Just busted through $4.50!
Ni
I don't know how "safe" it is in here, but we do scoop frequently. LOL
Big wall at $4.50 but at least we're there chipping away at it!
We might be able to put some of these arguments to rest if the next person to visit the Copper King mining facility would simply take a few pictures of the restrooms.
Just a thought.
=^..^=
I don't think Ally was implying she trusted the TA website no matter what it looked like, she was just saying she didn't CARE what the website looked like as long as they gave prompt and accurate information. The CPRK website is a separate subject and from what I recall she's been saying a new CPRK website is due any day now. You keep twisting things to make it seem as if she's defending the current CPRK website no matter what it looks like and that's not what she's saying, imo.
Hmmmm.... I wonder what they do with all the protozoa they filter out of the water? Maybe we can buy it up cheap and market it as a snack food!
=^..^=
Water doesn't have any calories to begin with. LOL
It sure would be nice to close at or near the HOD.
How much info do they need on their website?

This may be a good play AFTER the reverse split...
This stock only has 1 share left before they max out the A/S? LOL

I can only surmise that a person who suggests handing out decorated cookies to homeless street people, while at the same time using "When in doubt, empty the clip" as the signature to their post, is a complex individual. LOL
Have no fear, should I decide to venture into the rougher neighborhoods I won't be armed with just a sack of cookies.
Well, duh! Of course we celebrate with a party! But my problem was I had forgotten it's just a combined birthday bash for Washington and Lincoln---somehow I got to thinking we were celebrating ALL the Presidents. And that confused me as to the exact theme of the party.
Not to worry though, I got straightened out by the people at the Party Store when I started raising a fuss over their lack of Millard Fillmore jello molds.
By the way, I think people that work at a place called the Party Store should have a more festive attitude and not throw paying customers out the door over minor misunderstandings.
How are we supposed to celebrate Presidents' Day?
This stock can be frustrating...
But then the DOW is down big and we're even for the day so maybe that's a good thing.
From today's SPAR PR:
Other product sales, including specialty vehicle chassis for MRAP military vehicles, and Spartan Chassis' growing service, parts and accessories business, increased 233.9 percent year-over-year in the fourth quarter of 2007. Backlog for other products more than tripled over the same period of 2006 to $199.4 million as of Dec. 31, 2007. Spartan expects to report additional orders in the near future from its military customers.
Happy Valentine's Day to you, too!
You know, instead of a board where we talk about stocks I'm thinking of offering a message service.
Well, at least we closed green.
Well, can you share those facts with the rest of us?
I don't mind learning new information but just watching two people bicker gets boring after awhile.
And if you're not going to support your public accusations with facts then they come across as nothing more than personal attacks. That stuff belongs in private message exchanges, if at all.
With all those shares you got out of the deal, may need one of these guys [picture of dump truck]: loaded up to dump!
How many shares did he get out of the deal? And why are you accusing him of dumping? Do you have any facts to back this up?
I've been playing FRPT a bit lately. They build Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles for the military. It's down at $4 from a high of $31 back in June; thought it might bounce at this level but it's looking more and more like litter box material.
Happened to notice that sailbad is alive and well and still posting on that other venue. Good for him!
I guess it's true about only the good dying young....bashers live on forever!
EVSF up 11% on huge volume of 516 shares!
Looks like institutions are loading up! Must be news on the way!
BACK UP THE TRUCK!!!! PAWN THE WIFE'S JEWELRY!!!! BUY NOW OR CRY LATER!!!
On the other hand, a MM may just have knocked a coffee over on his keyboard and accidently bought some EVSF while trying to blot up the spill.
Hard to tell at this point.
=^..^=
Wow! I guess someone thumped it!
We seem to be stuck at $4. Maybe it needs a good thump on the side to get it going again.
(That always seemed to work with an old TV I once had.)
Well, a VNR (video news release) is basically just a PR in video form. One can safely assume the goal would be to promote the company. There's two reasons I can think of for promoting the company:
1) Increase sales of copper.
2) Increase sales of CPRK stock.
I think we can rule out #1 since there's already an agreement with another company to sell them all of CPRK's copper.
Now, there's 2 reasons I can think of to increase sales of CPRK stock:
1) Raise cash to fund company expenses as they mine copper from their rich and extensive claims.
2) Raise cash for company insiders to spend on expensive homes, vacations, booze, loose women, etc.
#1 is the answer of choice for pumpers and optimists, #2 is for bashers and pessimists.
But since I don't own any CPRK at this point in time I'm not going to pick an answer, I'm just going make another gin & tonic and go watch TV.

Welcome, elcheapo41!
Allison is the senior assistant mod here and she voted to make you an assistant (which resulted in a tie vote). However, after much discussion we decided to let you be one on a probationary basis.
By the way, assistant mods on this board are affectionately known as "Scoopers". LOL
Couple of big buys just went through at $4. $192K worth.
It's just a reprint of the Wall Street Journal article and they give credit to the WSJ at the top of the article.

Granted it's not a 100% certainty, but I assume it's Wilf's Alexander Lindale LLC. using a third party. They stated as much in the PR announcing their contract with Copper King.
SALT LAKE CITY, Dec 26, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Alexander Lindale L.L.C. is pleased to announce that a contract has been signed between Alexander Lindale L.L.C. and Copper King Mining Corporation. (Pink Sheets: CPRK) to provide services in the areas of information dissemination and financial assistance. Alexander Lindale L.L.C. will provide services for one year and will charge $150,000 to be paid in either stock or cash. Alexander Lindale L.L.C. retains the right to hire third-party contractors and consultants to assist in the performance of its duties. These contractors may also be paid in cash or stock of the company.

Ahhh! There's nothing nicer than a clean, fresh litter box.

Very low volume today, so far. eom
I think he got a slap on the hand (and one on the shoulder) for his earlier offenses (Regent?), but being a convicted felon at the time of the RMEC scam left him open for stiffer penalties. I found a report (link at bottom of this page) dated Oct 17, 2007 that summarizes the actions against him: 1) The shutting down of RMEC in Apr 2003 and, 2) the fraud indictment against him in July 2007. According to this, the "SEC charges apparently remain pending". If it took the SEC 4 years just to finally indict him for fraud I doubt the trial would occur within 7 months. I figure sometime around March 2013 would be about right.

Did JE's case come to trial yet? I'm trying to figure out where he is now. He was facing as much as 20 years in prison and a 5 million dollar fine!
FORMER CEO INDICTED FOR SECURITIES FRAUD
(HOUSTON) July 13, 2007 – The former CEO of Rocky Mountain Energy Corporation has been indicted for securities fraud for engaging in a stock manipulation scheme involving shares of his company stock, United States Attorney Don DeGabrielle announced today.
John N. Ehrman, 52, of The Woodlands, Texas, is charged in a 13-count indictment with securities fraud and false Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings. The indictment returned under seal on July 12, 2007, was unsealed today following Ehrman’s arrest this morning by special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Ehrman is expected to make an initial appearance this afternoon at 2:00 p.m. before U. S. Magistrate Judge Stephen William Smith.
Ehrman is accused in the first 10 counts of the indictment with securities fraud for devising a scheme to inflate the price and trading volume of Rocky Mountain stock and to profit by selling and directing others to sell and transfer shares issued under an obscure exemption to the registration provisions of the federal securities laws. According to the indictment, Ehrman signed separate agreements on behalf of Rocky Mountain to acquire small privately held oil and gas companies, or portions of the companies, in exchange for Rocky Mountain stock. Rocky Mountain, under Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Securities Act, then petitioned the District Court of Utah, to rule that the proposed acquisitions were fair to the shareholders or owners of the companies to be acquired, and to rule that Rocky Mountain’s plan to issue shares to exchange for ownership of the companies did not constitute a public securities offering by Rocky Mountain. The indictment alleges that the petition and sworn declarations filed with the Utah court falsely stated that a number of individuals were shareholders or owners of the companies to be acquired, when in fact the individuals were not.
Based on the petitions and at the conclusion of hearings on four separate acquisitions, the Utah court issued orders finding that Rocky Mountain’s plans to issue and exchange shares was fair to shareholders and owners of the acquired companies and did not constitute a public securities offering by Rocky Mountain.
Using the hearings in Utah, the indictment alleges that Ehrman caused Rocky Mountain to issue more than 46 million shares that did not bear a restrictive legend. Ehrman exerted control over these purported “free-trading” shares, according to the indictment, which represented around one-half of Rocky Mountain’s issued and outstanding stock, selling the shares and directing others to sell and transfer them. Ehrman allegedly received about $500,000 in proceeds from sales of Rocky Mountain shares during the scheme, which took place between June 1, 2002 and April 3, 2003.
At the same time Ehrman gained control of the shares, the indictment alleges that Ehrman caused Rocky Mountain to make a series of false and misleading statements to the investing public to artificially inflate the price and trading volume of the company stock. Rocky Mountain press releases touted the acquisitions, representing that acquisitions were completed and that financing was in place for acquisitions, when, according to the indictment, acquisitions were not completed and financing was not in place. Ehrman also allegedly caused Rocky Mountain to omit to disclose to the public that the corporation issued tens of millions of shares of stock, which diluted the value of shares held by investors. Investors allegedly lost approximately $1.1 million during the scheme. Rocky Mountain’s stock had been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Ehrman is accused in Counts 11 - 13 of making false and misleading statements in reports and documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
If convicted of the first count of the indictment, Ehrman faces a maximum of 10 years imprisonment and a $1 million fine. Counts 2 - 13 carry a maximum penalty of 20 years imprisonment and a $5 million fine, upon conviction.
The investigation leading to the charges was conducted by the Houston office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission Regional Office in Ft. Worth, Texas. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Corso.
An indictment is a formal accusation of criminal conduct, not evidence. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until convicted through due process of law.
