Hypower Fuel Inc (EM) (HYPF)

I bought into HYPF a while back and hold a small position compared to most I'm sure. I think the way BRLL has been doing decent HYPF would be right up there as well. With the Administration going green these are the two I'm in and it just makes sense.

I am not 100 percent sure about the 5 year thingy but I think I read something about that way back when..

Hey CONCORD, long time since I have posted here. I think Benders imposed 5 year sabbatical ended on January 20 freeing him up to run hypf and all of it's glory. Same day Kamala Harris was sworn in as "Presidente". (pretty much when hypf started to run up) Plus hydrogen stocks are a big hit right now with the new admims anti oil and gas approach pushing alternative sources of energy higher. Bender may have some news soon would be my guess. He has had 5 years to fine tune a strategy. Might get interesting. Who knows?

Somebody wants to buy 775,000 shares! What's up with that??

Looks like HYPF is trading again!

Promotion — The security is the subject of stock promotion that may be misleading or manipulative. Promotional activities may include news releases, spam email, and newsletters, whether they are published by the issuer or a third party. See OTC Markets Group's Policy on Stock Promotion.

Investigation of Fraud or Other Criminal Activities — There is an investigation or other indication of fraudulent or other criminal activity involving the company, its securities or insiders.

Undisclosed Corporate Actions — The security or company is the subject of a corporate action, such as a reverse merger, stock split, or name change, without adequate current information being publicly available.

Other Public Interest Concern — OTC Markets Group may determine that there is a public interest concern regarding the security. Such concerns may include but are not limited to promotion campaigns (including third-party), unusual or unexplained trading activity, spam or disruptive corporate actions even when adequate current information is available.

OTC Markets will resume the display of this security’s quotes once adequate current information is made available by the issuer pursuant to the Alternative Reporting Standard or by the SEC Reporting Standard, and until OTC Markets believes there is no longer a public interest concern. Investors are encouraged to use caution and due diligence in their investment decisions.

OTC Markets Group Inc. ("OTC Markets") has discontinued the display of quotes on www.otcmarkets.com for this security because it has been labeled Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware). OTC Markets Group designates certain securities as “Caveat Emptor” and places a skull and crossbones icon next to the stock symbol to inform investors that there may be reason to exercise additional caution and perform thorough due diligence before making an investment decision in that security.

Why has HYPF stopped trading? Last trade was 2:12 pm est. Any news?

Anybody still following HYPF ??

Bender and his partner were fined 50K and banned for 5 and 10 years respectively from stocks by the Canadian securities exchange in 2014. They misrepresented the stock with fake news articles and claims.

Supposedly there was an article about it in a crypto publication a year or less back. It seems to move with very little volume. Although, with no SEC filing I wouldn't think that there could be much to it. Thanks

This can't come back from the dead. I once had 50 k shares in this crap stock. If it comes back to fruition I will be pissed. I know where the CEO lives.

L2 Looks great here!

Hmmmmmm whats cooking up in here, maybe something

Don't know why this is going up, but I'm not complaining. However, if it hits my break even point....I'm out. Been in the red since 08....time to exit when or if I break even.

No clue, has had solid bids in the .004s last couple of days. Ask is still thin, guess someone unloaded. I am still holding my shares....could be games...time will tell.

yikes man wtf

broke out of bull flag chart formation. lets run to 03

Well I don't know why...the company and its directors have been scamming shareholders for many years and in fact the Canadian SEC just ruled neither of them may engage in any kind of business or hold any corporate positions in a public company...so whats to invest in?...It is last minute players trying to keep a PPS up to get out IMO.

Based on the last 6mo chart, this one appears to be getting loaded last 2 weeks IMO.....

Just people trying to unload I think?....or trying to play the faint chance Bender is exonerated and the company survives...not gonna happen as far as I can see.

Why is this stock moving?

Not sure if they are holding him? Trial starts in March sometime I believe..Hope he swings the swine. He and Tom Both!

Did Bender end up going to jail?

Dougie was always a turd.

HAH HAH!! I JUST GOT A GOOGLE ALERT! DOUG BENDER and TOM are under investigation!! Hearing will be in April....good for the lying scoundrels!

Marty; I hope Bender is buying these cheap shares to go private...

Ken, bender is right on schedule.
well he is just a little late this year but he is now out of his cave and we should be getting more press releases with nice bumps up in the pps over the course of the year. I hope that this time we get some serious income and profit and move off of the pinkies to higher board. Let's hope this is the year. Good times ahead is my opinion here. JMO M

Exactly---they will follow! :)

Well at least he didn't post the fake financials this time .. ;)

Yeah Yeah Red, I bet you even picked up a few shares after beating it down...C'mon now, yo have to admit this is good that the silence has been broken...time will tell but I am encouraged because usually after a silence Bender comes up with a new angle...he didn't do that this time...it is still 2 companies and the same technology...poo poo it if you want, thats your nature. I choose to see my glass as having something in it. Not half full or half empty, but I do have the glass and there is SOMETHING in it.

A PR that says very soon we'll tell you something about the companies we have been talking to.....
Don't cash any checks yet

LOOKS THAT WAY MARTY! JUST PUT OUT A PR! Hold onto your hats folks, Don't tear up those ticket stubs yet!!!

Is benders yearly hibernation almost over?
Historically Bender usually comes out of his cave around February and March. Better pick up them there shares quickly! jmo M

wow,
I don't see what was wrong with my last 2 posts but they got deleted.. no wonder there aren't many people posting here.. humor is not allowed. M

Just a little dark humor LOL,
but really there has been a lot of effort by the MM's to bring this stock back down to pre February 11th of last year.. My guess is stocks have been accumulated at these really low prices once again gearing up for the usual "bender" streak of PR's.. last year it occured early February and ran for some time.. The "canadian Bender" seems to do this every year.. Although the "canadian bender" is only about the size of a gerbil it does get it's message out every spring/early summer.. Have a great day and let's hope the hibernation is coming to an end! M

GOBBLE THEM SHARES UP!!,,
SOME "ONE" lost their nerve and is selling.. This is the moment all of you playas have been waiting for.. all that work time and effort selling and bashing it seems has paid off. buy buy buy. M

Sorry guys writing was on the wall for a while with the PR's last year. Hope you can get the tax write off.

The man is delusional......down to the trips we go!

Here's a bit from memory lane,
and a special thanks to hypf and especially douglas bender for keeping all of the share holders in the loop as to what's going on.,.. I love this company and Sir douglas bender.. when I grow up I want to be just like him. Oh and yes dougie we share holders are quite impressed with this TC2's technology that you were going to fill us in on in July of last year.. thanks doug for following through with that information.. You are just peachy in my books.. LOL

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - 07/13/11) - HyPower Fuel Inc. (PINK SHEETS:HYPF - News) -HyPower hereby reports that it has established protocol and logistics associated with releasing verifiable information regarding the Air Power technology underlying its second Target Company (TC2).Mr. Douglas Bender, CEO of HyPower, commented that "HyPower is encouraged by the cooperation it has been receiving from TC2's management in giving us access to valuable information from TC2's Consulting Engineer while providing a framework for ensuring that none of this information will jeopardize TC2's product protection or plans for development. Investors and shareholders have been asking for verifiable information and this will be forthcoming from TC2's professional advisors over the next few weeks. We know that our shareholders will be impressed with the technology associated with TC2."

LOOK OUT Below---run for the doors!!AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!----LOL

The stock is dead........

Just my opinion, of course, but I think that we have all been had by HYPF. The whole company seeme to be a backyard project by an amateur from the backwoods of Alberta. The players appear to be completely overcome by events and have no idea of what they are doing. They may have either committed fraud, or are completely ignorant of the law, and have released fictitious press releases in the hopes of unloading worthless shares.

I hope everyone has a Happy New Year and that our investment choices in the coming year are better than this choice!

Concord I have a couple of questions for you,
in your post RE #1188 you CLEARLY STATE that hypf "paid some relatives in shares to pump the stock and put out some ridiculous press releases..." you make this statement as a matter of fact and not a guess or assumption so on what do you base this slanderous defamation of character statement on? Your statement was definitely not categorized as a possible scenario but rather as a matter of fact. Show me what you base this definitive statement of fact on. The following is a copy of your post for your benefit and others here. OH and thank you for providing your evidence supporting your statement in advance. M here is the post:

Concord
Re: Thudmother post# 1188

Thudmother, you are absolutely correct. The only one left on this board is Kenny!

HYPF has failed to function as a company for some time. They paid some relatives in shares to pump the stock and put out some totally ridiculous "press releases", but they have lost all credibility. There are rumors that the stock will be delisted. The company has gone into a black hole. There isn't enough activity for a market maker to even sell it! Trading activity is just a couple of the board members over at Raging Bull, but they are just buying and selling to themselves. Nobody really wants the stock, as you are well aware!
