Holter - Don't be naïve. Just saying. LOL!!!
Then WHY does Yankeedave post negative comments on other stocks like ZERO? He's an expert in both the grocery business and in the oil patch. I think not! The Simple Truth: He's either a sh#rtr or a paid b@shr.
Guys and Gals - Yankeedave will not be at the ALKM shareholder meeting. Why? Because he works for the s#ortrs. He's a paid b@s#r. That's why he's not listening. Every time you respond to his posts, he gets paid $$$. Put him on IGNORE and you don't have to read his negative comments that will never stop cause he's not an investor.
It doesn't get any better than this:
"Money in the bank?"
Whacky, no worries. TC, KM, or Newfield have more than adequate working capital available to finance the purchase of AOTs from STWA. I know this is not the point of your post. However, what I'm saying is that IF Gregg et al need $$$$ to finance the manufacture of multiple AOTs concurrently, their customers will pony up the capital via a short-term loans to STWA in order to make this happen.
Even IF these substantial customers could not or would not provide this capital, Gregg, as a former banker, understands how to "factor" his AOT receivable contracts in order to get funding from a major financial institution (bank) in order to make this happen.
It's all good.
Zerosum - All true. Most important, COMPETITION will soon pervade the STWA/TRP/KM negotiations. Who'll get their order in first is absolutely the most critical question to be answered by the TRP/KM contract negotiators. The AOT is not a widget that can be produced "on demand" based on orders signed. It takes months to produce one of these sophisticated technological devices. To be sure, as orders increase over time, the AOT production timeline will decrease due to efficiencies learned in the production lines. However,for now, get in line if your order is SECOND.
TRP, KM - THE RACE IS ON!!!
Baker Hughes says in preliminary merger talks with rival Halliburton
Reuters — 5:35 AM ET 11/14/14
Oilfield services provider Baker Hughes Inc (BHI) said on Thursday it is in preliminary merger talks with its larger rival Halliburton Co (HAL), though any potential deal would likely face antitrust concerns. Two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Halliburt... Read the Entire Article

So true, Whacky. I've been a party to many NDAs between Fortune 100 companies involving high technology applications/products. Mostly, these are mutually restrictive agreements intended to protect both parties from outsiders attempting to preempt or take advantage of an imminent agreement between the NDA parties who wish to do business with each other. The NDA is needed to protect each company as they negotiate the terms of the agreement. Without an NDA, both parties could be raked over the coals by their competitors' blogging minions who wish either or both companies ill will. We see this today with the so-called gang of 5 or 6 posters who constantly rip both STWA and "less so" TC for their interest in this NEW TECHNOLOGY.
It's just business. I totally agree with the person who just posted that the more this gang of 5 or 6 opines negatively about this potential deal with little to no factual backup to their arguments, the more I'm averaging down my holdings.
There will be a BIG PAY DAY very soon, I assure you.
Cheers to ALL ZERO LONGS!!!
I want to hear from Smile AOT Works...Why? Because he says that he's a member of a group of ZERO longs who own MILLIONS of shares. Certainly Smile and this group of deep-pocketed investors know something more about the true meaning of this very ambiguous 10Q?
WORD UP, FML2013!
Timvan51 - Can you clarify for us. You're selling what % of your holdings? For what reasons? Just curious inasmuch as you have appeared to be a long-term holder of ZERO. Best of luck to you.
UPLISTED! That game-changing AOT contract cannot be very far behind now. GO ZERO!!!
Right On, Brother DPS!
Slim152 - It's probably these guys:
SANTA BARBARA, CA, Jul 08, 2014 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- STWA, Inc. (otcqb:ZERO), a developer of integrated solutions for the energy industry, announced today strategic partnerships for investor relations, corporate communications and investment banking with Stonegate Securities.
THANK YOU a thousand times over, 321zero....You ROCK!!!
Whacky - I prefer Hokum's Razor. Agree with you explicitly! We need STWA management to EXPLAIN something/anything in a GOOD Press Release that apparently they're now paying for with shareholder $$$ to a professional PR writing firm. Otherwise, this stock price is going to further deflate in the coming weeks to our collective dismay.
Tedco - $200 per share? WOW! So uncharacteristically OPTIMISTIC of you. I love your change of heart lately.
This is going to be a FANTASTICO next 30 days for ZERO shareholders. The best of luck to you all.
Cheers!
I agree, Moorea9, that there's no need for gamesmanship between TC and STWA in this contract negotiation. Why not? They are PARTNERS in a revolutionary energy saving, carbon footprint reducing technology!
Why would TC want to take advantage of a partner that they will either ACQUIRE in time or totally depend upon to provide them with UNITS of this revolutionary game changing pipeline technology?
HELLO! Where's the business logic in cannibalizing the entity upon which your future competitiveness relies? Answer: There is NO LOGIC in TC playing hardball in such negotiations. Both TC and STWA want a WIN-WIN deal because both need each other for long-term competitiveness and viability.
As for WHEN, I also agree this deal will be finalized BEFORE Dec. 31st this year.
Merry Christmas, Everyone!
Nice to see this pony run. Go ZERO-biscuit!!!
OK - Here's my alternative ZERO Valuation.
STWA Stock Valuation
Assumes “Successful” TransCanada AOT Pilot – Oct., 2014
* Total of U.S. liquid petroleum pipeline system = 180,000 miles (1)
* Estimated pumping stations on U.S. pipeline network (180,000 / 75 mi) = 2,400 pumping stations
* Price negotiated by STWA for TransCanada to purchase a single AOT next year = $4.3 million (2)
* TransCanada’s AOT test proves viable and profitable; all of their pipeline competitors purchase and install AOTs across the U.S. petroleum pipeline network = STWA Revenues of $10.3 billion
* Assume it requires 60 months to build and install 2,400 AOTs = 1 Yr. STWA Revenues of $2.0 billion
* Assume Cost of Goods Sold of 20% (80% X $2.0 billion) = 1 Yr. STWA Before Tax Profit of $1.6 billion
* Assume a U.S. Corporate Tax Rate of 30% = 1 Yr. STWA Net Profit of $1.1 billion
* Assume 250 million shares outstanding with Authorized Share Increase (12/16/2013) = $4.40 EPS
* If we assume a Price / Earnings Multiple of 15X, STWA’s common stock value = $66.00 per share
* If we assume an approximate EPS of $4.40 in “perpetuity” ($4.40 / 10% ROI on similar investments), STWA’s common stock value = $44.00 per share
So, we’ve got an STWA Share Valuation range of $44 to $66!!!
(1) American Petroleum Institute (2013): More than 180,000 miles of liquid petroleum pipelines traverse the United States. They connect producing areas to refineries and chemical plants while delivering the products American consumers and businesses need. Pipelines are safe, efficient and, because most are buried, largely unseen. They move crude oil from oil fields on land and offshore to refineries where it is turned into fuels and other products, then from the refineries to terminals where fuels are trucked to retail outlets. Pipelines operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
(2) 9/30/13 10-Q (pg. 16): Company will deliver the equipment to TransCanada to be installed and placed in operation by TransCanada, at TransCanada’s expense, on a date estimated to be no later than March 1, 2014. The initial term of the lease is six (6) months at a rate of $60,000/month, with an option to extend the lease for an additional eighty-four (84) months. TransCanada has an option to purchase equipment during the term of the lease for approximately $4.3 million.
Agreed. At near $.50 there are many investors who bought during the last pump on this stock which occurred in early June. Now they see their oppty to break-even. They're getting out with a wipe of the sweat from their brows.
This stock is going higher...no doubt about it. The MO is too strong for the moment.
GLTA!
"Golden Cross"
The golden cross is a chart pattern created when a shorter term moving average was below a longer term moving average, but it crosses above that moving average. This is typically seen as a bullish signal.
The golden cross is mostly used with longer term moving averages. It’s an especially strong signal when the 50 day moving average crosses above the 200 day moving average.
We just broke the 200 day Moving Average and in a few more days, perhaps as early as next week, ALKM will be setting up a Golden Cross. I'm holding on for the BIG RIDE once that happens.
Cheers to all!!!
Completely on the same page with you, DJPB1984!
ALKM showed profits last quarter. They're marketing team is just getting started with new distribution agreements across the N. America. Tons of celebrity endorsements.
We're just getting started with this stock's run up.
Cheers!
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, DJPB1984! Those naysayers are simply crying over spilt milk because they didn't have the cojones to take a risk on ALKM and Statler. If you don't buy a ticket, you don't get to take the ride HIGHER with the rest of us. GLTA!!!
So TRUE, Tedco!
Take a look at this report as of yesterday...
ZERO's Daily Short Volume
Note: Go to top of page; key "ZERO" into the search field; wait for the report to load.
What you're going to see is that, as of Friday, 71% of the volume was short volume. MM's and Shorts are the ONLY buyers and sellers nowadays.
That can only mean...
KAAAAABOOOOM!!! in the very near future.
Thank You, Colonel Mustard!
If you're no longer invested, WHY are you posting here?
Some STUBBORN FACTS for potential ZERO investors to consider...
* PRC is all but sponsoring STWA as it spreads the news of the AOT among its Fortune 100 pipeline operator members worldwide.
* TC ran a successful test of the AOT this summer. Their engineers & management decided to terminate the test contract early due to (IMO) unexpectedly great results.
* KM signed a test contract for another version of the AOT this summer. KM will likely start testing before the year is out (IMO).
* Competitive interest in the AOT system is led by 2 of the largest pipeline operators in the world.
* Short Interest in ZERO for September is running around 25% of daily average volume.
* Naysayer traffic on this board is steadily increasing in intensity.
LIKELY OUTCOME = SHORT SQUEEZE
ZERO Long & Strong!!!
ALKM is on track to achieve its short-term marketing plan with new celebrity endorsements and more contracts with leading distributors in new geographies.
Wait till the next PR comes out. It's going to ROCKET this stock!!!
A supportive note to ALKM investors from Statler this morning:
AVAILABLE TO BORROW TO SHORT ALKM
As time goes on, the market makers and short sellers have to either cover their positions or fin legitimate borrow for their ALKM shares.
This causes The Frenzy which all my picks are famous for...So now we just sit and wait patiently like we always do...
Patience is a virtue...
For all of those patient enough to see this through - I beleve there could be an EPIC explosion ALKM ...
And I hope you are there to take advantage of it...
Yesterday created a unique opportunity for our loyal readers to consider ALKM at deeply discounted prices.
If you have not already done so - I strongly suggest that you add ALKM to your trading radar IMMEDIATELY...
Happy Trading!
Just to echo Tedco's post....
Over the past several months, the MMs & short interests have had their way with ZERO's pps movement. Yes, they've taken it down a notch or two with impunity. Note that it seems stuck to a floor of $0.50 per share nowadays. Curious?
The question is WHY? The reason, as Tedco so astutely implies, is that most of us investors at this juncture are LONG-TERM HOLDERS of MATERIALLY LARGE STAKES in STWA's stock (because we BELIEVE IN IT). Sure there may be, here and there, a few minor holders -- the so-called "weak hands" as they've been labeled. But these minor holders don't have much stock to sell. Hence, the MMs & short interests are having some challenge getting this pps to fall below a certain level that is supported by NO INVENTORY OF STOCK TO SELL.
So, where does that leave the MMs and short interests? Simply put, it leaves them without SELLERS of ZERO, which means they become FUTURE short-interest bag holders in the reverse sense of that term with no one to sell them the shares they need to GET OUTmof ZERO when it rockets to the stars.
MMs & Shorts, BYE BYE.
Thanks for sharing, Marshall4225!
Snowy - What's your point? You don't like Valenti? You don't like STWA because they don't defend attacks? I'm confused. You don't even care enough to remember the attack URL. Then why should the rest of us care? Why should STWA care? Methinks you're punking us.
GO ZERO!!!
I'm with you, Wacky, on the immediacy of making a decision. Why on earth would a Fortune 50 company NOT have dozens of engineers and financial analysts working on their AOT-ROI analyses 24X7 from last March until now?
Look, the viscosity reduction benefits of AOT have been validated by everyone and his brother by now. For every day TC delays a decision to install multiple AOTs on their pipelines, they are losing MILLIONS of dollars. You don't stay on the top of your industry by displaying to your competitors a RELUCTANCE TO MAKE A GOOD BUSINESS DECISION.
Come on, guys/gals, it's ridiculous to believe TC is going to wait to make this decision 3,4,5,6 months post-Oct. 15th. Their competitors are wolves at their door. If they don't buy, KM will buy and get their order in ahead of TC thereby delaying TC's benefits by a year or more. That would mean BILLIONS in OPPORTUNITY COST.
I don't see it happening that way. It's too counter-intuitive and illogical in a business sense.
321zero, great video! Thanks for taking the time to prove to the naysayers here that the AOT is still REAL and continues to WORK HARD for ZERO's long-term investors. IMO, our time is near. GLTA!
Waveslave - I've got the same challenge as Tyberio. Fidelity will not allow a trade with a price so distant from the actual price that only a Black Swan Reversal event would force the price of ZERO to make such a move skyward that my Good Till Cancelled price would execute.
Further, I've been very meticulous in how I've acquired ZERO over the years. I can't take the risk today of a moderately high price move being executed for a large percentage of my holdings that would render null all of the patient acquiring I've done in anticipation of what we all expect will soon be the reward for which we've all been waiting.
To heck with the short sellers. Let them have their pennies on the short-term volatility in this stock. I'm happy for them. However, I'm even happier for all of you long-term ZERO holders because we KNOW how this story is going to play out in the not too distant future.
BOOOOOOM!
Alkalinesolution1 – I’m allowed only 1 post per day by admin??? I can only assume that’s because my posts are so compelling. .
“Transcanada already has 35,500 miles of pipelines transporting energy product today. If STWA’s AOT is placed at every 50-75 miles of the existing pipeline length, that’s a sales potential of over 400 units at $1.2 million each or more.”
My point is that the “economic benefit” of the AOT goes to Transcanada’s existing upstream customers in my earlier example noting $90/barrel revenue.
Forget my example. If Transcanada’s customers realize substantially higher revenues due to greater product sales from improved pipeline throughput potential of the AOT, Transcanada will be forced to compete and install the AOT across its existing 35,500 mi. pipeline system at a potential cost of $480 million (400 units at $1.2 million each).
How does any economic benefit accrue to Transcanada?
1) Transcanada passes on the cost of the AOT to their upstream oil producing customers in the form of $480 million in added transport fees thereby recovering this cost of enhancing their existing pipeline infrastructure.
Why would Transcanada’s upstream customers pay an additional $480 million in transport costs?
2) Because they stand to earn billions in incremental revenues due to the increased throughput of their oil products being transported via Transcanada’s “AOT enhanced” pipeline system.
Why else would Transcanada want to install the AOT on their entire pipeline system?
3) As reported in an earlier STWA shareholder update from their former president Cecil Kyte, Transcanada potentially would save an estimated $10 million annually in fuel costs per pumping station by installing STWA’s AOT system. For their existing 35,500 mile pipeline network, there would be approximately 400 pumping stations X $10 million = $4 billion in annual fuel cost savings to Transcanada.
Bottom line: Transcanada SAVES $4 billion per year in lower pumping station operating costs; their upstream customers EARN billions more revenues per year due to greater oil product sales; Transcanada RECOVERS their $480 million investment in AOT by passing this cost along to their upstream customers. Looks like a WIN-WIN-WIN proposition to me.
Hmmm, just like being a ZERO long-term investor. ?
