WILMINGTON, N.C., April 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Earth Energy Inc.'s (GLER.OTCQB). President, Mr. Sydney A. Harland, announces that GLER will acquire an income-producing asset, the Naylor Apartment Complex, located at, 2585 Naylor Road SE, Washington, DC 20020.


Financial details are as follows:

Multi-Units-15
Gross Revenue-$231,135.00
Expenses-$48,739.00
Net Operating Income-$182,396.00
Net Income Available for Cash Flow-$151,997.00.

This acquisition, through an assignment of purchase contract, will be paid for through the issuance of, $2,500,000.00 in Convertible Promissory Note, yielding 2% interest-only (against assignment of rental income & leases), convertible into 10,000,000 shares of GLER common stock.

Instrumental in originating and developing the capital structure for this proposed acquisition was, Mr. Meier (Mack) Frankel, who was recently added to the Board of Directors of Global Earth Energy, Inc. Mr. Frankel is an accomplished financier, and has demonstrated remarkable speed with the consummation of this acquisition. The transaction is expected to close within 30-days.

Nationwide Appraisal Network, LLC, 250 Pine Avenue, Suite A, Oldsmar, FL 34677, Tel: 888-760-8899, issued the compliance certificate for the appraisal. Appraisal was prepared by, Phillip C. Elliott, Certified General Real Estate Appraiser of, Columbia Realty Advisors, Inc., 9601 Baltimore Avenue, College Park, MD 20740. As of, November 30, 2012 said appraisal came in at, $2,000,000.00 Nevertheless, this transaction was still consummated on the merits of a, "cash-less basis," with the purchase of the property for an exchange of a negotiable instrument, namely, through the issuance of a convertible note. Escrow Closing has been decided for method of settlement between parties. Escrow Agent is, Settlement Corp., 5301 Wisconsin Ave. NW #710, Washington, DC 20015, Tel: 202-537-0005.

This transaction is a commercial real estate endeavor under a corporate venture, and has nothing to do with the "loan modifications" of, "inflated mortgages," being undertaken on the non-owner occupied, absentee-ownership, residential properties Mr. Frankel is negotiating with the certain banks.

Mr. Frankel's experience in deal structuring, acquisitions, and structured-financing will be invaluable to Global Earth Energy as it looks to broaden its corporate strategic direction and enhance profitability for the company.

For more information about Global Earth Energy please contact, Mr. Sydney A. Harland or Mr. Meier (Mack) Frankel at 1-910-270-7749 and/or Rich Kaiser, YES INTERNATIONAL, Investor Relations, 757-306-6090, http://www.globalearthenergy.com/

=====================================================================================================
roiresearch has the best analysis concerning the new share structure. Upon the closing of GLER's Reverse Merger being done by Meier (Mack) Frankel, who happens to presently own two very profitable businesses, it is our conclusion that this will be beneficial to current shareholders, IMO.

Consider the possibility. I have two "bios" on Mr Frankel from two PR's. The latter PR says that Mack Frankel is the owner of a Private Company called Mainline Land Co LLC. The first source says "owner" only. Also, he is the owner of Town & Country Commercial Reality. Now if he puts either of his own Private Businesses into this shell we call Global Earth Energy Inc (GLER) then this is going to skyrocket IMO!

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/global-earth-energy-inc-gler-130000200.html

Mack Frankel has been the owner of Town & Country Commercial Realty for the last 15 years located in Spring Valley, New York. Additionally Mr. Frankel is the owner of Mainline Land Co.

And here is "bio" #2 from another PR I found from last year on Frankel:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/sino-cement-inc-announces-appointment-130000077.html

Mr. Frankel, holds a Doctorate Degree from NYU, and has been the owner of, Town & Country Commercial, Inc., for the last 7 years located in, Spring Valley, NY.

Edit: I don't think WGAS has a bounce in it. They have been a printing press. They have had a "yo-yo" like action in the past, but I think even the longs have given up on it. It was such a sad play. Ruined my life for a year! :( lol That's why I haven't posted for such a long time until like a month ago.

But my interests in ZENYF, FSSIF have been awesome.
FEGR did a run up to .0085 or around there. So, I've had moderate success.

BRZG is one of my favorite "long" plays. Just waiting on updates for the Reverse Merger being conducted by Conrad Huss.

does company have bouncer? wgas r/s didn't help/

did mgmt dilute more?

WGAS turned out to be utter crap! lol I got out of that way before the R/S and the firing of the "new" CEO.

wgas /

GLER DD for my own records. We will look back to see how this performs. I bought at .0008 and .0013....

GLER is my play of the week, and maybe the year!

Folks, this GLER has grown on me, both literally and figuratively! Check out my new DD Page on GLER!

BRZG is my "I'm going to get fucking rich" stock. Reverse Merger to hopefully take place soon!

Although I'm not trying to get people into this, I'd like people to look back and see what happens with this one. Perhaps one day you folks will be in awe, or maybe I have delusions of grandeur! lol

This board has been dead because of my job and I never really got it going.
However consider my recent pics:

ZENYF: Canadian Graphite stock. I was moderator of the board for a while and watched it go from the 20 cent range to over 2 dollars. A company that has real value instead of the regular penny junk.

FSSIF: A Uranium stock bought out by Denison Mines. I followed it when it was in the 40 cent range, and it went to over $1 a share.

BRZV: A speculative Oil Stock that I bought at 2 cents and it went to 8.5 cents. It's still a decent play, although risky.

And now, I am in FEGR, LBYE, and BRZG.

FEGR just came out with the 10Q: www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=9225291

FGER confirmed very low share structure. Read it and weep for joy! As of March 12, 2013, there were 32,140,807 shares of the registrant’s $0.001 par value common stock issued and outstanding.

This is very good news IMO. I knew there was more than 10 million shares with the way this traded. But now we have something tangible to work with and the IBOX should be updated to reflect this. The Share Structure is very nice and the 10K shows that they expect 2013 to be a good year for them:

Overview and Mission

Our primary focus is on acquiring leases and wells in established oil fields to minimize risk. We expect to build share value through revenue from oil & gas wells . The Company’s four oil & gas leases have several proven oil and gas zones, and there are many opportunities for in-fill drilling. The Company plans to acquire additional leases in the future.

The following was done in 2012:
·
Sold the Panther Creek lease and discontinued the Mud Creek lease.
·
Acquired the Tyra lease in north central Texas.


The Company plans the following activities in 2013:
·
Complete acquisition of several leases in Texas.
·
Rework a number of wells.
·
Drill several new in-fill wells.
·
Acquire additional leases.

ZEN.V/ZENYF, WGAS, APII, URAGF/UBR.V are the HOT STOCKS! If you lust for money as I do, then get in whilst they are cheap! Most of these are buy and hold and not just quick plays! Do your DD folks!

lol I love money! That's what this board is about!

Your not alone God told me to love the enemy.

Three stocks that will be hotter than hell this week!

ZENYF is my fav!
WGAS looks promising!
PZG has lots of value IMHO!

Also look to APII for a rebound this week!
MEOH will have Earnings on April 25th, so be prepared! With Natural Gas prices so low, their profit margins should be greater overall!

FIG my pick of the week! Check it out!

8:00AM Paramount Gold and Silver Finds Exceptional Grades and Widths in the Northern Portion of Don Ese Deposit in Mexico (PZG) 2.35 : Co reported more high grade assay results from its Don Ese North deposit located less that 1 km east of the Guadalupe underground mine operated by Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation. The Don Ese high-grade gold and silver deposit was discovered by Paramount on its 100%-owned San Miguel Project in Mexico in December, 2010. The first hole drilled into the northern portion of the Don Ese deposit (DS-12-025) generated a 26.1 meter intercept grading 3.88 g/T of gold and 275 g/T of silver (over 8 ounces per ton silver) including one 0.7 meter section grading 46.1 g/T of gold and 2,780 g/T of silver (over 31 ounces per ton silver).

By Ilaina Jonas

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A private equity fund run by Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYS:GS - News) has agreed to sell its stake in the media company that runs a sex trafficking forum back to company's management, a spokeswoman said on Sunday.

GS Capital Partners III on Friday signed a deal to sell its 16 percent stake in Village Voice Media, which owns the website, called Backpage.com.

The fund began negotiations with Village Voice Media in March, after deciding in 2010 that it had grown "uncomfortable with the direction of the company," and Goldman's inability to influence its operations, said Andrea Raphael, a Goldman Sachs spokeswoman.

The sale was first reported in a Nicholas Kristof column in The New York Times on Saturday. The fund's investment was also the subject of a Kristof column last week.

Raphael said the fund invested $30 million in the Village Voice in 2000. The investment was converted into a 16 percent minority stake when the Village Voice merged with New Times Inc in 2006.

She declined to disclose the sales price, but said the fund lost a "vast majority" of its investment.

Village Voice Media was not immediately available for a comment.

Online prostitution advertising generated at least $3.1 million in revenue in February, on five U.S. websites, an increase of 9.8 percent from a year earlier, according to interactive media and classified advertising consultant AIM Group. Nearly 80 percent of the revenue was attributed to Backpage.com, AIM said in a report published March 22.

Village Voice Media owns the alternative newspaper The Village Voice, which was founded in 1955.

Over the years, the newspaper has published groundbreaking investigations and received three Pulitzer Prices. Its back pages, in contrast, have for decades been the bastion of escort service advertising.

Backpage.com also posts lists for hundreds of other classified advertising throughout the country.

Hot picks for the week! MEOH, PPP, AUNFF, perhaps CHBU, blah blah blah...

CHBU is one to watch because there is a lot of fraud lately with Chinese stocks, but their 10Q is amazing and people are starting to notice this one! Methonex is my favorite but it is a long term hold with a dividend of 17 cents per quarter. Look at their chart to see how they have been doing. PPP is the hot gold stock that should see around a 40% gain with all the interest here.

AUNFF is one that's tricky. They have a bunch of warrants that will dilute the stock, but they have two mines that will produce lots of silver which might make up for it. So, they will eventually do either a R/S or a stock buyback. It's a gamble, however they have proven reserves and either way, this is a good buy long term! IMO

Cameco will be more than double its PPS by summer of 2013! Mark my words! Don't forget the 10 cents per share dividend and the fact that the American/Russian agreement runs out in late 2013! What is that you might ask? The Russians are using the Uranium from their old nukes for their nuclear reactors! Add that to the fact that China and India are making lots of Reactors that will be operational and the supply of Uranium won't be able to keep up with demand! I implore you to check into Uranium stocks NOW, because they are cheap as hell and this is your opportunity! You won't get rich overnight, but this is better than a savings or CD account!

MP supports uranium exploration
Rebecca Masters | 30th March 2012 5:26 PM

http://www.mydailynews.com.au/story/2012/03/30/mp-supports-uranium-exploration/

TWEED MP Geoff Provest has supported legislation changes that allow uranium exploration across the state but maintains he is still firmly against any form of mining on the Tweed.

The policy changes follow a request from the federal government for NSW and Victoria to review their prohibition on uranium exploration.

South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory have profitable uranium exploration and mining industries that make Australia the world's third largest exporter of uranium.

Mr Provest said allowing exploration was simply to find out what was in the ground and whether it was a viable resource for the state to capitalise on.

State Labor MP Walt Secord raised his fears in parliament this week that the legislation opened the door to uranium mining throughout the Clarence Moreton Basin on the north coast, potentially contaminating the environment and risking the health of communities in the Tweed.

"In 1986, in a spirit of bipartisanship, the NSW parliament agreed that the potential release of toxic elements could contaminate large areas of land and pollute our rivers," Mr Secord said.

"They knew then, as Labor knows now, that there is still no failsafe way to transport and manage nuclear waste.

"Make no mistake, the government's decision to allow uranium exploration is a huge betrayal."

Outside of parliament, Mr Provest has dismissed Mr Secord's comments as "fear-mongering."

"I dismiss those comments completely," Mr Provest said.

"It's not mining, it's exploration and the last briefing I had was that they were looking at an area south west of Broken Hill.

"I will always be against any form of mining on the north coast, this is simply to give us an idea of what is in the ground."

New South Wales Parliament overturns uranium exploration ban

http://www.miningweekly.com/article/new-south-wales-parliament-overturns-uranium-exploration-ban-2012-03-29

By: Esmarie Swanepoel
29th March 2012


PERTH (miningweekly.com) – The legislation to lift a ban on uranium exploration in New South Wales has passed through the state Parliament, with a 20 to 18 win in the Upper House.

In February, Premier Barry O’Farrell said it was time for New South Wales to join the mining boom, with the first step to be the establishment of the size, quality and location of any potential uranium deposits in the state.

The legislation to allow for uranium exploration was passed through the state Parliament, despite opposition from Greens and Labour representatives.

New South Wales Resources Minister Chris Hartcher said that overturning the ban delivered a new opportunity to create an industry, which would give the state economy a boost.

“This is great news for New South Wales. We must look for every opportunity to join the resource boom under way in Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia,” Hartcher said.

“Overturning the ban on uranium exploration brings New South Wales into line with all other states, excluding Victoria. This sends a message to potential investors in the state that we are supportive of resource investment.”

While the decision to overhaul the uranium exploration legislation has previously been lauded by industry bodies, environmental organisations have been less than happy with the state Parliament’s decision.

The Nature Conservation Council of New South Wales, as well as other national environmental groups, have called for an independent public review into uranium mining in the state, saying O’Farrell had no mandate to change the policy banning uranium projects in the state.

The Nature Conservation Council criticised O’Farrell for not taking the issue to the local communities during the state election period, saying he had no mandate for an initiative that would have such a long-term impact on society and the environment.

“Since Premier O’Farrell announced his intention to open up uranium exploration in this state, thousands of people have signed a petition calling on the government to maintain the uranium ban,” said Council representative Pepe Clarke.

“We urge the government, opposition and crossbench MPs to support a full, robust and independent inquiry into the ramifications of opening up New South Wales to uranium exploration and mining,” Clarke said.

“Premier O’Farrell has said this is not about mining, but about exploration and gathering evidence, so we trust he will support a full, robust and independent inquiry to examine the adequacy of New South Wale’s regulatory regimes, the experience of uranium mining in other jurisdictions and the views of relevant stakeholders,” added the Australian Conservation Foundation’s Dave Sweeney.

In Canada, uranium juniors such as Fission Energy Corp. (FIS-X0.66-0.03-4.35%), which has a property in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin, Kivalliq Energy Corp. (KIV-X0.53----%), which has a deposit in Nunavut, and Strateco Resources Inc. (RSC-T0.450.0051.12%), which is developing the Matoush project in northern Quebec, could be of interest, Mr. Chang said.

Australian State Says Uranium Prospects Attracting China, India

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-03-20/australian-state-says-uranium-prospects-attracting-china-india.html

Chinese and Indian companies are eager to invest in potential uranium resources in New South Wales as the Asian nations add nuclear power plants, said the energy minister of Australia’s most populous state.

“The Chinese are very keen, as are the Indians,” Chris Hartcher, the New South Wales state resources minister, said today in an interview in Sydney. “They want access to the resource. We think there’s huge potential.”

The New South Wales government announced plans last month to overturn a ban on uranium exploration, saying it wants to join the mining boom that’s spurring the economies of Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia states. The exploration ban hasn’t allowed New South Wales to evaluate the size of the potential uranium resource, Hartcher said today.

Olympic Dam, BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP)’s uranium, copper and gold mine in South Australia, “is just over the border” with New South Wales, Hartcher said. “That’s the largest uranium deposit in the world, and we’ve got the same geological structure. Uranium doesn’t stop at the border.”

Australia’s governing Labor Party in December lifted a ban on exports to India to tap energy demand in the country. Australia, holder of the world’s biggest uranium reserves, will begin talks this year to export the nuclear fuel to India, opening a new market for producers such as BHP, the nation’s Resources Minister Martin Ferguson said in December.
Safety Review

China halted new nuclear projects after an earthquake and tsunami in Japan in March last year caused the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl in 1986. Approval of the projects is “very likely” to resume this year as the government completes a safety review, Sun Qin, president of China National Nuclear Corp., said this month.

India, whose nuclear plants comprise about 3 percent of its electricity capacity, is adding safeguards to its atomic program after the Japan accident knocked out power equipment and cooling systems at Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s Fukushima Dai-Ichi plant. India plans to increase its nuclear-generation capacity 13-fold to 60 gigawatts by 2030, according to the Planning Commission.

Uranium exploration and mining is allowed in South Australia, the Northern Territory and Western Australia, according to the Australian Uranium Association’s website. While companies can explore in Queensland, uranium mining is prohibited.

Since exploration hasn’t been permitted in New South Wales or Victoria states, “the extent of resources there is not known,” the uranium industry group says on its website.
Coal-Seam Gas Permits

The New South Wales government plans to begin a process of granting and renewing coal-seam gas exploration licenses in June after keeping them on hold to review the environmental and safety impact of the industry, Hartcher said today.

Some environmental groups and politicians are concerned the projects will damage aquifers, contaminate and deplete water supplies, and diminish the capacity of food-producing land, Deutsche Bank AG said in a report this month.

“The problem with water is if you contaminate it, it’s almost impossible to fix,” the energy minister said. “We have to make sure the process is going to protect underground water, and that’s why a cautious approach is justified.”

China eyes Canadian Uranium Mines!!

Takeover activity is poised to heat up in the Canadian uranium sector as energy-hungry China hunts for feedstock to fuel its growing family of nuclear reactors.

The state-controlled China Daily recently reported that the country plans to buy more uranium mines abroad, and is looking in Canada. China also expects to import more uranium this year as its nuclear program resumes after being halted following Japan’s Fukushima nuclear disaster.

China has 15 reactors in operation and 25 under construction, and plans to build another 50. It imports nearly all its uranium from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Namibia and Australia.

“It comes as a surprise” that China is showing its hand by publicly targeting this country’s miners, which could boost the prices of potential acquisitions, said Versant Partners analyst Rob Chang. But he said the country’s announcement deserves to be taken seriously in the wake of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s decision last month to overturn previous trading bans and permit uranium sales to China for civilian use.

China would most likely focus on buying Canadian “exploration companies with high-quality assets” because there are no ownership restrictions on early-stage firms, Mr. Chang said. However, Ottawa bars foreigners from owning more than a 49-per-cent stake in a company that is mining the metal.

China has already been on the acquisition trail for explorers in Africa. China Guangdong Nuclear Power Corp., its nuclear agency, recently struck a $2.4-billion (U.S.) deal to snap up Australia-based Extract Resources Ltd. (EXT-T8.85----%), which owns a huge uranium deposit in Namibia.

In Canada, uranium juniors such as Fission Energy Corp. (FIS-X0.66-0.03-4.35%), which has a property in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin, Kivalliq Energy Corp. (KIV-X0.53----%), which has a deposit in Nunavut, and Strateco Resources Inc. (RSC-T0.450.0051.12%), which is developing the Matoush project in northern Quebec, could be of interest, Mr. Chang said.

There is industry speculation that the Conservative government will relax its foreign ownership laws on uranium mines. Throne speeches since 2010 have talked about lifting regulations that inhibit the growth of Canada’s uranium industry.

Foreigners are already snapping up Canadian exploration companies. Last year, British mining giant Rio Tinto PLC (RIO-N55.591.152.11%) trumped Cameco Corp. (CCO-T21.41-0.10-0.46%) to buy Hathor Exploration for about $625-million (Canadian). Paladin Energy Ltd. (PDN-T1.91-0.03-1.55%), Australia’s second-biggest uranium miner, acquired the Michelin uranium project in Labrador for $261-million from Fronteer Gold Inc.

Euro Pacific Canada analyst Merrill McHenry, who is bearish on the uranium sector because Japan’s 52 reactors are still shut down, agrees that Fission Energy could be a strategic acquisition for China. If ownership rules don’t change, China could comply by partnering with a player like Cameco when it comes time to extract uranium, he said.

Macusani Yellowcake Inc. (YEL-X0.14----%), which has acquired Southern Andes Energy Inc. and merged their uranium properties in Peru, is also a potential takeover candidate, Mr. McHenry suggested. But those deposits would need to be combined with another project for the play to become economically viable, he added.

The Chinese could buy Macusani Yellowcake and also acquire an additional nearby deposit in Peru from Fission Energy through an outright purchase or joint venture with that company, he said.

“You would then not have a foreign-ownership problem with the Canadian assets [because they are not in Canada].”

China could also become involved with Canadian uranium projects through joint ventures in properties like Paladin’s Michelin project, he said. A three-year moratorium on uranium mining on Inuit lands was lifted this month and the Chinese could help finance the next phase, he said.

“They [Paladin] would need a mill so we are talking about a substantial amount of capital expenditures.”

Hell yes!!!

In Wake of Protests, India Confirms Commitment to Boosting Nuclear Power

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh took his moment at the podium at the Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul this week to reassert India’s commitment to nuclear energy. “We must continue to harness the numerous developmental benefits that nuclear science and technology offer, especially for developing countries,” Singh said in his speech at the summit. “Given India’s growing energy demands, we see nuclear energy as an essential component of our energy mix.”

Singh’s comments, in which he also called for a “world free of nuclear weapons,” sought in part to counterbalance ongoing protests at home over plans to increase India’s nuclear power from less than 5,000 MW today to 62,000 MW by 2032. Last week, some 200 antinuclear activists were arrested in India’s southern state of Tamil Nadu, where protesters have been stalling the construction of two 1,000-MW reactors for more than half a year. The arrests took place the day before construction was scheduled to resume.

(MORE: After Japan: Could India Also Face a Nuclear Crisis?)

The nation’s ambitious nuclear-energy program, kick-started in 2008 after India and the U.S. signed an agreement to end a three-decade ban on nuclear trade, has come under scrutiny from environmentalists and residents in Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, two states where new reactors are slated to be built. The demonstrations have intensified in the year since a tsunami and earthquake crippled the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan, leading to the evacuation of over 150,000 people and the contamination of a large area around the plant. In Seoul, Singh assured the summit (and South Korean investors) that the nation’s nuclear-energy program will not have its own Fukushima moment, having “undertaken comprehensive reviews of nuclear safety measures at our nuclear facilities” and strengthened “emergency preparedness and response to nuclear accidents.”

It remains to be seen whether activists will be convinced. Last April — just weeks into Japan’s ongoing nuclear crisis — heated clashes between police and protesters over plans to build six reactors supplied by French energy company Areva in Maharashtra ended in one death and several injuries. “While we have no presence, nor involvement, on the site, as everybody, we deeply regret the tragic death of a villager during protests,” Areva COO Luc Oursel said in an interview. “We sincerely share the wish that differences of opinion about the project would be settled peacefully and without violence.”

India’s energy demands are only going to increase, and nuclear power features prominently in how New Delhi envisions the nation’s economic and social development over the next few decades. The government’s planning commission estimates that in order to maintain 8% growth through 2030, the country will have to triple its energy supply, according to the Journal of Energy Security. Coal now provides for the vast majority of India’s power demands, but with pressure to lower emissions and domestic opposition to mining in some of its richest coal reserves, the government has been banking on developing a closed-cycle nuclear power program as a cleaner and more self-sufficient energy source. By 2050, New Delhi wants 25% of the nation’s electricity to come from nuclear power, up from less than 5% today. The move has not escaped the attention of countries like France, South Korea, Japan and Russia, all of whom are eager to get in on the growing industry.

Officials, of course, are correct not to underestimate the importance of getting power to the people. In 2009, just 67% of the rural population reported having electricity, according to the International Energy Agency. It’s a figure that has been rising, but slowly. Affordable, reliable electricity for all can literally be the difference between life and death; to give one small example, the World Health Organization attributed over 450,000 premature deaths in India in 2008 to the use of open-burning stoves. Access to energy will be crucial to keeping India on the path of growing prosperity that its citizens and investors have come to expect. And the prospect of being able to secure a domestically produced source of steady power is especially powerful today. Many of India’s key assets are in regions wracked by violence last year, and New Delhi faces increasing pressure from Washington to decrease oil imports from its second largest crude oil supplier, Iran.

(LIST: Power Up: A Guide to Asia’s Nuclear Future)

Fair or not, the centrality of all these things to India’s domestic and foreign policies packs a bigger punch than the voices of a few hundred demonstrators. In a recent interview in the journal Science, Singh chalked the recent protests up to bad foreign influences. “The atomic energy program has got into difficulties because these NGOs, mostly I think based in the United States, don’t appreciate the need for our country to increase the energy supply.” But, he added, dissension will be heard. “We are a democracy,” he told Science. “We are not like China.”

No, but some officials may be looking on a little wistfully as Beijing pushes ahead with its own nuclear power expansion at a breakneck pace. And in Tamil Nadu, official patience has shown signs of wearing thin. A few NGOs involved in the antinuclear protests have been under government investigation for alleged misuse of foreign donations to fund the protests, and some have had their funds frozen, according to Indian media reports. In February, a German national was deported for violating the terms of his tourist visa after he was accused of raising funds for the protests.

Dividend Play Methanex Positioned For 40% Annual Gains
February 10, 2012 | 3 comments | about: MEOH


http://seekingalpha.com/article/358931-dividend-play-methanex-positioned-for-40-annual-gains

Methanex (MEOH) is the world's largest supplier of methanol as a $2.78 billion mid-cap company. Methanol is a substance that is used in a variety of products, including: recyclable plastic bottles, windshield washer fluid, paint, plywood floors, silicone sealants, synthetic fibers, gasoline blending, dimethyl ether, biodiesel, and more. Methanex covers markets in North America, Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and Europe.

It is clearly undervalued with a trailing PE ratio of 14.4, a forward PE ratio of 8.74, a PEG ratio of 0.25, and a price to book ratio of only 1.98.

Methanex's profit and income are healthy and growing with momentum. It has a profit margin of 7.72% and an operating margin of 13.19%. Management has achieved a return on assets of 6.65% and a return on equity of 15.08%.

The company has earnings per share of $2.06 and grew earnings at 129.2% in its last quarter. It has a nice operating cash flow of $479.71 million and levered free cash flow of $144.92 million. Its free cash flow allows Methanex to reward shareholders with a 2.3% dividend.

Its balance sheet is also in good shape, with total cash of $350.71 million, and total debt of $1.01 billion. It has 1.72 times more current assets than current liabilities and a debt to equity ratio of 62.89.

Methanex has met or exceeded earnings estimates in 3 out of 4 quarters in 2011. It missed its 2nd quarter estimates by only 1 cent. It is expected to grow earnings annually at an aggressive 38% for the next five years. When you combine its dividend of 2.3% with this earnings growth, investors can expect to achieve about a 40% total annual yield (dividends plus stock growth). If it can meet its earnings expectations over the next five years, I would estimate the stock price to go from $29 to $145 by 2017.

The company currently has some advantages going for it to achieve this growth. It is benefitting from the low cost of natural gas. It refines natural gas into the liquid alcohol, methanol. Methanol's use as a blend in gasoline is growing in demand in China. So, with natural gas at a low cost, Methanex benefits greatly as that is its primary raw material. The EIA has forecast the price of natural gas to remain low at $3.35 per MMBtu in 2012 and $4.07 MMBtu for 2013.

The company is looking to add a second plant in New Zealand, and is considering opening a plant on the U.S. Gulf Coast, which could be ready by the second half of 2014. CEO Bruce Atkins said, "The outlook for the industry also looks very attractive, as demand growth is expected to significantly exceed new capacity additions over the next few years."

Methanex looks like a solid high-growth investment over the next few years. Although it currently looks overbought, its undervaluation and high earnings make it attractive. I would wait for a little sell-off in the stock before jumping in.

Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

I am restarting this site which I've never really got going in the first place. I have found that Uranium Stocks are the wave of the future! It sucks that all those Asians died in the Earthquake/Tsunami, however this is our opportunity to make lots and lots of money!
I work at Cameco Resources and know a little about the Uranium Market! You will not make lots of cash right away IMO. But now is the time to accumulate! I will be remaking my page and prove to you all that by Dec of 2013 you will make a killing off Uranium!
Stay tuned!

ARTS will get you a first class ticket to hell! lol
I am fully loaded there and expect a big move! IMO
Perhaps we will see the A/S reduced????

Hot stocks for June 1st 1010-June 4th 2010 are MMTC and TSPG. Both plays are long plays for me. Do your DD on these and you will not be disappointed!

Welcome to hell! I want you to discuss the hottest pics in hell and I want you to be free to say what's on your mind! As long as the discussion is hot then I don't care! Burn baby burn!
