You're absolutely right!

"Oulin will coordinate...developing relations with local and foreign partners of Alrosa."

Ok. So, IF GBDX is a partner of Alrosa, then Oulin will coordinate the development of relations with GBDX.

How does this become news worthy of posting?

Yup!

Prost---verstampf !!! Dell had some terrific websites!

ghncj,

I heard that they were working with someone who used to be the IT person at Dell, but who now has her own company. I may be wrong, though.

Rocket---Market Makers

Twin, go to the ISBL board on Raging Bull and look at message number 1920 (If I remember correctly). It's a posting.

My USAA guy called to inform me that the one-for-one dividends (restricted shares) have been located and are in my account.

Now, for the next batch...

Too cerebral for me.

You're probably right. However, with the morass (not to be confused with "moass") that this company has become, why would any innocent bagholder want to get involved? I, for one, know far too little about the company and the principals to become some sort of outside insider.

Seems to me that Don could just release regular updates or have confernce calls if he's of a mind to keep us informed. Why should there be a committee at all?

Great! Please let us all know what you find out.

I am very disappointed in this one, too. I try to keep it in perspective, though. My perspective is that investing in penny stocks is a crap shoot with the odds in the house's favor. You try to even the odds a bit by doing as much due diligence as you can, and then you roll the dice, cross your fingers and hope that Lady Luck is on your side this time.

We take the greater risk with the hope of the possibly incredible rewards. Kinda like continuing to buy lottery tickets---few are winners, but if you're not in, you have no hope of winning. I still cling to the forlorn hope that we'll all be winners on this one (Except the shorts, o' course!).

MoneyMaker,

I'm nobody special to Don. I just sent him a couple of emails regarding the divies and he responded. I am, of course, dismayed by the stock price, but right now I want to try to nail down the dividends.

I don't want to wear out my welcome, so why don't you email him with your questions? He'll probably respond to you, too. I wouldn't mind hearing his answers to those.

His email address: Donplatten17@aol.com

I don't know. I also sent a check in June, but it has not yet been cashed. They might have lost it. I'll find out after my broker gets back to me whether I'm entitled to divies despite the fact that my check hasn't been cashed. I'll post and let you know.

I put that phrase in quotation marks because I was not able to pin the agent down more specifically. That's exactly what she said. She seemed not to have information at her fingertips and had to keep checking on things before answering my questions. Maybe calls to her by other investors will garner more information.

FOLLOWUP EMAIL FROM DON

EMAIL:

Don,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I asked because there was a message board posting a while back indicating that they were about to be issued. Were they sent to the transfer agent? Can you give me a contact number or email address for the person to whom they were sent? I could then contact that person directly.

Thanks.

RESPONSE:
469-633-0101 Securities Transfer Agent give them a Call.......................Donnie

END OF RESPONSE

I called the Transfer Agent this morning. Spoke to Rosaria Sanchez who told me the following: On 19 September, they got the go ahead from the company to print the certificates for "the first HVLN dividend." She said that this was done, and the certs were sent to the DTC in NY. They have not gotten the go ahead on any other dividends. She said that if your stock is held by your broker, it is up to the broker to get the dividends from the DTC. If the stock is issued in the owner's name, then she is able to pull your info up on her computer and will, presumably, be able to tell you what's what.

My stock is held by my broker (USAA), so I called them. They haven't gotten any information from the DTC, yet, on any dividends. Apparently, from the 19th to today is not an inordinately long time for them to get notification on a penny stock. Nevertheless, they will research the issue and get back to me in about two business days.

I'll post new info when I get it from them.

Nor have I. I'm going to ask him exactly where they were sent. They certainly have not been sent to my account. I'll post his response if I get one.

Email and response to Don today:

Email: WHEN WILL WE GET THE DIVIDENDS?

Response: They went out 3 weeks ago

Also, Taki---what are the short numbers?

Still holding---even added more before Oct '06.

Hello,

I know you have all been waiting patiently for the dividends. They are with
the transfer agent, which is doing the verifications also. They are working
this matter as efficiently as possible. Thank you for your patience. As
you know we have made some great progresses in the past few weeks. And we
appreciate your continued support.

That clears up everything. Thanks.

Who emailed you, and what does "shortly" mean?

I just sent an email and it came back undeliverable. Are you sure the email address is correct?

See post number 77947.

Ham mussy, Chillin'!

Someone just sold $6.59's worth of stock to take the price down 75% for the day.

I, too, sent email right after the PR came out. Sent a followup, "Wassup?", email today. No answer yet.

Lotta lurking; little posting; holding 'til the end!

Menny,

You're welcome! Good luck to us all!!!

No. Seven buys, two of which were large: 500,000 and 475,000. The others ranged from 4,000 to 50,000. Total shares of 1,100,000 value at .0018 is only $1,980.00.

Still waiting...

Jig,

I'll keep you posted. If I get mine back, you should get yours back, too.

Happy trading!

Jig,

Same thing happened to me with Schwab. Talked to a rep Friday who said that they would try to repurchase the shares and return them to my account. He said it might take a couple of weeks. He didn't say anything about a bankruptcy or a new company.

We'll see.

Ooops!

Just checked my attempted USAA trade. "Open" was replaced with "Cancel Requested." Since I didn't request the change, I guess USAA is not accepting my order, after all.

USAA Brokerage

I placed an order to sell 1000 shares at 2.00. The order was accepted with the following notation: "A quote for the requested security is currently unavailable. USAA has received your order. Please use reference number xxxxxxxxxxx for future inquiries about this trade."

Would be great if that turned out to be the opening price!

I lucked out on PAIV, and I think this just might be another one!
