I didn't receive any message re Sirius. Whatever is happening, I wish her the best.
BSD
That is it for today.
Att anyone, I have not seen a message since this morning except for Sonny's & mine to Sirius wishing her well during this weeks tests. Post's # 8370 & 8371. Please advise if the same applies to anyone else or is it my computer. Thanks, Walrus. Just saw EMarshall's # 8372
Does anyone know when the short interest report for July comes out?
Sirius, The same good wishes to you from me, praying that all goes well for you. Walrus
OT--I hope everything goes well with you Sirius and hope GOD is on your side...
Anybody have any ideas why MSTI would have climbed $.25 today? The volume was only 9K, so I suppose someone could have afforded to overpay for a small number of shares, but I am not sure why you would unless you really wanted into the stock - or had a short to cover.
Just to add to that, I would not be too concerned with warrants that far out of the money. By the time they are excerciseable, the stock would be trading above 4.17, which would happen over time or with a significant catalyst.
Point being, if those warrants are excerised it is because good things have happened and at that point I dont much care if the stock is slightly diluted. That will already be priced in.
I think the last round of financing had warrants at $4.17, and I believe that was the same number used for previous funding. Until the pps gets above that, we are relatively safe from dilution I believe. There are warrants issue to the BOD and key employees for lower pps, but that hopefully will not turn into excess supply on the market.
Although I have urged the ability to remove certain posters, I agree that this forum has been policed well. That, in combination with my ability to use ignore, leads me to agree with Pops.
Sirius, I too am not a "valued" member at the Hub, so I can't reply privately. I think this board polices itself fairly well and keeps decorum for the most part. Diversity is a good thing in most cases. I like the info. that I get from this site and hope it keeps up, otherwise, yes I would think another site would then be better. Here's to an upweek!
Good investing!
Funny ch!t..Don't even know Tim (Steeltown) got banned here..and MLK is still here?? Oh common Matt you can do better than that besides we need some negativity to balance our cheerleading team :)
Sirius, ditto what BSD said.
Same for me, We need someone to dilute the Koolaid now and then or we risk another ride from $3.60 to $1.50 in the future. This is board is fine with me but I'm not as sensitive to the occasional negative posts. Shred
Sirius,
and others!! As requested, here is a (link) for the 'Ceocast' news article.. Near middle of page...
http://www.ceocast.com/(epehdz55byq3fpmco4k4jg45)/NewsLetters.aspx?id=409
Stolen from Yahoo---can someone find a link for this? and post it? for verification reasons?
I am not going to be 'around' this next week, starting tomorrow morning....and will probably not be able to post OR keep up on the reading of other posts, nor will I be watching for news relevant to TKO....so folks...be nice...have fun. and Please let me know one way or the other, yur opinion, re a private board. So far, I have heard from 6 people. Will tally up next weekend, probably, and let you know.
CEOcast report today: (Not rated) 19-Aug-07 04:19 pm Telkonet, Inc. (AMEX: TKO), the leader in providing in-building broadband access over existing electrical wiring, last week announced that EthoStream LLC, a Telkonet company, has been awarded an annual contract from ExtreamTV to provide customer service and support for 7,500 timeshare units. Primary criteria for ETV's decision was EthoStream's exceptional customer service record and dedicated in-house support team, providing 24/7 proactive monitoring of both the property connectivity and network device status, minimizing guest downtime and increasing customer loyalty. Extream TV, based in Boston, MA, is a leading supplier of next-generation technology, such as high-speed Internet access, video on demand, and high definition television, for the hospitality and time-share markets, servicing approximately 14% of the timeshare market in North America. Shares ended the week at $1.46, down 34 cents.

Sirius, I cannot reply privately as I'm not a paying member but merely an Ihub barnacle. I think the board functions as it should now. It keeps it more civil than Yahoo, but there's a free flow of ideas. I appreciate you guys keeping it up, despite our occasional differences. If people decide to move elsewhere I will of course follow.

Raven...thanks for the article and for printing it out.
Much appreciated!

Excellent reading 'Raven'!! Thank you...
A VERY good find, Raven..thank you for putting that up on the board!
SPECIAL SITUATIONS:
Telkonet Inc. (AMEX: TKO) $1.80
Many times it will take a company with disruptive technology longer and more money than investors anticipate. Sometimes so long, that they end up in Wall Street's discard pile, forgotten by the investment community. Sometimes these companies turn out to be bargains, as it often takes investors who have given up on their potential time to realize that the business has turned around. Such could be the case with Telkonet Inc., a developer of powerline communications (PLC) technology that enables broadband Internet access using a building's internal electrical wiring. After a string of disappointments, the company reported its strongest quarter in memory, as revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007 more than tripled to $3.7 million compared to $1.2 million in the 2006 second quarter. Gross profit also rose by a similar amount.
The company provides several technologies targeted at the hospitality industry, but the one that caused the surge in second quarter revenue was the SmartEnergy product, which allows customers, such as large hotels, the ability to maximize their energy uses by using intelligent programmable thermostats to adjust and maintain a room's temperature. As a result, wasted energy from heating and cooling unoccupied rooms can be avoided as the SmartSytem Setback constantly varies each room's temperature, guaranteeing that desired temperature will be achieved for any guest within minutes upon return to their room. Lights, using sensors, are turned off when the room is not in use. Energy consumption is reduced by up to 30% with this system which is a huge value-added in today's volatile, high-priced energy market. Babson College recently selected SmartEnergy to manage the in-room energy consumption in one of its dormitories by eliminating wasted energy from heating and cooling unoccupied rooms.
Telkonet custom-designs and develops all of its products and services, an attractive feature that enables the company to offer unique solutions to customers based on their specific needs. TKO's robust technology focuses on delivering high-speed transmission of secure voice, video and data communications over electrical wiring that is found in-premise for any building. This is done through the company's trademarked Telkonet iWire System that taps into a building's existing internal electrical wiring to establish Internet connectivity throughout an entire building. Telkonet iWire System offers a cost-efficient, reliable solution for properties not wired with CAT-5 or for those properties where such wiring is too expensive to install. There are thousands of hotels and properties that can't afford the expense of installing expensive wiring throughout the property. Through TKO's technology, they can offer state-of-the-art communications without a large capital outlay.
The targeted market for Telkonet's products and services is vast and consists of the hospitality, multi-dwelling unit, multi-tenant unit, residential and small business markets. Well known customers including Choice Hotels International, Destination Hotels, Marcus Hotels & Resorts, Sandman Hotels, Inns & Suites, the U.S. Department of Defense, Trump apartment and condominium properties, all have deployed the company's leading-edge technology.
The acquisitions of EthoStream and Smart Systems International allowed the company to expand its product portfolio to further diversify itself from competitors who rely on outsourcing for product development. TKO recognized the importance of EthoStream's comprehensive management platform that is backed by a dedicated in-house customer and technical support team that has a customer base of over 1900 hotel and time-share properties. As a result, the company can offer a complete line of product offerings including wireless access points and bridges, Power-over-Ethernet devices, Ethernet switches, DSL equipment and digital video recorder equipment to a large audience. Property owners using Telkonet's technology can remotely monitor and manage their high-speed Internet access system in real time to determine that their guests are receiving high quality, reliable service. The number of users on the Internet can be viewed in addition to monitoring the amount of bandwidth being consumed. Support calls can also be tracked by management to ensure employees are providing a quality customer experience, which is crucial to the viability for any company in the hospitality industry.
Other unique qualities found in the TKO system include E-Secure, an efficient, manageable digital video security solution that provides a new level of service for property security. Such a system has the capability to display and record from 1 to 16 cameras simultaneously, providing managers with rapid and easy access to their videos and recordings. With Internet use on the rise in today's high technological world, alternative wiring options that are high quality and cost-effective are a must in the residential market as well as the commercial segment. Recently Telkonet signed a deal with 1-800-905-GEEK to penetrate the small business and residential market to bring together their family of broadband networking and energy management products to such customers.
As a result of the company taking longer than anticipated to ramp revenue, the stock has been a disappointment, creating the opportunity for risk-oriented investors. Shares that fetched more than $5 in late October, currently trade for just $1.80, giving the company a valuation of just $120 million. Recently, it implemented a program to perform nearly all of its installations in-house, virtually eliminating the need for outside contractors, which should result in higher margins and meaningful cost savings. The company said last week that it expected profitability by year-end. It also said that its energy management business should grow over the coming quarters as both electric utilities and building owners seek additional ways to conserve energy. Finally, its federal government-related programs are now well underway and are accelerating and its hospitality business is winning important contracts. Since the company appears to be heading down the right path, long-overdue rewards could be heading for shareholders.

Didn't know there was Private boards on I hub?
Oh, duh. Scroll down. There it is.
Great post. Thanks for the repost.
BSD
Is there anyone, who follows TKO and posts on this board, interested in having a 'PRIVATE Board?' for our dicussion on TKO? I am a member of a couple of them, to date, and because it is a private board, we can discuss situations surrounding TKO, any way we want......ANYBODY? Send me a PM or an email with your vote yeah or nay, along with the alias of those yu might want on the board with us...and include your alias, or you won't be on the private board, should we choose to go private.
Ouch, who would delete that post by go tko? it was very informative. Sirius, thanks for reposting it.
Why would somebody delete it? Aren't you three the only people that can delete?
ouch, you have a great weekend and same to you all.
Glad to see 'go TKO's' DD information post.. Very well constructed and I was amazed to see it deleted...
go tko's DD in case you missed it, follows:
The following Telkonet public announcements were taken from Reuters. Please read carefully and objectively.
(:http://stocks.us.reuters.com/stocks/keyDevelopments.asp?timestamp=20070202191200&page=1&ipts....
Telkonet, Inc. Announces Two Strategic AcquisitionsFri Feb 2 19:12:00 EST 2007
Telkonet, Inc. announced that the Company has entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire a technology developer of energy management systems. Their proprietary energy management controls eliminate wasted energy from heating and cooling unoccupied spaces. Telkonet has also entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire a US wireless hospitality company. Terms of the deal were not disclosed
Telkonet, Inc. Issues FY 2007 Revenue GuidanceWed Feb 21 14:30:00 EST 2007
Telkonet, Inc. announced that for fiscal 2007, it expects revenues to be approximately $25 million
NOTE THE DATES
February 2 - Announcement of two strategic acquisitions
February 21 - Announcement of $25million projected revenue for 2007.
Now as these 2 companies included a review of their revenue targets. It would be inappropriate then for Telkonet to "exclude" SSI and Ethostream revenue in Telkonet's 2007 revenue estimates annouunced on February 21 when SSI and Ethostream projected revenues for 2007 were known at that time and the two companies had already agreed to be acquired by Telkonet. This was material information that should have and was disemminated to shareholders on February 21.
While I have you here, let's also review the Q2 revenues. Ron Pickett said on the June 14 conference call that revenue would be between $3million and $4million. "Probably right in the middle" as he put it. I'll help you out here MLK. Right in the middle of $3-$4 million is $3.5million. Revenue came in at $3.7million. In other words they beat revenue projections. Once again, you are the only one that projected the $5million smokescreen. Also, Telkonet owns 60% of MST so they recognize MST revenue just like they recognize MST expenses so please put that $3.1million "real" revenue to bed as well. The June 14 conference call had MST 2007 revenue at $3million. Expect MST revenue recognition in the 3rd Q as well and appropriately so,
Otherwise, I'm sure you agree that the Customer Service contract deal announced today with ExtremeTV is very positive. I like the new COO Jason Tienor already. Customer Service is not traditionally a revenue generator but rather a business cost. The Telkonet Customer Support Representatives has become a revenue stream. Brilliant!! I see product installs for ExtremeTV coming next - Ethostream does that as well. It's my bet that Telkonet will acquire that company eventually for their original content. Telkonet is approaching this the right way. Combining operations first and when Telkonet's cashflow ramps up, they can pay cash for the whole company. Telkonet/MST having content could be intriguing.
go_tko,
A very true and unbiased post. It will fall on deaf ears with MLK as we all know.
Thank you for taking the time to write that post, I`m sure it will help any newbies with their DD.
Have a great weekend.

ADDED: TWO big block holders from 97 yesterday to 99 todays' report
NOTE: Back to more sellers than buyers
http://www.cnbc.com/id/15837275?q=tko
YUP...and looks like Mike Porter may be gone, too....
It's happy hour at I-hub...unless you are involved with TKO...then it's drown your sorrows hour....what a crappy week for TKO...at least the market overall had a little positive news to end the week...was TKO down every single day this week? It is definitely bad more quickly then I expected. I thought we would be down at these levels, but not so fast. That isn't good news for the upcoming weeks.
Another down day for TKO...hope everyone quickly pulls money out of TKO and gets it back into the market...that is the only way to recover some of these TKO losses in the short term.
This stock is truly tanking even faster than I thought possible. I feel really bad for any newbies that bought into the scam after the recent run up.
Look, here is the problem with TKO in a nutshell:
At the beginning of this year, RP promised that TKO, with MSHI in the fold, would take in $25M in revenue. Most people, including myself, believed this was possible after the GE announcement. But, as you will see below, there is no way TKO even comes close to making $25M this year.
After the $25M promise, things changed. First, they went out and bought Ethostream and SSI through dilution of TKO shares. Then, they spun off MSHI to reportedly cut expenses.
Now, in the conference call that most everyone on I-Hub, save MLK, was so excited about, RP told us that Etho and SSI would contribute about $12M per year (I think that number is accurate, if memory serves me right) to the bottom line. So, you would think that instead of TKO generating $25M in revenue, it would now even look better with $37M in revenue. Nope, that was the first punch to the gut...RP promised in the CC that TKO would still only be able to generate $25M in revenue, despite the contributions from Etho and SSI. So, in effect RP diluted TKO shares only to make the same promise that he had made several months earlier with TKO's undiluted shares. That was the first downgrade in projections that was ignored by everyone...except MLK and the market.
Then, in this last quarterly report, TKO announces that they generated $3.6 in revenue. Only, when you consider all the above information, you have to take out $500K of it, because it is really MSHI generated revenue. Leaving TKO with only $3.1M in revenue. Then, if you think that Etho and SSI will bring in $12M this year and divide it by four to arrive at a quarterly number, you quickly find that Etho and SSI probably generated $3M this last quarter. So, when all is said and done, TKO generated $100K this last quarter. $100 flipping thousand dollars is all we got for continual dilution and lost opportunities. What happened to all those BIG contracts? What happened to GE, the schools, the navy, homeland security, etc, etc, etc. The fact is that RP and TKO made agreements with all those groups and couldn't generate more than $100,000 last quarter. In effect, those agreements are worth about as much as the paper they are printed on.
Why is TKO stock going straight down? It's not really all that hard to figure out when considering all the above.
As I write this, TKO is down to $1.43 when most of the cheerleaders thought we would be well above $2.00 after the quarterly and COO announcements. MLK said nope, back down to the lowest levels we have seen. The market, which never lies, apparently agrees with MLK. I'm just sorry I couldn't help more of you sooner.
Thats what I was thinking. It is possible.
Thank you very much for the enlightenment you don't see that too often and Ihought there was some hanky panky
There is no conspiracy involving this stock...why don't people get that? Sometimes people make stupid decisions...it happens all the time. Simply put, somebody made a bad trade this morning at $1.38...but, in a few weeks, everyone else on here may be wishing they made the same bad trade.
Hey, please remind me who said TKO would be above $2.00? Several people, if I recall correctly. I was the only one predicting the quick decline below $1.50 again. And, remember, the worse is yet to come. Wait until October when TKO will hopefully finally see a bottom. How low that bottom will be is the scary part.
I would just like to also remind everyone that despite my frightenly accurate predictions on all things TKO and MSHI, I am not THE GOD. I may be A GOD, but I'm not the THE GOD.
TEN CENTS?!!!!!! IF that was a legi trade--then
SOMEone is 'taking care' of SOMEone else....and that is stinky trading---not zero sum objectivity.
thanks for your insight, Gip....no one can say, now, that the economy is booming, can they? What with all these 'circumstances'. Yesterday, perhaps I mentioned, there was discussion on CNBC, as to whether or not,it would be better, to just let people lose thier homes, or better if Feds stepped in....hahahahhaha...and THEN, one of the young female analysts wanted to make sure that everyone KNEW, that if we stopped allowing China to supply our toys, toothpaste, and food...our prices would go up at Walmart! We die, but the price of the product tht kills us, is cheap, anywaay! hahahahaa
Not much happening with TKO today...except that the pps is declining 100 shares at a time....just doesn;t seem right to me...when I compare the bid sizes on each side...not very balanced at all.....
No, because someone is always on the other side of the trade. Trading is a zero sum game in my opinion, someone wins and someone loses.
OR RBT--there could have been a fat finger at work, as well...and if that is the case, it should have been corrected......someone picking up shares at 10 cents is a little bit stinky, don't you think?
pps going 100 shares at a time....
You can show a bid/offer at whatever price you want. Whether someone wants to execute a trade at that price is up to that party. There was an exchange system problem this morning and most if not all of AMEX had a delayed opening. However, that does not stop anyone else from posting quotes.
To answer your question directly, someone most likely got nervous thinking the stock was going to open lower and sold to the only bid that was posted at 1.39. When the exchange actually did open, obviously that trade was a silly one.
If your broker/dealer lets you, you can post quotes before and after market as well. There is very little liquidity thats why its very dangerous to do it. You never know whats gonna happen and there are no undos.

Fax: 14108971144
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)

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. |

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.
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™ – AG5 | The Telkonet Gateway is a remotely manageable network interface that converts Ethernet connections to a power line carrier signal and transmits the signal to the Telkonet Coupler. The Telkonet Gateway allows management and configuration of the Telkonet Series 5 via a web browser or Telnet command line interface. | |
Telkonet Couplers – MVC-200 and DPC-200 | The Telkonet Coupler is wired to the AC or DC low-voltage bus and connected to the Telkonet Gateway with a coaxial cable. The Telkonet Coupler takes the power line carrier signal from the Telkonet Gateway or Telkonet eXtender and injects the signal into the AC or DC electrical wiring. The Telkonet Coupler is also available with an integrated disconnect switch (coupler breaker). | |
Telkonet eXtender™ – AX5 | The Telkonet eXtender provides additional power line carrier signal reach and scalability for networks that cannot be covered by a single Telkonet Gateway. | |
Telkonet iBridge™ – AB5 | The Telkonet iBridge is wired to the AC or DC supply at each point requiring a communications interface. The Telkonet iBridge recovers the power line carrier signal and converts it back into an Ethernet or serial connection for the devices or applications. It contains a test function to determine the power line carrier signal strength. |
