Changes for SEC Rule 144

At an open meeting, Monday December 3rd, the SEC adopted the most significant amendments to Rule 144 in over a decade. Even though the concept was favorable, the SEC decided not to combine Form 4 and Form 144 for right. Ultimately, the rules will not include the proposal of a tolled holding period for up to six months while a security holder is engaged in hedging transactions. However, under the final rule amendments (effective 60 days after publication), the holding period for restricted securities of reporting companies will be shortened to six months. As well as, under the substantially simplified…

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) – Peru Sweetens on Sugar Cane

For years Brazil was stealing the headlines concerning Ethanol production, but all the while a quite buzz was developing in the background concerning Peru.

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) – Cane is Able

Some 30 odd years ago Brazil made a bold decision. They decided that the best route they could take towards energy independence and a move away from importing oil was to use their vast acreages of sugar beets and sugar canes to distill fuel. As international oil prices continue to soar, that bet has put Brazil's decades old gamble at the forefront of a "biofuels" movement in which many countries view sugar cane, corn, soybeans, beets, cornstalks and native grasses as cleaner, money-saving substitutes for oil. This is especially true of oil produced in politically unstable countries where just the…

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) – Sugar-based Ethanol Sounds Like a Sweet Deal

Ethanol is a clean-burning, high-octane fuel that is produced from renewable resources – in the case of Stratos Renewables, from sugarcane that can be grown and harvested in Peru year-round. Sugarcane, containing the highest starch content of any plant stock, enables nearly three times the ethanol yields when compared to U.S. corn, helping to drive down costs and balance supply and demand. Sugar-based ethanol produces 80 percent less net greenhouse gases than gasoline, and boasts an estimated higher “energy balance” of just over 8:1. Also, because sugarcane is a renewable resource, ethanol fuel produced from it satisfies short-term needs and…

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB) – How Ethanol is Produced

Technologically, the process of producing ethanol from sugar is simpler than converting corn into ethanol and uses about half the energy. While converting corn into ethanol requires additional cooking and the application of enzymes, sugar requires only a yeast fermentation process and the removal of water. The process begins with cultivating and harvesting sugarcane at a cane field. Further processing is done at the sugar mill where the cane stalks are shredded and then crushed to extract the cane juice. The byproducts of this process are cane molasses, used in the production of alcoholic beverages, fuel alcohol and for direct…
