ERUC's coming 4 you!..
1 ..2..
I'm struggling to not say things that would make me appear as ..well, stupid!
ETFC has BANK! BANK, BANK..BANK!
Don't believe me?...You'll see! =D~
Trying something positive to save the planet is being called, "criminal", and "fraudulent". Yet we know for a fact that the use of fossil fuels for energy is ruining the planet, and that is okay?
If cargo ships spill 100's of 1000's of gallons of oil it's called, "an unfortunate incident", and fines are slapped around and basically that is that..
Yet, a ship sinking is a positive! When have you ever seen a ship sunk that didn't have flourishing life that has sprouted upon the ship itself and the surrounding area. How is a rusty old sunken ship any different than micro-iron fertilization in the big scheme of things?
I just feel that there is too much hypocrisy surrounding this issue and the reasons to not try it are ludicrous.
These same naysayers are no different from the ones that don't believe that killing great white sharks off the coast of Hawaii, is causing the usually regulated (eaten by the great white sharks) tiger shark from running rampant and eating all the fish. In less than 3 years the fish supply around some of Hawaii's islands has decreased signicantly due to Tiger Sharks growing in numbers because Great White sharks were ordered to be killed in large numbers to make the beaches safe to swim in. Can you believe that? Humans either need to respect the ocean and take their chances swimming or DON'T SWIM. This phenom alone proves how dumb we can be. To save tourism we destroy the natural inhabitants of the ocean like the great white and immediately we see how it ruins the future of many things on a very large scale.
If the naysayers can't take into account that this is a positive attempt to offset what is inevitablely going to continue because China, India, Brazil, Russia, aren't going to stop trying to modernize.
For every cause there must be an effect...it is based solely on the effect that has led to the briliant and yet so simple solution to forcing the cause to slow down.
Ask yourself, does it seem plausible that any solution to slowing down carbon emmissions could be tried on a global scale with full global support other than stopping the use of what is causing the problem? USE OF FOSSIL FUELS!
Planktos just wants to reduce CO2 levels back to the way it was in the 1970's, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, as well as reflourish the plankton blooms because things were okay then. They have never touted trying to bring the planet back to just after the big boom! lol. It's just been in the last 30 years that things have escalated to be called a global concern/crisis.
Hugely populated emerging country's like China and India and even Russia are following right in the US's footsteps and using Fossil Fuel energy like crazy. This can not be stopped, in fact China alone is spending over 3% of it's GDP annually just to fight the pollution it is creating using oil and coal. They are using so much that it is causing the US to think that we should be concerned about inflation whilst in the middle of a mild recession! We are in uncertain and really quite scary times. imo.
If ideology outshines science then we are screwed imo.
According to the SB-2 filing on 12-10-2007 (Oct. 12th, 2007), the company was $10mil in debt..
Then these 2 very important things happened:

It's just amazing that anyone wouldn't take notice to these facts:
To dispel misleading information now circulating about Planktos tropical Pacific pilot work west of the Galapagos Islands, we would like offer the following facts.
The location of our first pilot bloom is over 300 miles west of the Galapagos in the same general area the first two National Science Foundation funded ocean iron fertilization trials were conducted over a decade ago.
This site was carefully chosen by the legendary John Martin of Moss Landing Marine Lab and the international team of ocean scientists who carried out the actual research. The success of the first two IronEx I and IronExII blooms was a tribute to the genius of Martin's "iron hypothesis" which first deduced the key role of micronutrient iron in sustaining plankton health and ecosystem productivity.
Another ocean science prodigy NASA's Gene Feldman is credited for catalyzing Martin's historic insight when he handed him the first satellite photos of the remarkable Galapagos plume. The plume is a lush and nearly constant plankton bloom that arises down current from the islands in an otherwise unproductive ocean region. It was long known that the volcanic understructure of the Galapagos was remarkably rich in iron compounds, but now Martin held in his hand dramatic photographic evidence that this profuse iron source was producing one of the most spectacular and consistent plankton blooms on the planet.
This was what Martin and his colleagues had been searching for, an ideal location to test his theory that iron deficiency was the primary factor limiting ocean fertility. In one accessible region they had all the prerequisites for a perfect experiment: great stretches of nutrient-rich but iron-poor and relatively lifeless waters; a vast natural iron-fed bloom for comparison; and an opportunity to see if iron replenishment alone would trigger a similar bloom in neighboring waters. The IronEx I and IronExII experiments succeeded dramatically and sparked off eight more international efforts to explore the science and promise of this field.
Planktos will return to this region to extend the IronEx project series building on the earlier international research, science and environmental impact data. The Planktos project team will include scientists and engineers from many disciplines and institutions around the world to conduct the larger and longer studies called for by the ocean science community. The scale of the Planktos bloom will be approximately 10,000 square km, approximately 2-3% the size of normal wind-seeded blooms and less than 10% the size of the rich Galapagos "plume".
From NASA's "Ocean Color Data and Resources" site
Here, iron is supplied by dust blown off the Galapagos Islands, but primarily from the underwater volcanic rocks and black smokers that add colloidal iron to the nearby waters. The Planktos bloom will be seeded hundreds of miles west of the Galapagos in waters equally nutrient rich but quite impoverished in terms of iron and ocean life.
This extensive natural "plume" near the Galapagos clearly shows that even supersaturated iron enrichment does not adversely affect ocean waters. Indeed, it is the ancient secret behind the lush plankton blooms that support the environmental wonders of the Galapagos ecosystem.
I just can't over what happened at Las Palmas and that the University turned their backs to the Weatherbird (and directly at Planktos Corp, imo.) foiling pretty much the entire operation. The delays they went through while at the Portuguese island of Madeira where the ship had been docked after being turned away at the Port of Las Palmas; awaiting the resources necessary to initiate and monitor its first research plankton blooms, ruined the Weatherbird's first mission, but imo, not the last!
I can't imagine their frustration, but then again I CAN!
Planktos European forest restoration work through its EU subsidiary KlimaFa (Hungarian for “climate tree”) is familiar and generally well understood, but its pioneering ocean work is now the target of a misguided campaign fomented by opponents to climate change solutions that involve carbon offsets or carbon credits. Mr. George observes, “Some groups are intent on perpetuating the notion that offsetting emissions somehow gives people permission to pollute and this unfairly lessens the massive sacrifice they demand by insisting on immediate cold turkey withdrawal from fossil fuels. They are industriously misleading news reporters to ignore all the dire ocean reports that motivate this work, and to believe that Planktos’ ocean restoration pilot projects will endanger rather than revive and rescue ocean ecosystems. Their characterizations of iron restoration as ‘pollution’ are as ludicrous as calling manure pollution on organic farms. In fact we are only restoring natural iron in parts per trillion concentrations, which no agency in the world even bothers to measure let alone regulate. We obviously must also radically cut our emissions, too, but no matter how much and how fast we can reduce our use of fossil fuels, we still need to address the immense existing surplus and only ecorestoration sinks can safely and affordably manage that.”
I say make it automated!
here is some info regarding MM's:
What is a Market Maker?
You probably take for granted that you can buy or sell a stock at a moment's notice. Place an order with your broker, and within seconds, it is executed. Have you ever stopped to wonder how this is possible? Whenever an investment is bought or sold, there must be someone on the other end of the transaction. If you wanted to buy 1,000 shares of Disney, you must find a willing seller, and visa versa. It's very unlikely you are always going to find someone who is interested in buying or selling the exact number of shares of the same company at the exact same time. This begs the question, how is it that you can buy or sell anytime? This is where a market maker comes in.
A market maker is a bank or brokerage company that stands ready every second of the trading day with a firm ask and bid price. This is good for you, because when you place an order to sell your thousand shares of Disney, the market maker will actually purchase the stock from you, even if he doesn't have a seller lined up. In doing so, they are literally "making a market" for the stock.
How do Market Makers make their Money?
Market Makers must be compensated for the risk they take; what if he buys your shares in IBM then IBM's stock price begins to fall before a willing buyer has purchased the shares? To prevent this, the market maker maintains a spread on each stock he covers. Using our previous example, the market maker may purchase your shares of IBM from you for $100 each (the ask price) and then offer to sell them to a buyer at $100.05 (bid). The difference between the ask and bid price is only $.05, but by trading millions of shares a day, he's managed to pocket a significant chunk of change to offset his risk.
Scott,
Most all online brokerages offer realtime L2-News-Quotes-Charts, etc. as part of their pro trader packages. So it will cost a little to get the service in most cases. But also most brokerages will offer a trial use for a couple weeks as well so you can decide if it's useful to you or not.
Yeah, I agree..they called upon the world to see if this theory would be accepted. Well, it was overwhelmingly accepted by many Country's highest level insitutions of science from around the World. And, it was obviously met with a near equalled group of disputing or simply uniformed naysayers.
As a public company, they are required to keep the shareholders abreast of their plans, etc. That fact alone is what worries me. If they need to go private to pull this off and then resurface again as a public company after successful trials done more discreetly...then so beit! I personally think this will get National attention very soon because of how fast the plankton life is depleting in the N.Atlantic and N.Pacific Oceans. [The world’s rainforests are being steadily felled at the rate of 1% per year, which is a great eco-tragedy for the 2% of the planet they cover. But ocean plants are disappearing at the same 1% per year rate and this is occurring all across the 72% of the planet that is covered by the seas. In the past 3 years alone we have lost an amount of ocean plant life equivalent to all the rainforest vegetation on earth. Recent reports from NASA, NOAA and peer reviewed journals have documented that in the last three decades we have lost 17% of plankton plant life in the North Atlantic, 26% in the North Pacific, and as much as 50% in sub-tropical ocean regions. “These reports clearly signal the beginning of an unprecedented mass extinction of planetary life”, says Planktos President Russ George.]
[On June 19th UK’s Independent reported that six scientists from leading US scientific institutions have issued what amounts to an unambiguous warning to the world: civilization itself is threatened by climate change. Led by James Hansen, NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies director, who first warned the US Congress about global warming, their 29-page Royal Society report ends, “We conclude that a feasible strategy for planetary rescue almost surely requires a means of extracting [greenhouse gases] from the air.” All Planktos’ endeavors have been shaped by a similar conclusion and the company sincerely hopes that ecorestoration critics begin to take science and our common future as seriously as their own interests and ideology]
I would be willing to bet that funding was a bigger issue than anything and with what is said above, this topic/issue is just in it's infancy. This is all very good for the future of Planktos Corp. IMO.
The iron fertlization missions are only one part of what these guys are doing and that alone keeps me optimistic. Time will tell and we shall see.
Read this again and tell me that PLKT won't resurface ready for another mission! There are just too many reasons that this research will continue and it is also just too dam important that it continue.
Hrmm, let's see ..ocean acidification or iron fertlization? It's a no brainer, imo.
Planktos Calls for “All Hands on Deck” Emergency Response to Prevent
Massive Plant Life Extinction in the World’s Seas
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 20, 2007--Planktos Corp. (OTCBB:PLKT) of San Francisco and Vancouver engages in developing and delivering ecorestoration solutions to slow the catastrophic decline of ocean and terrestrial ecosystems driven by the escalating surplus of CO2 emissions from fossil fuels. The Planktos “greener solutions” projects include the creation of tens of thousands of hectares of new climate forests within the national park systems of the European Union and the pioneering of ocean restoration technologies to rehabilitate decimated marine ecosystems.
The work of Planktos is best described as the restoration and nurturing of the native green plants both in terrestrial forests and amongst the phytoplankton plant communities that sustain all higher life forms in the seas. While most people know that our great forest ecosystems are seriously endangered, few understand that tiny ocean plants are even more vital to planetary health and they are an in even more dramatic decline. The world’s rainforests are being steadily felled at the rate of 1% per year, which is a great eco-tragedy for the 2% of the planet they cover. But ocean plants are disappearing at the same 1% per year rate and this is occurring all across the 72% of the planet that is covered by the seas. In the past 3 years alone we have lost an amount of ocean plant life equivalent to all the rainforest vegetation on earth. Recent reports from NASA, NOAA and peer reviewed journals have documented that in the last three decades we have lost 17% of plankton plant life in the North Atlantic, 26% in the North Pacific, and as much as 50% in sub-tropical ocean regions. “These reports clearly signal the beginning of an unprecedented mass extinction of planetary life”, says Planktos President Russ George.
The 2005 report of the British Royal Society sounded the alarm on ocean acidification due to rising levels of atmospheric CO2. Most CO2 in the air dissolves into the surface ocean and the Royal Society predicted that rising CO2 levels will result in such high levels of ocean water acidity that it could extinguish all ocean plant life between 2050 and 2100. In the November 3, 2006 issue of SCIENCE, an international ocean science team projected a global collapse of every single commercial fishery by 2048. As if these crises were not imminent enough, a May 2007 SCIENCE report declared that the Southern Ocean CO2 sink had reached saturation decades ahead of the Royal Society’s grim predictions. The accumulating research now makes it irrefutably clear that sea life is facing an accelerating catastrophe on many fronts and immediately requires the ocean-saving plankton restoration technologies that Planktos is developing.
Planktos’ 2007-2008 pilot project series closely follows the recommendations of leading international ocean research teams who have been engaged in developing this ocean restoration technology for the past 20 years at a total cost of nearly $100 million dollars. Hundreds of scientists from scores of ocean institutes have participated in this work both in laboratories and on major ocean trials. These two decades of research have clearly demonstrated the restorative power and minimal side effects of ocean iron replenishment, which is popularly referred to as iron fertilization. At least 10 small-scale iron fertilization projects have been completed and proved that careful iron replenishment can provide the same plankton restoration effects as the natural but declining delivery of micronutrient iron from wind-borne dust.
This promising series of small, budget-limited experiments has inevitably led to scientific demands for larger and longer trials in which researchers would monitor their iron-stimulated blooms for their full 4-6 month life cycles and not just the first few weeks as most earlier work has done. In response to this call, Planktos is now beginning a series of six pilot project blooms of the requested size, an order of magnitude larger than previous work, and is dedicating its research vessel Weatherbird to study each bloom from its beginning to its natural end. To create monetary value and sustain this work with carbon credits, Planktos must and will comply with the extensive and intensive Kyoto Protocol and EU mandated regulatory and third-party scientific oversight processes to obtain certified status for its sequestered CO2.
Over the course of the next several years Planktos will collaborate with scores of scientists and engineers from international ocean science institutions both aboard ship and ashore to develop this form of ocean stewardship in a scientifically, environmentally, and economically viable form. “This is work that must be done if we are to reverse the apocalyptic collapse of the ocean ecosystem as well as the climate crisis it is helping to accelerate”, says Russ George. “We are the first responders to a planetary medical emergency.”
Planktos European forest restoration work through its EU subsidiary KlimaFa (Hungarian for “climate tree”) is familiar and generally well understood, but its pioneering ocean work is now the target of a misguided campaign fomented by opponents to climate change solutions that involve carbon offsets or carbon credits. Mr. George observes, “Some groups are intent on perpetuating the notion that offsetting emissions somehow gives people permission to pollute and this unfairly lessens the massive sacrifice they demand by insisting on immediate cold turkey withdrawal from fossil fuels.

On June 19th UK’s Independent reported that six scientists from leading US scientific institutions have issued what amounts to an unambiguous warning to the world: civilization itself is threatened by climate change. Led by James Hansen, NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies director, who first warned the US Congress about global warming, their 29-page Royal Society report ends, “We conclude that a feasible strategy for planetary rescue almost surely requires a means of extracting [greenhouse gases] from the air.” All Planktos’ endeavors have been shaped by a similar conclusion and the company sincerely hopes that ecorestoration critics begin to take science and our common future as seriously as their own interests and ideology.
Planktos’ work is financed by early-stage institutional investors in the EU and Canada and via its public company status (symbol: PLKT). Planktos’ pioneering efforts are expected to make the company a leading provider of the most immediate, effective, and inexpensive solutions to global warming, climate change, and ocean collapse. Planktos earns revenue via the climate change carbon offset markets of the EU and other Kyoto Protocol nations. It is also working to assist development of similar markets in the US climate change arena in concert with other organizations that understand the critical importance of ecorestoration activities. The firm expects to offer participants, supporters and investors extremely rewarding new opportunities in the 2007-2008 time frame.

The parent company to Planktos; SLRE - Solar Energy Limited. is still operating and that is another reason why I think the Planktos missions will be revived. If it isn't revived, perhaps current shareholders of PLKT will get some sort of stock compensation or transfer into the parent company's stock; SLRE?
Who knows..
But, like I stated before, these guys are doing wonderful things for our Mother Earth and I don't expect that these scientists will stop researching. etc. because of one set back in the program. I may be wishful thinking but these guys have been in operations for over 2o+ years, raising over $100,000,000 along the way, so obviously ALOT of serious environmentalists around the world with deep pockets have been supporting their missions for quite some time now!
Time will tell and I will just keep my fingers crossed as I believe in what these guys do!
Scott, well written and Accurate also! Although many posts of mine have been pushed pages back thanks to Josey's rediculous responses..I have taken alot of time to posting certain pages of the SB-2 filing that I felt were important for discussion.
Feel free to read back through my posts if ya have a sec, as I also asked questions based upon my findings as you did. I also freely made comments on my thoughts according to what I found in the filing among other reports.
I would repost them, but I'm pooped. lol
Cheers!
~Dp
Josey, I thought we agreed that you would stop the nonsense? So what?..We watch the vid from the Fed meeting and that translates to ERUC being manipulated by the MM's? lmao!
Tell me , in fact show me, and highlight the exact part of that segment of the Fed meeting that exclusively says, that ERUC is the stock being used in the example?!
I pasted the facts about where the dilution is/was coming from, straight from the SB-2 and in the fine print of the PR Alerts...
Let 5 mins go by and bing!...Mama Josey is back with more nonsense about the MM's ruining this stock, yet recommends to buy it because it's undervalued. lmao! Hey everybody, the MM's are keeping this stock down..but BUY BUY BUY cause I am and I am every day!
Sorry Titan and others..I just couldn't help it! heh!
It's obvious to me you don't know a thing about trading. Period.
So is it Titan keeping the share price down or the evil MM's???..I'm confused!
Oh, I just don't know what to do now...I'm so scared..is it getting dark in here?...hey guys..you still here?..
lmao!
Bash, Bash , Bash! =D~
Look, if it's not dilution from the sale of shares used for business and PR Alerts, as stated clearly in the SB-2 and in the fine print of the PR Alerts; Then, I too, would love the SEC to intervine and see if there is indeed corruption involving the MM's practices.
Until such notice from the SEC or a hault and investigation from the SEC should take place, your claims of MM corruption is misleading and reckless at this time. Do you undestand what I am saying here? Think of what people think when they read your accusational posts based upon no fact other than watching aimlessly at L2 making assumptions as to what you are seeing based upon pent up emotion you seem to think needs to be beaten into us over and over.
Sorry, just my opinion is all.
Stop refreshing your screen Josey!
I can't wait 'till the day that ERUC Board Mommy Josey, let's us leave the nest, but we must stay in the nest in order to keep us all safe from the evil MM's! lmao.
Lighten up Josey, you sound panicky and desperate. It's very obvious that you are swimming up to your neck in losses on this stock and have made it personal that you get your money back.
Look, I think it sucks, I'm not makin' fun of people losing money (including myself), but you can't just sit here ready to pounce on anyone that has a different point of view than you, or that sold out of frustration or what have you. You sound like an out of control, ignorant idiot. Caps here and there, poor spelling and grammer, combined with run-on sentences that make no sense whatsoever. Talk about too much emotion and attachment to a stock. Maybe stock trading isn't for you.
Anyways, had to get that off my chest because frankly, you're driving me nuts and you offer little to no purposeful input to this board other than making a few of us laugh every now and then! imo.
Let's turn this back into an informative discussion board based on facts not fictional MM crap shall we?!
~Dp
Hah! LMAO!
Mama..where are you now? lol. Ditched the MOD job eh?
sorry for those who lost on this joke of a company and stock. Sucks bad.
You tried calling Gemini's offices and noone answered? Then you left a message and noone called you back? What did the answering machine say at Gemini?
I also still believe that Weatherbird will sail again when the hype dies down a bit and the funding is secured again. imo
These guys are doing so many other neat things for this planet, they aren't going anywhere! imo
It appears the dilution from the PR Alerts on the 19th has slowed quite a bit, imo! The reason I feel this way is because if the selling was still forced, the price would continue to go down during times of no match buying.
It doesn't mean the dilution is over but it might mean it is winding down to the last of the bunch being sold at this time.
Could mean that bounce that everyone has been waiting for could be on the horizon. This ofcourse, is if further dilution in mass isn't right around the corner ready to snub a possible bounce. Again, this is my observation and my opinion only.
Hey Titan, what are your thoughts on this?
IMO, I'm ready for some news. It really is about time we get a briefing and maybe even some new calculations on the worth of these mines now with the Gold per ounce price at say $900.00!
More importantly though, I would just love to have some news on how the actual mining process is going and what progress has been made and/or maybe some new discoveries or what not..
Any thoughts?!
If everyone posted 15 times a day...
It would drive this board onto the The Top 20 Most Actives Board, thus giving ERUC more exposure. Then these new onlookers can read up and decide if they want buy into the ERUC story!
I'm actually surprised Josey, that you hadn't thought of that already. j/k. As long as the stock itself were not being pumped, it would be a harmless and proactive way to get people more aware of this company and it's direction, etc. Healthcare is important to everyone. ERUC seems to be pathing a way for an interesting new way to offer healthcare services to the masses. Perhaps people like alot of us that bought into the story and believe in the mission, will want to invest in the future of ERUC as we did! This is offcourse all my opinion.
See, who says I don't post uplifting thoughts on here also?! lol.
Don't get me wrong..I want to get past this dilution and see some uptrending! I am sure I am not alone in that feeling?! imo.
Here's the answer to the dilution as of lately. I am not sure if this dilution is also compounded by the other dilution for financial services, etc. rendered but this certainly explains the dilution at the moment and should come to end soon, imo.
Remember those PR Stock Alerts on Feb. 19 (Breaking Stock Alert for Tuesday: ERUC! February 19, 2008), well those were paid for by ERUC using shares. Those shares as stated below were to start being sold immediately. Now I am not sure what per share price these 15mil shares were valued at in this agreement, but if it was above the current marketprice then it would be alot more than 15mil shares being diluted whilst they sell. Josey, for the last time it isn't the MM's being corrupt, they are simply matching immediate buys to sells in blocks to achieve the request they have to sell these shares issued to them from ERUC for the PR Alerts! I am going to say this is my opinion although I feel it to be fact even though I can't verify it as fact.
I just don't understand why you would pay in shares to release a PR Alert, just so people will buy in to offset the selling of these shares? Makes no sense. Who wins doing it that way (that is another question in itself)?
Anyways, here is the fine print in those 4 alerts they release on the 19th:
The advertisement is provided by Wall Street Enews, a division of Stock Market Alerts LLC, an electronic broadcaster and publisher of this release, and hereafter referred to as "the company." The company received compensation for services performed for ER Urgent Care Centers (PINKSHEETS: ERUC). In 2008, the compensation is fifteen million shares (ten million shares for current services and five million shares for previous services) from third party, BAF Consulting LLC., who is non-affiliated and may hold a significant position in the stock. The company currently holds ten million of those shares, as of this release; however intends to immediately continue selling its shares as this release is being circulated. The company also maintains a contractual, working relationship with Wall Street Capital Funding, who was also previously compensated stock for services rendered in 2007, and no longer holds any of the original shares compensated for those services. The company may receive additional shares for extension of its services, and any additional shares will be disclosed at such time that the company is aware of a clients desire to extend the original services. Because the company received compensation for its services, there is an inherent conflict of interest in the company statements and opinions and such statements and opinions cannot be considered independent. The company may have received shares of a company profiled in this release prior to the dissemination of the information in this release. The company may immediately sell some or any shares in a profiled company held by the company and may have previously sold shares in a profiled company held by the company. The company's services for a company may cause the company's stock price to increase, in which event the company would make a profit when it sells its stock in a company. In addition, the company's selling of a company's stock may have a negative effect on the market price of the stock.
The information contained in this press release is for informational purposes
Now having read my last post consider this...
Since the shares issued for the various services as mentioned below at a specific per share value; totalling a specific monetary value per each transaction, that means.. that should any of the parties mentioned below decide to sell shares right now to obtain their specific monies due to them for these services, they will be diluting shares well beyond that of those shares mentioned because of the fact the per share value is significantly lower. For instance it mentions below that "Stock issued for services- In May 2007, the Company issued 12,500,000 shares to satisfy legal fees. The shares have been valued at $0.40 per share for a total of $5,000,000." ..now since the current per share price is less than a penny at the moment you would have to multiply 12,500,000 shares by 40 (500 million shares being diluted instead of 12,500,000) and that is how many shares will be diluted in order for that particular party to achieve the value of $5mill. as per the issuance.
I could be way off on this, and hopefully I am, but now add the other issuances for services mentioned below and do the same math and you end up with a couple billion shares outstanding. If ERUC's stock price keep going lower than the dilution will just get worse and the shares outstanding will get larger and larger. This is my opinion and I am hoping others have thoughts on this?!

Looking at the stats below with the share prices as shown at .10, .11, ..given the current market price of ERUC's stock it would be safe to say that around 2 billion shares are outstanding. imo.

certain assumptions. Assuming we drew down the entire $7 million available under the Agreement in a single advance (which is not permitted under the terms of the Agreement) and the purchase price was equal to $0.08 per share, then we would issue 87,500,000 shares of our common stock to Paragon. These shares would represent approximately 70% of our outstanding common stock upon issuance, except that paragon is limited to owning no greater than 9.9% of our issued and outstanding stock at any time. ERUC is registering 87,500,000 shares of common stock for sale under the Agreement plus an additional 2,000,000 shares (the shares issued to Paragon as a Commitment Fee). On May 7, 2004, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized share of common stock to 500,000,000 shares. As of October 11, 2007 we had 38,890,935 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. If our share price were to decline, we may need to register additional shares of common stock in order to fully utilize the $7 million available under the Agreement at certain of the prices set forth below and would need to amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock available for issuance.
You should be aware that there is an inverse relationship between our stock price and the number of shares to be issued under the Agreement. That is, as our stock price declines, we would be required to issue a greater number of shares under the Agreement for a given advance. This inverse relationship is demonstrated by the following table, which shows the number of shares to be issued under the Agreement at anticipated prices. This table does not take into account any shares of our common stock that may be issued upon the conversion or exercise of outstanding options and warrants.

The proceeds received by us under the Agreement will be used generally as follows: (1) to expand our facilities in order to increase our profit margin and to guarantee our quality of service; and (2) the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes such as the purchasing of additional practices. We cannot predict the total amount of proceeds to be raised in this transaction, in part, because we have not determined the total amount of the advances we intend to draw. However, we expect to incur expenses of approximately $ 500,000 consisting primarily of professional fees incurred in connection with this registration.
FLOOR PRICE. The Company may, at its option, specify in each Put Notice a minimum Market Price (“Floor Price”). In the event that during a Valuation Period, the Bid Price on any Trading Day falls below the Floor Price (a “Low Bid Price”), the Company shall be under no obligation to sell and the Investor shall be under no obligation to purchase one tenth (1/10) of the Investment Amount specified in the Put Notice for each such Trading Day, and the Investment Amount shall accordingly be deemed reduced by such amount. In the event that during a Valuation Period there exists a Low Bid Price for any three (3) Trading Days - not necessarily

I pasted this so you can see what dilution does to stock prices as posted in the SB-2 Filing.
My thoughts that we are seeing dilution vs. MM's corruption is all only my opinion.

SHARES ACQUIRED IN FINANCING TRANSACTIONS WITH ERUC
Paragon is the investor under the Agreement. All investment decisions of Paragon are made by Mr. Joseph C. Canouse.
Pursuant to the Agreement, we may, at our discretion, periodically issue and sell to Paragon shares of common stock for a total purchase price of $7 million. The amount of each advance is subject to a maximum advance amount of $300,000.00. Paragon will purchase shares of our common stock for a 7% discount to the three lowest closing bid prices of our common stock for the ten days immediately following the notice date. In addition Paragon will receive a fee of $200,000.00, payable by the issuance of 2,000,000 shares restricted common stock. Paragon intends to sell any shares purchased under the Agreement at the then prevailing market price. There are certain risks related to sales by Paragon including:
• The outstanding shares will be issued based on discount to the market rate. As a result, the lower the stock price, the greater the number of shares that will be issued to Paragon. This could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of common stock.
• To the extent Paragon sells its common stock, the common stock price may decrease due to the additional shares in the market. This could allow Paragon to sell greater amounts of common stock, the sales of which would further depress the stock price.
• The significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock as Paragon sells material amounts of common stocks could encourage short sales by others. This could place further downward pressure on the price of the common stock.
EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT
SUMMARY. On January 30, 2006, we entered into an Agreement with Paragon Trading, LTD (“Paragon”). Pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit Agreement, we may, at our discretion, periodically sell to Paragon shares of common stock for a total purchase price of up to $7 million. For each share of common stock purchased under the Agreement, Paragon will pay 93% of the three lowest closing bid prices for our common stock with respect to the ten trading days after we give notice to Paragon that we wish to sell stock to them. The effectiveness of the sale of the shares under the Agreement is conditioned upon us registering the shares of common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The costs associated with this registration will be borne by us.
AGREEMENT EXPLAINED.
Pursuant to the Agreement, we may periodically sell shares of common stock to Paragon to raise capital to fund our working capital needs. The periodic sale of shares is known as an advance. We may request advances periodically during the three (3) year term. A closing will be held after the applicable pricing period for such advance at which time we will deliver shares of common stock and Paragon will pay the advance amount less the commission described above.
We may request advances under the Agreement once the underlying shares are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Thereafter, we may continue to request advances until Paragon has advanced $7 million or until the date that is three years after the SEC first declares the Registration Statement effective, whichever occurs first. We are limited to a maximum advance of $300,000.00 per advance. In no event will the number of shares issuable to Paragon pursuant to an advance exceed 9.9% of our then-outstanding common stock.
We cannot predict the actual number of shares of common stock that will be issued pursuant to the Agreement, in part, because the purchase price of the shares will fluctuate based on prevailing market conditions and we have not determined the total amount of advances we intend to draw. Nonetheless, we can estimate the number of shares of our common stock that will be issued using

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
The Company has a history of losses. There is no assurance that we will be profitable in the future:
As shown in the Company’s financial statements accompanying its annual report, the Company incurred net losses of $565,809 and $521,975 during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively and net losses during the first six months of 2007 of $10,372,566. The Company does not expect to achieve profitability for the next several quarters, and there can be no assurance that it will be profitable thereafter, or that the Company will sustain any such profitability if achieved.
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and many of our competitors have significantly greater resources than we do:
Ambulatory urgent care medicine is one of the largest growing practices in the United States. In fact, there are more AUC practices opening than managed care plans. Many of the Company’s current and potential competitors may have longer operating histories and may have significantly greater financial, and other resources, as well as greater name recognition than the Company. As a result, they may be able to devote greater resources to the development marketing and support of their medical facilities than the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that competitive pressures faced by the Company will not materially adversely affect its business, operating results or financial condition.
The loss of our senior management and failure to attract and retain qualified personnel in a competitive labor market could limit our ability to execute our growth strategy, resulting in a slower rate of growth:
We depend on the continued service of our senior management. Due to the nature of our business, we may have difficulty locating and hiring qualified personnel and retaining such personnel once hired. The loss of the services of any of our key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other qualified and experienced personnel on acceptable terms, could limit our ability to execute our growth strategy resulting in a slower rate of growth.
Our failure to attract and retain Physicians and Nurse Practitioners in a competitive labor market could limit our ability to execute our growth strategy, resulting in a slower rate of growth:
The Company’s business depends on its ability to continue to recruit and retain a sufficient number of qualified licensed doctors and nurses. Although the Company believes it has an effective recruitment process, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to secure arrangements with sufficient numbers of licensed doctors and nurses or retain the services of such practitioners. The Company recruits its personnel from a variety of employment agencies and services. If the Company experiences delays or shortages in obtaining access to qualified physicians and nurses, the Company would be unable to expand its clinics, resulting in reduced revenues.
We face the risk of professional liability claims which may exceed the limits of insurance coverage:
The Company may become involved in malpractice claims with the attendant risk of damage awards. The Company currently maintains malpractice insurance in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 and $3,000,000 on a per claim basis. There can be no assurance that a future claim or claims will not exceed the limits of available insurance coverage or that such coverage will continue to be available at commercially reasonable rates, if at all. In the event of a successful claim against the Company that is uninsured in whole or in part, the Company’s business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

MM = Market Maker
market maker
Definition
A brokerage or bank that maintains a firm bid and ask price in a given security by standing ready, willing, and able to buy or sell at publicly quoted prices (called making a market). These firms display bid and offer prices for specific numbers of specific securities, and if these prices are met, they will immediately buy for or sell from their own accounts. Market makers are very important for maintaining liquidity and efficiency for the particular securities that they make markets in. At most firms, there is a strict separation of the market-making side and the brokerage side, since otherwise there might be an incentive for brokers to recommend securities simply because the firm makes a market in that security.
A year ago?! lmao! That was part of the SB-2 Filing {ER Urgent Care Holdings Inc - SB-2 (Filed: 12-10-2007)} that is an intricate part and first step towards ERUC becoming a fully reporting OTCBB traded company. Posting facts, important ones at that, is part of due dilligence and you call it, "frightening people"?
You sound clueless! ..and I am starting to question your true intentions here?! hrmm.
