QuoteI think things don't get much closer to a sure thing in the stock market. Buy and hold is the only acceptable strategy for HQSM.OB.

I still think this, although the stock fell 7% yesterday. Everything seems to be in order on the fundamental and technical side. Big movements sometimes take time to develop.


David Randolph

HQSM.OB had a 5% rise on Friday, reacting to two days of steep losses. Nothing has changed in the fundamental or technical picture of HQSM.OB which is still very positive, so I'll continue holding this penny stock.

Massive Investor Relations Campaign: Over 1,000 Broker Dealers Targeted by CFSG for HQSM
Monday October 24, 8:08 am ET

NEW YORK, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 24, 2005 -- Consulting For Strategic Growth I, Ltd. (CFSG), an investor relations firm specializing in domestic and international companies new to American financial markets, has been retained by HQ Sustainable Maritime Industries Inc. (OTC BB: HQSM) to launch a massive investor relations campaign on behalf of the Company.

The campaign will include visits to regional broker-dealers in the northeast, introduction of the Company to numerous stock portals, and introductions to the financial and business media. CFSG is targeting over 1,000 broker-dealers in the coming year.

Stan Wunderlich, CEO of CFSG, said, "We are very excited about HQ's dynamic market potential. We enjoyed a relationship with the Company in the past and are pleased to renew it at this important moment in its development. The financial partnership with Amalgamated Resources Holdings Inc, announced this week, provides for loan guarantees of up to $70 million to support HQ's expansion plans. In the last 12 months, the Company, in our opinion, has positioned itself clearly as an international leader in zero-toxin aquaculture by enhancing its vertical integration with an expanded state-of-the-art processing plant, the acquisition of a nutraceutical manufacturing facility, and plans for a zero-toxin feedmill scheduled to open in 2006. This is coupled with new marketing and distribution initiatives, the opening of a new corporate headquarters in Seattle, and new financing. We believe the investment community will soon correct what we believe to be HQ's currently undervalued stock price."

Norbert Sporns, CEO of HQ Sustainable, said, "We worked with Stan and CFSG shortly after we became a public U.S. company and we believe their expertise will once again be important to our growth. We have built the company's fundamental business substantially in the past year, and we are now well positioned in a high-growth international market. We believe CFSG can make our potential clear to key members of the U.S. investment community and the financial and business press."

Nice bit of PR, that.  And more than PR, it feels like a tangible agressive effective committed plan to get the company on the wider radar screens  We like that.

Those are certainly good news bigdogs99999  :)

HQSM.OB is a long term holding of the 3 Pennies on Fire Portfolio, I won't sell without at least a 200% profit.

I'm curious...

This source (http://kbk.hainan.net/english/pre_roo/pre_read.asp?ID=117) states there are 115 million shares outstanding.  However, Yahoo finance reports 100 million outstanding.  Were there 15 million shares issued/brought to market recently?  If so, doesn't the company have to report this?  Or, were these shares issued to secure the $70mil financing?  I'm pretty new to figuring all this stuff out, so if anyone knows any additional info or can fill me in on why there is this discrepency, I would appreciate it!  Thanks for all your help and for the excellent analyses!

Well, on their last 10-Q report it says this:

«As of June 30, 2005,  there were 100,261,523  shares of the registrant's  common
stock outstanding.»

On the link you provided doesn't say if the shares are outstanding or authorized  ???, it says just "shares".

There was no new technical or fundamental information on HQSM.OB, I'll continue holding the stock. It looks like it is setting up for a white marubozu to new highs, we'll see.

it sounds like they are increasingthe numnber of authorized shares, probably for any future acquistions. The important thing is they didn't issue any shares to secure the financing they just received (over $70M credit line from APLS) for future growth. I like the fact that management owns 62% of the outstanding shares. They would not want dilute they own shares. Management actually used their own shares as collateral to secure the recent line of credit they reeceived, instead of issuing new shares.

Does this have any impact on your view of HQSM?

No, those are old news anyway. Though I don't like Preferred Stocks, they diminish the value of Common Stocks.

I'll continue holding HQSM.OB, expecting a white marubozu to new highs after this consolidation phase ends.

David Randolph

I would certainly welcome a pick up in volume. Yesterday it increased a bit to a still very low 200,000 shares traded.

There were no news for HQSM.OB, I'll continue holding it.


David Randolph

Again, no stories to tell about HQSM.OB, no news and just 106,000 shares traded. I'll continue holding it, though.

HQSM CEO to Be Interviewed on MoneyTV 


Financial Results and New Announcement to Be Discussed


SEATTLE, WA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/03/05 -- HQ Sustainable Maritime Industries, Inc. (HQ)
(OTC BB: HQSM), a Delaware corporation engaged in integrated aquaculture
and aquatic product processing, announced today that it has accepted an
interview of its CEO, Norbert Sporns, from the floor of the American Stock
Exchange, to be broadcast on Saturday, November 19, 2005, at 6:30 AM ET and
PT. The MoneyTV program will then be rebroadcast the following Sunday at
8:00 AM and 11:00 AM ET, Monday and Tuesday at 7:30 PM ET and Wednesday at
7:00 PM ET. The television program can also be viewed online at
www.moneytv.net as of the 18th of November.



Mr. Sporns will discuss HQ's financial results for the third quarter as
well as its new financial partnership with Amalgamated Resources Holdings
Inc. ("Alps"), which in mid October agreed to provide guarantees in support
of traditional bank loans for up to $70 million. HQ intends to use the
proceeds of such loans to expand the company's branding, vertical
integration and production. As a first step, the Company plans to expand
its distribution, marketing and branding initiatives in the United States.





Mr. Sporns will also make an important announcement related to the future
of the Company.



Mr. Sporns stated, "I believe this interview will provide investors and
the Wall Street community with fresh insight into HQ's strong financial
position and our unique potential for growth and leadership in the
international market for zero-toxin aquaculture products. We have recently
enhanced our vertical integration with an expanded state-of-the-art
processing plant and the acquisition of a nutraceutical manufacturing
facility, and we plan to open a zero-toxin feedmill in 2006, followed by
additional production facilities. We expect our new corporate headquarters
in Seattle will spearhead diversification of our international and North
American sales strategies."

Could there announcement be that they are moving to American Stock Exchange? They are conducting the interview on the floor of the American Stock Exchange.

The 3rd Qtr. numbers, must be pretty good, If the CEO is willing to be interviewed on TV to discuss them.

Things are looking very bright for HQSM.

Does AMEX allow sub-$1 stocks with low volume?  I'm not familiar with their rules.  BBC (another excellent, profitable chinese company, just doubled their revenues this quarter) moved to the AMEX, and their stock pps has done well.  So such a move has happened before with thinly-traded chinese companies.  (I would have chosen BBC for the stock-picking contest, but unfortunately it trades less than 100k shares/day!)

I believe this HQSM volume dry-up with no downward pressure is a good sign.  I've experienced that most "trendy" stocks that have doubled in the last few months tend to drift down on low volume (possibly because traders get tired of waiting for something to happen).  HQSM hasn't acted this way, although it is a little suspicious that the Barron's article and this MoneyTV announcement hasn't picked up volume at all... and that Norbert is touting his company (I would too if the other board-members and I owned 50%+ of the company).  All in all, there is very little "fishy" about HQSM that I can find, and the future looks very bright.  I nibbled a bit more today :)  I'm long 15k shares, so I'm ready to profit immensely (or lose my pants)... only time will tell.
