Desert Storm (aka The Gulf War) was Aug 2, 1990 – Feb 28, 1991. Roughly 6 weeks later-- (April 10, 1991) "Deere pulls out of the rotary engine race." Then thirteen years later--
So this priceless rotary engine technology --previously dumped by the automotive industry, Curtiss Wright and John Deere Technology-- somehow made its way to a crappy penny stock called ENCOMPASS HOLDINGS (ECMH)? As this 2006 SEC disclosure states (one of 295 disclosures made by ECMH) the intent was to create "jet powered TahitiPetey XBoard --a "jet-powered surfboard." AND-- "TahitiPetey Aqua Xtreme Sports, Inc, a portfolio company of StarFish Capital Partners, has also placed an order with Aqua Xtremes totaling $76.9 million for the purchase of Xboards." IMO classic penny stock pump-n-dump PR. https://www.otcmarkets.com/filing/html?id=4776814&guid=eQd-kWqp5NU2B3h
