Appears to be doing the right things at the right time. Nice exposure to China and no debt.

Heckmann (the CEO) has done some pretty good things at the helm of prior companies. The thought of everyone in China drinking bottled water like we do here in the US is enticing. Still very speculative play at this point.

this is my second go around with them they held steady for about a month and I sold them to get into cash in case there was a nice drop--I picked them back up about 40 cents lower. They are doing work in china with clean water. china does not have enough water so it is really tough for me to see a downside. Management or some really stiff competition are the only things I can see blowing this one for me--management did have enough confidence in the company to repurchase 14mil in capitol stocks last quarter.

We have fallen for this fad in the USA hook, line and sinker. Any reason to believe the Chinese people will not fall prey to the same marketing? I'm betting they will be swigging bottled water by the zillions.

What isn't to like about this stock, I think it is only a matter of time until this stock explodes. The downside seems limited from here.

I like the story. Manager with a successful track record, strong early-life balance sheet with no LT Debt, and buying up bottled water. Assuming China lags the US by a decade or so, if bottled water catches on over there anywhere close to like it did it the US, this company should see some nice profits. Structure is more convoluted than than I can imagine, but I'm in with a small amount of $$ to get started and will keep my eye on it.

This is an IPO so everybody knows what they're getting into. But this is an amazing opportunity for a variety of reasons. First of all the CEO. Do a little reading about Richard Heckmann and you'll see that the guy has been incredibly successful in making companies profitable. It sounds cliche but every company this guy takes control of turns to gold. Second is the market. It's China people...and they have terrible pollution and that includes a great deal of the groundwater. They also happen to have over a billion people, several million of whom are joining the middle class every year and can afford to buy bottled water. Third is the fact that Heckmann is the major water supplier for Coca Cola's operations in China. They don't call it the "black water of capitalism" for nothing. Coca Cola has less than 20% market penetration in China as of right now. Take a look at their history in other countries and you know this is a temporary situation. Last but not least...it's WATER! This in a country where water is becoming more and more scarce by the year. It's not exactly something you can look for a cheaper alternative to is it?

Huge upside potential. Keep ahead of the crowd that's busy with raw materials and technology plays.

Just like QCOR, this stock has been flat throughout the bailout carnage. This stock is ready to pop.

This is the best performing stock out of all recent IPO's. Need I say more...? It is indeed very cheap right now.

China's water supply is insufficient to meet the growing demand for clean pottable water , Heckman is there to meet that need.

Richard Heckmanns Blank check IPO. A blank check basically is just that. Investors are betting on Heckmann to do the company (and their pocketbooks) justice through using their hard earned to make more money through deals and mergers and aquisitions. As wioth any blank check tehre are lots and lots of risks. You are in essence handing a man your money and saying make me more, there is also a huge upside. If he does well the value can literally be astounding. First know this is a risky LONG term investment. Those two words rarely should go together. Buy this stock... gather the share certs up and lock them away... go back and check in 2 years and see if anything happened. If no acquisitions or mergers occur two years after the public offering, the company would automatically dissolve and the funds would be distributed to shareholders.
