No because NDOL alone had earlier projected 2.3 million barrels for 2006.
Actually I think my previous post falls in line with only being the current production rate of NDOL and not including North West Oil. The numbers I posted earlier fall closer to the rate NDOL alone had projected for this period.
Brad
Guess it is a good thing I used the word revenue and not profit, huh.
Brad
At the bottom of today's PR you will read where they state the current production rate for NDOL, and I will assume North West Oil, is 120,000 metric tons. 120,000 metric tons converts to 879,694.8 barrels of oil annually. 879,694 annual barrels at say $70 a barrel comes to a revenue base of $61,578,566. Someone earlier may have already posted this but since I just got home from work, I just ran the figures.

Thanks kodiak and all for your help. the e-mail I had on file was the same one in his profile. Perhaps I will see him wondering around one of these boards one day. Hopefully all is well with him.
Brad
kodiak and or lady - Seems both of you now run this message board. Back around 2001 or 2002 a friend of mine from Ponder, Texas started this board, his alias was Dallas Boy. At that time this was a sub-penny board only. I lived close to him in Texas but I moved to California during 2003 and for the past 1 - 2 years I have not spoken with him. I tried sending him an e-mail earlier this week but his e-mail no longer exists. I came here the other night and found he is no longer here. Do either of you know where he went or what happened to him?

Article in USA Today on HKBV CEO Dated 8/7/2005
By Stephanie Armour, USA TODAY
Larry "Buzzy" Twombly remembers feeling angry, angry enough to want to get up and punch the driver of the Trans Am who'd just barreled through the stop sign at 70 miles an hour. Twombly had flown off his motorcycle and crashed through the windshield of the car that hit him, but he didn't feel pain. Just anger.
By Dan MacMedan, USA TODAY
Larry Twombly is CEO of Hat Trick Beverage.
For a minute on that chilly, fall day in November 1984, he stood on his own. The Harvard freshman and athlete who'd already had been drafted by the National Hockey League was physically strong, and adrenaline gave him an extra rush. He tried to take a step and looked down.
That's when he realized his foot wasn't really there. All that was holding it to his left leg were a few red veins and a tendon. His entire ankle, as well as his future as a professional hockey player, had been destroyed in that late afternoon motorcycle accident.
The life-changing experience that left Twombly in a semi-conscious state for nearly two months was also the start of a new entrepreneurial career direction. A stratospheric hockey contract was no longer a possibility. But to Twombly's way of thinking, it meant a whole new world of opportunity in business was possible. Just over 10 years later, he is the CEO of Hat Trick Beverage (HKBV), a publicly traded company in Encinitas, Calif., that is set to do about $5 million in sales this year.
The company makes three distinctive beverage products and is poised to start acquiring other products to bring to market. It is also looking to expand across the USA and open up small distributorships.
About Twombly
Name: Larry "Buzzy" Twombly.
Date of birth: April 1, 1966.
Place of birth: Manchester, N.H.
Education: Harvard University. Graduated in 1988 with a degree in international business.
Family: Wife, Jill; daughter, Alexandra, 10; and son, Brady, 8.
Key career mileposts: Sales manager for a potato chip manufacturer, 1995. Developed and launched Buzzy's Coffee. Sold product in 2004. Launched Hat Trick Beverage, 2004.
Hobbies: Recreational hockey, spending time with his children.
"My accident experience benefits everything I'm doing now," says Twombly, a frank-talking, 39-year-old raised in Manchester, N.H. "I don't think I've been in a bad mood for a whole day since. It was a weight lifted off my shoulders. I realized I don't have to be that hockey player anymore. I could choose my own destiny."
New products find markets
Hat Trick has found success by introducing new products rather than trying to mimic what's already in the marketplace. It makes Vitality, a fruit-flavored vitamin drink that, unlike many others, is sugar-free, and is available in flavors such as cranberry-pomegranate and green apple. There is also Snap Z, an energy drink offered at restaurants and bars. And Dos Lagos, a line of water-based drinks popular with the Hispanic community.
The drink, known as aguas frescas, was a beverage that Twombly discovered during a weekend trip to Mexico. There, he saw people ladling the sweet-tasting beverage out of large barrels. When he realized the aguas frescas weren't sold in a bottled variety in the USA, he launched his own. Now they are sold in more than 1,250 independent convenience stores and markets in San Diego, Los Angeles and Arizona. Sales are expected to top $2.2 million this year.
A future as a beverage maker and entrepreneur was not something Twombly really considered as a boy growing up in New Hampshire, the son of a truck driver father and a mother who worked part time as a diner waitress. Sports were always a part of his life. In the winter, the swampy, mosquito-infested pond in his backyard would freeze over, and Twombly and his neighborhood friends would lace on skates and play hockey.
With two older sisters and a younger brother, Twombly was the first to go to college. He went to Harvard on a scholarship, but he felt somewhat out of place. His background didn't seem to mesh. For a short time, he had a roommate. The first thing his roommate asked him was, "What does your father do for a living?"
"Probably works for your dad," Twombly replied.
Defying the odds
But Twombly thrived on the ice, playing for the Harvard Crimson. Already drafted to play for the Boston Bruins, Twombly majored in international business but expected to play hockey. Instead, he spent months recovering from the accident.
He defied the odds. Despite the injury, which shattered his tibia and fibula in 12 places, Twombly went on to play as a center in the minors: the Maine Mariners, the Providence Bruins and the San Diego Gulls.
His recovery was slow. He had to rebuild his strength; he'd withered from 195 to 110 pounds while in the hospital. Doctors created a new ankle out of plastic, Kevlar and titanium — basically, making it bulletproof.
While playing for the Gulls, he met his wife, Jill, who is chief financial officer for a computer company.
It was in San Diego that his business acumen developed. With summers off, he took various jobs, including sales manager for a potato chip distributor. He left that job in 1995, becoming self-employed and developing his first beverage product, an iced-coffee drink. He developed and researched the product on his own, spending $20,000 of his wife's and his money.
He sold the product to a venture-capital group in exchange for stock. The stock was restricted (he couldn't sell it for a specific amount of time), so by the time he could sell it, he says, the stock was worthless.
He then began working as a consultant, helping others launch products, and developed a strong networking relationship with area distributors. Then he started his own company, Hat Trick, a hockey term that refers to the rare occasion when one player scores three goals in a game.
"He has charisma, a phenomenal grasp of the industry as a whole. He understands the customer, product and competition," says Chris Flanagan, a soft-drink distributor who has partnered with Twombly. "He's excellent at seeing the big picture."
As a CEO and entrepreneur, he also believes that his years devoted to hockey influence the way he approaches leadership. Every day, he says, is an essential game.
"When I'm growing up, in hockey, if you don't produce, you're cut. I got that from hockey," Twombly says. "You have to get up and treat every day as though it's the most important practice, the most important day, of your life."
Twombly is a father to Alexandra, 10, and Brady, 8, and keeps a busy schedule. As a CEO, he believes firmly in not setting unrealistic company goals. He also strives to remain accessible, even taking personal calls from his shareholders. The company went public in December.
"I have my phone number on everything and take their calls," he says, answering questions such as what the company's plans are and if the company is growing. Twombly knows that, because of his accident, he is no quitter.
"After the accident, there were so many times I should have quit, but once I start something, I don't quit," he says. "The way I approach things is in a simple, pragmatic way. You have to walk before you can run. I don't set unrealistic goals for myself, or for the company."

Ah, but it seems HKBV's up trend has already begun.

Where did my old friend Dallas Boy go?
HKBV at .007 cents. Check out the MACD in the Chart I have attached. The MACD is crossing the centerline, the PPS has broken through the 50 day moving average, the stock is trying to breakout of the Bollinger Band, RSI and Money flow are Both rising.

brikk, I believe 30 cents is a very realistic expectation and perhaps 50 cents on news of another major acquisition.
Brad
For those who are interested, I have been checking with the TA on a regular basis. I checked with them today and the O/S remains the same as it was back in February following the settling of the share distribution in reflection to the two recent acquisitions. As I posted on RB, the fact we have a penny stock here that has not sold a single share into this recent PPS run, well that adds credibility in my book.
Brad
Okay, Raging Bull is still all jacked up so here I am.

New to this forum but would suggest taking a look at AMNM. The stock has double bottomed and has just begun an attempt at a reversal and is slowly setting higher highs and higher lows. The stock is now attempting to break the 50 day moving average and in my opinion I think the chart looks technically set to pop big in the next few days.
The OTC Journal is behind this stock and has mentioned they will be conducting an interview with the CEO after the first of the year and after some sort of unknown information has been released. In addition, on Dec 26th, the OTC Journal made the following statement in their news letter to their members -
"Watch for a complete reversal of fortune between now and the end of January."
- and -
"The story will unfold after the Christmas Holiday."
Considering they are in contact with the company, one may assume from their comments that they are aware of some breaking news that will be released in January.
AMNM is based in the San Jose area, I recently found the information below linking them to a new 2 year, 8,520 square feet lease in San Diego which is some 500 miles away from their base. Perhaps this new lease has something to do with the coming news.
Published: 12/19/2003. Industrial: Amnis Systems, Inc. has leased 8,520 square feet of industrial space at
Sorrento Mesa, 9155 Brown Deer Road, Suites 7, 8, San Diego, 92121, from Brown Dee Park, LLC.
The property, leased for two years at $176,850, will be used for a market leader in the networked streaming video market.
The lessee was represented by Jed Stirnkorb of Burnham Real Estate Services.
The lessor was represented by Dean Asaro of CB Richard Ellis.

As I stated, technically I think the stock looks set for a big move with a well known group, The OTC Journal, which has a large base of followers and will provide the fuel to the stock once it breaks out. Good luck to all and I will be looking over some of the other stocks mentioned on this board.
Nice to see all you RB members here, I hope this board works better than RB.
Keep your eyes on SGNT this week. The company is crap and like many penny stocks will likely end up in Bankruptcy Court eventually but many technical indicator point to a possible breakout that could come as soon as tomorrow. May make a good momentum day-trade for a quick double. Watch for the volume spike if it comes, let that be your indicator.
