I'm digging around on the NASD website, but haven't found any related info yet. All help is appreciated...(hint to board, thanks).
Lil Jazz...
...per your second thought (and all possibilities should be investigated), couldn't we assume that if Alcar was dropped from the list merely due to lack of TA...the same would be true of other former Select clients that are still on the Reg SHO? Case in point...AURC.
The inference I would make is that "Fails to Deliver" must be covered. We should check to see what auditing mechanism is used by the SRO in compiling the daily list.
Ah yes...sparkling blue waters and shimmering white sand...oh, and don't forget the endless supply of ice cold beers...lol.
Sounds like our "strategery" is quite similar. We rode this tattered clipper through many a storm and now land may be on our horizon. Why jump in the ocean now?
Being off the Reg SHO simply tells me that there are not currently any "Fails to Deliver". Therefore, if there was ever a NSS problem it has now been resolved in some manner. ...and that my friend is a nice feeling!
Here's to better days ahead!
Why thank you my friend...
I would have no problem with doing just that! However, I am certain our MysteryMate would be the best person for the job. She has an irresistible voice and charm that might be the perfect catalyst to offering up some clues.
I think she is doing out calls today. Do you still have all the contact info to send to my or her email address?
I'll make sure she has it tonight.
I noticed the same...especially after removal from Reg SHO listing...
Perhaps everyone is contemplating their "strategery"...lol.
Good eye iseem...
If Alcar is able to follow through with ARTL, Inc. expansion plans, our little co will be poised to obtain a nice market share at a critical time for this infant industry. From website Q/A:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
What are your expansion plans?
Our main philosophy remains that implementing several conversion facilities based on local availability of biomass, rather than transporting gigantic volumes of biomass towards an oversized facility, is the most effective and environmentally friendly solution.
We are presently revising the initial plan and will prioritize licensing across North America and offer small scale reactor systems (fitting entirely on a 40 foot flat-bed) to farming organizations and allow small scale ethanol production form non-food crop and crop waste. We will not target producers using food crop as this is, in our opinion, a complete non-sense.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I know everyone here has most likely read the Q/A many times; however, I find it a good exercise to review periodically...lest we forget why we bought our Alcar position in the first place.
Best to All Longs!
Very Low Coach! Buyers (presuming there are some) would take one look at the L2 today and know how fast they could run this up! I think if anyone is buying, they will sit on the bid and wait for more sellers to line up before they begin testing upper resistance.
Thanks for not dumping the entire load on us here Chuck. Looks like your other interest is @ 30 day low and still testing lower support. Good luck to you! Hope you eventually come out ahead!
In posting here today, I'm reminded what a "klick" this board is. Good luck to all here...I've been watching this co for about 2 years now. It's nice to see progress; albeit slow, full production appears to be forthcoming. ...and per discussion about sales disclosure; remember, timing for information release is important for pps stability. As everyone here knows, this always retraces to < .02 after each run!
Cheers!
Hello All...
...haven't posted over here in a long-time. I'm a former shareholder waiting and watching for a new entry point. Looks like today's the day! Potentially a tremendous buying opportunity here at this level.
Cheers!
well then...I guess I'll just talk to myself.
It appears that anyone interested in picking up a few shares today would need to be very cautious and patient, waiting for capitulation at the bid. Otherwise, any buying pressure on the ask would return this > .02 in a hurry!
I'd love to test this theory today...but can't buy 'till Thurs. or Fri.
Anyone who has "real-time" L2...
...are you seeing the same thing I am on the delayed?:
Bid .013 (25,000) X Ask .014 (5,000).
Looks pretty thin on the Ask side at every level!
Hmmmm?
Good Morning Team...
I'm surprised there is not more discussion regarding the absence of ACMG from the Regulation SHO listing today! This may be a significant clue in our conundrum here...? Does anyone know where the SRO obtains the information to compile the daily list? DTC? Does the TA have an active role in this reporting?
Anyone talk to their broker this morning regarding TA? Scottrade was no help...Oh...well, they did offer to look at pinksheets.com for me (roll eyes!).
I would love to see dialog here from anyone more experienced with this facet of the process. ...and thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Sorry so late to review and post. Thank you for all your efforts to compile and complete this letter. It looks good! I would only make one minor addition to ward off any potential inferences. At this late hour, you may or may not choose to amend. In any case, here is my suggestion.
In paragraph 2, I would change "we remain completely ignorant as to the current status of Alcar Chemical Group and our investments" to... "we remain completely ignorant as to the current status of Alcar Chemical Group and our investment in said entity"
Once again, thank you for your efforts here to voice our collective concerns to Dr. Cavasin.
Have a great night!
Agreed! Once shares change hands from all the short-term players to the long-term (> 1 year). We will get our price stability back. Glad your here to rally the team Coach!
Glad to see you posting here with some calm resolve! We can only speculate as to motives...But, IMO...When the company feels like all "traders" have been extinguished, they will begin releasing developments. However, only solid, verifiable developments will be released when (and only when) available.
...an yes the dissolution may be part of the plan. Time will reveal and we need to give them time!
Hey win...
...what do you hope to incite with this goofy post? I could probably search for "your" name and the word "death" and get resulting search page references from the query.
Good for a sadistic giggle and nothing else!
Yes, and it appears that the MMs line up each day hoping for such an event.
I see...TSXT in bottoming cycle... Planning to load up there to recoup losses??? If this is the case, it's a very risky move; but everyone has their own investment strategies.
All the best to ya!
Will all due respect Chuck... Who in their right mind would announce this prior to execution?
To All:
I'll keep this brief as my time is very limited this morning. I would like to ask each one of you here engaged in this discussion about lining an attorney's pockets with some type of legal action, do you really think this co will will simply disappear and not continue as a going concern? IMO...there is way to much money to be made here on both fronts: public money from sales of acquired float, ...and after build up...contract fulfillment/licensure revenue.
Patience my friends makes millionaires in this market.
Now go ahead and type up you're hostile comments and cite your examples to negate my optimism...I'll answer as time allows.
Have a great day all!
Thanks profit! I'll take a look at it again. I believe it was chuck that mentioned an inquiry as to the status of the spin-off co. I wouldn't change or add much. Brevity always garners an improved response!
Also, I apologize for my brief response. Very busy day for me; ...but I will take time to look this over again this afternoon or tonight.
Once again, thank you for your efforts!
I do not agree with making any "threats" on or after July 27. But yes, I would support the original version perhaps with minor "non-hostile" changes. Thank you to_profit for your efforts.
Evgeny's words are obviously from a man who doesn't think Alex can pull it off without him. Emotions are rampant in Evgeny's communications; therefore, we should consider this angle when analyzing his commentary.
nicely written profit! Concise, to the point, and non-threatening. A respectful query is more likely to garner a response. Conversely, given the length of time we've endured without update, there is obviously an undisclosed reason for the silence. ...and I'd be surprised if any of us receive a response in the near future. However, we should let him know that we are still here waiting patiently for progress updates. Perhaps requesting a simple "letter to shareholders" on the website would be a nice addition to your draft.
I am not in agreement with any talk of legal action at this juncture. My "patience time line" is significantly different than many of my fellow shareholders. Therefore, I'm pleased that your draft did not include threatening language.
Nice Job!
Good Morning MrBig...
Yes, I included Mystery's shares in my "friends and family" post after she told me privately that she was done with the board. As far as I know, that total has not changed.
...and I'm glad she changed her mind and came back to us!
Have a great vacation!
Thank you Caterina and "Yes" my beautiful wife tells me that quite often. I am quite a blessed man!
No...you are not the only one with calm, patient resolve regarding your position. We may be idgits?? ...or conversely be proven long-term "pretty smart dreamers"...(happy thoughts from a fellow kook...lol!).
How about Boston's "More than a Feelin'" as our theme song? Seems appropriate given our current situation?
By the way, I always love seeing you post! We are like minds in many ways. And you too my dear are a sweetheart!
caterina...
Sorry I missed your post overnight. In many respects, we look at this situation in a similar manner. Here's a few points that keep me patient and optimistic:
1) the research I initially performed in making my decision to buy a modest position in Alcar.
2) the potential here vs. downside
3) Dr. Cavasin's words especially in the last few PRs. It is my opinion that Alex said all he was able to before his hands were tied (as you stated). He tried to reassure us before he had to disappear. I go back and re-read the last few PRs from time to time to strengthen my resolve.
A few here disagree with my optimism. However, no one has given me a solid reason to change my mind.
Good Luck to Everyone!
Anyone want to clean out NITE and send him running up the hill? I would, but have to wait 'til next week to buy any more. Wouldn't mind seeing this finish the week @ .02. Hey...it could happen!?
I am so inspired! So glad you came back to the board...calm words of patience and resolve is exactly what is needed here...IMO!
Thanks for your thoughts! And I second qaz's nomination for chairperson!
I appreciate your thoughts here this morning! And yes I can see a shareholder meeting (either formal or informal) in our future. We'll see what develops!
Have a great weekend!
now that is clever! And I'm always ready...
there it went! someone found the end of the .0175 pile... Glad to see someone is confident enough to pick up a few today!
Sure quiet here...feel like I'm talking to myself in the woods...lol.
Cheers!
Mornin' All...
...way to hold them shares longs! Looks like some slow cautious buying going on this morning. Buyers are careful not to knock UBSS off that .0175 ask.
Conclusions is right! That's why I couldn't let Pete's statement go without evidence:
"The broker wouldn't give me the answers I wanted to hear, beating around the bush, but it looks like the stock will have trading suspended the end of next week, or week after. JMO"
What is he basing his time line on?
Bid now chasing the ask a bit... back to .02 we go hopefully! Longs may have won this round! No doubt they (MMs, mystery-buyer) will try to bring this thing down again on 5k blocks. Fortunately, this tactic to induce selling didn't work this time. Hold 'em tight Alcar longs!!!
yes... and that comment was based on a "hypothetical" past or in progress investigation and the speed by which the SEC halted another pink before investigation was completed...i.e. CKYS!
Merry...
We both agree that there is no evidence of any past, current, or future investigations of Alcar by SEC. How about we agree to disagree regarding any pending halt?
In response to... "There is no evidence there is any investigation, nor is there any evidence that if there is one it has been concluded yet ..."
Where did I ever imply that there had been? This discussion started based on an obvious assumption on Pete's part regarding a pending "halt"; where he went as far as giving dates. Any reference I made to an investigation was purely hypothetical!
I respectfully disagree with both of you. If a halt was going to happen it would have already happened (IMO). Look how fast the SEC halted CKYS. The big dump that drove this to .007 happened due to fear of looming "halt" as a result of no TA which has never happened!
If the SEC had found any evidence of foul play here they would have immediately halted and completed investigation. That did not happen!
