MMIO.ob Unscathed By Hurricane Ike.
Marmion Industries Corp. (MMIO.ob) is back in the news today with the announcement that its new corporate headquarters was not harmed by Hurricane Ike.
The press release is likely very warmly received by MMIO investors anxious to hear something out of the company. As evidenced by the three month chart to the right, shares have dipped considerably as of late on pretty thin volume.
The stock is down about 20% today on just 5,000 shares and has hit its recent low of $.004. Trading action has been heating up over the past few days however, so I'll be very curious to see what trend the stock decides to follow early on today.
If we see $.003 on relatively high volume (100K shares), that could be trouble. However, if the stock can fight its way back up to its recent high print range of $.005 - $.0055, we could pay witness to another bounce like we did back in mid-August. I'll check back with MMIO.ob in a few hours to see what is cooking here. Let's hope for the best!

We have obtained the necessary licenses in Louisiana and during the first quarter of 2008 we received our first orders from customers in Louisiana."
Including offshore production, Louisiana is the number one producer of crude oil and the number two producer of natural gas among the 50 states. The oil & gas industry is a giant economic engine for Louisiana's economy, supporting $70.2 billion in sales for Louisiana firms (Louisiana Mid-Continent Study, 2007).

Share price has been pretty much parked at $.01 with very little volume after showing some signs of momentum back in late April/early May. As we have seen before, however, just a little bit of positive corporate news can surely get things back on track. The question is, when will that be?
