I had no problem finding that PR yesterday. It showed up on my Yahoo and Pink sheets on time like all other Pr's..................No problem for me??
the good par is that they are still saying the project is a go.If you put rumors and PR together...........you get a good picture of the potential. Looks like in a short time we will know if this dog is going to hunt. Yet the stock is sitting there like it is constipated.............
I think it depend on whether it is a buy or sell order. I tried a buy limit order electronically and it said contact your broker, but that was a buy order. I also place a limit order electronically to sell and that was accepted.
From experience I have to often call the broker on special stocks that are volatile or pinkies.It becomes a hastle and can get worse when they will not let you sell.It takes a while for them to get to that point.................and then it can be lifted when ever Scott feels like it.
There are never any explanations or real reasons that you can plan on. So just use another broker like Zecco, bank of america ,e-trade.......these three I mentioned do not use the DTCC for clearing their trades and they do not seem to do this restricting of pinks. It may be that Scott does not make much money on pinks and they want to get out of that area......IMO
Scottrade does this all the time on volatile stocks or stock that knight may be shorting. It is a big burden to deal with them.I am thinking of transferring my account to avoid this problem.right now scott will let you sell but not place an electronic order to buy.they may let you place and order if you call...................but it is a hastle.........if they let you buy with broker assistance on the order, always ask for the internet rate

The markets are closed..............it does not mean anything.
In this PR near the end it states :
" I believe the science behind (autoimmune disease therapies) is remarkable, paradigm-shifting science. We have a lot of hope that this technology can help millions of people."
Firm looks to therapies based on UCCS professor's research
Dec 16, 2009 (The Gazette - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- A small California company has signed licensing agreements for medical technology developed by a local biology professor to treat cancer, HIV and other autoimmune diseases, but any drugs or other treatments likely are years from being available to the public.
Viral Genetics Inc. plans to seek Food and Drug Administration approval during the first quarter to begin testing a new type of drug that targets the response of an individual's immune system to fight off HIV, cancer, lupus, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases, said Haig Keledjian, the company's president. The drug was developed from research conducted by Karen Newell, a University of Colorado at Colorado Springs associate biology professor.
"We are confident that Viral Genetics has the capacity to develop these technologies into products with significant impact," said David Allen, associate vice president for technology transfer at the University of Colorado, which signed the agreement with the company.
"This agreement enables us to work towards bringing a diverse array of drug therapies to the market, all based on technology developed by" Newell, Keledjian said in a press release. "This is cutting-edge science that Karen has developed."
Viral Genetics is studying whether to seek grants from foundations and the National Institutes for Health to pay for testing in the United States, although the company already has conducted human trials in China, Mexico and South Africa, Keledjian said.
The company also has signed a second license agreement to develop cancer therapies using Newell's research into the chemical compound dichloroacetate that indicates the compound robs cancerous tumors of energy they need to grow. That agreement will allow the company and Newell to "pursue new lines of research," which Keledjian said have "tremendous potential to help patients with drug-resistant tumors, the leading cause of death" from cancer.
Both technologies "are in the early stages and require proof of concept," said David Poticha, senior licensing manager for the Technology Transfer Office at University of Colorado at Denver's Anschutz Medical Campus. "Both licenses address enormous potential markets, but are years away from reaching the market. I believe the science behind (autoimmune disease therapies) is remarkable, paradigm-shifting science. We have a lot of hope that this technology can help millions of people."
Viral Genetics is based in Azusa, Calif., and stems from work started in 1992 by Keledjian and Dr. Harry Zhabilov, who died in 2002. The company's stock still trades over the counter, even though Viral Genetics deregistered its shares in March with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Also from the Dec 3 PR: "Newell's recent work has uncovered a drug target that may offer a new strategy in treating a wide variety of immune-related disorders and diseases. Cancer, HIV, lupus, Type I diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis are all among the disorders that may be treatable using this approach. Newell's work targets an early interaction in the cascade of events that results in T cell activation, a central component of the body's immune response. This approach allows for more targeted control over the body's immune response against its own and other cells."
also from teh Dec 8, 2008 PR: "Dr. Montagnier, Nobel Prize winner 2008 for his role in the discovery of HIV, said:
“While some preventive candidate vaccines failed to protect against HIV infection, and since there is no treatment able to cure the disease, it is important to come back to basic research and to explore new ways of research and treatment such as those explored by Viral Genetics. This is why I joined the Advisory Board of this Company.”
No.......I understand all that.that is correct. I was just mentioning a third possibility and capability if possible and feasible. This third potentiality of having a removable On -Off system would just save you that extra fuel that is still used up in the retracted position because of weight and drag.
It is just a thought I had................it may be practice for smaller planes may be...........just a thought that to me would make it more appealing if possible.We will have to wait and see.
right..............that is what I am saying.What if you where the military or any country with a lot of water around it. What If you could store these units for a plane when those planes are not used for water landings.Then if a need comes up.......they could be bolted on and then the plane would turn into a multipurpose plane with both land and water capabilities.
Perfect system for emergency services or the ,military or tourism etc................I just don't know if that is possible? The removable aspect would save you fuel............IMO
OT:............Caught the Brown trout a month ago on the white river in Arkansas..............below Bull shoals lake , near the head waters of the White river.
You mention natural disasters...............all of which seems appropriate and almost hinted at as a target market for this product by the PR. What came to my mind was what if this whole float thing can be retrofitted as a bolt on removable assembly??
Where they could be used on a need basis?? It appears that the landing gear is not effected and this float is retrofitted around it and power by the same hydraulics. It seems that they could be put on and taken off when not in use............If they where removable it would save on fuel when not used for water landings.That way a planes used could be greatly enhanced and reduce the cost of having two types of planes..............any thoughts?
It does not have to be that complicated.They can only short your shares if they are held in a "margin account". Just keep shares you do not want to be shorted without you permission in a "cash" account.
Most brokers ask you how you want them held? You can have both types of accounts.
There’s a form of the securities
fraud known as naked short selling
that is becoming very popular and lucrative to the Market Makers that practice it. It is known as “Cellar boxing” and it has to do with the fact that the NASD and the SEC had to arbitrarily set a minimum level at which a stock can trade. This level was set at $.0001 or one-one hundredth of a penny. This level is appropriately referred to as “the cellar”. This $.0001 level can be used as a "backstop" for all kinds of market maker and naked short selling manipulations.
“Cellar boxing” has been one of the security frauds du jour since 1999 when the market went to a “decimalization” basis. In the pre-decimalization days the minimum market spread for most stocks was set at 1/8th of a dollar and the market makers were guaranteed a healthy “spread”. Since decimalization came into effect, those one-eighth of a dollar spreads now are often only a penny as you can see in Microsoft’s quote throughout the day. Where did the unscrupulous MMs go to make up for all of this lost income? They headed "south" to the OTCBB and Pink Sheets where the protective effects from naked short selling like Rule 10-a, and NASD Rules 3350, 3360, and 3370 are nonexistent.
The unique aspect of needing an arbitrary “cellar” level is that the lowest possible incremental gain above this cellar level represents a 100% spread available to MMs making a market in these securities. When compared to the typical spread in Microsoft of perhaps four-tenths of 1%, this is pretty tempting territory. In fact, when the market is no bid to $.0001 offer there is theoretically an infinite spread.
In order to participate in “cellar boxing”, the MMs first need to pummel the price per share down to these levels. The lower they can force the share price, the larger are the percentage spreads to feed off of. This is easily done via garden variety naked short selling. In fact if the MM is large enough and has enough visibility of buy and sell orders as well as order flow, he can simultaneously be acting as the conduit for the sale of nonexistent shares through Canadian co-conspiring broker/dealers and their associates with his right hand at the same time that his left hand is naked short selling into every buy order that appears through its own proprietary accounts. The key here is to be a dominant enough of a MM to have visibility of these buy orders. This is referred to as "broker/dealer internalization" or naked short selling via "desking" which refers to the market makers trading desk. While the right hand is busy flooding the victim company's market with "counterfeit" shares that can be sold at any instant in time the left hand is nullifying any upward pressure in share price
by neutralizing the demand for the securities. The net effect becomes no demonstrable demand for shares and a huge oversupply of shares which induces a downward spiral in share price.
In fact, until the "beefed up" version of Rule 3370 (Affirmative determination in writing of "borrowability" by settlement date) becomes effective, U.S. MMs have been "legally" processing naked short sale orders out of Canada and other offshore locations even though they and the clearing firms involved knew by history that these shares were in no way going to be delivered. The question that then begs to be asked is how "the system" can allow these obviously bogus sell orders to clear and settle. To find the answer to this one need look no further than to Addendum "C" to the Rules and Regulations of the NSCC subdivision of the DTCC. This gaping loophole allows the DTCC, which is basically the 11,000 b/ds and banks that we refer to as "Wall Street”, to borrow shares from those investors naive enough to hold these shares in "street name" at their brokerage firm. This amounts to about 95% of us. Theoretically, this “borrow” was designed to allow trades to clear and settle that involved LEGITIMATE 1 OR 2 DAY delays in delivery. This "borrow" is done unbeknownst to the investor that purchased the shares in question and amounts to probably the largest "conflict of interest" known to mankind. The question becomes would these investors knowingly loan, without compensation, their shares to those whose intent is to bankrupt their investment if they knew that the loan process was the key mechanism needed for the naked short sellers to effect their goal? Another question that arises is should the investor's b/d who just earned a commission and therefore owes its client a fiduciary duty of care, be acting as the intermediary in this loan process keeping in mind that this b/d is being paid the cash value of the shares being loaned as a means of collateralizing the loan, all unbeknownst to his client the purchaser.

I heard rumors of around a 100 million a year. form the past I remember each module could handle like 600 tons a day and would produce something like 35 million in revenues a year. I can't remember if that was net or gross.
All of it we used to talk in the past when the stock ran up to $1.60..............but right now it is a waste of mental energy it seems unless we can get to first base and get financing. If that happens we will all have plenty of time to play with the numbers.
that will be the real fun part of the investment, because if we can get one plant ............we can then play dominoes and multiply those numbers into real nice Money.
Rdwild:..........I think that is a wise move to wait until they actually do something.This buying on speculation is risky.we all have plenty of risky shares. It is time for them to actually produce.
If they don't produce this time.............who knows what? IMO.......all we can do is keep some positive waves going on to keep any good work they have going in the right direction.That is about all we can do now.
We shareholders gave them a vote of confidence by allowing the increase in shares. We said............OK, we trust you one more time despite the past.Many here have given them their trust and money many times only to be let down.This has to be a make it or break it time. I am leaning on the make it side...........yet not buying more until I see some real performance.If the price drifts lower ....OK. Looking at the chart I would not be surprised if it went lower here if no news..........that is to be expected.
We need a real material event to change the direction of the chart ............IMO.
Thanks for the reply.............I am in the process of analyzing why???
I sold 15% of the investment at higher prices.......that is why I am asking Questions?.........to figure out what to do with the rest.
Mr Chitter............why do you continue to invest in this company?? You or anyone else can go first.
I have been asking for a few days now and no one can answer why they are invested here. Posters put out statements like it is going too Two dollars...............and I am buying.
Yet NO one can back up those statement with anything but hope.This must be a sore point......because I have like posts deleted just because I am asking hard questions.
I am not recommending this to anyone NOW.Why should I?
I don't know squat what the real time line is here or what they got.They got dilution coming and then more waiting........and hope they can pump it up.
I got played on this first run up while the ones in the know sell into it keeping the investors here with hopes of dollars.they know the time line and know it will take a long time.......Meanwhile they dangle the carrot of riches down the line while we hold.
I am not hurt. I got in at the lows of around a nickle.but have been in this stock before the fell over the Vanadium by sheer luck.I have seen the 'bulls and bear pump before..........and they found nothing.
I am finding out by making noise that you guys don't know more than I do and are investing on hope and a prayer with no details.We are in the same little boat and I am now getting restless because I see risk.
I am not demanding...........it just seems everybody is caught with their pants down and can't even give a simple response to simple questions.that is what I wanted to point out.
All we have is "feelings".....
You can't tell me why it will be at your two dollar prediction. all you have is hope.........no time lines , no why's.
I know all about it. I have been there like you and then woke up. so I decided to ask around this board to see if others had more DD than me.They don't............
That is not investing...........that is dreaming. You are just mad you can't answer the questions. So you come up with excuses like spelling , off topic, call investors relations............and finally the best is ........we don't have to tell you!.......nahh............nahh.......Nahh.
what are you going to say to TSX investors??..............Ugghh!...........just call investors relations.We don't know for ourselves why we are here.
Don't you find that disturbing?
You may be right 10-11-12..............tell me why they are inaccurate. Who are you using for better in formation/accuracy?
Why are you buying the stock? Lets pretend I am a new comer form the TSX.................what would you tell them?
50 bags sounds great...........why do you feel that way. Has investors relations told you that?

Our system posted a SELL CONFIRMED today. The previous BUY recommendation was issued on 12.23.2009 (20) days ago, when the stock price was 0.4100. Since then URST has fallen -2.44% .
SELL-IF is confirmed by a black candlestick with a higher open and a lower close. The selling price is the previous close ( 0.4100 ) according to the Rules of Confirmation.
The recent bearish pattern leading to the SELL-IF signal is confirmed today. The market is poised for a bearish move. Though the market opened higher today, the day’s activity created a black candlestick that closed below the previous close. This is one of our valid bearish confirmation criteria.
The slight failure of the previous BUY signal is currently confirmed, too. We closely monitor the performance of the signals, but a few shots missing the target slightly are inevitable when you deal with the stock market. However, such signal failures are more unlikely for higher rated stocks.
We hope that you sold this stock . Probably you realized a small loss but it is better to cut the losses short. Your important benchmark today was the previous close. You were supposed to watch the session carefully, feel its bearish tendency despite the higher opening and sell your shares after making sure that the prices stay below the previous close.
If you sold, keep away from this stock until the confirmation of a new BUY-IF signal unless there is not an emergency warning. What to do if you did not already sell? Maybe, you did not have time to follow the session or you simply delegated the delicate job of confirmation to us. Well, it is a bit late, but not too late. You may still find suitable prices for selling your shares in the following sessions.
The market is an inviting one for short-sellers. Risk lovers may now go for short sale. The market is already moving on the side of shorts ignoring the confirmed bullish patterns.

Today a Black Candlestick was formed. This represents normal selling pressure.
I called E-trade and they said to me .......No change.
Mr chitter......I find it fascinating that no one has flung one real reply. I want to hear it from you, the investor.But everyone is running scared.........why?
Have the predictions of what you been told come true? Are you happy with that performance?
I have called the company in the past and their predictions where wrong. We never made it to a dollar in Sept, not close. So what good is to go back to a source that does not produce?Are you satisfied with that?
So, are you saying we should only get information from the company directly ........and then not share it on this board? Because that is what appears to be happening.Am I wrong?
Nobody wants to share the information........why is that?
Do you really think the listing alone will move the price?.............I don't know if it will. I was in another stock that got on the Amex and they just took it down until there it actually got close to production.It was a Canadian mining stock.the whole story did take quite a while.
How do we avoid the lack of interest over time here?Production seems a long time way. What do you see as the next event that will have to happen to benefit the stock after listing?
Do you have a time line as to when you would think the price of the stock will reflect more of its potential? do you think the stock is fairly priced now?
After drilling results there will have to be some private placements to fund further development of resource.Do you think there is enough good news to balance the dilution that is inevitable?
They may be full of bull Ripp.............They are just another little bit of info while we wait.Why don't you share with us what you are waiting for??...........May be that will help everyone to hold their stock. I would like to know........it keeps my mind off the price.TIA
I hope you are right Mr Crunch:.............I really do.Here is the other side of the prediction coin.We will have to wait and see how it unfolds.

Our system posted a SELL-IF today. The previous BUY recommendation was issued on 12.23.2009 (19) days ago, when the stock price was 0.4100. Since then URST has gained 0.00% .
A bearish pattern has developed and a SELL-IF alert is issued today. The task is now to confirm the validity of this bearish pattern. We ask your effort and time. A good starting point is to keep an eye on after-hours trading and futures trading to get preliminary hints about market direction. Related news, events, economic data, and the outlook of the world markets must be closely followed prior to confirmation session.
There are three possible cases of bearish confirmation. You have to follow the session closely to see if these cases will hold or not.
The market opens with a downward gap, signaling a bearish sentiment in the first case. Your benchmark will be the opening price. If the prices stay below the benchmark, sell your shares. Any black candlestick with a downward gap is a valid bearish confirmation criterion.
In the second case, the market opens at a level, equal to or above the previous day’s close. The benchmark is that closing price. If prices during the session stay below the benchmark, sell your shares. Any black candlestick closing below the previous day’s close is the second confirmation criterion.
If, however, in both cases, the prices during the session start going over the benchmark avoid selling.
The third case of confirmation is rarely observed. The market opens with a big upward gap suggesting a very bullish day, and the day ends with a black candlestick, but still closing above the previous day’s close. Such a day satisfies the third confirmation criterion and the closing price of the black candlestick is the benchmark.
If one of the three confirmation criteria is not fulfilled, or in case of a white candlestick or a doji on the confirmation day, the SELL-IF alert remains valid, however, without confirmation and the three confirmation criteria are then sought in the following day. The only exception is the long white candlestick. Any white candlestick following a SELL-IF alert makes the signal void and invalid.
The market looks strong on the short side. So you may continue to carry the existing short positions. If the SELL-IF is confirmed, new short sale positions may be considered.

Cycling..........someone is cycling the stock.........while we hold the bad. Bou yaa!!!
Now is the time 10-10..............load up
May be we can delete the share price???
Ohhhh..Boy!!
ringo................please take a walk. all full of hot air
Arkansas:................Here and reporting in. High today of 11 degrees and the low about -2 degrees.The power went out last night.........only for a few hours. Back on now..........except part of the water lines froze. We will thaw them out and be back up in a bit.
fire houses are being used as warm up shelter for people who can't keep warm.Governor has declared a state of emergency because of the extended cold.this is the coldest spell in the last 10 years around here. The IPWG Chill has nothing on us here...........:)
Keep the faith, Keep the shares and keep moving.........brrrr!
NOT as bad as last years ice storm where the majority of the Ozarks lost most of all their power lines along with thousands of poles falling down.A real disaster it was.We made it though for 8 days no power.
Actually I enjoyed it for a bit.Felt like living in the last century. You live by candle light, fire wood. You go early to bed and you stay in bed because it is to cold to get up.
the most striking contrast was the quiet...........Very quiet, no lights any where. NO computers, no cell phones...........none of that stuff. Helps you remember what is important.......IMO.
things line up if you do your research on the stock. Just go back and read the Press releases and read the boards.there are three of them on IPWG. You have to do your research alone and can't expect everyone else to do it for you.If you rely on others you will not be happy.
Once you do your own work you will know if you should be scared or you should buy more............but first you have to know if you are a long term investor and why? or if you are a quick jump in and out trader.
Most people here have been here for years and they will help you........but you have to step up first and help your self.there is no substitute for that,. Investing is very hard work full of stress..........it is not easy. It is work. Many here do it all day long for years, and even then we loose money may be half of the time, yet hope to make it up on others such as IPWG when they go up a lot.......IMO
that is pretty funny..........might as well laugh, can't cry yet.
If you talk to the company they are still very positive......so I don't know what to say about the volume. It could all be a great buying opp.It probably is that......because it is not a great selling opp.even if you bought at these prices before.....and I did buy some.I am holding those for the hope it all works out and makes me even.
so if you use a logic of sorts......now is the best time to buy and reduce your risk.If it goes lower.........it is even a better time...........ha...haa..........Heee...he whoo...hoo.......that is how I see it.
I just love bargains and nobody can prove to me that it is not the right thing to do...........
Sure cash could be right........but so could the buyers right in here..........IMO
You are missing the boat Ebb..........you are trying to use the power of force and intimidation to get the job done.It is a misdirection of cause. You are acting like the DTC is at fault or conspiring in some way.
The power of The Truth lies with IPWG itself. They got us into this and only they can get us out.
The chill is not the result of some conspiratorial effort on the part of the DTC.They DTC could have done nothing if it wasn't for the problems created by the stock loans that IPWG started.
I think it is naive to think it will have any effect and may in fact be detrimental........IMO
Many possible reasons............most likely the chill has something to do with it. Limited participation by all.Also the stock trend has not been broken and is still down.for just technical s it should test the lows before any run up.Plus market makers make money on a fluctuating stock price, so they make it go up and down if there is no news.
Puss there appears to be delays in the rumor schedule.........even though there may not be any delays in fact.It is all rumor and fear driven the price on pinks. Many expect the touching of the lows if there is any good news expected.that comes from experience with pennies.there always seems to be a shake out before the run up.
could also be that the chill will be lifted and this is the last time to get cheap ones.could be the chill will stay on and the deal is delayed again. all a guess by us mere mortals.......IMO.
No.......I don't think I know him.
IMO..........it is dangerous to ask about stock advice and where someone caught the "big" one. You are most likely going to get a fish story............:)
Caught it on the White River of Arkansas. on a 5" Rapalla countdown lure. caught at night with 10 lbs test line and took about 15 minutes to bring in. The weather was cold, barometer falling and snow later that night. It was a blue moon with perfect low water conditions. I took took three casts................then bam!! fish on...........
PS;..........it took about a years worth of effort and failures.
May be there is a connection to investing..........Hmmm? I will have to ponder that.To be positive.................the same thing could happen here.Unexpectedly...............IMO
Money2010:..........IMO, You should not be in this stock if you re worried about loosing $500 bucks.This is an extremely risky stock.
the facts are is that there is a chill............risky, second we are waiting on financing.we have been waiting for four years.every time line and date for such events has never happened.the company is diluting the shares to stay alive. If they don't get the financing.................well, .......you will most likely loose the whole enchilada.Plus........if this is dragged out for what ever reasons the stock will continue in its downward direction and could even make new lows.I would expect it on any delays in fact.
the only way to stop the decline is for the two events we are waiting for to happen soon. If you are upset by what I have said..........you have exceed your risk factor.YOU should be scared, I am scared..........and I have been here for years. I have lost lots of money here..........and I am not alone.
No one on this board can guarantee anything.......because they don't really know.Probably they company does not really know.there are people that think they might have insider information and know what is going on............they don't.
From my personal experience the sort of information is never given.It is foolish to think it is.this is risky.............and the future is unknown.
