Thanks Skalube! I'll do that and will be fine.
I live in Texas....fun to joke about, but unfortunately not true. The behavior is not considered a crime and commonly done, and they will issue an unlimited number of marriage licenses to an individual, no bag limit. it happens all too often as I am told by those who see it a lot in their line of work.
Keep your nose clean, be safe, and justice will prevail.
I rolled out of a biotech start-up that had gone from about $7 to about $0.25 (later proven to be a scam built around great research and science, but bad business-some management will have new jewelry soon) and some blue chips in 1Q 2009, and into this after the crash of 2008 largely because of the excellent verifiable DD I found on this board and as a second factor my knowledge of the sector and what I thought would happen in the global economy. I am convinced, more than ever, that there is no better place to be for the forseeable future because I fully expect we are headed for a huge crisis in our economy.
The wife (2nd marriage) called me "stupid" and beat me up about it (literally and figuratively), but it was my money before we married 21 months ago that was involved-because she spent everything we made and then some. She, over the course of the next few months proved to be really abusive (especially after I sold my house and paid off her second mortgage) and so I hired a PI and learned I was her sixth husband, she had a criminal record and is actually a predator that has done well by assembling and disassembling relationships. I moved out on Dec 23 2009, filed for divorce on Dec 28 only to learn she had already filed. My realized position is a huge loss, but I have huge unrealized gains because of my decision.
Now, she is whining that I did nothing for "us" although I paid 2 years college for her daughter and plowed a huge amount of money (above my income) into the relationship as a result of her manipulation. Through "discovery" in this divorce, I predict she, motivated by greed and jealousy will be destroyed as she watchs my millions multiply while she drives herself to bankruptcy in legal fees trying to get a piece of it and she will fail in that. I am looking forward to going to Cabo with the crew in a few months.
Be careful in biotech, especially if it is a start-up jax.
Is that pic a sheep with a rocket launcher strapped on it? Ha!
Heck, we were still shy of 2.5 million in volume today but still up 10%. I bet some mo-mo money will be floodin' in before long and with that volume this pig will fly like the thing of beauty that she is.
Where's Fields today? I miss his sage technical analysis. What if we suddenly pop past $1.75 in a day's time....now that would be a wonnerful day, huh?
Must be. Short interest is looking good, so our elevator does not appear to be slowing down.

Does anyone besides me see something fishy about a 2.2 million share transaction that moved the SP only a penny?
The "perfect storm" of escalating prices and cheap feedstocks can create a lot of lift beneath our wings if it lasts long enough. I am glad I'm in for the ride, and been onboard as long as I have.
In time, this cannot be ignored or glossed over by any amount of rhetoric.

I think that is the crucial question, particularly when it comes to a debt for equity settlement because it will determine how much dilution occurs. Understanding the mechanism and rules for valuation and making sure that it fairly represents what can happen after bk is what I hope the EC can help accomplish.
I think the keys to this may be in understanding competitors business models and using them as benchmarks in each business segment along with some reasonable forecast of %utilization and pricing for the next few years might be very helpful for existing businesses as a foundation value, then there is IP and growth potential which can be a lot harder and tougher to agree on but is real and has to be added. These comments are coming from a guy who does drilling and completion of oil & gas wells, with little recent exposure to the chemicals business and who's A/D experience is far from recent so it's probably worth about what it cost you and that wasn't much.
A sense of humor is an important survival asset. I most often laugh at myself!
LOL!
As of 4 pm yesterday, that argument became so thin as to be a ridiculous waste of time and money to even have that argument, assuming there is any sincerity in their concerns about cost-which I really doubt. Creditors and Equity holders are at opposite ends of the interest spectrum, and of course they want the equity and equity holder's interests to be diminished so that they can butcher the company and take all the choicest cuts. It is crystal clear to me that they will find it very difficult to support an argument to do that now in the face of current facts and market conditions, and especially now that there is an EC which has good people with knowledge, resources, and spinal fortitude on it.
Smells almost like monopoly money to me:)! It is a big deal. Where to you get bromides in the USA? There aren't many sources folks and it is strategic stuff to all of us, it's just that most of us never see it and don't know it.
And that's why it's such a great thing you are on the EC. This is all about fair valuation!
We are ably represented by WS on the EC. I for one will miss his smart ass and colorful remarks as well as being able to razz him for a while, as I imagine he will not be able to post much as a result of his new position. It is a very good thing for us that he is there. Wall, your challenge now will be in being suitably PC as a member of the EC! Good Luck WS and Godspeed, I know you will remember where your friends are!
Yep, but we still like him. Reminds me of Roscoe P Coltrane in a way.
Agree, looked sloppy in 3rd quarter especially-2string had an arm but no aim and that was it. Who are them Ag's playing next, is that September 2010? Why don't you guys hire 'ol LEACH and keep it interesting the big 12 next year?
Turbosig, I think.
Guinness can help with stomach issues.
Now if you are having congestion with fever, there's my great great grandma's comanche indian remedy; 1/3 whisky, 1/3 lemon juice, and 1/3 local raw honey. Mix a 6 oz toddy of this stuff and then hit the rack.
A Guinness stout would be a good choice also. It has cured many ills. They even give it to pregnant women in Ireland and the UK because it has so many vitamins and minerals.

AWESOME! No excuses now, send in those forms! Thanks MC!
Gratefully acknowledged.
Cool! There's a passle of folks bought this stock in my west houston office after seeing what this has done for me.
Thks HF.
Stops are visible to MM's. Best not to use them. This thing is likely to be going up for a while anyway. There is no way I could have stayed in here since $0.035 if I had used stops, and I would have been robbed of profits and capital gains treatment. This thing is all about knowing what you own and confidence in it, not what the bid and ask is doing at any particular point in time, an that's my 2 cents.
I bet one of us could send or fax you a copy.
I never heard that before. What do they call the coach at A&M?

Wall, we all appreciate you, and it's OK where your from, I mean it's a big deal gittin' closer to this equity committee an all!
When I was little I learnt to never judge a man by where he's from or by what someone else in his family did but only for what that person did and you done good.

Texas doesn't have the money Harvard does, that's the only thing be we do the best we can, since the legislature a few years ago took what we'd built and used to fertilize and grow more aggies.
Yes, some of our family; Ray Morris an' his brothers was aggies too-so it's OK wall. There's no need to feel bad about it, it's still a good university where you set stuff on fire an' run around with swords in them hobnail boots an stuff. It's frustratin when them sod kickers up at Tech make them Vick-Em Tee Shirts and stuff though, I know. I scolded my boy real good when he done that cuz I know'd y'all were sensitive.
Heck I punched cows as a young-un an almost went there myself, but I mean, after all there's only one University in Texas that some call the "Harvard of the Southwest" and has all them national football championships, you know what I mean? That's why is is THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. It's all good, Wall, I mean Y'alls standin' has improved since I was a kid. I still think it's sad the way they make fun of y'all still, but it should get better with time, it always has :)
And then there are the CEMJQ LONGHORNS too!
I'm in cypress. Work in WestLake area.
Yeah, well wait until they find out about the mercury vapor in a lot of the shale and coal seam gas plays that are America's future.
I got mine in Houston Tx today, will fedex and fax tomorrow, and serve if asked. Bad timing for CEMM, he's outta pocket for a while, hope someone got word to him as he's on his game and would be a good one with Wall Street, Jaxstraw, HFields and many of you guys that are smarter than I am and with fewer rings in your circus (hopefully).
Hope DOJ will take a post office box for an address, as that may be my fixed point of reference for a while. My marriage just isn't working...tons of counseling can't fix a woman who decieves a man to marry her. At least I found out when I did, and she showed her true colors early on, almost immediately after I sold my house. I'm in good shape all things considered, just another 'thang to tackle.
Packing and moving is such a pain. We become slaves to our posessions.
Very nice analysis Mr. Fields. I don't thing $1.28 will stop us now, given what I think BV has done since last reported. It should be a nice ride up.
BRASSONES....sorry to hear about your illness, and the divorce too.
Don't let the divorce make it worse like I did. If you've been a family man a long time like I was here are two mistakes I made when I went through it...and maybe this will keep it from happening to you.
1) You served her enough. It's time to love yourself and take care of yourself as your #1 priority as you are now your own top priority dependent. Treat your body like it is a holy temple because it is. Make it a priority to to exactly what the docs say for you to. There is a lot of wonder and joy you haven't seen yet in this world, so be sure you are able to do it.
2) Be very slow about falling for the next woman that comes into your life. There are much worse things than loneliness, and many other ways to eliminate it from your life. There are women out there that are pro's at getting married and divorced, and they are preditors. Hire a PI and do a background check before you get serious or think about remarriage, not after when you are surprised at how she changed after marriage like I did.
Shoot WS, how do we know all these victims ain't just folks that was sniffin' paint using an old used popcorn bag behind the movie theater, and then when that got real sick they just called an ol ambulance chaser to find em a free ride an he figured he could call it popcorn lung an' just sue somebody to get himself rich? I see registered democrats in obama t-shirts doin stuff like that or with them popcorn tubs with eye hole cut outs over their heads at them Saint's games every time I go over to Louisiana.
Everybody knows sniffin' paint is bad for you an' they's a warnin right on the spray can! I've ate a lots of popcorn and never got anythin' but a 'lil gas which I releive often and painlessly-nothin' worth suein' orville reddenbacher, chemtura, betty crocker, and lil' debbie over it all the time! I see folks doin like me at the movies all the time an if it wus was really a big problem there'd be a popcorn lung clinic and law referral center in every wal-mart across the country.
Heck, if it's really like them ol ambulance chasers say, they outa be suin' them hollywood producer moguls and studios, cuz if they did't have them popcorn stands in them theaters then nobody'd be gettin it. I rarely see massive buttered popcorn like that anywhere else. Problem solved!
