UFC trying to buy G4 cable channel. To the think, the UFC could be buying the Fight Network right now if dipshit Sandy would have run this as a legitimate business, instead of a scam.

UFC Looking to Buy G4 Cable Channel, Spike Execs Prepare to Move On
By Mike Chiappetta

In a blockbuster development, the UFC is in talks to buy an ownership stake in the G4 cable channel, according to published reports.
On Wednesday, New York Times TV reporter Brian Stelter tweeted that a source had confirmed that "Comcast is meeting with UFC today about possible sale of a stake in G4." Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal furthered the developing story, saying the UFC is in discussions to "buy control" of the network.
In recent days, sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity told MMA Fighting that Spike, which has been the home of the UFC since 2005, is essentially preparing for life without UFC, and that it will move the Bellator promotion on to the channel in 2012.
For the last several days, the internal belief within Spike had been that G4 would ultimately become the UFC's home for The Ultimate Fighter and other broadcast events. The scope of the deal, and that cable channel ownership was in the works, comes as something of a surprise, even though in the past UFC president Dana White has spoken of the possibility.
G4 is currently owned by Comcast, the parent company of UFC television partner Versus.
While nothing is close to final, Spike is no longer aggressively seeking to renew its deal with UFC, practically ensuring that the promotion will find a new home for its Ultimate Fighter series, along with other UFC programming.
Several Spike employees are openly referring to the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter as "the last season," and as MMA Fighting reported recently, Spike executives have been on site at recent Bellator events, familiarizing themselves with the promotion. According to a source, it's likely that Bellator will return to weekday events, possibly on Thursdays, so as not to directly compete with UFC. Bellator's current broadcast deal is with MTV2, which like Spike, is owned by the media conglomerate Viacom.
Even if the UFC buys control of G4, it will have some work to do to build up the struggling network, which is available in just 59 million homes. By contrast, Spike is available in 99 million. At the end of 2010, G4 was removed off DirecTV, a move that could be reversed given the UFC's strength as TV's premier pay-per-view provider, a business that directly benefits DirecTV.
Barring what now seems like an unlikely contract renewal, the UFC's deal with Spike will come to an end in 2011.

Showing some resilience. Nobody pumping this one either.
Is this a good stock?
Another nice up day.
Nice 37k share buy at the close.
What's the latest with this POS? Those idiots Mike Garrow and Sandy Winnick could have turned this company into a powerhouse, but they would rather scam everyone. For god's sake, they had Randy Couture on staff before the UFC even exploded. Now it's a household name. Too bad the UFC was a private company and this turd was one of the few options to play MMA.
Looks like we could be moving even higher with the success of Fraxel and Thermage. Don't know much about the Isolaz, but will find out more.

Anyone see that sell order for over a million shares?
Good end of day action
Not that bad of earnings considering the economy is in the crapper.
Told u guys last week (IO) Ion geophysical was the bomb. Well, it just went off today +30%.
Another cheap oil play is IO- Ion Geophysical, but BQI is having a better day! Keep on going!
Well, swine flu
Do u think the economic slowdown may cramp earnings this year?
Possibly, I think you will see a short term spike in the next week because the ex dividend date is coming up. Long term this a good play, but the chlor alkali business will continue to be slow short term.
Sweet! The ammo business is booming, no pun intended. The chlor alkali business should be good this qtr from the swine flu scare. Bleach everything!
I'm not sure about the ammo%, but they are as follows in chemicals:
The Olin Advantage
No. 1 in industrial bleach production in North America
A network of strategically located terminals
10 plants across North America
Leading producer of Chlor Alkali products in North America
Unmatched tech support
Extensive product knowledge
Safest product delivery record
Chlorine
No. 1 merchant supplier in North America
Caustic Soda
Third-largest supplier in North America
Potassium Hydroxide
Second-largest supplier in the Western Hemisphere
Bleach
Largest producer of industrial bleach in North America
Hydrochloric Acid
Offered in multiple grades and concentrations
Hydrogen
A clean, alternative fuel and an important building-block element.
From their website-www.olin.com
Company has been around over 100 years, owns Winchester (guns, ammo) and produces chlor alkali products (bleach, pool chlorine, etc.)
My personal favorite is to da MOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The latest reason for the drop is malfunctioning controllers.

As you can see from several customers' posts, this company doesn't have a very good reputation.
According to the SIPC, we should be able to recover our money since BKMP is obviously a fraud.
"The SIPC, which was created by Congress and funded by the securities industry, can give customers up to $500,000 each if it is determined their money was stolen. A telephone message seeking comment from the SIPC was not immediately returned Monday.
Bernie Madoff was arrested several weeks ago on securities fraud charges after the FBI said he confessed to top executives of his company, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, that his private investment business was a fraud."
Oh wait, they only want to offer rich investors restitution for being scammed. Another bailout for the rich, they just can't lose. I was wondering why they didn't seem upset about the Madoff Scam on the CNBC Documentary. It's because they already knew the taxpayer had their back.
Looks like we will be heading to the AMEX soon.
China Organic Agriculture Announces Joint Venture with Premium Wine Producer East Star Wine Company
China Organic Agriculture, Inc. (OTCBB: CNOA), an international diversified premium food products company capitalizing on China's burgeoning domestic consumer demand, today announced a Chinese-Foreign equity joint venture with China-based Xinbin Manchu Autonomy County East Star Wine Company Ltd.
The joint venture, to be branded Asia Star Ice Wine Company Ltd., will market and sell premium and specialty ice wines through CNOA’s distribution subsidiary, Dalian Ankang. Initial output of both premium wines and ice wines are projected at approximately 2,000 tons. China Organic will own 60% of the new entity.
China, Canada, Germany and Austria are the only countries in the world possessing the unique climate required to produce ice wine, which results from the harvesting and processing of a specific type of grape and consistent temperatures below -10 degrees Celsius.
“Asian demand for ice wine accounts for 60% of Canada’s top ice wine exports since 2004,” said Jinsong Li, Chief Executive Officer of China Organic Agriculture. “Through this relationship, we believe we can capture a significant portion of the rapidly growing domestic Asian market for luxury ice wines as well as other high quality offerings in several closely-related categories.” The core activities of the newly formed joint venture company are expected to include the processing and distribution of red wine, ice wine, blueberry ice wine, and blueberry drinks and the processing and distribution of grapes and blueberries.
The Asia Star joint venture is characteristic of the type of acquisition or business relationship that can provide opportunities for CNOA to achieve a significant market share in the distribution and sale of premium wines in China.
While there are currently 600 million urban Chinese, that number is expected to grow to over 1 billion by 2020. The burgeoning Chinese middle class now includes more than 200 million people and is growing rapidly. Given the growing affluence of China’s premium food products consumers, China Organic’s management believes that the division has the potential to deliver significant revenues for the next several decades.
China has been labeled as the sleeping giant of the wine industry. Consumption of wines, especially foreign wines, has increased 50 percent from 2000-2005 and looks to be exceeding that growth by a further 70 percent for the balance of the decade. Demand is growing rapidly and supply of foreign wines is extremely tight.
Recent guidance released by CNOA evidences the growth potential into fiscal 2009 and beyond: Q4 2008 revenue $54 million versus $15.7 million Q4 2007 Full year 2008 revenue $113 million versus $44.5 million FY 2007 Q4 2008 net income $11 million versus $3.9 million Q4 2007 Full year 2008 net income $20 million versus $13.5 million FY 2007 Q4 2008 EPS $0.15. Full year 2008 EPS $0.29 The above figures include our recent $8.7 million sale of our ErMaPao rice division as well as the October 2008 acquisition of Dalian Huiming, a major agricultural trading company with fiscal 2007 revenues and earnings of $40.2 million and $2.7 million respectively.

Bad news is MWY just got a delisting notice from the NYSE. They have 6 months to bring price back up to at least a $1.
I agree DC vs MK is great, and Wheelman is on the horizon. I'm loading up at these prices.
I'm backing the truck up Friday. Anyone want to help?
Exactly, there are many that are up 100% or more from the 52 week low on this. They had to sell eventually. With earnings, you never know how the market will respond. It's usually best to sell before or during earnings releases to avoid misunderstandings in reportings or even incoherent conference calls that drive the stock down.
I think this quarter will be decent, but the guidance will suck ass.
Good job as usual Calico. Let's at least drag these fu**ers through the mud.
What's going on with this POS now?
