Having been in the oil and gas business for so long, many companies have the luxury of planning for cycles of production. As this well drains down another is just about ready to come on line. Finding these types of companies, as commodity natural gas and oil move higher, will likely lead to profit. Pyramid Oil Co., an oil and gas exploration and extraction company, works to develop and market oil and natural gas products primarily in California, Texas, Wyoming and New York. The company was founded in 1909 and sells its products to pipeline companies, refineries and crude oil purchasers. As one might suspect, general revenues were down at the end of 2009 as oil and natural gas prices lowered. This trend, however has appeared to reverse with oil hovering around $80. According to the company, it can maintain reserves while finding $220,000 in operational savings. Overall this has left the company in fine position for future expansion. One particular drag on earnings was not planned for in 2008 as new water

Energtek Inc. is leading the drive for the development and commercialization of what some are calling one of the most unique green energy technologies. It’s called Adsorbed Natural Gas (ANG), and it makes the use of natural gas, the cleanest burning of all fossil fuels, possible in ways not available before. It’s important to the environment because natural gas produces far less carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrous oxides than any other fossil fuel. It’s also readily available, fairly evenly distributed throughout the world, especially in Asia where fast growing economies are energy hungry. The fact that these same countries are under increasing pressure to be environmentally responsible makes natural gas even more attractive. The problem has been that storing and transporting natural gas isn’t as easy as working with oil. Oil and gasoline are liquids, concentrated enough to easily store and run through pipelines. But natural gas needs to be either liquefied or highly compressed, and that runs

WikiLoan, Inc., operator of a financial social network, yesterday presented its history and progress to shareholders. CEO, Mr. Garibaldi stated, “Remember, Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Steven Jobs? – They all started out as the proverbial ‘two guys in a garage’ creating a business that they believed would transform antiquated models. We started out like them – Two guys in a ‘garage’, with a vision to replace an old platform with a 21st-Century one. We overcame tremendous obstacles, spent over $1 million and 20,000 man-hours, to create this new platform that we believe will take the lending business to its next evolution. Like us, Gates and company, recognized a time to raise capital and bring on seasoned management into their ‘garage,’ so their creation could go to the next level.” He continued, “The boldness, relentlessness and uphill battles to uphold a belief are exhausting, and that’s why just a few brilliant entrepreneurs get to the finish line. And, that’s also why some archaic institutions, such as

Hulburt, the CEO of Rex Energy Corporation, said, “It was a challenging year, but we were able to increase production and nearly double reserves while maintaining a conservative balance sheet through careful debt management and a structured hedging program. I am extremely pleased with the company’s strong finish in 2009 and believe that we are poised for tremendous growth throughout 2010.” REXX Energy is an oil and gas exploration and production company with operations in two areas.

Lithium Corp., an exploration business based in Nevada devoted to discoveries of new, cleaner energy related resources, recently announced that the company has recently acquired an additional lithium brine prospect in north/central Nevada. The project was acquired through staking a 1280-acre parcel that covers an embayment of the Humboldt River Valley. Results from an exploratory sediment sampling, conducted in July/August 2009, showed samples in the south-central playa returning values consistent with the average 395 parts per million of lithium. The strong lithium values obtained indicate that this area may be quite prospective for brine hosted mineralization at depth. Lithium Corporation will continue to generate, evaluate and acquire other lithium properties in Nevada and throughout the United States. In addition, the company plans further sampling programs, and more study during the summer of 2010. For further information please contact Samantha White at (888) 299-3989 or via email at

Standard Motor Products also showed an improvement for 2009 results, reporting earnings from continuing operations of $5.9 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the year. In 2008, the company reported a loss from continuing operations of $21.1 million, or $1.14 per diluted share. Management attributed the improved showing to new contracts in several business lines, and a healthy aftermarket for automotive parts. The company also said that business trends year to date in 2010 were running ahead of the same period of 2009. “We are pleased with our results, both for the fourth quarter and the full year 2009. For the second quarter in a row, sales were ahead of the comparable quarter in 2008,” said Lawrence I. Sills. Standard Motor Products also

Guanwei Recycling Corp., China’s largest recycled low-density polyethylene (LDPE) producer, which is German Environment Auditing Association-certified (allowing them access to high quality plastic waste from Europe), disclosed today that the Company has entered this year with twice as many suppliers and an increase of 50% in the number of its customers. Set to show FY 09 results this month, GURC picked up 90 new customers in 10 different industries in the second half of 09 due in large part to the rebounding Chinese economy – an increase most strongly represented among the Company’s new customers, who are building and infrastructure clients. Outstripping even this extraordinary increase in the customer base was the growth in the sheer number of suppliers of raw materials, leading GURC Chairman and CEO Mr. Chen Min to directly comment that the explosive demand for recycled plastic “raw material procurement” was the key growth factor for the industry. Mr. Chen Min noted the increase to 10 long-term

One of our writers just returned from a two week trip to Haiti led by a missions group. When she returned we asked for an article detailing her experience. If anyone would like more information on how to help or what the Haitians’ needs are, please email Sherri at bedaire@yahoo.com. It’s been said a picture is worth a thousand words – and I disagree; if it were so, I could spend the rest of my life taking pictures in Haiti and still never fully portray the devastation of the January quake and its aftermath. Visiting a third-world country is in itself an eye opener – pair that with natural disaster and you’ve got an indescribable experience. I spent two weeks in Port au Prince reaching out to families and communities largely untouched and undiscovered by NGOs (non-governmental organizations). Without a set agenda we were able to stray through alleys and find communities hidden from the main streets. We provided minor medical care, bought and secured tarps to create rain-proof dwellings, and prayed with
