I've been looking at NVIC for a few days now, and I like it. The company uses patented technologies that combine municipal sewage sludge, animal waste, or lawn waste with waste ash from power plants and factories to produce a safe, fully approved agricultural soil supplement. Addresses 3 critical environmental issues simultaneously. Company is fully reporting and profitable. Here are some useful DD links:

Response to an e-mail I sent to Terry Logan:

Dear Mr. Rogers:

Thank you for your interest in NVIC. As you may or may not be aware, I am a Professor at Ohio State University and I have worked in the area of organic waste management for 25 years. I am also a director of NVIC and for the last 10 years I have supervized the Company's in-house and cooperative R&D programs. I got involved in NVIC because I was so impressed with the technology, and nothing I have seen since makes me believe otherwise. We have several strong patents and we have recently filed a patent to treat animal manures that we plan to bring to the marketplace in two years. Along those lines, we are just starting a highly visible R&D program with USDA at their research headquarters in Beltsville, MD. The Company has undergone significant changes in it's business plan in the last two years that are now beginning to show results. We slashed our overhead drastically and now rely heavily on a rep network to so most of our selling. We are moving into new business areas that are complimentary to our core, namely services to our licensees in the procurement of the alkaline materials used in our technology, and marketing of our product, N-Viro Soil. We are also seeing great interest internationally in our technology; most of that, unfortunately, is in Asia but we expect to have several palnts in Asia in the next two years. We have a growing presence in Europe with two plants on line in England and two more in design/construction, and one plant in operation in Belgium. We will install our first plant in Israel next year. We expect that our financial performance, as indicated in the last five quarters or so, will continue. More importantly, I believe we have the management that will position us for strong gowth domenstically and internationally in the next two years. Please feel free to contact me if you have other questions.

Vacation time is over. I am thinking about trying an option play on AVEI. I called I/R today at this up and coming company in the minimally invasive surgical field. I spoke with Diane Lefebrve who told me earnings would be announced July 20th after the close.

I think they will be very good. Now the stock is not a $5 and under play but from a technical standpoint it is looking very good indeed. Brenda Greer is going to help me pick a decent call strategy tomorrow. Wish me luck as I have never tried options before! Here is the latest TA update on AVEI:

Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) indicates a BULLISH TREND
Chart pattern indicates a WEAK UPWARD TREND
Relative Strength is BULLISH
Up/Down volume pattern indicates that the stock is under ACCUMULATION
The 50 day MOVING AVERAGE is rising which is BULLISH
The 200 day MOVING AVERAGE is rising which is BULLISH
Stochastics indicate stock is OVERBOUGHT

RECOMMENDATION

STOCK IS A BUY; STOCK IS OVERBOUGHT; WAIT FOR PULLBACK TO INITIATE NEW POSITION

Hope you had a great 4th of July!

Regards, Jeff
