A LOT of people drink and drive every single day. Do you know no one that has gone to dinner and had a glass of wine or two and then gotten behind the wheel? Have you not done that...ever? There are always mitigating circumstances - let's wait to see what this outcome is before we condemn the man for eternity.
John11 - awesome! I sure hope it helps his case...would love to see the share price continue on its upward path and this new work and purchase order come to fruition.
BobEye - where did you get that? Is there a link you can post?
Nice to see us end at $0.12 today - although I'd really like to see another ZERO or two added to that someday soon! Based on information posted by KZMike and others recently who have visited the Drexel facility, I can't help but think that day IS coming...
Not a joke - that is definitely on BORK's website under the topic of Tactical Armor. Hope every parent in America buys one!!
KZMike - thanks SO much for posting this information! Good to know that someone has personally BEEN there, met with the people running the show there, and can come away with generally important information! Awesome that you were able to make the trip and take the time to impart this info! Kudos to you!!
Thank you, John11 - you're right ON with your comments and I agree 100% with your assessment of BORK's current situation. I'm hoping 2013 is when we see a turnaround for BORK - and I feel that with Sean's assistance, we'll get there! Appreciate all your comments...thanks!
KZMike - thanks SO much for posting your comments subsequent to your recent trip to the Drexel facility. All of it GOOD to KNOW! Personally, I really appreciate your sharing of whatever you were allowed to, given that you had to sign an NDA. Merry Christmas to you and your family!! Hoping for a prosperous 2013 and RISING BORK prices! )
Mikeg2 - well put! Thanks for that...
Max...I don't know if you noticed or not, but when one of the guys was home packing his suitcase, I could have sworn he did pack a "vest" in there. Could be Bork's...
MerthyrQ - I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. Only the Board of Directors at BORK truly know what direction this company will take if and when JB is unable to fulfill his current duties as the head of BORK. No doubt provisions have been or will be made to carry on the products and progress in his absence, if it comes to that. JB is NOT the only person connected with BORK that has substantial interest in seeing success - there are many that are very closely connected and have MUCH to gain in making sure BORK succeeds. Anyone NOT a Board Member can only speculate as to any worse case scenarios, i.e. GUESS. What value does "guessing" have? Not much in my opinion.
YAY ATL - don't let all this negativity get to you! Although, glad to see you put this out just to QUASH the MIS-information that gets posted here! Geez...GLTU!!
And YOU know all the FACTS how? Please post your sources to back up your statements.
Fever...if they are revamping their website, let's hope ATL is helping them out so it's a GOOD one! GLTY...
slicknhow - very WELL put! Thank you for taking the time to make those statements. All we can do is wait. I think it's mainly daytraders that are bringing all the negativity to the forefront just because they have to FLIP quickly and move on to make their livings. Not that us Longs aren't antsy due to the lack of communication from BORK management as well, but we're NOT here to cut our noses off to spite outselves. We want the company to thrive and prosper so we can recoup our paper losses and start seeing some profits. Thanks for your thoughts and comments!
Max - personally, I think the doom and gloom only exists on this board and with its posters. Since no one but BORK management and/or its employees REALLY knows what's going on "behind the scenes", there's no telling what good news is brewing or what deals have been made...but it must be something given today's activity! I just hope they share with us soon. Great technology for sure!
Btu...no apologies necessary. It didn't get my pressure up at all; I was just concerned about that sort of statement being made and stirring up the already-boiling pot. There's enough stuff flying around out here as it is without anything to back it up. It just feeds the sharks. I forgot that you owned that many shares, but I remember from your past posts you were/are a supporter. I'm just hoping with the people BORK has on board for sales and such, plus ATL's expertise in marketing along with his web design and vision for the site, that this will all come together soon so we can start ramping up some true production based on real sales/contracts. That's really the only thing that will bring up the PPS. I can't help but think that there's things going on the background that we (the shareholders) just aren't aware of or aren't privvy to, but will benefit us in the near future. Awaiting the next update on BORK's website, at a minimum. GLTU...
Btu - do you KNOW that to be the case? If so, please cite your source...otherwise, you're just throwing more innuendo and speculation out there that is completely irrelevant since the company has certainly never made that intimation that I am aware of.
MerthyrQ - thank you! Finally a sane voice on this thread! Truer words were never spoken... It really IS in everyone's interest that BORK succeed, including its own management. What's so hard to understand about that? Geez...
Dt...your disagreement is duly noted. Thank you.
Dt...and while you tend to focus on the DOWN, I like to look at this as not only a buying opportunity at these low prices, but feel that with the technology Kryron offers to the U.S. and to the world, that it WILL go back up. Glass half full, vs your glass that is half empty.
DT, I guess at this point neither you nor I don't KNOW that companies, police departments, military, etc, aren't "flocking" to buy this. We don't KNOW everything that is going on at Bourque Industries. Just because nothing has been PR'd or released to us shareholders doesn't mean nothing is going on. I choose to wait this out and am waiting for the next updated on Bourque's website. I'm of the "glass is half full" type of person, not the glass is half empty. This is a great product with tremendous potential. JB has surrounded himself with very capable people - all we can do is wait.
Thanks Dt...that's an AWESOME video of the capabilities of BORK's Kryron. Not sure I've seen that one yet - I personally don't really care who's shooting at the plate, but the fact that bullets aren't penetrating is truly amazing! We have a great product in Kryron, no doubt!
Slicknhow...thanks for the information. I figured that's how JB used the funds from selling his shares. He does have a serious vested interest in seeing this company thrive and grow, so it only makes sense that he would put the money in to fund operations. I'm anxiously waiting for the next update/news release and looking for good things to happen, given this amazing product! Thanks...
Slicknhow - WOW...VERY nice post! That took a lot of thought and time to put together, but I certainly couldn't have said it better than that! GOOD job...
Well, you can thank ME for the uptick in price! I put in a Buy order for 17,000 sh at $0.23 - soon after I did, it started going UP! Always the way it goes for me! LOL!!
Now THAT would be a true and accurate post - thanks Pacco!
Pacco - more to the point, you make statements that "THERE ARE NO SALES" - but YOU don't know that to be a fact! Just because there has been no official press release on sales from BORK, doesn't mean there are NO sales. Stop making statements like that unless you can PROVE them. Do you have PROOF or NOT? If you DO, please post your proof now so we can all be as wise as you.
noguts - thanks SO much for your first-hand report of your visit to the BORK facility!! I, too, have WAY too much invested here and like someone else said, at this point, I'd rather lose it all down the road then take the losses I've got on paper today! Your assessment and perception following your visit is MOST encouraging and very much appreciated! I'm feeling a bit more comfortable with my investment now (and particularly given the recent price action/movement). GLTA...
Algee, BORK has not issued an official Press Release on the existence of a manufacturing plan in Mexico so nobody knows as yet. We have to wait for that announcement to happen. It has been discussed that JB was in Mexico and was working to get a facility tied up down there, but until we hear first-hand via an official PR or on Bourque's FB page, it's only a matter of iHub discussions at this point. Hopefully, we'll hear something sooner rather than later.
Good post ATLLivn...thanks!
ROCKQQ - here we go...Bid at $0.38 - hope it doesn't go much lower!
OMG RockQQ!! Thanks SO much for the Friday morning giggles!! Very funny...
NEWS Article from Arizona Daily Star in Tucson about BORK'S certification (retrieved from Bourque's Facebook page link - thanks, guys, for the post!!)...
Tucson-based firm wins key body-armor certification
Arizona Daily Star | Posted: Wednesday, February 15, 2012 1:05 pm
Tucson-based Bourque Industries said it has earned National Institute of Justice certification for its top-level body armor, a key step in marketing the product to military and law-enforcement customers.
The certification of Bourque’s Level III stand-alone Kryron Terminator Armor certifies that the product complies with the NIJ's most recent and rigorous standard for body armor.
Company founder and CEO John Bourque said the company is bringing new large-scale manufacturing processes online to meet expected demand for the newly-certified armor system.
In September, Bourque opened a 20,000-square-foot industrial space on the southeast side that it said could employ some 200 people once the company's armor is certified and production ramps up.
In NIJ testing at Oregon Ballistic Laboratories in October, Bourque's Level III armor plates stopped all six 7.62x51mm NATO rounds within standard deformation standards, the company said.
Bourque also has developed lighter-weight body armor and custom, lightweight vehicle armor products. The products use a patented aluminum alloy designed to withstand multiple shots and limits ricochet and shrapnel.

That's a good point RockQQ - because as we can see, the government really isn't running the country of Mexico anymore. Seems like the drug cartels are. Their government is spineless and weak and I would think that to be of concern for BORK and any employees who would work there. The whole idea is interesting though, at the very least. If nothing else...maybe this can at least get the PPS back up around $2 to $3. Time will tell.
GREAT thoughts mikeg2! That would be VERY nice if somehow they could produce some better video demos that could be integrated into the new website ATL is developing. All we need is MONEY. <<sigh>>
mikeg2 - AGREED! Good post and thanks for keeping to dig for all our sakes. Enough people know people, maybe we'll get something GOOD to chew on soon!
Absolutely! Even if it's just a local gun show...the more eyes on our plates and products, the better! I might try to go to the show here in Phoenix if they decide to attend that one as well - I hope they DO!
I'd be surprised if military will be there, but ya never know - looks like it's just a general public gun show going on...

TC1936 - I tend to agree with everything you've said here. This company has made amazing progress in the short period of time that it merged with GPGI. All of those steps you mentioned, plus finding and leasing a building, having to construct the guts of the building, and get to the point where most of the equipment is installed inside. Obviously, a few glitches with the equipment, but that is now delivered. Don't know if MORE equipment is needed beyond what they now have though - that would be good to know
But what surprises me is all the people questioning WHY no production and sales so far?! Well, it's got to be because ALL the equipment was NOT in place to produce...doesn't it?? I say give these people some time to make sure all the equipment is in place, installed and operating properly. Then we can begin producing something - whether it be plates, powder, or whatever. I, too, am also hoping we hear something on the NIJ Cert by Feb 1st
I'm not concerned about what house JB is buying these days. For ALL we know, he may be buying a million dollar house that is NOW priced at $300k! Real estate market here in Arizona SUCKS! My home's valuation took a BIG hit of over 50%. So just because someone says he's buying a million dollar home - doesn't necessarily mean THAT'S what he's paying for it! Again, supposition and rumors...
Just my TWO CENTS worth...hanging in for the LONG payoff. I just have a hard time believing that I won't make money on this stock in the long run. This technology is too good not to do something GOOD for us longs! Whether it be with this management team, or whatever. GLTA...
