GSPI looks like a good buy right now, of course risky like all pennies.
I've been buying shares. The chart looks excellent. There were some MASSIVE purchases around a week ago, millions of shares bought in big blocks. Biggest volume since 2006 before the huge rally. Someone knows something, or thinks a big contract will be signed soon. There hasn't been a better time to own GSPI price-wise. And if the market rebounds soon GSPI will probably get some lift anyway. This is the only penny stock I own now BTW.
$128 million in debt? Ouch that's the worst I've ever seen for a small cap stock. I was looking to buy because of the volume/chart/news. All do look primed, but if there are infinite shares to dump bought at .0025...
Great DD here, you guys are on it. This might be good for a quick flip but obviously not a long term hold. I was deciding between EBOF and GSPI. I'm long GSPI/ethanol (no shares now but like them) and they've been heating up. Thanks for helping me make the decision and saving me some grief here.
Cool - let's get that bio-reactor goin! Sure has been slow, but solving the world's energy crisis can't be done overnight. Ya know something positive I've noticed, aside from the share price decline - there is a LOT of volume in this stinky pinky! I say that affectionately. Most companies with scant news on the pink sheets/OTC are doing like 5-$20,000 a day. Today 380,000 shares traded at .07, for a trading volume of $26,000 which is pretty darn high. It's also higher than the average for the stock, but looks like there are alot of days where $15,000+ trades. I just hope the patents here are solid and patent wars don't errupt too badly when the time comes vs whatever else has been filed out there.
Hummingbird, glad you liked the pic - I wish I was up there now. Whistler is INCREDIBLE in every sense, didn't make it there this year but the past 3 years I've ridden there about 12 days. Fell in love with it, by far the biggest mountain I ever imagined. Amazing powder at the top and sometimes all over. Ski season just ended here and I'm already going through withdrawls. So I'm booking a 10 day trip to shred in New Zealand, South Island. Very cool, but small mountains there, and the danger isn't in the double black diamonds, it's driving up the hill! You'll love everything about Whistler except the bill, and the crowds if you're going at Christmas. There's no place I'd rather go on earth.
Because I call them on their business line and they pick up the phone. Some things can be easily proven. I've spoken with 4 or 5 different company employees over the last year, ergo i know they exist.
Nope, you forgot about the fundacion confidentiality. They released audited docs from South America on the amount of cash, but specifically said we cannot reveal the identity of our companies and such. They can't crowe about their source of income, that's one of the biggest issues here.
As for staff I could list them all, but there are 5 or so full timers I know by name, and a few more that I haven't spoken with I suspect would round off to 10 or so full timers plus the new BOD as listed on the blog.
I'm saying they're paying their employees, because they have full-timers on staff. That is the evidence they are paying people - they're still showing up to work, even with the constant barrage of negative sentiment sent their way everyday. You don't go to work to get screamed at for free.
And all the supposed dumping/raising funds, which may or may not have taken place was a long time ago if ever. If all the shares sold over the last 8 months went right into someone's paycheck account it wouldn't pay a good salary anyway, even for 1 person.
So either they stocked up sooo much money a year ago by diluting they're been rationing it out very well for the whole company... or they have other sources of income.
OA, you know better - getting stock back from shareholders does not pay bills! There hasn't been enough volume over the last 8 months, lets say, to pay anyone's salary, let alone 10 people. Me sending in a cert isn't paying anything. And if you're suggesting the company staff are working for FREE - then they clearly believe in the future of the company, eh?
I don't know about the deal with Aziz, what was given, and I'll grant that as a possibility but that would only have helped for the last month or so. What about the 7 months before that? They DO have money from somewhere to pay the bills and keep the lights on, and it ain't coming from dilution or any PNMS stock sales.
So there's the list of the new board of directors, good to see. A few familiar and unfamiliar names on there to me.
Question for the bashers - how many employees of PNMS are there currently, and how many others working part time with the company? We've got the BOD putting time in, and all of them are associated with other projects or governments. We've got the PDR staff, the PNMS staff, and other sub-units. There are probably 10 full timers and 5 more on the BOD putting time into this company.
Now the catch - PNMS is NOT selling shares. There is no volume, hasn't been for months, right? PDRs are not generating sales either. HOW ARE THEY PAYING THEIR BILLS if the company has no legitimate business? Income is coming from SOMEWHERE all these months (a year, really) to pay alot of employees. Food for thought...
If you have 1.8 billion A/S and put 800M in the O/S, how many are remaining in the A/S? 1B.
I hope you're right though and it was just slop not sleaze. And also agree, with clarification that the A/S is only 1B, this will go up. IF!
When I read the PR yesterday, I clearly read it as 1.8M shares A/S, 800M O/S. 800M + 1B remaining = 1.8B. I thought it was worded quirky, but was clear in the meaning at the same time. You would have to be a VERY wishful thinker to believe it's 1B A/S. The word REMAINING, as in, not allocated to the O/S, is what I saw.
I don't own shares, but as there's not much more room to go down, this will become a bottom play soon if not now. 1.8B A/S isn't too bad for a stinky pinky down at these levels.
The company may be shorted too, who knows, but I would agree it looks like the company dumped shares after confirming they have a ton in reserve to sell you.
Fair point Banana. That's exactly what I called them asking for in the first place - we need public news! Not just individual responses, which is great but doesn't help the stock or sentiment. We all agree on that, including the company.
I don't your question makes sense. How could news be coming soon? Since they opened/closed they can't release news anymore? Must be some new Pink Sheets regulations I'm not aware of...
Hi guys, long time NNLX fan and have been watching for something to happen. Don't own shares now but am considering, looks like a bottom may be forming. Would like to see news before I buy, but volume is good enough for me, and there is some.
On snow - Mt. Baker near Seattle is still open for 1 or 2 more weeks. Rode a great blizzard there on Friday, my last day of the season likely. 17 days total this winter. Here's my best picture of the season, taken from a chair lift at Mt. Baker about 2 months ago.

I get replies from the company very quickly by E-mail or phone. Rumors that the company is not responding are bogus, HotStocks is telling the truth. I got an E-mail reply last week actually, after asking when we are going to get some news cus I'm sick of waiting! I was told news on the PDR exchange should be coming very soon, we'll see. But they are replying. Play fair.
Just spoke with Gulf Ethanol VP William Carmichael. He also would not reveal who they bought from, but when pressed said he did not know what FASC First Scientific was. So it's not us.
Well I would agree that Gulf Ethanol is 'highly speculative' and not profitable, and overpriced with a $40 million market cap. But the important thing is, are they paying real cash for FASC equiptment? Who else sells similar devices?
I don't know of any competition at all.
News today from GFET:
"Gulf Ethanol Corporation, (GFET:gulf ethanol corp com) announced today that it has delivered the purchase order and initial payment for the manufacture of its initial prototype bio-processing unit. This unit will be designed to preprocess cellulosic biomass into a very fine, dry powder ready for processing into ethanol. The unit is expected to be ready in about 60 days. "
So this news indicates that Gulf Ethanol has bought a machine to turn cellulosic biomass into a fine powder. Could this possibly be a purchase from FASC? VERY good news if this is a match. But I don't know who the competitors are now for refining crops for ethanol.
Interesting, well regardless of the distribution method, the company MUST file 10 days in advance of the dividend with the NASDAQ, and I don't think they've filed yet. I think they can still apply it to an old effective date if they want to, but must file 10 days before giving out anything.
So I see Captain posted this dividend info below:
"EFGO 1000/1 R/S FOR 1/1 OF TLGP & 1/1 OF MONA"
...Which related to what EFGO shareholders will receive after their R/S, they will get shares of TLGP and MONA.
But what will MONA shareholders receive? I don't see any dates listed in any PRs, regarding when the effective or record dates were/are. Any information made public yet?
I do see in a recent PR (snippet below) that MONA shareholders will receive some shares in TLGP, but don't know any details, or if it's too late to get in. Thanks.
On March 11 MONA PRd:
"I also wish to use this opportunity to update our shareholders on several other corporate matters. On the status of the Good Life China (TLGP) dividend our shareholders are to receive, we are told by the management of TLGP that they will be issuing this within days to us. Upon receipt, we will immediately forward the same to our shareholders via certified mail. We are also using the time to do some reconciliation accounting as it appears the previous management may have left us a sizable receivable that should benefit us and our shareholders equally."
So some of you think that Finnegan isn't really working with PNMS anymore, they just put that up falsely? Hmm that's a pretty strong accusation, you'd think Finn wouldn't stand for that and would be well informed of these matters.
Thanks for the link KS, hadn't seen this blog update yet.
"Director, Compliance Officer:
James E. Finnegan
Former CEO of PANAMERSA Corporation"
Soo... I guess that debunks all suspicions by our basher crowd that Finnegan quit "because he realized PNMS were all scammers", eh? He's still on board, that's good news.
Just browsing by and curious - how is asking for our passport numbers a "scam" in itself? I think you have to be making money off something for it to be a scam.
And what's the illegal part about asking for that information? It's my understanding you can ask for anything you want in America... They asked me for data and I gave it to them. They didn't get it illegally from me at least, but I'm sure there are some posts I missed inbetween.
This stock is looking good. Anyone know current share count from T/A, or know where the company stands on dilution? How's the water?
Petar is a criminal, no doubt about it. The whole company is the BIGGEST SCAM I've ever seen or participated in. Don't believe a word any of them say, they robbed investors blind and lied in PLENTY of PRs. If you invest now you deserve to lose everything! And PLEASE notice this is the ONLY stock on Ihub I EVER pick on... check my posts if you disbelieve, I get around alot and THIS IS A SCAM. They robbed me plenty good last year.
It's not about patience it's about the necessity for jail time, and selling US junk stocks from Canada as a protection layer. Even though Canada wouldn't let it's own citizens but into this crap, as of last year. Petard belongs in JAIL and I would pay money to see him go there. They lied so many times in so many blatant ways, anyone is a fool to believe them.
Enjoy the bounce, get the hell out, and don't believe anything the company might say.
It's about damn time! The SEC is scandalous for preventing this from "correcting itself" fairly on the market all this time. If a pinky does something horribly wrong they'll get frozen for 10 days, and there ya go shareholders, now you can all sell for 10% of your investment.
But if a Transfer Agent screws up big time and hoses shareholders - well that company must be PUNISHED! The stock that is, not the Transfer Agent.
Well if we open at .0001, GREAT, I'll average down like a maniac. Got some free cash and can't wait to see these fireworks! Anyone know the standing of the shorts/oversold TA? They will have to cover everything, won't they???

Combined we own (well) over half the float!
* - Pink sheets indicates the float is 25,000,000 but CEO indicated only 15,000,000 are free trading.
* - Pink sheets also indicates 79 shareholders. We have 25 between Ihub and HSM. So there should be 200% more shareholders out there that don't post. Hard to believe there are ANY real shares floating around out there.
Pre-emptive Counterpoint: To anyone about to say this share count isn't valid since originally posted - the volume over the past 10 days has been too low for it to change (since originally tallied on 2/29/2008)! These numbers are pretty close to accurate.
I can post an update, yes, but only 2 additional shareholders have indicated their position. I do NOT have cost/basis averages tracked, and will not be able to track that as work it getting intense for me w/overtime for a bit. But I'll be happy to keep track of the regular share count and will post the update tomorrow.
It would be helpful if anyone else holding shares can post, or message me privately if they want to remain anonymous.
Aweseome interview! thanks for being so thorough.
CS, you can't lift the restriction on your TPDI stock now. New CEO will block it. You need his permission to sell. The old CEO allowed it, I was in the process of lifting it, and new CEO blocked it. Must wait.
There are NO tax implications until you sell some of the shares. Your cost basis should be zero on the dividend/restricted shares.
You guys are being way too harsh on Balihi, just from reading the last 15 posts or so (I don't check in often). Looks like he's saying show me your DD and you're all calling him a 3rd grader for asking for proof.
He says he's relying on testimony from other posters, you laugh at him for listening to other posters. Why post/read here if it's a bad source of DD? Come on, be consistent.
There's no doubt that SSTY/TPDI have not made investors money yet, and people have a right to be dissapointed. The company is guilty of being overly optimistic in the past, no doubt. But that doesn't mean that TPDI/China isn't real, that the contracts and technology aren't real, just because they have failed in the past. This could go either way and I have no idea, but I have shares (of SSTY and TPDI) and also am hopeful the opportunities are real.
Great research, I had wondered what the deal was with that issue too, which took place before I became a shareholder.
Players and Haters, I have been asked via Pepsiman, via Pedro to post some new images of the plans for "ECOPark del Pacifico". As you can see, the new park is intended to be build on the west coast of Costa Rica.
Slideshow:
http://s256.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w256.photobucket.com/albums/hh176/PNMS_Photos/a93a2ed8.pbw
I have taken the liberty of pulling 8 of the first 20 pictures (out of a 60+ Powerpoint presentation I was given) into a brief slide show for your viewing. There is much more content not being released, including many slides with spanish text explaining the plans, which I could not understand. There will be more to follow.
Please note I cannot answer questions about the slides, I'm just posting them as a favor to Pepsiman, the whole package was just received last night. I can tell you they have invested quite a bit of time mapping out how to use the land, with multiple renderings of architectural designs.
I added the TV frame for fun last night - if you want to see an original picture in all seriousness, just click on it.
Hey, if you give me a buck I'll give you back 5 cents. Since you're into that sort of thing.
I'm still holding my XLPI shares but umm I think it's literally impossible for me to make a profit without averaging down. I hope XLPI does well but they sure did dissapoint, there's no reason for glowing optimism, tone it down!
Has anyone spoken with them recently to check for a pulse?
Ethanol/hydrogen are obviously going to become the ONLY way out of national recession with gas prices exploding, the time is almost (finally) here for profits to be made, and cars to be converted. Will XLPI be ready?
Looks pretty obvious the company is selling shares, but hopefully they'll take their hand off the trigger and let it breath soon. It may not show up with the T/A for a couple days is my guess, but there's no other explanation IMO.
Looks like a great acquisition though, can't complain about the Lumbar purchase. At least they're using the money being raised intelligently.
Hehe great chart - I can see your afflicted by the indecision riddling this stock. Jeckyl and hyde syndrome. There is one good thing about it - you'd have to be psycho to start shorting it at this point.
YES my letter from Carl was also rejected, but it's been 6 or 8 weeks since it happened. Wells Fargo sold all my stock - THEN called the company, had the letter rejected, and bought it all back (without telling me). Now I owe Wells Fargo over $5,000, according to those pea brains, cus they bought it back at poor prices. Joy to the world.
lol, ok I see - you're talking about the brokers certifying the share positions for the dividend. I never received mine - TD Ameritrade gave me 5 different speculative reasons, all they BS. The people answering the phones have no clue, were not informed why the request is denied for all shareholders. You're right it is abnormal.
But it very much implies they were SHORT. Other brokers signed it no problem, yup you owned these shares. TD Ameritrade actually lied about it, saying they provided the shareholder list to PNMS, which Mike and Theresa say was definitely never received. TD Ameritrade has also shorted other pinkies quite severely, so it's not out of character for them to get caught with a hand in the cookie jar.
Pulling certs is abnormal and brokers have no obligation to provide? Weird, I have quite a few paper certs and have never been denied. I've requested them on several occasions and my brokers never blinked. It's certainly not abnormal.
Yes I'm still here watchin' folks.

C'mon folks I know there's alot more unclaimed! I will also start a share count on HSM which is very active on AUCI and add both sets together. The numbers are only good for a week or so as people buy/sell, so the quicker people participate, the better snapshot we will have.
Hey guys just catching up after a nice lil' vacation. I see ALOT of people are coming out of the woodwork we haven't heard from before which is awesome - I think it's time for a share count. Oh also PM me any interesting tidbits!
AUCI Shareholder List: O/S 25,000,000, float 15,000,000 reported by company
Shamantiks - 400,000+
CJ - represents 4 to 5 million between himself and friends
(He will adjust - please add yourself and re-post!)
On other topics - Bell, yes I can confirm that when I first got in the company, the selling was obvious, and the company was forthright telling me that there WAS a big seller, I think someone who was previously an insider who left (maybe investor, they didn't give details but did admit there was a seller). This is probably the same person/group responsible for the pump back then (which I never saw, the flyer - is there a link online?). The company didn't pump any flyers out there themselves, and were REAL pissed off at the price drop. I believe this seller attracted MM's/shorts who pounced on the downward momentum and crushed the price from the .60's down to .01.
I think the CEO has a good track record in the 'short' history of AUCI and I had one long in depth conversation with him, causing me to grow my position from 100,000 to 400,000. He has also replied to the E-mails I sent. I started buying at .023 and have bought all the way down, and may even out my position at 500,000.
