    I was trying to figure out the potential financial impact. I read somewhere that there would be a total of up to 1000 balloons deployed - not sure if that is correct. I have been on the road, but I am going to try to contact the company (with low expectations of hearing an answer!).

    Theoretically, before. Something like 8/09 (I think it's 40 days). I say theoretically because they or any company can always file a little late.

    Do you have any feel for how much per balloon they could make?

  • Good News Is On The Horizon For Linn Energy Investors [View article]
    Yes, I thought BrycefromTX made some great arguments. I can't remember who was going at him so viciously.

    The E&P MLPs do have a structural problem. Many have been overvalued it seems.

    rlp2451, weren't you very bullish on LINE before? If you changed your mind, why?

  • Book Review: 'You're Welcome Planet Earth: The Most Powerful Trading System Ever Publicly Revealed' [View article]
    I don't know how to do it. I also didn't know how one might blow up the graphics either.

    I am glad that you found it interesting, as I did too. As I said, I met Harry several years ago and have stayed in touch (we are both in Houston). He is one bright guy. He tells me that he has clients employing the strategy, but he also has several different variations that are a bit more complex and offer better risk-reward.

    Apology accepted. Again, I had no idea that the book cost so much!

    There is a back-story. While it wasn't relevant to the review at all, it does help explain the steep price tag. Let's just say that for whatever reason, Harry isn't really trying to sell a lot of copies...

  • Being On The Frontier Of Marijuana Prohibition Is Tough Business [View article]
    Wagonwheel, uplisting refers to the stock getting off the pinks and onto OTCBB. There are some rules. One is that the stock has to close above .10 for I believe 90 consecutive days, and this could be at risk. More importantly, though, they have to provide 2 years of audited financials. They currently have 2, but it has to be done by a qualified auditor. I am not an accountant, but it is my opinion that Q1 could be ok but Q4 is not going to pass muster. They likely will have to restate 2011 and 2012. Another poster (cool_scirocco here) has suggested that the company will bag 2011 and work on getting 2012 in proper order. The net result is that it won't be possible to uplist until 2014 at the earliest. The company has been promising this since Llamas and HDCC came in 2011.

    Sorry, as I didn't know it was $200. I certainly understand your sentiment and wish that Harry had told me that the price matched the bravado of the title. It definitely won't be on the NYT Bestsellers list! Maybe Harry will get some of these ideas into the public domain.
