heres the current line up and I am sure its going to change before open Monday,maybe some will see I was serious about gapping up at or at least near .03,very few shares or resistance between here and there now.
BEST .01 (which is a joke and a ploy,only $1000 worth of share there)
NITE .0139
ETRD .0144
PERT .015
SBSH .016
SCHB .016
SEAB .017
MAXM .02 WITH 8 OTHERS
The rest higher and once we break .03 it will glide right to .05 quick!
Do you think this might hit .05 Monday if we break .03? I wonder when the profit takers will start and when our next entry point will be...?

trader_adam....in this case let the profit takers roll out when ever they please,those shares will be absorbed easily imo,there is so much more to this company and is far from any pump and dump,the facts and history of the company have already shown that.
Here are a few notable URL links for your review and consideration:
NAKED SHORTED - The evidence of naked shorting on DIAAF. First appeared Nov. 9th and as we all know that means it took 5 days for it to get there and therefore was first shorted Nov. 2nd. http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/aspx/regsho.aspx
I am just thinking back to early October and AMEP. We all would have liked to sell at .14
I don't want to make the same mistake (misjudgement?) again. I guess the best thing to do is watch it closely. I hope this climbs like a true winner is supposed to and the buys keep rolling in. Looking forward to Monday... Have a nice Sunday everyone.

For those who may be looking for an entry on a dip in DIAAF.Market makers do what they can to loosen shares especially when they are in short positions but in some cases the shares don't get shaken out by investors selling into fear and the MM's are forced to cover and let it loose to run.In the position DIAAF took they have concentrated on their product over the past years knowing full well what was coming down the pike(great planning by management),with Dupont now in the hotseat and Diamant already has the trade marked product to fill the needs of the industry not to mention they have been building and building their inventory...a more better scenario could not have been written...still all speculation at this point although you cannot deny their past contracts and sequence of events.IMO I don't see an early dip based on whats going on and if,and I mean IF a PR is released containing some heavy duty info then you might as well forget about any serious dip for the next few trading sessions....but as always stated anything can happen in pennyland and thats why most will get rich playing with pennies instead of playing the big boards.

and lets not forget these two important issues..
DIAAF-Diamant stretch film has been approved by the Canadian Health Protection Branch for food contact and qualifies for the United States Food and Drug Administration non-objection status.
with all this already in place whats to stop them from jumping right into the mainstream market?
NASAA to Host Forum on Naked Short Selling Experts to Examine Efforts to Curb Market Manipulation by Stemming Abusive Naked Short Selling Activity
WASHINGTON—The North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc. (NASAA) today announced plans to host a public forum to explore possible market manipulation through naked short selling activity. The “NASAA Listens” Forum is scheduled for November 30 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Paris Ballroom of the Sofitel Lafayette Square Hotel, 806 15th Street NW, in Washington, D.C.
“NASAA commends the SEC for its efforts to address short-selling abuses through Regulation SHO and we encourage the agency to consider additional measures to limit the detrimental impact of abusive naked short-selling of the stock of small businesses, the entrepreneurial engines that drive our nation’s economy,” said NASAA President and Wisconsin Securities Administrator Patricia D. Struck.
Naked short selling refers to a stock transaction in which the seller agrees to sell shares of stock that he or she neither owns nor has borrowed in time to make delivery to the buyer within the standard three-day settlement period. When done in large volumes, this sales tactic can be used to manipulate a stock’s share value while allowing the seller to profit. The SEC adopted Regulation SHO in 2004 to update short-sale regulation and, in part, to address problems associated with abusive naked short selling transactions. Industry compliance with Reg SHO began in January and in May the SEC launched a pilot program to determine the effectiveness of the regulation.
“Since the pilot program has reached the midway point, we believe this Forum offers a timely opportunity for a thorough discussion of the effectiveness of Regulation SHO from a variety of perspectives,” Struck said.
The “NASAA Listens” Forum will bring together a panel of leading financial and academic experts to examine problems associated with abusive naked short selling and the impact of Regulation SHO on naked short-selling transactions.
The Forum is free and open to the public on a first come, first serve basis. To reserve a seat, please contact Lonnie Martin, at 202-737-0900 or lm*nasaa.org, by November 28. NASAA is the oldest international organization devoted to investor protection. Its membership consists of the securities administrators in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Canada, and Mexico.

Taking a look back at the article below tells me that this company should have been trading back up towards the .40 - .50 range several months ago. This headline says it all:
Non-PVC stretch wrap to shake up US film market
05/11/2004 - The distributor of a non-PVC stretch wrap believes that its innovation could shake up the $700 million North American stretch film market and beyond.
Diamant Film, the North American distributor of an innovative non-PVC stretch wrap, has signed a distribution agreement with Victory Packaging. The agreement is for the distribution rights of Diamant film to the industrial, supermarket, institutional, and catering markets throughout North America.
"Diamant is very excited to work with a reputable packaging firm which possesses established and widespread distribution channels throughout our target market,” said Stefan Gudmundsson, chief executive of Diamant Film, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ART International.
“We continue to believe that we possess the only economically viable polystyrene alternative to PVC stretch film for the $700 million North American stretch film market.
“ Victory's extensive network of warehouses and delivery routes throughout the US, Canada, and Mexico makes them an ideal distribution partner."
ART international claims that Diamant film is the world's first, plasticiser-free stretch film based on polystyrene. It is being marketed as an environmentally friendly and recyclable food wrapping alternative to current PVC based film, though biodegradable alternatives are now flooding the market.
Plastic stretch films are familiar to most consumers. Stretch films are used in supermarkets and grocery stores, usually in conjunction with a plastic or fibre tray, to package individual cuts of fresh meat, poultry, fish and other food products.
Meat packaging represents one of the largest potential applications for Diamant film. Packagers in this industry require film that has enough oxygen permeability to allow the formation of oxymyglobin, which gives the desired fresh red look to the meat.
But it must also be tough, able to withstand low temperatures, and have good clarity and gloss.
ART International is confident that Diamant film is the answer. It has a low moisture vapour transmission rate required to retain moisture in the packaged product plus an anti-fogging additive to prevent condensation on the inside of the film.
The ever-increasing demand for environmentally friendly and healthier packaging has been pushing companies to find alternative packaging materials for years. Over ten years ago the R&D department of Permapak in Switzerland set out to develop a better performing, environmentally safe stretch film for the food industry – the first real alternative to PVC and the first genuinely recyclable stretch film.
In 2001 Permapak released Diamant Stretchfilm. ART International recently secured a ten-year agreement with for the exclusive marketing and distribution rights in the United States and Canada to the film.
Environmentally sound packaging is beginning to present itself as a viable alternative to traditional methods of packaging. RPC for example recently launched a range of biodegradable Polylactide (PLA) containers targeted at this growing green consciousness among food packagers.
PLA is a biodegradable thermoplastic derived from lactic acid that is processed from annually renewable resources, such as corn. This means it uses less fossil resources compared to petroleum-based plastics.
The development of the packaging range comes in response to a raft of recent European packaging legislation encouraging greater environmental responsibility. RPC says that PLA containers not only help to avoid existing and proposed taxes on packaging and packaging waste but can also in some instances qualify for subsidies.
In addition, new biodegradable materials such as PLA offer food packagers an economically-viable alternative to polystyrene-based packaging materials.
Packaging firms have experienced enormous raw material price increases this year - chemical giant BASF recently increased the prices for its plastic material Styrolux by €200 per metric ton in Europe as of 1 August, blaming the rising cost of raw materials.

Sorry about that last statement at the top. I just realized that was a year and a half ago...LOL But, it is still an interesting article. Kinda makes you wonder why we are trading so very low nowadays!!
Former DuPont Top Expert: Company Knew, Covered Up Pollution of Americans' Blood for 18 Years Documents: Company Couldn't Find Safe Level of Exposure in 1973 to Chemical that Never Breaks Down, Clings to Human Blood Study Results Show Company Found Safer Ways to Coat Food Packaging But Shelved Them to Save Money
WASHINGTON — Glenn Evers was a DuPont employee of 22 years, one of the company's top technical experts and the chairman of an invitation-only committee of its 40 best scientists and technical experts. He holds six patents, and his work has, to date, made the company an estimated $250 million in after-tax profits. Evers was, by his description, a dedicated "company man."
He was also the company's top chemical engineer involved with designing and developing new uses of grease-resistant, or perfluorinated, chemical-based coating for paper food packaging.
Breakdown chemicals from these coatings and related sources are now in the blood of 95 percent of Americans, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has spent the last several years trying to determine how they get there.
DuPont has claimed that it does not know how the chemicals got there — and that are not aware that their product is responsible.
"If we had any reason to believe that [there] was a safety issue for fluorinated telomers-based product, we wouldn't have commercialized them," DuPont Director of Planning and Technology Robert Ritchie told the Wilmington News Journal (11/23/03).
Today, however, Glenn Evers told in detail how his former employer hid for decades that it was polluting Americans' blood with a hyper-persistent chemical associated with the grease-resistant coatings on paper food packaging.
Environmental Working Group (EWG) has obtained and today made public a set of internal company documents that support Evers' story.
Combined, the Evers story and EWG's documents present a startling chronology of DuPont's actions:
--Evers describes how, in the mid-1960s, the company negotiated with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) a weak standard for how much of the paper chemical coating, which is applied to give packaging grease or liquid resistance, could contaminate food. The FDA at the time normally required a two-year study for chemicals it wasn't familiar with, but agreed to base DuPont's approval on a 90-day test with a 1,000-fold safety factor added. --Evers explains how that standard, which remains in effect today, was based on the premise that the chemical would leave the body quickly. He explained that as a company expert, he saw that the company knew, at least by 1981, that another class of perfluorinated chemicals, such as PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid), accumulates in people. It is unclear whether or not the company ever provided the FDA this information, but Evers explained how the company continued to worry about this information throughout the 1990s. --A company document shows that DuPont conducted a toxicological study in 1973 in which it was unable to find a safe level of exposure in lab animals, and that the chemicals were toxic to the kidneys, liver and blood. --A 1984 internal company memorandum raises the question of which of these crucial findings, if any, from the 1973 study were provided to the FDA. --A key document shows that in 1987, DuPont's Dr. Richard Goldbaum found that the company's marquee paper packaging coating chemical, Zonyl RP, could contaminate food at over three times the federal safety standard, while two effective alternatives contaminated food at half the federal maximum level. --Evers describes how he and others copied on the results of that study knew they were "devastating." Evers approached Goldbaum, and then Goldbaum's superior, Gerald Culling, telling each of them that the results were an enormous problem and that it would be unethical to continue selling the product. Both men told Evers not to worry, and that they were "taking care of it." --Evers realized with time that the company had not ordered a standard, internal process hazards review to find out why the chemical was above FDA approved levels. The company did not provide the information to customers, federal health officials and the public. DuPont did not recall the faulty product, did not stop its production, shelved the safer alternatives, and continued to make Zonyl RP — effectively producing for another 18 years the chemicals that would lead to the contamination of consumers' blood. --Evers says that one of the reasons the company stuck with the problematic Zonyl RP was that it had adopted the practice of blending substandard batches in with better batches — and selling the blended versions to its industrial customers. --Evers describes how DuPont's "Document Retention Program" required researchers to label all hard copy files to time their destruction. Company managers could audit employees to ensure compliance, and other staff went through employees' hard copy files to ensure documents were destroyed. A master computer program at the company deleted files from company hard drives after a certain period of time. --Evers tells of how 3M, DuPont's competitor, rapidly abandoned the $150 million per year business using perfluorinated chemicals on paper food packaging when it realized in 2000 that the chemicals were producing byproducts accumulating in human blood and that those chemicals were harmful to developing lab animals. Despite what it knew from the 1987 results by Dr. Goldbaum and the persistence and toxicity of its own chemicals, DuPont moved quickly to sell its similar chemistry to 3M's former customers.
EWG today sent the documents to the FDA's acting commissioner, as well as the inspector general of its parent Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), requesting the officials act on the new information. The group is also referring documents to relevant EPA officials.
"These documents indicate a failure to disclose critical public health information about a toxic chemical that never breaks down, that gets into our bodies and stays there," said EWG Senior Scientist Tim Kropp. "If we ever needed a reason to reform the nation's toxic chemical laws, every American now has one, courtesy of DuPont."
Evers' appearance and EWG's document release comes just a week before a potentially significant date in the civil suit the Bush administration's EPA has pursued against the company for suppressing health studies on PFOA, which is used in the production of Teflon pan coatings. Bush EPA political appointees could seek the maximum possible fine of $314 million, but they have shown little appetite for pursuing such a penalty. The next court date for the civil suit was negotiated to fall on Wednesday, November 23, the day before the Thanksgiving holiday and the busiest travel day of the year.
"DuPont thinks it has the right to pollute your blood with chemicals, but it doesn't," said Evers. "Someone could get a fine for dumping trash if he threw a used tire into the creek behind my house. This company continues to pollute the blood of the American public with a toxic chemical — what is it going to end up paying?"

so if this link is right does that mean all the other scientist and lab techs and Dupont insiders are wrong? :-* :-* :-*
Oh yeah this is going to get ugly for the BIG DU imo.
and heres the rebuttal thanx network dude

Here, try this article, it's more up-to-date:
Pay particular attention to the "Mindfully.org note" at the beginning of this article,
Mindfully.org note: It's important to know that PVC is the worst plastic know on earth. But it's equally important to understand that there is no "good" (benign) plastic.
No news yet fortunately!but there is still plenty of time left before open.I seriously hope they hold off any announcements just one more day at least,this will help with the PPS and its strength in growing.Interest is in DIAAF is based on what they do have and what its potential is,especially about all the negative news out on the PVC's and Dupont. Looking at the MM line up and the MM sitting at the ask at .01 flat might be trying to stop the gapper,think about it this way,if you were short in a stock and did not want it to gap and run wouldn't you want it to appear like its going to drop? I am willing to bet that no one can buy shares from the low ask MM at that level,that MM will be forced to move probably well before open because some big boy market makers such as NITE probably needs the shares to and willing and able to pay for them
Good luck to all today and you can expect some violativity imo,its the short week for the holiday and trading is going to be radical throughout all the stocks and on the big boards GM is going to drag many down when they make an important announcement around 8:30 or so.

I hope no newbies fall for these MM tactics,this one is heading up bigtime,look at the volume already in 5 minutes,its more then its trading for days in the past.

I think this was an MM shake. When I was trying to buy back on the ask at .0101, they wouldn't fill my order, and kept on selling at the bid. I think we've reached the bottom. Ya'll see that nice 2 mil buy?
