I just read the announcement.
It looks very good to me.
There may be a bit of profit taking as it's already a ten bagger for some but the announcement is very nice and the stock still looks very cheap at a market cap of $7.5m
A director just bought $320,000 worth of shares.

I am surprised nobody is looking at this.
The results being reported are stunning!
This could easily become a rare earth monster!
If everything is as the company says it is and the deal is for real then it looks cheap in my opinion.
If there's a buy out then everything should turn out fine.
That's a big if though.
We have to wait and see I guess.
Something's up.
Either it's just oversold in a panic stricken market or something is going on.
This rallied on a weak day yesterday.
Trading volume surged again too.
It looks interesting and the product could become very big.
Good luck to all holders.
Quite a hefty fall today.
All that ramping had to come to an end at some point.
I wonder if anybody managed to short it today?
There would have been quite a bit of money made selling this today!
A HISTORY OF POOR EXECUTION!
There's a lot of hype on this stock but go and have a look at marketfriends.com
That's a website the company owns.
Click through some links and see how the pages load.
It should never have been launched in my opinion. Not even in beta!
A great idea and it had good potential but they should have built the thing properly before launching it.
andriodlistings.com is another great idea in my opinion but will it become a success.......?
Sorry to rain on the parade but I think some will thank me for expressing caution.
Hi Steve,
Thanks for starting the thread as I didn't think about doing it myself.
I agree wholeheartedly with your view. I have been watching it since the first spike up.
Cheers!
That's old news.
Something caused their stock to jump 44% yesterday.
New highs were made.
They reported their full year results and this analysis was included.

Hi Mike,
This is a risky stock. Whilst I haven't looked at any of that stuff you listed I think the stock has potential.
I am looking at the bigger picture of things.
I don't know about any of the finer details regarding the merger but my guess is they did scrip deals so no money would have changed hands.
I hope that helps.
Hi Jim,
The following link has a recorded conference call. It gives an outline of the company's plans and details of a recent acquisition.

I hope that helps.
Hi Jim,
As per this press release they report on Monday so there should be some stuff on their future outlook included.

I hope that helps.
What's going on with their JV in Albania.
The mineralized system sounds like a massive RE and chromite find.
Is there any new news about this?
The acquisition of additional land is the big clue in my opinion.
I just spotted this yesterday and yes I think some very good news is just around the corner.
Spring Valley already looks like a solid find so the additional land acquired surrounding the project suggests it's about to get a lot better!
Does anybody know why this stock has more than doubled in the past week?
Yeap it's good!
Hi ginchinchili,
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
It is very enlightening and very encouraging!
Lets hope there's some news of a good outcome soon!
Kind Regards
Chart shows strong bullish reversal pattern!
http://stock-tipper.com/2011/01/22/8%C3%978-nasdaqeght-is-a-strong-earnings-report-on-the-way/
There quarter is due to be reported on Wednesday.
The rewards program will probably add more fire to an already strong growth that was reported in their last quarter.
I could be wrong here but the chart suggests their will be very good results.
10c would be the safer buy signal as it would really confirm a break past resistance but on my chart I see 9.5c as the key figure.
A close above that level should see a break higher.
You never really know with charts but that's what I am looking at right now.
Discussions With Large US Retailers.
I think this is a stock to start watching closely!
Closed at 55c on Friday.
This article from Bloomberg is worth reading.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-01-18/vu1-in-talks-with-u-s-retail-big-boys-to-sell-non-toxic-light-bulbs.html
If a deal comes through there should be a major re-rating!
True but by the time that news is available the stock will already have been re-rated.
It's still trading sideways at the moment but I think there will be a positive development soon.
The sideway trading is good in my opinion as it shows stability. People think it's worth something now.
10 Bagger! - ASX Announcement Is Worth Reading In Full
http://stock-tipper.com/2011/01/17/eden-energy-otcedne-a-ten-bagger-stock/
It's an early call but if it goes past 9.5c it should go higher.
Volume did pick up on Friday
http://stock-tipper.com/2011/01/02/kraig-biocraft-laboratories-pinkkblb-support-found-and-a-possible-break-higher/
Above I have a link to an old article I wrote at the beginning of January. I mentioned that support was found and that a break higher was likely.
Not much has happened since then but heads up now!
Look at Friday's candle guys! Also there is a jump in trading volume!
Watch for a possible break on Monday!

You might want to listen to this interview.
The market will continue to grow in my opinion.
This sector is still at an infant stage in my opinion.
They keep reporting huge increases in their orders.......

It's worth a listen!!!!
People are still asleep at the wheel here!
Guidance Revised Upwards
Quite a strong reaction to the revised guidance.
29% gain and with major volume spike
Chart looks very bullish.
There may be more too it.
If insiders have loaded up what's the chance of a bid being made in the near future?
Just my thoughts and I could be way off the mark but that's what it looks like to me.
A Potential 10 Bagger!
Quarterly Report
1 Pyrolysis Project (Eden 100%)
Production of Carbon Nanotubes/Carbon Fibres/ Hydrogen
Through the pyrolysis process that has been developed, methane (natural gas) is broken down into its atomic constituents of hydrogen gas and solid carbon, without the production of carbon dioxide. In the Eden process, the solid carbon is produced as either carbon fibres or carbon nanotubes that have a tensile strength of up to several hundred\ times greater than that of steel. The new process, developed by Eden with the University of Queensland (UQ) and which Eden now owns 100%:
• appears from the results to date to be relatively efficient when compared with other methods of production of carbon nanotubes and fibres and uses only a relatively low level of energy and lower cost capital equipment compared with most other published methods;
• employs relatively low cost catalysts (no precious metals are used in the catalysts);
• has a low carbon footprint; and
• produces only hydrogen, carbon nanotubes and solid carbon fibres from natural gas, all of which have significant commercial market potential opening up the possibility of:
i. low-cost, super strong, ultra light carbon nanotubes that can possibly be used in a wide range of composite materials suitable for many types of commercial applications including the domestic automobile industry and construction industries in concrete strengthening and in carbon composite materials ;
ii. low-cost, high volume production of carbon nanofibres that are likely to possess significant electrical capacity opening up potential for use in a wide range of applications in batteries and electrical storage, and for electrical conductivity in composite materials due to their electrical conduction capability and ability to hold an electrical charge; and
iii. low-cost hydrogen production without the production of carbon dioxide as a byproduct that could help facilitate the more rapid spread of both hydrogen as a vehicle fuel and also Eden’s Hythane® technology as an ultra-clean, highly efficient premium blend of hydrogen and natural gas that it is marketing in India and USA.
If successfully piloted on a commercial scale, the process could have important implications for the widespread commercialisation of these forms of carbon whilst also producing relatively low cost hydrogen with an extremely low carbon footprint as the only by-product.
Initial Scale-up in USA
In July 2010 staff from Eden’s wholly owned subsidiary, Hythane Company visited the University of Queensland meeting the engineers involved in developing the technology. Upon return from Queensland, Hythane Company completed the procurement and installation of the equipment required for the initial scale-up. Hythane Company has built a catalyst production laboratory in US and catalysts for production of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and carbon nanofibres (CNF) have been produced and tested confirming their quality.
High Quality Hydrogen/ Carbon Production at US Facility
Since July 2010, the first scale-up of a batch production unit was designed and built by Hythane Company in US and is producing hydrogen and MWCNT or CNF (depending upon the particular catalyst that is used). This unit has an output capacity approximately 25 times larger than the original laboratory scale unit that was used at UQ. This US built unit has now been successfully trialed and produced hydrogen and either MWCNT or CNF on a batch basis, with stable, production levels for both forms of carbon being achieved. The quality and quantity of the MWCNT and CNF were measured and tested using high technology techniques including TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) photography and Raman Spectroscopy and the results to date of both the quality and the quantity of all carbon products are very encouraging. Two photographs and three TEM images of carbon nanotubes that have been produced by Hythane Company in US are attached (Figures 1-5).
First Prototype Continuous Production Unit Completed in US
During the quarter Hythane Company also completed the design and manufacture of its first, relatively small, prototype continuous production unit which has the capacity to produce up to 10 tonnes of carbon fibre per annum or up to 3 tonnes per annum of MWCNT. This unit is now successfully operating utilizing catalysts produced by Hythane Company and the carbon fibres and the carbon nanotubes that have been produced have been analysed and samples sent off for commercial assessment and testing. Eden anticipates that testing and final optimisation of the first prototype continuous production unit will be completed in early 2011
Small Commercial Scale Continuous Production Unit Planned in US
The second stage of the scale-up, to build a prototype of a modest sized, commercial scale, continuous production unit, will commence in the first quarter of 2011with a target completion date of the end of 2011. This unit is planned to be significantly larger than the first prototype unit that has already been successfully trialed, and is presently planned to have an output capacity of between 25-100 tonnes per annum of carbon nanotubes.
Growth of Carbon Nanotube and Carbon Fibre Market
There is a new but rapidly growing commercial market for these forms of solid carbon, particularly for carbon nanotubes, with current wholesale prices ranging from between US$300- $700 per kilogram and up to $4000 per kilogram depending primarily upon the type of carbon nanotubes but also on the size of the order. As an indication of anticipated market growth, one major international chemical manufacturer, Bayer Material Science, reports on its website that in 2009 it was designing a pilot scale unit with capacity to produce 200 tonnes per year of carbon nanotubes and its vision is to build a 3000 tonnes per annum capacity, production scale unit, possibly in 2011. They also state that tests have shown that when 1% of their carbon nanotubes are mixed with concrete it increases its compressive strength by up to 45%.
Timetable
It is planned that the commercial scale-up process will be completed by the end of 2011 or during the first half of 2012, at which time Eden projects that, subject to satisfactory resolution of any technical difficulties that may arise, it will have both a catalyst production capability and a fully developed pyrolysis production technology that together will enable Eden to produce and market commercial quantities of high quality, low cost hydrogen and carbon nanotubes and/or carbon fibres, which the company intends to market on a widespread basis.
Summary
Eden is well on the way to developing an efficient, commercially competitive process that will enable Eden to produce and market the carbon itself, or else licence others to use its technology.
Additionally, the only other major by-product from Eden’s pyrolysis process is hydrogen, the real cost of which will be dependent upon the value of the carbon produced. The quantity of hydrogen produced will be 33.33% (by weight) of the quantity of carbon produced and this can be captured fed into the various hydrogen/Hythane® applications that Eden has been developing around the world, with the intention of accelerating the commercial rollout of these downstream hydrogen applications based on the prospect of relatively low cost hydrogen. The current cost of hydrogen is one of the major factors holding back a broader rollout of hydrogen technology. Of further interest, the hydrogen produced using the Eden pyrolysis process will generate only a relatively small amount of greenhouse gas as a by-product of the production process compared with most other currently available methods of hydrogen production, and in consequence it is projected that the hydrogen will be both commercially competitive and extremely environmentally acceptable.
Is anybody following this stock?
This baby is flying ever since they completed the testing of their battery system with the CSIRO in Australia.
http://stock-tipper.com/2011/01/06/zbb-energy-amexzbb-rally-brings-new-highs/
The stock price is drifting again.
They need to announce a deal soon I think. That will change things.
For a while I thought it would break higher but it has run out of steam again.
