    Here's an interesting, yet morbid concept... Themed caskets and pet urns.. It's a little freaky, but I must admit that I am curious about this strange idea.

    This is what the company has to say about their unique business plan....


    Welcome to the Eternal Image Difference


    Most web sites tell you about the host company in “About Us.” Our take: it should be all “About You.” Whether you are a consumer, funeral professional, investor or reporter, our focus is on you – getting you what you want, when you need it.
    At Eternal Image, it’s not the same old thing.
    We combine the power of brand-names with 21st century materials and composites that won’t rot. We support our customers and partners through exceptional service and professionalism. And we work tirelessly to assure that the quality of the products from our workshops and the service from our professional partners meets the high standards you deserve.
    Where we come from...

    In an industry as unchanging and static as the funeral business, Clint Mytych is an unlikely CEO. At 26 he is poised to change one of the world’s oldest industries through a very modern technique: licensing.
    How did this happen? Mytych challenged himself to find an industry where branding – and licensing – had little or no impact to date. After months of research, Mytych hit upon what may be licensing’s last frontier – the funeral industry. Together with his partners, Nick Popravsky and Donna Shatter, Mytych crafted a business plan to bring top licenses to the funeral business.
    Then he set out to acquire the rights to key licenses. Almost every company EI approached immediately saw the opportunity. The true challenge was in convincing a handful to be the first to have their marks on urns and caskets.
    Beginning with four licenses – The Vatican Library Collection™, Precious Moments™, the American Kennel Club™ and Major League Baseball™ – the company began designing the first urns and caskets for these lines.
    During October 2006, Eternal Image introduced its first production urn, L’Italiano Classico from the Vatican Library Collection, at the National Funeral Directors Association Expo. The company also showcased the designs for the first Major League Baseball™ urns, Precious Moments urns and caskets, and the AKC-licensed pet urn. The products generated tremendous media and public attention.
    Today Eternal Image is rolling out products at the rate of about one a month. To learn more, click here to see more of each individual product line. And please contact us with questions or comments.
    What we stand for...

    Our mission is to give people the freedom to reflect the passions of their lives in a meaningful, tasteful way.
    We are focused on bringing top-quality funerary products to consumers who want their own passing (or the passing of a loved one) to reflect a life well-lived.
    Each one of our products is individually designed to the brand. We start with a blank canvas and design the casket or urn from paper to computer design to tooling. Where some companies take an existing casket or urn and just add a mural or attach accessories, Eternal Image products are completely designed to represent the specific brand.
    It’s what we would want – and the experience we want you to have. Want to know more? View the website and Contact Us – we are here when you are ready.

          I still own CRNT. It's to think about locking in profits.

          I'm playing a couple of penny stocks...

          HISC - I'm up 14% so far.

          RSDS - Up 89% so far

            Holding HISC...up 71% so far.

                That's what I love about the pennies....You can throw in some pocket change and, if you're lucky, you can end up hitting the jack pot.

                  My little PDGT is making some huge gains!

                  I'm sitting on profit with HISC. I'll hold out for more.

                  GOFH is in the green as well.

                  I'm anxiously awaiting Mr Markets next huge pick!

                          websman, how can you predict when one of these ridiculous spikes in a penny stock is likely to happen>?

                              You don't predict it... You find a penny stock that is sitting at a bargain price and you hold it. Sometimes you get lucky and you make a killing. other times you get tired of waiting and you cash out. Sometimes you lose.

                              Too bad I didn't discover POWN before it took off.

                              I did find PDGT though. I bought PDGT because they have a real product that has real potential, plus the share price was low. My buy price was .0019. PDGT closed is at .0085 today. If I wasn't holding this one for the long term, I might have cashed out the other day when it was close to .02. I sincerely believe PDGT will make a substatnial climb within the next couple of years.

                              I bought UCPJ on Peanuts recommendation. Unfortunately, I got tired of it and sold right before the big run. I made a small profit, but could have made a huge profit, had i only held on for a little while longer. I still like UCPJ, and may try to get back in if the price drops.

                              I bought HISC for .0007 and sold this week for .0008. There's too many shares for this one to do much, but I am trying to buy back in at .0006. LOL

                              Today I bought EPGL at .0017. This is an interesting compnay with a real product and real earnings. I'm looking for a nice profit with it. The downside is that it took about three hours for my 250,000 share order to fill. These are not daytrading stocks.

                              A lot of penny stocks are scam, but there are still some that have huge profit potential. Remember Mr Market and XKEM? Here's a link to that thread.... http://www.mrmarketishuge.com/showpo...29&postcount=1

                                My thread has gotten quiet. Why??? maybe it's because I've been working my Vulcan butt off lately...no time to post.

                                Still holding 2 little pennies.... PDGT and EPGL

                                Since my time lately has been limited, I've decided look for longer term holds. I need a couple of good growth stocks at a discount price, plus they must have three very important qualities...
                                EARNINGS, EARNINGS, EARNINGS!!!

                                Any suggestions? The VTP values all opinions.
