hmm, still not sweating. I am to the point of opening another heineken. I get the feeling that the feces are being shaken out of this stock, a little more down than an upswing. Hang in there and our day shall come. For those of you who are gloating like the ninnyish pollyannas you are, I should have some boots for you to lick relatively soon, figurativley and jestingly speaking of course. IMHO
panic? do I detect panic? Still here, still confident, still way longer than anyone else. If you believe in the company than have the cajones to hang on. If you dont believe in the company than why are you still here? I am not sweating and never have and I have been down to the very bottom with this stock and I intend to ride it to the top. I have no worries because my investment return horizon isnt six minutes in the future. Ive said it before here, and I will say it again, if you believe in the company, have the courage of your convictions and to hades with the nay-sayers. IMHO
Cowboy, I could respond on so many different levels to that post. I agree with the postulate tenents put forward but I will go one step further. My belief in God goes without question. I have a personal opinon that we have been removed from God, in its purest form, by thousands of years of institutionalized dogma put forth by churches and goverments in order to elicit certain desired behaviors from populations as a whole.
I believe in God, not in the mass produced, mass marketed God, but in a more simplistic and simple way. I will be the first to admit that if you take a billion different people and could look into their minds, you would find that God is a billion different visions. My personal belief is that God encompases all, we are of God and he is of us. We are allegedly created in his image and thusly we were given the ability to create. Creation is the act of exercising ones free will in any direction we choose.
Man creates many different things, we have the ability to create pain and suffering, we have the ability to destroy the world around us and create fear in the world around us. We are also imbued with the ability to do great good, the bring happiness and joy into this world, by our actions and thoughts.
In other words, we all carry the unique talent, within ourselves of creating heaven and hell. I believe right now the collective of humankind is busily involved in creating a very profound version of hell, that matches the worst visions of any thinker of any ages. The thing that is so ironic is that we have built this hell by degrees, slowly sliding into it as the centuries pass. If you sit in a cauldron of cold water and somone lights a fire underneath, the water slowly heats up so you adjust to the changes until it is too late.
Is it too late, are we so far down the road to hell that we cannot turn back? Of course not, we were given free will by God, it is never too late to turn back.
I think, I began turning back several years ago. I discovered that I had to look inside to understand the heavens and hells I had created inside of myself. I had to find out what really mattered. If we each come to understand the goodness within ourselves then one by one we add to the collective vision of heaven. It is never too late to turn back from the road we have made for ourselves. In that I take great comfort. I cannot help but wonder though, if God is looking on and shaking his head.
Sorry, there I go getting all windy again. IMHO
For those of you who have written me privately to ask just what my target is. I dont mind telling anyone, my friends and I who have invested in pbls have a target price of 1.27. I caution those who have asked however, that this price target is based purely upon our research and reflects our speculation as to possible valuation at the time of purchase and nothing else. It should be noted that I have held this stock for over two years. Our purchase was based on the quarry and its reserves and did not reflect the post Katrina reconstruction. Pbls also purchased several large plumbing outfits in our area. We all continue to hold. When I first bought in I had a time range of three to five years, so far, and this is only my opinion, Pbls is ahead of where I anticipated it would be at this time, unfortunately the pps does not reflect the true value of the assets of the company at this time. I feel sure that this will change in the coming months. Once again, I stress that all of this is purely IMHO
Patience my friends, I remember buying a company called digital lightwave DIGL many moons ago, when I bought it was just another crappy little tech company, I paid less than a buck per share, it dipped just after being listed, and after about a year, it began to climb. I sold at 138.00 a share. I bought big into pbls when it was barely born and I have the same feeling about this company but I dont flip, I just hold until a stock hits my target. Patience is the key, if you can afford to hold, hold through ups and downs, if the company is worth its salt, it will perform to your satisfaction, my dd tells me that this company is a winner, of that I have no doubt. As per other events of the day, Asus you still have my utmost confidence and admiration as a moderator and I respect cowboy and his posts without reservation. IMHO
Do I hear "flight of the valkyries" playing in the background?
lol im sure they are scrambling the kami-kazi's at this very moment...bring it on!
hmm, paid low ten figures for this acquisition. Completion of the first 80 unit project at fair market value should pay for the acquisition, with five to eight million to spare...net.
sounds like a good move to me. I specialize in renovation construction and believe me, it is the one area of the construction world that is recession proof, if anything, the worse the housing market, the better the renovation business. IMHO
i'll second that emotion
Im sorry, I should clarify my statements. I am often accused of obviscating. If you have held your shares for any period of time you should be safe. It may prove more difficult for shorts, whose shares are sometimes, electronically borrowed in order to fill an order. Those are the shares that are of dubious ownership. Ultimately, if you are a holder, you should be fine. If you are a short, pump and dumper, MM and there is a run up there MIGHT be some question as to actual ownership of the shares in question. Sorry for any confusion I might have caused. In the end, hopefully, it is the market manipulators who will get it in the end. The rear end that is. It would serve them right. IMHO
It seems to me that this is a message specifically directed to the Long holders of Pbls. PA Issued a statement some time ago urging Longs to get a stock certificate to prove that they were legitimate holders of the stock. It was his way of spitting in the eyes of MMs. It may now be an indication of a large move in the near future. PA wants to make sure that his longs dont get caught in the ensuing chaos of an unverifiable share glut if the stock skyrockets. IMHO
of course I could be wrong on all of this and it is just paul calling us to the dinner table.....
It could be MMs it could be a buyback, it could be insiders carefully nudging in before something breaks. Only time will tell. I remain, so long, that it is frightening. IMHO
GFYM go share carnal knowledge with your maternal unit
DA a posterior of lesser intelligence then the general population.
imho
dirty avocation or in the case of pbls DRILLING ADVOCATE! I knew that six years of college would come in handy for something. Finally! lol

What happens when you put twenty newly wealthy people on one bulliten board? Its "BIG PBLS" the ultimate new reality show coming to a bulliten board near you this fall.
You will thrill to the drama, as the fortunes of these seemingly normal people rise and fall. Personalities will clash! Tempers will flare! Clear alcoholic beverages will flow!
Dogs will howl at the moon!
And in the background of this amazing new reality show, the real star, PBLS, will continue to pulse and grow.
Watch the fireworks as PPS hits .03....10....1.00 and more.
How high will it go...How rich will they get?
You will thrill to stinging DD. Cringe at raging debate.
Join Asus, our moderator as he tries to maintain control of this wildly diverse group of investors. Who will be lauded and asked to stay? Who will be kicked off? Who will be put on ignore? Who will choose voluntary isolation? When will Pnew next peek over the fence?
For the answers to all of these riviting questions, you will just have to stay tuned to this new and dynamic, reality show?

I agree with asus. I think he has done and exceptional job as board moderator. It seems obvious to me that we have been infected by malcontents, who have entered the room pounding out their bilge. Two great truisms apply here. Meet all decptions with truths, lies cannot stand the light of truth. The second is the fact that if you keep feeding ferral animals, they will always return....dont feed them and they will move on. DO Not Feed the Animals, hopefully they havent scented here yet.
I am forced to admit, however, that I am greatly amused by both their desperation and their unmitigated frustration. I figure if we just ignore them they will get so frustrated that their brains will leak out their ears. LOL IMOSHO
The courage of your convictions. This is my first post on I hub. I just wanted to chime in with the voice of a long. I purchased my shares back in 2004. I saw an article in our local paper about pbls purchasing California Plumbing an did some research. What I found was information about a small company on the verge of becoming large. I decided at the time to buy and I have held my purchase ever since. At the time I set a target for Pbls at which point I would divest my shares. I believed at the time and still do that pbls has great potential. In the two plus years I have held the stock there has never been a broken promise or intentional mis-statement by the company or its representatives. The company, unlike many other boarded securities I hold, has never been about pie in the sky forcasts, it has been about stating an intent and setting about meeting the obligations of each statement.
I have been well rewarded by pbls with triple digit percentage increases in my investment.
I have followed this board intently since shortly after its inception but have never commented. I have watched as Pbls has traveled up and down the charts but I stand with the company because I am of the conviction that only good will come from my patience. Only good will come from P.A. and Company. They are not only working for their own reward but for mine.
I want to thank my pbls LONG brethren for their great research and most of all for their convictions. Hang tight and hold hard our day is coming. IMHO
