.275 area.
There is a volumetric shelf that we need to bust over, then we begin an assault on Mount 0.35. (0.32 area looks like resistance as well.)
Are you seeing something along those lines as well?
Today's MOPN Poll
I would rather watch:
(a) Paint peeling
(b) Two ninety year-old men playing chess
(c) Grass growing
(d) The last half hour of "trading" on MOPN
Number of households is irrelevant.
18.8 square miles is the number given as surrounded by water on three sides of the city.
Whether there are 5 houses, or 50,000 built on it, it's the surface area that needs protection, not the house, right?
(Yes, I know, not all of the 18.8 sq. miles will need MOP, but you get the drift...)

Edit: The PR refers to private use by oceanfront property owners. I have no idea what percentage that encompasses.
What about the public areas? They're going to wait for BP? I wouldn't.
Is it the Gulf Breeze news?
It was posted here three nanoseconds afterwards...
I wonder if the fact that a "real" PR wasn't issued, and that some posters are asking "What's the news?" means that some people are still not up to speed yet?
Adding shares here... anybody else?
That's a great point! Maybe both companies are generating revenue through this partnership. Well done!!!

Could it have something to do with the carbon negative energy facility in the works - in the long run?
At this point, "partner" may mean nothing more than MOPN using one of their kiosks to recycle materials on site, or sponsoring a kiosk in the Bath, NH area, or just simple recognition on the Greenopolis.com site that helps get their company name in front of eco-conscious businesses & consumers.
Look, anybody who runs an Amazon or eBay affiliate website is considered a "partner". LOL! The word can be very misleading.
Common sense dictates that if Waste Management was using MOP products in their facilities, it would have been worthy of a PR already, and it would be generating considerable revenue. Like Russell 2000 type of revenue. Yes?
Given Mr. Diamond's & Mr. King's long history with social responsibility, I wouldn't add a premium to the MOPN stock price based on this - at this time.
Experiment: If anybody here has a "green" company, I suggest that you try to join Greenopolis as a partner, and let's see if you get your own page as well.
I believe your username says it all, doesn't it? LOL!
Picked a good day to add shares, that's for sure. Depending on what I see on the open, I'll be looking for more. This should turn a lot of skeptics into believers.

Search on (our) MOP comes up empty so far... may be worth keeping an eye on in the next few days/weeks.

AP News from Gulf Breeze...
Oil spill volunteers looking for way to help
GULF BREEZE, Fla. — Debbie Gunnoe wanted to work as a volunteer cleaning tar balls and oil from the sugar white beaches of Florida Panhandle that she loves so much, but she's been rebuffed.
BP PLC has turned away Gunnoe and other would-be volunteers because the oil giant is using only paid and trained workers to clean up the mess caused by its oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Instead, the retired Air Force lieutenant colonel and nearly 70 other like-minded citizens are helping in a less direct way as visitor information volunteers at the Gulf Islands National Seashore. They are being stationed at various National Seashore areas to answer visitors' questions, report sightings of tar balls, oil or oil-soaked wildlife and offer safety tips - the oil is classified as a hazardous material.
"I'm quite concerned about our way of life and I'm frustrated with what's going on," said Gunnoe, 55, of nearby Navarre. "It's the first opportunity I've heard where the people who live in the area can actually get out and do something and make a difference."
Gunnoe is among 48 people who signed up after a pair of training sessions Sunday at the National Seashore's headquarters in this Pensacola suburb. They will join 20 others previously trained, including Tony Mitkevicious, 62, a retired civil service worker from Pensacola.
"It's beautiful out here," Mitkevicious said Monday at the National Seashore's Opal Beach area. "I see dolphins every day out in the gulf, sting rays, a lot of fish. I meet a lot of people from all over and they're really nice."
As Mitkevicious spoke a BP cleanup crew began looking for oil and tar balls, but he doubted they'd find any. He said he already had walked the beach and didn't see anything.
Each volunteer is committed to spending at least one three-hour shift each week for three months at beaches on a pair of barrier islands or the Seashore's campground.
"One of the biggest things for us is that the gulf has seen its share of disasters - natural - but this is something they haven't seen and there's a lot of questions and a lot of confusion," said park ranger Kirby Shedlowski, who is on loan from Fort McHenry in Baltimore. "By having volunteers out on the beaches talking to the public it's allowing that stream of information to get out."
The volunteers also can serve as a sounding board for visitors who are frustrated or angry about the spill and keep them from distracting BP cleanup crews, Shedlowski said. She told them, though, that they must keep their opinions to themselves.
Finally, the program is a response to the pent up frustration that Gunnoe and others have experienced about being shut out of the recovery effort.
"This is giving them an outlet, for them to feel like they are doing something, talking to the public, which is very important," said Sarah Codde, another ranger on temporary duty from Point Reyes National Seashore, Calif.
Pat Schlueter, 64, a mechanical engineer who retired to Navarre from Indianapolis, tried to volunteer with a local wildlife refuge, offering to help clean up birds and other creatures, but said he ran into a Catch 22.
"You've got to be licensed," Schlueter said. "You have to be experienced to be licensed, but you have to have a license to get experience."
He also took hazmat training for people seeking BP cleanup jobs in hopes that he could, instead, volunteer for that work. Again he was rebuffed, but he doesn't want to take a paid job he doesn't need.
"The pay is good and there are a lot of people out of work who can really use it," he said.
The volunteers include a Perdido Key couple who have had more free time lately due to the spill.
Michael Bounds, 62, is a sound engineer for bands that are having difficulty finding gigs because attendance at night clubs is down. His wife, Sue, 54, is a bookkeeper for an antique shop and other businesses.
"If they close, I close," she said.
It's more than just having more time, though, Michael Bounds said.
"I believe in public service; in this case it's almost a personal service because we live in Perdido Key," he said. "My wife has been so upset lately that we talked to one another and figured out something we could do to help, and this is what we could do."
Gunnoe said she's still frustrated she can't do more to protect what she considers her home.
"What are they going to do if I show up with a scooper and plastic bags or a bucket to put this in?" she asked. "They need to deal with people like me and not turn us away."

Gulf Breeze, FL on "High Alert"! MOP to the rescue!!
06/23/10. There seems to be a large amount of oil outside the Pensacola Pass, we expect the City to be on high alert for the next 72 hours. The City is constantly monitoring and evaluating tides, winds and the prospect for impact. The bayous will be closed starting around 8:00 am, June 24th and will remain closed until to threat of oil passes.
Santa Rosa County Emergency Operations has asked that you please report any sighting of oil to BP at (866) 448- 5816.
Please, oh, please let it be female oil wrestling, and I get to MOP up the winner!
I bow to the Master. LOL! Well done!!
You owe me a beer!
PS if anyone can help me find the band who sings this 80's song I will buy them a beer in vegas. Lyrics go like this: Grey skies tonight, grey skies tonight, oh oh, oh oh oh ohhhh oh oh oh oh
Hit the mid Boll... retrace almost finished?
My indicators went on a sell at the open Monday, which was part of the reason why I sold a slug of shares. They were targeting the 0.165 - 0.185 area at the time.
Any TA geniuses on this board? What are your pixellated tea leaves telling you?
I'm looking to price improve and buy back some, if not all, of the shares I've sold already.
teens today... (Electrum, im talking about the stock price, not girls
topjet, there is definitely a contract between the two companies.
A purchase order by itself is not a contract, but once a vendor agrees to fulfill it, it becomes one.
MOPN has already completed their part of it. As of late last week, BP had not taken physical delivery.
Reading between the lines, management is doing what they should be doing, which includes preparing to ramp up production at a moment's notice.
Now we wait for the next chess moves to be played out. The wild card is that there is a third-party involved in this chess game.
Thinking about buying shares
I hope you got in at a sweet price. : )
maybe you should think about electing milk
The BP spotlight IS on MOPN!!
company left everyone in the dark
seems like teens here soon..
I'm on your case about your post.....
Wayne confirmed Friday that booms have not been shipped. BP keeps changing the destination for the delivery so until Wayne and Charlie get a final destination the booms are not being shipped. This is happening to other companies too. Call and confirm for yourself.
Whatever.I've got your #,now
Btw,I didn't find out from this board about Mop.
I don't like anyone playing games with my investment.
sounded really authoritative and could have dissuaded lots from getting into this play
And then you posted that you took profits! On what? Your posting results?!
It misled me!
your post should be nixxed and now!
finishgreen, read Post # 17534 (EOM)
Sold some shares and locked in profits.
What do I have in common with MOP? We're both 100% green!
What really infuriates me is all these reports on how they need to get their hands on as much boom as possible, especially the absorbent type that needs to be replaced eventually. Why they are even importing it from frickin' China - which means it is probably made with more toxic materials than the oil!
Fact: The Hopedale staging area has at least one BP employee whose job title contains the words Field Materials Coordinator.
Fact: The local Parish has a person whose job title is Boom Deployment Coordinator.
Fact: Oil companies like BP excel at large-scale projects, and all the logistics and project management involved with it.
Yet, with all these "food chains", they are ordering materials with no knowledge or idea of where they will be deployed?
Are they just stockpiling for future needs??
Good morning, rkor!
The Bloomberg article made the rounds all weekend long. Let's see how much fresh money comes into MOPN today.

I think it's our duty as citizens to report this.
From the moment this disaster began, the federal government has been in charge of the response effort. BP is operating at our direction.
So what is it that is unacceptable, the fact that they got the order but no direction where to ship it, or, that resources that could be used to fight the spill are not being utilized.
I'm not sure just what it is you expect the company to do?
If you spill oil, he will come.
Thanks, imperativity. In case nobody has figured it out yet, this is the first time I've taken a real vested interest in a Pink Sheet stock.

Don't know how relevant this information is for Pink Sheet stocks. Thought it was interesting that last Friday had the lowest percentage since the BP news came out, and IB shows 50,000 shortable shares, which is the highest number I've seen. Expectations are sideways and/or down?
I have also decided that starting tomorrow I will use all three of my phones, and call the company every 30 seconds until Tibet is free.
They owe me, because I am a shareholder, and I have a Yahoo! account.
My terms are unconditional.
I am Electrum, of Borg.
Resistance is futile.
