Here in Dallas there are rolling blackouts.
TXU is building coal burning plants that should take
years to complete.
Does anyone know if the energy cabins sold by FASC
can be used for air conditioning?
It will be interesting to see how the move to an exhange effects the pps. PBLS should do quite a bit better. jmho
you cant get stopped out of a penny stock they dont let you place stop losses on pinksheet stocks.
Some brokers will allow stop limits on penny stocks.
Every time I have used a stop limit, the mm's pick up the stock and I have to buy it back at a much higher price.
Looks like some of the non-pinks are turning green and
the market is slowly moving back upwards.
It is scarry how much power the fed chairman has, one
false move and the world markets could be wiped out.
Is it time to leave the market?
Looks like everything is turning red and getting
brighter every hour of everyday.
It could be the PBLS share buy back finaly taking effect.
There is a few things I would do before panicking.
Ameritrade is supposed to guarantee that you don't
lose money due to hackers.
First, I would change my password.
Second look at your account history.
Then look at how the money was dispensed,
a check should be to your home address.
Was it a bank transfer, should have gotten email.
It could be a matter of embezzlement from an
ameritrade employee.
Third, reconcile all transactions against your last
statment.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, for a minute there thought i was going crazy.
Earlier there was a lot of talk on the board of
having to hold until June 2. I think some have held
due to this perception.
Not a basher, my warning just might be a heads up.
Still holding strong, yet willing to pick up more
shares if I am correct and price takes a short dip.
I think the dividend is being paid because Tyche energy
is being spun off from Bign.
We will need significant new on Monday to keep the
stock from tanking big time.

The whole market seems to be taking a dive right now.
A R/S is not always a bad thing nor is it inevitable.
The news release also mentioned the OTCBB, which
could mean a later move to the Nasdaq. JMHO
You might call them on the phone and ask them and see if the
difference in cost is worth it. At least you will
know why you can't trade.
Yep, that must be why patience is a virtue...
One must realize that AMEP counts days differently than
what shows up on a calanedar. Their days seem to be
a lot longer. According to my unscientific calculations,
a few days roughly equals a couple of months, JMHO
I just bought a boatload more.
Considering the attitude of management, I keep thinking
that PPBLs mangagement might desire to take this company private.
The whole reason to take the company public was to
generate revenue to start rebuilding the levies.
PBLS is now generating enough revenue on its own that
selling stock and reporting to stockholders may no longer
interest management.
If this be the case, in the short run the stock will appreciate and in the long term any sellers would eventually not be
able to buy back into the stock.
This is just an unproven theory.
Does anyone want to have a contest to guess when BIGN
hits a dollar?
I think we can be there by October. JMHO
It has been my observation that right before a
holiday weekend the market goes down a bit.
It should recover around Tues or Wed of next week.
JMHO
Thanks, it is like if I can make it here, I don't
need to make it anywhere else.
No offense to all those New Yorkers.
Yesterday my portfolio was redder than a brand new
fire engine truck. Just wished for one stock to go green.
Wanted today's activity on AMEP yesterday. Patience is not
my best character trait.
I was slightly disappointed that the PPS didn't go up
today. It may take a couple of good solid PRs and
a good profitable quarterly statement.
Then again this could be the tank before the rocket burst.
I can't wait to see the next financial statement. This is a sale.
There should be two more shortly, as mentioned in the last statement (if I remember correctly).
SEOUL, KOREA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/18/2006 -- First American Scientific Corp (OTC BB: FASC), through its Licensee, "First American Scientific Korea," and in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment, Republic of Korea, is pleased to announce the sale of its new model KDS Micronex S-6.
Called the investor relations at BIGN and was told,
it most likely the shares purchased today would
receive the share dividends.
He also suggested I call the transfer agent to
make sure the shares were in my name.
My broker said the ex-div date was the 19th,
so that any shared owned when the market opens on
Friday would be eligible for the dividend shares.
I find this most confusing.
Ex-Dividend Dates:
When Are You Entitled to Stock and Cash Dividends
Have you ever bought a stock only to find out later that you were not entitled to the next cash or stock dividend paid by the company? To determine whether you should get cash and most stock dividends, you need to look at two important dates. They are the "record date" or "date of record" and the "ex-dividend date" or "ex-date."
When a company declares a dividend, it sets a record date when you must be on the company's books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. Companies also use this date to determine who is sent proxy statements, financial reports, and other information.
Once the company sets the record date, the stock exchanges or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. fix the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks two business days before the record date. If you purchase a stock on its ex-dividend date or after, you will not receive the next dividend payment. Instead, the seller gets the dividend. If you purchase before the ex-dividend date, you get the dividend.
Here is an example:
Declaration Date Ex-Dividend Date Record Date Payable Date
7/27/2004 8/6/2004 8/10/2004 9/10/2004
On July 27, 2004, Company XYZ declares a dividend payable on September 10, 2004 to its shareholders. XYZ also announces that shareholders of record on the company's books on or before August 10, 2004 are entitled to the dividend. The stock would then go ex-dividend two business days before the record date.
In this example, the record date falls on a Tuesday. Excluding weekends and holidays, the ex-dividend is set two business days before the record date or the opening of the market – in this case on the preceding Friday. This means anyone who bought the stock on Friday or after would not get the dividend. At the same time, those who purchase before the ex-dividend date receive the dividend.
With a significant dividend, the price of a stock may move up by the dollar amount of the dividend as the ex-dividend date approaches and then fall by that amount after the ex-dividend date. A stock that has gone ex-dividend is marked with an "x" in newspapers on that day.
Sometimes a company pays a dividend in the form of stock rather than cash. The stock dividend may be additional shares in the company or in a subsidiary being spun off. The procedures for stock dividends may be different from cash dividends. The ex-dividend date is set the first business day after the stock dividend is paid (and is also after the record date).
If you sell your stock before the ex-dividend date, you also are selling away your right to the stock dividend. Your sale includes an obligation to deliver any shares acquired as a result of the dividend to the buyer of your shares, since the seller will receive an I.O.U. or "due bill" from his or her broker for the additional shares. Thus, it is important to remember that the day you can sell your shares without being obligated to deliver the additional shares is not the first business day after the record date, but usually is the first business day after the stock dividend is paid.

One of the things I look at before member making someone is
to look back and see if that person has ever been in the Ihub jail, then look at the number of boards they post. Lots of
boards, lots of jail time means no credibility. JMHO
Little positive action on the pps. eom
When I think of PBLS, I no longer think of a diversified
company but envision a conglomerate with numerous subsidiaries.

If you notice on the 10QSB there a lot of things sold for
stock. If they need the money, they may have no choice but
to sell. JMHO
The 10QSB was pretty much what I expected. Next one should show a nice profit. Now all we need is to close those pending sales.
Beter yet if the company took the profits and started a share
buyback program. jmho
Mt guess is that it is one of the partners.
or the alfalfa growers co-op.
or is Hydro Quebec listed this way?

That statement might be quite a stretch. Bolivia is
South America's poorest country and exports 80% of
it natural gas. The country has been naturalizing
and denatualizing it since 1916. Bolivia will get
hungry before World supply feels any significant
impact. jmho

Original announcement of buy back of shares
took the pps down for three days.
Hopefully it won't be as long this time.
It appears that the MMs are running this stock down everyday
and then it recovers to a stable trading range. Looks like
they are picking up cheap shares due to panick selling. JMHO
If it does slip back, then consider it a buying opportunity.
These type stocks usually dip before they fly. JMHO
PBLS buyback program increases the earnings per share
when the financials finally do come out.
This is a really good thing! IMHO
