I wasn't going to bother posting here because I really don't care what anyone here really thinks. I make my own decisions. Evidently I am considered a pumper and scammer to you so I will one last time address you.
Q "You can't say I didn't warn everybody from my very first post on this board. So which one of the pumpers is coming back to this board and tell me I was wrong?"
A You are wrong
Q "Or is it the same ole get your shades on!!!"
A Shades never came off.
Q "Well as I expected not one is MAN enough to come back and say they were wrong. But I never expected them too being they all knew what the REAL truth was."
"Now they want to open another board...LMFAO"
A I'm man enough but I am not wrong. I still believe I will be sitting at the winners table.

GetFugu to Take on Google, Yahoo in Mobile Search on iPhone
Yahoo (NASDAQ:YAHOO) currently has 34.6% of the mobile search market in the U.S., compared with Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) 63%, according to comScore. But Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) recent deal with Verizon to be its exclusive search provider is just getting under way, and together Yahoo and Microsoft will have additional exclusive mobile search deals with T-Mobile USA and AT&T. (Google has a mobile search exclusive with Sprint Nextel.)
Ad revenue from mobile search is expected to increase over 125 per cent every year until 2013, latest research shows.
According to BIA's Kelsey Group, mobile search ad revenue in Western Europe will increase from €39 million (£32.7m) in 2008, to €2.3 billion (£2bn) by 2013 - a 125.4 per cent compound annual growth rate.
Mobile display ad revenues will grow from €14m (£12m) in 2008 to €1.1 billion (£95m) in 2013, according to the research.
The US lags behind Europe, with mobile search ad revenues expected to increase from $39m last year to $2.3bn by 2013.
According to Kelsey, the discrepancy is due to Western Europe being home to 499m mobile handsets, compared to only 266m in the US.
Kelsey's findings follow GfK Technology and Brightkite's report showing iPhone users are more likely to recall mobile display ads than owners of other handsets.
Getfugu is set to storm iPhone users and smartphone users with a brand new way to use their search. Getfugu, Inc. (OTCBB:GFGU) www.getfugu.com, the next generation mobile search tool, to introduce their revolutionary new method of accessing the Internet through mobile phones, will give away, free, to the first 100,000 experiencers, a customizable, VISA branded debit card.

These industries include the world's largest brands, over 700 online retailers, 70 big-box brick & mortar retail stores and more than 25,000 local community merchants and retailers.
Getfugu's 09/09/09 premiere of its four unique "See It," vision recognition (ARL); "Say It," voice recognition (VRL); "Find It," location recognition (GRL); and "Get It," Hot-Spotting services, is targeted at consumers who spend valuable time hunting for entertainment, news, sport results, shopping, and more on their mobile phones.

We are a re-energized, focused company with what we believe are compelling products. I was appointed the CEO in February 2008. Since then, I have rebuilt the management team, reduced our burn rate, completed prototype development and implemented our manufacturing supply chain. We added Ed Cabrera, Head of Investment banking, Jesup & Lamont, and Paul Sidlo, Entrepreneur and Computer Graphics Pioneer, to the Board of Directors. We hired, and promoted, Kenth Pedersen to Chief Business Development Officer, and announced customer relationships with EKO Vehicles and Hobie Cat.
Why was the recent 1:200 common stock reverse split so important?
As Neah progresses from a developmental company to a company with customer engagements and product shipments on the horizon, we seek to be listed on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) as part of Neah's overall growth and corporate strategy. The split provides the appropriate capital structure necessary for investment in a company of Neah's size and potential, and Neah believes that the higher per share price will increase the number and quality of brokers and investors that will be attracted to the company. The 200:1 reverse split was approved by shareholders at the previous Annual Shareholder Meeting, and the company was required to maintain this ratio.
The company mentioned a Forward Split in the near future. How is that important?
The reverse split successfully achieved the goals articulated in the previous response, and based on input from our Strategic and Financial advisors, and Board members, we are trying to set the appropriate price range to attract the right type of long term investor. Neah believes this is good for the shareholders and for the company. Neah has applied for a forward split of 6:1 with FINRA which we believe puts the share price at an appropriate target.
Why have we not seen any financial projections or estimates from the company?
While the company does have projected financial data, at the present stage of the company's development this information is highly sensitive and making it available could be harmful to the best interests of the company and therefore you, its shareholders. In addition, as you know, we have been and are in discussions with both customers and potential investors. Potential customer arrangements (projected sales) are often required to be kept confidential until the point in time where an agreement has been in fact finalized. Neah is currently in the process of talking to institutional investors and other funding sources, and these groups will be important to us as shareholders of the company for the long term. As a matter of policy though, we prefer to hold this information close and treat it with a measure of cautious optimism, as we are dealing with new technologies and hitherto unknown markets and applications. We believe that Neah could be generating revenue by the end of 2009 based on estimates from SolCool and Letters of Intent (LOIs) that we have.
What is the status of the AMEX listing?
We have a lot of effort remaining as we work toward our goal of becoming listed on the AMEX, and we have high confidence in our advisors. The reverse and forward splits that have been recently implemented are part of the means to satisfy the listing requirements on AMEX.
Do you envision any further dilution?
Yes. Anything that we have done, and continue to do in relation to raising capital, will be done with the intent to maintain and build shareholder value.
Be sure to watch for Part Two of my letter, to be published tomorrow, August 12, 2009, as it will deal with our marketing and product strategy.
Thank you for your continued support of Neah Power and the management team at the company.
Sincerely,
Chris D'Couto Ph.D.
Chief Executive Officer & President

NPWZ Neah Power Past, Present and Future
NPWZ a Hot List Success
Neah Power, what an amazing ride it has been with this one since it first featured in the hot list at .008 sometime ago. Lots has happened since then, and it keeps looking better and better.
After the initial round of restructuring I expect to see part 2 of that restructuring coming into place in the next few days. Those who actually read all of the PR's would be aware that the initial Reverse Split was to allow funding to be set, and now that has been done.
With the money in place and cash flow having been established via a take over we are now set to see the balance of the restructuring take place I am certain, the question is where will Jesup & Lamont want to price this for an AMEX listing keeping in mind they are hunting Institutional Investors.
So where will Jesup & Lamont want to price this stock, having just gone through there recent upgrades, downgrades and most importantly their coverage initiation $7 to $11 seems to be the area they are happy with at the moment.But that is only step 1 in the calculation, part 2 is, what is Neah worth?
Lets look at the 2 Indian deals for now in India, 50000 Hermes stations and around 500,000 motor cycles based on a rough estimate. Let say they lose one deal and only complete 25% of the other.
12,500 Hermes stations, if they are sold as finished units to Indian owners. Estimated cost of lets say $15000 with a net return to Neah of 10% $1500. Yes, Thats $187,500,000 in revenue with a profit of $18,750,000.
Or, 500,000 batteries for Motor Cycles at a value of $250 for valuation purposes and again a 10% profit, so that comes to. $125,000,000 in revenue with a $12,500,000 profit.
If we apply FSLR's P/E of 21 to that we come up with a current price of $157 per share. This does not include any valuation on the other parts of the business nor does it bring into account the SolCool business.
For valuation purposes lets discount that again by half, because neither deal is at contract stage, and hal again becuase there maybe more development work to do to complete the deals(note funding for this has already been announced)
So excluding all other potential, NPWZ values out at around $40 now, with upside including:
Completion in full of either of the 2 deals
Completion of Both Deals
The Value of SolCool
The value of the original concept of Neah, batteries for portable devices and vehicles.
Any Military contracts.
So now I have my own number of $40 I would be guessing the forward split we see (given Jesup and Lamont's preferances) will be in the range of 5 to 1 to 8 to 1.
Post split I would think this stock will rebound to around $10 and then we will wait on the projections and contracts. (This is my own vaulation based on my own research)

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Getfugu (OTCBB:GFGU - News; http://getfugu.com), the next generation mobile search tool, announced today the addition of telecommunications industry executive Michael John O'Connor to its Board of Directors. O'Connor is currently the Co-Chairman of Globalive Communications Corporation, a leading provider of telecommunications solutions in Canada, covering its population of over 20 million people.
O'Connor is the founder of the Center for Economic and Financial Analysis at Science Applications International Corporation, in San Diego, California and Virginia, one of the largest consultancy companies in the US with 60,000 employees.

Orascom Telecom is the largest and most diversified mobile telecommunications company in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asian territories.
O'Connor, as Orascom Telecom's representative in Canada, in 2008, led the auction for nationwide AWS spectrum, culminating in the largest and most expansive award of spectrum and fees of $445 million, across Canada, with launch later this year in the major urban centers.
"I'm pleased to be joining Getfugu's board as the company prepares for launch on September 9," said O'Connor. "Getfugu's rich technology will be one of the most significant factors for the mobile industry and I'm delighted be a part of it. One of my first goals will be to leverage my telecommunications experience and resources to help drive the technology in a variety of new areas."
"It's an honor to add Michael John O'Connor, a true a leader in the mobile business, to the board of Getfugu," said Getfugu Chairman Michael Jay Solomon. "Michael is a force in the business and has an enormous network of resources, which will bring a number of benefits to the board."
O'Connor began his career at the Economic Council of Canada/School of Policy Studies Queens University conducting studies of Government's Impact on Competitiveness in these two sectors. He holds a Masters Degree in Economics from Carleton University.
O'Connor's appointment to the Getfugu Board is the latest high profile appointment to the company's board and executive management team under the leadership of CEO Bernard Stolar, former Game Evangelist at Google.

I know this isn't a contract yet but they are getting $10 Million Funding Commitment From Optimus Energy Capital Partners LLC. Things are looking good still.
The insiders are waiting for the retail to be able to start trading their shares hoping you sell. This way they can pick up more cheap shares.
I'm not going to worry about what people say or do here. I will still stick to the fact that they have damn good people involved with them and this is all well planned out by them. They have reputations on the line and they are not here to scam anyone. Just not worth it for these people.
I show 3600 traded and bid ask 18.50 x 19.00. I also have no shares able to trade yet. I don't see the price of .091 anywhere. Just must be Ameitrade hasn't caught up on new symbol.
Getfugu to Launch Exclusive Next Generation Mobile Search Tool September 9, 2009
SAN FRANCISCO, Jul 28, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Getfugu Inc. (OTCBB:GFGU) (www.Getfugu.com), developers of the next generation mobile search tool, announced today it will release, on September 9, 2009, its specialized and unique new mobile search tool that gives consumers the immediate ability to bypass typing in URL's on their mobile phones by offering four unique services: See It, vision recognition (ARL); Say It, voice recognition (VRL); Find It, location recognition (GRL); Get It, Hot-Spotting.
David Warthen, Chief Technology Officer of Getfugu, said its singular technology enables consumers to experience the Internet on cellular phones in an entirely new way. Getfugu-installed phones will recognize logos and products through any camera, by simply pointing their phone at a logo to retrieve content from the brand owner; or simply speak into the phone to find a retailer, or say generic keywords such as "best pizza" or "ATM." Getfugu, designed to work with the GPS systems of today's mobile phones, will return content based on the proximity to the user. A keyword of "pizza" will return the five closest pizza parlors. Local businesses can pay for voice-activated key words to position themselves at the top of the search list. Getfugu allows advertisers to monetize their marketing efforts through Hot-Spotting, an ecommerce tool, enabling the consumer to purchase or retrieve information on any item featured in the video simply by touching it on the screen. This function is currently limited to touch-screen phones and selected Blackberry models.
Anticipating its commercial debut, Getfugu has retained several entertainment, technological and broadcast executives to its management team and board, including Michael Jay Solomon, founder and Chairman/CEO of Telepictures Corporation, as Chairman of the Board; CEO Bernard Stolar, former Game Evangelist at Google, and Ask Jeeves (Ask.com) Founder, David Warthen, CTO. Getfugu's technology has also been reviewed positively ahead of its launch by Interpublic's popular brands and agency partners through the company's recent strategic partnership with IPG's Emerging Media Lab, a leading center for consumer research.

I don't believe any of this myself. I think it was a scare tactic to get people to sell. We shall find out soon enough.
AEMC
Archer Asia the BZTG/AEMC joint venture is finalizing production plans for Finance Asia TV the site is under construction, broadcast plans across Asia and Nth America are set, the license is in hand and the switch is not far from being turned on. AND that's just part of the story.
AEMC and Buzz Financial Services have been looking at taking over an AMEX shell to house Archer in and allow the company to have a better platform to secure production funding or the 9 fully developed movie projects the company has.
Archer Asia has been approached by almost a dozen Film Festivals seeking the companies involvement.
Archer Film Finance now has dozens of International Movies Funds, Independent Film Makers and Investors looking for Archers involvement in their projects.

I like everything this company is doing. They have it very well planned out. They got the right people in place to make it all happen. If they didn't have the people they do I would worry. Ed Cabrera will get them funding and on the AMEX and Paul Sidlo has the connections to get them contracts. This shouldn't be thought of any stinky pinkie doing a r/s. I bet either news of something big before or right after they do the r/s. Like I said all planned out. You can throw the charts out the window to make decisions on this one.
PS: I'm not worried if some sell even. I believe there are major buyers scooping up as much as they can.
CIGNA Approved Prometa Substance Abuse Program from Hythiam
With only 54m shares outstanding Hythiam (NASDAQ:HYTM) owner of the CIGNA (NYSE:CI) approved Substance Abuse Program is set for a bright future as the companies products are set to reach a wider audience in 2009.
In 2005 to 2007 this stock traded in the $6 to $10 range in May
The company reported consolidated net income of $3.1 million, or $0.06 per share for the first quarter of 2009, which includes $10.4 million of income from discontinued operations, or $0.19 per share. This compares with a 2008 first quarter consolidated net loss of $10.7 million, or $0.20 per share.
Results from Discontinued Operations reflect a gain of $11.2 million on the sale of CompCare and a $755,000 loss from CompCare's operations and related purchase accounting adjustments for the period January 1 through January 20, 2009, compared to a $1.7 million net loss for CompCare, or $0.03 per share, in the first quarter of 2008.
In March Hythiam Inc. announced the final results of two double-blind, placebo-controlled studies that help complete the Company's data set on the impact of the PROMETA Treatment Program (PROMETA) on alcohol dependent subjects. The first set of results includes data from the full 14-week double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted by Raymond Anton, M.D., of Medical University of South Carolina. At week 14, the data demonstrated statistical significance for key endpoints for subjects with greater symptoms of withdrawal as measured by higher Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment (CIWA) scores. The higher-CIWA PROMETA subjects maintained statistical significance for endpoints that included percent days abstinent and craving, when compared to placebo subjects. The second set of results includes data from an 8-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study on alcohol dependent subjects, all with low CIWA scores, that was recently completed by Joseph Volpicelli, M.D., Ph.D. at the Institute of Addiction Medicine. Results from this study demonstrated that, for lower-CIWA subjects with a clinical history of alcohol withdrawal symptoms, the PROMETA group experienced statistically significant decreases in alcohol craving and alcohol consumption, as compared to placebo. In addition, across the entire intent-to-treat sample, differences favored the PROMETA group. The study enrolled 117 male and female subjects into the 8-week trial.
Hythiam provides addiction treatment programs to health plans and employers through a network of licensed and company managed healthcare providers. Hythiam's service portfolio is built around its proprietary Prometa®Treatment Program.Prometa®is the only patented treatment program designed to reset dysfunctional receptors in the brain to a pre-substance abuse state while integrating medical, behavioral, and nutritional components.
The program typically involves three to five physician office visits for initial therapy, followed by a month of prescription medications and ongoing professional counseling. The outpatient design of the program eliminates the main reason for patients not seeking treatment -the stigma of entering a rehab center. Hythiam offers the Prometa®Treatment Program to third party payers through its Catasys division as an integrated substance dependence solution. This market represents 180 million lives and has already received initial adoption by Cigna, with others in late stage discussions.
US Addiction Statistics Support Hythiam's Business
Over 22 million Americans suffer from dependence on illicit drugs or alcohol, with only 18% seeking treatment
The impact on direct medical costs in the US is over $42 billion
Cocaine/stimulant addiction therapy is a multi-billion dollar market opportunity that was previously without effective treatment Proven Methodology Prometa®'s success has been cited in over 3,000 treatments in the U.S. and several independent double-blind placebo-controlled studies:
A double-blind methamphetamine study confirming Hythiam's Prometa®program shows statistically significant reduction in cravings compared to placebo was recently presented at a national conference: change in combined craving score decreased by 54% for the Prometa®group
Recently released results from double-blind, placebo-controlled alcohol study of Hythiam's Prometa®program demonstrated statistically significant improvement in patients with symptoms of alcohol withdrawal
Upcoming Milestones/Value Drivers
Top-line results from placebo-controlled, double-blinded UCLA methamphetamine addiction study -3Q08
Publication of first placebo-controlled, double-blinded study of Prometa®in cocaine addiction -2H08
Additional agreements with national and regional managed care organizations -2H08
Positioned to be profitable in 2009

Another good day up another 19.5%.
I don't need to reread anything. Maybe you should let it sink in that buzz didn't write the article. It was written by another company. Why would they say, "Buzz Financial Services (www.12buzz.com) assisted in this transaction, for which we are appreciative" if it wasn't true.
Again I will tell you I don't care if you buy any shares. I don't need to prove anything. Even when I do point out anything you come out with the same remarks. So for me it's a waste of time to even try.
Time will tell for those who bought and for those who didn't and bitched. If things go the way as I believe they will those who bought will be very happy and those who bitched will keep on bitching.
