I hope all are having a great weekend so far --- I see we are holding up nicely. I found the below past article that I thought might clarify the situation a bit --- it seems that on the one hand, we must be patient until the gov't. shutdown ends.

But on the bright side, it is giving the parties involved time to finalise work arrangements and/or buyout terms.

The way this stock is wound up, I don't think we have much longer to wait !!

The excitement is building !!

I smell pennies to dollars $$$$$$$$ !!!!

Go $$$ ACLP $$$ !!!

DoD to Award Contracts Throughout Shutdown, But Won't Announce Them
Oct. 1, 2013 - 03:45AM | By MARCUS WEISGERBER


WASHINGTON — The Pentagon will continue to award hundreds of millions of dollars in acquisition, services and other types of contracts despite a government-wide shutdown, but don’t expect to hear about them.

The US Defense Department will not publicly announce contracts during the shutdown, Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen, a Pentagon spokesman, wrote in an email.

But that should not stop the military services and defense agencies from signing pacts for equipment, supplies and other items.

The Pentagon will do “one big announcement” of the contracts awarded during this period when the shutdown ends, Christensen wrote.

So how is this possible? It is because the money being used to sign the deals was appropriated by Congress in prior years.
