I believe they do have some close to announce. You're not going to predict 12 millions unless you are almost sure you're successful in getting them. Otherwise, it would be all BS and false misleading info. Remember they iterated several times. If they do select to issue them after July 1, then what's to occur now and that time? They got to do something in between. I thought they like to enhance shareholder value. By the way, we usually see shrinking shareholder value in penny stocks instead. Whoever making the right plays would benefit the most. Yawn.....
maybe they don't even have contracts,and if they do ,management
might wait til July to announce anything so they can sell their
free shares, like management at vper did.
It seems never coming! We supposed to hear something significant after the acquisition being finalized. The stock wants to break down under .10 as buyers are missing and some are getting impatient. Looking forward to next week -- perhaps another silent week again.
we all knew that..it's a release with
no sustance
...WE NEED CONTRACTS !!!!!!!
News release after the bell
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/050419/dfts.ob8-k.html
I'd be happy to see .25 again.
Some good news after the close;getting rid of the troublesome doors and geting a million shares back.We should see a pps change tomorrow.
Do you know how many shares DFTS will issue to NMKT?
new, just you and me posting here. Not much excitement. Expecting a run, but it still hiding from us. I wish the company has more communication to shareholders. Anyway, whatever happens happens.
U.S. to Tighten Border Controls by 2008
1 hour, 38 minutes ago White House - AP Cabinet & State
By LARA JAKES JORDAN, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - Americans traveling to Canada and Mexico would need passports to come home to the United States under guidelines proposed Tuesday in the latest effort to deter terrorists from entering the country.
The new rules, which would be phased in by 2008, apply to Americans traveling from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, the Caribbean and Panama. They also apply to citizens from those countries who want to enter the United States — prompting Canadian officials to announce that they might reciprocate.
The regulations mark a dramatic shift from a policy that allows Americans to return home from neighboring countries without a passport. They also raise the potential of hampering tourism and commercial traffic with the United States' two immediate neighbors.
An estimated 60 million Americans — about 20 percent of the national population — have passports.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said U.S. officials have been working with their international counterparts "for some time" to shore up security measures without crimping the flow of commerce across borders. The new rules were called for in intelligence legislation Congress passed last year.
"There's a very strong awareness that these are tremendous commercial borders and that you don't want to hinder the commercial activity," Rice said in an interview with The Associated Press. "But at the same time, you've got to have some controls that help you prevent people who are trying to come in and hurt us."
She added: "It's part of the recognition that in 2001, when Sept. 11 happened — and frankly before that, when you think about the millennium plot in 1999 — these were borders that I think no one could call secure."
Canada was deeply embarrassed by the millennium terrorist plot, when U.S. customs caught a man with explosives trying to enter Washington state from Canada in December 1999.
Canadian Public Safety Minister Anne McLellan said American citizens may need passports to cross the northern border if the U.S. follows through with its regulations.
"Our system has really always worked on the basis of reciprocity," McLellan told reporters outside the House of Commons in Ottawa. "And therefore we will review our requirements for American citizens and we're going to do that in collaboration with the United States."
"There's no point in either of us going off in a direction without working together to determine how best we can facilitate the flow — a free flow — and movement of low-risk individuals," she said.
Canada is the United States' largest trading partner, with $1.2 billion worth of goods crossing the border every day. Nearly 16 million Canadians entered the United States last year, generating an estimated $7.9 billion in travel-related revenues, according to data provided by the Travel Industry Association in Washington.
"With Canada being our biggest market, obviously we have some concerns about the impact potentially about inbound Canadian travel to the U.S.," said association spokesman Rick Webster. "But we have some lead time to work with our Canadian travel partners to get this information out to them."
A spokesman for the Mexican Embassy in Washington said the regulations "won't affect the tourism flow or people who trade and do business between the three countries in North America."
The new requirements would take effect on Dec. 31, 2007, for travelers entering the United States from Mexico and Canada by land, and on Dec. 31, 2006, by air or sea.
The deadline is a year earlier — Dec. 31, 2005 — for travel from Bermuda, the Caribbean and Panama.
The proposed rules are scheduled to be finalized this fall. Until then, the government will solicit comments from the public.
Currently, Americans generally need to show a driver's license or other government-issued photo identification to cross the border from Canada.
Customs officials usually require more proof from Americans returning from the other countries affected by the new rules, including both government-issued photo IDs like a driver's license plus proof of citizenship like a birth certificate.
On occasion, Americans returning from these countries are allowed back after only verbally declaring their citizenship, said Homeland Security Deputy Assistant Secretary Elaine K. Dezenski.
Once the new system takes effect, people entering the United States from Mexico will continue to be able to use a border crossing card or SENTRI card instead of passports. These cards are obtained after background checks and other security measures.
On the northern border, the NEXUS card for preapproved, low-risk travelers; and the FAST card for commercial workers will be acceptable instead of a passport.
More than 1.1 million people enter the United States every day, said Dezenski.

We haven't see this stock getting excited for quite a while. I agree, don't ever bought too much on thinly traded stock like this one. There were several spikes before I purchased it. None since I bought. Wonder if we'll see another one. Only a contract news will hype it up. But when?(I know I'm a little bitchy here) I know nobody knows except management.
I'm worried for those that bought high....I'm not worried. I
don't have that much either.
new, are you worried about today's action? Could see .09s again tomorrow. Expecting contracts, but seemingly they're hard to come. Communication from the company is terrible, as far as PRs are concerned. Also, homeland security hype has been calm down quite a bit. If there continue lacking positive news, this stock maybe a dead stock. What are management doing behind the scenes? Haven't see a contract since last October!
I agree, we all know that.
Still no contract news!!!! And that's what it takes! Sleepy stock!
It will come ,they will get some sales one way or another.
We share the same view. We're waiting on luck! If we get a contract, we should rise out of this range. If we don't, we're just unlucky. So far, technicals are telling we're ready.
There obviously has to be a contract.We just need 1 as a
release. That's all it will take.
Some foolish(or smart) buyer keep supporting the bid under NITE recently. Have you aware of it? If this stock goes up, he hit the jackpot; if not, he must be crazy. Looks to me this stock is just waiting for a catalyst. But if it's taking too long, it can become very nasty.
I'm presuming it's July.All he said was when DCI will vend into
DFTS.
If so, why put money in this stock? Wait for a few pennies instead. You've got to be kidding, or is Rick out of his mind! If your own company has signed contracts, you can always announce it whenever it's ready. Didn't it forecasted 4 millions for itself(dfts.ob) this year, besides 8 million for DCI?
By the way, why would you say contracts is coming in the previous posts? Anyway, who cares about this stock anyway if its management isn't doing anything to back up its forecast?
I was told by Rick that we will see contracts only when
DCI will become DFTS , which I think might be July.
The reality is we still haven't see a contract for some months, and so is our stock price lags. I'm begging them to issue one. Waiting is the hardest part.
Dream?! What are you talking about?! It's reality.
That would be a dream come true! Hope so.
anything above .20 and I'm dumping.
I wish we've something good coming. Timely one would send this higher out of this trading range which has been for some months. GLTA!
depending on contracts.
More drop in stock price as well??? No contract announce for 5 monthes, and counting.
Rick sent it to me.
new2005: Where did you find this information?
DFTS Financial Forecast for 2005
NMKT ‘s Homeland Security subsidiary has a trailing 12 months of $5 million in profitable revenue and a 2005 revenue forecast of a profitable $8 million. The combined operations of DFTS have a $10 million revenue forecast before any consideration of additional acquisitions.

no kidding...it's starting to be a bummer
OK, after NYC road show Wednesday, thats enuf stock promoing, the word is out now on DFTS, so now is the time to get some contract/revenue news out and start this dog running! eom
Kerik made big money selling Taser stock: SEC probing safety statements
By CBS MarketWatch
Jan. 7, 2005
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Taser International, whose electric "stun" guns have come under criticism in recent months, said early Friday that it is cooperating in an informal U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission inquiry of its safety statements and sales to a distributor.
The news sent its shares down 6 percent in premarket trade on Instinet to $26 from $27.62 at Thursday's close.
The inquiry was disclosed by the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based maker of the weapon, which is in wide use in U.S. law enforcement and military agencies.
Questions about the weapon's safety -- and studies used to support safety claims -- were raised last fall in the media, where the New York Times reported that a U.S. Air Force laboratory study concluded the weapons could be dangerous, and in November, after police in Florida used the device on children.
Taser (TASR: news, chart, profile) had claimed tests showed the weapon was safe to use on children.
The company's primary weapon was designed to "shoot" a bolt of temporarily disabling electricity into a person and allow law enforcement officials and soldiers to subdue someone.
Taser also was drawn into the headlines during the short-lived nomination of former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik to be President Bush's new Secretary of Homeland Security. Kerik withdrew as a nominee after disclosing he had briefly hired an illegal immigrant as a housekeeper and nanny. Kerik also served on Taser's board and made a profit of some $4.4 million selling shares in November, according to media reports. Taser did business with the Homeland Security department.
"We are confident our statements are supported by the safety studies of our products," Rick Smith, Taser's CEO, said in the company statement announcing the inquiry. "Our public statements about the safety of Taser devices are consistent with those of medical experts we have consulted, or in the case of the Department of Defense, were reviewed and approved prior to release by the very agencies that have commissioned the research."
wonder why we didn't hit .25 yet with this volume
DFTS at HOD .16 +11%, looks like the last of the .12-.14 "buy zone" shares are gone. I think we'll stabilize here and rise in advance of the road show.
You can see the money flowing from NMKT to DFTS here:
Going out of NMKT here:
http://stockcharts.com/gallery?nmkt
Going into DFTS here:
http://stockcharts.com/gallery?dfts
Since Dec 3, massive money flowing into DFTS... all the insiders loading up just like at TASR a year ago. The market makers can jack around with the price all they want, but with that big money flow continuing and accelerating...
there is enough to take DFTS over .50 on shortcovering alone.
Quite a paradox really, insiders selling NMKT and buying DFTS shares so NMKT's value and share price will go up, but thats the way it works in the end.
5 trading days til the road show. All tax loss sellers out.
Once the institutions are on board in 2 weeks, it will be time to GO, IMO. But with the money flowing into DFTS so fast, and the float so tight(only 33 million tickets to this lottery!), it could GO at any time... since Dec 3, no longer a question of if, but when...
The 3-day big run is coming fast, like I've been saying... 3 days is all it will take. And then all the easy money will have been made, and DFTS will become a trading stock just like TASR.
hopefully it'll bring the price up more than 25 cents
More insiders dumping NMKT. Money flowing over into DFTS again, just like in early December.
NMKT down 4% on heavy volume, DFTS up 25% on heavy volume.
Every $1,000 Invested in Taser International's Stock Returned $70,000 in 52 Weeks
Welcome aboard the next TASR. Could be this week, could be next... but watch as all the naysayers, paid bashers, and daytraders are all proven wrong about DFTS. And only the few and the wise will truly Hold For The Gold...
For those that look deeply into the dynamics of the situation, and ALL the aspects, there can be be only one conclusion: DFTS is a major stock market play for January 2005.
Now, DFTS is a big secret, which is great, and already started a little run with the Kerik hype in December(which is even better), but now DFTS is poised to make a MAJOR POP in January, IMO, and most of the money will be made in just a few days. All the ducks are in a row.
This is a nice read, and I anticipate Defense Technology
Systems will have a similar fate:
And the moral of the story below is:
"when a company becomes a household name its stock has already made the big move"
Every $1,000 Invested in Taser International's Stock Returned $70,000 in 52 Weeks
Taser International, the leading stun gun maker in the nation is today making headlines with its popular Taser brand of stun guns. The news revolving around Taser has been controversial as well. Recently, the scandals involving Bernard Kerik, the failed nominee for President Bush's Homeland Security, and his membership on the Board of Taser International has also added to the news about Taser International. According to published reports, Kerik made in excess of $5 million on his Taser investments and stock options.
(PRWEB) December 29, 2004 -- Long time stock market participant and author, Brad Koteshwar, says in his new book that when a company becomes a household name its stock has already made the big move. "The Perfect Stock" is a newly released book about the stock market and its workings and written in plain language without any jargon. Its author explains how Wall Street works for the insiders and the outsiders. Using Taser International as an example, the author shows that by the time a stock becomes well-known to the general public, the best and the fastest part of its price move is over.
With the book now consistently receiving good feedback by the major online book retailers like Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books-a-million, etc., Brad Koteshwar says that most books on the subject of investing are dull and boring. He uses a unique angle and using fictional characters he weaves a novel-like book about the stock market. In the process of entertaining the reader, the lessons of the stock market are not lost even to a novice's eyes.
Now that Taser has become well-known, Brad Koteshwar contends that a move such as its fast run between April 2003 and April 2004, where Taser's stock moved 7000%, is long gone. Such moves are no longer in Taser's future, according to Brad Koteshwar.
The author writes an online investment and stock market column on http://www.breakout123.com. His book is now available through Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, Target.com, BooksaMillion.com and other online bookstores. Excerpts of the first three chapters are available at http://www.ThePerfectStock.Net.
I'm a new poster on this board, and glad to see this board started. We'll see what next year brings. Nice move today so far, Approx 33% as I write. Good luck to all.
DFTS news. Road show Jan 11 in Philli & Jan. 12 in NYC.
DFTS to $1 by end of January.
Homeland Security Conference in NYC will be huge. Once those institutions are on board, it will be time to fly.

Once
I'm not worried about dilution... its all restricted shares.
DFTS going thru the roof very soon, I would say probably right after the first of the year so all the tax loss sellers are out. Won't be months, its either days or weeks, IMO.
I've got a triple-bag full of this one. The mm's having been playing with it for over 15 days now.
DFTS is not a $4m cap stock, more like $40m compared to the rest.
From the beginning, this is a Hold For The Gold stock. If you look at it this way, their #1 guy Kerik and his connections was with TASR from $3 to $90. Now they got #2 guy Verges who just ran up NMKT from .25 to .75. Verges knows he can't move his NMKT stock any higher with the big float, so he tied his NMKT stock to DFTS' super tight float... so when DFTS goes, NMKT goes too. Pretty smart.
All the people in this stock are connected, and are in it to run up the stock price, and they know how to do it. Mgmt got DFTS from .50 to $4 on the same float 3 years ago(in 3 days), switched over from Telecom to Homeland Security, cleaned up the balance sheet, signed some deals, and now are going to do it all over again. Nobody is cashing in until at least a buck... why would they bother going thru all the trouble?
I'm looking for the 3-day rally, sometime over the next few weeks, just like in 2000:
http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/historical/default.asp?detect=1&symbol=dfts&close_date=02%2...
The first 3-day rally this month was the hype rally, the next one will be the big one. 3 days, but you have to be in with a big load for max effect. And I'm here with a triple load. Target is $1 to $2 on the pop, IMO. eom.
What do you think dilution will look like soon?
When is this going to start moving....at least just a BIT ?!
DFT$ .135= $multi-million$ $contract$= $anta Clau$ Rally.
$4 million market cap trading at $hell value. Worth $40-$60 million($1 a $hare).
$1 ea$y
.50 ea$ier
.25 ea$iest
DFTS is like a box of chocolates... HTFG.
Rarely can you hold for the gold on a penny stock,
but DFTS is different.
Things important to know about DFTS:
1. The management is connected.
2. They know how to close deals.
3. They have the inside track to contracts.
4. DFTS is restricted from revealing the info about their revenue contracts, so all you see in the stock price is some high volume bumps on no news from insider buying, and higher bumps on "revealable" news from outsider buying.
Due to this hidden news factor at DFTS, this is the perfect scenario for the penny-stock investor to accumulate at the .12-.14 base because once all the information is finally allowed to be revealed in a 10Q or other news release, the stock will make a major run to over $1 and maybe much higher that can be sold into. Also, smaller runs to .25 can be sold into, but you can't tell which one will be the major run.
DFTS is a pure play too, because there aren't any paid promos on it. Don't have to worry about constant selling every time an email or newletter comes out.
And the last thing, but probably the most important, is the 33m float restricted by the 40m share cap on outstanding shares.
And over 20m have traded on this float in December alone.
This float situation will allow DFTS stockholders to capitalize once all the hidden news is finally released, since they are not being diluted into oblivion.
HTFG. eom.
More OJ Kerik hype on the way,,, Bruno Maglia Shoes
Who will be the first to break the story...
NY Times? WSJ? CNN? White Ford Bronco on ebay?
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/041215/155460_1.html
All eyeballs on DFTS name in print for the first time.
Oh yeah, right after Kerik wife #4 uncovered...
and guess what, she's a secretary at DFTS, where they
met at lunch at DFTS offices,,, in the back closet.
(yeah, I made the last part up)eom.
Kerik? who cares... thats was just the hype to frontload the stock, now we get to the real action the next few days.
Anyyways, I would have had to sell before the Confirmation Hearings, because DFTS would lose all the upcoming, oops I mean potential government contracts due to conflict of interest problems.
eom.
