I hate to split hairs, but we're not on the Pink Sheets...we're on the Bulletin Board. Being fully reporting is a big first step toward being fully respectable. Of course, revenue is probably just as big a step, so we're still waiting on that one!

I want some news to talk about...all this banter is exacerbating my growing ennui.

I think he was using a rule of thumb to describe your system. If nobody else has written a computer program to predict the markets, then chances are you haven't either. Your system is likely profiling IHDR as being still very strong despite the price drop, but that doesn't mean the stock price won't go back to .06 if the company doesn't release good news. The problem with predicting the markets is that there are companies tied to the stocks and companies are unpredictable.

I'm not sure what we're debating about here. We all know that this is unproven technology. We all know there have been comparisons to turbines and while wikipedia says turbines are more efficient then positive displacement technology, IHDR does have a patent on the ECV design which seems to suggest it is something more then the classic positive displacement engine. We also know that good salesmen can sell a refrigerator to an Eskimo and that businesses relationships cause companies to sell crap to each other in exchange for other crap based on their business relationships alone. Also at the end of the day we bought the IHDR **STOCK** not the ECV itself and the stock will continue to trade up and down based on news just like any other stock will. The success of the ECV itself affects only the truly long shareholder who believes we will someday trade on the nasdaq for $5.

PaperProphet can endlessly point out the turbine comparison and none of us can prove him wrong - nor can he prove that the ECV will not find real world applications and succeed in markets where turbines are failing (or with ignorant companies who don't bother to research turbines). He can point out the unfulfilled promises of the management (many of which bother me a great deal) but loyal shareholders can always look at these delays as part of the business development process. I think that we can all agree (and the 10Q shows) management (and contractors!!) benefits from taking their time, which they have, but that doesn't mean we won't get there eventually.

Isn't this clear to everyone? It sucks to be a shareholder when we're down. It sucks to hear Res and PP bash the stock, when none of us (including myself) really understands the source of their resolve.

For every annoying pumper who claimed the float was coiled tight as a spring up above .20 a couple weeks ago who was wrong (in fact we were fat with shareholders sitting on 100% gains who were waiting to see how high it would go before selling off), there are annoying bashers who pick on technical problems that really have no bearing on the shareprice when a kickass PR is released announcing new sales because the certification came in.
