The phrasing of the release, stating that HQSM has "accepted" an interview request, is a little disingenuous.

MoneyTV is paid by the companies that it features, or so it seems from the following page, which refers to these companies as "clients."

At any rate, it does seem likely that they have good news to share if they are taking this step now.

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.

I think eggman11's speculation makes perfect sense. The fact that they will conduct the interview from the floor of the AMEX exchange possibly means the CEO will make the announcement that the company will soon be traded on that exchange, instead of the OTCBB.

Thinking of AOB, a Chinese company that I used to own but was silly to sell, when it moved to AMEX the stock price doubled in just a couple of weeks.

Volume is increasing and the price is threatening its former high of $0.53. It looks like that white marubozu to new highs is coming. That would set the stage for HQSM.OB to approach $1 (I also don't know if a stock can start listing on the AMEX below $1 - but maybe HQSM.OB will rise above $1 before it makes the move  ).

After speaking with Norbert Sporns about his company, I have taken a substantial position.

Some notes from the call.

-  They are trying to get into the retail side (restaurant distribution)
-  The weather played a large role in the lack of production last year
-  The new capacity should exponentially grow HQSM
-  Low public float as insiders have a large stake
-  Seattle should provide a base for business in one of the largest seafood markets
-  Norbert cannot speculate on the future
-  He hinted towards filing before the 15th
-  Norbert also said they qualify for the AMEX.  He would not say whether or not they are going from BB to AMEX now, but he said it was the goal.

We will see.  I am buying in order to not miss an early filing and the interview from the AMEX floor.

new investors will be interested when they see what growth capacities this company has.....

The IR campaign is paying off -- there's a flurry of press releases, all (I believe) from sites that carry a "client relationship" with the stocks they tout.

I'm not saying this is  bad thing -- ANY exposure for HQSM is good, especially if they can follow up with solid good news.

Placing each of these headlines in Google should get you the full release:

On CNBC (as Paid Programming) in Early 2006
11/7/2005 8:08:41 AM

   BOCA RATON, FL, Nov 07, 2005 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Multi-Media Productions (USA), Inc., producers of World Business Review, and HQ Sustainable Maritime Industries Inc. (HQSM) today announced that HQSM will be featured on World Business Review, hosted by General Alexander Haig.

The segment will include a discussion on 21st Century Environmental Solutions and will include Dr. Richard Maas, professor of Environmental Science at the University of North Carolina -- Asheville. HQSM will present the importance of environmentally friendly zero-toxin aquaculture as an alternative to ocean fisheries.

"HQSM is a vertically integrated aquaculture company strongly committed to the production of zero-toxin tilapia and other products deploying environmentally friendly and socially responsible farming techniques in delivering a superior zero-toxin product to the market," said Norbert Sporns, CEO of HQ Sustainable Maritime Industries Inc.

Coordinating Producer Christopher T. Graniti added, "HQSM is at the forefront of their industry. This is what our environment needs to alleviate pressure on the oceans and reduce toxins in our food. When researching aquaculture, HQSM consistently came up as being in touch with the most current advancements in this area."

Keep a close eye on HQSM.
It may take off with the earnings and scheduled interviews to follow.

I am in for more than usual on a penny.   

Greetings from HQ Sustainable Maritime Industries Inc. I forwarded the attached answers  yesterday to my IR person. I wanted him to structure a more formal reply. However while waiting for him, I send you the answers I gave to him.

See below in red.

Best Regards,
Norbert Sporns, CEO

I am intrigued by your company and have a few questions.

How many total shares authorized, outstanding and in the float ? 110 million

How many shares do you currently have ? The founder group owns 75 million shares

Have you or other insiders sold in past 6 months, if so, why ? No

Is the financing with Cornell ? Is it toxic ? Non financing with Cornell. No toxic funding.

Will the 15th filing be on time ? Yes  

Why did the long term price go from over $ 1 to under 20 cents ?  Registration of an SB2 went effective for early stage investors.  When they sold the share price dropped.

Was there a past split ? No

Any plans for a split ?  (I will not invest if a Reverse Split is in the future) No

Do you continue to grow rapidly ? Of course

Should this quarter filing reflect new growth ? you will see shortly

HQ Sustainable Maritime (HQSM.OB) announced that it has retained investor relations firm Consulting For Strategic Growth I, Ltd. to launch a "Massive Investor Relations Campaign." According to the plan, CFSG will promote the stock though meetings with over 1,000 broker-dealers.

Check out CSFG's client list at http://www.odwyerpr.com/pr_firms_database/prdc21e.htm.  They obviously cater to small, struggling companies.  If HQSM is "firing on all cylinders" why do they need to do this?  This might be worth asking Norbert about...

They are basically paying tens of thousands of dollars to have consultants and media pump the stock... which I find a little odd.  I must say that HQSM is about the least fishy of the pennies I've found (well, besides BRVO)   But does anyone else find it odd that they would stoop to this level and spend this money if all is going well?

Great question.  Norbert said in a call this week that it is because they are trying to get to the AMEX.  He said they are now set to sell the concept to distributors for restaurant chains.  His answer to your question was that the company is firing on all cylinders and more exposure can only help.  With Norbert and insiders holding 75 million shares and NOT selling a single share, I am not concerned.  And AMEP nearly rose ten times this year.  So PR is welcome along with strong quarterly reports.  Always a risk, but I agree that HQSM seems better than most.  Call Norber, he is very open to investors.

Thanks for responding so quickly, fill_the_gap.  It makes sense, even if I would not do it the same way.  Then again, I'm not CEO of a $50mil company...  

Chances are slim I will get the chance to give Norbert a call this week, but I'll give him a ring next week.  It'll be best to hear it again - by comparing exactly what is said (and how it is said/what is emphasized), perhaps I will get some sort of hint about what is true versus what is still speculation.  I'll let you all know what I find out next week.  Best of luck to all!

--Owen

Owen,

FCCN is an example of trusting a CEO.  So always proceed with caution with pennies.

Norbert said that he hopes to file before the 15th.
Why do that unless it is positive?  We will see.
And all of the interviews scheduled can only help for now.

- CNBC
- MoneyTV, etc.

Thanks for all your info on the company fill_the_gap. Your always the one to get info strait from the CEO. (applauds)

Filled a position today before the close at .50

-fousc

David & Frederick,

What kind of quarter do you expect from HQSM ?
Assume they are not ready to file for AMEX yet, what will motivate buying ?
Future speculation or do you think numbers will do well again ?

Thank you in advance.

HQSM Hit a new High today currently at .56. The stock has had huge volume over the past few days and is getting ready for a huge move. once ARCA gets out of the way. Any thoughts on ARCA and their sitting on ask? They have been sitting on the ask for days. Once they are done we will fly.

-  Norbert also said they qualify for the AMEX.  He would not say whether or not they are going from BB to AMEX now, but he said it was the goal.

AMEX requires a bid price of $3, or pretax annual income of $50.

Prospect of a reverse split i the 10:1 range doesn't make me very happy.
