[m2jny]

hold this going to .50 imo

[m2jny]

well r/s 10 for1 isn't bad This new class of Common Stock could have an anti-takeover
effect. If the Company's Board of Directors desires to issue
additional shares in the future, such issuance could dilute the
voting power of a person seeking control of the Company, thereby
deterring or rendering more difficult a merger, tender offer, proxy
contest or an extraordinary corporate transaction opposed by the
Company.

[m2jny]

stock is a hold now till buyback starts looks good. I was told watch for pps around .0015/.0020 at time for buyback,more to come from affiliate program watch this one.

RNKE

[howzilla]

Does any one have new insight or information about RNKE? I have 285K shares and am thinking about getting myself at the 500K mark but this dip we are in is making me think twice :~/

[ddonkey]

I have been waiting for this myself. Seems to have been slipped under the rug. A dividend is a smart thing to do. In fact, the company should look at doing a quarterly dividend. You know, the company could give a very low dividend and it will still show faith. The most important thing is to develop a dividend on a reaccurring basis.

RNKE -Roanoke Technology Corp. to Withhold 50 Million Shares to Reduce Float for Shareholder Benefit

Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

ROANOKE RAPIDS, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 2, 2004--Roanoke
Technology Corp. (OTCBB:RNKE) announced that the issuance of a block
of 50,000,000 shares of stock, within the active "float" of the
company, has been suspended indefinitely to reduce the amount of
shares in the float; this should make shorting Roanoke Tech stock more
difficult.

This should also benefit loyal shareholders as it is expected to
reduce the "shorting" of shares that, as previously reported, has been
fairly prevalent.

RNKE CEO Mr. David Smith commented "We would like our loyal
shareholders to know that these 50,000,000 and that the company will
continue to be vigilant and take appropriate action to protect
shareholder interest as and when necessary."

JDP,

I don't follow RNKE much anymore, but the recent news tends to indicate some positive moves toward long term success.

John

[JusDePomme]

JIM: what you think RNKE s-8 filing late today will affect the price on Friday? Thank

[DWD]

I agree with you. I am not sure what your entry point was but even if it was above .009, things are not too gloomy. Decreasing the number of outstanding shares should be a positive for shareholders. I am staying optimistic.

There is no shortage of press releases here which is causing the fluctuation in the price that the company seems to be attributing to short selling. Especially since the price rose on the the initial press release that the company wanted shareholders to call in their shares and then the following day with the re-release of the same news, the price fell.

The report for the 4th quarter will be released any day now. According to the OTCBB site, maybe even today. We will see how the stock price reacts to what could be very positive results as the company approaches profitability.

DWD

[killer 8 Ball]

I've been annoyed so far with my entry point but I think if I hold on for a while it will move!!

I noticed so far that even though the number of shares outstanding is so high that even with the slightest increasein buy pressure the price climbs fast.

If that holds true and they do buy back some shares in the open market then the price of this stock could go up ten fold easy!!!

I'm holding to find out!!!!

[JNelson]

Now they are taking it down big time,,,, must have had a big sale order come in,,,,, we will see.... 4 x 1 .0062 x .0063

[JNelson]

Bid is up again .0069 x .007 1 x 2

[JNelson]

I don't know where it going to stop but it going higher this morning..... 1 x 2 .0063 x .007 right now.....

[killer 8 Ball]

No one is around I guess they are too busy buying this thing!!! to be reading and talking about it!! LOL

I'm just wondering where it will stop!

America: The Good Neighbor

Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently to a remarkable
editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television
commentator. What follows is the full text of his trenchant remarks as
printed in the Congressional Record:

"This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most
generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth.
Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were lifted out of
the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and
forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying even
the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.

When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who
propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of
Paris. I was there. I saw it. When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the
United States that hurries in to help. This spring, 59 American communities were
flattened by tornadoes. Nobody helped. The Marshall Plan and the Truman
Policy pumped billions of dollars into discouraged countries. Now newspapers
in those countries are writing about the decadent, warmongering Americans.

I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion
of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any other country in
the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star,
or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the
International lines except Russia fly American planes?

Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on the moon?
You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy,
and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy, and you find
men on the moon - not once, but several times - and safely home again.

You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the store window
for everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and
hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless they are
breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa at home
to spend here. When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking
down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the
Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them
an old caboose. Both are still broke.

I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble.
Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble?
I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.
Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired of
hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their
flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the
lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one
of those."

Stand proud, America!

Post # of 366


Think I found the problem, let me try to post the whole thing. Some foreign symbols were popping up on my cut/paste. Lets see if this works:

From my email:

1) Are there going to be more S-8 filings in the near future?

Answer: I have no plans for s-8 filings. I do however, have plans to reward key employees with stock that is restricted for 2 or more years.

2) As of June 19, 2001, the Company had 9,798,112 shares of Common Stock outstanding. What is the current O/S and estimated float?

Answer: I’m away from the office so can only estimate the #’s. 15.9 is the approximate issued with about 5.2 in the “public” float. The rest are controlled by me personally or someone close to the company.

3) What is the current cash on hand situation? Does the company require additional funding in the near future to continue operation?

Answer: Cash is, always has been, and probably will be for the next few months, tight . Since our inception we have only raised a little more than 200k . Everything we’ve done has been out of revenues.

4) Q1: NET INCOME (LOSS) was $(166,198) Q2: NET INCOME (LOSS) was $(898,479) including a con-cash stock compensation of $850,811 I assume the stock compensation is a onetime expense and if so, can shareholders expect positive cash flow in Q3 & Q4?

Answer: I must qualfy the following statement by saying it is wrong. Any #’s or predictions about #;s will always be wrong. When #’s hit the wall, they will be either higher or lower than the predictions. That said…here goes. A year ago our company was producing almost 2million in revenues, was housed in a 3000 square foot office, had 9 employees, and had 1 product (top-10). The choices were simple, grow or become stagnant. I chose to grow. We’ve spent almost every cent on more space, more people, more equipment, and more products. Although revenues have not grown (new products have just completed development and have not had time to make an impact) we are now in a 16,800 square foot space, have35 employees, and a war chest full of products. The most impressive product to date is RTCWebsite. The back end of the product allows us to address any vertical market we choose. I’d like to demo this for a few of you sometime next week. In short, the last year has been one of growth and preparing for the future. I do not anticipate positive cash flow until Q2 2002.

5) Does the company plan any further significant expenditure (cash flow affective) within the next 12 month? (Equipment, R&D, compensation, etc.)

Answer: Most of that is out of the way. The vast majority of our R&D, equipment purchase and infrastructure development has already been done. All we have to do now is execute.

6) The company operates 3-core business. What is the individual revenue stream percentage of each business itself? Top 10 = xx% of total revenue etc.

Answer: top-10 produces 99.9% of our revenue. Our other products are brand new and just off the drawing board.

7) How many employees total and how many in salesman?

Answer: 35total, 17 sales people, 5 programmers, 2 graphics people, 5 support people, 4 people for the RTCWebsite project and 1 brand new VP of Business Development. His name is Jack Webb. He brings lots of experience and very many relationships. I’m sure we’ll talk next week sometime….make sure Jack is in the conversation somewhere.

8) On April 12, 2001 the president of the Company received 5,200,000 shares. Are these restricted or unrestricted?

Answer: All are restricted.

9) Since June the traded volume has increased significantly. Any comments why?

Answer: Several reasons, a small part is because of increased awareness from the radio interviews and news paper articles. I believe the largest part is the realization of how powerful our new products are and the potential to make a national impact in several spaces.

10) On 08/08/01 the company hired two business consultants (S-8). Long term, is the company seeking to be acquired, or are your plans to remain a self operating entity?

Answer: I’m here for the duration. I started the business in a spare bedroom. The business was started here in the town my kids grew up in. Roanoke Rapids, NC is a very small place (16,000 population) and I feel a responsibility to the community. Also, an 11.6% unemployment rate and office space for approximately 23 cents a square foot per month makes it a nice place to run a business.I anticipate being here til retirement.

11) On 07/06/01 the company singed a contract with a promotion company (CG). Did the CEO give any of the 30 interviews already and when can we expect to see the further interviews / streaming media websites? What is the time-frame for the media campaign?

Answer: All interviews are complete. I do not anticipate doing anymore. I believe they are available at http://windowstowallstreet.com/index.php If they are not still on the website I’m sure Ms. Givens will make them available by request.

Well, that is all so far. I will submit any further questions you may have, or my astute friend Buzz may do the same. I feel a CEO with such a candid response to questions is rare in the OTC market, and many of you 'veterans' here know what I mean.

Best,

olico
