Janice: Maybe Cramer should be our next President - suppose?
Janice: It's okay to have some hope. Seems like there is so little of it in this day and age.
Thanks for keeping us in the realm of reality though.
Screamer: In answer to your question, the reason I have decided to be optimistic about this stock now is because I have a CHOICE in the matter.
Here's my two choices:
1): Beat myself up and stay bitter indefinitely because I ever put money to KSWJ, or ...
2): Be like FORD and stay hopeful and optimistic because it is a lot better emotion to have than anger, bitterness and resentment.
Am I trying to revive a pump on this stock? No. What is there REALLY to pump, but just hot air right now?
Nothing wrong with hanging in their hopeful for a season, I guess. Hey - I wrote this off as a tax loss a long time ago, and all but gave my shares a funeral.
Yet there is still a ray of hope of resurrection, right?
Pretty impressive run today!
Raven: Yeppers - get your snowmobile suits back out of mothball and tuck away the sunscreen. Jack Frost is on his way!
FORD: I'm very encouraged here all of a sudden. Bashers are swarming! Hummmmmmmm!

Today most likely will be the cheapest you'll be able to get CKEI, because colder temperatures are heading in. Here's the forecast link:

Tucker: Throw a dart, huh?
FORD: Mind my asking WHY a PR in April? One year later -- what is the significance of a year?
Illum: think I got it now. Much thanks!
Thanks. We see what happens.
Hey anyone: How do I post a slogan or a picture at the bottom of my posts? I'm too lazy to ask Matt.
Thanks!
Oh Janice ... where AREEEEEEEEEEEEEE you?
Anyone know if CKEI is thinking about getting into air conditioning repair? Might be a smart move.
I hope every realizes the REAL reason it is so warm in the N.E. is because I bought shares of Clickable.
That's my confession. There ... now I feel better.
I have both Ameriturd and Scottrade accounts. Scottrade is now my prefered brokerage of the two. It used to be Ameriturd, because Scottrade lacked back over two years ago.
It has just reversed IMO. Scottrade has a much better streamer, and you can buy and sell the SAME stock and get better prices and quicker fills for the most part on Scottrade.
Furthermmore, the have not been playing these "little games" that Ameriturd plays all the time, such as with our stock here.
This is just outright criminal what they are doing! The arrogance of it all is what really galls me, because they think they simply don't have to answer anymore to shareholders.
I send NO money to Ameriturd anymore. As I make profits, other than what little I want to invest with, I transfer to Scottrade.
Fortunately, I am holding no PYPR shares in Ameriturd. If I had shares, I would have transfered them by now out of Ameriturd to Scottrade.
prouspx: You can buy PYPR on Scottrade. I have an account with them, and have been buying.
You're right, Jo
Vagabond: THANKS for the link regarding the naked shorting question I asked!
Can anyone put together and post here a concise list of reasons WHY naked shorting is so profitable for brokerages, say Ameritrade, for instance, as an expample?
I think it would be greatly helpful for a lot of beginning penny investors.
I haven't been following the SEC filings in quite some time, simply because I didn't own the stock and most likely never WOULD, seeing the naked short attack on this company.
But ... here was a filing a day or two ago that tipped the savy:

Hop over on the Ragingbull PBLS board and see how Ameriturd is treating PBLS shareholders this morning! Love that brokerage firm.
If people have money to invest, I cannot find one penny stock I have more confidence in than CKEI right now that stands to offer a very generous return in one's investment, in just a few short weeks no less.
For every action, there tends to be an equal and opposite reaction.
People are golfing now in the Northeast. Wait until the "artic blast" next week decends on that part of the nation. This stock will be FLYING by then! Just watch.
Ovid: The company had never been public prior to February 2006, to my knowledge anyway.
No prior reverse splits, in other words, or changes in business model/s.
Revenue coming into the company for doing background investigation hiring/training and then running background checks for security clearances has bogged down a little from what us longer LONGS hoped it would take. I bought shares last summer above $.20, and fully expected the share price to be above $.50 by January 1, 2007 ... but with the expectation that money from USIS would be coming in wheel barrels by THEN.
I'm quite confident generous revenues (hence profits) will come rolling in, but glitches pop up when dealing with prime contractors such as USIS who in turn are working on behalf of the U.S. Gubment.
If one bit of good news about revenues gets posted ... we most likely will never see this stock under $.20 again, I am 99.999% persuaded.
Of course, this is all based on other factors figured into the equation that are unpredictable, and remember, this is still a Pinksheet listed company. Unexpected negatives can pop up quickly that one never expects, so risk is always a factor to be considered with any company, yet especially Pinksheet companies, as I hope you realize.
If a person has money to invest, and can afford to lose it in a worse case scenario, I cannot find ONE Pinksheet company I have more confidence in that I'll get a good return on my investment as I do IVAY. I might have to wait more months than I would like, but I believe my HUNCH will prove to be correct.
Best to you.
Lucky
Yep - split all right. 50:1 reverse split at that. Go to Bigcharts.com to read the news.
I have a good friend who bought shares of this near $2.00. Most of it was his father's retirement savings.
After today, his father can go back to work at age 80. Thank you very much, FMDAD management. My buddies father loves you very, very much.
Let's hope some good news gets released soon; otherwise, the shorts will take this right back down to zip in no time flat. Confidence NOW has been totally eroded in this company, if no good news gets released SOON.
Bitter cold air for next week!: http://www.financialsense.com/Market/wrapup.htm
OT: What gender is the tooth fairy?
Janice: Still waiting .....................
Hummm -- I wonder if the time will come when a "carbon unit" will be worth more than the dollar?
Janice: I'm assuming the answer is: "NO!"
Janice: Have you any POSITIVES on this company?
Here's a post off the RB board (PBLS) that may be VERY pertinent to patient IVAY shareholders:
Microsoft, Walgreen, Cisco Systems and William Wrigley have something in common that may surprise you. None of them has any debt.
Unlike companies such as WorldCom, US Airways and Vivendi Universal, which have choked on their debt loads, companies that avoided the temptation to borrow during the boom are looking smart. Now that the economy has slowed, they don't have ominous interest payments that've caused their overaggressive rivals to blow up.
"What kills companies is debt," says Peter Andrew, analyst at A.G. Edwards. "Without debt, companies have the financial wherewithal to survive."
Debt-free companies
The largest debt-free companies, in terms of revenue:
Microsoft
Walgreen
Cisco Systems
Gateway
CDW Computer Centers
Family Dollar Stores
Ross Stores
Gevity HR
C.H. Robinson Worldwide
Bed Bath & Beyond
Source: USA TODAY research
Several large companies say staying debt free is part of their strategy:
* Cisco has never borrowed money and doesn't plan to. The networking company uses the cash it generates to fund expansion. Last quarter, the company threw off $1.6 billion in cash from operations.
Not having debt has helped Cisco hold up much better than rivals during the vicious downturn. Cisco earned $772 million during its most recent quarter, while Lucent lost $7.9 billion. Having interest to pay on $3.2 billion in debt hasn't helped Lucent.
* Walgreen says its drugstores generate enough cash to pay for its expansion. Its philosophy of being debt free is similar to a consumer who pays credit cards off every month, says spokesman Michael Polzin. "We're the pay-as-you-go type," he says. Its shares are just 9% below their 52-week high.
Meanwhile, Rite Aid, its former rival, is struggling with a $3.7 billion debt load. Rite Aid's shares are 76% off their 52-week high.
* Wrigley doesn't have a policy banning it from borrowing, but the chewing-gum maker says it has never had long-term debt since being founded more than 110 years ago.
* Ross Stores, a discount apparel retailer, has structured its business so it doesn't have to borrow. Excess cash generated from existing stores allows the company to expand the number of stores by 12% a year, says spokesman Katie Loughnot. And new stores only cost $1.3 million in cash to open, yet generate about $6 million in revenue in their first year. That means they pay for themselves in about two years.
The debt load on companies has been steadily increasing, hitting a record $4.9 trillion in the second quarter of 2002, estimates John Lonski, chief economist at Moody's Investors Service. But companies may be having second thoughts. Debt outstanding among non-financial companies rose just 2.8% in the second quarter, well below the 6.1% growth a year ago and 11.9% in the second quarter of 2000, he says.
But companies that resisted are glad now. "The companies that were a little more conservative with their money are better off," says Tom Galvin, spokesman for debt-free Internet company VeriSign.

Happy New Year longs! Hoping for the best in 2007.

Back at you, Jo! HNY
FORD: Mind me asking if you are married? Have any children?
By the way, hope your Christmas was rewarding. Honest.
Too quiet.
To KSWJ staff: Santa would like to deliver packages to you tonight if you would be so kind to phone him your address.
If calling after midnight, simply call the 800 SEC line. They will be glad to forward your call to Santa's cell phone.
Hopscotch and others: Thanks for the help regarding toxic financing! All have happy holidays!

Talk about a "blue light special" flashing!
How many times have you driven by a piece of property, only to say to yourself, "If ONLY I had the money to snap that piece of property up. It is a goldmine sitting there!"
And sure enough ... next thing you know, up goes a bank or a McDonalds on the very piece of property you couldn't afford when it was screaming at you to be bought at a ridiculously low price.
Well ... here sits a "piece of property" worth much, much more than what it currently sells for, and I am OUT of money to do anything about it.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it hurts!
