Jagman, good post on the election result. I think the new President elect will be more pragmatic than most think, and, be able to resist pressures from the far left and right. Just look how the man handled his campaign and his mostly consistent messages, to win the highest post in the land. Constant discipline.
I am most curious to see what he will ask of each individual American to help out this fabulous country of ours that has, since its inception, offered unlimited opportunities to those who work to make a dream come true. Many dreams have come true in this country, unfortunately too much of the later fruit harvest has been picked by the lazy and unscrupulous among us by devious means.
He has a hell of a task ahead, to get us out of the quagmire created by the relentless consumer and governmental addiction to credit, and executive greed.
As far as CTGI, I have no problem with letting ninjaturtle's post today to a new poster there on that board to make a reply to your thoughts and questions.

BB: 'Hopefully' is a good word. LOL Welcome to the board. There are naturally no guarantees in OTC-BB Land. Admittedly, there aren't many OTC companies that continue onto the Big Leagues, but those that do can yield magnificent returns on investment.
Shrewdly, you've hit upon some key strengths rare in OTC-BB companies: low O/S; no history of wanton dilution; professional & educated management/advisory team heavily invested in firm; management that for years have bought shares, but do not sell them. It was this last that impelled me to first buy CTGI. Peter Lynch says, "Insiders sell for many reasons, but they buy for one and only one reason: they expect it to appreciate in value." Notably, the CEO currently holds 3,070,875 CTGI. On Sept 22/23 2008, CEO Robbins added 429,000 shs @ 0.625 paid with $268,000 cash. A vote of confidence.
In the 0.40s, your risk/reward is arguably quite low, given FDA/EU approval of key patented technology and sales of LTC expected in early 2009. The exclusive licensed carbon-capture technology, applicable to coal-fired power plants for one, is the wild card. CSMG dedicated a Clean Energy division to move this rather amazing laboratory-developed patented technology to prototype. If the power industry, desperate for an affordable solution, gets involved at any stage in the process, it could be a wild ride.
Best of luck.
