GREAT NEWS TODAY for those who understand business and realize how close we are to what sniper optimistically termed:

"one of the best turnarounds in history!"

( http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=AIPN&read=48364 , emphases added).

BTW, for those with the eyes to see (and even a modicum of kindness in the heart) it is evident that what some of the best posters here (Doc, Spin, Sniper, et al.) have been reporting all along is definitely IN THE WORKS.

Furthermore, as anyone who has been involved with business knows, it is impossible to know the exact timing for which deals will be struck and contracts signed.

This becomes even more of a guessing game as the deals become more complex and numbers involved larger. And when one of the deals involves a shipment of crude, as handstramp pointed out at DOC$ AIPN board ( http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=AIPN&read=47719 ), many others factors need to be considered.

I think this PR also signals the fact that George Faris (GF) is on the w out and Jim Knight (JK) will be at the helm from now on.

From this news, and if all goes well, the following could (should?) all take place:

1. A multi-year, profitable, refinery contract
( http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=AIPN&read=47411 , http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=AIPN&read=47147 ).

2. Debbers eliminated (watch what happens to the pps at this point!).

3. A deal on 1551.

4. More drilling on 953.

Can you imagine what the price per share will be at (especially compared to the present pps) if drilling starts on 953 (which gave us a 533% increase last time, with nothing else happening), the refinery is running full out year round (with a contract with a major!), the debbers are gone (and can't hold the pps down, as now) and a good deal on 1551 has already been signed (hint: see http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=AIPN&read=31450 ).

With that said, here is the news (below, with emphases added) for anyone who missed it.

If you can read between the lines (or pick up on the emphases) you still have time to make yourself a bundle of money on this stock.

The big hits are coming, it is only a matter of time now!!!

GOOD TIMES COMING FOR AIPN!

FWIW & IMO

P.S. Almost forgot, but it is very nice to see that AIPN has responded directly to shareholder requests for an update (again see DOC$ AIPN board for more information).
