If we were ALL kept up to date
maybe you would have fewer frustrated partners like me...
I just want to hear from the man, I mean the guy just can't be that busy that he can't say a few words to his constituency.
The Pope and the President find enough time to at least delegate somebody to release some information from time to time.
And he ain't them...
You're the messenger, yes. But you're also the moderator, so you're in the cross sites, sorry.
But you are not the target...
And if I don't hear anything I will continue to vent. I've paid for the right.
Disclude me and insolence will and should follow.
Include me and change my mind.
Or just erase me,You have the power...
& needlepoint doesn't help..Even a little.
Share Count
The total o/s for SPRL on 04/04/07 was 237,000,000
The total o/s for SPRL on 11/20/07 is.... 445,870,591
This is not dilution for the cost of doing business,
This is just printing money because you can.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Except it's my money...
It's been a two and a half year ride.
All the way from 14 cents a share newbies.
It's the end of the year and I'm getting ready to bail- sell it all and take the loss on my taxes.
But so what, theres a whole new bunch of suckers right at the triple zero mark ready to take up the fight and go from there.
So Velvet, Shadow ,(Sam), whatever; come clean dude - why not?
Tell us what you know... How many people can you hurt and still sleep at night? Yea I know...
Shame on you. All of you!
Support broke at .12c
A long time ago...
Good Luck...
From your picture
it looks like you can
hold your breath
for a long time...
HOW FITTING...
STRAT falls almost 10% on a $10. trade to .0010
And this is the stock we're all gonna get rich on eh?
10 bucks says we're toast.
Charlatan, re: MAGP
If you have the time...
Do you have an opinion on the MIT boys at MagPlane,
Sorry.
Topic misconstrued.
Surfer:
The spike you saw in pps (IMHO) was due to a PR (press release)
common in pinkies. But then they receded back to where they have found a comfort level, maybe to dump some shares, I don't know.
Todays jump- I don't know why, but it only totaled $1600 in purchase $$. So what?? It could just be signals between MM"s
Anyway the reason for my post tonight is that I did e-mail MagPlane with something that I believe would be of great interest to them.
We're young, let's see if we hear back...
Get off the board on the high horse I rode in on?
I don't think so!
I did not get here by horse, I came in on a bus and I paid a little over $8000.00 for my ticket.
Sorry if you don't like the view from my seat.
You're right... It has happened!
And keeps happening.
Anyway, I had pretty much the same thoughts just last June.
Post 10935--FWIW...
abbam...
Sorry, don't have the feature to reply.
Just frustrated, that's all.
Glad you enjoyed it. And I pray you are right.
On the chart just above the posts on this site...
The high point is at .006 (last June/July).
Today it would take an increase of 500% just to get back to there. Not to mention that it would take a 5000% increase from today just to reach .06c,which would still leave 95% of the investors here at a 95%+ loss. which is about half of what most longs bought in at.
I've noticed some new posters here with a minuscule entry point touting the same old lines we've been hearing for years now (I wonder why)?
As we get ready to enter triple zero's I only hope that my long time constituents have made other diversified plans for their later years, because somebody has already spent this part of your future and obviously have no plans to slow down 'till they get it all.
Happy Holidays Sam.
Personally,
Yea, he could have talked to us once in a while,
Who knows where we might be?
New STRAT bulletin 10-29-07
Sam Hyams of Strat Petroleum, an emerging exploration and development company focusing on oil and gas opportunities in the Russian Federation is really a home schooled 17 year old, who, not only has never been to Russia, but has not left his basement in three and a half years.
Young Mr. Hyams is about to launch a series of infomercials on how to make millions on the internet with his new dvd collection on manipulating the average Joe with just a few aliases and a couple of friends in this dynamic new market strategy.
He will take you through the purchase of a shell company, many methods of pumping future projects and joint ventures, the art of creating letters of intent to investigate the possibilities of entertaining the creation of an executive board to formulate the new business plan to change directions when existing plans run their course in order to keep the circle going and the money flowing.
He will also explain the power behind the strategy of never ever answering to your investors, other than your very close friends of course what might be coming next or what is really going on behind the scenes.
Stay tuned, e-mails to follow to selected longs.
C'mon Janet,
Don't sugar coat it
Tell us what you really think.
It's the same ol stuff rehashed over and over again for 2+ years now.
We got screwed... Don't buy in if you can't take the etc. Yada Yada Yada...
Fact is, it's gone, it's all gone.
It never was. Good job Sam, damm good job...
CHAR.. Any unabashed words
for longs holding SPRL for so long they can't really afford to sell?
Very ugly.
Man look at all that volume in the last 10 months as the pps fell "another" 95% or so.
Sam, ya got a minute?
A nice floor at .0014?
I remember when it looked like we were building a solid floor at .12c--down from .25c.
Now you see us sticking around the new floor of .0014 (since .014 has long slipped by) "until something comes out, or there is more dilution".
Let's see, 'BIG DEAL', more dilution, 'BIG DEAL', more dilution. Hmm'
Sam hasn't said anything of fruition in at least 2 years and unfortunately probably never will.
I'm guessing a slight downward spiral from here.
Any takers???
Yea Benz, I saw that one too.
Only problem there is that this company was called something like First Entertainment, inc until around Sept. of 1997.
This guy must have some kind of foresight.
Mr. Pegleg
You've been in this stock for what now maybe 6 months?
So your entry cost was what, in the 1/2 penny range or less?
And you have the "NAD'S" to tell all the whiners who have invested 10's of thousands of dollars of our money at .20 .18 .15 .12 etc. because we believed then, what you're hearing now, for over 2 years or so to quit crying and get out and leave you serious players in the game alone because we're looking for a quick fix?
And now you have to ask what O/S is??
I think I'm gonna puke!
Stubs and Slice
Stubs, that was the best post I've seen here in 2 years...
Slice, I feel your pain and frustration -exactly-
as we're in the same boat, and it's a big boat
with quite a few of us in it, set out to drift.

"Reverse Merger Suicide".
Not a whole lot of difference from our situation here.
Reverse Merger Suicide
By William Cate
Published December 2004
Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) are between a rock and a hard place. To attract risk capital investors, the CFO's company must be public. But the average cost of taking a company public in the United States is over $1,500,000. If the CFO decides to raise money as a private company from venture capitalists, the odds of success are less than one-in-ten thousand.
For too many CFOs, the solution is to find a Corporate Dr. Kevorkian and take their private company public via a reverse merger. While the immediate costs of doing a reverse merger are anywhere from a few thousand dollars to a few hundred thousand dollars, the long-term costs are measured in tens of millions of dollars. A reverse merger is a suicide machine where the costs are almost always certain to kill the patient.
The formula for doing a reverse merger is simple. The publicly trading company issues sufficient shares to acquire a private company. The issued shares give the private company insiders the majority of shares in the public company. As the majority shareholders, the private company insiders appoint their own Board of Directors and officers. The public company's name is usually changed to that of the private company. The result is the private company is now a public company.
A reverse merger example would be a bankrupt company trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) with five million shares issued. The company is called a 'shell."
Public investors own 500,000 shares of this shell. This is the shell company's "float." The shell company's insiders own 4.5 million shares. The shell company issues 6 million shares to buy the private company. The reverse merger has 11 million shares issued with 500,000 shares in the float.
The Reverse Merger's CFO knows that the public company has a hundred times better odds of raising risk capital from accredited investors. The CFO can offer potential investors liquidity, after one year, and leverage by discounting the price of the Private Placement shares. What the CFO needs is a public company with strong and sustainable share price to attract investment interest. And therein lies the problem, the "poison pill" ignored by most CFOs.
It costs money to find buyers for any stock. Public companies are responsible for finding the buyers of their stock for as long as the company is public. In our example above, the OTCBB Company with a float of 500,000 will cost the public company about $400,000 to maintain a $3/share price. The poison pill is the fact that the shell company's insiders will sell their shares into the market at $3/share. The shell company insiders make 13.5 million dollars from the sale of their shell.
This will create a float of 5 million shares and the Reverse Merger Company must pay an annual four million-dollar investor relation's bill that they rarely can generate from corporate income. The result is the death of another fledgling company. There's a loss of investment capital. And, the community loses jobs. The only winners are the shell company insiders and the Dr. Kevorkians from Texas to New York, who supply the reverse merger suicide service.
CFOs have more than two ways to take their private company public. They should look at the possibility of a corporate death pill in any alternative they consider. A little research is the ounce of prevention that avoids a meeting with Dr. Death.
After witnessing the sell off
of the last of the Outstanding Shares over the last couple of weeks, why on this God's earth should one be surprised that Strat Petroleum's web site has disappeared as well.
Sam's been missing for months now (actually many many months).
Lucky for us though is that Velvet is waiting at home for a phone call from Sam that will explain all this and we will all be assured that Great news is just around the corner.
After all if you've heard the leak about the future Exxon - STRAT announcement to where said parties are about to enter into a letter of intent for STRAT to negotiate an agreement to study the value of a joint venture with Exxon Petroleum whereas this letter of intents purpose would be to pursue understandings to form a committee to investigate the advantages of a possible future agreement to consider a future joint venture with not only STRAT and Exxon but also JMCP to convert the sludge already in STRAT's portfolio as well as the contracts Exxon has in Bashkirya, with the eventual option for STRAT with JMCP's help to eventually purchase Exxon Petroleum should Strat meet certain financial objectives, which would then propell SRAT as a world leader in the vast petroleum megopoly.
The next step in information regarding all this future success will be handled by the new PR firm Christensen which will be releasing it's long awaited press release right after the High Holydays.
Be patient my brothers...
It's just around the corner.
Nice little rally, up 38% so far today.
But that last 200 share, 36 cent deal
Was that a buy or a sell?
From over here,
It kinda looks like the sky is falling...
Let's have some fun you guys...
September opened with a bang!
Because of the holiday weekend we had only a 4 day trading week in which STRAT moved over 30 million shares.....Well above average.
1st. trading day opening price .003
Last trading day closing price .003
So the question is... (drum roll please)
Does anyone here know how to reach Jim Cramer? Does anyone here know anyone who knows anyone who knows how to reach anyone who knows how to reach Jim Cramer??
I for one would LOVE (no pun intended) to hear what insight he might give on the deportment of the hierarchy of this "company" to it's very faithful shareholders. Not to mention the hieghths we might attain. Or not...
Yea the guy is over the top, but like I said let's have some fun for a change. Call his show!! Pound his show!! Let's create our own buzz.
I mean this guy could do a show that would just send this stock to the moon, right?
It would sure be a lot more informative than what we've been getting from Sam, Christensen, a hot dog vendor and a phony Russian insider lately.
Oh geez don't get me started on the phony Russian guy, he's given us more than most in the last week...

Jed,
Sam and I have both been in and out of the office for two weeks. He called me and finally got me on 6/27 just before he left and told me he would be traveling in the US until 7/3 returning to Canada on 7/4. I expect to catch up on things after his return.

One more thing, I told him I would be emailing him a list of topics I want to discuss (financials, progress, production,news releases, etc) for him while he is away. Hope to get some answers after he returns.

Velvet, thanks for answering:
And I realize that you and Sam are very busy men, so with him returning to his office on july 4 we'll have that whole celebration thing to deal with , then nobody will be able to communicate until the following Monday, and then with waiting for return phone calls and all it should be around July 14 that you actually hear from Sam; o.k I get that.
No wait a minute the 14th is a Saturday, so then it's wait again until Monday, a time to reconnect, wait for returning phone calls by say July 20 (again a Friday my favorite).
Then maybe the following Monday or Tuesday we'll get some actual feedback, now it's July 24 & your last real conversation was June 14 and Sam is off to Russia with some promise of great news to follow...And around and around we go..Circling the drain along with the pps!

I was supposed to speak with Sam today but got a message of postponement. I will let you all know when it will be rescheduled.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So there it is boys and girls.. No contact with the man that can't be reached for months now.
Tens of millions of shares being moved without any pps increase.
And a new "top notch" IR firm with nothing to say.
Not to mention the big fear that Christensen has been ultimately retained to soften the blow and ease into reality the positive aspects of the reverse split.
I for one am anxiously awaiting to hear about the financials, production, news releases and future plans Sam will be discussing with Velvet in the very near telephone communications they have scheduled...
My bottom line is and always has been, I JUST WANT TO HEAR FROM THE MAN!!!
Peace.
We should be so lucky.
8m+ shares sold today...
With the news going around as it is. I'm tempted to go to the well one more time.
But who am I buying from?
10s of millions of shares being sold weekly @ .003-
at no pps increase.
Who can do that?
& when does it stop?
Are we ready to go, finally?
or will we revert to even lower prices once again
once all the suckers reload??
Those are the obstacles I see as I figure...
Double up cheap or put what I have on a shelf...
I'm finally hearing what I like ( sucker-no-sucker)
Christensen, Rosneft, Aton Micro, even frank.
But what to do????!
Just thinking out loud...
Sam???
okay...
So you believe in this guy?
If STRAT has legitimate dealings with Rosneft and things are proceeding, Why then let this weenie continue with out any words to correct his deportment??..
We have a new IR firm right??
Last Week a Quick Run Up of 20 Million Shares...
Today: Stock up 25% for the day...
Damm: Some guys have all the luck...
What I meant was ...
If someone can afford to buy something at a price
then the other fella can afford to sell it at that price.
Just wonderin how they can afford to do it is all.
I think an explanation would help a few of us out here.
Just Wondering...
In the last 8 trading days, Approx. 20,000,000 shares have been sold in the range of .0025 or less.
Who can afford to sell at those prices.
How do they do it??..... I can't figure it out....
A little help...Please.
Stubs
If we actually do realize a $1M windfall from this outfit, don't smile. Trust me, it WILL have a hook in it.
Stubs hit it right on the head.
Sam needs to step up and communicate, hopefully this new association with Christensen / cQuest will be what we have all been waiting for for way too long now. I have my doubts but so what.
One thing I do know about (like Stubhub) though is personal loss, and from the outpouring that I am reading here for Velvets ordeal
I would hope that communally with his friends sharing in this, that we can lighten his burden just a little...

This is not an easy job,and it should only be a few short months before we get some really good news from these guys.
It's just around the corner...
The stock price is now at it's 52 week low.
Probably the lowest Strat has ever been.
Thank God that great news is just around the corner.
Just when we needed it most.
Funny how things just work out.
Took a day off'
Visited many "chain" grocery store outlets, as well as liquor stores & independents in So. Cal.
Couldn't find the product...Just my own experience for the day.
Any suggestions?
