I will pick up at least 30,000 tomorrow, but I wish we could pick this for the 1-100k board because I'm keeping an extra $1000 free for that.

Denjohn... remember pghi... it happened... it will here too. I've been very paticular about posting picks on this board. And believe BTLY has huge upside potential from current levels. Take care. mach

Thanks Mach....been sitting here for 45 minutes now reading from the website. It is nicely done!
I agree, the PGHI website will be a HUGE improvement when it changes. That sample page we saw a few weeks ago (link no longer works - I'm not sure we were supposed to be able to see that!) was very nice.

You know PSU. I was tying to get connected to that link and it disappeared. Weird. Well ... i did like the inside scoop! Yes the more I read about the Barter industry and the potential here... the more excited I get. CEO explained it to me as ALERNATIVE FINANCING for companies around the world. I think they could do very well in countries such as Iraq. And this resume is extremely impressive. This does have big potential. Very big. mach

To everyone doing the research here.....I've just gotta say this is absolutely unbelievable. I wasn't sure the teamwork from PGHI would move so easily to another stock. Well...this proves it can!
The amount of info assembled here in just 1/2 of a day is amazing! You'd think somebody would have found a glaring negative by now (other than its a penny stock - we already know that risk level).
Here's hoping that our collective research has uncovered another winner!

Here is more information from my DD, take a look...
The commercial barter industry (trade exchanges and corporate barter companies) in the U.S. is responsible for approximately $1.5 billion of aggregate business for their clients, while the advertising business is 200 times as large. So I found it interesting to compare this past week's attendance at the annual convention staged by the National Association of Trade Exchanges (NATE) in Atlanta, to that of the annual meeting by the American Association of Advertising Agencies (AAAA) held the same week in New Orleans.
NATE drew 125, up from 83 last year. AAAA saw 243, fifty fewer. Comparing industries is similar to comparing "apples" and "oranges," but in fact, providing services to a client remains the goal of both.
And what's obvious is the potential ubiquitousness of barter, relatively untapped considering its possibilities, versus the ad industry's future growth which appears caught in a zero-sum game. Ad budgets leveling off, and new ad business (growth), often comes down to taking clients from one another.
Barter's use, as a business tool, far exceeds that of the commercial barter industry. In fact, in a pie chart, the commercial barter industry's multi-lateral services would appear to be a small sliver in the overall picture.
Bilateral trading, one-to-one, is much greater. For instance over $30 billion of real estate "1031" tax-deferred real estate exchanges occur every year, and the airline industry's 10 trillion airlines miles (valued at 2¢ each) have created a $200 billion trading currency...to cite just two examples.
With few exceptions, the commercial barter industry doesn't totally comprehend the potential magnitude of additional business that will come their way when network infrastructures expand, mature, and deepen with successful penetration into the greater business community.
One of the goals of the industry should be adopting a Bill Gates-like mantra. Microsoft's founder's vision was to see a computer on every desk and in every home. The barter industry's mantra should be to have an educated, competent barter person in every company.

Here are the rest of the key executives resumes from the website:
Robert Schumacher is president and COO.

He joined them after leaving National Home Furnishings Association where for ten years was publisher of its award winning industry magazine he created, as well as its associate executive vice president. For eight years preceding this, he was President of Centrum Corporation, a Washington, D.C. headquartered communications firm he founded with offices in Europe.

After analyzing the liquidity problems facing the barter industry in 1998, Mr. Crump formed Crump Barter Services, Inc. (CBSI) and subsequently developed an internationally recognized and accepted barter currency that allowed exchanges to seamlessly trade with each other through a global trade clearinghouse. Mr. Crump made this service available to the industry through the creation of the ?Crump Dollar?, a universal trade currency that enables barter transactions between disparate exchanges. As a result, CBSI currently provides clearing services to over 180 barter exchanges and corporate trade companies, representing more than one third of the barter exchanges in the U.S. and one half of the exchanges in Canada, with rapid expansion in progress. Prior to this, he was CEO of a trucking and logistics company based in Ontario Canada, with service provision in Ontario, Michigan and New York. Mr. Crump holds a BA in Management and Economics.

Concurrently with his career, Mr. Kamm founded and managed a real estate development company that used trade and offset as a component in many real estate and construction transactions. Mr. Kamm specializes in capital engineering utilizing trade, countertrade, creative financing and innovative cross-marketing programs to expand business opportunities and bottom line profitability by engineering programs that enable companies to maximize the value of their underperforming products, services, assets and capacity. Mr. Kamm holds a BA in Administrative Science from Long Island University and accreditation from the International Reciprocal Trade Association as an Industry Certified Trade Broker (CTB).
Melinda Houser brings 16 years of experience in managed offset procurement to global companies.

Grace & Companies, Perdue Farms, General Electric, Finmeccanica, Fieldcrest and Circuit City to successfully match vendors with purchasing and procurement requirements. Ms. Houser developed the Commercial and Industrial Buying Consortium and was the co-designer of the transactional software used today to manage all of the aspects of a client's corporate trade program. Prior to Ms Houser's involvement in corporate trade, for 14 years she specialized in production and sales in the printing industry working with international clients that included National Geographic, the Smithsonian Institute and US News and World Report.

Looks like a great bunch of people from many differnt backgrounds PSU! Thanks for the info.
I've had BTLY in my portfolio since October, and I see this as a great time to load more. I'm going to shift some of my IBZT money into BTLY hopefully tomorrow, just hope I can get in at .027 .028 by the looks of the buys at the close.

Mach and remember when a company changes its name and cusip number, the market makers need to cover the shares they have borrowed, so this will take the price up.

Barter, or reciprocal trade, was mankind's earliest form of economic activity. It continues as one of the most widespread of economic engines on the planet. It is therefore ironic that barter, as of yet, is not well represented in current models of e-commerce. This is quickly changing, however, with the emergence of new and promising online barter communities. http://www.onlinecommunityreport.com/features/barter

Thanks Cabbage. This is also an interesting paragraph! mach
The Move to Online Barter According to The International Reciprocal Trade Association (IRTA), 60% of NYSE corporations engage in barter. The National Association of Trade Exchanges (NATE) estimates that 65% of Fortune 500 corporations are actively engaged in some form of reciprocal trade.

Looks like another great pick, MACH!! Count me in!! BTW, according to BTLY's last 10-QSB in November the O/S was 349,490,764 and float was 143,602,877 This is not a lot for an OTCBB company. It's also an important factor when you consider this type of play. Got the boat loaded with PGHI but I'll be adding this beauty tomorrow. Thanks for the great DD on this today TEAM. Gotta love it!

Not at all compared to PGHI's 220 million float. I believe the 10q indicated the 143 million as public tradeable... thought the ceo told me for some reason that... there is a 120 million float... This was only yesterday. I mentioned the 143 million and he was explaining but my cell phone cut him off. Take care! mach
