I am excited but I can't help but sleep. The excitement has worn me out so I think it is time to rest so I can wake up fully charged and ready.

Here's to hoping it keeps moving up!

This makes me even more excited. I like happy mornings.

Sector 9 has a large sum of dealer locations.

For those of you that don't already know...
DTRO owns Elasco which creates and sells Eco-friendly skateboard wheels to Sector 9.

I have done some digging on the Sector 9 site and they have their products at Ron Jon Surf Shops, Quicksilver stores, Rip Curl, some Billabong stores, and numerous other stores.

I don't know if the eco-friendly wheels are actually in the stores, but at least there are plenty of stores that the wheels could be in.

I have been confused too. I read some stuff about having a silver award winning beer but I think the company that produced the beer was a subsidiary of another company that also owned Hacketts Stores or something. As of right now I am just along for the ride. Everything looks pretty good outside of the weird information.

Elasco should be able to stand by their product. They have been around awhile so they should be fine. Although it does seem like they would be able to break pretty easily. I guess we will find out when a billion videos of the wheels falling off mid-trick show up on youtube. I would assume they are pretty solid though.

I ended up looking at a Tilley fedora and almost died laughing at the review. One thing is for sure... they have quite the variety of products.

Hacketts Stores.
For people who really like retail.

At least they are trying to hire people that will like the job.

I wonder if the a play on words dance would work...
Livestock. Live stock... Stock that is living. All life comes down to photosynthesis. Which takes place in green plants. So basically a livestock dance could become a Green Stock dance with enough emphasis. A couple hip swings and a well place electric slide section and I think we could all be set for life.

I like the variety. It leaves room for a lot of different shoppers. It is one of those stores you go into to buy one thing and then realize that you need a billion other things.

Pretty impressive looking. I think I could do some shopping there. With a store looking that good, I could see quite a few people shopping there. I can see room for some pretty big growth

I just went to the Sector 9 site. They have two different sizes for the biothane soy wheels and they come in four different colors. That is pretty good news. That means that anyone has access to them and it isn't exclusive to people that want a whole sector 9 board.

I think the next acquisition will show the way. I am hoping the news comes soon though. I get impatient and they might not be able to hold up for as long as they could if they don't put out constant good news.

If you want I can try doing a stock dance. I don't know if it would help because I am not an Indian. That and the Indians didn't have stocks...

I think I read that Sector 9 makes the skateboards. I think that Elasco provides the wheels and Sector 9 makes everything else. I could be completely off though.

I thought they were terrible but I guess to some they were pretty bearable.

I won't be impressed until someone summarizes the company in rhyme.
Villanelles are also acceptable.

There is always room for other disasters. Mining accidents, oils spills, and fires... well they happen enough. Looking at their site it seems like they want to cover everything. I was worried that its use would be too limited but they are at least trying to cover every possible market imaginable.

I guess it is kind of bad to look forward to disasters to see how their product performs... but as long as their product performs up to par I don't feel so bad. If it fails miserably... then I will feel bad.

I am hoping they acquire a new business soon. Just one more company would allow me to see exactly what their plan is. I see synergistic marketing campaigns but they could move towards synergistic production. Either way I think it is safe to say that any good news will push DTRO up even further.

Only rhyming posts in honor of the green!
That is... only if you understand what I mean.

This is actually kind of lame...
let's keep these posts a bit more tame.

...Yeah.

I thought that it might hit a but closer to the penny, but I can't complain about the gain. I have hope that it will keep going up for the next few days.

That was a great read. I didn't realize that they could get into all sorts of rescue and mining markets. This company is going to go far with the right focus.

Oh how nice of you to ask. I am enjoying the gain(although I hoped for more) and I am eating a wrap. What's up with you?

I noticed a bit earlier. It brought my hopes up to new levels. We shall just have to see what the morning has in store...

It seems to be just as I suspected. They are probably going to try to cross the niche markets of their products. Rebreathers and eco-friendly polyurethane aren't so far apart if you look at the possible applications and how they apply to specific markets.

Not only do they have their own website but Blu Vu has an ad on there.

I am not sure if that is a lot in respect to the trade, but it sure sounds good enough to me. I will just sit in my own little world of DTRO good news.

And this is why "going green" can be a good thing. The oil spill only excited the movement. A few more environmental disasters and DTRO may never have to worry again.

The only potential danger that could come up is their ability to acquire relevant businesses. If they can't continue to acquire relevant businesses that can serve one another then the company is doomed to fail. The news is big now, but it needs to continue or DTRO won't be able to stand a chance in a world where niche markets are changing constantly. They also need to maintain pressure over the businesses they do control to make sure that they stay on top. If one product becomes irrelevant then the others could surely follow.

I see them grabbing at businesses that produce seemingly different products but could be marketed in similar ways to similar groups. This may be a stretch but if they were smart they would try to cross their markets. Supplying Billabong with product allows them to also market rebreathers to some extent to a market that has the potential to buy into it. I see DTRO moving towards a sort of Vertical Integration structure. If not through the products sold, then through linking markets to each other so that they can increase profit margins in all markets involved.

DTRO may be small now but their products, with the right campaign, could hit a lot of big, untouched markets. If their products are of the quality they claim then they will be big into the future, especially if they keep acquiring profitable companies.

So far their rebreathers have the potential to hit all of the deep sea research going on due to the oil spill and the research that is going on to find new species. This technology also allows recreational divers to go deeper and experience something new they have yet to see.

Acquiring Elasco and having a contract with Sector 9 to make eco-friendly wheels allows them to hit the alternative "Go Green" movement that continues to sweep across the country.

I personally think that DTRO is only going to go up from here and with the right acquisitions DTRO could become a pretty big company.

Not only are they working with Billabong, but they are also making Eco-friendly wheels for skateboards. Now that may seem like a small detail, but if the wheels are high quality then they are hitting a huge market. Teens in general are being brought into the "Go Green" movement and are becoming a target market for it. I may be generalizing a bit much but a lot of people that enjoy skateboarding and surfing also live alternative lifestyles often associated with recycling and going green. Regardless, it is a big move.

Well right now is the perfect time for any sort of ad campaign. Normally, they could only appeal to a select crowd, but if they can get the product into the oil spill then I think the product will speak for itself. People are watching the tests that are going on, and that kind of exposure would be priceless.

I checked their site out earlier. Makes me want to get into diving, but for now I will just continue with my stocks and make money off of other divers.

I am in the same boat. It is a boat made out of "green" polyurethane and is filled with high-quality internationally patented rebreathers,

Making profit more profitable is always a good thing as long as the companies they acquire stay profitable. Losing an arm could hurt pretty badly. I mean the body would still be functional... just less efficient. Regardless, I see great things coming.

I completely agree, but this oil spill also presents a unique opportunity to the company in that people will want to study the overall effect that the spill has had on the environment. Even when the hype over drilling dies, better diving equipment will always be essential in searching for new species that live beyond present reach. As long as the company is willing to stay on top of the market I think that they can thrive far into the future.

I was thinking the same thing. I like the concept of DTRO and the diversity of products that they are putting out their make it seem like an all around good pick to me. High quality rebreathers and "green" products can only thrive in a time when the environment is a big concern.

It would be great if the SEC banned shorting in some way or another, but the government has never been to big on meddling with business. Even though it would probably help stabilize the economy to some extent. Regardless, it couldn't hurt.

I kind of agree. I liken it to online poker. Some people go all in just so that the pot goes up, but that just takes the fun and strategy out of the game. It all comes at a cost though, they are more likely to go bust first. Leaving the table open for bigger plays by the remaining players; even if the balance among the players becomes slightly skewed. It is much wiser to take steady profits but sometimes the risk, if well played, can always benefit you. I personally think that traders just need to be a bit more rash with their decisions.

I am new to stock trading and as a rookie I am concerned about losing the money that I put in. I have noticed that shorts are pretty common place. When looking into buying a specific stock should I stay away from any sign of shorting, or should I base my decision solely on the performance of the stock and the speculation of how the stock will perform in the future?
