SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT ....

Is this the news that is sending this down almost 20%?

I think with pink sheet stocks 20% type volatility is normal.  I think this stock can double from here.  But because its a pink, I think it can also crash 50% as well in short order. 

My expectation is that currently the stock is forming a handle on the long term cup and handle pattern going back to December (left side of the cup).  But I am not going to be surprised if I am wrong and it just keeps going down, I have learned to only invest truly "mad money" in pink sheet stocks. 

[pompano]

Hi tokyoupa and Hobicat, here's my take. Cup and handles usually form after an uptrend, so that's not the pattern we are looking at. 

With that said this stock has alot going for it right now from a technical standpoint. 

1)  G-pattern breakout in action. The Gspot occured on the day we had the megavolume of over 600 mill shares traded. It retraced and then broke the G-spot to the upside.  Very bullish

2)Broken downward trendline.  Next we have broken the resistance of the downward trendline on heavy volume.  Again very bullish. 

3) Broke through it's 200-day ema.  Very bullish

If sales are suprisingly good, and the stock buyback is noteworthy this stock could run wild, I won't even guess on a percentage with the type of momentum we are seeing.  The stock hit some resistance as you can see from the chart and is making a pullback.  IMO you would have to be a fool not to take a small chance on this stock at these levels, considering the massive upside potential and limited downside risk.  A good spot to pick some up would be at the 2nd G-spot at .0034 or it may test .0026 which is the were the trenline was violated to the upside.  I'll be putting in a order for 50,000 shared tomorrow at .003 for $150 and hold till the announcement are made in April.  If the new is very encouraging I'll hold it until it breaks down technically.

Eternal Image Receives Production American Kennel Club(TM) Urns and Presents First Urn To AKC(TM)
10:09a ET March 23, 2007 (Business Wire)
Eternal Image, Inc. (OTC:ETIM.PK), a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of licensed brand image caskets and urns, today announced that it received the first production American Kennel Club(TM) urns from the manufacturer via air freight. Shipping of the balance of the urns is in progress.

Immediately upon receipt of the first urns, Eternal Image president Clint Mytych shipped the very first urn off the line to AKC(TM) executives to commemorate the event.

"The urns are really beautiful - even more lovely than we had anticipated - and it was very exciting to ship the very first one to AKC(TM) management," said Clint Mytych, president of Eternal Image. "AKC(TM) really believed in us from the beginning and has been an outstanding partner. It felt wonderful to be able to show them a truly finished product."

Mytych added that the first two-thirds of the first shipment have been committed to customers through pre-sales and that the balance will be available first-come first-serve through vendors including AKC.com, Cherrybrook.com and Dog.com.

The AKC(TM) urns are crafted from burnished copper and bronze die-cast aluminum. The base has a highly-polished clear coat finish that offers the appearance of wood. The AKC(TM) logo is embossed on the face of the metal casing and a photo window has been designed into the top of the urn so that the owner can insert a favorite photo of the pet. On the base are fittings for a customized metallic nameplate provided with the urn.

These guys need to figure out a way to market this stuff in Japan, they are even more crazy about their pets there than we are in the US, especially minature dogs (since most households dont have yards and the pets pretty much live full time with the owners in the house).  In Japan they even will spend big bucks to buy designer collars like Luis Vuitton for their pets, you see it everywhere.  ETIM would make nice bank in that country with this new product.

[pompano]

Still trying to get some around .0035 area, volume wasn't that impressive on the last two days.  I want to see how it reacts next week maybe I will change my entry.

[Hobicat]

Well good luck on that, I would be surprised to see it go that low from here.
I'll have completed my 3 millionth share collection in the morn~

A few things to watch for; continued positive press coverage (ie; CBS news, New York Times, New York Post) that will only add to the current marketing plans for its customized caskets and urns
{{{ AHEAD OF OPENING DAY for Major League Baseball,}}}
updates on new distributors, and most importantly, financial reports and guidance on future sales (which have not yet been released). --

This thing has huge volume but never goes anywhere. It's been stagnate for a long time and had to get out. I need more patience but seriously, I bought at .0064 and losing a lot. Exited .0055 I hope this drops so I can get this thing cheaper and maybe make my $$ back.

[Hobicat]

Hey Lance, It's been low volume for about a week and holding it's position well.
Next week to before the 18th should be I would think the time for it to move again.
I'm surprised it didn't start moving today in antisipation of the financials, sales info etc...
I like to get settled in before the rush lol.
Sorry you sold. I'm not so impatient with this stock, I have confidence in it and added more shares today. I keep thinking I'll use the extra to flip and get more shares, but still havn't sold any yet.
Still I just don't see it going down anything significant after watching it hold this price after such a huge run. We'll see~
Hope you get back in soon, Good luck

A CREATIVE AFTERLIFE: Rise in cremations creates a market for cremation urns



By SYDNEY SCHWARTZ
The Patriot Ledger

BROCKTON - Lynne Campbell and her father chuckled when they saw an official Red Sox cremation urn featured in Sports Illustrated. That was a year ago, and they joked that whoever went first would get one.

Her father, John H. Richard, 78, a Fenway faithful, died in September before the Major League Baseball urns were available.

But this coming week, his remains will be among the first on the South Shore transferred to one of the new vessels, which are seated on a home plate-shaped base and have a baseball display dome cover.

''I'm so happy that I can get this for my dad,'' said Campbell, of Brockton.

''The World Series, that was the happiest day of our life. He was an awesome Red Sox fan ... and a great dad.''

Cremations have grown in popularity in recent years, rising to nearly 30 percent of final arrangements nationally.

And with their increase, the variety of urns

available to hold the cremated remains has skyrocketed - with a plethora of thematic containers that reflect passions, personalities and final wishes.

You can now spend eternity inside a vessel that looks like a golf club or a racing car. You can choose a biodegradable container, a birdbath or wind chimes.

There are pieces of jewelry that hold small amounts of ''cremains'' and even yellow-tinted diamonds made from them.

''People want something that they can relate to in life,'' said Scott R. Hamel, funeral director at the Quincy-based Cremation Society of Massachusetts. ''It's to be personalized with their life experience, maybe a hobby or a favorite vacation place or item.''

In Massachusetts, an estimated 27 percent of the dead were cremated in 2005, up from 26 percent the previous year and 24 percent in 2000. That number could reach 30 percent by 2010, according to the Cremation Association of North America.

The organization said in 2005, about 6 percent of people nationally bought ''keepsake'' items like jewelry or special urns for cremations.

''Funeral service is just like the rest of society. People want choices and want things to become very, very personal,'' said Bob Biggins of the Magoun-Biggins Funeral Home in Rockland. ''Every family celebrates life differently.''

This coming week, Michigan-based Eternal Image will release the Boston Red Sox urn, along with urns for the Cardinals, the Cubs, the Yankees and several other teams.

The company, founded in 2002, also has licensing agreements with The Vatican Library and Precious Moments. For pets, they make urns with the American Kennel Club and the Cat Fanciers Association.

''It provides a lighthearted touch to otherwise an unpleasant product to have to choose,'' said CEO Clint Mytych.

And funeral directors say its not just the urns - cremation itself provides choice.

Traditionally, people would scatter remains in the ocean or put them in a cemetery - but ''those two options don't speak to necessarily everyone,'' said Jacquelyn Taylor, associate professor of funeral service at Mount Ida College in Newton.

She said over time many people brought ashes home because they didn't know what to do with them and then got used to them being there.

''Part of this was an outgrowth of just providing alternatives to people,'' Taylor said. ''If you're going to have ashes at home, make it more permanent.''

Hamel said cremation is increasing because of mobility and money. Families are spreading out around the country, so there's no central place for a burial. Economically, cremations are a lot more affordable. He said a funeral costs about $10,000 and cremations are about $1,500.

At Duxbury Cemetery and Crematory, the only cremation facility on the South Shore, the two-hour-plus process costs $230, plus a $75 medical examiner's fee. Plymouth is also hoping to open a crematorium in the next few years.

Duxbury cemetery director Patricia Pappas said the crematorium handled 3,100 cremations in 2006, up 300 or so from the previous year. Sometimes, she said, there are as many as a dozen a day.

''A lot more people are being cremated nowadays,'' said Nicholas Pirro III of Quality Vault & Casket in Leominster, the New England distributor for the baseball urns, who opened his company last fall.

Pirro said he has nearly 30 preorders for Major League Baseball urns from funeral homes - both for Red Sox and Yankees vessels. He'll receive his first shipment this coming week.

''It seems to be a pretty popular item,'' he said.

Campbell said when she started looking for the Red Sox urn in September, no one had heard of it. She put her father's ashes in a pyramid-shape stone urn, and glued on Red Sox pins.

She eventually found the urn on the Internet and a friend, Larry Creutz of Downing Cottage Funeral Chapel in Hingham, contacted the supplier.

''It was very important to me to get that for him,'' she said. ''I really was kind of heartbroken that I thought it didn't really exist.''

Campbell said she plans to put her father's urn in her formal living room, but move it for some special occasions.

''For the Yankee games, it's going to be right by that TV and bring us all the luck that we can get,'' she said.

Todays company statement-

A message from Clint Mytych, CEO

This is a very exciting time for us: we have begun distribution of our first products – urns from Major League Baseball™, the Vatican Library Collection™ and American Kennel Club™ -- all of which have been very well received. The rest of our initial product line (including products featuring Precious Moments and Cat Fanciers' Association) are in the production cue. Keep reading to catch up on all the news – and watch your email for quarterly editions of "The Last Word." - Clint

Bulletin Board & Audit Update

Much will change for Eternal Image later this spring, and not just in terms of product. The audit of our financial statements for our most recent year end is currently in progress. Soon we will also apply to move our stock activity from the privately-held Pink Sheets to the NASDAQ-operated Over the Counter (OTC) Bulletin Board service, a fully reporting exchange. Steps to initiate the move are underway, and an announcement of our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2006 and the operations for two years that ended should be available this month.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We'll be Reining (with) Cats & Dogs

Pet owners have long had little choice when it came to memorializing their four-legged friends. Our agreements with the American Kennel Club™ and Cat Fanciers' Association™ changes all that. Our AKC products are pre-selling extremely well and our CFA products are in early development – we expect to show a design this spring. Our goal: to be the kings of pet funerary products – so we can say we're "reining" cats & dogs!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



First Shipment of Major League Baseball™ Urns Sells Out

If you missed the news release, our first shipment of MLB urns sold out before it ever reached the U.S. That order is now being organized for shipping to our distributors and funeral homes. The next order will be available to our customers in May. We do not expect the additional manufacturing order to impact the design and tooling schedules for the next 12 urns or the first eight caskets, both scheduled to debut this September. And for reference, the most often requested teams are: 1) Boston Red Sox, 2) New York Yankees and 3) Philadelphia Phillies.

Breakout puts .01 in play.  Took a small position in ETIM.PK  the other day for my IRA.  I can see this thing in the $2 - $4 range in 3-5 years which would make for a nice payday.

Welcome on board Pompano  ... how do you figure $2 - $4, that would be a 200 - 400 bagger yo!

[pompano]

What up Tok    Just looking at the way sales are increasing and managment seems to be on the right track buying back some of the enormous share count they have.  Reading through some of the press releases the industry really seems to be adopting their products.   Sure it would be a 2 - 400 bagger, but in 3- 5 years that wouldn't be unreasonable.  I just see the potential for it.
