BAMM again. BLQN will announce TOMORROW a $16M order - how much will this

[CHOPTALK]

Guys. If you have some BLQN hold it for at least 30 more days. I firmly believe that this stock will be trading on the NASDAQ this time next year. For that to happen they need more big orders. The company stays quite which I hate but if this company just spent $10K a month on IR/PR they'd be trading with volume over $1.50 a share. I think these guys go big.

That cant be done. The reason why 90% of OTC stocks go from OTC to AMEX is because the listing requirements are so stiff(nasdaq) if you did not have a high profile IPO underwritten by one of the big boys like Sachs or JP Morgan.

It is not possible for BLQN to be on the Nasdaq any time soon, even if they get billions of dollars worth of orders.

Listing Standard No. 1
The company must have aggregate pre-tax earnings in the prior three years of at least $11 million, in the prior two years at least $2.2 million, and no one year in the prior three years can have a net loss.

Listing Standard No. 2
The company must have a minimum aggregate cash flow of at least $27.5 million for the past three fiscal years, with no negative cash flow in any of those three years. In addition, its average market capitalization over the prior 12 months must be at least $550 million, and revenues in the previous fiscal year must be $110 million, minimum.

Listing Standard No. 3
Companies can be removed from the cash flow requirement of Standard No. 2 if the average market capitalization over the past 12 months is at least $850 million, and revenues over the prior fiscal year are at least $90 million.

A company has three ways to get listed on the Nasdaq, depending on the underlying fundamentals of the company. If a company does not meet certain criteria, such as the operating income minimum, it has to make it up with larger minimum amounts in another area like revenue. This helps to improve the quality of companies listed on the exchange.

It doesn't end there. After a company gets listed on the market, it must maintain certain standards to continue trading. Failure to meet the specifications set out by the stock exchange will result in its delisting. Falling below the minimum required share price, or market capitalization, is one of the major factors triggering a delisting. Again, the exact details of delisting depend on the exchange.

I had heard AMEX by year end until now. Some azzwipe said NASDAQ today but it looks like that will be tough and not possible anytime soon if everythign yous ay is accurate.

Good stuff. Hey, I want to make a big Natural Gas play. I've been watching it for 2 years off and on. Energy sector taking off. Inflation coming. Dollar not solid. many of the natural gas stocks are same price as last year. Watch out man. It's almost time that sheeeet pops. I think we are at least at a bottom. Any good ETF's I should look at? I'm not sure about UNG. Maybe FCG? I don't freaking know. FCG sounds pretty good to me I just don't like it's $22. I think the price of NG is going to double sometimes this year. Maybe triple. Thoughts? Last time I had this feeling was about 2002 and I bought a healthy amount of silver and gold. The hard sheet. Gold was $270 an ounce and silver near $4.35. I told my wife, "Let's put $160K into this." She's like, "Are you stupid? I hate you. Die Die Die." We settled on $50K. That was a sweet buy. I'm going to get nailed in taxes someday. Oh, she also told me to die when I told her we should sell our houre in rent in 2007 because the market would crash and our house had more than doubled. I thought I was rich. Again the bitch told me to die and she hated me and then the home is down about $500K. hahahaa. We have like $70K equity left. That will probably be wiped out in a year or two.

Good luck boys.

Sounds like your best investment would be to pay someone to get rid of your wife... Ha! Kidding bud! I agree with your assessments on NG, but am also caught up on what to do. let's all get this figured out and grow...GL to all!!

 

[Art_Vandalay]

lol. Nice one Matty. Trust me, I've thought about it but having her stick around is like getting a free babysitter 24/7.

I bought UNG the day I posted and its' up 3 days in a row. I'm hoping that goes back to $140.00. It's around $11.00. I don't believe this is the best Natrual Gas play.I'm looking at the companies that lay the NG pipes, producers, ext.

Reasons I like it are same as I said. It appears to be at the bottom. NG can't really be much cheaper 'its seems.' Dollar may collapse. Inflation. Energy sector. In short, lower risk, high reward.

 

[tiznow]

SBR my top choice for the long haul (i'd wait for a big dip to buy pretty richly priced right now)....royalty trust where you own oil and natty gas producing land......the oil companies drill it out for you and you get a cut....continues to replenish its lowballed estimate reserves as more shale gas comes into play, as the oil industry develops better techniques to drill etc....

UNG is horrible its not a bet on spot natty gas play its rolls forward short term future contracts which have been in contango forever.....thus its continual march downwards.....

BLQN gone back to being completely illiquid for the most part after.....i'm gonna pass even trying to nab some at 80 cents.....too many question marks....GL

also don't expect the actual price of natty gas to explode between shale gas in canada and the US there is a TON of supply....canada basically the saudi arabia of shale gas.......the problem is it economical to compete vs. oil and such......as well as congress starting to look into the environmental impact of hydraulic fracturing....

you should focus on the companies that will be helped by an increase in exploration, production, and consumption of natural gas.... not the price of natty gas itself (UNG)

 

[Art_Vandalay]

Find me one Tiz. I also think that when the dollar starts crashing that natural gas will be re-priced. I look for that price to shoot up when the dollar breaks $74 and I think that time is closer than you think.

You are more sophisticated than me for sure with this stuff. I will sell my UNG and look for something else but if I'm right and the actual price, in dollars, doubles (NG) then UNG should really bounce right? It's really a short the dollar play to me.

I like what you are thinking though.

I would never say this if I didn't feel like it's time to buy. BLQN will be trading over $1.50 with volume within 45 days. Take it or leave it but I have a strong feeling this will happen. It would not shock me if the suprise me at all if the stock is trading over $2.50. BLQN should be trading over $1.50 as is but one of the shareholders called me and asked me for the 3rd time if he could buy 50% of my shares at $1.05. I know this fawk. I have a few reasons to believe some big sheeet is going to happen. I could be wrong but I told my dad to sit at 90 cents today then move up a little. Told him not to let anybody get on top of him. We'll see if he gets any.

 

[tiznow]

not really any good way that i know to strickly play the natty gas price through the traditional equity markets.......

if i thought natty gas were ready to explode in price (which i personally don't) i probably nab a royalty trust that deals almost solely in natty gas....HGT and DMLP are two in that category that come to mind.........SBR has quite a bit of oil production and will follow the flux of oil prices alot more......

or maybe just a CHK or something like that......a traditional natty gas play

 

[tiznow]

overall i think royalty trust in the oil and natty gas areas are the best "bagholding" plays you can make looking at the long term of the next 20-30 years....be patient....buy in on the dips.....

not really the best thing to use if you are looking to trade an increase in natty gas prices or whatever.....

regardless of what happens going forward regarding all this overall economic/monetary madness....too many people and too few resources.....is the #1 issue for the world at large

 

[tiznow]

list of some traditional (non royalty) natty gas guys....which ones best i haven't a clue.....but all should appreciate if natty gas prices take off......UNG could too not saying it won't.....but its got a very shady history....and if you are wrong you could lose your ass.....while you won't lose it as much in other areas IMO......

SD, PXD, BEXP, CHK, NBL, STR, NFX, XEC

 

[Art_Vandalay]

Thanks Tiz. I was looking at CHK. Seemed pricy but it's not pricy if the NG prices do take off. I know why you don't think they will take off. We have endless supplies of it. haha. I still think it takes off as the dollar crashes. It will have to re-price itself for the worthless dollars especially if oil stays high or goes higher.

I have a call into my financial guy and curious what he says. If he has anything interesting ot say I'll post it.

 

[tiznow]

actually now that i look all these natty gas guys have really blow up during the last two years with the overall speculative equity bubble.....

anyway more i look more confused i get as is usually the case

i really don't have a good recommendation at this point....do some research and make you own decision....just mainly saying UNG has a super shady history....where you could lose your ass even though natty gas prices stay flat with the contango issue......

 

[tiznow]

only way i really see natty gas going bonkers is if congress starts to mess with um big time on the hydraulic fracturing front and puts in alot of rules and regulations etc.......there is alot of worry starting to pop up regarding groundwater contamination and such......

oil at these prices with the economy in this shape it is (wages flat for the little guy) are unsustainable just like they were back in 2008 regardless of what Ben does......

they will take a nose dive again at some point....when who knows.....

 

[tiznow]

Also one i have on my watch list for the long haul is CLNE

they do natty gas fueling stations for vehicles....recently had UPS sign a contract with them etc.....think natty gas powered vehicles will be a huge growth market looking at the long term (20+ year trend)

 

[tiznow]

man i'm looking around and the oil will never be below 100 again are blowing their trumpets again...at least they aren't saying oil going to 300 like last time at least not yet...LOL

we are in the midst of a depression people

 

[tiznow]

another one to throw on your watchlist for the long haul is KMI.....they do strictly the pipelines......that's one area we need a shitton more of pipelines to pipe all this natty gas and oil around........it IPO'd recently and is very richly priced at this stage of the game IMO....but something to keep your eye on for down the road.....

 

[Art_Vandalay]

Thanks for the KMI. Will look into this. CLNE is Boon Pickens deal. When market collapsed in 2008 I almost jumped on CLNE and Westport at $3.00 each. I actually like Westport more but both I like a lot.

www.gonaturalgas.com is my buddies company. He's an engineer that I've known for years. Great guy. Hard worker but he's put in many CNG stations, DIsney and many others but he finally built his own in Orange County. He has 3 more going in. They are killer. He's only charging $1.90 a gallon and he's killing it. THat is basically the CLNE model except CLNE wont' build a station without an anchor tenant. Tim built his without it and the tenants came to him. We may take this company public. My company offers services for public companies like Finanical Printing, EDGAR, XBRL, ext. I also have a consulting side of the company that helps companies raise money. My little group brough in most of the first round to BLQN at $1.00 a share about two months before the collapse in 2008. I got some stock for putting that together but I also invested $150K at a buck a share myself just because I loved the deal. I probably picked up another 20K shares in 2010 under $1.00. I'm all in on this. It's just a big gamble but I wouldn't sell at a buck if I could.

 

[CHOPTALK]

My specialty, my field. Oil and Gas.

I have a really good natural gas play.

A company that just IPO'd a month ago. UAN is the symbol.
Cant think of a better natural gas play.
Its a sub company of CVR Energy.
Its a nitrogen fertilizer business.

The reason why its a great natural gas play is because the way UAN produces its fertilizer.
They are the only company that does not rely on natural gas to produce the fertilizer.
They use a petroleum coke gasification process to produce its fertilizer.

They have really high margins over there competitors because of this process. There cost is fixed unlike competitors whos cost goes up alot! when the cost of natural gas goes up.

Every other competitors cost is 90% based on the cost of natural gas. So if natural gas goes up these guys are going to dominate the market when it comes to margins.

And best yet, this brand new company is coming right out the gate with a $1.93 per share dividend, which is an 11% yield.

Get in early, like I said they just started less then a month ago being publicly traded.
You can get in early. There market cap is less then a billion. They are tremendously undervalued.

 

[CHOPTALK]

The level 2 screen is starting to show some promise for BLQN.

Not a lot of people are wanting to sell right now.
You can only market order a few thousand shares at less then 1.20.
Of course this does not mean a ton for a stock with such low volume, but it does indicate that if you want to buy the stock, its going to cost you more money then you are bidding.

Any kind of positive sign will drive this thing up to over $2.00 a share.
There are a lot of believers in this stock.
Unless some idiot market sells a ton of shares, like what happened a few weeks ago, the price on this stock is about to go up.

There are only 5K shares for sale right now. The supply is low.

All we need is the slightest of good news.

 

[gonaturalgas]

i think what we need is coming in the next 2 weeks from today.

 

[tiznow]

definitely putting that UAN on my watchlist.....

just can't jump into a fertilizer play when i think the ag space and markets in general are in one huge bubble ready to pop....but definitely something i'll be considering longer term for down the road.....
