LET'S SPILL THE BEANS.
Can we still say that we don't know who is Sib Almaz ?
Buying GBDX licence was the best choice for "Krystall", in order to avoid competition in NY from GBDX who would have bring russian diamonds polished in India at lower cost......
After the new russian regulation on rough diamonds, it was unclear from where GBDX will have bring is polished diamonds.
At the begining (Nov 2006) GBDx was a partener to sell more diamonds, but after the new law It was more an danger then anything else.......
GOT MY POINT ?
Let's read again Nov 2006 PR from GBDX
Global Diamond Exchange (PINKSHEETS: GBDX) is pleased to announce the details of a joint venture partner. The partner, who will increase Global's allotment of rough, cut and polished diamonds, is "Diamond Certificate" -- a Russian joint stock company.
Diamond Certificate consists of and is owned by several groups including -- Smolensk Brilliants Association -- A union of 8 diamond cutting facilities in Smolensk; The Smolensk Government Facility "Krystal"

FRESH NEWS FROM KRYSTALL
The sales of Russia’s largest diamond cutter Kristall increased 13 percent on the year to $404 million in 2007, the company said in a press release Monday.
In 2006, Kristall's sales amounted to $358.2 million, up 3.2 percent on the year, the company said.
Founded in 1963 and based in the city of Smolensk, Kristall has eight subsidiaries in the Smolensk Region and trade offices in New York, Los Angeles, Tel Aviv, Antwerp(Belgium) and Hong Kong. Kristall is state-owned.
Who is GBDX ?
Global Diamond Exchange, Inc. exports rough and cut diamonds from the Russian Federation and other diamond producing regions. The company was formerly known as Mirador Corporation and changed its name to VWAY International in 2004, to World Wide Cannery and Distribution Inc. in 2006. The company further changed its name to Global Diamond Exchange, Inc. in September 2006. The company is based in New York City. As of September 17, 2007, Global Diamond Exchange, Inc. is a subsidiary of Sib Almaz.
That will be a good reason....
Interesting view.
Good to be free :)
I have increase my core holding by 1M shares during the last days.
GBDX ?
Your view on this ? A/D is breaking the roof.....

Can you summarize the article ?
I can't open the link here...
This is not a regular pink Strongus.
It's a NYSE company who was having problem with 30% of his activities.
I will not be suprise to see this going to 2$ short term, before cruising up to 10$ before year end.
I hope you will be rewarded by NWOL, you deserve it.
IMHO
Last call before 0.20$/Share.
Bid need to get stronger.....
It will come, hopefully.
SCRA seems to be ready to go out of Chap 11 (22 of January)
What the chart is telling you my friend ?
Nice board.
I don't want to put sombody in trouble over there.
I think that I push him a little a bit and he talked too mutch to me.
My target is 2$ short term and 4$ year end, before going above 11$ when all is cleared.
I'm a bit angry because I'm waiting for 15K$ to buy more SCRA, will need to pay more now :(
Was warning the board the 4 of January.
I was insulted for that......

MM are loading the boat on the ask, they already know what's coming for the 22 of January.
See you around 70 cents.....
IMHO
GBDX, Again yesterday the pps was hit, high volume but A/D pushing up.
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=GBDX&p=D&yr=0&mn=4&dy=15&id=p79602385190
Was watching L2 very closely and I saw big buy order (7.9M for exemple) on the ask.
Clearly, sombody is scouping cheap shares, but he is not supporting the price, he is just buying shares who're available from dumpers.
The good point is that we keep the volume under control even with the pps touching triple zero zone.
If the O/S was 1.8B this kind of event would have produce a massive dump.(+ 150M shares)
Personnaly, I've sold 2.5M at 0.0010$ (to test the bid) and I bought back 1.2M at 0.0009$.
It's a tricky situation because they don't support the pps, they just take advantage of the dumpers, so who know until when they can play this games ?
Days ? Weeks ? Years ?

Ascent Solar Presentation 10-2007.PPT
http://files.meetup.com/315249/Ascent_Solar_Investor_Presentation.pdf
I like what I see here....
200M in cash, Hitachi behind the scene, Cisco N°1 Customer....
0.70 EPS for 2008 X 25% Growth = 17$ pps
Actual price = 7.5$
GBDX, THE BIGGEST MYSTERY OF MY LIFE !
I'm really lost here folks, I need your help.
Bashers claim that GBDX is a printing machine.
Let's look at the facts.
1-Since February, the A/D is shooting up up up, why ?
2-Can you find any stock with this kind of A/D with PPS going down ?
3-People claim that GBDX have dumped 300M shares from mid October to mid December, Why the volume is going down big time ? (Average monthly trading volume was 333M in November, 222M in december)
4-Is it possible that a company sell shares and at the same time another buy them ? (That would explain the A/D and the pps going down). If yes, why ? For which benefit ?
Thank you for your help.

Ascent Solar Achieves Major Milestone on Its 1.5MW Manufacturing Line
Monday December 17, 6:00 am ET
Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTI), a developer of state-of-the-art, thin-film photovoltaic modules, announced today the successful and on-time delivery and installation of all equipment required to complete the integration of its 1.5MW production facility. Testing, integration and qualification of the new manufacturing line is set to begin in January 2008. Product qualification and certifications are planned to commence once the line completes integration and achieves initial operating capacities.
Matthew Foster, President and CEO, commented, “We are very pleased to have these complex tools delivered and installed right on schedule. This significant event completes Ascent Solar’s first major milestone and our entire team is excited to now enter the next stage of our commercial development.”
Mr. Foster further stated that “we have also been very fortunate this year in receiving additional capital through a strategic investment from Hydro and conversion of our Class A public warrants. With this additional capital, the company was able to start the development of its high-volume 100MW plant ahead of schedule. We plan to place orders for machine procurement to build our first 25MW line some time in the second quarter of 2008 and we currently envision the 25MW facility completion by year-end 2009.”
Good day, seems I was not alone calling the company today.
If everything happen as I think, 2$ pps before the end of the 1Q 2008 is a realistic target.
This is not a pink, it's a big company facing some trouble with 30% of is activities.
22 of January this is going to suprise a lot of people......
Called the company, will release important news before end of the month.
Will be out of Chap 11 before March.
Will buy more....
As you know I like the A/D here.
Very very interesting.

CIGS
CIGS is a compound of copper, indium, gallium and selenium (Cu(In,Ga)Se2). When combined in the proper ratios, these materials form a semiconductor that can be applied as a thin film to create photovoltaic cells on many carrier substrates. The CIGS ("absorber") layer absorbs photons, the first step in the transformation of solar energy to electricity.
Advantages over Crystalline Silicon
CIGS solar cells offer several advantages over crystalline silicon solar cells. In particular, CIGS cells are:
# Less expensive per Watt
# More efficient in low-angle and low-light conditions
# Extremely lightweight
# Flexible enough to conform to small-radius curves
# Stable and reliable (even self-healing) in real-world conditions
These advantages are further enhanced when incorporated with flexible encapsulants into flexible photovoltaic modules that Miasolé now manufactures in high volume.
Under the Hood
CIGS is a direct band-gap semiconductor (in contrast to crystalline silicon, which is an indirect band-gap semiconductor). This difference is crucial, as it allows CIGS films to generate far more electricity per unit of material. A CIGS film as thin as 1 micron produces a photoelectric effect equal to that of a crystalline silicon wafer 200-300 microns thick. In other words, CIGS cells use less than 1% of the semiconductor material required by crystalline silicon cells, which yields an inherent (and sustainable) cost advantage.
History
The CIGS photovoltaic effect was first discovered in the 1970s. Since then, government and university labs have dramatically advanced the understanding and efficiency of CIGS material, achieving 19.5% conversion efficiency at the Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL). This level of efficiency is comparable to polycrystalline silicon solar cells, which represent the preponderance of the current production and installed modules in the solar industry. CIGS has also proven to be stable in a field environment, with modules under test for more than fifteen years.
CIGS has been produced commercially in modest volumes for nearly a decade, but the industry has lacked a high-volume manufacturing technology to fully realize its potential. Miasolé differentiates itself by bringing high-volume, thin-film manufacturing technology to the CIGS solar industry. In a broad sense, Miasolé is simply depositing a new set of thin films using technology its team has proven in the hard disk industry. Rather than applying magnetic films, Miasolé is using the same technology to deposit CIGS semiconductor films on a large scale.
Miasolé is excited about the opportunity to combine the solid research work done in the nation's laboratories with Miasolé's high volume thin-film manufacturing expertise. The net result is industrial-scale, low-cost, reliable and US-made solar products that put the power of the sun to work.
HelioVolt selects Texas for its first CIGS plant
Posted by Michael Kanellos
HelioVolt, which plans on producing thin film solar panels made from copper indium gallium and selenide (CIGS), will build a 20-megawatt factory in Austin, Texas, that will start popping out panels in 2008.
The factory will employ about 150 people. The company then hopes to move into mass manufacturing by the first quarter of 2009 as well as expand production capacity.
CIGS solar panels aren't as efficient at converting sunlight into electricity as silicon solar panels, but advocates say that they cost far less to produce. CIGS solar panels can also be placed on glass or polymer sheets. Ideally, a plastic sheet coated with CIGS solar cells could cover the roof of a giant retail outlet and provide the building with a huge percentage of its electricity.
Getting CIGS into mass production, however, has taken some work. HelioVolt, Miasole, and DayStar Technologies have all experienced delays. NanoSolar, in Silicon Valley, just began producing solar cells out of its new factory.
Although each of the CIGS companies will make the same basic product, they each employ a different manufacturing process. He who comes up with a cheap, reliable way to produce finicky CIGS solar cells will be the winner, say analysts. First Solar, which makes cadmium telluride thin film solar cells, can attribute a lot of its success to its manufacturing process, which it has honed for the last few decades.
Earlier this year, HelioVolt raised $101 million. Investors include New Enterprise Associates and the Masdar Clean Tech Fund, an investment group formed by the government of Abu Dhabi.
Venture capitalists have poured more than $344 million into five CIGS companies in the last few years--Nanosolar, Miasole, Solopower, Solyndra, and HelioVolt.
What is the O/S please ?
48M is impossible with the 2008 7B$ sales.....
What is the O/S please.
32M ?
Wow, pass 1$.
No stop here.....
Insane..
Solar is the place to be in 2008.
Chart tell me 0.0125$, next stop 0.05$ after that.
I'm not in, but I'm very impressed.
Holy cow, brake the last support....
Where is the bottom ?

Hi Folks,
Happy new year.
Don't ask me for details but we gonna rock very soon.
When the run is gonna start is gonna be like a "tsunami", why ?
-If only one big shorter decide to cover he will attract all the others, they will be forced to follow him.
-When the shorter will cover (On no news) everybody will be asking "What's going on ?" but all the MOMO will jump in the ship and push it higher.
-The key is to keep your shares as long as possible, If all the longs stay together the shorter will need to pay a high price.
-If we combine 250M-400M shares short covering + Retails jumping + MOMO players, who really knows where we can go ?
My advise, keep your eyes on L2 and be ready to jump in.
But please, don't sell too quickly or you will have a negative effect on all of us .
If we stay solid we can see 0.02-0.04$ very very easy.
Now, If news come above all this, see you above 10 cents.
Let's Rock, we deserve it !
All the shorter are bombarding me in my private box on I-hub.
Tech guys are not stupid.
GBDX is under the radar screen.....

Shares Short 1,001,600
Short % of Float 4.21 %
My source talk about 2$/share near term.
Will buy another 150K in the next two week.
So the market cap is 130M$ ?
125K buy on the ask just pass.
2008 will reward this buyer.
