Today is when the 2.4mil debt should expire

$gevo starting to run, hopefully $biof will follow soon

Over 0.20 would be a good sign

Over 0.20 would be a good sign

First good week for $biof in a long time, looks like things are finally turning around.

Thx! Good news indeed. Maybe in a vouple of weeks something else.

Lates 10q

https://ih.advfn.com/stock-market/USOTC/blue-biofuels-qb-BIOF/stock-news/94345461/form-10-q-quarterly-report-sections-13-or-15d

That is good news. Can you provide a link to where you fiund that or at least say where and if it is accessible? TIA

Another good thing coming, looking at financials:
“$2,417,502 will be discharged if not paid by September 18, 2024, which is 5 years after the Company exited bankruptcy. “

Seems this will expire soon, without convertible into stocks. So a plus to shareholders

Breaking through the resistance at $0.09 is bullish no matter if the share price holds.

I know . itis good to be positive on this again

No worries, it was just a joke.

I am a man for whom when the facts change I revise my opinion.A shocking thought to some

What’s all this positive talk? who are you people ;)

Yes, I think we are finally turning the corner.

soon .val . looks like they have finally turned the corner conversations are onging.also looks like the sellers are out of the way for now

We need another 100 days like today to be at $1))) i hope we will see prices over dollars in our lifetime for this stock

There does seem to be a little market reaction. Only up about a penny from yesterday's close, but that's about 11 percent. Let's see if it holds.

In case anyone is interested, at this link is a description of the DOE sbir grants and the three phases. Blue just got phase two which is for technology development. Phase one, proof of concept, phase two, Technology development. The DOE lists phase two as lasting 24 months. Phase three is listed as commercialization. There is no limit to the amount of phase three awards. https://www.sbir.gov/sites/all/themes/sbir/dawnbreaker/img/documents/Course9-Tutorial4.pdf One of the ideas of phase three is that government agencies can be customers of the newly commercial companies. this all sounds very good.

https://www.sbir.gov/

I think this is the best news we had in a while. The cts process and the grant money is an indication that things work, so hopefully soon we will get more positive news, especially on financing and commercialization. That will be a game changer news if or when they come

Not too many people know about this stock and those who do are already fully invested. The stock will move when they get funding for a plant.

Pretty good news, yet stock flat to down and no volume. Go figure the logic…(((

Thanks valeria123. great news indeed. Let's see what the market thinks of it.

Good. I also saw that they got the $1.15 million grant from DOE phase 2, this is very good news.

News out, upgraded cts process. https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/BIOF/news/Blue-Biofuels-Produces-Ethanol-in-High-Yield-from-Multiple-Feedstocks-in-its-Upscaled-CTS-Process?id=451988

Another month another nada. Thanks $biof management for great progress and returns to shareholders.

That was a major portfolio adjustment for me. Nothing to see here.

Huge volume today..........36 shares traded by 1:20pm.

Better not be sept of 2035)

if anyting shows up wont be until after september

Even gevo is waking up… let’s hope we have something to show soon…

in for a penny in for a pound at this point these boy have little choice, the have to pay the staff and and keep ben happy, even thoughhe keeps gumming up the works

Don’t think they’d throw good money after bad results

Maybe… but at this phase we will all be old or lucky to see something materialise with this company. It’s been already 5 years alone since Ben did the bankruptcy, at this speed, it will take another 25 years to produce something…

The new convertible debt is all from directors of the company. They should know more about what is going on than we do and this is a vote of confidence. In addition, it the new notes seem to be non-interest bearing. All this seems like good news. They will still have to raise money to build a plant, but at least director Kneppers.

And the convertible notes have a fixed conversion price so they are not toxic.

A bit strange about the convertible debt a lot now

A bit strange about the convertible debt a lot now

The 10q came out on 8/8/24. It showed they have enough money to last the next few quarters. That may account for the volume increase.
It's available on otc markets.

Any news today or just some excited retail buyers in the neighborhood?

I would assume Ben… call him and see what he says

so who know something

back yo .01 we go

Good to know. Thanks for the info.

$BIOF

Based on who Ben is and why he is here for so long, doing toxic financing, would be the stupidest thing he would do. So, if anything, I would say he would never do it. As much as I hate their progress and communication, I do not believe Ben would kill the company like this. He has a lot of skin in the game, so let's hope they get some real investment or JV or something.

I also hope they don't do it via toxic financing. THAT will kill them.

$BIOF

Sounds like the Tech works. The concern is the same as always. Financing to buy a plant. Not cheap, I hope they don’t try to do that via dilution (at least not at these prices)

Now? It's always been a hit-or-miss play.
