This is just my thoughts about this stock. I am a retired military intelligence officer. I understand "Black Ops" very well. This is just a feeling I have. Looking at the CEO, that has a background in Government Contracts, logistics, etc. This is a company that is about to have major contracts with the Department of Defense and the United States Navy for a Unmanned Naval Vessel such as the Airforce has with the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MQ-1_Predator. I believe this is a classified project that has not hit the main stream because it is under development. When you look at their products http://www.radix-marine.com/products.htm, this would fit into the federal system of bidding. The feds by law must take dis-advantaged companies into the bid process. I think this is a gold mine. I believe they have a product that will elimate cost to the tax payers, elimate death toll to American Sailors, and provide a means to fight terriorism from distances far away from threat.
Chivers says we should think of a roboboat run by a trained naval officer, much as Air Force pilots fly Predator and Reaper drones. In the next several weeks, Sheridan will be testing a preliminary version, which combines several off-the-shelf products, on a GB-12 patrol craft from Radix Marine, a boat manufacturer in Yakima, Washington. The first tests will be on manned vessels, with the system operated by joystick by the crew from within.

We are pleased to announce the conclusion of our first meeting of our advisory board. We feel the meeting was quite productive and everyone has accepted the position. We are in the process of having them put together bio’s on themselves so we can post them on the web site.
The meeting was presided over by Daniel Langdon. Dan will serve as the chairman of the advisory board and brings a vast history of business experience to the advisory board. Dan has also been a long time shareholder in Radix Marine. We like to say he has “skin in the game”
Dan has experience in land development, nursing home operation, publication, printing and the marina business. He operated his lo-carb business and successfully merged into a public company several years ago. He is experienced in the games that are played relative to public traded companies and strategies to curtail such activity. He attended the annual shareholders meeting in 2008 in Las Vegas with Mr. Goodspeed and has a good grasp on the operation of the company and the products.
It is anticipated that many of the advisory board members would have an interest in the board of director’s positions when the annual meeting is held in January. This will ultimately be left to the shareholders that attend the meeting. We hope to have a detailed road map for the company, and supporting plan of execution, when the annual meeting is held. Presently this is an advisory position and it has no pay and is strictly volunteer. Some of the advisory board members have had stock in Radix for several years as well.
The advisory board met for approx 2 hours and discussed the following agenda items:
1 Radix corporate history to date and future direction of the company.
2 Corporate structure of officers and shareholders.
3 Discussed the legal and financial position currently.
4 Discussed current business and opportunities presented to the company to date.
5 Discussed the potential business opportunities and funding mechanisms.
The meeting was quite productive and another meeting has been set for November 18 2009.
We continue to look at business opportunities for the company that offer good, solid, long term growth that will add further shareholder value.
We appreciate your support and interest in Radix Marine.
Frederick H. Lartz President

Thanks best - yeah - I went to the website last week and saw it - but I guess if we don't keep going there - we'll never get these updates, as they never show up under news. In fact - I can't find ANY new this entire year. I picked up another 100000 shares at .0075 todays when it dropped to .0071 x .0075. I didn't mess around and put the order in for full ask and got filled in like 3 seconds! Have a good night...
Good Luck to us all!

There is no news because this is company in comeback mode.They are saving money putting updates on web site for now.When I first found this company with all this potential it was trading in 0.15 to 0.25 range 6-7 years ago.They had Washington state contracts coming monthly years ago.After that they had some problems with financing company who naked shorted shares.Old management is gone.This is going to be big money maker in time to come.

Yeah - a friend of mine owned ARGY (Alternitive Energy) about 6 years ago, and NITE naked shorted the SH-T out of it - and literally killed the stock AND the company and left the owner and one of my best friends REALLY hurtin' for certain...and left them with a lot of people piszed at them because they all lost their investment. When Alt. Engy. RM'd into what became ARGY it opened at .20 (the privat offering was $1.00 and was restricted. The regular shares shot up over time from .20 to a high of $2.92 - then NITE went to work and put them out of business.
I guess even when that SOB NITE (imo WORST offender) get fined big - they just call it a 'cost of doing business' as they make so much more screwing us...
Thanks for your input here and Good Luck to us all!
