Fish, could you give your perspective to the upside on URRE and AVR? Thank you in advance.
I see my open order for 5k of cytr got filled at the low of the day at .255. OK, time is up...time for those two (cycc) to fly.
Good luck everyone that has patiently accumulated and held. Now, if our professors would just tell us the exit price.
Glenda
As hindsight, how many of you think that the insider buy of Joe Christopher was a ploy to reel in some more money? I bought into that insider buy to the tune of 5k. How about you? One of the talking heads on CNBC mentioned natural gas going to 3...oh great.
Here's to you CB and Johnny and that reserve of ?000000000000s of resources that were just waiting to be brought up.
I have 1500 left for Roth...is KERX still a good one for an open order tommorrow with a GTC order at .28? Or was the play just for today? GKK? PAL? SRZ?
Thanks for a direction.
Chart and Sheff, would you please be looking at the stem cell stocks astm and stem and others for TA before the inauguration?
I think they will get a pop. Look what they did the last time they were mentioned under Obama moves.
Glenda
Funds cleared for Roth...bought 7k CYCC at .485 and 2k URRE at.77.
Thanks, Chart, for all you do.
Glenda
6k available tomorrow in roth. Should I average down in AVR and GKK? Only have 1k of those. Is it too late for cycc? Have 5 of cytr, also.
Could someone look at the TA of ASTM or CELL? With Obama these could see an uptick?
Thanks, order in and waiting for a dip to catch me.
Chart, with NT funds, which would be the better, quicker, or more stable Monday buy: cycc, pdgi, or XRM? Thank you for all you do!
Oh, wait, what about gtcb for Monday? Sheff?
Where, oh where is the bang for NT and CYTR?
OOooh, we have plenty of time....You looking for .02 shares for the gamble? Nothing says 2008 has to be the loss year.
As we approach yet another Christmas, may the hope that is left in our hearts see us into 2009.
Happy holidays to each of you and yours.
And....Merry Christmas, Arch, wherever you are.
Glenda
I can't help but laughing (as opposed to crying) as I question myself...
Wonder if CB keeps the same policemen handy now? You know, the ones present at the shareholder's meeting to take the vote on the
RS?
Welcome
I wish somehow DNAWitness could be used, just a stone's throw away, in the big Caylee Anthony missing case in Orlando.
Almost 10 years now..good luck everyone.
Glenda
I laughed till I cried on that post. Only time I've laughed in the last two months.
News about naked short selling !!! 17-Oct-08 06:32 pm
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
17 CFR PART 242
[Release No. 34-58773; File No. S7-30-08]
RIN 3235-AK22
Amendments to Regulation SHO
AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.
ACTION: Interim final temporary rule; request for comments.
SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) is adopting an interim final temporary rule under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) to address abusive “naked” short selling in all equity securities by requiring that participants of a clearing agency registered with the Commission deliver securities by settlement date, or if the participants have not delivered shares by settlement date, immediately purchase or borrow securities to close out the fail to deliver position by no later than the beginning of regular trading hours on the settlement day following the day the participant incurred the fail to deliver position. Failure to comply with the close-out requirement of the temporary rule is a violation of the temporary rule. In addition, a participant that does not comply with this close-out requirement, and any broker-dealer from which it receives trades for clearance and settlement, will not be able to short sell the security either for itself or for the account of another, unless it has previously arranged to borrow or borrowed the security, until the fail to deliver position is closed out.
DATES: Effective Date: October 17, 2008 except §242.204T is effective October 17, 2008 until July 31, 2009.
e Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday outlined sweeping restrictions on "naked" short-selling in an effort to prevent pessimistic investors from driving down stock prices too far, too fast.
The new rules force short-sellers and their broker-dealers to deliver their borrowed securities within three days of the transaction date. Market makers are no longer immune from the naked short rules.
Another new regulation also makes short sellers liable for fraud to lie about their intention or ability to deliver securities in time for settlement.
"These several actions today make it crystal clear that the SEC has zero tolerance for abusive naked short selling," SEC Chairman Christopher Cox said in a statement. Regulators "will now have these weapons in their arsenal in their continuing battle to stop unlawful manipulation," he added.
In an ordinary short sale, an investor borrows a stock for a fee, and sells it betting that the price will go down. He then buys back the stock at a later time to return it to the owner. In "naked" short sales, the investor must locate shares to borrow, but does not actually borrow or deliver them.
The SEC had put in place temporary restrictions on naked short selling of certain financial stocks over the summer as several firms were suffering from precipitous declines in market value. When those temporary rules expired in August, the stocks continued falling hard and fast, culminating in federal takeovers of Fannie Mae (FNM Quote - Cramer on FNM - Stock Picks), Freddie Mac (FRE Quote - Cramer on FRE - Stock Picks) and American International Group (AIG Quote - Cramer on AIG - Stock Picks) and a bankruptcy filing by Lehman Brothers (LEH Quote - Cramer on LEH - Stock Picks).
The new rules will apply to all securities and are effective as of 12:01 a.m. on Thursday.

Just one question...Has CB been visiting with Boone Pickens?
Is it "soon" or "sooooooon"? A month or 6 months?
Just so everyone's calendar stays in sync.....
Welp, it looks like to me the behind the scenes actions have been going on to then propel this company to new heights with contracts we are not privy to yet.
Placing the right persons to get us there is what this PR was about. Now, we all know the only thing that will get the pps to move in the right direction is a material event.
Surely that is coming after this length of time and things that have been alluded to months ago.
Good luck everyone!
Anyone know anything about a shareholder's meeting?
TIA,
Glenda
Contractor, Contractor, Contractor, I know you can answer that.
How many weeks of "cheapie" shares and buying opportunities are we going to be blessed with?
There are several of us that have known that for awhile.
Question is, which company has a stranglehold on our money?
I think the move to the pinks was specifically to hold back info from this company until they are ready to release for the general public.
Good luck to you.
I've had my seat belt buckled for lift-off. Just wanting to know if I should unbuckle and go to the restroom.
Just wondering if anyone could share just what part of the runway we are on now? I thought liftoff was a couple of weeks ago.
I'm amazed at why you would even care. Afraid someone might make some money?
Would someone post the telephone number of Freestone, please?
Welp, maybe they're getting their ducks in a row to announce
a profitable fourth quarter in 2007 and a green first quarter in 2008? Maybe a bunch of new wells were just signed to lease, even though not 100% working interest? Maybe they have just been given 800 or so barrels of Petrozene, but they still have back orders? Who knows? Maybe they are about to file to otcbb?
Good luck everyone, even though it is taking longer than we had hoped.
Contractor, if the SEC is involved, I'm used to it via aenp, arent't you? What's new?
Oh where , oh, where could those audits be?
Good luck everyone on maybe green!
Now, if any of you know the work of this poster and follow him, the frustration he is posting is a telling sign...wonder if he could direct us on AENP if he follows through on this stock?
OT: or is it?

I wonder how tough it would be get a good attorney to look at a class action lawsuit for total lack of fiduciary responsibility?
By not doing his job he can missappropriate significant value from shareholders. Talk about a conflict of interest. Now all he has to do is call the note he structured to take over all the value from shareholders.
I think this would be a great class action case since he has considerable wealth and there is growing value in DVPC every day.
Whichever, errhh, Contractor, whatever happened to the vast reserve that Johnny Bitters conveyed we were sitting on that would be brought up starting in Jan, 08? Just where are we on that front? Where was the buy of a million shares from CB that he discussed with you on the cell phone as I listened in the truck with him? Where is the Challenger now sitting?
Come on....you hang on his fast contacts on one of those 3 cell phones..so I know you are in constant touch with him.
Dumb blonde...and feeling dumber with each passing month.
Obviously this paragraph from a July, 2007, PR is null and void. According to that, and knowing full well you all know who it was, who flew the coop? Go ahead....no disclosure here now.
"Freestone has been in negotiations with a multi-million dollar company in merger talks. This merger if complete will make Freestone Resources Inc. a large player in the oil and gas industry. Again we will keep you informed as this evolves. "
Also, is Medina county still a bone of contention with no progress being made?
MANY INEDIBLE PLANTS PRODUCE MORE OIL THAN FOOD GRAINS. There are many sources of biofuel that do not impact food supplies. I am ready to use petroleum financed biofuel to show the world what the future is now.
I wish someone would explain what a poisonous plant has to do with Freestone. Explanation?
What are we waiting on?
(1) financials?
(2) financing?
(3) deal on Medina county?
Things brewing that haven't been hinted about?
Oh, when, oh when? Not going to sell, just want to see the fun.
Ahhh, that will change instantly on news...MMs will hop in the middle. Have to have something newsworthy, first, to get it moving. We've gone from waiting on financials to a poker game to nothing? Come onnnnnn....what hold up are we on now?
Good luck all FSNR longs. Hopefully contracts of all kinds are being inked.
How much longer?
I'm just seasick as I head back into Houston. Just tell us who the players were in the game since it didn't end too well?
And is there a new game about to ante up?
When? Is it time? How much longer?
Glenda
Good luck, everyone!
