Re: Pinnacle's Stock Challenge
Thanks Manlyman for the tip. Silverado also has an alternative energy component in Silverado Green Fuel made from low rank coal - abundant in the U.S. to allow 250 -300 yr supply. Very under-appreciated partly due to crazy politics - can be produced for $15 -20/barrel of oil energy equivalent. If oil goes into $ 80 -100 range again this could change things. U.S. Air Force is seriously interested in CTLF right now! If memory serves me correct, U.S. has 47 % of the world's low rank coal.
Re: Pinnacle's Stock Challenge
Don't be blinded by the gold tradde or you'll miss the tech and alternative energy oportunities. ETLY is one of those alternative nergy companies that could really work out this year.
Re: Pinnacle's Stock Challenge
Very wise decision! July could be our month - we're long overdue for breaking news! Gold is just starting to simmer - we haven't seen anything yet. We sure are in "the perfect place at the perfect time!" 100's of Millions in present day infrastructures in place & a potential mother-lode that could knock our socks off!
Re: Pinnacle's Stock Challenge
Great win Tnt. ETLY is my choice for this month. July has been deemed the make or break month for the company by a lot of its shareholders on the boards.
Re: Pinnacle's Stock Challenge
Silverado Gold Mines has my pick.
Very liquid and room to move!
Monthly Recap For June's Stock Challenge
Another month behind us and another Stock Challenge has concluded. June’s Stock challenge was dominated by Pinnacle member TNT , from Norfolk Virgninia, who jumped out to an early lead in week 1 after picking Alternate Energy Holdings (AEHI:OTCPK). The stock skyrocketed in the first 5 trading days of the month, increasing 300% and never giving up the lead despite YUKON_JADE’s best attempt at catching TNT (Yukon_Jade selected AZG:TSXV which increased 113% for the month of June). AEHI concluded the month up 200%! We’d all like to replicate that return on a monthly basis - Great pick TNT and welcome to the Stock Star Club!
The Top 10 Leader Board consisted of many new faces and not one previous challenge winner, the first time that has ever happened. Other than the top three finishers (TNT, YUKON_JADE and FACDIEMMEAM) the overall returns for this month’s challenge were poor with a 0% return making it into the TOP 10. Over 100 contestants finished the month with a negative return on their selection – a new record; no one said this was easy!
About Alternate Energy Holdings Inc.
AEHI is an alternate energy and generating company focused on the purchase, optimization, and construction of green energy sources – primarily nuclear power plants.
Under the direction of its highly distinguished Board, they seek to evolve with the growing needs of the energy market to provide reliable, low cost, large scale power production, as well as exceptional value to stakeholders.

Re: Pinnacle's Stock Challenge
Silverado Gold Mines is poised for a major breakout. Nolan gold & antimony property in Alaska is likely worth Billions. Pre-Feasibility Study by independent internationally respected geologist Tom Bundzten on June 1 09 (205 pages) indicates economic viability of property. Further exploratory drilling will move indicated reserves to proven reserves re gold & antimony. All the infrastructures are in place - ready to move from exploration to production.
Company has existed for 45 yrs. & has potential to now be world class. No antimony production in U.S. since 2,000. 90% antimony from China who are now hoarding it & restricting exports - tremendous potential for Silverado here. Recently 3- 100 M $ credit line available. Also has Silverado Green Fuel from low ranked coal as fuel alternative - $15-20 barrel of oil equivalent - non hazardous, non- flammable, non-corrosive, environmentally friendly - could employ 4,000 families at each Commercial Plant site & allow U.S. to become more energy independent. 250 - 300 yr. supply of low rank coal in U.S. China interested in Silverado`s advanced technology!
Price currently at ridiculously low level - despite dilution necessary during tough economic times, this stock has explosive potential. Was around $10 U.S. during last gold rush in 1980 - worth watching now that Nolan property is proving to be a real gem. Serious interest now from many sources re financing - the best is yet to come!

XDM - 3x EPS undervalued small cap paying a dividend
Xentel Inc. (XDM.V) Investor Relations: Caren Holtby, Email: carenh@xentel.com, Tel: 866-204-9861
Xentel just declared another marvelous quarter in relation to its current trading price. 573k of net profits(+.022$/share EPS) bodes well for 2009 dividend possibilities. This is one of the rare penny stock which "pays while you wait". Michael Platz is delivering on his word. Shareholders just received +.02$/share dividend on may 29th and based on follow up performance, it seems we are in for a repeat in 2009, as the company declared a 2 cents dividend on 1.5M$ profits in 2008.
Now remember the float is shrinking with the share buyback; profit wise, they already raked in more than a third of 2008 profits with Q1 2009, so it's possible the dividend can be raised in 2009.
Q1 summary
• trading way below book value of 0.43$/share
• positive working capital per share of 0.144$/share
• roughly 24M$ of revenues this quarter, over 450 clients , and thousands of employees in over 30 offices across North America
• positive cash flow from operations and virtually no long term debt
• positive net earning in Q1 of +.022$/share
• Insiders own roughly 60% of the float
• nation wide Shriner tour recently announced, which confirms support for Xentel services
• calender of events looks full, see the link attached: http://www.xentelevents.com/xentools/xentelevents/www.xentools.com/xennet420dev/Events/siteCalendar/calendar98a9.html?month=5&year=2009
• as Q4 and Q1 have been announced, the blackout period will be lifted
• Xentel generated 1.5M$ of profits in 2008 and almost 5M$ in cash from operations. • in 2008, Xentel repaid two long term debt payments - 921,000 (US subordinated term loan) is now paid off fully (921k was the amount left in 2007) - 278,000 (US subordinated term loan) is now fully paid off (278k was left to pay at end of 2007)
So in 2009, if you consider they are already ahead on 2008 metrics, and they don't have to disburse over 1M$ to repay down long term debts, they could pay .05/share dividend. It's not impossible.
5 cent dividends = .05 x 25M shares out. = 1.25M$ payout. They already generated this much cash flow from operations in Q1 alone...
Re: Pinnacle's Stock Challenge
The next step is the re-zone vote where the county commissioners know the vote will be public and the public is in favor 6 to 1 to re-zone the land.
Given that all the buying lately and the funding announcement that was just made may be an indication of the vote.
Mr. Gillispie has already done extensive ground work on the site for water and ground stability and here again I could not imagine that Source Capital Group would be willing to sign any venture that was not first examined for the possibility of success.
The county vote is on re-zoning industrial but it is not a secret that there will be a nuclear power plant on that site and again I can't imagine that all this is not taken into consideration. Mr. Gillispie has done an excellent job on educating the public on the safety and reliability of nuclear power especially these new units.So I do not foresee any problem on local permits.
The NRC COL license should be the last permit and this permit has not been denied to any company that has the experience and qulaified personell to operate the unit and here again this team, including Mr.Gillispie has over 200 years experience in running nuclear power plants with an impecable record.
The bottom line is this there will be 3700 construction jobs started and all the related bussiness that will be needed then 500 plant jobs to operate this unit which could make over $2,000,000.00 a day in profit. This will be around a 5 to 7 billion dollar project that in this stage is selling at this price. Further down the road closer to the actual construction I would imagine the price will be much higher.
So the question is do I buy now or do I buy later? I wonder what questions were asked when Bill Gates was building computers in his garage? All I can answer for is myself and I am buying.
