Question
I bought Blue Gold Int'l Com shares back in Nov 2003 and am wondering what ever happened to them?  Is the company in business?  Are my shares worth anything?  I believe it was a company that was harvesting mussels somewhere in the Maritime's.

Answer
Tom, Blue Gold is a company I am asked about fairly frequently, as a lot of people were stuffed with the stock by a now shuttered brokerage firm. Unfortunately, from the information I have available, the shares have no current value. The Company ran into regulatory problems in 2000 after they stopped filing their required financial information. They were suspended, delisted, and cease-traded at that time.
