Institutions don't buy this penny stock, and most investors are adviced not to invest here, and with no R/S, we are a looooong ways away from 5 USD to be able to get a quotation on the Nasdaq. This combined with the fact that this board has already 744 boardmarks tells me all Ihub is present here so the only way this stock can move is down IMO.
Unless fundamentals will change... together with the down market, Tom just needs to come up with something stellar. And that is my honest opinion.

Quarterly Report
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
BUSINESS RISK FACTORS
There are many important factors that have affected, and in the future could affect, Seaway Valley Capital Corporation's business, including but not limited to the factors discussed below, which should be reviewed carefully together with other information contained in this report. Some of the factors are beyond our control and future trends are difficult to predict.
As of July 1, 2007, Seaway Capital, Inc. can exert control over us and may not make decisions that further the best interests of all stockholders.
As of July 1, 2007, Seaway Capital, Inc. controls 100% of our outstanding Series B preferred stock after competing the purchase from GreenShift corporation. The preferred shares are convertible into 80% of our Common Stock. As a result, Seaway Capital, Inc. exerts a significant degree of influence over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, the concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in control of us and might affect the market price of our commons stock, even when a change in control may be in the best interest of all stockholder. Furthermore, the interest of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interest or the interests of other stockholder and accordingly, they could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements which we would not otherwise consider.
The issuance of shares under our convertible debentures agreements could increase the total common shares outstanding by 7%.
While the debentures are subject to restrictions on conversion, upon default the holders of the debentures could convert such debentures into approximately 43,975,391 shares based on the market price on September 30, 2007. Such issuances would reduce the percentage of ownership of our existing common stockholders and could, among other things, depress the price of our common stock. This result could detrimentally affect our ability to raise additional equity capital. In addition, the sale of these additional shares of common stock may cause the market price of our stock to decrease.
Seaway Valley Capital Corporation is not likely to hold annual shareholder meetings in the next few years.
Delaware corporation law provides that members of the board of directors retain authority to act until they are removed or replaced at a meeting of the shareholders. A shareholder may petition the Delaware Court of Chancery to direct that a shareholders meeting be held. But absent such a legal action, the board has no obligation to call a shareholders meeting. Unless a shareholders meeting is held, the existing directors elect directors to fill any vacancy that occurs on the board of directors. The shareholders, therefore, have no control over the constitution of the board of directors, unless a shareholders meeting is held. Management does not expect to hold annual meetings of shareholders in the next few years, due to the expense involved. Thomas Scozzafava, who is currently the sole director of Seaway Valley Capital Corporation, was appointed to that position by the previous directors. If other directors are added to the Board in the future, it is likely that Mr. Scozzafava will appoint them. As a result, the shareholders of Seaway Valley Capital Corporation will have no effective means of exercising control over the operations of Seaway Valley Capital Corporation.
Investing in our stock is highly speculative and you could lose some or all of your investment.
The value of our common stock may decline and may be affected by numerous market conditions, which could result in the loss of some or the entire amount invested in our stock. The securities markets frequently experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that affect market prices for securities of companies generally and very small capitalization companies such as us in particular.
The volatility of the market for Seaway Valley Capital Corporation common stock may prevent a shareholder from obtaining a fair price for his shares.
The common stock of Seaway Valley Capital Corporation is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. It is impossible to say that the market price on any given day reflects the fair value of Seaway Valley Capital Corporation, since the price sometimes moves up or down by 50% or more in a week's time. A shareholder in Seaway Valley Capital Corporation who wants to sell his shares, therefore, runs the risk that at the time he wants to sell, the market price may be much less than the price he would consider to be fair.
Our common stock qualifies as a "penny stock" under SEC rules which may make it more difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares of our common stock.
Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the holders of our common stock may find it more difficult to obtain accurate quotations concerning the market value of the stock. Stockholders also may experience greater difficulties in attempting to sell the stock than if it were listed on a stock exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ National Market or the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market. Because our common stock does not trade on a stock exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market or the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market, and the market price of the common stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock qualifies as a "penny stock." SEC Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those who qualify as an "established customer" or an "accredited investor." This includes the requirement that a broker-dealer must make a determination on the appropriateness of investments in penny stocks for the customer and must make special disclosures to the customer concerning the risks of penny stocks. Application of the penny stock rules to our common stock affects the market liquidity of the shares, which in turn may affect the ability of holders of our common stock to resell the stock.
Only a small portion of the investment community will purchase "penny stocks" such as our common stock.
Seaway Valley Capital Corporation common stock is defined by the SEC as a "penny stock" because it trades at a price less than $5.00 per share. Seaway Valley Capital Corporation common stock also meets most common definitions of a "penny stock," since it trades for less than $1.00 per share. Many brokerage firms will discourage their customers from purchasing penny stocks, and even more brokerage firms will not recommend a penny stock to their customers. Most institutional investors will not invest in penny stocks. In addition, many individual investors will not consider a purchase of a penny stock due, among other things, to the negative reputation that attends the penny stock market. As a result of this widespread disdain for penny stocks, there will be a limited market for Seaway Valley Capital Corporation common stock as long as it remains a "penny stock." This situation may limit the liquidity of your shares.
