WWEI being featured by HOT OTC.COM as their new big pick:
Watch List for Monday 12-1-2008
My new big pick is WWEI.
Last Monday the broader markets formed a hammer candlestick. This pattern is usually a bullish reversal pattern. Current market conditions are one of the most attractive seen in decades. I believe now is the time to put money to work.
I have no doubt that the next big industry to take off is the wind power industry. Just like how the solar industry took off 2 years ago with stocks like First Solar moving to over $300 a share!!!
WWEI is currently trading near a 52wk low which means the upside potential is very high. If WWEI was to test the high it made this past Summer the gains would be over 315% from the current levels!
WWEI is a pure wind power play with operations in China. China's consumption of energy and oil is among the top in the world.
I believe with WWEI's low price, and the growing demand for alternative energy puts WWEI in a very attractive position for investors looking for explosive growth.
The Global wind market is expected to grow by 155% from it's current size to reach 240 GW of total installed capacity by the year 2012! This will equal a total investment over the next four years of $277 BILLION!
China is the world's FASTEST growing market for Wind Energy! With an average annual growth rate of 56% for the past seven years, China's wind capacity is expected to reach 10 GW this year and 20 GW by 2010.
Even here at home, Obama has already said on tape that he wants to bankrupt the coal industry!

Is anybody concerned about the lack of liquidity with this stock? It looks like it will be awful tough to get into (and out of) any sizable position?
Watching for now...may take a dip in if the volume increases.

Courtesy of Traceman from Yahoo THPW Board:
The overall tone of the meeting was professional and upbeat about the future. Seth Grae did the bulk of the speaking along with assistance from Tom Graham, James Guerra, Erik Hallstrom, and Maria Mastroianni as needed. All expressed extreme confidence that this company was well on track to be a major player in this industry. Botom line, THPW is on target to leverage the emerging global Nuclear Energy trends.
Consulting; Seth explained in simple terms that countries and companies are now engaging THPW instead of the other way around. The driver is their independance as compared to infrastructure type companies such as Westinghouse, GE, Areva, etc. His example; car shopping and considering a BMW vs. Lexus, and expecting the Lexus dealer to recommend a BMW because it is the right thing for the customer. Emerging countries and other countries with no nuke experience have do idea on where to start, structure themselves, which technologies to employ, which companies would be the best for infrastructure build, how to obtain financing, building transparency to win global trust, etc. THPW is the only independant company in place to execute, the only existing company to do so on safety and non-prolific stance. They are known as the only entity that can be trusted. So, private companies see this and now know it is good for their interests if they maintain a relationship with THPW. Seth made a comment along the lines that "2 years ago, who would have thought that the serious interest would initiate in the Middle East countries"? The Thorium Independance Act is a sign where the US is concerned about lagging others with this important step forward.
Technology; Overall, the Russian testing is on schedule and everything looks excellent. The post-irradation examination is going well at this point. He noted that Russia made a change to their VVER-1000 fuel approach, changing it from a 12 month cycle to 18 months. Therefore, current testing steps had to be altered to accomodate this change. Reminder, THPW is aiming at fueling VVER reactors 1st and they want to make sure their initial fuel deployment matches the same 18 month cycle. This is causing a slight delay to the current testing schedule in Russia, but no impact on the overall schedule. Slide 19 shows the schedule and when we plan to recognize technology royalties (2010-2012 timeframe). The THPW technical team has now initiated development work on deploying the technology within the AP-1000 (Westinghouse) and and EPR (Areva) reactors. Again, the Thorium Energy Independance Act opens the door for testing in our country and, again, THPW is ahead of that curve.
India; expect to hear about landing some contracts soon. I think he said by year-end, but not sure if I heard that correctly. He did say that THPW has been all over India for years, so all of the work has been done and THPW is just waiting to close deal(s). Also, the concern over the work that India has done with their thorium technology is not well founded. Their technology is complex (3 stage reactor) and produces lots of plutonium. Seth said that there is no global interest due to the complexity, cost, and proliferation concerns. This is a government founded program and we may see it used in India if at all.
Reverse split; right now the expectation is that it will happen in the 1st quarter. Seth is sensitive to concerns in this area, but he and the team is confident it must happen. He said "there is now way that we should be a penny stock at this point in time." The company is aware of institutions that want to invest and can't do so until they get on the NASDAQ.
Consulting/Advisory Service margins are at approximately 60%. The team actually thinks they can maintain this type of performace if they carefully execute timing between revenue and development expenses.
Potential; Slide 9 shows anticipated global reactor trends. The green is expected growth. Compare the green to the geen in slide 19. Then compare these 2 to the green in slide 21 to get an idea of the revenue potetntuials.
Name change; They are serious about this. A negative driver is the India government funded reactor I meantioned earler. They don't want external people to be confised about the 2 thorium technologies. The rest is obvious because the companies business plan involves more than technology. The investors that attended the meeting received a nice cross pen with the name "Lightbridge" on it. I have a pen!!!
Meeting Summary as posted by Traceman on Yahoo and re-posted here by Murocman
Been in or following this stock since Spring 07. The reason the stock price is not responding positively, is that there isn't and hasn't been anything more than promises and promissary notes up to this point. Until this company actually demonstrates that it can close a deal and generate some revenue, I think you will see more of the same with regards to the stock price.
GLTU,
Murocman
Near-Term Driver will be Potential India Consulting Deal.
The bill introduced by Senators Hatch and Reid has been referred to the Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee. No hearing on this bill is currently scheduled on the committe calendar. The earliest this would get heard is after the election. If Congress does not come back into session, until after the New Year, we're probably looking at early Spring before this has any chance of making it onto the Floor for a vote.
That said, there looks to be a lot of potential for the company to do a deal with India very shortly after the '123' agreement is signed this weekend. This will be a new source of revenue and maybe add some priority to the bill above, given the Indian's interest in Thorium Power.
If we do get a deal with India, I'd expect to see this stock somewhere between $0.50-1.00.
Thoughts?

Email from TTEG
I got an email from the company stating that CEO was returning from Asia today, and that his first day back in the office would be tomorrow. Maybe we'll see something next week?
Murocman
Just saw 25,000x$0.085 - 25,000x$0.09 on ETrade
Good news, but still all promises. This company needs to put out something that has a concrete timeline as to when revenues will start coming in.
Murocman
If he sends an email out before the market close, you can count on news after hours or before the market open. It seems to be his way of telegraphing that something os about to happen.
GLTA,
Murocman
Might have been MM's trading shares?
No after hours trades allowed on pinkies.
How do you know the 'miletsone' wasn't the financing deal that was PR'ed today? The previous PR said that they would release news by 30 Sep, not on 30 Sep. This may have been it?
Murocman
U.S. House approves India Nuclear Power Deal
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/28/us.india/index.html?section=cnn_latest
Maybe a catalyst for higher prices?
GLTA,
Murocman
It will be interesting to see who they met with? There are some 45-odd auto and 34 distinct truck manufacturers located in China. I'm thinking we'll probably get some kind of update this week.
GLTA,
Murocman
Today's action was a good sign. The longer this continues without news, the better IMO. It is the makret's way of saying that good things are about to happen and this stock is the place to be. I expect we'll hear something by the end of the week, unless this was an extended business trip.
GLTA,
Murocman
CEO Trip Update This Week?
We should get an update on the CEO's trip to China this week. While I'm not expecting any miraculous buyout offers or multi-million dollar, volume unit orders, I would not at all be surprised to see some type of licensing deal or order to put one, or even a few, of these engines in a real vehicle and test it out. If they do nothing more than come up with a production manufacturing partner, the would be huge IMO.
We shall see...GLTA,
Murocman
I hope so...I took a position today in anticipation of news rearding the trip next week!
GLTA,
Murocman
Does anybody happen to know what the magnitude of the dilution is that's happening here? I'm preparing to go through the SEC document (Q's & K's) but was wondering if anyone had already done the DD to see ho many shares are being diluted here?
TIA,
Murocman
Excellent conference call today. I'd urge everyone to take a listen. RocketStream could be a huge game changer for this company. When you throw in the aviation broadband potential, this company could prove to be a VERY lucrative investment. You can access the call at Voyant's website:

GLTA,
Murocman
So any idea when the (Solomon) article was actually published?
Tks,
Murocman
Nice...it looks like it's from 2006 based on the copyright info at the bottom of the page. They've obviously found some adoption in the marine world with the Singapore Water Taxi fleet. I wonder if they are getting any traction in the sailing world?
Murocman
yeah...I'm sure they've got a whole cadre of folks shorting a $0.02 stock....get real.
Here you go:
http://www.otcpicks.com/trading-tips.htm
And here is the applicable text:
The stocks which trade on the OTC Bulletin Board are generally not marginable. This has two advantages to the individual investor- you cannot over leverage your account, and individual investors cannot short the stocks, which helps alleviate selling pressure.
Murocman
Isn't the next payment due on Monday?
Murocman
I think you're right based on the follwing from Robb Bragg's email:
Once again, as I did on September 3rd, I believe after today Welwind has a very strong possibility of higher prices.
I think he's telegraphing that there will be news on Monday. Sep4th was when the JV PPA was announced.
We shall see.
GLTA,
Murocman
Go RE-READ my post. I said the settlement would depend on share price IF it was out of court. Toyota is not going to pay SOLM $100-200M out of the kindness of their hearts! And no, I'm not an employee, and last time I checked you can't short BB stocks.
I'm a recent long that was hoping for some pop on this lawsuit. However, it looks like it will drag on for some time, and it's probably in SOLM's best interest to take it to trial assuming they can bear the legal costs of doing so.
GLTU,
Murocman
It depends on how this gets resolved. If this were to go to trial, I agree with you. The court will not determine their award based on market cap/share price. However, when it comes to a settlement, that would definitely be part of the equation as far as Toyota is concerned. I could see them paying Solomon 10-20 times current market cap in a settlement, but not 100-200 times without being compelled by a court.
It all depends on how eager Solomon is to resolve this issue. A settlement might give them some quick cash, but would discount the value of their technology. A court settlement would more likely give them more money, but will take a lot longer and there is always the risk they lose.
Murocman
Thanks! I wasn't aware. I have a neighbor who is an adjustor, but she is salaried and employed by the insurance company she works for.
I just don't see anyone paying 132 times the current share price in either a settlement or a buyout. The problem is that the company is not in a strong position when negotiating a settlement due to the current share price. On the plus side, it appears they have a good and growing business independent of a settlement so that helps some.
While I would absolutely love to see the types of numbers you're talking about, I just don't see that in the cards anytime in the near future. I hope I'm wrong.
GLTA,
Murocman
How is that an insurance adjuster would be happy about having to pay claims from a disaster? This is not how insurance companies make money! Quite the opposite, their profit is never having to pay a claim!
This hasn't gotten higher than $0.059 all year. There will be a whole lot of resistance at that level. Thinking of taking my profits at $0.05...Bulls make money...Bears make money...Pigs get slaughtered.
GLTA,
Murocman
Do you have a link? I don't see this as a bad thing, although it would have been nice to have some sort of upward catalyst for the stock price.
What do you think of the possibility of Toyota buying Solomon as a settlement? It seems like there are enough positives with the company that this would be an attractive option. A $0.10-0.12 share price would be chump change for Toyota and offer a nice premium from current prices!
Murocman
Anybody think we'll see $0.05 tomorrow?
Murocman
Anybody know what company this is?:
Their 2008 Q2 revenue was more than three times that of 2007's Q2 revenue.
In the last couple of months, the company has signed contracts worth more than Q2's (2008) total revenue.
Those recent contracts are only about 5% of the orders they already have, and are waiting to fill.
The kind of business they're in is close to being mandated by the government.
Their product saves companies money, and helps save the environment too.
It requires four times as much energy to generate one unit of GNP (gross national product) in China than it does in the U.S.
The electricity distribution system in China is struggling to meet the demand. Temporary electric power shortages are becoming common, which is a particular problem for a country still growing its industrial machine.
China meets 2/3 of its energy needs by burning coal, which is one of the dirtiest fossil fuels. Acid rain caused by SO2 pollution has affected 1/3 of China's farmland. Some soil can't be farmed any longer.
China's government has vowed to shut down inefficient factories in high-pollution industries, which are primarily electricity, coal, and steel.
Clearly those are problems that can't be left alone. Wouldn't be interesting if a company could tackle those problems head on with a real solution? Hmmmm.
The SmallCapNetwork is highlighting/profiling/pumping the above company and will release a profile on Friday after the market close. It has piqued my interest. I've been 'Googling' but haven'thad any luck. Any thoughts appreciated. SmallCapNetwork can be found at the following link:

Interesting, although it seems like this PR is just a repeat of the last PRNewswire story.
Like I said before, seems like lots of good things going on here business-wise. No if can just get the stock to follow suit!?
GLTA,
Murocman
Read today that India Nuclear Deal approved.
Not sure if this will be any kind of catalyst for the stock. The article I read (AP story, I think) talked eclusively about conventional nuclear power.
That said, doesn't India have a lot of Thorium and I think I read previously that they were very interested in Thorium technology.
Thoughts anyone?

I believe this is the DoD program Solomon is supporting:
U.S. Army Successfully Launches Non Line-of-Sight-Launch System Precision Attack Missile
Jul 17 10:11 AM US/Eastern
Write a Comment
WARREN, Mich., July 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S Army announced that it has recently completed two successful tests of Non Line-of-Sight-Launch System's (NLOS-LS) Precision Attack Missile at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. As part of the Army's effort to provide Future Combat System (FCS) technologies to its Infantry Brigade Combat Teams, the NLOS-LS will provide Infantry Soldiers with a rapidly deployable and network linked long range precision fires delivery system. Currently, Infantry and Special Operations Forces do not have precision fires capability without augmentation from artillery or air support.
The NLOS-LS, consists of a containerized launch unit with self-contained tactical fire control electronics and software for remote and unmanned operations. Each launch unit houses 15 Precision Attack Missiles. The NLOS-LS's Precision Attack Missile is a vertical launched munition capable of engaging moving targets using automatic target acquisition. The missile receives target information prior to launch, and can receive and respond to target location updates during flight. The missiles are capable of transmitting near-real-time information in the form of target imagery prior to impact.
The NLOS-LS has been under evaluation by Soldiers of the Army's Evaluation Task Force since early 2008. Located at Ft. Bliss, TX, the Army Evaluation Task Force tests and evaluates FCS equipment. Today, these Soldiers are helping to develop/validate doctrine, organization and training for the NLOS-LS's use by Infantry Soldiers.
In early July, the successful launches proved the NLOS-LS's Precision Attack Missile's stability in cruise and guidance modes and its ability to operate as a node on the network using its onboard radio. According to LTC Fred Hughes, Army NLOS-LS Assistant Product Manager, "The test marked the first time an Army missile with an on-board radio transmitted both missile status while in flight and a preloaded, simulated target image just prior to impact."
Additionally, the missile proved that it can, just prior to impact, transmit a target image through the Single Channel Radio Set radio. This gives the Commander the ability to visually ensure that the correct target was attacked. Initial reviews of the video and telemetry data show that all test primary and secondary system objectives were met. The missile flew an estimated 23 kilometers and performed several critical g-maneuvers up to 6g's.
Successful completion of this launch moves NLOS-LS closer to complete system testing which is scheduled to take place in 3rd Quarter FY09.
NLOS-LS will play an integral role in the FCS Spin Out 1 Limited User Test (LUT) planned for next summer. The LUT will support a production decision allowing NLOS-LS and the other FCS systems to field to an Infantry Brigade Combat Team in 2011. Additionally, the NLOS-LS will be used by the U.S. Navy on its Littoral Combat Ship to provide a modular, persistent, responsive, networked, rapidly deployable and flexible precision strike capability against naval targets.
The U.S. Army Future Combat Systems Program is the cornerstone to Army modernization efforts.
Price Projections?
This peaked at $.059 as Gustav made landfall. Does anybody see it getting beyond that this time around?
I'm in at $0.03...thinking of selling half if it hits 0.05 prior to landfall, and then maybe looking to exit the other half in the $0.06-.08 range as the storm comes ashore.
Thoughts anyone?
GLTA,
Murocman
Yes...if only it were at that price! I's probably be taking some nice profits off the table. Hopefully someday soon it will be a reality.
Murocman
Last post with typos fixed:
We should see a response from Toyota within the next week based on the ruling re-opening the patent infringement case (15 days to respond from 27 Aug).
There seems to be a lot of good things happening with this company. I can't believe it's only at $0.016 per share. This is a great time to accumulate IMO. It wouldn't surprise me to see this stock in the $0.10-20 range in the next six months if business continues to grow (and that's not including any possible spikes based on success against Toyota).
GLTA,
Murocman
