Seven, you should probably post a little newer website in the future.

Dog, How did you miss this one???
This is just a slow-moving train. It seems PU is playing it 'very close to the vest' regarding progress, as he should. My opinion is that it's now all about financing an existing distribution system and if that can happen the company will quickly become profitable.
Holding breath mode...
I wouldn't look for an 'SEC' type filing before a news release. Filings are expensive and would be a waste of money until the company gets some financial stability and sales to report. I believe their plan is a good one, but fresh capital is essential to move forward.
I'm with the dog! And trust me, he has all those degrees. Plus, he did make money on this and many other stock investments and he was generous in helping the company financially from time to time. As I've recently said, the company finds its self with some very interesting prospects, whether they bear fruit or not remains, as always, to be seen. However, IMO, not a good time to jump ship.
I hope everyone that reads the posts of a certain detractor knows of him like I know, that he's so full of s**t he squishes when he walks. In fact, from this point on, you have my permission to address him as "Squish" whenever responding to his posts. It seems like all he cares about is bringing down the company and its management when they're struggling my themselves to keep the dream alive for all. As Mr. Spock would say, "Jim, this is just not logical".
Maybe his is tactic is to try and get management say something in a public forum so he can later accuse them of a pumping scheme, but that is not going too happen. If something positive gets signed we will all know at the same time.
The fact is, and MD will concur, that something could be close and bad-mouthing management with fake news is certainly not going to help push both company's over the finishing line.
Additionally, management, their immediate family and friends have substantial financial stakes in the success of GLEC, as do I and many other people I'm close to within the GLEC stockholders. So I don't believe for a moment any shareholders will be left out. However, having said that, it is not known at this time how much additional funding will be needed and how that potential investment will affect GLEC or GECO ownership, but you can be damn sure that if the investment is made, the value of both companies would be a lot more than what we have now.
I only know the history and not the future. If I had to guess I'd say that it could be to the advantage of the large cash investors to try and transfer some value to the public company from GECO, if possible. However, I also believe it's a waste of time to try and calculate any return until we what happens with the current targeted GECO business plan, which could be months from now.
It's mentioned in an 8K several years back $1.5 million I believe.
Dear DRCZER,
It appears your vitriol for this company and its officers is never going to end until you can extract a pound of flesh from their cold dead bodies, so let me try and answer your “fake news” oriented questions. I’ve met you on one occasion and I’m acutely aware of your early financial participation in the form of a loan to GLEC, which you quickly chose to convert to shares of R144 shares of common.
The following is a direct response to the post you made on Wednesday Nov 29th:
“Fascinating. “Director Joe Battiato”. Does anyone know who Director Joe Battiato is? You boys in Texas who are affiliated with “GLEC” do you confirm GLEC’s Director is Joe Battiato?”
I don’t know why you are asking this question as you know Mr. Battiato extremely well and have for years. You are also aware of the fact that he and other early principles/investors, have invested 100’s of thousands of dollar in pursuit of a business plan that has morphed several times over the past years. Most all the early participants, like Joe, are still shareholders and rooting for the company to have some success in one form or another, all but you that is.
“Apparently it says that in the company description and on the website but I’m not so sure. Also, there is mention of a Michael Corrado on the website as “chief scientific officer”, is this a fact?”
Dr. Corrado is a medical doctor specializing in infectious diseases. He has never been an officer of the corporation, but offered to serve as a ‘Scientific Advisor’ to GECO and this is clearly stated at www.GECO.us. He is also a very savvy businessman who has made some very profitable investments over the years. He liked the concept that was presented to him regarding the ecological effect on the planet that the company’s technology might provide. He made a very large investment secured only by note from GLEC. GLEC then invested the cash in GECO and receive a note from GECO for the amount equal to Dr. Corrado’s investment. This, in effect, added a layer of protection to Dr. Corrado’s investment, which was by far the largest ever made a single individual in the company. If GECO should succeed with its current plan, Dr. Corrado would seemingly have several options regarding the recouping of his investment, as well he should.
“Lastly, if you google “global ecology Corp” it comes up as a non-profit organization in Montclair NJ. Perhaps some honesty and integrity is what is needed from this group. Does the CEO know of these things? Does the CEO distribute ANYTHING at all to the shareholders of this non-profit? Perhaps if truthful information was distributed we can all move forward.”
I couldn’t find the link you mention, but I know for that the company has never been a 501C (non-profit) corporation and you of all people should know this would be an impossible designation to receive, even management was sleeping with Lois Lerner.
“I also have a substantial amount of documents, emails, posts etc. Truth is always a valid defense.
If anybody assumes they know whose posting perhaps meaningful and truthful information should be distributed. Not threats. “
I too have documents, emails, posts, etc. In fact, probably every one you have, but there’s one I find particularly enlightening and I’m fairly certain you are aware of it as well. It has to do with a certain individual that visited Casselberry a while back. When there, this individual attempted to plot with GECO employees and the Canadian manufacturer of the company’s water treatment product to privately takeover the regional distribution of the product. The attempt failed, as it should have and I believe this individual carries some very bitter feelings about the event years after it occurred.
“The people who are the Director and CEO had no problem taking my $750000.00 and some other influential persons monies with representations that the facility in Alabama was part of GLEC.”
Your number is high, but you did make a large investment and after what I believe was a substantial amount of due diligence, but prior to the creation of GECO. I admit I don’t know the actual amount your due diligence, but as an ‘accredited investor’ I assume it would have been substantial. Additionally, as previously stated, 100% of the early investment in Castleberry came from one person. The plan at the time was that his investment would be recovered by the success of the Castleberry operation and any additional growth achieved in Alabama. GLEC would then receive shares from GECO equal in value to what was used to fund the startup. As long as there are no results from Castleberry, it is impossible to calculate what the GLEC will receive, but certainly Dr. Corrado must be made whole first.
“Now it’s GECO???? Perhaps I don’t understand.............maybe some candid information may be worthy.”
My study of GLEC’s financial situation at the time when GECO was created, concluded that there were probably several strategic reasons for creating fresh, clean, startup company with limited ties to GLEC. They are numerous and obvious, but I won’t go over them in this forum.
I know a little about the current plan that management is trying to execute and my opinion is that I believe it is the most promising thing the company has ever been involved with, however, there’s a “but”.
Here’s the current status, the Company spent a lot of time and money positioning itself to cash in on the burgeoning Carbon Credit market, only to get to the finish line and have the politicians eat it alive. The credits are still valid, but President Trump and other significant control people don’t like it, which effectively ended the demand for CC’s produced in the USA. California has stayed heavily in the game, but will only buy CC’s made from food waste and at this time it would be too expensive to convert the process to accommodate food only.
However, Peter has continued to field ideas from various sources that might make the company profitable. To this end he was approached by a company that has a massive distribution system capable of selling 5 lbs. bags of our Organic USDA Certified compost to their vast, existing retail network. The market testing has shown that the bags and product cost less than $.50 to produce and will wholesale for $3.00 with a retail price $5.95, with the potential demand being off the charts. It should be noted that no other company the capacity GECO has for this highly desirable type of soil amendment. If you do the math, one ton of compost yields 400 bags at a profit of $2.50 per bag, less distribution cost of approximately 10 %. That’s big money if can just this one time get to the finish.
I believe Pete is working tirelessly to make this happen, with bags having been designed and attempting to raise the necessary capital for the product roll out. Personally, I don’t know how he does it as I would quit a long time ago. There’s been a few of us that have contributed time and money along the way, but most of us tapped out and/or burned out. Joe is trying to raise the necessary as well, but as it goes with all difficult and lengthy projects, is it a light and the end of the tunnel or a freight train, not a lot of people are interested in finding out the outcome at this point. Myself and a few other rooting for the company to succeed, but as a good friend of mine, who was an entertainer said “Hey, throw money, I can’t spend applause”.
No, but Pete was happy.
Still here, just watching and waiting.
Still here and just used to the slow moving train, but it seems to be moving forward. MD does an excellent job, so not much need for me to comment. My general feeling is something could happen before this summer.
I think the closer things get to reality the more quiet those leading the charge become...which is of course the appropriate behavior.
There's a lot going on, but nothing moves fast in the carbon credit or soil world. You've read my past posts where I said the future of the compost industry is going to revolve around the recycling of food waste. I am very encouraged about the company's progress with this effort, which has taken a lot time and effort. Keep the faith continued patience.
I'm guessing your next post will be something really clever, like... ROFLMAO...right?
So why don't you tell us what you know. I think we all need a good laugh.
Yep, but nothing I can mentioned here...
No tension at all with this group, in fact one could say I played a fairly significant role in forming their plan. However, I have a lot tension with a poster spewing BS results and suggesting that someone who's worked their ass off and made great financial sacrifices for the past 5+ plus years be replaced by a group who to date have sold a small amount of compost. Having said that, the 'group' does possess certain unique synergies that could be deployed to create very beneficial marketing advantages in the region and I fully expect them to succeed.
As to your comment on CC's, the company's been dedicated to this concept for a few years and like every other business model on the planet, the gold posts have moved several times and cost way more in time and capital to complete than what the 'experts' first projected. My opinion now is food waste is by far the most profitable commodity to remediate we are very close to having everything needed to proceed with this product. However, having that knowledge back when the company started registering with CC exchanges would not have mattered because we only had chicken waste to process and the Gold Standard is the best for selling manure-based offsets. The current problem with the Gold Standard is that they've implemented a few new rules over the years that raised the 'upfront' cost of their certificates, but that issue should be resolved in the near future.
In conclusion, two shareholders with very large holdings decided to roll up their sleeves and are trying to make an effort to improve the company's eventual outcome in the field. I would imagine if all shareholders in some small way would do the same we would succeed sooner than later. BTW, buying shares on the open market at these prices, does not count as 'helping'.
I'd like to know your definition of 'amazing' because it's quite a different from mine. I'm sure we all appreciate anyone who's willing to put forth an actual effort to improve the company's position and not just pump the stock like you're attempting. However, the 'group', which is two guys at the moment and one of whom has not actually started yet, is not setting anyone's world on fire...well yours maybe. The problem was and still is that the company needs 'sales boots on the ground' in Alabama 24/7 and that still is the plan, but it hasn't happened yet.
The company wanted, and still wants, local disabled vets with agriculture experience and connections to be representing its products in the southern Alabama region. These 'boots' cost money that the company cannot afford at the moment...soon maybe, but the waiting continues. The company asked the 'group' to try an establish a separate distribution company using one of the group's disabled vets' relationships as a way to 'quick-start' the concept and staff the distributorship. The company believes that this particular partner in the group has the connections, intelligence, energy and moxy to eventually impact the sales of the company's products.
As for what other 'things on the table' they might move forward, here's one, go raise several hundred thousand dollars to get the company food waste business model on firm ground. Pete's the Lone Ranger for this cap raising segment and I'm sure he'd appreciate the help, seeing how it's a little more difficult and time consuming than selling a few tons of compost. Of course I already know they're not going to contribute to the capital raising effort, but if they just get additional sales to happen, they have could have a big positive impact on the company.
As for seeing the potential allowing this group to do more...potential is just a 9 letter word, kind of like you are just a 'poster with an opinion'. Actual 'results', a 7 letter word, is all that really matters and they haven't spelled that one yet in a meaningful way.
Just my not-so-humble opinion.
No...someone else besides you needs to ask the question...or the answer is so elementary no one is bothering to answer...or both.
Can you identify someone on this board that has some useful expertise and should be listened to? Of course you can't. Give me an example of something you know that could be useful to him. Name one single thing and we'll all be the judge.
Letters in quotes and parenthesis do not always refer to trading symbols. If you knew anything about business, you would recognize what is commonly used in all documents as an “identifier”. As an example; Majobuki (‘Majo”). Get a life or an education, both would be preferable.
Are you talking about the part that says GECO is a 'publicly owned' company instead of GECO is "owned" by a publicly owned company? GECO IS owned by a publicly-traded company, which make it subject to the various rules and regulations of said business structures. When you drill down into characterizing GECO as a publicly-owned company, the description is technically correct. So it appears that you are pointing out a semantical issue about which no one but you gives a s**t. Now, the company could, at a considerable expense, re-file that entire document, but it wouldn't matter to anyone, except maybe you. Additionally,The Gold Standard wouldn't care if Al Qaeda owned the company as long as it produced audited carbon offsets.
Of course I do, but so does Grumps and so does Maddog. You're the only clueless one and at least Cleaning Up makes an effort to understand what's going on without being obnoxious.
You're both wrong and I will not elaborate.
Yes, but company has a history of 'irons in the fire'. However, looking at new relationships already publicly divulged, IMPO I'd say CEO's hard work has a good chance with this model.
Let's say I spend most of my days helping some public company in one form or another as a consultant. Would you expect me to divulge significant items or events in this chatroom format that had not yet been publicly released? Of course you wouldn't. I only jump on to clarify statement that are already out there in one or more public statements. To me, Majo is only here for entertainment purposes while we to see if the BP comes together as some of us believe it will.
Hey...I beat Majo to a new link, how do you suppose that happened...
When you were in prison didn't you notice that all your cellmates cleaned their plates? That would tend to indicate that the that most of the waste would be left over from the preparation stage of the meal preparation, which would logically make it 'clean'.
Does anyone know the make up of the food waste GECO will be getting from the AL DOC?"
Yes
Instead of producing a lot stale links why don't you do some research on how carbon credits are transferred from producers to end-users. I could tell you, but it would take some time and in the end would be a waste of keystrokes.
The original filing with CAR was done on Nov. 14, 2013 and at that time the company was only processing chicken waste and other green waste. The recent document states that food waste is used for obtaining CC's from CAR and that document prevails over all preceding documents. This 'big find' is just another Majo Mole Hill.
