Someone did the math for me a few picks before mine, this is at a whopping 125 times book value!?!?!? Can you imagine if a company like GE was trading at that multiple of their book value, they would be a multi-trillion dollar company.





I'm not sure how they have a PE of 35 if they have not had any sales in the past 4 years!?!?!?





Also, for anyone who is bullish on this stock and has not taken Business 101. There is this thing that most companies have to make in order to survive, its called a profit. In order to do that, you usually have to sell something.





But hey maybe Sulphco is the exception to this rule. You never know, I never trusted my business teachers anyway.

TheFool has obviously not done it's dd on this stock. Gunnerman has had nothing to do with this company since being ousted by a new independent board over a year ago.

Gunnerman is religated to being the principal stockholder who has agreed to stand still with stock sales other than stock sold recently to pay lawyers who successfully defended him and the company in a patent rights lawsuit. Gunnerman prevailed and the patents are still with the company.

The inexprienced poster, Younginvestor99, is more Fool than Motley. He/she needs to understand that until you have a revolutionary new process that is proven to work commercially there is no possibility to develop revenue from it. That has been the case with Sulphco's sonor process. Y99 also needs to realize that even a modest amount of dd could have kept him/her from foolishly using GE as an example. The new CEO of Sulphco is a GE SIxSIgma black belt. THAT is Business 101.

The current BOD has impeccable credentials. Even Newbie dd could figure that one out. Apparently Y99 could not.

MF also needs to do some DD to realize that this short position is held largely by a firm well known and previously sanctioned by the SEC for predatory short selling. Their huge short position was taken years ago when Gunnerman ran his company autocratically and was too optomistic about the timely progress of his invention. This short position is in no way reflective of the investment community as a whole.

Even modest dd will reveal that SUF's sonocracking process has been perfected and they are on the verge of announcing their first contractual agreements.

With due respect to Headwaters, MF's lack of dd simply shows that MF does not understand the difference between the different technologies. MF's comments are stunningly misleading, which is a shame.

MF should take a moment and get up to date on this company and then do the right thing and at least present an objective view of SUF.
