Time to short? I guess we'll see

Im looking too possibly get back in when the emerge and reissue the new shares.


Depends how much delphi gets their act together, and how many losses they rack up. Remember Kmart? Although, this is a whole different animal.

Wonder when they are going to reissue the stock. By the end of the year?

"how do you know what a lot of people want to do??? "

Quoted from you, replying to my post...
As If I said that was going to happen for sure.

Please don't put words in my mouth.
I didn't say I know that people are going to do that for sure.

I said " IF A lot of people want to get out of this tomorrow before it looses even more value, they will sell at the Bid..." Go back and reread the post.

No one knows whats really going to happen.

And No, I wouldn't care what you're going to do. I didn't ask for your advice. You could burn your money for all I care, it is yours. I simple stated what could happen if it goes bad.

.....As I said in my other post ...Most brokers didn't transfer the old shares over yet, so a lot of people cant trade them until tomorrow.


If A lot of people want to get out of this tomorrow before it looses even more value, they will sell at the Bid, right off the bat. If enough people do that the highest bid will be taken out and it will go to the next lowest... in which case, if more kept selling at the bid.. it would continue to drop.

It wasn't really official last week. The company didn't formally announce it till today. Many people never got the letter addressed to the shareholders.

hah, I guess we'll see... I'm bookmarking this post now.

Of course it held up well today, no one could sell. Most people couldn't trade it as the old shares of NWOG haven't been converted in their brokerage accounts yet. I disagree that the first day fallowing Reverse splits will show the biggest sell off based on that reason, from others I've got stuck in.

The stock didn't drop into the 1 cent range until we got the letter from Maly. stating there was going to be a RS on 9/11, which we got 9/22-9/23. Before that it had been trading mid .02 range based off of RS rumors.

Its under $1 already... subpenny by the pre-R/S value

Not today. Most brokers didn't transfer the old shares over yet, so a lot of people cant trade them... Wouldn't surprise me if there were a lot of selling tomorrow

Most brokers wont do the switch/ wont let you trade the Post RS shares till the day after they are transfered.

Wouldn't surprise me to see a lot of panic selling tomorrow when everyone is able to trade again.

aahahaha

And it will still drop.
if you even get the PR...

Although I hope I'm wrong.

Probably won't hear anything about it.
Seems like they are doing it as quietly as possible. heh.

Wake up one day,.. surprise. Reverse split.

NWOG listed 6th from bottom:
"10/01/2007 13:50:02|S2|NWOL|NWOG|North West Oil Group, Inc. New Common Stock|North West Oil Group, Inc. Common Stock|10/02/2007|1-100 R/S **|||u"

Little over 2minutes before we are caught in the RS with no return

Whats the whole point of buying back shares if they issue an additional 200 million? ..."Private Placement"?

Since they've almost maxed the # of authorized shares seems like they are playing both sides of this, with a "buyback"... while also diluting hundreds of millions more shares.

With the # of outstanding shares pretty close to the # of authorized shares....Whats the point of the R/S if they didn't plan on diluting more when it is complete.

For Up listing? how? when? next year...? will we even be worth a .001 by then?

I've never seen or experienced anything good come from an RS even on legit profitable, reporting companies on OTC:bb. Every one has sank afterwards.

This is really shady anymore. Gets worse by the day.
Maybe if there we're some logic to all of this we would be able to understand what they are trying to do. But they barely communicate anything, so all we can do is speculate.

This is like the stereotype pink sheet stock anymore

AHAHA, WOw.
You really think you would get a $0.09/share dividend on a $0.007/ share stock?

You reallllyyy need help if you do.

There's almost always a symbol change when there is an RS.
IT doesn't mean we're going to OTCbb like the other post said.

Yep, unbelievable.

But someone is buying it. Otherwise this would have went much lower.

Are they not going to re-issue new shares in the next few months after they emerge from bankruptcy?

If so the current ones will be worthless.

nothing regarding the R/S confirming or denying?

Can you share that email with us?

Lots of trades at the Ask... currently .017.. Soon to fall if it continues

ask is a... "Movin' on Up"

Very Emotional day for people.. I'm tempted to sell. But I'm sitting on a fence here.

I'd like to heard it from them....No clarification, PR from the company on whats happening, although it seems the RS is going full steam ahead.

With most of todays panic over already, I wonder if the share price will recover slightly, as it has already done. With enough people buying at the ask, it may happen a bit more.

I agree that the upside may be limited when the RS does occur, and I doubt we would go from $2-20... However it has happened before.

The stock YTBL,,....now YTBLA, also a pinky went from $2... near the $20 range in a very short period of time, this was about 6-8 months ago. If I remember right there hadn't even been any news, just filings in which there was insider buying. It then bounced around like crazy. Was a traders dream.

And that was with a much smaller float, than this will be if we do the 1 for 100. I believe it was something like 30-35million shares. We would be something like 9 million, correct?

Regardless to what other stocks have done. Unless they accompany this with good news tomorrow, I believe it will take a dive just from all the panic this has created. We'll be lucky if we open at the same level we left off with Friday.

Yep, this thing has a LLLoonnngg way to fall if they plan on doing that.

A real scam stock, WVTI (not sure what the symbol might be now) has done that a few times. Dilute the hell out of it, trade down to .0001 with max authorized shares, R/S, rinse and repeat.

yeah really. "Someone hacked Ihub", "someone hacked the broker", etc etc. Smells like denial. ( I literally laughed out loud when I read those ones)

The email I received this letter through isn't associated with Ihub in any way/shape/form. I use it strictly for my broker and financial "stuff". Someone would somehow have to have a list of all the shareholder contact information to send this email to us.

Well, we're getting an RS. .... Question now is Why...

Since Maly, management & insiders own large number of shares....... as do us shareholder..... If we suffer from this, so do they.

Which leads me to believe there is something more to this. Maly. must have something up his sleeve. I still expect panic monday morning..

Wonder if it has anything to do with the Saratovneftegeofizika acquisition/merger...

I was thinking the same thing about the .30 by sept. and $1.00 by end of year statement Maly. said ....as soon as I saw the RS letter.

Well, we got it. Only Not the way we expected.

Maybe they're setting up for s Press release extravaganza,

starting with todays news

I agree, Id rather have silence that fluff, but they must have something by now on this assessment or this acquisition.

Even an update for this buyback

when was the last time anyone had any communication with them?
Via email/phone?

I get no response through any of my emails, no matter what address I send them to, or how short the message is. I have to get a phone card

PPL Reaches Agreement to Sell Chilean Company

ALLENTOWN, Pa., Sept. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PPL Corporation (NYSE: PPL) announced Wednesday (9/12) that it has agreed to sell its controlling interest in a Chilean electricity delivery business to Compania General de Electricidad S.A. (CGE).

CGE has agreed to acquire PPL's 95.4 percent interest in Empresas Emel S.A. (Emel) for $660 million. The transaction is expected to close by mid-November 2007, following a public tender process for the total shares issued by Emel.

Emel, headquartered in Santiago, has 575,000 electricity delivery customers in central and northern Chile.

As a result of the sale, PPL said it expects to record a fourth-quarter special after-tax earnings gain in the range of $205 million to $225 million, or 53 to 58 cents per share, subject to final accounting and tax calculations.

'There was robust interest in the Chilean operations, interest that resulted in the process moving even more quickly than we had anticipated,' said Rick L. Klingensmith, president of PPL Global, the company's international subsidiary. He noted that the Chilean operations have shown significant improvement in profitability, customer service, reliability and safety -- improvements that make Emel one of the top service companies in Chile.

PPL announced its intention to sell its Latin American operations in March, saying that, since it did not intend to significantly grow its interests in the region, it was acting to take advantage of attractive market valuations for solidly performing operations in the region. The company completed sales of its electricity delivery companies in El Salvador and Bolivia in May and July, respectively.

PPL Global companies continue to provide electricity delivery services to 2.5 million customers in the United Kingdom. PPL has said it has no plans to sell the U.K. businesses, which accounted for about 25 percent of PPL's annual earnings in 2006.

The company has said that one of the options for proceeds from the Latin American sales would be to invest in growth opportunities in its core business of generating, marketing and delivering electricity. Other options include repurchase of a portion of the company's debt and common stock.

J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. advised PPL on the sales process.

CGE is one of the largest electricity companies in Chile and has operations focused in electricity distribution, transmission and generation. The company delivers electricity to more than 1.5 million customers in central and southern Chile and more than 700,000 customers in Argentina. CGE also has operations in the liquefied petroleum gas market in Chile, and in natural gas markets in Chile and Argentina.

PPL Corporation, headquartered in Allentown, Pa., controls more than 11,000 megawatts of generating capacity in the United States, sells energy in key U.S. markets and delivers electricity to about 4 million customers in Pennsylvania and the United Kingdom.

Certain statements contained in this news release, including statements with respect to future earnings impacts and business disposition, are 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although PPL Corporation believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the statements. The following are among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements: political, regulatory or economic developments and conditions in foreign countries; capital markets; disposition proceeds; and foreign exchange rates.

I'll only bet donuts.

I'm not holding my breath until 60 days is up.
Thats just the time frame the financing bank had to make the decision. They don't necessarily have to or will tell us anything after that date.

Although maybe they are holding things back until it is finalized , and are just gonna give us a bombshell of a PR and send us to the top of the Himalayas....... then again, they could send us to the bottom of the Marianas trenches also

I believe he's referring to the end of the 60 days in which the decision about financing the purchase of Sarabaruktukanbonpenomeoplevitzeftegetozofizikaziamondotuka was was supposed to be made by the financing bank....based on the feasibility study.

Roughly 10 trading days until then.

It smells like something. Someone just wanted a bunch of shares FAST.....only question is WHY??

anyone else getting email responses?
I've sent several & got nothing back.

uh mutiple that by 8......
