Tony and his son Jon Converted their Preferred Shares.
I figured they would be the first to do. Gregg Sullivan is blocked till next year... so the real dude as I said before to watch is Juan Yunis... who by all intentions is one of Toni and Jon's Cronies. He is sitting on over 60% of the ARCI Stock once he Converts.
I got Out 5.15 From 4.71 Entry, Grabbed the Loot and ran to the Hills, Hit & Run strategy LOL $$$
For now, I do have a positive view of Geotraq GM... he has an uphill battle. One very positive leadership component and prior past. Piere Parent is a former Enlisted US Marine. As a fellow Marine I support him
Not a Single Word on use of the Patent in the latest PR. No mention of any interest in Licensing. Yet they did mention PoLTE which is a far greater reputable company with upwards of 75+ Patents in Location-Based Services. With Verizon now selling the Sequans Hardware and PoLTE Software at $6.50 per device you do have to ask were is ARCI via Geotraq going to make any money??
Geotraq at this point is a Reseller of Sequans and PoLTE with a Custom Form Factor that for now wont be ready for months. 1st Quarter will indicate a further average Loss of $1.2-$1.6 Million. Meanwhile Verizon will be selling the hell out of Sequan's product with the Location Services from PoLTE.
This Timed Geotraq PR was meant to Pump and Dump. I have now witnessed 6 such events.
How is the ARCI Price working out for you? As someone that has watched this stock for 2 years... this now is sliding back to its natural book value that is adjusted for the reverse split. I predict it will fall to under $3. And will fall to $2.50 when they post 1QTR 10-K.
5.12 AHs above Opening Price, Lets Go Higher Baybeeee!! BOOM $$$$$ Weeeeeeeee

$ARCI Timmmmber... Fiscal Year Ends Dec 28, 2018

Operating Margin (ttm) -16.57%
Management Effectiveness

Return on Equity (ttm) -23.44%
People seemed to have gotten suckered in the Geotraq PR. A few things to note is they mentioned doing Device Certification this summer. So this means no sales have occurred for Q1 and probably no sales for Q2.
Meanwhile, the core hardware they are using from Sequans is now available from Verizon at around $6.50 per device. Ask yourself if you are a company needing this technology solution, which company would you choose - Geotraq or one of the more established players? Geotraq at this point isn't bringing anything new to the table.
Geotraq is going to have to score some serious business wins. With this kind of pricing from Verizon. It tells me margins are now super thin.

Wow, wonder what the bottom is here or is there no bottom?? Lol
Look at that Spike. Someone knew of the Geotraq PR. What a Pump & Dump happening. 20 Million shares volume already
Can't imagine this fully retracing to 4.71, looks like it might try though, worth watching for a bounce
Exited before it lost 9...like it for a bounce, lower, not interested until 6.6, love it at 5.72...
Nice post RS, premarket, low float runner...don't really know what the news means, don't really care, already 50% out, will likely exit into 10, or, by 11:30 CST, might hold on to a couple just in case, but unlikely......
Bummer. Regret flipping this for peanuts from that move over 5 yesterday
And now post R/S news. Screaming PM.

Great. I was hoping for legit (positive) reason.
A few pumpers on social media.
Why the run up? Not that I am complaining. Pre-split the SH would be over $1. Any thoughts? I am a long time Geotraq holder. I bought some ARCI just in case the global positioning ever took off. I haven't paid much attention to it for quite a while. Not even sure if it is part of their business plan.
You are right, I skipped this info
THX
The Ratio for the Preffered is changing from 1:100 to 1:20
Preferred convertible shares not affected by R/S
They are the ones that will be coming down flooding the market.
as you probably know by now
1:5 RS Monday (4/22) -- as you likely know by now.
Float should be 1.7M afterwards. I made my entry yesterday and would normally think that was crap timing, but I think this will soar at some point over the next couple of weeks. We'll see, but I'm confident enough that I wouldn't sell my pre-split shares for less than .75
Goal here is to let moneypit Geotraq die
read ARCI 10K update on recycling sale multiple offers $30 to $35 Million & working on them now. Also debt free paid off from prior asset sales & got 1.2 million from the $3.8 million owed to ARCI from LIVE. So to recap 4.5 million dollar market cap Co. with $1.2 million in cash owed another $3.8 & NO debt with near term asset sale between $30 & $35 million leaving GeoTraq as only surviving Co. entering Billion dollar IOT market... Seems worth more then .55 cents will go parabolic on recycling biz sale as very few paying attention to ARCI.
10K Filed " Letters of interest or intent have been provided to the Company with potential purchase prices ranging from $30 to $35 million. The Company is engaged in discussions with these outside potential buyers
Ok so what caused the high volume late last week? Wonder if Toni passed out Bonus Checks... Was there an event or news that was missed to cause the minor Stock Run? A few other Stock Boards I checked it looks like there are some Professional Pumpers Hyping ARCI, but nothing to indicate why? Any news of the Recycle Business Sale?
They should have received NASDAQ warning by now
A very long period under a buck
Shouldnt the Annual 10K be coming out soon?
I hadnt seen any news of ARCI selling the Recycling Business. One item I have been interested in is the status of that Sales Tax Lawsuit the State of California has against ARCI. That alone has to scare the crap out of any potential buyer knowing there is this $4+ Million Tax Liability and that is just for the years CA Audited. As well, they more than likely are going to have to write off that bogus patent. How long can they keep this on the books at acquisition costs?
As far as Geotraq, firing Gregg is lifted my confidende level. However the Telecom Industry is moving rapidly in some directions and I feel, they are a Day Late and a Dollar Short to the IOT Party. Even Sequans recently announced they have a new generation of the Monarch chips that Geotraq is using on this NB400 Module. There still are no FCC filings for Certifications and they had indicated April was availability. The IOT market is over saturated, so they are going to have to be a low cost bottom feeder. I wish Pierre a lot of luck, but he has a huge hill to climb and he isnt going to get this thing done with just a chick that made youtube videos and is good for being eye candy at Vegas Meetups and Trade Shows.
As far as performance, I would suspect they will continue to micromanage the quarterly numbers to keep this barely above water. With no sales from geotraq, 1st quarter too will indicate a further downward trend in all there numbers, which still to me indicates Tony and his Cronies are looting this company.
Now here is the cool investigative thing.

Inventors: Sullivan; Gregg (Seattle, WA)
Applicant:
Name City State Country Type
GeoTraq Inc.

US
Assignee: GeoTraq Inc. (Seattle, WA)
Family ID: 64953952
Appl. No.: 14/724,039
Filed: May 28, 2015
**********************************************************
Note the Address on the Patent. This concerns former GTRQ Shareholders.
There were two entities one in Seattle and one in Nevada. Chain of Custody like selling property is important. By all reasonable conclusions, this "Asset" belonged to the entity in Seattle and not to the Entity Gregg sold to ARCI which was a Reverse Merger of Mobile Data Corp... which is the Entity this ended up in the hands of ARCI.
By my assessment, Gregg Sullivan committed Securities Fraud.
Objections to "Claim" 1:
*******************************************************
1. An apparatus comprising: an interval timer; a power control; a Short Message Service (SMS) packetizer; a geo-locator; a radio frequency (RF) communicator; and a controller and a memory, the memory comprising instructions for the controller to operate the interval timer cooperatively with the power control to cause a transition of the geo-locator from a sleep state to a wake state after a preset defined time interval, and to operate the geo-locator to receive signal strength levels and corresponding cell ids from a plurality of cellular base stations, and to operate the SMS packetizer to package the signal strength levels and the corresponding cell ids into a first outgoing SMS message, and to communicate the first outgoing SMS message to a preset address using the RF communicator.
****************************************************
In the Telecom Industry we have what is called an SMS Center (SMSC). These are the Network Elements that handles all Text Messages. Your Mobile Phone is programmed with this "preset address" already. Your Text Messages end up on the First hop in what we call "Mobile Originated" SMS for your respective Service Provider (ie AT&T). These Network Elements then forward your "Text" thru a special network and then end up in the "Mobile Terminate" SMSC that serves the Cell Areas your phone is operating within. We also "Terminate" the Messages to special Application Servers such as those for things like American Idol "Text Voting" via Short Codes (numbers less than the 10 or 7 digits that represent phone numbers). Methods already exist to move SMS from a device to either another device or to a custom server such as what I stated above in American Idol in Text Message Voting.
Claim 1 should have been denied for the rule of not being Unique to the those that "Practice the Art". The Pre-set Address is a KNOWN Property in the same way like the "Legs of a Table".
And this is just for starters....
The "Claims" of the Geotraq Patent - 10,182,402.
People take a good look at this... this is copied word for word from the Patent. The "Claims" Section is always what is going to be argued in a court of law.
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=Geotraq.ASNM.&OS=AN/Geotraq&RS=AN/Geotraq
I kind of wonder now on the state of the examiners in the Patent Office as to how this was granted. The history indicates it being rejected multiple times and this language is so watered down just to get it to pass. This is no way in hell Unique, nor is it something the telecom industry is going to embrace.
**********************************************
What is claimed is:
1. An apparatus comprising: an interval timer; a power control; a Short Message Service (SMS) packetizer; a geo-locator; a radio frequency (RF) communicator; and a controller and a memory, the memory comprising instructions for the controller to operate the interval timer cooperatively with the power control to cause a transition of the geo-locator from a sleep state to a wake state after a preset defined time interval, and to operate the geo-locator to receive signal strength levels and corresponding cell ids from a plurality of cellular base stations, and to operate the SMS packetizer to package the signal strength levels and the corresponding cell ids into a first outgoing SMS message, and to communicate the first outgoing SMS message to a preset address using the RF communicator.
2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a subscriber identity module (SIM); and the memory further comprising instructions to block visibility to the SIM by the geo-locator for a limited duration after the transition of the geo-locator from the sleep state to the wake state after the defined time interval.
3. The apparatus of claim 2, further comprising: the memory further comprising instructions to override a preset floor on the signal strength levels during the limited duration after the transition of the geo-locator from the sleep state to the wake state after the defined time interval.
4. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: the memory further comprising instructions to operate the SMS packetizer to package the signal strength levels with the corresponding cell ids.
5. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: the memory further comprising instructions to receive a command SMS message via the RF communicator; a parser to extract a time interval command from the received command SMS message; and the memory further comprising instructions to apply the time interval command to the interval timer to set the defined time interval.
6. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: the memory further comprising instructions to receive a response SMS message via the RF communicator, the response SMS message being a response to the first outgoing SMS message; a parser to extract geo-locations for cell ids from the response SMS message; and the memory further comprising instructions to associate the geo-locations for each of the cell ids from the response message with corresponding cell ids in the memory.
7. A method comprising: applying an interval timer to a power control to control power for a subscriber identify module (SIM), a Short Message Service (SMS) packetizer, a geo-locator, and a radio frequency (RF) communicator after a preset defined time interval; operating the interval timer cooperatively with the power control to cause a transition of the geo-locator from a sleep state to a wake state after the defined time interval; operating the geo-locator to receive signal strength levels and corresponding cell ids from a plurality of cellular base stations; operating the SMS packetizer to package the signal strength levels and the corresponding cell ids into an outgoing SMS message; and communicating the outgoing SMS message to a preset address using the RF communicator.
8. The method of claim 7, further comprising: blocking visibility to the SIM by the geo-locator for a limited duration after the transition.
9. The method of claim 8, further comprising: overriding a preset floor on the signal strength levels during the limited duration after the transition.
10. The method of claim 7, further comprising: receiving a command SMS message via the RF communicator; extracting a time interval command from the command SMS message; and applying the time interval command to the interval timer to set the defined time interval.
11. The method of claim 7, further comprising: receiving a response SMS message via the RF communicator in response to the outgoing SMS message; extracting geo-locations for cell ids from the response SMS message; and associating the geo-locations for each of the cell ids from the response SMS message with corresponding cell ids in a memory.
This is Pierre's show now. He has a lot of hurdles to overcome, I most certainly respect him far more than Gregg. One area from his resume, I fully respect is he was an Enlisted US Marine back in the early 80s at Camp Pendleton. So in a bizzare, fate I may have crossed paths with him and didnt realize it as I served during the same timeframe. Once a Marine, Always a Marine. Untill I see Pierre hire a Director of Engineering and a VP of Marketing this is still a No Show. Seeing the COO gone, I wonder if she quit or I surely hope Pierre fired her. If he fired her, my respect for Pierre went up a few notches. That would have been my first order of business.
If this were my show, what I would be doing is making After Market Kits for Appliances and leveraging ARCIs Business. I will have far more confidence in their Success if I see this happen. I have thought this strategy thru for over a year. They have to play to the advantages they have and this is the area ARCI has that can make this a success. However it is short lived, so they need to move at lightning speed in building this company out with quality people and then execute a well defined Early Adopter Competitive Strategy. And that means getting a solution together for Refrigurators, Dishwashers, and Home Automation. There are competitors here, but ARCI has connections to the mfg and then they could be selling the kits to thru their Appliance Smart Store chain they sold to LIVE... which still essentually is ARCIs business. Just not on paper.
I still have major concerns on ARCIs long term business objectives. If they sell the recycling, then only a few options exist and I dont see them putting the required capital to build out Geotraq. Nothing indicates this is their future. Both ARCI and LIVE are bleeding money. And the Stock price is reflecting this assessment.
They are both talented in their own ways but sadly GeoTraq has Zero marketing AND sales bench strength. This needs more than just PR and R&D. Hope they move quickly.
Ah they got rid of the COO too. I figured that was going to happen. Guess Pierre will keep the blonde video chick for Eye Candy.
Great reliable assessment Prince
We can all benefit of your professional expertise and of your deep knowledge of how the telecom industy works
It shows that you are mot here to pump the title and to sell shares
And actually, the IOT redirection was presented to Greggy along with Sequans just to show hin how late in the game he was with his modules
Patent application was files in 2015 and granted only in 2019, which unusually long, and shows that the patent had to be extremely diluted along the way.
Now it seems Geotraq abandoned the idea of promoting its own modules
It’s become a 2 guys Radio Shack IMO
Great DD Prince, you’ve got the credentials, the other guy mo
They better start hiring for SALES... They are down to 2 people there now. Just look at leadership on GeoTraq.com. Their only path is to make sales or they're finished.
ROFLMAO at the patience line of CRAP.
Promoting the scumbag as everything except the lying conartist he is where the dishonesty took place.
Nope just the way i see what that absolutely wortless low life piece of shit gregg sullivan pulled on the public.
Lmao
