Yes, I agree. Pretty foul. I was fortunate to get in fairly low and unload during the highs. I kept a bunch of freebee's.
Still liking the EEF house franchising aspect of this company and actually took a tour of the first home built. Also kinda hoping something will pan out, if not so much the investment but for the need of local jobs in southwestern Idaho..
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.
Rob
PS.. Take everything you read from the Boise Weekly with a grain of salt. While I enjoy their movie and restaurant reviews, their reporting on AEHI is biased towards the no nuke / all nuke is bad crowd..
Yea.. that is strange. Especially since their URL is
http://www.alternateenergyholdings.com/
and has not been www.aehipower.com for awhile.
Tracy and BEEN.. here we go.. lol
Might as well post Smith and Strickland Propane..
The IR's plan isn’t foolproof. For it to work, certain things must happen:
—The door to the vault must have accidentally been left open by the cleaning woman.
—The guard must bend over to tie his shoes and somehow he gets all the shoelaces tied together. He can’t get them apart, so he takes out his gun and shoots all his bullets at the knot. But he misses. Then he just lies down on the floor and goes to sleep.
—Most of the customers in the bank must happen to be wearing Nixon masks, so when we come in wearing our Nixon masks it doesn’t alarm anyone.
—There must be an empty parking space right out in front. If it has a meter, there must be time left on it, because our outfits don’t have pockets for change.
—The monkeys must grab the bags of money and not just shriek and go running all over the place, like they did in the practice run.
—The security cameras must be the early, old-timey kind that don’t actually take pictures.
—When the big clock in the lobby strikes two, everyone must stop and stare at it for at least ten minutes.
—The bank alarm must have mistakenly been set to “Quiet.” Or “Ebb tide.”
—The gold bars must be made out of a lighter kind of gold that’s just as valuable but easier to carry.
—If somebody runs out of the bank and yells, “Help! The bank is being robbed!,” he must be a neighborhood crazy person who people just laugh at.
—If the police come, they don’t notice that the historical mural on the wall is actually us, holding still.
—The bank’s lost-and-found department must have a gun that fires a suction cup with a wire attached to it. Also a chainsaw and a hang glider.
—When we spray the lobby with knockout gas, for some reason the gas doesn’t work on us.
—After the suction cup is stuck to the ceiling, it must hold long enough for Leon to pull himself up the wire while carrying the bags of money, the gold bars, and the hang glider. When he reaches the ceiling, he must be able to cut through it with the chainsaw and climb out.
—Any fingerprints we leave must be erased by the monkeys.
—Once on the roof, Leon must be able to hold on to the hang glider with one hand and the money and the gold bars with the other and launch himself off the roof. Then glide the twenty miles to the rendezvous point.
—When we exit the bank, there must be a parade going by, so our getaway car, which is decorated to look like a float, can blend right in.
—During the parade, our car must not win a prize for best float, because then we’ll have to have our picture taken with the award.
—At the rendezvous point, there must be an empty parking space with a meter that takes hundred-dollar bills.
—The robbery is blamed on the monkeys.
Oh annual rev in Hoovers? 2.81M.. Just enough to buy a warehouse and some equipment.. lol Maybe.
Wakabayashi Fund, gimme a break..
Funny when you lookup Wakabayashi Fund LLC in Hoovers (a D&B Company) they are listed with one person in their company, Janet Dilastone. Interesting spelling, no?
Here is their Toyko Office:
4-13-20, Mita
108-0073 Minato-Ku Tokyo
Japan
Phone: +81-366578339
Fax: +81-366578340
D-U-N-S# 712879923
So after her little SEC issue a few years ago she re-registers DUNS under a very different spelling of her name.. She's not using Jeff's last name Stone or her last lame Diller. Nor is she using Dillerstone. She used Dilastone.
Now the fun part:
Don't be a fool! LOL… There are some interesting links from this page. Checkout the LinkedIn pages. http://caps.fool.com/blogs/remember-our-friend-jeff/137171
More blah, blah here:
http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2010/04/16/109029.htm
My Favorite. Recognize the format? Just think BOD and Finance.. http://www.janettedillerstone.com/
Don't forget to review their website and click on the open link to Our Overview. See the names on that list. 85% of them are pure BS. Love the "Administrative / Compliance" recognize any of those names from other DD you have done? 2-3 degrees of separation, at most. Also don't forget to check the contact info. Address ties it back to Hoovers..
http://www.wakabayashifund.com/
This just proves you can probably bury and post whatever you want in SEC filings. Once you PR something like this.. Well that's going to give you some additional exposure. That's why you didn't see a PR from Brian.
He's either setting up a scheme to screw us or he's a dolt and is going to get burned by his
"request to engage the Wakabayashi Fund LLC., for financing and Investor Relations"
My guess is a little of both...
Holy cow Batman.. You really think the traders / analysts at the various MM's are calling around to other MM's to discuss their strategy regarding SYNJ? Dude, that's awesome... lol
It is what it is..
BEEN.. hehe
Yea.. all the MM's are against Brian, just like Cheveron and Exxon and United Saudi Oil.. LOL
Agreed.. ;)
Pickens, Palmetto, Rossi, Capitol Keys, Energy City Complex, Wakabayashi.. Blah, blah..
At least he didn't PR it to spam up the search engines.. Prolly safer too.. LOL
so Zero tomorrow? lol
Actually it won't matter. We can't get rid of Brian. Don't you get it. Brian is a one man show. The BOD's can't be removed. For lack of a better term they are "BOD's for hire" and have their priorities elsewhere. As for obtaining grants or funding from the source you mention, think about it.. Brian would actually have to hire someone with enough talent to apply for the grant or write it himself. You think he can write a compelling business plan to attract funding let alone be awarded a grant?
No. There won't be any alternative fuel produced by Pinnacle. This company is dead and the only hope we 'bagholders' (I mean shareholders) have is if Brian can come up with the next best thing and attract enough buzz to pump Syndication stock so we "longs" can bail out.
From their website and FB posts..
Settlement Conference Continues
BOISE, Idaho -- Sept. 27, 2011: There is very little we can say at this time about Monday's settlement conference between AEHI and the SEC, except to say that it is ongoing and none of the specifics are being discussed outside the courthouse. However, here is the statement released by the court:
"The scheduled judicially supervised mediation/settlement conference commenced at 9:30 a.m. and recessed at at 2:30 p.m., the Hon. Larry M. Boyle presiding. The individual defendants, together with representatives of the parties, appeared and participated in good faith settlement discussions. The conference will reconvene at a later date upon notice to Judge Boyle's chambers of available dates."
Dang.. get to 51% and he can maybe own the company and replace Brian.. Keep buying dude you rock! lol
wanna wager? It will be all pump and dump.. just like the last 3 times. There is nothing behind this company. It's fictitious and just a con game.
yep.. i agree..
I just want this POS at .0009 to exit.. If I'm allowed.. f'ing restrictions.. lol
I can look deeper.. It's been a couple of years, I'll reopen and go back through it.
What I can say with certainty and at this moment is anything Mark, Brian, Jay or Howard have touched has ended with a company going under, reversing into another company right after a nasty RS or stuck at no bid.
Jay by far is the most active. He's always owned his own accounting firm until recently when it dropped off the radar late 2009 early 2010.. He's very connected to Fastfix Inc. (as controller) and obviously to Deep Sea.. He's wicked smart, but I don't get the feeling he's in this business to be altruistic towards shareholders.. I don't think he cares about bio-fuel in the least. I get the sense shareholders are nothing more than a revenue stream..
In other words, dude only cares about squeezing every dime and gutting a company for profit before he moves on to the next best thing. IMO of course.
There are hints of connections between Howard and Jay in an earlier deal with Golden Triangle, but its complicated to explain..
Hello...
Follow the money guy...
Agree it’s all about the key exec’s? Also agree the CFO is pretty important in financial matters, no?
You see what’s coming right? You have been saying it for months..
Jay is going to do the same thing with SYNJ / BEEN he did with the Fastfix / Madison deal.. IMO of course.
Lost? ok.. Start here..
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/110516/13986048-k.html
Then read this closely.. or just skip to page 16
http://www.faqs.org/sec-filings/110607/Madison-Enterprises-Group-Inc_8-K.A/
Why doesn’t Jay just borrow from his pals at Highland Global to let Brian build his warehouse? Or from Mintz and spouses? All these guys go back to the good ‘ole syndication.net days.. No more than 2-3 degrees of separation in most cases.
One last thought on ‘key execs' as they seem to be the topic lately.
Irony, no?
http://4n6forensics.com/
No, not ironic. Jay is focused on his core business and that’s sitting behind the scene, under the radar, playing with a lot of our money.. lol
Noooo.. but then I'd have to re-learn all the tools - Again! Stupid Ameritrade.. lol
Don't get me wrong.. I'm here long and have been for 2-3 years. I'm in it for the prospect of having a plant built (jobs in my backyard) as well. I like the desalination idea and agree with you it’s even more pie in the sky than the plant.
IMO It’s the Energy Neutral “franchising” idea that will likely pay off in the future. What I meant by small investment in homeowner upgrades is that technology is only getting better. Say you purchase a house that is already built by, and is, energy neutral (meaning you spend zero for utilities). Say 5 years from now you upgrade the solar panels (or many other green systems in the house) with more efficient and less expensive components – you basically upgrade. By upgrading it may actually be possible to ‘generate’ power. This power will actually cause your power meter to ‘spin’ (which is old school since meters are smart and don’t spin anymore) backwards. You are, in essence ‘selling’ energy back to the power company. Eventually the upgrades pay for themselves.
I don’t know about burn rates and will check into Bucci – that caught my attention as well but I’m on another project at the moment.. Seems odd but as Bucci is CFO and with all the SEC attention lately it’s probably legit.
AEHI isn’t going to ‘operate’ the plant, they will bail years before a single watt gets generated. The suspect the plan is to get everything in order from concept to site selection to licensing process and then turn it over to more capable hands (for a hefty fee I’d imagine). I know what it says on the website, this is all IMO..
Also, and on a side note, if it’s small energy startups you are interested in.. Google “geothermal energy in Idaho” lol
Stockinvestor777 – Don’t have ability to reply to email. RE: last question you asked me. There are various way to recoup lost investments. Perfect example is with Jerry D. Cash and David E. Grose. Cash got slapped with 10k fine and can never hold office again. Grose got 16 years in prison, a 2 million fine. Looks like they went after spouse as well but couldn’t prove they were married. Point is, once SEC got finished with them, investors went after them and all the “Quest Affiliates”, especially Rockport Energy, LLC. Because Grose acted as secretary for Rockport as well. Eventually all of Quest and affiliates pulled a ‘gymnastic maneuver’ and merged to into “PostRock” Energy Corp hoping to dodge investors. The courts and the civil lawsuit didn’t care, and eventually PostRock settled with the investors..
weeeeee, to da moon then. Better buy them when they are cheap then. Wait, Can't buy them, there is a restriction.. dang.
I toured one of the houses for sale. Let me tell you, if Energy Neutral can really pull off the franchising bit.. This could go places. And the technology is getting more efficient. Imagine energy neutral homes where with even the smallest amount of homeowner tech upgrades will have the power company paying you for power... Time will tell.
Yes, I enjoy research, it's a huge part of my professional life and a personal hobby.. You gotta like what you do, no? ;)
Also, looks to me most people don't get my grammitcel sarcasm.. But, meh, I was never good at speeling anywho..
So you take the investor help the company get out of trouble so you can get your investment back approach? Seems like a lot of work to go through for a penny stock company.
I disagree about the history of non-professional / youthful behavioral exploits. It is relevant in this case. You are the sum of your experiences. Yes, everyone makes mistakes. But if you continue to make the same mistakes or display the same erratic behavior over and over again for 25+ years, you are either mentally ill, or given certain traits, a scam artist..
No, there isn't anything Brian could or would do to capitalize on 500k.. Do you know what it would take to produce enough bio-fuel to generate adequate income to break even? To even cover operating expenses? So many things have to be put into place and there are literally not enough resources. Think about the regulatory environment alone.. Brian needs financing. Who's going to touch him? How would you pitch him and SYNJ if you had to sell him to another company? How marketable is SYNJ?
Also, the Denami thing is crap.. Ever do in-depth research on Methes? Ever talk with any of their customer(s)? You know they share the same board of technical advisor with SYNJ? Pffft.. again, don't get me started.. BEEN financing? How much DD have you done on BEEN? You should really take a deeper and unbiased look there.. IMO
No, this dream is done and given Brian's history he won't come through. He's only out to line his pockets with the next big trendy idea.
Stockinvestor, I'd love to see this stock get to .0009 and then hope the buy and sell restrictions are removed.. I'd like to help, but do you think Brian would ever get on the phone? Do you think he even has a correct number posted? Can you walk into his office? Make an appointment with his receptionist? No. If he wants help he has great support at SCORE or some small business incubator in the DC Metro area.. I'd advise him to start there, he clearly lacks basic skills to manage business, he is clearly is in over his head. Or.. he knows exactly what he's doing and that makes him a rip-off artist. Either way Brian's bio-fuel dream is over. Investorshub is not the only stock board. He's taking a beating pretty much everywhere.
I kinda feel bad for him.. Kinda.. He's just one guy with poor business skills and a really, really bad strategy. He has poor 'people' judgment. Every single business partnership has ended badly. We won't attack his personal relationships or people skills, we can let BSIAFL do that.
Combine these facts with his inability to manage cash flow and can't or won't, which is a scary thought, pay taxes with lawsuits and judgements against him for pitiful amounts (like 200.00) of money.. My advice to him would be to take his 500k (if it is even his to take ) and put it towards retirement. Time to cash in and get a day job. He needs to go back to work..
Also agree with the earlier post every time you dig deeper, or tug on a thread you find scarier information..
Final question, would you buy more SYNJ knowing what you know now? Do you have criteria you use when investing? I didn't when I bought SYNJ and others.. I do now and CEO background is near the top of the list..
He put his house up for sale and at one point you could take an online tour. He is not a very good decorator.. lol
Then the housing market tanked and he almost got foreclosed on.. I think someone posted a case file link regarding back taxes or something.. Either way I'd hate to look at his credit score. He was recently sued for not paying someone $200.00..
Think any reputable bank is going to finance the equipment needed to start-up a biofuel company. That’s how he got into problems with the last scammer, he can't get traditional financing.
Think 500k he just got back will be spent on a warehouse and equipment? Nope.. He’s moving on to the next big idea..
Find anything new that wasn't already covered by earlier bios? Nope..
You still don’t get it. But that’s okay. Maybe I’m not explaining it right.. And again I totally thank you for trying to answer this nagging question.. :)
1. From that link you posted click on Mark Solomon’s name not his “Show details and sources.”
2. See the Spoke connection graphic? Click on the entity for ER Urgent Care Holdings
3. See the folder structure? Play around with that for a while. Especially the entity details and relation detail links..
See a pattern?
Information was either pulled by Intellectspace or from the SEC archives.. Follow the trail. Where did the SEC get his info? Where did Intellectspace get his info? You know exactly from where.. The info came from from PR’s and filings issued by poorly ran and or defunct pink sheet companies..
Back to square one.. It’s the same lame information everywhere you look..
BTW.. 1/7/2011, 3/3/2008 and 4/15/2008 are very interesting dates don’t you think..
Also, what is interesting is his education and company start and end dates.
The application interface used by the website at marketvisual.com is powered by IntellectSpace and is clearly generated by SAP. Why
this may not be interesting to the average nerd, SAP has a nifty and annoying bug (feature?) in its data entry module. It defaults to today’s date for anything that you are entering in that requires a start date.
Whoever added Mark's data at Marketvisual was lazy (and probably off-shore) and only populated the 'end' dates.
So if you drill down you can actually see 'when' Marks education and company 'connection or links' was actually created.
Fun eh? And also very interesting if you like Gantt charts and such..
"and has been influential in there success"
Nice grammer.. Looks like Brian's writing to me.. As for influencial in 'thier' success..
http://investing.businessweek.com/businessweek/research/stocks/snapshot/snapshot.asp?ticker=ERUC:US
Same old 'stuff' just another day..
Interesting way to view the same circular information. Did you follow the sources for each of those 'connections?'
Interesting stuff.. here's an example. Wonder where Bloomberg picked that from..
http://archives.intellectspace.com/bw/20071201/psrepo/3676/36766810.htm
Or maybe one of his hundred plus relatives can help us track him down..
http://people.switchboard.com/results.php?ReportType=34&qc=Fort+Lauderdale&qi=0&qk=10&qn=Solomon&qs=FL
Ahhh, nowhere.
That’s kind of my point. It's like this surreal version of “Where's Waldo?” I’m asking; Where is Waldo?
Point being, where is this magical board or brilliant directors? Who are they and why can't anyone verify (beyond some pumped up biography written by a pink sheet company) their existence.
We've been reading PR's for years now saying the Board has authorized this and the Board has directed that..
IF you can find one of the 'key executives' as listed on Brian's newest website.. give them a call them and ask what they think about CEO performance and how everything they have directed or authorized has continuously failed to be accomplished.
Plenty of links to verify his credentials here right?
I mean he's been with SYNJ since 1999, is the PAO for Town of Davie, FL Parks and Recreation Board since 2000, was appointed President and Director of ER Urgent Care Holdings, Inc. in 2007, a practicing attorney in Fort Lauderdale Florida with over 32 years of law practice, an adjunct professor with the University of Phoenix and is now on the BOD of Bio-Solutions Corp. in Canada.
You can start here:
http://www.davie-fl.gov/Pages/DavieFL_ParksRcrtn/ParksRecreation
They even have a search function because Florida IS
the “Sunshine” state.. :)
And end here or (Apollo's Archives):
http://www.phoenix.edu/faculty/our_faculty.html
I’m sorry to say you could spend all week searching for him to verify any of this and you will still only find Mark Solomon as a "bio-blurb" from a poorly run pink sheet company..
Try it.. Follow any path to verify any of this stuff. Westlaw, ABA Journal, faculty records, court documents, alumni journals, yearbooks, etc.
Has he ever published anything? What did he teach? What did he study at NYIT?
Surly someone with all these accomplishments has left digital crumbs or an electronic trail in the past 15 years.. What is he a Luddite with a pencil?
Also, just do the math.. He's 50? What do you think born in '62?
Dude holds a BS from NOVA (ever look that school up? lol) in ‘76, finished law school in '79, is a Grad of NYIT and has spent 32 years practicing law and he's 49-50. Dang Canadian math..
As for the other members of the board? Don’t even get me started..
Tall, no disrespect.. I’m telling you these dudes either don’t want to be found or don’t exist.. lol
OK.. That's your definition but it still doesn’t answer the question "WTF is a Combo Dividend?"
Thanks for providing the links but they don’t answer the question..
First link: Some defunct bank issued a PR and used the term to define a combined stock and cash dividend in 1995.
Second link: Some EU company voted for a combined dividend.
Third link: A graph from document about "Digging Into AT&T's Historical Dividend in 1985" The title of the graph was “Combination Dividend, Yield and Stock Price.. Meaning they were graphing dividend, yield and stock in a graph..
Fourth link: Relevant only because the two words showed up next to each other in some obscure document entitled: Tvm & Capital Budgeting Up to Mergers.. Actually if you leave the Google cached page and reload the current page it's easier to read.
So for argument sake, we will stick to your definition until we can get the answer. So if we use your definition what is it that Brian is going to "combo" with to give to us? Awesome shares of BEEN?
Exactly my point. Thanks though.. :)
Forward Split? Really.. When?
"15 days following the Record Date of the next Combo Dividend "
First: WTF is a “Combo Dividend.” Where / what is the actual definition (link to the term outside of Brian's bizarre lexicon, would be helpful)?
Second: The PR said “next Combo Dividend.” Exactly when was the last combo dividend? Wasn’t the last ‘regular’ dividend delayed indefinitely?
Third: What happened to the strict dividend schedule (and everything else mentioned) in the PR dated 2/15/2011?
http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/news.html?d=213803
“It was further resolved by the Board that the Company will adhere to a strict dividend issuance schedule and authorized the CEO to begin the process of releasing the same dividend for the 2nd Quarter 2011 with a "Declaration Date" on or about April 2nd 2011.
Fourth: Where did the Board go? I'm starting to think there was no actual board, just a couple of people paid to use their names and sign some documents. Sure there are all the impressive names out there, but we have a dozen SYNJ PR’s with impressive names like Pickens, Palmetto, Rossi, Capitol Key, Madrid…
Ever try to find any of these named Board Members? BTW, names and bios planted on crappy websites by Brian don’t count. Think they are interested in talking to investors? Ever try to find one, call them and ask about the dividend schedule? Good luck..
Unfortunately we will never get straight forward and or legitimate answers to any of these questions..
