roger that----I don't have the time to look for it now, but Bright Foods was created in 2006 and their stated goal was to be a multinational company buy 2015. With the Bright buyout of GNC, I have to lean toward them being involved with NTRZ's nutra/pharma. And remember that Herbal Science had JV's with Bright, NTRZ and NewChapter. Maybe Bright is buying the whole chibang. What ever it is, I sure hope we find out soon.

One part of my "Intrigue" post was just shot down. NTRZ now has RiSolubles in stock and a deal for $10 off for 1 Risolubles and 1 RiProSport is back up on the online store. It looks like RicePlex has Soluble product back in stock as well.

Great Xmas gifts and stocking stuffers. I keep posting this because the best advertising is word of mouth and the more NTRZ sells, the higher my stock will go. Help you own stock with SRB Xmas gifts.

We had a deal for an oil plant with Bright, but we can't afford it. I heard from a reliable source that Short, Henk, and Kody were on a two week trip just before Easter and were at the Philippines, Shanghai, and Jakarta. Shanghai could have been about oil or nutra/pharma or both. But, when Henk Hoogankamp is there, it is about oil, because his specialty is the meat filler made from DFRN. Fact is that we have only heard about one product deal until the Irgovel Deal this month in the past 2+ years, and that was the ALKO drink and the owner of that Danish company is a friend of Henks, and it uses very little Z product anyway. I I hear is rumors and find hints from other PR's. So, I really have no idea what will happen, but some things sure point to Bright Foods.
http://www.funpeak.com/funnypics/stormtroopers-santa-claus.jpg
The intrigue is adding up to a great climax
1. Herbal Science blanks their home page and partners page about the same time as Bright Foods starts a joint venture with GNC last February and they are still blank.
http://www.franchising.com/pressreleases/14557/
2. Now at the same time Bright Foods is stepping it up and buying GNC at the same time NTRZ is canceling a JV with Herbal Science and HS is overly accommodating in settling for half of what we owe them, as though something else is going to happen.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-12-06/china-s-bright-food-may-buy-vitamin-retailer-gnc-for-3-billion-wsj-says.html?cmpid=msnmoney
3. NTRZ is out of it's best product RiSolubles and they make it themselves. RicePlex, a Z customer, has been out of Solubles for at least 2 months. Could this product be going to have a new name on it, such as Bright Foods or a change in the product? Will all of NTRZ's products be sold in GNC stores?
4. We have NTRZ putting out a PR about a partnership in Irgovel with out naming the partner.
5. We have a judge who approves the Irgovel deal and the name of the partner is left off. Obviously the company has special confidential treatment and NTRZ has filed some CT orders this year.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=57493865
So, WTF is going on??? It is possible that this is all connected. NTRZ will have patents in hand and still may be using Herbal Science, but a nutra/pharma/stage 2 partner may want the patents in their hands? Could Bright Foods be a big general partner for NTRZ or even buy Z out? I believe it is possible.
It is also possible that the nutra/pharma/stage 2 is not even connected to the Irgovel deal. But, the Irgovel deal partner might be going to be even more involved with oil.
Or maybe gnus is right an nothing major is going to happen and NTRZ will struggle to survive? Maybe all this secrecy is just a mirage and is not really happening and it exists only in my mind?
Let's hope we find out soon.

Jim Rogers still bullish on commodities>>>
Reuters) - U.S. government inflation data is "a sham" and is causing the Federal Reserve to vastly understate price pressures in the economy, influential U.S. investor Jim Rogers said on Tuesday.
The U.S. central bank uses inflation data that relies too heavily on housing prices, Rogers told the Reuters 2011 Investment Outlook Summit, and he criticized the Fed's $600 billion bond-buying program.
Rogers, who rose to prominence after co-founding the now defunct Quantum Fund with billionaire investor George Soros some four decades ago, said he was betting against U.S. Treasuries. "I expect interest rates in the U.S. to go much, much, much higher over the next few years," he said.
The core personal consumption expenditure index, which removes food and energy costs, is the Fed's favored measure of inflation and was flat in October for the second straight month.
"Everybody in this room knows prices are going up for everything," Rogers told the Reuters Summit.
The Fed began its $600 billion bond buying program last month, its second round of quantitative easing, to boost a sluggish U.S. economy, citing excessively low inflation and high unemployment.
The Fed has held short-term rates near zero since late 2008, and the 10-year Treasury yield hit 3.18 percent on Tuesday, its highest since July.
STILL BULLISH ON COMMODITIES
On commodities, Rogers said he remains bullish in general, particularly given loose monetary policies and high debt levels in the United States and other Western economies.
"If the world economy gets better, commodities are going to go up in price because there are shortages. If the world economy does not get better, you should own commodities, because (central banks) are going to print more money," he said. "Real assets are the way to protect yourself.
Rogers also said the price of gold will rise eventually above $2,000 an ounce. The price of spot gold on Tuesday hit a record high of $1,430.95 an ounce before falling back to close at $1,409.35.
YUAN ATTRACTIVE, EURO'S DAYS MAY BE NUMBERED
Among currencies, Rogers said the Chinese yuan is the most attractive, and, when pressed, forecast that Beijing would probably allow full convertibility by 2013.
Though China manages the value of its currency, it began letting it rise more rapidly against the dollar this year. The dollar is down 2.7 percent against the yuan so far this year, after barely budging in 2009.
Rogers called the European Union's 85 billion euro bailout for Ireland bad morally and "bad economics," and said the mishandling of Europe's debt crisis could spell the eventual end of the common currency,
"They are corroding the value of the euro, and they are corroding the value of the European community," he said. "I don't expect the euro to be around within 10 to 15 years because they keep doing things like this and destroying the value of the euro."
Portugal and Spain could be the next countries to require assistance, he said. "The way we are going right now, we are all going to be bailed out, which is not going to make the system better."
High debt levels in the United States and Britain will also spell trouble for the dollar and British pound in the years ahead, Rogers added.
He said U.S. efforts to bail out its own troubled banks after the financial crisis and the subsequent rise in public debt may mean "we are going to have another lost decade or two."
More on the Bright Foods/GNC possible merger and details of a previous JV deal>>>
http://www.naturalproductsmarketplace.com/news/2010/02/gnc-partners-with-bright-food.aspx
This was not found by anybody last February, but a JV was first planned, but now has changed into a total buyout of GNC by Bright Foods. Bright must have had success with the trial sales.
Why this could be big for NTRZ is that GNC sells a lot of canister products based on soy protein. The Chines like rice and NTRZ's canisters should really sell there.
Also note that Short did mention in a PR last summer that LA # 2, the stage 1 plant in lake Charles that is not operating may start up before we exit BK. That did not happen, but it might be tied to the Bright GN deal. A lot of stage 1 is needed to make the stage 2 products for such a deal.
http://www.lipkie.com/humor/2006/061220_009.jpg
EZmoney--something big is going on and many of the dots may connect. Have you every seen a court ruling come out and approves a deal and leaves the partner's out? I remember a cartoon of a hippie on drugs and he's saying to the cop. "I don't know what's happenin, but it's happenen all aroooooooooooouuund me". There is a ton going on and I do think it's connected. Whoever the partner is must be tied to something else to be announced. This is really getting me excited.

Thanks thinkingStone-------------------------
I stole it for "the other board", you were first.
I only wish the Herbal Science junk had been approved as well. That story said the judge had to approve it, yet we have seen no date for approval. That Bright Foods/ GNC deal is very interesting and raises my gander.
Tex--The court news seems to come out in the weee hours of the morning or the next day. I hope NTRZ puts out something tomorrow.
Bright Foods to buy General Nutrition!!
How this ties to NTRZ is that Herbal Science had or has JV's with NTRZ, Bright Foods of China, and New Chapter, a nutracuetical seller. With the jockeying going around with Z and Herbal Science, it is not a stretch to see that NTRZ's nutraceuticals could be sold in China in GN and even in the USA.
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN0624121320101207
And note again that Herbal Science's home page and partners page have been blank since last Spring waiting on something.>>>
http://www.herbalsciencegroup.com/
http://www.herbalsciencegroup.com/clients.aspx
All this is no guarantee that NTRZ will be involved, but the timing sure fits. Could NTRZ and Herbal Science be involved in the signing of the Bright/GN deal next week?

I just ordered product from NTRZ. I ordered rice bran oil and the new product Immune Boost for stocking stuffers. The order girl, Jessica said it will take 4 to 5 days from there it Minneapolis. NanaCea and RicePlex take about the same.

NTRZ put a warning out a couple of days before they filed, but it was like .12 and up before they filed on November 11, 2009.. In February 09 they had to refile and the stock went from the .35 level to .20's after the refiling notice. The stock in 2007 made it to $5 with the smoke and mirrors of the former CEO.

I am lucky to own NIB now. In 2009 NIB rose from 30.73 to 42.92 or 40% in 5 weeks. I think NIB this week could go up 20% the next couple of days or to the all time high of around $52.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?t=2y&l=on&z=l&q=l&p=&a=&c=&s=nib

nsomniyak--you can't get to it now with the changeover with the "Q" being taken off with normal channels. But the following will get you there. It's been slow because nobody can find it until maybe Monday or Tuesday. This is becoming a great board with some iHub heavy duty posters and chartists showing up. Better charts here. The"other" board has many of us Z old timers and is partly a social board, but there is some fantastic DD there at times.>>>
http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_%28A_to_Z%29/Stocks_N/forumview?bn=47300&vmode=1
The glass is half full, not half empty!
A poster at "the other board" was at the IFT Food show last summer that NTRZ was at, including John Short and 3 sales VP's. He was told that it was hard doing business in BK because companies were not willing to commit while Z was under BK. Well we are out of BK as of last Wednesday.
But the fun comment to him was was, "They did say the Chinese would not do anything with Z while in Chapter 11.". Well, if NTRZ had no future with China, why would they even bring it up. I translate that as "China WILL be doing business with NTRZ when we exit BK". We did have a rice bran oil plant deal with them canceled in BK.. We could not afford it anyway. But, Since the NTRZ oil process makes the 80% of the left overs from the rice bran oil process human food in place of low grade animal feed, China who needs food certainly has their eyes on NTRZ. I just don't know how Short pulls it off. Licensing is a possibility.
I can't guarantee a China deal, just trying to assemble clues. If one acts on KNOWN market info, he will have trouble making money.
Let the fun begin.
I'm working on a chart, hope to have it up soon.

I really don't see a catalyst until next week unless somebody knows something I don't. Next Tuesday the BK judge approves the Irgovel deal and hopefully the Herbal Science settlement as well. But, you could be right if someone pushes the stock over .22 and the 20 day moving average. The next two weeks will be monumental for us long term holders, I hope.

SRB XMAS SHOPPING--The gift of life
Help your family and friends and help the stock price by buying XMAS gifts of SRB products. Last year rice bran oil was a big hit in my family and all but one wants more this year for XMAS. The new RiPower Immune Boost is going to be a new gift to some this year from me as well. Word of mouth is the best advertising their ever was and it's it's free. Let's spread the word with XMAS gifts of life--SRB products.
http://www.nutraceaonline.com/
And don't forget our friends at NanaCea and RicePlex that make most of their own products out of our SRB. Patty just updated her site and has many great products. I use her 24/7, Manna and a few other capsules. And Riceplex has a new blockbuster product as well. I got to try their Ultera. Their Strawberry solubles I enjoy as well. Surf their sites for XMAS gifts.

WNRC, it is due. And it would be fun for that to go, little volume here is a good sign as it drifts gives a a strong hint od hiddend strength..
Next Tuesday or Wednesday is very key.
The BK judge will approve the Irgovl deal and maybe the Herbal Science deal cancellation. The meeting is next Tuesday at 1:30 Phoenix time. That is key ,in my opinion, because NTRZ will then have the money and approval to announce other deals. Herbal Science will probably be replace with something else and whatever it could be could be huge. Also, as I mentioned before the mention of BDO Seidman as Z's world wide auditors implies NTRZ is going global with something. All we got global now is Irgovel and we survived just fin with BDO Seidman.
New deals could be announced sooner. Corp[orations do not want to sign deals with companies in BK and hopefully many deals will soon be announced. New oil plants or a new nutraceutical/pharm deal could motor the stock.
This is just the beginning today
2 key points about the PR\
First, nutraceuticals and pharma are not in the "About NutraCea" section at the end. This is the second PR in a row that is not mentioned. Yet, NTRZ IS SELLING NUITRACEUTICALS on their website. So, an old rumor comes into play that about the online store that is was said by a NTRZ employee, "We are going to get a new business". It was not said that we are going to get new products. So, I can only deduct NTRZ will get a "New Business" that handles nutra and pharma together, such as a JV with someone, or a sale with licensing fees, preferably as that would get Z cash NOW. But I guess that we got to wait until Dec 7th when the judge approves Irgovel and may HS.
Second a HUMONGOUS clue. Short says " We engaged BDO Seidman LLP as our worldwide auditor firm". This is not new news, so why did Short even put that in. Why do we need them for just Irgovel when we did OK without them for Irgovel for two years? So, one must deduct we are going world wide and not just with nutra/pharma. WOO HOO
I called Schwab and they don't know why the new symbol is not working and the NTRZQ with yesterday's closing bid/ask. They think maybe on the open it corrects, but I doubt it. We'll see
PR on bankruptcy exit now out as well.
PHOENIX, Dec. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NutraCea (Pink Sheets:NTRZ.pk - News), a world leader in production and utilization of stabilized rice bran (SRB), rice bran oil (RBO) and their derivative products, today announced that the Company has emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection effective November 30, 2010. As previously announced, NutraCea filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code on November 10, 2009 in order to restructure its operations under court supervised protection. On October 27, 2010 the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona entered an order confirming the First Amended Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") proposed jointly by NutraCea and the Official Unsecured Creditors Committee. The Plan, which provides for full payment of allowed claims, was overwhelmingly supported by the company's creditors.
W. John Short, Chairman and CEO commented, "Over the course of the past year NutraCea has taken full advantage of the opportunities afforded by Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code to restructure our company and reposition our go-forward businesses. As previously reported, during the past 18 months we sold four non-core assets and used the proceeds to fund our restructuring, pay our DIP lender in full and set aside cash for partial repayment of our unsecured creditors. We have made excellent progress streamlining overheads, reducing debt and increasing profitable sales in our core businesses in the areas of SRB, RBO and related products derived from stabilized rice bran. "
"During that same period, we strengthened our management team with the additions of Dale Belt as CFO and Colin Garner as SVP- Sales. We were able to attract John Quinn to join our Board of Directors as Chairman of the Audit Committee. We engaged BDO Seidman LLP as our worldwide auditor firm. And we settled shareholder class action litigation within D&O policy limits."
"In accordance with the terms of the Plan, we will to begin to make distributions to our creditors by mid-December beginning with the convenience class claimants. Distributions will continue periodically as additional non-core assets are monetized and funds are received from other sources until all allowed claims have been paid in full."
"We are very pleased to have exited Chapter 11 in just over 12 months. On behalf of our entire senior management team and our Board of Directors, I want to offer special thanks to everyone who worked so very hard and supported NutraCea through the restructuring process. This includes all of our employees and directors, our customers who supported us with their continued purchases over the past year, our suppliers who continued to provide credit to the company through the restructuring process and our legal and advisory teams who worked along side us through many long evenings and weekends to help position our company for a successful exit from Chapter 11."
Mr. Short concluded, "We are very excited about the prospects for our company as we emerge from Chapter 11. All of us at NutraCea will be applying even greater energy to take advantage of the significant opportunities that exist for the future growth and profitability of NutraCea."

NutraCea emerges from bankruptcy
I have been waiting for this. Many deals have not been signed because businesses don't want to sign with a BK company. It might get interesting from here. Some PR's might have to ait until the judge approves the Irgovel deal on December 7th.

LOCN and WNRC authentic
I am seeing a few hatchet jobs with huge 1 or 2 day spikes and then the rug is pulled from under the chasers. Look at EXBX and LKEN then compare to WNRC and LOCN that look like real market interest and not market maker trickery. We shall see if I'm right. It seems like market top action to me over all, but maybe just whipsawing for a while before the next up leg? Good pennies can be very independent of the over all market.
