Good summary about ICVI from Jason. Must read for newbies
Bill,
I just wanted to pass this on to you. I have a friend who is opening an E*Trade
account, and is considering investing in ICVI. I sent the information below to
him to help answer any questions he had about what is going on with the company
right now. I have collected information and DD from several SI posts, as well
as the PR that came out Thursday, and pieced them together to give a summary of
what we've learned over the last 5 days or so. You may post this on SI if you
wish, as it may help newer readers catch up on what has been going on this past
week. The information I've gathered here is the result of a lot of great DD
done by several SI members and ICVI thread posters, and I hope that they do not
mind my doing this. I also edited the message at the end that was sent to you
by another SI lurker to reflect the correction he made in his follow-up e-mail
to you. None of what I've collected here is a result of any DD I've done. I
have merely restated what others have already said. You may post or not post
this as you see fit. Good luck to you, me and every other ME-head!!
Jason (definitely still holding ...)

Collected Information/Opinions/DD on ICVI/Mountian Energy:
ICVI (International Casino Cruises, Inc.) has acquired 100% of Mountain Energy,
an "oil and gas concern based in Houston, Texas", per press release dated 6:04
A.M. EST on Thursday, May 21.
The aquisition "will be paid with 50,000,000 restricted common shares only".
"Mountain Energy owns and controls the mineral rights in West Virginia that
contain approximately 1.98 billion cubic feet of gas and 10,000,000 tons of
coal, as well as other properties that all combined, have an estimated fair
market value in excess of $200,000,000 with approximately 70,000,000 shares
outstanding after the acquisition. This translates to approximately $2.85 per
share."
"The paperwork will be filed immediately to change the corporate name to
Mountain Energy, Inc. Mr. Jack Uselton has been named Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer."
Jack Uselton is the head of Mountain Energy. His team has over 200 years of
experience. He has 40 years of experience himself, and loves his work. He said
to one SI poster who talked to him on the phone: "There are other major groups
who really like me." His acquisitions guy was VP at the largest bank in
Houston, his geologist is very senior and has spent his whole life doing
geology, and his management team is composed of business people he knows and
trusts. He will not bring in anyone without a great deal of experience, and he
knows what he is doing. He used to run an energy consulting firm.
ICVI management will resign, as Mountain Energy management will take their
places.
As far as the valuation of Mountain Energy's assets goes, "this is just the tip
of the iceberg". They have several hundred thousands of other acreage that is
not in the current valuation of $200 million in assets. Also, they are in the
process of adding electricity to their available assets. This company is also
in the process of acquiring other assets. One SI poster has been told that they
will be a half billion dollar company within 3-6 months, and a billion dollar
company within 3-5 years. According to Joe Gort, the ICVI PR guy, Mountain
Energy's mineral reserves have been audited and verified by the U.S. Geological
Survey. They have more assets that are under test yet that could be worth an
additional $250 million or so.
Mountain Energy is in an industry where the price-to-book is around 1.5x, which
could easily value the stock at $4.27 ($2.85 x 1.5). This figure does not
include other properties that haven't been announced yet that still are under
test. It also doesn't include mergers and aquisitions that may be done to get
the stock price up high enough to get a NASDAQ listing. The new company could
easily be worth $5-$10 a share. Book value is actually much higher than $2.85,
due to considerable land they own that hasn't been added into the equation yet.
The new company's phone number is (713)-334-4111, and address is Mountain
Energy, 7700 San Felipe Suite 480, Houston, TX, 77063. They will be in this new
office starting Tuesday, May 26.
There will be more news, probably on Thursday, May 28. More aquisitions
announcements within the next 30-40 days. For those wondering about the value
of the land ownings, there will be reports on it released in 60 days or so, 90
at most.
The 50 million restricted shares will not be sold ... not in Mr. Uselton's time.
And, he is very aware of MM's games and shorters. Within 30 days, 45 max. they
will be crushed. He said, "Bank on it."
There are about 18 million shares outstanding, about 13 million of which are in
the float. There is a huge short position in the stock right now. The MMs
possibly have greater than 3 million shares shorted, which is probably why they
dropped the price of the stock so low on Friday. They were taking turns
short-covering, and were helping each other out. As of 1:20 P.M. EST on Sunday,
May 24, SI posters and lurkers (those who read SI posts, but can't post because
they aren't members) control 55% of the float. So far, 150 people have
responded to the request to share how many shares they own, and plan on keeping
for a while, and promised they won't let go before $3. The total so far is
7,139, 476. As one of the SI posters said about the MMs helping each other
cover their shorts on Friday, "We will see how they help each other the next
time around with no float."
One of the guys on SI thread who has been doing a lot of the DD on the new
company, and has been speaking to Jack Uselton said about the stock price, "Can
you believe a 40-50 dollar stock in 1.5 years - easily 20 by end of this year?
If one other thing happens that I can't post now, 20 dollar stock in 3 months."
Lastly ...
One of the SI lurkers sent this to Bill L., the guy who is tallying up how many
shares that SI members and lurkers control:
"I am in the oil & gas business in Houston. Reverse mergers are good.
Transmontaigne, (AMEX Sym: TMG) went from .50 to $17.00 on a reverse merger.
Scheffield Exploration was the name of the shell and now the company is called
Transmontaigne. Make sure the investors understand that ICVI does not exist
anymore. ME [Mountain Energy] does exist and could very possibly get a big
board listing with the assets they are touting. If they get the big board
listing, a nice surprise for the investors. We're talking $15.00 to $20.00 a
share. If we really have the control of 4,000,000 shares+ of the stock, we
control this value. The investors must hold on. You're talking a lot of
millionaires here.
