I'm really impressed with TKO's resillience in this market today. At the risk of jinxing it, TKO has recovered and held up in amazing fashion... which speaks well for how it might do after this blow-off is done. Volume after 4 hours of trading is only 50,000 which indicates we seem to have run out of sellers at 1.56!
Thanks Pops, just wish something I have would move up so I could reallocated some funds
MSHI at 52 Week low!!!!
I love being right!!!!
Shred, I am glad you still own some, and I do feel sorry for those who got in at a higher price and have seen the bottom fall out for awhile. I got caught with some higher priced stock, but have since bought at the much lower rate. I think it will pay off someday in the future(no specified time). Patience seems to run short for some and I can't blame them, but I think it's going to make a good run up. I hope that there will be many who benefit over the long run, myself included. I don't and never have advocated having a bunch of money in one stock, regardless of what it is, as diversification is key. I will tell you though, that several of my "Vegas" stocks are beginning to pay off and my percentages have been well above market levels over the last few days. I hope that keeps up also. As far as Walrus is concerned, his reply was supposed to be "shocking" to get getrader off his case. I am not sure if it did, but he assured me he has not sold any shares and has no intentions of selling anytime soon. I don't either, and plan to hold for a long time. Maybe some money will open up for you so you can invest more in the future.
Good investing partner!
Pop, I still own a little ,it's just that I feel totally mislead by a few "well respected" poster's. I became more long term oriented due to the information on developments within the company and frankly the urging of some who seemed to be in the know. I should have traded it many times just on price movement but let myself be pulled off my strategy. I don't want it to go down, I don't want to see a lot of good people here watch their investment evaporate. I hope the new people in the company will have a positive influence so that those holding shares at $4-5 might someday make a profit. I have been very tempted to add some but right now have no funds. I didn't sell everything because I didn't totally give up and I hate people who have no ownership lurking around stirring up trouble. By the way that came from Walrus's own shocking post. I don't make stuff up or have a wild imagination or try to put words in anyone's mouth.
Didn't GLL say that introducing the woman COO would bring us to $2.00...guess that didn't happen. Didn't Sirius say that the new COO would report to Dottie...wasn't right. Why does nobody understand this company and what a failure it has become?
How about the end of the day today...no way TKO makes $5M...no way no how. Funny that Sirius was floating that number. Won't even be close.
Shred, read my post #8046. You have to be careful to not hang on every word spoken by those on this board, especially a few in particular. Walrus, however, is the real deal and has been around before a lot of these whippersnappers came along. I'll defer to Walrus over some of the others on this board, and if Walman gets upset with some of the rhetoric posted at this site, how he responds may be different from others, but I'm telling you, he's the real deal and a real believer in this stock as I am. Let all remember, that those of us who really entered into this stock with expectations of it going somewhere are the backbone still. I myself have added some more shares as I think the right moves are being made personnel wise and Ron, I think, is showing some wisdom. Let's hope that it shows up as revenue downline, and not in the next couple of days Milkdud, I am talking about over the next two years. Can't wait that long? Get out and invest in other companies, I would suggest listening to LAKing, as he has found some good companies also!
Good investing!
He did not say he did, he said 'how do you know I did not?' If you cant read the frustration in his tone, I dont know what to tell you. It should not concern anyone what an individual investor does in the first place. If he had a gain and wanted to take money off the table, good for him.
Did he post that information or are you speaking for him? What is SOME?
He posted that on Yahoo (where he swore to never post again yada yada) in response to someone's comments. I got it from his own post. Go click on the history of his posts and read it for yourself. It was maybe last week or so.
No Walrus I didn't sell at 1.20 but thanks for your concern.
I'm BACK! I see the volume was near average, slightly above, no statistical SWAY one way or the other....and the pps went up nicely, as well....now tomorrow we shall see if the numbers in the Q2 will be good enf to sustain thru Friday.....and if the numbers even SEEM disappointing in ANY way, I sure hope that some sort of guidance will follow IMMEDIATELY..and of course, my greatest ALSO wish, outside of the guidance we have been waiting for for about 2 years or so...is that there will be a CC...at the least, to introduce us to the new leaders! and let them speak to us!!!!
EM, click on the "Hide Ibox" next the the Telko name at the top of the page and all of the info goes away. As far as ignoring someone, it shouldn't turn back on, so maybe you hit a wrong key, either way, find a posters name click on it, and then click on the "Ignore this poster" link. Should do it.
Good investing!
It seems it will not be long before you and everyone else who has bashed Ron and the company will owe him an apology. The stock is going up. Good things come to those who wait. Oh and by the way whatever!
Good luck to Jason and Dottie !! I hope this will start us on the road to recovery. RP was just not getting it done.IMO
Ain't that the truth... It seems like women always "gotta go"!
I just KNOW you are talking about my honesty and insight about how woman rule! Aren't you? hahahahahahahah
And now...I gotta go for the afternoon.....
Let's take a look at some things for a minute....an Exec. VP (who unfortunately has to report to the COO--which is not normally done--it is usually the other way around)...who has snap and already understands how things are done in Washington, and is obviously experienced in getting a job done....and now there is a COO who understands TKO, having been with them for a while, now, with Ethostream, and who too, knows how to get things done....and has successfully already proven himself as a hands-on sort of guy....he won;t be working from hme, I hope! And now there is going to be a conolidation of Ethostream, SSI, and the GEEKS, all with their own installers, under one director of traffic--the COO. And there will be consolidation of the administrative stuff---required for the govt work, like homeland security stuff, the military stuff, and the like....HOPEFULLY also, she will be directing traffic when it comes to GE (if still in the wings) or the Energy division of TKO that was announced what,2 years ago now?
Tko will save money by not having their OWN installers, because ES, SSI, and GEEK all have THEIR own installers....I do not know how many installers TKO has on the payroll...but if they are not needed anymore (even GE would have their own installers), the cost of thoe folks will most likely be moved OFF the TKO books....what maybe a million a yeaer in savings? Hopefully, they would be hired by ES, SSI et al....I hate to see anyone on unemployment....that savings should more than pay the salary of the new EVP, and the new COO.
And with full-time leaders, who have snap, and are not tired...who knows? things could get very good for TKO. Now the SALES department, hopefully, will be upgraded next---which I see the COO is in charge of--but HEY..we have been losing our sales in Europe, as far as I can tell, no one has been focued there, lately, it seems....but then, ES, SSI, and GEEKS, all have their OWN sales depts..... now I am rambling...thoughts...
Sirius, I appreciate the extra effort you have done concerning the info. on the new people. I am excited that they seem to have some great experience! I am thinking that if anyone still doesn't think the company is trying to move in a positive direction, then they Must Lack Knowledge. I hope the move will start upward soon with some good results in 2008.
Good Investing!
Sirius,
I am continually impressed with the quality, insight, and honesty of your posts. Thanks!
Gip
What what Walt?? thats what I heard before...TKO supposed to hire a woman for the COO position..well that was the rumour anyway..
now the stock is up...
Now what Walt??
I just looked at todays' stock performance...normal...when an announcement comes out, the stock goes down...but this time we KNOW that folks are waiting for RESULTS, tomorrow AH...and my guess is that some already know...based on the high volume of trades yesterday. Conundrum surrounds TKO right now...On the one hand, there is promise that maybe now, things can move forward..TKO has some 'snap' now with the restructuring of the TOP....on the other hand, we still have to deal with the past, when earnings come out tomorrow..and all are nervous.
I wonder, honestly now, if there aren't some shorts being covered today, in light of the announcement today. I don;t know---I just wonder.
They did--they hired 2 ppl instead of one person. One of each 'species'..hahahaha Tienor was already 'n the fold' if you will, as he is from Ethostream...so the new blood is a woman.
now for the poop on jason tienor

Sirius I thought TKO supposed to hire a woman...
and the stock continue to drift..
Just remember---RP stays home a lot, and hopefully will continue to do so---there is a mandate, IMO, that this time, things "work". You are not the only one who is at the end of a rope, waiting to use it on somebody.
oops! you are having ANOTHER one of those nightmarish daydreams MLK...you need to wake up! You sound as though you are SCARED! or maybe just in your negative mood--had your coffee yet? hahahaha
From what I have read thus far, it appears that there will now be a full-time person handling the operations of day to day...one who is experienced in doing so, successfully...AND, there will be someone who is gov't savvy (probably still talks to people she used to work with and around--who ya gonna call? She will know without having to grope for an answer)....AND who is adept at doing the job--otherwise, why would she have been promoted in the passt?
So now we have people who KNOW what to do, know HOW to do it, and will probably 'show up' to get it done. What could be wrong with that?
FYI, as a woman, I can absolutely re-assure you, that the job will get done, properly,.....AND...I can also assure you that it will expand the company coffers because of it. :^D
AND, women in business, who have had responsibility, KNOW how to get a man to do what they want---they are not afraid!!!!
hahahahahahaha
It seems like a good pick but I love this.."Jason is highly qualified to drive our sales and take the company to the next level."
Next level..what the hell I've been waiting for that "next level" for five years now,I mean come on!!!
These people will end up stooges to RP...everyone knows who is in charge still..the guy that has run the company into the ground sufficient enough to require two new highly paid executives to waste more money
MLK....you must be having nightmares...GLL and Walrus have never commented, not once, aobut a woman becoming the COO---I was the one asking the question, because some enlightened ones over on the Yeah-boo board used the word 'she' when referring to the position. Now, you are assuming that the whispers of those folks 'over there', are true? You mean--they might have non-public info? hmph!
NOTE---Dorothy Cleal has a title that is BIGGER than COO! hahahaha...she is actually gonna 'run the show!' SHE is actually gonna tell all those men what to do! GO WOMAN!
;^D
Now that TKO owes even more money due to the recent financing, losses will continue to get bigger and bigger. Dottie won't help
Looks like MS. Cleal may help "beef up" the Navy contracting end of things, possibly other military application. I hope she's very successful and seems to be a good addition.
Good investing!
I would just like to remind everyone that there is no way possible TKO does $5M on its losses (ie. earnings) that is to be announced this week. I know that number has been floated numerous times, but there is no way they even come close to it. In fact, they won't even make $4M. Well under that I presume. Another disappointing quarter I guess.
AND when she got her promotion at SRA.....

Dorothy Cleal when she was at SRA and some words about her.
I thought it was supposed to be a woman...at least that is what we were told from the masters of disinformation, GLL and Walrus.
Oh yeah...and she said TKO would be at $2.00 after this news...I'm waiting

Good morning all...and Color, I had to remove your 'wish-desire', as it was kinda, well, almost...well you know why. I am surprised to see the TKO box in EBAY--I wonder where the guy got if from? As Isaiah says---it probably needs 'the rest of the system' in order for it to work properly. But a 'gadget' sort of person could open it up and figure out how it all works...my brother does that all the time! But he investigates the innards so that he can more easily figure out 'how',things are set up inside, so that he knows what to do if something goes wrong, and he is called to 'fix it'. The seller looks like he specializes in electronics and the like, himself.....but it was a surprise to see it! !
It does no good to have this part without the rest of the system. I know because we have Telkonet in our 75,000 sq ft building and it works great.
Sirius, here's what I think: Some people on this site and others emphasize the negative they have heard to try and get people scared. Saying things like Walrus sold his shares is just a scare tactic. Walrus has never sold any shares and has infused his own blend of humor to get back at some of these naysayers and keep them off of his back too. Sometimes we read too much into what some say and there are those on this board who honestly are investors and are sticking with the company. Unfortunately, sometimes we have to resort to protective tactics to keep some of the bashers at bay or feed them with false info. so they can go off blabbing some untruths that really only affect the "chicken littles" of the stock world. As I said before, and know that others believe (including Walrus), this is a long term investment, and if you want day trading, go to the pink sheets or other places like LAKING has done in his spare time and has made some good money. As for me, I can't invest in OTC/Pink sheet companies because my retirement fund doesn't allow it. So...I have to "invest" in companies I think will pay off downline, like when I retire in a few years. TKO is still one of them for me. I hope all long termers will make good bucks over the next few years. For those of you who can't wait, move on to something else!
Good day and good investing!
Holy Crap now there on EBAY.........
http://cgi.ebay.com/TELKONET-IBRIDGE-1B8200-SM-AI-ETHERNET_W0QQitemZ140144890128QQihZ004QQcategoryZ1....
The blood's been running in the streets for awhile now and no sign of drying up.
Welcome back. Great entry point.
Here is what I think, MLK, and others....a LOT of people who put money into TKO, are smart enuf to buy when it is low, and sell when it is high, and then wait for it to go down again, and buy some more, again, and then sell again when it goes up.
TRADERS do that all the time, short sellers and buyers spread trade their stock picks ALL the time..Hedge funds, banks, all the time. The little 'ol retail person who pays full price for their stock shares, and then waits, like our previous generation did, is merely being raped by the lying and corruption of this market as it is today. And when I meet someone who does nothing more than pump up..or destroy down, a stock, with a one-sided approach--and nothing more to back it up except for an agenda that excludes any facts--I tend to think of them as 'unreliable'...which is why I do my own homework, and try like heck to think for myself!
Thanks for the info. and extra digging. Why doesn't it surprise me that these kind of things are/have and will continue to happen. I had another stock that was absolutely crushed by a Merrill Lynch article posted on Sunday after posting a great week prior. The stock dove way south, so it makes me wonder, who profited from that? Somehow the price had skyrocketed before and then flopped after the ML article. Maybe we are talking about the same company, but nonetheless, I have seen this kind of scam up front and personal. The only way us long termers will win is to hope that the technology holds up, gets better and eventually gets a dominant position in the market. Who knows? Time will tell, but I hope our board will not lose sight of its' mission to be an information site, with good banter, and not just a shoot to kill Yahoo type of place.
Thanks again Sirius, may our price rise inspite of naysayers!
Did you ALSO take the time to READ what was posted?

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…”

PLC Product Components
Telkonet’s systems comprise a set of compact building blocks – the Telkonet Gateway, which connects via a router to the site’s external broadband feed, and a Telkonet Coupler that interfaces with a building’s electrical distribution panel. A further unit, the Telkonet eXtender™, can be connected to the Telkonet Coupler to provide additional reach for multi-building sites. To access the Internet, a user simply connects their laptop into a Telkonet iBridge unit.
Telkonet Gateway™ | The "brain" of the system, the Telkonet Gateway converts IP connections to a PLC signal and distributes PLC to the Telkonet Coupler. Through a web or CLI interface, the Telkonet Gateway allows management and configuration of the other Telkonet components. Each Telkonet Gateway supports up to 63 Telkonet eXtenders, 1,023 Telkonet iBridges (users) and up to 4,096 Ethernet endpoints. | |
Telkonet Couplers | The Telkonet Coupler takes the PLC signal from the Telkonet Gateway or Telkonet eXtender and injects that signal into the in-building electrical wiring. Installation of the Telkonet Coupler requires a licensed electrician to meet National Electric Code (NEC) and local electric code standards. Also comes in a model with integrated disconnect switch. | |
Telkonet eXtender™ | The Telkonet eXtender provides additional reach and scalability for networks that cannot be properly covered by a single Telkonet Gateway or multi-building environments. It can be used with wireless radio or wireline networks. | |
Telkonet iBridge™ | The Telkonet iBridge enables a user to connect a computer or IP device to the PLC network. It contains a "test" function to determine the PLC signal strength and has an RJ45 user port connection. |
Telkonet Series 5
Setting unprecedented performance levels for security, speed, QoS and capacity, the Telkonet Series 5 200 Mbps system takes PLC to a new level as a viable networking option for high performance, critical applications, including digital video surveillance, implementations in the utility substation environment, and harsh outdoor commercial installations. Telkonet Series 5 delivers a range of significant performance advances, including the following.
