Is it financially safe to invest in a bankrupt company with a 3 Billion dollar asset value?
When is VYST going to buy back the 250 million shares they stated would happen?
After the 10K was released the per share value has decreased by .02 cents per share. Why? according to the VYST company description on E*trade. VYST Market Cap increased to 57.3 Million from 22.1 Million. At the same time the Shares outstanding increased to 1.0 Billion. This company is increased in value and volume. It will take time for us to regain share value. To become prosperous as before.
I stop by the ASCK property in Goldendale often. There is no activity there. The Goldendale Police Department borders ASCK Property. Yes, I stopped by the GPD. They have all invested in the ASCK stock. They told me that there was a surveyor in March. But that is all that has happened since the Property has been purchased.
There is such a need for ASCK homes to be built especially since all of the fires in the Paradise, California area. Also there is such a high cost of building homes to first time buyers. ASCK needs to get real. What is going on with them I do not know. But their concept is a great concept. There would be no problem finding big time investors to promote, design and make this company successful and prosperous. ASCK get with it. Quit eating out of the bowl of stupid.
I drove to Goldendale where their property is. There is not even a stake there in the Ground. Believe me these frauds are liars and crooks.They have no intention of ever building that plant.
Lets be real here. There is an affordable housing shortage all over America. Especially in Washington, Oregon and California. ASCKD should be able to stand on its own with all of the promotions, portfolio and visions. But they are not. They have bilked us investors out of $100's of thousands of dollars. If they were as real as the say they are. Then there would be other companies willing to buy into this type of Building Success. But there is none. These 2 men have lied and conned us all into their scam of supporting them while they do nothing. Does any of them have a criminal record? I hope the SEC brings charges against them.
I went to Goldendale and seen the property that ASCK has purchased. I also talked to John and Lee on the phone. I was told they are starting construction on this plant in the middle of April. This is when there will be a change in the value of ASCK stock.
Really! One year ago this stock was at .34 cents a share. Now really if this was a profitable well managed successful business. Why is the share value now a .0001 a share. It does not matter how many acres you buy or how many building you build. If you do not know how to manage what you have now. Then you should be either fired or put in jail for stealing from investors. John and Lee! Get real and get right with the law. Quit stealing from us investors who have put our hope and trust and money into your Auscrete minds and management. Get with the program.
Yesterday 03/19/2018 I drove to Goldendale, Washington to check out the reality of ASCK. I stopped by a Sinclair Gas Station and ask the Manager if he knew the location for the Auscrete Plant. The whole town was a Buzz about the plant. The ASCK property is located on Industrial Way across the street from the Power Plant in Goldendale's Industrial Area. One of the important parts of this finding is that the City of Goldendale is in need of affordable housing. As is the rest of our Country. The USA. I also at this time was able to talk to John one of the Owners and Developers of Auscrete Corporation. He informed me of how their Facility will work in producing Auscrete components to build affordable housing. In description "brick and mortar" for the thousands of home that will or can be built at a cost estimate of $100 dollars a square foot which in today's market is affordable. The building of the the Auscrete Plant will begin in mid April.

How much does it cost for graphene?
As of end-2015, the market price of graphene was about $100 per gram. Once the method of production is optimised and scaled up, the cost of graphene is expected to come down to the cost of the raw materials, which will likely be centered on the existing suppliers for graphite: China and India.

Graphite: The Newest "Next Big Thing"
Monday July 09, 2012 15:08
Most micro-cap resource stocks have been underwater since a four year high ended in early March 2011 with the Toronto Venture Exchange Index down over 50% since that time. Stock performance has been abysmal despite record or near-record prices for most commodities in 2011 and continuing high prices in 2012.
Many factors have contributed to the decline in junior exploration and mining stocks and I see little evidence for a quick recovery. However, stock markets, and certainly yours truly, will always find something to be long on. That current something for me in the junior resource sector is graphite.
Along with diamond, graphite is an allotrope of the semi-metal element carbon. However, it has almost the exact opposite physical and chemical properties. Graphite is gray to black, opaque with a metallic luster, a soft mineral with Mohs hardness of 1 to 2, and arranged in parallel hexagonal sheets. It is chemically inert and flexible, yet very strong. Graphite is of low specific gravity, highly refractory with a 3927 C melting point, and electrically and thermally conductive. Its unique characteristics have led to many industrial applications. Graphite deposits occur in high-grade metamorphic rocks that are widespread and abundant across the Earth. They tend to be small deposits that make low-cost mines.
Graphite is much more than the lead in your pencil and the carbon fiber additive that lets you “grip it and rip it” with a big-headed composite driver. These uses actually constitute a small part of demand. Three-quarters of the world’s graphite is used in traditional applications such as steel-making, foundry moldings, refractories, auto parts, and lubricants. Minor uses include batteries, pencils, electronics, and numerous other products. Significant future demand growth is projected to include fuel cells, lithium-ion and vanadium redox batteries, and pebble-bed nuclear reactors. Development and commercial application of the much-ballyhooed graphene (single atom layer graphite) technology is a decade or more away.
The graphite industry is divided into three parts: natural, synthetic, and carbon fiber. Supply cannot meet current demand, and prices have risen substantially since late 2009. The world market is worth about $13 billion per year, of which $8 billion is synthetic graphite, $4 billion is carbon fiber, and $1 billion is natural graphite. It is further broken down into these sources:
Synthetic graphite and carbon fiber are high purity, expensive forms produced from petroleum coke, primarily in the United States with significant exports to other consuming countries. They constitute the majority of graphite demand.
Natural graphite production is mainly from small underground mines in China. By the early 2000s, graphite mines outside of China were rendered uneconomic when it flooded the market and drove prices down. World production totaled about 1.1 million tonnes in 2011 with an estimated 75 % coming from that country. Other countries with significant graphite mine production include Brazil, North Korea, Canada, India, Romania, Ukraine, Mexico, Madagascar, Austria, Turkey, and Sri Lanka.
Three types of natural graphite are produced:
Vein, aka lump graphite, is coarsely crystalline, a small specialized market, and the highest-priced natural graphite. It is produced from Sri Lanka mines by hand-sorting and comprises only 1% of the market.
Flake graphite is categorized by crystal size with large (+80 mesh), medium (-80 to +100 mesh), and fine (-100 to +300 mesh). Marketable products must grade 94-97% graphitic carbon (Cg) and are used for both traditional and new applications. Flake constitutes 49% of the market.
Amorphous powder graphite a misnomer. It is actually crystalline but very fine grained (-300 mesh). At 80-85% Cg, the amorphous variety is used for lower-priced applications and amounts to 50% of the total natural graphite market.
In general, larger crystal sizes and higher Cg content command higher prices per tonne.
Demand has increased over the past 18 years, although not exactly year over year. The natural graphite industry is strongly correlated with world economic health, illustrated by the chart below:
Rapid growth in demand has led to significant price increases over the past three years:
Source: Industrial Minerals Inc
Many specialized markets command premium prices but require further purification and processing. Examples include spherical graphite, necessary for Li-ion batteries, and expanded graphite, used increasingly in heat-sensitive applications.
Natural graphite uses are broken down as follows:
Growing users include the refractory and foundry industries and especially the battery sector.
Reminiscent of the rare earth element run-up in 2009-2010, the graphite boom is driven by these catalysts:
Prices have increased because traditional demand exceeds mine supply. New technology applications have favored flake graphite, widening the price gap over amorphous graphite.
China has few flake deposits and mostly mines low-value amorphous graphite underground.
With domestic demand growing, China is restricting exports thru taxes and licensing and may impose export quotas.
China is rationalizing its fragmented industry into a state-sponsored monopoly or oligopoly to remediate environmental degradation, improve labor standards, and address infrastructure and transportation problems.
The Western World views dependency on Chinese graphite as an unreliable and capricious source.
With rising prices, new export policies, and consolidation in China, graphite companies have been successfully promoted with dramatic increases in market capitalizations.
Like the REE bubble in 2009-2011, graphite is now the “Next Big Thing.”
Also much like the rare earth elements, graphite deposits are plentiful and occur worldwide. The best deposits are restricted to high-grade metamorphic terranes whose protoliths were organic-bearing sedimentary rocks. Most deposits are small, structurally deformed lenses that are irregular in geometry.
One year ago I was aware of two graphite-focused companies on the Toronto Venture Exchange. Based on evaluations of the commodity fundamentals and insight into those particular stocks, I became a shareholder of a private graphite development company that went public in February 2012. At this juncture, these three companies appear to be ahead of the game and are in my opinion “the cream of the crop”.
Now it seems every snake, shark, charlatan, and shyster within a half kilometer of Vancouver’s Coal Harbor has a new graphite deal via a capital pool company, shell, IPO, or change of business. The bubble has blown up quickly with over 35 listed Venture Exchange companies and more than 50 worldwide that hold graphite projects. There are doubtless many more in process.
Like recent junior sector bubbles (e.g., uranium, lithium, rare earth elements, Colombia gold, Yukon gold), the graphite space will fill with many pretenders amongst the very few contenders. Many will mine the stock market until another next big thing comes along. As per previous booms, 95% or more are destined to fail.
Promotion of micro-cap graphite companies has been tied to future growth of high tech and green tech applications. However, demand from traditional applications is currently pressuring supply, and many mines in China are nearly the end of their productive lives. Therefore, there is optimism that this particular boom will demonstrate some staying power.
My favorite few are graphite developers that have an advanced deposit or a former mine in a geopolitically stable and mining-friendly location, nearby infrastructure including highway, power, water, and port, high-grade (> 5%) and/or a high percentage flake component, open pit configuration with a low strip ratio, and favorable process metallurgy.
Graphite beneficiation uses standard mineral industry technology with crushing, grinding, flotation, drying, packing, and shipping. However, producing a marketable concentrate with >94% Cg content often requires multi-stage processing that reduces flake size. As with most commodities, metallurgy can be a fatal flaw and as always, a graphite producer should fall into the lowest cost quartile of its peers to ensure sufficient margins in times of slow demand and low prices.
Most graphite deposits are small so there should be room for development of a number of mines by competent juniors. Rationalization of the business by merger and acquisition will probably occur and may lead to large, integrated mine-to-market graphite companies. There are a dozen large public and private synthetic graphite and carbon fiber companies worldwide, and they likely will be players as the up-and-coming natural graphite mining sector consolidates.
Graphite does not trade openly and marketing and sales are of utmost importance. Capital expenditures should be significantly less than $100 million and at one past-producing mine, capex is projected at under $25 million. Project financings are likely to be achieved thru a combination of off-take agreements with strategic partners (consumers and end-users) and private debt instruments (merchant banks, hedge funds, and/or high net-worth investors), and hopefully not by equity raises that tend to dilute and harm early shareholders.
Because mines tend to be small with low capital requirements, the graphite market is more suited to junior companies with limited financial means than the lithium or REE sectors that generally require huge capital expenditures and a major partner.
A graphite company is no different than any other junior resource company. In addition to evaluating its flagship project, we must always assess a company’s share structure, the people, and its peer market valuation. In that regard, I urge you to read about my proven evaluation methods and trading philosophy at www.MercenaryGeologist.com.

It is true. There are 20 billion shares. I do not know why the SEC allows a start up company to buy so many shares. To me it is like stealing from the OTC investor. You sell a billion shares add a billion more to take the investors capital. Then do it again and again. This company started in June 2015 at $20 dollars a share. By October of 2015 ASCK went to $99 dollars a share now it is at .0003 a share. What is with that. Where did all that money go. They haven't even started building their energy efficient homes yet. What!!!!
I live about 125 miles from Rufus and Godendale. On Friday I am driving to Kennewick for my best friends Birthday. I will drive to Goldendale and then Rufus to find out the real story behind ASCK. I will write my finding next week here on Investorshub.

I have been using Pink Sheets OTC information for years. You can always contact them or the agencies they post for up to date information on any company posted there.
I bought this in November when it was .0179 cents a share. I drove up to Rufus, Oregon. It is a small rural community right on the Columbia River. There is a Shipping dock there on the Columbia. It is also with access to I-84 freeway. There is no problem for shipping their prefab structures by land or by sea. Excellent access for producing and shipping their products.

@ 665.1 outstanding shares and a market cap at 2.2 billion dollars. the stock value per share is supposedly worth over $3.00 a share. Whats up with this?
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Fuel cells were invented over a century ago and have been used in practically every NASA mission since the 1960's, but until now, they have not gained widespread adoption because of their inherently high costs.
Legacy fuel cell technologies like proton exchange membranes (PEMs), phosphoric acid fuel cells (PAFCs), and molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs), have all required expensive precious metals, corrosive acids, or hard to contain molten materials. Combined with performance that has been only marginally better than alternatives, they have not been able to deliver a strong enough economic value proposition to overcome the status quo.
Some makers of legacy fuel cell technologies have tried to overcome these limitations by offering combined heat and power (CHP) schemes to take advantage of their wasted heat. While CHP does improve the economic value proposition, it only really does so in environments with exactly the right ratios of heat and power requirements on a 24/7/365 basis. Everywhere else the cost, complexity, and customization of CHP tends to outweigh the benefits.
For decades, experts have agreed that solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) hold the greatest potential of any fuel cell technology. With low cost ceramic materials, and extremely high electrical efficiencies, SOFCs can deliver attractive economics without relying on CHP. But until now, there were significant technical challenges inhibiting the commercialization of this promising new technology. SOFCs operate at extremely high temperature (typically above 800°C). This high temperature gives them extremely high electrical efficiencies, and fuel flexibility, both of which contribute to better economics, but it also creates engineering challenges.
Bloom has solved these engineering challenges. With breakthroughs in materials science, and revolutionary new design, Bloom's SOFC technology is a cost effective, all-electric solution.
Over a century in the making, fuel cells are finally clean, reliable, and most importantly, affordable.
Go to Bloomenergy to see how a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell works.
This is America, country of inventors, entrepreneurs, investors and a way to develop, produce and expand. This will be no problem for a company with a vision and a patented technology as COTES does. I bought into COTES a couple of months ago. I will add.more shares weekly. The price of Fuel going up only makes COTES a great wise Investment.
If he is talking to Chinese Ship Builders, this could be HUGE. China is the world's largest exporter of goods. They've got a massive fleet of Ships. They know that the bottom line is PROFIT. That means saving money on Maintenance and Fuel is part of being successful and profitable.
Most likely She will run this Company into the ground like other Company CEO's have. They treat investors like politicians do. Their thoughts and actions are as "We are Joe Six Packs and Molly Muddle Heads. Or just a bunch of dumb sheep. I have 11 companies in my Portfolio that are totally WORTHLESS, because they operated and deceived Investors just like BRWC has or is doing.
China is a great country to sell Water. Their water ways are 75% polluted, some waterways are so polluted that they can not use the polluted water for crop irrigation. With a population of 1.5 Billion + that is allot of water needed for drinking.
As time passes, Investors or New Investors will forget about how bad they were Financially Abused by these type of Cons, Crooks, Scams and Swindlers. These type of Companies are like Magicians they have all kinds of fancy PR's up their sleeves. I would hope that SEC would start cracking down. bringing felony charges and fines against these liars, thieves and money sucking parasites.
Stocks increase and have value only on revenue. not PR's. I have emailed and received replies from The CEO. I ask her why she does not let the value of investors investment grow and give us confidence in BRWC. She would not answer the Question. Who cares if there was a Silver Award on their water. I am here to make money, not to pay for awards. This Companies share value will only fluctuate between .0003 and .0015. That is their Mentality and their treatment of us investors.
5 Billion A/S 2.5 for investors to trade. 2.5 for BRWC to dilute and take investors money with. Look at the average of 150 million shares traded daily.
I hope the CEO likes spending our money She did not earn.
According to the Article on 60 Minutes Sunday night, the investigation on available fresh Water for use or drinking, They Classified Water as the New Oil for consumers. Fresh water is disappearing out of large regions of the Earth. Population explosion and drought.[/b]
There is 5 Billion Shares. 2.5 billion for the investors. 2.5 Billion for BRWC to take our money with. Get real. 320 MILLION SHARES TRADED YESTERDAY. IT WENT UP .0001. Do I feel like stupid? yep sure do..................
I am a Throat cancer survivor. If it wasn't for Radiation, Chemo Therapy and the

I bought into this Company because of the information I received from my broker E*TRADE. Which is totally different from the information I receive here or from OTC Pink.
IF THERE IS NOW DEBT why then yesterday and today are there 100's of MILLIONS OF shares being sold? Get real She is a LIAR. Dilution all the WAY TO The Bank.
Have you ever seen a Parasite in action or a bunch of Maggots devouring a carcass. Well you are now. Reminds me of the stench of death. Criminals I tell you. MELYD Criminals.
I have reported MELYD E trade. With all their articles of deception and lies. My broker will have MELYD investigated. I have a list of so many of the Penny Stock Companies that turn out to be SCAMS. The SEC needs to start convicting these criminal acts and start punishing the crimes and set examples to the other intentional law breakers.
Investors need to start a WEB site to collectively engage in legal action against the lawless acts of companies like MELYD and other violators. If we could find a reputable lawyer to defend investors. I know the federal government doesn't give a rip. I have worked with federal agency. What a joke.
Who cares! 7.5 billion or 2.5 billion - They stole from me with the their lies and there scams. The whole lot of them will be in court and I hope jail. I am not the only one that was deceived by these thieves.
MELYD spent all of our investment money. They still have 7.5 billion A/S shares. Over the past 6 months the have lied to US INVESTORs. They have done nothing with the Company and our money. I hope Brett loves BUBBA in Prison. There will be and investigation into the false misleading fraudulent statements made by MELYD. This is another scam, hustle, rip off.
