OT OT OT People interested in a HIGHLY speculative investment with potentially spectacular returns might look at Energy Biosystems ENBC. I have been playing this stock for over 18 months because it was doubling in a day and dropping back over 2-3 months then doubling again in a day. It did this 4 times for me in just over one year. Now, because of the new Clinton EPA Sulphur level guidelines and a 22 page report by Polaris capital, the stock began SLOW ACCUMULATION in mid-December, rising from $2 to just past $5 today. The Polaris report assigns a "fully-diluted present valuation of $68.25 per share for ENBC." The 22 page report is an in-depth analysis, and is a MUST READ before any investment decision. They indicate they may be 6 months or less away from having their genetically engineered bacteria being commercially viable. If they announce this, the stock could explode overnight to a 10-20 bagger. If they fail or are delayed, the stock could retreat back. Again, this is highly speculative. I am long 12K shares at just under $2 1/2. See my posts on the ENBC thread for a link to the Polaris report.

The Total Outstanding consists of shares that are owned and those that make up the Float. The Float are those shares in the public market and not subject to sales restriction. Hence all Supply demand issues of a given days trade happen against the float. ie The Float increases on days Insider sales pass SEC regs and become public shares, or specific other events happen. Insider shares held are in the total Outstanding until sold into the market.( directors & officers ) Shares which are pending conversion from debentures warrants or options are not yet in the float, once they are converted they become part of the float & part of the Total Outstanding. Shares help by Institutions Are in the Float. The Float is a Relative constant, hence our ability to measure supply and demand is directly tied to market action against the float.
