re APLN -
thank vic.
Say, I wonder what we can glean from the new name. I would imagine that the "AE" stands for "April Energy", which would probably mean we are still in the energy sector. Hope this time it's some kind of alternative fuel..
Not all together sure what the "Holding I" means, except that seems to imply there will be a "II".
Holding Company
A holding company is a company or firm that owns other companies' outstanding stock. It usually refers to a company which does not produce goods or services itself; rather, its only purpose is owning shares of other companies. Holding companies allow the reduction of risk for the owners and can allow the ownership and control of a number of different companies. In the U.S., 80% or more of stock, in voting and value, must be owned before tax consolidation benefits such as tax-free dividends can be claimed.[1]
Sometimes a company intended to be a pure holding company identifies itself as such by adding "Holdings" or "(Holdings)" to its name, as in Sears Holdings.
United StatesIn the United States, Berkshire Hathaway is the largest publicly-traded holding company; it owns numerous insurance companies, manufacturing businesses, retailers, and other companies. Two other large notable holding companies are United Continental Holdings and AMR Corporation, publicly traded holding companies whose primary purposes are to wholly own United Airlines and American Airlines, respectively. In some instances, holding companies have held capital for pending investments.

re APLN -
thanks ragmuff.
I first did a little cursory DD on this stock back in 2007.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=20509632
I have always dedicated a portion of my portfolio to very low liquidly plays like APLN that have very large spreads. I always surmised that the large spread could be a good indicator that the float is either low, or locked down. When I find one that I like, I put in extreme low ball limit orders and then just forget about it. Sometimes they fill, and then I do a little more digging.
Kinda sounds like a backwards approach, but when the dollars amounts are as low as what I am spending, it's pretty low risk.

re APLN & Joseph Bartel -
well.... there is a WHOLE BUNCH of info on the Hub regarding Bartel. Seems his hand has been in many plays. I've only just started to look around and it has gone to extremes. One company (SMPP) has an a/s of about 5B, and as you can imagine, it's a triple zero sub. Another company, AVIX, has an a/s of 500MM, and it's trading in dollars.
I'm gonna dig some more just to see what else I can learn, but at the end of the day I wonder if there is much that can be concluded about the future of APLN, since once he finishes the merger, I would imagine he is gone.
Now, all of the stocks that I looked at thus far have been pinksheets. That kinda makes me think that they will not be taking APLN straight to the OTCBB, but instead are going file a Form 211 with FINRA to become solicited.
I believe to do that they need audited financials and a market maker willing. Right?

Here is an old post made on hotstockmarket.com in April 2008.
Posted by: The Rainmaker
New DD for AVIX.....New CEO Joseph Bartel, very interesting new AVIX CEO.....His companies name is Elliot Watson.
Here's some background info on AVIX new CEO. Another reason why I like AVIX so much is because it looks like some big money players took over AVIX shell. Also, Bartel did a deal that made 8 million dollars profit. AVIX has 47 million shares OS. If Joseph Bartel puts just one of these type deals into AVIX and earns an 8 million dollar profit that would be earnings of 15 cents a share. That would put AVIX trading in the $1.50-$2.00 per share range at 10-15 times earnings. Huge upside on this deal thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Posted on: Sunday, 3 September 2006, 09:00 CDT
By Brian Neill, The Bradenton Herald, Fla.
Sep. 3--Joseph Bartel describes himself as a serial entrepreneur.
The 28-year-old Sarasota resident has dabbled in everything from real estate to a new product he said will revolutionize the plastics industry. He won't say what it is until he gets the idea patented.
Bartel operates under a limited liability corporation called Elliot Watson Companies LLC.
tinyurl.com/4npfgd
Then I found this about Joseph Bartel's Elliot Watson, they did a real estate deal and made 8 million dollars profit on it.
"I wish to purchase the property from the condominium association," Joseph E. Bartel wrote in a letter to the city's chief planner David Hilston dated Dec. 8. Bartel's group is considering re-developing the property with 30 condominium units.
http://tinyurl.com/4kpwpm
Bartel described himself as the founder of Sarasota-based Elliot Watson Co. He also said his firm spoke to representatives of the condominium's management.
Featured Properties
The following is a list of some of our projects:
Tranquility at Rock Dove Court
Punta Gorda, Florida
J. Cohen Group, in partnership with Elliot Watson Ventures, developed Tranquility at Rock Dove Court, a luxury waterfront residential condominium community in the prestigious Punta Gorda Isles neighborhood. After completing the design and entitlement process for the project, including receiving permits for boat slips, we sold the site to another developer for a significant profit. J. Cohen Group secured a 780% return on its investment.
http://jcohengroup.com/Featured_Properties.html
He now runs J. Cohen Group, a real estate development, investment, and project management company. He is also a partner in Elliot Watson Ventures, a real estate development company.
Developed Rock Dove Court, 18-unit luxury waterfront condominium in upscale Punta Gorda Isles, FL. Sold the $9.2 million project to another builder, earning a 780% return on equity. Sounds like Joseph Bartel's Elliot Watson made an 8 million dollar profit on this deal.

I see no mention of Bartel in the last PR that Morton issued announcing the name change. I am also confused by the share consolidation mentioned in the release. It seems it never happened? (Plus it's worded wrong. Should read 1 share for each 20 share basis in a consolidation which is the same as a reverse split). Note the links to the old website are now hosted by a poker site, which you already found.
"Golden Opportunity Resources, Inc. Announces Name Change and Share Consolidation
MISSOULA, Mont., June 2, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Golden Opportunity Resources, Inc. (Pink Sheets:GDNO), a Nevada Corporation, announces share consolidation of its issued and outstanding stock and name change.
William Morton, President and Director of Golden Opportunity Resources, Inc., announces that at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company on May 9, 2005, the Company has resolved at the meeting to consolidate the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a 20 share for 1 share basis, fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The shareholders further resolved to change the name of the Corporation to April Energy, Inc.
The name change and share consolidation will take effect at the market open on June 3, 2005.
Golden Opportunity Resources (Pink Sheets:GDNO) is a junior oil and gas exploration company focused on finding and developing undervalued oil and gas assets worldwide. Our plan is to build up a solid base of core projects that provide recurring monthly cash flows and on occasion enter into wildcat high risk/reward wells to add the potential of aggressive growth in our company for our shareholders. We are extremely excited about the future prospects of the company and look forward to growing the business with our shareholders for years to come.

re APLN & Shell Ownership -
turns out there are a couple of filings at pinksheets under the APLN ticker. The first filing I looked at was dated March 11, 2004 and pertained to Golden Opportunity (the company prior to April Energy). Here's what I picked up regarding the shares and ownership:
a/s 300MM (march 11, 2004)
o/s 45MM (march 11, 2004)
Float 15MM (march 11, 2004)
Ownership breakdown per the filing in march of 2004:
William Morton 9MM
William Strickel 4.5MM
Mike England 16.5 MM
Total 30MM
There was an Annual Report for 2004 made in April 2005, and the shares and ownership had stayed the same.
Now, I think that Joe Bartel entered the picture when it changed from Golden Opportunity to April Energy, but I am not 100% sure as I cannot find any filings or posts to prove it.
Company Notes
•Formerly=April Energy, Inc. until 1-2011
•Formerly=Golden Opportunity Resources, Inc. until 6-05
•Formerly=Regalsch, Inc. until 6-04
Now I just wonder if he still owns it now that it is AE Holding I.
One more thing I would like to note. Seems that the share structure from March 11, 2004 till Jan 5, 2011 did not change by very much in OTC terms.
Per Madison Transfer on Jan 5, 2010
a/s of 300MM
o/s of 52,753,510
That's a difference of about 7.75MM shares.
Will be very interesting to see where those shares went.

I have owned APLN for years now, and it has been brought to my attention they are on the daily list for tomorrow with a name change, but no r/s or ticker change. That caused me to check the NV SOS, and I found that it says "MERGE OUT". Does that mean they have merged with another company that is registerd in another state? TIA

re APLN -
thank you sir.
I've been trying limit orders for a couple of days now. I can place the order online, but so far nothing has filled. I've started as a low as .0025 and I have gone as far as .25 with still no fill.
To be honest, I am not surprised. Back in 2008 when I got the fill to sell (and then had it canceled) for $9.05 per share, the spread was like .01 x 9.05. Gotta remember that APLN was an unsolicited pinky before it went grey (which is basically two of the same thing except for the fact that now we don't have L2), and thus the spread has always been pretty much what retail has for sale.
From the time and sales we see that it only traded like 2 times in 2010. That would leave me to assume that there are simply no retail shares for sale at or below .25, and that the MM's don't have any either. I know all my limit orders to sell had expired, and I had not even bothered to renew them.
Can you believe that there has not been a trade in APLN since March of 2010, and that the total number of shares traded in 2010 was 280?

re APLN -
as of today, April Energy is now AE Holding I. The iHub board and chart has been changed accordingly.
I called my broker today and found out the new transfer agent for AE Holding I is Madison Stock Transfer. Their number is 303.422.8127.
I gave Madison a call, and they gave me the a/s of 300MM, and the o/s of 52,753,510. They would not give the restricted.
I asked them about April Energy/AE Holding I. They were nice enough to give me the attorney's name and number.
