I agree ETIM is in excellent position right now.. I'm just saying that Hillenbrand has shareholders to take care of just like ETIM does.
If Batesville caskets lose $40m/year in revenue to a rising competitor, Hillenbrand isn't just going to sit there and go "Gee, Aww Shucks".
They will become very aggressive against Eternal Image and they have the financial resources to make things happen.
Isn't this what investor forums are for? Discussing the good and the bad? Seems like if you question anything you get your throat jumped on.
J-Rhino.. I do fully expect Hillenbrand to make an offer to ETIM shareholders to swallow up our company within the next couple years.
It best be a good one. At current share structure.. even 10 cents is just $250m market value (considered a microcap). We'd be selling ourselves short.
Oh yea Joey?
Information Required for Pre-Qualification. You will be required to submit the following pre-qualification information:
b. Two years of audited financial statements and/or two years of company tax returns;
What company tax returns do we have? Ones with zero on them?
And if you think Hillenbrand is going to just sit on the sideline and let their market share go amuck, then you haven't been in business before have you?

Sorry to burst your bubble. We've been manufacturing for what? 3 or 4 months now? We have yet to release audited financials.
Redwing91.. They will probably fire up the share printing press again. Every PR surrounding this company is nothing but hype.
PLNI is flat broken busted, yet they have the funds to buy a company that turns $80m/rev year?
Can you say 500 billion shares?
Based on what I've seen in NFL's Licensing requirements. It won't be until late 2009/early 2010 before Eternal Image becomes qualified for an NFL license.
We may make a significant inroad into Hillenbrand's market share by then and it's likely they will become interested in branded caskets and will be in a better position to snatch up the license from us (because they've been around longer.. one of the pre-requirements is you must have 3 years experience in manufacturing and distribution).
NFL license is way, way down the road and seems a longshot even then.
My major concern is someone like Batesville waking up and realizing the potential here, and swooping in with their big money to beat back Eternal Image for the NFL Licensing.
jskibla.. I'm talking about the trade costs. $15 trade at .0008 would be 18750 shares or $63 today.. If you're doing that every single day, you're leaving alot of shares in the hands of MMs.
Thank you sir. I know there are others who agree with us, but are afraid to state their point at fear of being lynched (I've received PMs from a few of them).
Thank you MrSparks. I admit some wrongdoings and perhaps rubbing people the wrong way and I apologize. But I for one do not see why there must be so anger towards me and my position of wanting to keep this stock price down so I can accumulate more shares. I would also like to make open counter-arguments and disagreements with the chartists and short-term fluffers of this stock without the attacks and name-calling.
I appreciate you stepping in, and again I apologize for my fault in this disruption, but I would still like to air my opinions without being attacked.
Superbee.. do you even read my posts before you reply? I never said you had to check with anyone and never said you didn't have the right to do it.. I'm just stating the fact that it's a waste of money.
Oh you're certaintly entitled.. It's a free country. You're still flushing thousands of dollars down the toilet when you do it (But you're right 25k is chump-change when you're very likely to become a multi-millionaire from this company with the number of shares you own).
peterush.. have you actually read any of my posts? I'm one of the few on here who actually post revenue and earnings guidances on projected sales. One of the few who post financials from competitors. One of the few who posts data on the funeral industry.
Everyone else here is worried about minute little upticks and painting the tape, instead of accumulating the most shares they possibly can for the big run.
fivestar. You are entitled to paint the tape. It's still a waste of money and not smart.
I understand stockwiser.. But she's placed these new orders at the end of every trading day. 5 trades a week to paint the tape instead of using all her cash at once to buy lots more shares at .0027.
Why not just buy all the shares you can possibly buy on Monday?
Truufinator. zero chance. I don't think we'll see .01 until May or so or whenever the uplisting occurs. $1.00 in 3-4 years maybe.
Why don't just buy as many shares as you can in one order is my point, instead of paying all these trading fees just to "paint it".
Sorry. I'm a penny pincher. 25000 extra shares today is $25k at 1.00 a share 3 or 4 years from now.
You made a good investment friend.
$17*5 days = $85 or 25000 shares. I'd rather have those shares than worry about "painting" the tape at the end of the day which is meaningless in terms of what the stock is going to do in either the short-term, intermediate-term, or long-term.
What can I say though.. I just like money.
I believe that flurry of green and volume at .0035 was a short position cover limit order being triggered.
I'm hanging around to keep you guys from withholding key information about the subscribed stock conversion from potential new investors.
Turning around? The stock price is flatlined and more shares are expected to come into the market this quarter.
Turning around? The only thing being turned around are PLNI shareholders by the Turek spin machine.
bartermania.. So you think investors should be going long and purchasing stock in a company that keeps issueing new shares, keeps losing more money, and routinely falling behind on releasing financial information??
You aren't making much sense right now.
successinstock.. Put in a sell order for .0004.. That won't get filled either.
The stock is just space junk right now. Don't worry, you'll get your .0003 once this subscribed stock conversion goes through.
bartermania.. Occam's Razor. What's more likely: A) The stock is down because of naked short selling or B) The stock is down because the company has no profits and continues a pattern of issuing new shares and dillution.
You just need to wake up to reality here. If the stock were making money, Turek could flush out shorts with a dividend. Unfortunantly for PLNI shareholders, PLNI hasn't shown the ability to produce a single dime in profit.
successinstock. It looks like you shareholders took classes from ol Jimbo on how to spin.
BTW.. Last trade, 0.0003. PLNI flat again. Thanks for playing.
bartermania, you can ignore this fact that there's over $7m in subscribed stock owed to PCI and Lexreal. You can hold your breath until your blue in the face about it. That doesn't change the matter that it ACTUALLY EXISTS.
maybegte.. It was reported in the latest quarterly financial report (that was almost a year late), that PCI and Lexreal are owed over $7m in subscribed stock, which they offered to convert at .00011 or around 64.8 billion shares. The corporate attorney recommended to PLNI to accept the deal.
Fire up the printing press Jim.
Thank your lucky stars that TD Ameritrade won't let you buy this stock before it begins trading at .00011 once the subcribed stock to PCI and Lexreal is converted.
Been reading the PRs and I must say that I've never seen a Chief Executive Officer as immature and unprofessional as this douchebag.
PLNI up 33%? LOL.. You mean trading between the toilet paper ask of 0.0003 (White Cloud) and 0.0004 (Charmin Ultra) like its been doing for the past month.
Not a single share added to the O/S since mid-January.. Rule 504 completed. Promise from a so-far, very trustworthy and honest CEO not to issue any more shares.. Thanks for asking..
However.. The first time they add a new share, I'll be selling. I won't be sticking around with my head in the sand like many on this board did.
There's a difference between ETIM and PLNI.. ETIM will be doing about $8m in revenue with $1.5m-$2m in actual company earnings in fiscal year 2007.
Still amazingly cheap for a stock that I honestly believe will report 2007 revenue around $8,000,000 and actual earnings somewhere around $0.0008 EPS for 2007 (4.25 P/E)
When the revenues/profit numbers hit the wires after each quarter, this stock will take off.
BTW gerlac68.. What's ETIM doing today.. What's PLNI doing today on their "Big Acquisition" ?
Just curious how your investment is working out for you.
stokednvegas, I would expect the words "Reverse/Split" will be heard at the Shareholders meeting as part of the future "plan" going forward.
Congratulations
Repost: Quick Math Tidbits and Batesville Caskets financials.
"Nearly 30 funeral homes in this region have requested contact with an EI distributor, and our agreement with Ohio Vault Company paves the way for these businesses to obtain an ongoing supply of our products," said Clint Mytych, president, Eternal Image.
If each of these 30 funeral homes in the Ohio/Western PA areas sell just 1 single $600 Vatican Library urn per month. (very conservative estimate, these urns are breathtakingly beautiful and will be in extremely high demand).
$18,000 high profit margin revenue per month
$216,000 high profit margin revenue per year
What does that one little area cover? About 1% of the United States? And we're not even talking about the $3000+ caskets yet which have even greater profit margins than the urns.
1 Casket per Funeral home in Ohio/W.PA per month?
$90,000 extremely high profit margin revenue per month
$1,080,000 extremely high profit margin revenue per month
The fundamentals of this company is just mind boggling. I'm sticking to my revenue estimates of $7m-$8m for this year.. But I would not be surprised if it exceeded $10m. And the longshot potential is actually there for demand to exceed even our wildest imaginations and hit $15m-$20m.
Batesville Caskets, a subsidiary of Hillenbrand Industries (NYSE: HB) reported $162.2 million in revenue for three months ending December 31, 2006.
Income from this segment (including cost of goods and administrative costs) was $44.3 million. 27% of revenue.
So $10 million in Eternal Image revenue = $2.7m income? $0.00108 EPS, 2.87 P/E Ratio at yesterday's close of $0.0031.
More food for thought. Targeting .025-.03 by end of 2007.

You see why I'm not concerned with short-term fluctuations with this stock?
