Did you forget that it went up? oops, that was month before last...it only went down 100k shares on the last report...still 10 days to cover..remember when it was only 3 days to cover? Look, there is a website that I am still looking for, that I referred to last year when I held ALKS....it was a site that someone on the msg board gave us a link to---because toots were holding about 95% of the shares, at the time.....we found that one of the tutes had loaned out the same share to 9 different short opportunities...AT THE SAME TIME..I do not think my interpretation of my observation is a leap of faith. When I find that site--I will make sure you get to see it....it was a bonified, as opposed to niched, web site....
with nearly 7% of theirs shares 'out'..means to me, loaned out for shorts.....not sold...they are using them to short this stock as it goes down.
That is a leap and I have my doubts about that. 'That turnover rate' is ambiguous, cnbc does not even indicate what that term is suppose to mean.
The fact that the short ratio is as low as its been since I have been here is a good sign, in my opinion it represents a near bottom.
Just a reminder that so we can be a little optimistic here...
This from the 8k in February....
On February 6, 2007, the Company announced that it has signed an exclusive supply agreement with GE Energy to co-develop an innovative custom product that enables vital remote monitoring and management of utility substation equipment. Over the next six months, GE will commence the first installation phase involving customers in North America to further develop and refine the product, customizing it to be compatible with all the various types of substation equipment.
July ends that six month time frame, hopefully that went well and the second phase beings soon.
Its a good point, not sure what his lock up period was but insider selling is always something to watch. Ron believes in the story so Ron Ron is not selling.
Something to think about... I know RP has about 2.5 million shares, so don't you think it might hurt him a little to have the stock continue to drop. I have another company that I kept my shares as others sold off because this person had 30 million shares and had/has not sold one share. It said something to me, and to date the stock has dipped once and now has been pretty steady for the last couple of months. I wonder if this is something similar, I mean we all complain about losing money, but RP loses 250K each dime the stock falls...ouch!! Could he really know something we don't? Just musing, have a good night!
And I know, don't feel sorry for him, but think about it just the same.
I threw out that number 400k because of the heavy volume today...I have no idea how big the sell(s) were, I am simply trying to shed some light on todays action.
Point being, TKO is thinly traded stock with a small float, that owned primarily amongst very few share holders. When someone tries to dump a large block (a la today), it does big damage, there is not enough liquidity to gobble the shares up.
That being said, there were buyers and they did step in and up when the stock trade down 10%-15%. Likely a combination of the Specialist holding it together and someone adding to their position.
I think someone got a discount today but I have been wrong before, I was convinced that 1.50 was the lowest we were going as that seemed a level of buying interest.
Day of reckoning is soon, this quarters number will be about and everyone can see the progress.
I cannot answer that...but I too, was informed that someone started selling last Friday, continued Monday and yesterday....and that is the WHOLE REASON why I was soooooo amazed that at the same time that was happening...the buyers outnumbered the sellers, in shares, for the first time in MONTHS!
look at this link...then ask yourself...if the number of long shares remain the same...as they have been for a long time now...and the right hand column says their turnover rate is HIGH, then what do you think is causing that high turnover rate on their shares? Unless they are shorting their own shares...it is legal...ethical is another story....
http://www.cnbc.com/id/15837275?q=tko
If its true that someone dumped 400k what kept the pps from going to 1.00. There had to be someone that likes it.
Dusty, just use the "Hide Ibox" and you won't have to look at Eddie Munster's cousin anymore.
Whats makes you think Enable is shorting the stock?
There is no way you can know that so I am wondering where you got that info from...
Holy Katzenjammers!!
What a exciting day in Telkonet Land.. Can't help but think of some decades ago to the Traveling Road Shows, promoting the sales of the famous 'Snake Oil' with claims of 'Powerful Cure-alls' for the gullible bystanders.. Well, we live for another day..
Previous funny comment about 'Eddie Munster'.. RP has a likeness more to the 'Dragon under the Stairs'!!
Can't forget our 'Telkonet Slayer'.. It appears he blew a hole in his Muffler with all the noise today and needs replacement.. Such a 'Tower of Babel'!!!
I don't know whether a lawsuit is in the making here, or even if there is a possibility, or if it is even something that should be discussed at this time in the process ......but sometime in the past year, I did stumble onto Digital Angel...a company that RP had before.....and a lot of the same stuff is happening here, that happened there...so there IS a pattern. I was also surprised to see that many of the people associated with RP in that company, are the same people in this one...Sadle comes to mind immediately...and I THINK Musser had a finger in there as well...I will have to verify that, however, or you will...don't take my word on that...so it is beginning to look like the same guys 'traveling' together.
That would explain why the BOD has failed to protect the shareholders.....I have NEVER held back on my opinions--I say it as I see it...at the time that I see it...and have taken the crap from those that do not agree....but unlike others, I try to reason it out first, using my brain, instead of my temper...so I would diagree that my post was a RANT, as I was observing more than anything else.
RE: GE....I am a tad bit nervy abut the end result of that alliance with TKO, as Gip pointed out a looooonnnnngggggg time ago, how GE manages to get other company's technology for practically nothing....by doing the very same thing it is doing with TKO....while the company they got it from, dies, and the only ones who benefit from the arrangement are the officers of the company--and the shareholders end up with nothing. APWR? (Of course, I have GE stock, so I get good dividends from them!)
How about contracts with all the various agencies and public/private companies?
People can say anything they want about the stock's performance, those contracts are still there. Whether they sell $25 worth or $25 million worth is anybody's guess, but they still have them.
RBT you are very correct on that...
nice call on Eddie Munster haha
I think we do hold. The general market wont give you direction. Until Q reports are published, the fate of the stock rests with the those that hold the bigger positions.
I think today we saw what happens when someone decides to puke 400k shares on the open market in an illiquid stock with a small float.
In my opinion the only thing to do at this point is forget the support/resistance, if you still here at this point, wait for the quarterly report and decide if you like where they are going. If not, dump. As far as a stop loss goes, tough call...sell till you can get to sleep I guess.
Say what you want about the Specialist, he picked up a lot of shares today, as did several others. This could of been even more of a disaster.
Despite what the charts say I have wondered for some time just what exactly is keeping this from going to $0.00?? I don't see anything holding it up...
Sirius Nice RANT that must have been building for some time. I remember about a year ago I had some of the same thoughts. Telkonet doomed themselves by small thinking. Looking back had RP chosen to sorround himself with experienced staff who knew how to roll out a product with such huge potential we would have seen results in year 2. I would have done an IPO to raise the type of Capital needed to establish TKO to start with. I still think there is huge hope for the technology, but others have caught up with reverse engineered products of their own. As I have said before I believe that GE already has aquired or stolen Telkonet. The only thing that confounds me is why in bloody hell would manmgment let RP run this into the ground and loose all of the share value before they could get out and where the hell was the Board of Directors??? Can you say shareholder suit if there are any left...
I still think Ron's picture should be removed from this site. I am sick of looking at him ! He is a part time CEO anyway! He looks like a grown up Eddie Munster from the old t.v series. Remove the photo we will go up!
Support 1 @ $1.30 Support 2 $ .86 Any opinions, do we hold $1.30? TIA
Did you read to the end of that post, sonny? I addressed the TKO situation as well. ;-D
Sirius dont even give me that lame excuse 'people are pulling their money off to put it in the more conservative stocks'..Thats a boring excuse :) TKO is a POS period..
Just look at DPDW when I told you guys to scoop at the .20s...where are they at now?? it hit their all time high today at .92 thats more than 400% within 6 months..
Too bad I sold all my shares last month..made almost $10k so I can't complain..I then put the proceeds on to MCCY and pretty happy with the result so far...I'll be back with DPDW as soon as I make a million on MCCY by end of this year..mark this post Sirius...please mark it..
The Trump pojects were not a TKO acquired project--they were an MST acquired project---Frnak Matarazzo, of MST had been working with Trump for many years before TKO acquired MST--in fact, Frank worked with Trumps' father, starting years ago, which is how he is now working with Trump. I listened to the MST presentation last month, to learn this, came out right after MST got themselves listed separately.
As I understand it, the MST project in Central Park is still on the plate.
RE: the Wimax or wifi......at one time, TKO announced it was something with Earthlink. We learned form the last CC, it was a 'trial experiment', in NYC, and htere was no further discussion. ELNK was spending big bucks to lay fiber in NYC...and I thought waaayyyy tooo much money at the time. AND, in retrospect, it was probably more an MST thing thatn it was a TKO thing. I do not know about Sprint...but I do know that GPS is getting to be a big deal right now, and that all new cell phones are being equipped with GPS chips that will use not only the WIFI towers, but also the satellites that the vaious companies are putting up....before..it was either the satellite, or the tower. With people getting lost, the only way to find them is to combine the 2 resources as a locator tool. And the GPS companies are even spending time with the DOT and getting stuff approved.
I heard on the news this morning that Sprint had installed a new WIMAX or WIFI (I know there is a huge difference I didn't hear which one truthfully), I would guess WIMAX to completely cover New York City. I heard a long time ago that TKO was going to undertake this. Did the trial with Trump not go well? Did the Central Park rollout or coverage not go well? Too many questions unanswered. At the time I questioned weather TKO had the experience to manage a project of this magnitude. Can anyone add to this or confirm it??
hahahahahahaha....now THAT was FUNNY!!!!!!!!
I noticed the pharmaceuticals are doing well today. Must be all the stress related heart attacks the markets are causing this week!
I jsut took a look at how the market is doing today...and it looks like the DOW is foing alright, but the rest of the market is moving down. This morning, there was a WSJ alert re Bear Stearns, again. A third Hedge Fund is in trouble. Yesterday, in my town, a major mortgage company announced that they did not have the funds to pay the morgages they controlled---big, bad, news for this area...the market has been 'correcting', coincidently, not because of....when OSTK won their lawsuit against the hedgies et al, last week, which allows 'discovery' that may show how corrupt and manipulated the funds, the SEC, blah blah, and on top of that, the events in the neighborhood surrounding Iraq, are getting a bit hairy. Pakistan had to go to the UAE to get the help they could not get from the US...China signed an agreement with France for Nuclear energy, while the US was stalling with India---and when China/France signed...all of a sudden, the SAME DAY as that announcement, the US decided to allow India to have weapons grade uranium for nuclear energy...last week....at the same time Argentina offered oil to Iran, circumventing the US sanctions against Iran...AND then there is what I deem 'THE SPIN'...on CNBC for instance when they try to rationalize why it is a good thing to short a stock instead of outright buy it, and the scare tactics that are coming out from this administration which now, today, I learned the Admin has been not only listening to our phone calls overseas without warrants, they have ALSO been reading our emails--all without warrants or any legal means to back it up.
My thinking suggests that people are pulling thier money out of the risky end of the markets, and putting it into the more stable companies, such as those on the Dow...which BTW, Murdoch got yesterday--and we ALL know there will be some changes to look forward to, there as well. Companies such as TKO are high risk...and the past few years, are low reward...and IMHO, I think it is too late for TKO to make its' mark, as we anticipated it would 3 and 4 years ago, but that is just my opinion. Remember when RFID was the big deal? Never hear about it anymore, time came, people invested, no longer on anyones radar. And nanotechnology? their time has passed, market wise as well. BPL and PLC had their time--but now tht time has passed as well....If the company was to make it big, they would have by now. Now GPS is the big deal, and solar, and wind, and nuclear, heck even stemcells has fallen off the radar for now. My point is this---there is so much turbulence in the world, and our home towns, that the stockmarket is declining as people pull their money out of anything that is not a SURE thing....And of late, TKO is not a sure thing anymore. We ALL had hope 4 and 5 years ago--but the little mistakes in judgement by the management, turned out to be a BIG HUGE ERROR for growing this company at the rate that this BPL/PLC market required, in order for them to position themselves as 'solid' enough for investors to be able to deem it 'a sure thing', beyond the 'growth period' that is allowably acceptable for new companies.
O
Forget the cup and handle chart pattern with TKO.
It more resembles a buffalo off a cliff.
Well, I guess the answer is neither higher or lower. If you look at TKO's pattern, you will see something fairly common. The stock consolidates in a ten to twenty cent trading range before heading drastically lower. For example, it settled between $1.90 and $2.10 for some time, but then took a dive down to about $1.60. Then, it settled in between $1.50 and $1.70 for a few weeks, before diving down to $1.30 today. So, I think we can expect to trade between $1.20 and $1.40 or so for the next few weeks until we take another dive. Perhaps below $1 this time.
I haven't left Jeff..I have this on my 401k..I just don't pay attention these days til I saw it was in $1.30ish..
This stock is a reflection of our ceo Ron Pickett..Any company he runs it turns to crap..Don't get me wrong I gave him two years to prove himself but he got nothing to show for..
That is sad BSD..My 401k is now down over 50% over this POS company..Its a good learning experienced for me not to fucking marry a stock..This is what I get..I really deserved this..Its all my fault and I am such a dumb azz..
Like I said it all along Ron Pickett you are worthless..Pack your pens and the rest of your belongings and leave..
Keep diluting it because this what you are good at
If I am not mistaken you have to go back 4 years ago to see this low..
Welcome back Sonny! Ya it's been a tough couple of weeks. I am now applying my Blackjack betting theorem to this Stock. I have been adding more as the price goes down. Assuming a bottom (>$0), and an eventual increase, I will win. If not.. then I lose. I can deal with this. As I said before, I am investing what I can afford to lose, and at these prices, I think it is becoming a better deal for a long term projection.
Time will tell,
Good investing!
266k block at 1.35.

Time for lunch...I'm going to get me some chocolate...I do love that stuff. Where do you think TKO will be in one hour? Are the $1.20s next? I can't even believe I'm saying that.
I'm having trouble typing today, as I hurt my favored hand (left) in a tragic accident waving frantically trying to get somebody to pay attention to me. Instead, all they saw was the red TKO ink splattered all over me.
WTF!! what is going on around here?? I never ever thought this would hit to $1.30...I haven't paying attention to this stock any explanation guys/gals??
Seriously somebody needs to go to jail for this ch!t..I am sick and tired of good people getting rip off over this stock..I really wish I can make a difference..I really do..
Thanks for putting up the link...yes more buyers, but the spread between the 2 numbers is decreasing :-[
Enable has been shorting the he** out of its shares....did ya see that? Always has been doing that since they got in--that is where they are making their money---and Tiger, who usually shows a high turnover rate, calmed down yesterday, apparently, as their is only a moderate washing of shares short....
One of the musicians I worked with had that--thanks for the reminder--it forced me to look back at him, and make the connection in similarity's. There is more too, people tend to go out of their way to stay away from those with NPD, which amplifies their verbal abuse to everybody--not just the 'target of the moment', and their passive agressive behavior leads them to isolate themselves in a passive agressive way (which they do not recognize in themselves), and instead of being on top and having everything, they end up at the bottom, and having nothing. Yup! That musician is now homeless, and no one gives a rip any more, not even enough to help him, as he sees the kindness, and the efforts of others to help him fit into the bigger picture, as 'entrapment'...alien...doesn't recognize it as he himself only uses kindness get attention for himself, at the expense of everyone else....and doesn't want to 'fit with' the bigger picture--cause he wants to BE the ONLY ONE in that picture!
I read somewhere that if one has an addiction to chocolate, they are more likely to suffer from NPD. Don;t know how that fits in here...but there ya have it! hahaha OH! And I read somewhere as well, that those with NPD and those who are left handed, are more likely to suffer from schizophrenia, too!
RBT, no he is not he is a paid basher and you are funding him by answering him. Just put him on ignore like everyone else
Are you for real?
Now I come to find out on the Yahoo board that TKO has fired its international head of sales. I guess that business is now toast as well. What does this thing have left for legitimate business? Nothing that I can tell.
Sirius, we're still getting more buyers than sellers!
http://www.cnbc.com/id/15837275?q=tko
Bid down to $1.30 again. Why is it getting hammered so bad today...something must be around the corner that we don't know. Surely it isn't all the good news about to be unleashed. Or, perhaps it is TKO's commitment to continue diluting our shares in the future. Or the fact they don't have any money. Or the fact that they continue to revise guidance downward. Is Murphy about ready to ditch? Or the fact that they will never ever make $5M this last quarter.
Or, that conspiracy thingy too.
I'm hoping for another drop to $1.30, so I can fill my order! Can't wait for that "New Low" announcement we so faithfully get here at "a Hub."
Good investing to all!
Funny, but apparently true!
you all know how to handle this guy and yet you all keep answering him. ignore, ignore
BTW kindness and attention do not appease the onslaught for more attention.
Walrus, is this guy still there selling? Is this why it is dropping? Do you have any idea what is going on?
Is there anyone taking bets on when this goes below one dollar? Within a month? By the end of the year? Today? hahaha
Just getting hammered today...this might be the ugliest day I have ever seen for TKO...nobody here, myself included, thought this would happen. Be afraid. Be very afraid. I wonder who would be buying now?

Sector: Technology
Industry: Communications Equipment
Telkonet’s patented powerline communications (PLC) systems – the Telkonet iWire System and next generation 200 Mbps Telkonet Series 5 – use a building’s existing internal electrical wiring to enable Internet connectivity throughout an entire building, converting electrical outlets into high-speed data ports. This is an ideal solution for properties that are not wired with CAT-5 or where CAT-5 is cost-prohibitive.
The EthoStream Gateway Server (EGS) product line of gateway devices, which are developed in-house, deliver wired or wireless high-speed Internet access, integrating easily with any combination of WAN connections. The EGS products range from a cost-effective gateway for limited use applications to a feature-rich, dual-WAN, scalable gateway for full-service properties.
Telkonet’s energy management systems, Telkonet SmartEnergy (TSE) and Networked Telkonet SmartEnergy (NTSE), reduce in-room energy consumption by controlling heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) usage based on occupancy. By eliminating unnecessary heating and cooling of vacant rooms, TSE typically reduces energy consumption by 30% or greater.
Telkonet’s proactive support center brings quality of service to a new level with its dedicated, in-house employees, 24/7/365 support, and integrated proactive monitoring and management tools that put property management in control. By integrating the EthoStream Gateway Server and the web-based Telkonet CENTRAL, our in-house support team has real-time visibility into a property’s HSIA usage and data, as well as ISP status.
Telkonet SmartEnergy™ (TSE) controls HVAC usage and improves energy efficiency by adjusting and maintaining a room’s temperature based on occupancy, using a combination of occupancy sensors, intelligent programmable thermostats or packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) controllers. TSE eliminates wasteful heating and cooling of vacant rooms without compromising an occupant’s comfort based on our patented Recovery Time™ technology.
Building on the proven capabilities of the TSE system and incorporating Telkonet's unique Recovery Time™ technology, our new Networked Telkonet SmartEnergy (NTSE) advances intelligent HVAC building control with a flexible, resilient and low-cost energy management platform. NTSE utilizes a ZigBee wireless IEE802.15.4 “mesh” network, where each device functions as a wireless repeater and enables energy management thermostats to communicate with each other and aggregate communications up to a single master NTSE Gateway Server on site. NTSE enables central control without needing expensive back-haul wiring. Its key monitoring and analysis features ensure optimum energy savings, giving property owners the tools to identify and implement energy savings, providing total visibility and detailed data about a property's HVAC system and its energy consumption, together with real-time, instant remote management capabilities.
Key features and benefits of NTSE
Telkonet’s proprietary, patented powerline communications (PLC) products harness a building’s internal electrical wiring to form an IP network, turning power outlets into data ports, while leaving the electrical functionality unaffected. Telkonet’s PLC systems – the Telkonet iWire System and the 200 Mbps Telkonet Series 5 – represent a quick, economical, and non-disruptive way to achieve high-speed Internet connectivity throughout a building. Telkonet’s PLC systems offer the hard-wired security and reliability of a CAT-5 cabled network, but without the cost, physical disturbance and business disruption of wiring CAT-5. For properties looking to provide wireless coverage, Telkonet’s systems can be used to feed WiFi access points, which can be connected quickly and simply to any power outlet.
Series 5 Comparison “With 209 sites and limited numbers of IT technicians, we needed a reliable, plug-and-play system that was easy to install, maintain and operate. With Telkonet’s solution, we demonstrated that our own IT staff and contract electricians could install the system…”
Steve Custer, Supervisor CCTV/LAN Networking and A.V. Repair, Hillsborough County School District (SDHC)
