It seems like the big 3 contract vehicles are about the get active. No way of knowing whether TCS will benefit but they certainly expect to based upon last conference call.

DISA CS2 $2.6b ceiling: TCS = satellite services/contracted bandwidth.

DHS Eagle II $22b ceiling: TCS one of prime vendors for unrestricted track one. Focus is IT services/software and maintenance

Army GTACS $10b ceiling: TCS believes they will be getting some solid Tropo systems awards.

For all these govt contracts, the 3rd calendar quarter is heaviest but with the 2-3 yrs of sequestration and no govt budget that may no longer hold true.

Making a comeback and should be growing the next few weeks.

Interview with Jay Whitehurst and Tim Lorello about product direction.

[martych]

Not Telecomsys whose call symbol is TSYS. Netspend was acquired 2 yrs ago by a financial entity TSYS whose call symbol is TSS. Very confusing.

[jcseattle]

They bought Netspend?

[martych]

Prepping for #Infrequentlyaskedquestions article based upon interview with Jay Whitehurst next week. Company seems to be making progress in commercial segment which is focus of article. Soliciting suggested Q's for interview.

Great innovator and patents IMO.

[ryan44]

[ryan44]

TSYS hit new 52 week high today. sold some and kept some. nice job and good luck to anyone else who played this. :)

[ryan44]

pretty strong move here :)

[Deep Space]

The slowdown in government spending was in 2009,if then.New budget passed and TSYS is primed.Commercial side has been very busy.

Have to look hard for a more impressive array of products,patents and services than TSYS.

[ryan44]

been awful quiet here

[martych]

Protest was always a long shot. They have never even discussed in on any call or in any conference. Not sure they even protested. WYY looks like it has some headroom still

[FairviewInvestor]

TSYS Lose Petition against $600M contract awarded to WYY?

07:46 AM EST, 11/04/2013 (MT Newswires) -- TeleCommunications Systems (TSYS), rose nearly 2% in pre-market trade after saying it has won a $40.5 million contract together with CACI International (CACI) to provide the U.S. Marine Corps with engineering services for its wireless point-to-point link systems and commercialization effort.

[ryan44]

good luck with ur meeting this week. any info would much appreciated.

[ryan44]

ONCS closed PO today. bot more this morning

[ryan44]

not sure I understand your question. OTC stocks when they run and are profitable will eventually uplist to nasdaq or other exchanges. this was just a sale of shares to raise money.

[ryan44]

they sell at a cheap price to raise the money they need to fund their research and development real fast. these companies don't make money yet, so they have to sell shares to keep the lights on. the last time they did this was july of this year. will post the chart and you can see were it goes. it's a two or three month hold or a 2 or 3 week hold, you never know. its sister company is INO will post that chart too. they use the same technology as ONCS. Been trading this one for about a year now and IMO its on the bottom or real close.

here's INO made a bunch on it.

http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=INO&p=D&b=5&g=0&id=p67075537076

the OTC is a scary world, but it can be a lot of fun also

[martych]

I read the two posts but am not sure I understand the point. Par value means nothing with respect to fmv. Selling to institutional investors at .25 with a kicker of warrant rights does set a market value that needs to be factored in by all investors. I don't trade OTC penny stocks so I could easily be missing something.

[Stockslayr]

So...how does this work? They IPO on an exchange and then dump the OTC? I don't understand how this works.

[ryan44]

the public offering was for institutional buyers. but on the OTC people run for the door when they see a low price on their stock

TeleCommunication Systems (TSYS) shares are soaring more than 8% in pre-market trade as it says it will provide Managed Satellite Services, Ku satellite bandwidth, terrestrial support and 24-hour support services for the U.S. Marine Corps' Tactical Satellite Communications Network. The initial funding on this award is $12.8 million for the base 12-month period, starting August 1.

[ryan44]

[martych]

First CS2 funded order received from DISA to provide managed satcomm services to Marines. $12m funded for first year with option years available to bring funding to $58m.

[Stockslayr]

Oh yeah? What company is making them... I'll buy shares of that along with the company that makes Tomahawk missiles....

[ryan44]

they are saying Israel can't keep gas masks on the shelves.

[Stockslayr]

Maybe we should be buying war bonds instead....

[ryan44]

thanks for the heads up on limelight.played it before and I like lpth also. been getting stopped out of stuff and too much red with a war about to start. going to watch for a minute and see how the market ,in general, does when we start bombing Syria.

[Stockslayr]

Hey Ryan I just received a buy alert from this paid service I'm in..... LLNW if you are interest... How are things going with you?

[ryan44]

[martych]

Good for you. I put limit in at $2.45 after fed minutes but no one bought. Seems bullish as price was $2.46 but no one wanted to hit my bid. Argues that no shorts wanted action and no longs were looking to exit. GL

[ryan44]

got some below 2.50 yesterday. so far so good

[martych]

Time to watch TSYS and the S&P. 50 day MA test. If both supports hold, TSYS looks like a buying opp.

[Stockslayr]

I was given short term guidance of $3 and long term $6. This will be a solid stock for a while.

[ryan44]

looks to be running again

[Stockslayr]

Oops gotta go. The ARTX I told you about just popped.

[Stockslayr]

Everyone is over watching ANSU pop. Up 16,000%. That's crazy!!

[ryan44]

jumped out this morning till it settles maybe cheaper

[ryan44]

Thanks marty, got burned on earnings one time, I learned real quick. Still think they are going to have a strong fall this year. Good luck with all your trades.

[martych]

Nice trade. I only sold 1/2 and am a buyer at these levels. Overall I wasn't too surprised by call. They usually disappoint and no orders yet for major contracts which are needed to rebuild backlog.
