YAY RAPT !!!!!!!!!!!!
I was watching "The O'Rielly factor" and he congratulated Raptor Technologies in Florida for donating to O'Rielly's wounded warrior charity !!!!!!!!!!!!!
rubidium is about 3 tons a year, so there may be several minerals/metals that might compete for smallest production. Maybe plutonium?
I agree there are opportunities for "rare" stuff - also has to be uses for rare stuff to drive the price!
I just thought it worth mentioning in one of my previous posts, the rareity of Tellurium and it being the main active ingredient in photovoltaic cells, just for anyone out there contemplating any investment in the solar industry. To me its just as ugly as CWNR. I've researched energy trends for years and IMHO neither solar nor wind is the answer. Unfortunately the greenies want to tear out all the hydros and you can smell what the Rock's cookin when it comes to Nuclear. It wont be long until we'll be surfin the net with candlepower.
Todd is a pretty great young exec, he has been a good communicator with me, he was in the meeting I had with the team on Feb 23rd, been on all the phone calls and all but two emails, is it material that he did not say the same story to every body, well no, is he lying, I don't think so, I think he is new to the "start a company up" game and has not had the coaching and counseling that I have seen other young guys get.
I was just joking about the "rat bastard" thing, a good example of how statements can get misconstrued via the internet. Thats what the "lol" part was in there right after the "rat bastard" statement. I dont ever consider a man to be a liar unless I have some certainty to that effect.
So far as remote locations I'd be a big fan of 1. Researching and examining the tailing piles and estimating worth. 2. Calculating approximate revenues and building a fresh plant (as opposed to tearing down an old one and relocating) with the additional possibility of making said plant with an easily convertable secondary purpose so that when the tailings were all processed it would still hold a saleable value, then move on to the next project although having multiple facilities working at the same time. This all equals increased employement and revenues.
China has cornered the market of all kinds of metals that industrial societies need. And I trade for a living, so I've been making a lot of money trading the rare earths. Just look at REE, MCP, and AVL the last few days.
The hard rock I have has a Tellurium content. I've read this is the rarest element on the planet most of it harvested as a by product of copper smelting/production. "TE" is the ingredient in solar panels that make the photovoltaic cells work.
Its been said that the yearly total production of TE would not fill one of those mining trucks they use at the Bingham Mine in Utah.

If I may, I did talk with Tom G about that and yep, they plan specific customer/JV sites so that the materials can be processed locally and the now really wastes can be disposed of locally usually under the host site's waste permits.
Well now, that rat bastard (lol) Todd didnt tell me that. Dont those guys eat lunch together? Rofl..........
Heres more pics for you guys. This is some of my ore before and after processing, some placer etc.
The first one is of my little hard rock processing station.
http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt97/Goldenmeister/system1-1.jpg
Heres a couple chunks that came off the ore body I showed earlier.
http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt97/Goldenmeister/sunore2.jpg
http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt97/Goldenmeister/sunore.jpg
Heres what the good stuff looks like after running it through the whole system and concentrating it down. It gets pretty fine in size when I run it through.
http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt97/Goldenmeister/Goldbeach1.jpg
Then heres a chunk (one of many) that I harvested in Prairie City Oregon. That chunk weighs in total about 5 1/2 pounds.
http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt97/Goldenmeister/PCORE.jpg
Then heres a nugget I found in a creek. Rich Gulch, in Oregon. Be careful if you visit there, the locals shoot first and ask questions later. I just happen to be with the "in crowd" down there, lol........
http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt97/Goldenmeister/58001.jpg
Did you ask the question of mgmt at any time about whether they were planning to only use the Florida location?
Yes, I did. Todd told me that at this time everything was going to be done in the Florida location. Sometime here in the future I'm going to call and put the bug in the ear about different locations.
And BTW, when you say "Oh contrare(?)........ ", I assume you are saying that it could be possible to apply RAPT technology to the 800K piles SFMI is saying they have available and above ground.
Right?????
Oh and another thing, is that you in the photo?
Also, I assumed from RAPT web site readings, that they (RAPT) were targeting tailings that were from cyanide operations. What of this? Which would be the best to work on? tailings piles like at SFMI or cyanided waste piles?
If those tailing piles are as you suggest, tails that were a result of following the vein then yes, RAPT could well utilize those for production. Yes, thats me in the photo, lol..........
Cyanided waste piles certainly have some of the minerals removed but each chemical process was, generally, targeted to a specific metal. Different metal requires different methods. Did you know that there is no one single acid that will dissolve gold? I believe that recoveries in non-cyanided tails will yield more content but OTOH I am not fully aware of what it is exactly RAPT is doing or how.
But disability is not a free pass to be insulting.
I'm in 100% agreement with you on that.
One of our posters did jump, pretty hard on a repeated question by another following the first poster's comments - it resulted in a pretty good rant when could have been a pretty quick link to a book,
I concur and hopefully it's ended.
You jumped me for not posting links
That was not my intention, to "jump" you. I apologize if thats how it came across. Links are valued.
but to start slamming and jamming for any questions, is unfortuantely part of all-to-often IHUBBER behavior and my desire to have all of the RAPTsters avoid that.
Once again, I agree fully.
I've seen one apology here, I dont need, want or expect anymore. I'm just hopin that I can start "feelin the love" here once again, lol................
You and I, we're on the same page, and once again I apologize if my request for you to post links wasnt well received.
Its all good, I hope.
well in to the terms of service violation with the personal attacks,
Heya CC and everyone else here........
In the beginning when I got the moderator duties here I made it pretty clear that I was going to be pretty liberal when it came to discussion(s) here stopping short of ad homenim attacks and personal insults. At this point of late I havent seen anything so aggregious that I need to delete any posts.
A couple things........
We're all interested in the same thing here. Nothing personal but Whaz I think you may have taken things a little personal, maybe rightly so but no one was aware of your situation and now that everyone here is aware of that I'm hoping we can all just bury the hatchett and move on. Think about this guys, the technicalities of recent discussion is very very minor in comparison to the real problems of the day. We're all mature adults and hopefully we can let bygones be just that, please, really. Open discussion is a value to us all and no matter how minor the input it is all still input and should be taken for what it is.
I'm respectfully requesting, since we are all now on the same page that the issue of "Nison's" reference material be a thing of the past. Lets not allow this to escalate to a point where anyone at all is feeling alienated, please?
Comments requested.
So ,in that regard, I'd like to learn that there is more value that can be gotten out of the rock that is being ground up by SFMI, but I gather from the totality of your posts on the chemistry that the process RAPT uses is probably not usable when the precious mineralization is in the kind of rock being ground up at SFMI.
Oh contrare(?)........
Imagine an ore body, in general terms like this. Imagine you have a wet sponge lying on your countertop, then you take a teaspoon of purple dye or food coloring and pour it on to the middle of the sponge. Naturally there will be a very colored spot (the main ore body) in the middle of the sponge that gets lighter in color as the dye travels outward from the center of that sponge (the lighter color being the tailings that werent processed). A mining company sees that colored spot and thats what they go after.
http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt97/Goldenmeister/Muck1.jpg
Follow that link at look at the picture, this is in the very beginning before I started harvesting the minerals. Note that just above the hole there is a "V" shape which is two seperate veins joining together which consists of rusty iron enriched veins of gold, quartz, cuprous, sulpher, pgm's etc. Then in between and above the V shape you can see the grey rock. Generally in the past a miner would go after those two veins, do a gravity type seperation which pulls out for the most part anything specific gravity 10 or heavier depending on the method of gravity seperation. The "waste" rock or material that didnt get caught up in the "heavies" would then be discarded. But there are plenty of those minerals in that waste, its just so disemminated in the lighter rock (tailings) that it doesnt get captured by the recovery. That is what RAPT is going after but they are using the same method that mother nature used (for the most part) that placed those minerals there in the originally. Its my belief that nearly all tailings that came from near the ore body will bear some content of precious metals. Know this however, sometimes there is the case where core drilling is utilized to discover an ore body where the drill may go through any number of feet in distance to actually get to the ore body then they drift (tunnel) in to the ore body itself which would yield tons of useless waste rock.
So, the richest tails are going to be those tails where someone is following an ore body or vein as opposed to just the excess rock which might have been simply blasted out of the way to get to the ore body. All of this is predictable and for the most part visible upon inspection of the tails. The way the material is removed as someone is drifting in or following a vein will be removed, stacked or piled hopefully systematically. What I mean by that is if there is a million tons of tails one should be able to zero in on the richest sections of the piles. An experienced miner can for the most part identify these sections simply upon visible inspection. I wonder if RAPT is hiring, lol, I'd love to fly around the country kicking tailing piles.
Has it ever occurred to you two that I might be in a wheelchair and the effort to extricate myself from my trading area and wheel to another part of my house to get that book off of a distant bookshelf might be a tad unreasonable?
Hey Whaz, I'm hoping that this might have all been just a misunderstanding. The folks here not knowing your situation may seem a bit presumptive but I think for the most part they are good people.
Personally myself I enjoy the in depth information and input you provide here, its beneficial to all and I'm sure the other guys appreciate it too although outward appearences may not always reflect that. Anonymous postings on the internet, without being face to face conversations can sometimes get misconstrued, mistyped, misunderstood altogether. I'm not saying that is the case here but I would respectfully request that you would keep your valued contributions coming as I know that for the most part they are well appreciated here.
I didnt catch the "diss" from the Eebmiester but if in fact that is the case I'm hoping he might do something to clear it up with you.
I'm here. Just reading all the posts. I'm pleased with the discussion and level of participation going on here lately.
I'd be more pleased if this thing went to $20, lol..........
Actually I think I smell somethin cookin here.
You no what happens when you start to assume stuff????? You loose all your money
You are of course speaking from experience.
yes, RAPT, target price by April 1st is $12.77/share, sell price on June 13th is $9.94, thanks for asking!
You forgot to mention the part about those pps estimates coming in after the 3 for 1 split !!!!!!!!
Woody, Got any thoughts as to what might have caused the drop this AM? I am not a tech analyst and don't know how to read such events in the absence of news.
I'm not real techy myself but I would guess its the last holders of the penny stock bump from the last couple weeks. I believe they see it as stagnated and are just leaving. They simply dont want to take the time to discover reality.
I'm in...........
.35 is just too good.
there are other troubling signs, according to the SEC filings, should be only 63-64,000,000 shares outstanding, most should have been locked up by the revrese merger but then close to 55,000,000 traded Feb 7 through last Friday. certainly possible there could have been some in and out, but that is a lot of shares for what should have been a locked up majority.
?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!? Where did you see 55 million shares traded? I'm looking at my charts and it looks like the biggest trade day was Feb 9th at 15.38 million.
Don't like being accused of who knows what by whoever this guy is. Believe he must have added 2 and 2 together and determined the answer was 23! However, if you as board boss think my posts are out of line, please tell me. But I have no intention of getting in any sort of online argument with JoeC.
I dont mind a little back and forth and quite frankly I'm going to be a bit liberal when it comes to that. That being said its just that I have to stick within the TOS/TOU as outlined by IHUB.
Barring swearing or denegrations I'm ok with it. By the same token if anyone has a complaint about a user please bring it to my attention. Know that I read all posts here and everything of late has been fine with me.
But Ebo, theres really nothing you can do that will change the way that guy acts, he's just gonna be a dork. I'd just ignore him.
does gold react/combine with sulfur and vaporizes at in assays,
Yes
(actually several flavors of ICP with various digesting acids).
Once you introduce sulphur and arsenic into the mix (contained in the complex ore) it queers the whole solution/precipitation process. I'm sure the first thing they tried was aqua regia or something close. The sulphur content converts to (generically) sulphuric acid and throws the whole test out of balance. If they couldnt even detect the sulphur they could never realize to what degree. Not too mention the arsenic and various other supergene variables. The guy to talk to is "Dr Joseph Thomas". He specializes in this stuff. I looked for a link on the web but couldnt find him. I have an old phone number that might still work.
WOODY BABY WHAT ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU THINK EboJR IS A DUCK AND JUST WADDLE INTO THIS SCAM!!!!!!!!
Nope, just saying you are a liar and dont know who he is. Willfully stating that you do know, followed by his invitation to inform everyone here and then your refusal to do so, bears this out.
"Well, you know these be complex ores and when you does a conventional assay, the values vaporize", (that is a puzzlement cause assay are at temps well below vaporization of all of these metals) and "ya need to crack the ore to get the sample correct".
Complex ore bears, in most cases, a sulphur content that reacts with any pgm's when heated. It WILL vaporize most of the values. Most assayers will use a standard "butler" assay. If you dont pull the sulphur content out you get nothing. I got several "nothing" assays until I found someone that knew what they were dealing with. That assay, 6 opt gold and silver.
Actually I was more in agreement with the fact that the audit would be the piece that would stop the fall. However I was of a feeling that for the lack of news it may have made it to .28 but I didnt actually want to call that number.
The statement I "stated a few days earlier" was that it would trend lower on the lack of news, I just wasnt cetain how low.
Its all good.
DON'T WORRY! I AM NOT GOING TO TELL NO ONE YET!!!!
Uh, from what I read he didnt state that he was worried, he said to go ahead and back up your statement. If you dont its pretty much clear to everyone here you cant.
which post has your 0.28 and 0.25 statement, I may have missed it when traveling, I will scan the posts for a few days ago, just in case you are busy and can't get to a response.
I dont remember saying this.
Heywoody.... I know I was down on RAPT, but this PR looks pretty solid..... $1.6mil contract plus a percentage.... she may run...
Its all good. Outward appearences were that it was another pump and dump, and truth be told thats just how it got played.
These guys appear to me to be hard charges and I have had contact with them on the phone. As I stated when I first arrived here this has always appeared to be a buy and hold with a two to three year target.
So I think the real question yet not answered is "why did the original company who had waste material worth $40,000/ton and millions of tons, not reprocess it and get the goodies?". maybe they did not know what they had/ unlikely they had a facility/mine that produced 25,000,000 tons of tailings, most likely they had a lab that knew what was there in detail.
Again, having a background in mining it goes kinda like this......
Take "The Bunker Hill" mine as an example in southern Oregon (previously and searchable as "The Robertson", Original locater "William Robertson" circa 1914). There are a total of six drifts here. One of those being over 3600 feet. Generally, back in the day, a miner or company would find a vein, drift in along that vein then process, for the most part, the richest part of that vein material leaving lots of waste material that they would deem not worth the time to process. In those days this was virtually based on a visual inspection of the ore. Long story short, just because they blew it out of the ground doesnt mean they processed everything they blew out. So now imagine the sheer amount of material they did not process. Fast forward to my hard rock claim. There were several claimants in the decades previous to my stake and they had all walked away. Upon visual inspection it appeared there was nothing in it. I "creatively" processed the material that was laying on the ground that was left behind and was getting 6 opt in gold and silver. Going further and only with waste product laying around sent samples to be treated in a plasma reactor. Result, high platinum content. Long story short, its my belief there could be close to a billion tons of tails laying around in the USA alone that are sitting on currently unclaimed mining sites that miners have simply walked away from because they didnt have the knowledge or technology previously to harvest the full values. All one has to do is stake the claim and all materials on that claim are now under the ownership of the new claimant (free for the taking in the price of the claim costs). Of this I am sure. (Not the billion number, the knowledge factor)
.28 will be new support. If that fails, .25 next. Much more volume on the down days than on the up days. This has a ways to go yet. imo
The audit may be the only thing that will stop this fall.
I'm in agreement with this and stated so several days ago. IMHO the best thing that can happen for "us" is the complete absence of news the first piece of what I want to see would be the quarterly. In a perfect world the best time to hop on this would be one day before that report is made public. Anyone happen to know Clarence Beeks?
My honest fear is that it will be tempting to RAPT to take some of the upside and work on these other portfilio technologies - while I am not opposed to doing that, processing biodiesel will be a 10% margin business and less when really matures. Waste gasification and power generation will be a 10% margin business when it matures. thses tailings deals and orders of magnitude more margin so my plan is to support RAPT to do more Washoe style deals, may some nice dividends to the loyal shareholders and invest significantly in follow-on's to Washoe.
Fear not. Can you say "multiple income streams?" As it pertains to the bio plants as well as all others outside of the mineral recovery what I envision is, as times go by, several "dozen or so man teams" going outside of the area building these plants. As Todd told me there are currently 25 employees. Imagine now 4 or 5 of these plants in process and the relative number of employees. The plant construction will be nuts and bolts consistant income whereas the mineral recovery will be to some degree variable based on pgm content. The mix will/should be consistant growth, at least to some degree for a period of time.
Could they do the separation economically at Groveland, I think yes, trucking cost is horribly high but would run about $250/ton of ore at the current long distance trucking rate of $0.10/ton-mile.
Did you see any rail lines nearby?
Going out on a limb I'd say..........
"The Raptor process uses advanced chromatography and innovative separation technologies that allow for the recovery of more precious and rare earth metals that were previously too expensive to remove from mine tailings. In addition to its low cost of mineral recovery, the process allows for over 95% recycling of the chemicals used in extraction."
I'd say the chromatography is for discovery and content assesment. Then note the part "uses advanced chromatography and innovative separation technologies". Sounds like two different stages of process.
he indicated they were using ion exchange which makes lots lots more sense that chomotography
Once again I think the chromatography is used for content assesment and is not an actual part of the recovery process. They do leave us guessing though. It almost sounds to me like they may be using a plasma reactor. I've had some of my complex ore run through a plasma reactor. Plasma reactor? Ion exchange? To-may-toe? To-moh-toe?
RAPT hard copy investors packet received.
I got my hard copy investors packet today. Its pretty much mostly everything we already know except for one item. It seems they also build/manufacture a small electrical generation *plant* that will produce an output of 300KW. Your average well managed conservative household uses about 6KW. The W2E 300 utilizes waste product bio mass in several forms.
We need good management and we're off to the races here !!!!!!!!
I never said .10, I said .33. You're confusing me with someone else.
My bad, please accept my apology.
Oh, really??
Exactly what I was thinking a couple weeks ago after I told you RAPT would end the week at .52 and you said .10.
Heywoody...I believe RAPT is very concerned about protecting their patented pending mineral recovery process. I don't think we will be seeing anytime soon the Company building on site, other than their own into the immediate future.
Which wouldnt be a bad idea either. They could still do onsight (at the area with tailing product) recovery with RAPT employees which would allow them to monitor all activities, substantially increase employee numbers as well as allow them to keep an eye on their percentage, lol.........
Make sense? And, that said, did any comment you got from the guy to whom you spoke touch on this area at all?
I mentioned SFMI to Todd. The impression I got is that, at this time, there are so many companies interested in their technology and making contact with them they kinda have their hands full.
This is why I'm going to suggest to Todd next time I speak with him that the most lucrative idea would be on sight production plants built by RAPT with licensing fees and royalties. This way RAPT does what they do best (building recovery facilities) then generates multiple "hands off" income streams.
Woody, are you saying a $1000 investment today will produce a 9,142% return in five years? That's what the math says based on your figures.
Yep, thats what I said.
When you get a minute go look at Cisco systems chart starting from their IPO in 1990 up through 2001, include splits in your search. I'm not saying RAPT is a Cisco, certainly not but Cisco split every year for ten years straight. Two splits in five years may be a stretch but OTOH its not all that impossible either. Even if RAPT only split once in five years but went to $16 a share the math is the same and I'll bet ya dollars to donuts it will split at least once in the first five years.
Did you happen to ask him about the recent solicited pump and dump? Were they aware of it?
We talked briefly about the recent *activity*, he chuckled a bit and said that it certainly was a real moral booster for sure. We also talked about how the merger came about, he said that was more of a "right place, right time" type of thing. I'm of a belief that the pumping and dumping was purely of the penny stock alerts. The PR is all good accurate info. There are those that cant/wont interprate it and were simply playing a penny stock game, thats what took it up and down. Due to the lack of solids financials and RAPT's outward appearence it was treated as a pure penny play.
I for one am excited it happened. I made a little money and found what I believe will be a good company in the long run.
Just imagine if you spent $1000 right now and bought 2857 shares. You hold for five years, it see's two splits in that time and goes to $8 (a good NASDAQ secure value), thats $91,424.00
Heywoody...Nice Report..thanks! Was there any discussion of current revenues/earnings? Based on what the Company has released, and perhaps reading between the lines I assume they are in fact profitable at this point in time. Additionally was there any discussion regarding the extracted per ton average revs from the tailings, and/or there daily recovery rate?
He was pretty guarded insofar as discussions of actual earnings as would I be for several reasons. First being without actually having an audit in front of him it would be irresponsible to speculate. Any statements he made in that area *could be held against him* were it to create some fervor. Secondly not knowing exactly who I am he may have been considering I *could be* some regulatory official looking to entrap him for a violation of forward looking statements. I'm satisfied with what I got and his demeanor.
So far as profitability, the devils in the details. Just the same as one would fill out their own personal tax return to reflect little income for minimum taxation the numbers could be a bit skewed. Additionally its not neccesarily a bad thing if they dont show profits when in the midst of a rapid expansion. Personally myself if a company is throwing most/all of its profits into expansion, as long as they can maintain cash flow, bodes well for them in my book. Investing profits/capital into expansion exsudes confidence in subsequest expansion. It also shows that they are willing to expand/go forward as opposed to being happy with what they have and becoming stagnant.
When it comes to revenues per volume on recovery and everything that surrounds that one has to consider all costs involved. Todd stated no clear numbers. Its going to be my suggestion, the next time I talk to Todd, that their (RAPTS) ultimate decision should be to build the recovery facilities in place, on site for their customers then license the technology and make a % royalty deal on those customer recovery numbers. What that does is get RAPT full bore profits for building the plants, they walk away and have a hands off income stream. Less risk and overhead, more profits.
As I stated in one of my very first posts here I believe this is a two to three year deal that will reap huge profits. Not to mention bragging rights to all of those that got in on this at less than half a buck as we then see this pass, $5, $10, $15 or even more.
As for all of those guys here that are saying .10 to.30, lol, well consider the source. They said that last week and the week before. I called .52 or higher, a week in advance no less, by the end of the trading day last friday and it ended at .53. Previous to that the .10-.30 boys called me crazy. Flatulance in the breeze.
Had contact with RAPT today.
I spoke with "Todd", VP of sales and marketing.
1. Bio diesel; He told me that their involvement in that area is pretty much on a contract basis with any prospective customers. They are in the business, and have been for some while, of building the plants starting at basic manual facilities all they way up to fully automated facilities. Meaning that they are building these plants as per customer demand/specs. If a customer wants a cheaper plant they are building the manual facilities, if a customer wants "the full meal deal" RAPT will build them an automated facility with equipment monitoring in the efforts of seeing problems before they happen and effecting repairs as needed. RAPT will not be involved in refining bio and will not be receiving royalties or other compensation based upon production. He stated that this has been (building bio-diesel plants) RAPTS primary business up until the near recent past.
2. Mineral recovery; Will be, at this point, all within RAPT. Todd stated that there have been discussions about building plants and selling/licensing their technology verses keeping it all in house. He stated that they (prospective customers with tailings) have been literally beating down their doors interested in the recovery technology. In talking with Todd and about RAPTS future I feel satisfied that they are moving in the right direction and will make these decisions in the best interest of *growing* RAPT as opposed to simply selling information and calling that good enough. Although he couldnt discuss the actual recovery method I quizzed him as to "in generals" and he told me, as I suspected, the methodology is to put the minerals into solution and recover them out with that method. If this confuses anyone research "aqua regia recovery" in any search engine and you'll get the basic idea of what I just said. Dont be confused however, I dont believe they are using aqua regia, I simply put that here so you could get a basic idea of my statement "putting them into solution". Its more than just putting rocks in "a" solution and getting them wet, it actually dissolves the precious metals making a liquid as clear as lime kool aid then precipitants are added that reforms the pgm's back into solid metal.
3. Algea based fuels; This is a discussion only at this point and their hands are pretty full right now so I dont think there will be much development on this in the near term. If they do get into that its going to be similar to the diesel, plant production only.
4. NASDAQ; Again he stated there have been discussions of this but what I got out of this is that its not a huge concern to them right now for several reasons but I believe when the time comes for RAPT, discussions on entering NASDAQ will be more of a concern. There are several issues on this that arent worth considering right now such as pps and other minimum requirements to enter and it sounds like they are more concerned with growing the company to well beyond those minimums so "riding the edge" wont be a factor of consideration to take away time from their nuts and bolts operations.
5. Growth; He laughed, he's excited. I asked about 1 year, two year growth expectation. He stated RAPT has 25 in house employees at this point. He's expecting that will double within 1 year. He didnt even want to guess at two years but I can see them having at least 100 employees in two years and at that point the ball is definitely rolling very fast. Normally I dont put much stock in PR news such as companys hiring executives to boards but I think in this case I'd pay a little more attention to those. Good decisions from here forward are going to be critical.
6. Quarterlys; He's stated they are currently in audit, this will be completed sometime mid March and be publicly available soon thereafter.
My recommendation; I'd say get your accounts stoked, let the pps drift lower via no news, get ready to buy mid March but I'd try to get in before the quarterly. It may have little or no effect on pps but on the other hand.......Its up to each investor.
They are sending me a hard copy investors packet. I'll let you know when I receive that to fill you in on any news.
