In at 98 cents per share. Unless the money they're looking for is not found because of cash hoarding going on in the market, things look promising. I'm imagining these guys in front of Shark TV show and wonder how the new investors will react. These guys not only have products but also the products that are on demand and these guys are well positioned in all the major oil fields like PA, ND, TX.    ENSERVCO to Boost Fleet Capacity With $6 Million Capex Budget; Reports 85% Increase in April Revenue Versus Same Month of 2012 Download PDF DENVER, CO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/16/13 -- ENSERVCO Corporation (OTCQB: ENSV), a provider of well-site services to the domestic onshore conventional and unconventional oil and gas industries, today said it will invest approximately $6.0 million in capital expenditures during 2013, with $4.7 million being allocated toward new equipment fabrication. The capex budget, which also includes $1.3 million for enhancements to existing equipment, will be funded through internal cash flow. Management estimates the annualized revenue potential from the new equipment at approximately $10 million. The equipment includes nine frac heating trucks with a total of 12 burner boxes, four hot oilers and two well acidizing trucks. The investments will expand ENSERVCO's frac heating capacity by 40 percent and increase its hot oiling fleet by 15 percent. "Although we reported record financial results during the two most recent quarters, we were nevertheless constrained by capacity limitations," said Rick Kasch, president. "This fleet expansion will enhance our ability to meet growing customer demand as we head into the busy season this fall." ENSERVCO also announced that sales during April 2013 reached $3.7 million, up 85% from the same month last year. The improvement was fueled in part by cool spring temperatures across the Company's service territories, as well as sustained demand for fluid heating services, particularly in regions where new hydraulic fracturing techniques require higher water temperatures than traditional frac designs. Management also commented on the increased trading volume in ENSERVCO's common stock in recent days. "We believe the improved liquidity is at least partially related to our November 2012 private placement. The shares and associated warrants were priced at $0.35 and $0.55, respectively. Given the significant increase in our share price during recent months, we believe it is likely some of the participants in the transaction are recognizing profits." Kasch added that management has not sold any shares subsequent to the November private placement. About ENSERVCO Through its various operating subsidiaries, ENSERVCO has emerged as one of the energy service industry's leading providers of hot oiling, acidizing, frac heating and fluid management services. The Company owns and operates a fleet of more than 230 specialized trucks, trailers, frac tanks and related well-site equipment. ENSERVCO serves customers in six major domestic oil and gas fields, and operates in Colorado, Kansas, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, Wyoming and West Virginia.

 The University of Mary is building two new apartment buildings north of campus for upperclass and graduate students to meet student housing demands. The two buildings, one for women and one for men, will hold a total of 92 students. They will have a number of amenities, like air conditioning, a kitchen and in-apartment laundry. They are scheduled to be finished by the time school starts in August. Greg Vetter, the executive vice president for the university, said the student population has been growing steadily in recent years. For the upcoming year, the school saw about a 3 percent increase in incoming students. The increase in the student population has led to a need for more residential housing. This has been particularly evident in the past couple of years with affordable housing becoming harder to find in Bismarck, said Lynn Geary, University of Mary’s director of student life. The extra space was obviously needed. The two buildings had more applications than could be filled by the housing deadline in March. There are close to 35 students on the waiting lists — mostly women, since the campus has a larger female population. The apartments were given out in order of seniority: graduate students first, then seniors and finally juniors. Only a few juniors managed to get a spot in the apartments, Geary said. Vetter said he thought the apartments were so popular because they offered a sort of “in-town living” while still on the U-Mary campus. “It’s a more attractive living arrangement than a residence hall,” he said. With more students needing or wanting on-campus housing in recent years, the school has worked with Expressway Inn to book extra rooms, if needed. Within the next three years, U-Mary also is planning to build a new campus center — the “campus living room,” as Vetter calls it. The university’s increasing population is exciting, Vetter said. “How cool is this?” he said. “We’ve got growth, our students are excited about it.” “There’s good things happening up here,” he added. http://bismarcktribune.com/new...

 Its been a great summer. YRCW went up from 5 dollars to 35 dollars today. BNCC now at 13 dollars per share. Next stop will be a while. Hold the stock for a year and only pay 10 per cent tax instead of 30 per cent or more. Just giving the range. Hold your stock for 10 years and let it grow and only pay the tax 1 time.  My current holding. BNCC YRCW BDCO NCT NCT- Recently added. Nothing new with this company other than its a spin off. Its a health care provider to baby boomers. Old people are becoming old faster than they thought. Read the investors presentation. Still a good price. July 31 is the time when I'll receive the so-called divident. BDCO- Its a refinary in Texas. Few months ago I mentioned about oil boom in the US. Well now, you all know that. BDCO- belongs to a stanford university educated Mr Carroll. Its a refinary that he bought back in 2006 out of bankruptcy. Back in those days, fracking was not as popular as it is today. Hence, he bought this refinary in the obsecure Nixon area of texas. Now the neighborhood boy and girls don't have to pipe their oil to Baytown or other coastal refinary locations. BDCO has something like a "mill" of the neighborhood. They'll not go broke. A stanford guy in the heat of Texas makes you wanna buy. Remember, T Boone Pickens says, in the stock market of oil industry, if the CEO does not hold the majority of the company or the stock, he/she will treat their shareholders like some monkey in Nepal.
