Hi Susie,am having more problems over on the IBCX/ICAN board,imo,moderators will not allow negatives,deletion of posts they don't like continues uncontrolled,shareholders will suffer as a result.
Matt,or grubmaster,please restore my posts on the IBCX board,tia.
Congrats Matt,re the boot of nemo.I know you have come close to doing the same with me,but I do try to stay in bounds,borderline sometimes,due to my temper with pos pumpers.Oops,did I cross the line?LOL
reaping-you can reach Matt here-http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=504
Not that it will do any good,lol,I've asked the same question,IHUB is now RB Jr.,as far as pump goes,lol,is not really lol,more like a sad acknowledgement of the way things are.
Yes,it would be nice,but this has been an ongoing promise for over two years,I suggest you go to post #1 and start reading to get a sense of what Hayter/ICAN/IBCX is all about.
Yes,as did many others that swallowed the hype.I still wish him well re the IRAQ tour he is in,a very tough place to be.
If it is truly our "Capt.Nemo"or "Rick",the boot will be coming very soon,some think it is very deserved considering his comments re Matt and Bob.
realest,imo,the question is not of legality,it is of integrity,this company seems to have none,by that I mean the officers,specifically,Ed Hayter.Don't think for one second that Ed Hayter is not in control here,and am hoping what I say next will not earn a deletion,but Hayter=scam,period.His history proves it.
I think your major point is an absolute disregard of shareholders.Tell me if I am wrong,but I think not,it is Hayter's style,always has been,and imo,continuing down the same path.
Shareholders=stuckholders,investors=stuckholders,pumpers=stuckholders,everyone who bought above the current SP is a "stuckholder",while Hayter continues to dilute and dump,welcome to pinkieland.
Too bad all the pumpers here can't join him,those are the ones that truly belong in jail.
1.5 cents would be more like it,lol,if even that.
It seems he is still too wordy,but had a couple of good points re how we may not appreciate how well we have it here.I do hope he makes it home safely,as I hope all of our service people do.However,it doesn't excuse his message board behavior,I think he may be insane,but that's just IMHO.
Hi Jim,do you happen to know whatever happened to that weird guy,the extremely wordy self-proclaimed stock guru called "stervc"?Is he in jail?And if not,why not?
Thank you for that post,this group needs to see what is real re Ed Hayter.I've tried,with much less eloquence than yourself,and have failed.I hope you may have opened at least a few eyes,the honest people here deserve to know what is really going on,the others deserve nothing,and they know who they are,lol.
Excellent questions,none have been answered,though we do have the select few that seem to be able to talk to Hayter,just like we had before,lol.The more things change,the more they remain the same.
MM,you should be concerned about why you are down money,not about those who tell you why.Don't direct your anger towards those that reveal the truth,direct it towards those who stole your money,Ed Hayter is the number one culprit,living high off the hog with your money.Wayne is a pawn,Hayter learned from the Astroms,you don't have to take my word for it,do some DD.
BTW,that reminds me,the Patriots are going to kick ass on Sunday,all you Jets fans can kiss my ass after the game,pucker-up now.
9th consecutive bowl loss,it seems Catholics are in disfavor in the general scheme of things.I feel so much guilt I'm going to jump,right into bed,lol.Fuck Notre Dame.
ND just lost,again.
SLJB a scam,get out while you can.Another CMKX,no run coming,just take the $$.
Back at ya sweetie,let's put all these scams in their place.
Happy New Year~!!
My God,why have you brought Faith into an SLJB discussion?My Faith is in the Lord also,but it has absolutely nothing to do with SLJB,unless you are another blind believer in this POS scam,let us not confuse the two.
You are insane if you think bashers are a "good sign".
Pinksheet=scam,end of story.Not always with OTC,but usually,some OTC's end up to be legit,but that is so rare in proportion to scams it isn't worth mentioning.
Hey King Arthur,wake up,you have no Knights here to back you,facts have gotten in the way,the Crusade is over.Not even Richard-the LionHeart would would back you,SLJB is done,the party is over.The play was from .0025-.0027,not now.
This game is over,and ND deserves to lose,no defense,which was proven all year long.Also,Brady Quinn is way over-rated imo,which will be proven when when he plays for Cleveland.
To all BKMP holders,when you were up 300%-500%,why didn't you sell?
If LSU scores now,Notre Dame is done.
So where are our BKMP pumpers now?May I give you an "I told you so"?
realest-I haven't been here much lately,can you direct me to the authentication of the 2 BILLION shares now authorized?Btw,that would explain most of the recent drop in sp,nothing to do with any shareholders,or tax selling by same,can only be dilution,which totally explains the gag on the TA.Typical Ed Hayter,did the same when ICAN,gagged TA,lied on phone calls re dilution,lied re A/S,O/S,doing it all over,he learned a lot from the Astrom's,or viseversa.
hank,you must use the link provided at the end of the post to see the charts,takes you to Bill's original post.
Hank,I hope you get out with a profit,or at worst a small loss,you are one of the better/more honest posters here.IMHO,you will be very lucky to do so,as this is just Ed Hayter doing business as usual,using shareholders to make himself rich.
Bill Panetta had a great post re stocks like IBCX,and those that follow them,especially in regard to message board hype,here it is-

Stocks That Make Kool-Aid Status: How Popular is my Stock?
By Bill Panetta
President of Breakout Trading
www.breakoutrading.net
That ghost of Jim Jones works in mysterious ways on the OTC BB and Pink Sheets Exchanges. There’s a special type of ‘Kool-Aid’ drink that traders and investors enjoy when trading small cap stocks, and this article will give you some insight into how to identify and protect yourself from sucking in too much of the red stuff. Let me stress, this article is not to degrade or put down traders or investors for buying these type stocks at all (I make good money on these type of plays all the time), we’re merely looking to get better at selling rather than hanging on and taking a positive trade that turns into a losing situation.
We have all invested or traded some big name penny stocks in our trading career. We all know the type of stocks that I'm talking about. We’re going to try to make some sense of when to sell these types of stocks.
In this article we are going to look at the Psychology (Message Boards) combined with Technical Analysis. (Charts). The Psychology part of trading is very important to my success as a full-time trader. A big motivation for me in writing this article is I have seen plenty of good buy-side traders, some of them close friends, make great buying decisions and then have no idea or clue when to sell a stock that they have nice profits in. The investors and traders that we are talking about had tons of profits in these stocks. What were going to try to accomplish today is getting better at taking profits, especially on KOOL AID (cult) Stocks.
Kool Aid Stocks have stories that claim will revolutionize the world. You have heard them before, Cures for Cancer. Billions in Diamonds. A blimp that was supposed to revolutionize Wireless Communications. Big contracts with Circuit City. Recently a CEO that claimed his penny stock was worth upwards of $50/share. When these types of stocks get mainstream exposure, they suck in novice investors what I call the 9-5 crowd and the frenzy begins. Now friends and relatives are in. The message boards are packed, with multiple posts per minute. Everyone is going to hit it big. Any detractors of the company are considered ‘bashers’ or believed to be ‘illegally short’ the company. They get banned, insulted, and attacked in groups. It can get pretty ugly. As the stock continues higher, the 9-5 crowd is hooked and now looking for that ‘retirement’ profit. They have no trading experience nor do they understand what Mass Psychology (Message Board Hype) , is or what to look for on the technical side (Charts). The fortunate part is that some of these people get lucky enough to make some money, but then, almost inevitably, the GREED kicks they drink the KOOL AID and something mysterious happens, there dream investments starts to go south.
Let’s see if we can figure out a way to find a top in a very popular stock using both MASS PSYCHOLOGY (Message Boards) and a very basic technical indicator like the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
Let’s look at the MASS PSYCHOLOGY (Message Boards) first.
NOISE LEVEL: An indicator that I really like is a feature over at Investors Hub that gives me some really nice clues on stocks that have reached KOOL AID Status and could be nearing a top. Remember were looking for clues. One of the easiest ways to find out what the noise level is of a stock all one has to do is go to IHUB and click on the hot button http://investorshub.com/boards/most_read.asp and start looking at stocks that are the most read. Notice I specifically said most read (not the top boards or most posted). Not everyone posts. In fact, most people are just content to sit and read. The more people ‘lurking’ around a board show the larger audience the stock has. Browse a few of the most read posts and look for ‘cult-like’ activity. More than likely, you’ll see multiple posts giving the company glowing reviews. You might even catch a price target or two, well in excess of any reasonable share appreciation. It all sounds great, but what a lot of the people posting do not realize is that they all could very quickly become long-term shareholders in a go-nowhere company. You want to carefully time heavy ‘noise’ companies with those that are on a clear and sustainable uptrend, otherwise it’s akin to being sucked into a black hole.
Most of the stocks that you will see on this list are what I call broken stocks. Cult stocks that have gone bad. As you look at this list of companies especially in the top 5 most of these stocks have the biggest stuck holder bases on OTC & Pinks. You have to sell aggressively as your stock climbs into the top 5. Again this exercise is part of topping process of a stock. So check and monitor the list on regular basis to see what your stock is doing.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS:
MACD: Lets talk about the MACD indicator. The MACD is one of my favorite indicators because it identifies the trend and the strength of the trend. We’re looking for a stock that crosses above the zero-line on the MACD, which can create a powerful move that can last weeks at a time. You want to see some sense of direction in this indicator. Although there are plenty of stocks that are ‘bottomed out’ as far as MACD is concerned, without any indication of a reversal, you could be waiting for months for a move higher. To illustrate this, I’ve included some stocks that gave us some pretty convincing warning signals as far as MACD is concerned. Let’s look at some charts and see if any of this makes any sense.
As you can see, using mass psychology (message boards) combined with a simply technical indicator like MACD can help you avoiding drinking some very expensive Kool-Aid. This methodology is not an end-all to trading, but should serve as a good general reference for you to be more successful in some of the heavily-touted stocks.
Quick Note: The MACD should be used on any stock you are trading – not just cult stocks.
MONEY MANAGEMENT: I see a lot traders and investors giving back profits from the riding of free shares on these ‘Kook-Aid’ stocks. Some traders and investors think because they bought the stock DIRT at .003 and sold ½ their shares at .01, the trade is over its time to relax. While selling a portion of your stock every time the stock climbs 50% or 100% is good practice, it’s very important to still watch and be responsible for the remaining ‘free’ shares. Many traders begin to ignore technical analysis after creating ‘free’ shares, often ignoring critical MACD downturns. When you sold DIRT .at .01, the MACD may have been over the zero line, positive, and still heading up. If the stock continued higher, you may have an exceptional profit and be tempted to just keep ‘letting it ride’. Unfortunately, being complacent about the MACD could cost you big bucks. Even with ‘free’ shares, there’s a tremendous difference between selling at .15 and selling at 03. While you would not ‘lose’ in the true sense of the word, you could miss an opportunity to make exponentially more money simply because you failed to pay attention to a basic indicator. Do not rationalize that ‘free’ shares do not matter into your trading strategy and surmise to hold them forever. Treat them like any other trade and protect your profits when you have them. It could have meant an extra $500, $5,000, or $50,000 to your pocket, and that’s nothing any of us can afford to write off. The bottom line is this, if the MACD turns down, get aggressive in taking profits. There are a slew of potential sellers – convertible holders, CEOs, restricted holders that are freed up, market markers, and other retail players. If you let your guard down, you will eventually give back all of your entire ‘free’ shares. Let this be clear, as far as trading and money management goes, there is no nobility in giving back profits.
In summary , buying into a stock is easy, selling and knowing when the top is coming into any stock is the hard part. The very basic principals in this article should help you get better and selling for nice profits.
Lets get better at taking profits in 2007

It now seems to be the consensus of most posters that Ed Hayter is lying re A/S,O/S,dilution,etc.I did try to warn you re his past,this is nothing new,he will shamelessly tell you on the phone no dilution is occurring as he sells billions of shares.The Astrom's could learn a thing or two from Hayter.
Uranium and zinc top investor picks for 2007 and silver and nickel to benefit too
By: Dorothy Kosich
Posted: '26-DEC-06 11:00' GMT © Mineweb 1997-2006
RENO, NV (Mineweb.com) --Scotiabank Vice President, Industry and Commodity Market Research Patricia Mohr has forecast uranium and zinc as her top picks for investors in 2007, with precious metals, particularly silver, expected to benefit from further weakness in the U.S. dollar.
In her recently published analysis, Mohr said uranium was the third-best performing commodity this year “and will likely be the top performer in 2007.” She forecast that spot uranium prices are expected to average US$80 a pound in 2008, possibly ending 2007 close to $90.
“The current upswing in uranium prices represents a ‘secular’ transformational change in global energy markets-related partly to a shift by utilities from high-priced fossil fuels—rather than a ‘cyclical’ upswing,” Mohr asserted. “Nuclear energy is used for ‘base load’ electricity generation and will be little affected by an expected modest slowdown in global growth in 2007 (4.7% down from 5.2% in 2006), using ‘purchasing power parity’ estimates.”
Mohr noted that international utilities are currently seeking 60 million pounds of term commitments from miners, although U.S. utilities have built up some inventory. “While exploration activity has surged for uranium—across Canada, Australia, Africa and in Kazakhstan—there has been little improvement in mine production,” she said, explaining that a 10-year lag between deposit discovery and new mine development is typical. While higher prices have encouraged the reactivation of some mines and increased production at others, actual mine output probably dropped this year, Mohr suggested, noting the technical difficulties of Australia’s Olympic Dam and the fact that the McArthur River expansion in northern Saskatchewan has yet to receive regulatory approval.
Mohr forecast that mine production gains will be limited next year. The woes of Cigar Lake compound the supply problem because it would have been “the first big increase in global supply in many years (ramping up to 18 million pounds).”
BASE METAL SHIFTS
Within base metals, Mohr suggested that leadership has shifted from copper to zinc and nickel, and to a lesser extent, lead. “The correction in U.S. housing activity and Big Three auto assemblies is taking a toll on U.S. copper demand—with most of the recent increase in LME inventories occurring in U.S. warehouses.”
Nevertheless, Mohr asserted that the U.S. corrections “had only a limited impact on overall zinc demand. China’s share of global zinc consumption is 2.6 times bigger than that of the United States, limiting the negative fallout on zinc.” She also noted that strong U.S. non-residential construction is more zinc-intensive than is home-building.
With global zinc consumption surpassing supplies, Mohr claimed that “zinc is likely to move even higher in the first half of 2007, before significant mine expansion begins to trim prices in late 2007 and 2008.”
Meanwhile, Mohr’s analysis revealed that as LME nickel prices surged to a record high this month, China’s “enormous growth in stainless steel production is likely to continued in 2007 (up a projected 35%).” Of the 32 commodities covered in Scotiabank’s commodity index, “nickel was the top performing commodity in 2006—climbing an extraordinary 159% over the past year.” Mohr forecast a “supercycle is expected in nickel, with prices staying strong through 2008.”
