Very good news punk!! Solid 2010 for HNSS with great expansion potential with their new business direction.
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well and I appreciate your kind words :)
Hope everyone here and at MOPN enjoys some fun and good food with family and friends for Thanksgiving!!
Eat, drink and be merry and travel safe. :)
It would appear that MB does not put out PR's during Turkey week?
Let's hope for a solid update next week sometime...would very much appreciate some more information regarding HNSS new business strategy and product line.
I know of investors waiting on the sidelines for more information.
Happy Thanksgiving to all here!!! Enjoy time with your families.
I would assume then that since HNSS management initiated that buyback a few weeks ago, they would now want to clarify in a PR that they will be, when they can, buying back shares on the open market?? It would sure help shareholders understand more clearly, managements intent.
That and anything else HNSS can share around their new business direction will certainly be appreciated.
Completely agree punk. Shareholders are in need of a solid shareholder update.
A comprehensive and informative PR will bring in new shareholders. I know some that are sitting on the sidelines waiting for additional information.
Perhaps it will, at the very least, put some MM's on notice to be on their best behavior for a while?? Good timing for us!
The pps should have run several times over already here, especially considering the low float...Friday's trading or limited trading tells me there really aren't many sellers at this level.
PPS is spring loaded here and ready for a solid PR/shareholder update...good news will bring volume and finally let the pps take off.
That's the thing about a low float stock...traders trying to get in even at market prices to load up are being careful.
The pps will run up easy with volume...it would be interesting to see what a 10 million volume day would look like here.
punk, I believe that you're correct in that the company still has more news to release. They've been providing steady, weekly updates and there is much more to tell us.
Every morning for weeks the MM's have tried to take this stock down for shorty...and from what I can tell now, they're just feeding HNSS some cheapies which will continue to reduce to OS. Ironic.
Some solid news will get the volume up and this stock will fly with the low float. Heck, even without news this stock can run just with volume.
Good points and good to see ya here sunbunz.
Good news Se7en...enjoy it and continue to think healthy positive thoughts.
Good work Narvo. Thanks for posting that :)
Will do ridge. I'll send one out in a minute.
Nice recovery on the pps today though! Gives credit to the small float concept and belief in HNSS's potential, imo.
Thanks old_schooler....very good to know that management is still buying back shares as part of their goals and that they are looking forward to profits by the sounds of things.
A summary PR would be helpful letting shareholders know some basics such as target market for products, contracts pending, current float and when the new machines are expected to be on-line in the near future.
Product demand has to be there for HNSS or why bother to build three more machines? Shareholders need official confirmation of growth potential from MB.
Yup just more MM tactics. Can't see MB leaving us hanging without more significant news to come...hopefully something about contracts or confirmation of float would be good.
MM's probably reaching down to grab some stop losses to try to get some momentum going...didn't work.
That's exactly what shareholders need right now...a good look at the bigger HNSS picture.
The float here is still small so some solid good news will easily give the pps some new life.

HNSS management has done and continues to do the right thing in order to keep the shorts guessing. I posted this before regarding shorting and ways a CEO or company can handle shorting/NS.
HNSS is keeping us informed with a steady stream of news and reducing the public shares available. IMO, a solid turning point can happen any time now...after the Nov 12 deadline, that is.

Re: old_schooler post# 6481 Post # of 9839
old_schooler, any shorting around here will turn into a short squeeze on news lol.
Here's an interesting bit on shorts for CEO's. Can't find the original source but it's got some merit.
Quote:Watch your trading volume. If you're seeing four or five times your company's float trade hands in an otherwise ordinary day, and you have no large share overhangs, pay attention. Start documenting those patterns.
Keep your focus on operations. Your stock price is not declining exclusively due to naked shorting. Weakness in the business, industry, model, communications or management team exists well before naked shorting begins and allows it to continue. In most cases, the best deterrent for shorts of any kind is consistent execution and credible communications with your shareholders.
Always surprise on the upside. By maintaining absolute secrecy before good news, you give yourself the best chance to catch the shorts of guard and maybe even squeeze them. Be conscious of unintended signals you may send when in public appearances, conference calls and analyst meetings before a particularly good quarter or other surprising good news. Keep your cards close to your chest and save those glowing press releases for the middle of the trading day.
Maintain a steady stream of news. By communicating with your investors as often as possible, you remove some of the mystery surrounding a company that a naked shorter typically targets. In the absence of news, a continuously dropping stock price is the only communication your investors are hearing. Sales of stock by legitimate owners are sure to follow.
Put floors on your convertibles. A floorless convertible bond (also known as a "convertible death spiral") is an open invitation for its owners to short the stock as aggressively as possible. A constant decline in share price means the convertible owners will get more shares because the initial rate of conversion will change. While the original shareholders may very well lose their entire stake in the company, the convertible owners can continue to short the stock until they can effectively cover the original short with new shares created by a new rate. Should those convertibles be held offshore where naked shorting is not illegal, the potential for price depression becomes even greater. Ensuring you have a floor on those converts will prevent the worst case scenario.
Monitor small international exchanges. If your firm unexpectedly turns up on the Berlin-Bremen stock exchange and you, the CEO, did not request a listing there, that might be a sign of a problem. Request the removal of your company from that exchange immediately, and keep asking until it's done.
Realize your choice of financing vehicle may attract naked shorting interest. In addition to floorless convertibles, PIPEs may also attract undue attention from potential funders. Since shares in a PIPE are sold for below market price, the provider could short the stock down to that level with no risk of capital loss on his part. When issuing warrants with the deal, you're also effectively pushing the price lower through increased dilution of existing shareholders. While it's true that sometimes beggars can't be choosers when it comes to raising funds, go into those negotiations with your eyes wide open.
Check the Threshold Security lists. Links to the lists at each exchange are below. Keep in mind that inclusion on that list does not mean naked shorting or any other improper activity is occurring, just that some shares meet the three requirements mentioned above. An extended presence on the Threshold list, however, in combination with some other signals mentioned above may be an important sign.
Don't read the message boards. You'll drive yourself nuts, waste a ton of time and eventually convince yourself you're a victim of someone's ill wishes, naked shorts or otherwise. If you're that compelled to monitor the boards, ask your IR team to send you weekly summaries of any cogent posts.
Know your IR company. Consider your choice of an investor relations firm as your first line of defense. Does the company have expertise in dealing with naked shorting? Does the price of your stock mysteriously rise or fall between the time you send your draft press releases and when they hit the wires? Do they have long-term clients willing to vouch for their integrity? And do they have processes in place to handle sensitive information?
Know your transfer agent. Given that the process of naked shorting begins at the brokerage level, there's not much your company's transfer agent can do with regards to those shares. The responsibility for tracking them lies with the brokerage. It is theoretically possible, however, for a corrupt transfer agent to conceal the true float and otherwise manipulate the shares themselves.
Both your transfer agent and IR firm should be able to advise you on the effectiveness of combating naked shorts by changing CUSIP numbers, reverse mergers, and/or reverse splits. Although the long-term effectiveness of these strategies is questionable, it may be useful as part of a larger strategy to deter naked shorting. After changing your company's CUSIP number, for instance, all existing stock certificates must be exchanged for new ones. All issued and outstanding certificates from old shares will no longer represent an interest in the company until exchanged. This may be more trouble than it's worth, however. Once the new shares are in circulation, there's nothing to stop a new round of naked shorting by determined parties. Such tactics may represent a small part of an overall strategy to reduce naked shorting interest in your company.
Shorty has no idea what management has up their sleeve next. It's a huge risk to continue to short especially when shorty has no idea how many certs are available anymore, as of Nov. 12.
Management has laid out a progression of PRs, as they reveal their business strategy...and as you say, they have a consortium of investors who know what the big picture is for HNSS.
I'm hoping that HNSS management will reveal more details of their share restructuring/buyback this week and more details around their business clients and target market.
Once HNSS management reveals the bigger picture to us then shorty will have no choice but to cough up the cash and cover.
That's just silly...and sounds more like someone is trying to help the shorts and/or themselves buy cheap??? Perhaps expecting bigger news?
A share buyback is in progress, company raised $2 million and have revenues coming in already from one machine.
CEO is releasing steady and progressive company news.
So if I picked up 500,000 shares today, I could theoretically email the company today that I'll sell them my certs/block for .02 a share?
Big fake wall today, btw.
Some new information available on their website! Very cool project and interesting application for KC9000.

Freedom Energy To Participate In Asphalt Shingle Recycling Project
November 11, 2010, Fort Wayne, Indiana.-Freedom Energy Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets: FDMF)
Freedom Energy Holdings, CEO, Brian Kistler, announced today that the company has entered
into a Collaboration Agreement with Americans Investing In America, Inc., (AIIA) and Alternative
Energy Solutions, LLC, (AES) both located in Michigan. Under terms of the agreement each
party has a significant role in creating a process to first collect the oil in the asphalt shingles and
second to recycle the hydrocarbons into a reusable alternative energy source.
AIIA will supply over 70 tons of recycled asphalt shingles and AES will supply the process of
taking the separated oil and processing it into a recycled alternative energy source. Both
companies are assisting Freedom develop the process utilizing a version of the base KC 9000®
formula which has been developed to specifically break down the shingle and separate the oil
from the other aggregates.
Bryan Hall, AIIA’s President, stated, “Recycling asphalt shingles has evolved over the last forty
years. Through considerable research and development the industry of recycling shingles is just
beginning to have a major impact on the reduction of construction and demolition waste
generation. Today, there are a dozen or so states that are utilizing manufacture scrap in their
roadways. State Departments of Transportation are beginning to seriously look at the benefits in
cost reduction and improvement to the pavement characteristics. A few states have already
written spec’s allowing the utilization of both manufacturing and tear-off scrap. This industry is
quickly moving from the infancy stage into a growth stage and with the assistance of Freedom's
KC9000® an exciting new market is about to open for the approximate 11 million tons of asphalt
shingle waste generated each year in the United States.” (US)(CIWMB 2007; CMRA 2007;
Sengoz and Topal 2005; Zickell 2003).
Scott Decker, AES, President, commented, “The Alternative Energy Market is heavily
dependent on the discovery and implementation of renewable fuel sources. The demand for
greener fuels, along with the demand for sources more sustainable than our petroleum based oil
supplies, are driving this industry’s growth. Currently, all renewable bio-fuels on the market
require a mixture with a petroleum based fuel. For example, the most common bio fuel, Bio
Diesel, is used in a ratio of 5%-20% Bio-Diesel, and 80%-95% petroleum diesel (referred to as
B5, B10, B20, etc...). AES has developed a bio fuel called Organic Diesel. This fuel is proving
to be of great benefit to municipal power generation plants, on-site power generation, farmers,
and small trucking fleets. Although it demands a much lower percentage of petroleum diesel,
Organic Diesel does still require between 5%-50% petroleum diesel depending on the
application. The ability to acquire this petroleum product from recycled sources is extremely
beneficial to AES as we look to expand our market by providing a truly green alternative to our
clients.
“The ability to team up with experts in the fields of Shingle Recycling and Alternative Fuels close
to home is a great opportunity for us to compliment the projects already in motion,” stated
Kistler.

Actually, it's ok for people to have insider information, it's only illegal to trade on insider information. Once the 'inside information' becomes public knowledge then one can trade.
Could be the MM's brought this down so shorty could cover at .015??
The November 12 deadline is probably haunting shorty in his sleep. lol
MM mind games on low volume. They're getting nervous about the company's share buy back.
Get some cheapies while you can.
I see that too, PUMA is in the mix today. Anyone familiar with PUMA? Looks like they're squeezing themselves in on the B/A today. Have they been here before?
Great push in the first half hour...Sweet!!!
It would appear that Michael Black has been working in the background for some time now and getting ready for this moment...a solid increase in the pps.
If shorty were smart they would have covered weeks ago and would be enjoying the benefits of a strong upswing in the pps now. Instead they try to keep it down...shorty is simply foolish.
More news from the company is expected. Today was definitely good news.
This is not the day or week to flip, imo. Shorts will have to cover now, if they're smart. This week will be very unpredictable.
Yup Ticker will be at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) - the biggest show of the year and this year it's in Vegas!
Here's a link to the exhibitor list and I believe Ticker is booth number 256: http://www.globalgamingexpo.com/RNA/RNA_G2E/2010_PDFs/G2E2010_Exhibitor_List.pdf
The show is November 16 to 18 at the Las Vegas Convention Centre.

Nope, more like providing a reality check.
MOPN management is progressing forward at a solid pace. Although management's efforts often gets a negative twist for the benefit of a day trader buy back in for a cheaper pps. :) Hmmmm...would that be the case here??
MOPN management is keeping us informed of their steps and stages of development. That helps to keep shorters at bay, too. Financial and contracts will be reported too when available.
MOPN is a growth stage company and this is just how it works.
We are at the mercy of the day traders which is what I've been saying for months, too. This stock still runs up on even minimal news but there is always the profit taking which will bring the pps back down, especially because of the low float.
Keeping in mind it's the day traders who run the pps up so high in the first place, so they do provide a positive because of the low float too.
As more financial and contract news becomes available though the pps will get to a point of no return and finally get a higher base.
MOPN is hard at work building that financial base and we will be the fortunate ones over time.
I would think so too, grtn. MOPN will have a select group with the most international experience travel to Saudi Arabia. Their sponsor will also prepare them as to what is expected and how to proceed.
Huge opportunity which I'm sure they will take great caution in being culturally and politically correct.
Do you have any idea how business protocols work in Saudi Arabia??
Didn't think so. It's not as though you can just make a phone call to the top brass. It's tough to get in the door for starters.
MOPN just got an official invitation....do you realize how difficult that is especially for a small company?
Saudi Aramco is a state-owned national oil company of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia - Language, Culture, Customs and Etiquette
Business Etiquette and Protocol
Relationships & Communication
. You will need a Saudi sponsor (wakeel) to enter the country. The sponsor acts as an intermediary and arranges appointments with appropriate individuals.
. Saudis do not require as much personal space as most western cultures. As such, they will stand close to you while conversing and you may feel as if your personal space has been violated.
. Saudis prefer to work with people they know and trust and will spend a great deal of time on the getting-to-know-you part of relationship building.
. You must be patient.
. Since Saudis will most likely judge you on appearances, dress and present yourself well.
Business Meeting Etiquette
. Appointments are necessary and should be made several weeks to one month in advance if at all possible.
. When meeting with government officials, a firm date will not be settled upon until you are physically in the country.
. Try to schedule meetings in the morning.
. You should arrive at meetings on time, although it is an accepted custom to keep foreigners waiting.
. It is not uncommon to have a meeting canceled and rescheduled once you arrive.
. Meetings are generally not private until after a relationship of trust has been developed. This means you may expect frequent interruptions. Others may wander into the room and start a different discussion. You may join in, but do not try to bring the topic back to the original discussion until the new person leaves.
. Business meetings start after prolonged inquiries about health, family, etc. Never inquire about a Saudi's wife.
Sure it's hard to predict exactly what will happen tomorrow...it could hit .20 easy with this news and strong buy in pressure.
Just don't want people to panic/worry if there's a pull back...cause that's just par for the course.
That sounds like a wise caution. This is fantastic news grant you but I think we'll get that BP plus response on the pps when the contracts are signed.
That'll be a momentous PR and pps run!!!
When shorty finally covers here and with continued good PRs from HNSS, the pps will fly. The low float is key here.
My other stock with similar low float numbers (maybe slightly higher) took off after a solid PR...flew up by the pennies not tenths of a penny too.
HNSS should do the same once the MM choke hold gets lifted. Good support from HNSS today.
Nice to see some happy MOPN campers back on the board. Good information update PR. Significant progress here for MOP. World's largest oil company...puts a smile on my face :)
Good work Charlie and Wayne....and all at MOPN headquarters working their collective butts off!
Some solid pps movement here. Congrats to all.
