Okay...I just got word back...Puerto Rico has eight buildings with elevators. Should be a huge profit center for TKO. I might have to upgrade my prediction. Below $1.21 by November 1st.
Wow...thank you fed. Hope everyone was fully leveraged out of TKO and in the general market with today's announcement from the fed...it is obvious a lot of money will be made today, as long as you don't have it in TKO
Thats pretty funny MLK
Big sell orders popping up on TKO...people trying to get their money out to buy some stocks actually poised to move over the next few weeks due to the fed's action. TKO is dead in the water. Remember, below $1.20 by November 1st.
Hillarious
Thanks Sonny....I noticed that the pps has remained fairly stable, at the end of the day, the past couple of weeks...and I read pops' analysis, sometime recently, regarding the new rules that go into effect on shorts et al.....and I do remember one day, noting that TKO put out a PR, and the pps intraday, declined, yet ended up even or up...and I noticed that the volume was often low, comparatively speaking, at the times that I actually looked (which was NOT everyday, BTW). My thinking was that the PR's prompted an opportunity for those that wanted to cover...and of course we all know about buy on the rumor, sell on the news...and that little philosophy seemed to be working overtime---and with little volume--it stands out. BUT, I have ALSO noticed that the pps is fairly stable...since a month or so ago, the pps has gone from $1.20 to what it is today, and the CNBC trend of buyers and sellers is going both ways, instead of JUST more sellers than buyers. One day in the past 2 weeks, I even noticed that the largest fund invested in TKO had a low turnover rate next to its name on the CNBC site---where before they had ALWAYS had a high one---meaning, IMO, they were not short selling as much to make their money, and is one contributing explanation for the pps stabilizing, instead of diving lower.
The pennies and nickles are starting to add up---I saw the MEMO-post re: GE, but did not devour-read it....but I sure hope there is a public GE announcement in the next 2-3 weeks!
TKO has repeatedly proven that all elevators go down.
Morning Pat good to see you back :)
Not a big news Walt but this will add to their peggy bank..
GM all yes even you MLK :)
looks like tko keeps finding new niches for the technology. can't hurt.

Telkonet Elevates POP-Vision's In-Elevator Marketing In Puerto Rico
Telkonet iWire System™ demonstrates its flexibility, delivering data connectivity for in-elevator displays in San Juan’s financial district
Telkonet, Inc. (AMEX:TKO), the leading technology solutions provider for broadband networking, end-to-end service support and energy management, reports that its Telkonet iWire System™ has been deployed by electronic point-of-sale display specialist POP-Vision, to deliver data for in-elevator installations. Representing an innovative example of its flexibility, the Telkonet iWire System has been installed by San Juan-based New World Telecom at three office-building locations in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and was selected for its ease and speed of installation – just four hours at each location – as well as for its operational reliability.
Installed in elevators at the 23-floor Westernbank World Plaza, the 16-floor Union Plaza and the 16-floor Mercantil Plaza buildings, POP-Vision’s display screens carry news, financial reports and advertising. The data is delivered via the IP network connectivity of the Telkonet iWire System, which transforms a site’s existing electrical wiring into a data backbone without affecting its power delivery functionality. Using Telkonet’s solution, POP-Vision was able to take advantage of the wiring already supplying electricity into the elevators, avoiding the complications, expense and installation dangers of providing additional cabling in the elevator shafts.
Headquartered in Argentina, POP-Vision specializes in the development and deployment of digital communication media, particularly via display-screen presentation technology in retail and corporate environments.
Pablo Litvachkes, General Manager of the company’s Puerto Rican division, which opened earlier this year, commented: “This project represents an innovative extension of our electronic point-of-sale marketing. By mounting our display screens inside the elevators, we are able to take full advantage of the fact that people traveling in the elevators are a captive audience; every person taking the elevators has little choice but to watch the information and promotions on our screens. These buildings are located in San Juan’s Hato Rey financial district, and contain corporate offices, banks, law practices and consulates, as well as government offices. We can now offer our advertisers an extremely cost-effective medium for targeting this tightly-defined audience.
“Following recommendations by New World Telecom, we selected the Telkonet iWire System as providing a much simpler and faster installation option than the other systems we evaluated. Wireless would have entailed a far more extensive installation, involving antennas in the elevator shafts, and is also not necessarily the most reliable mechanism for delivering data to a moving elevator inside a reinforced concrete building! Similarly, the cost and difficulties of installing dedicated CAT 5 cabling also ruled this out as a viable option. Telkonet’s solution was a far easier choice, avoiding all the complications, saving us installation time – and therefore budget – and making it less dangerous for the technicians. We achieved excellent connectivity with the system as soon as everything was installed, and we are already planning to roll out this solution at other locations.”
New World Telecom’s Daniel Hurst and Ricardo Torres worked closely with POP-Vision throughout the project, to help achieve the optimum installation. A Telkonet iBridge™ interface unit was installed for each computer, located in the top cabin of the elevators. These receive the Internet feed to each elevator, enabling the online advertising, as well as news, stock market and weather reports. Via the IP connectivity of the Telkonet iWire System, the remote computers automatically send a status report every 10 minutes, allowing POP-Vision to monitor their correct functionality and any problems to be detected quickly and easily, thereby ensuring maximum quality of service.

Anyone care to comment on the news? Interesting use of the technology.
Looks like TKO will finish the day in negative territory. It looks to me like the buyers have "dried up."
I have never been a chart person, but I would advise anyone thinking of buying TKO to look at the six month chart...then the one year chart...then the two year chart...etc.
Do you see any patterns? Now, based on that pattern, which way do you think TKO is heading?
And, it is only getting worse.
To those I may have saved, you are welcome.
Back to even for the day...how could that be if selling had "dried up?"
Wow...some big chunks being sold in the past few minutes. I wonder why big holders of this company would be jumping ship at a loss presumably? Only October will tell I'm afraid.
Yep...just as predictable as the people who come out of the woodwork every morning when TKO pops up about seven cents until the sellers wake up and bring it back down. Last week was a down week...just like most other weeks before that. TKO is trending to depths unchartered. Remember below $1.20 by November 1st.
My God you're predictable. I checked the price and saw that it gave some back, so I say to myself go check IHub bet MLK is now posting. I bet you also come out at night to grab the cheese.
Yep...no sellers around...must be the reason TKO is at the lows of the day...this stock never maintains its gains...never has. I will never understand why people get so excited about a 4% pop to start the day...it never finishes there. I hope you sold, because the slide continues.
Sellers have dried up. could it be that MLK's prediction of 2.70 by end of October is about to come true? Gee, and I thought he was overly optimistic.

Telkonet, Inc. (AMEX: TKO), the leader in providing in-building broadband access over existing electrical wiring and innovative energy management systems, last week reported that it has delivered its FIPS 140-2 validated, powerline networking solution to over 200 Department of Defense (DoD) sites nationwide. The Telkonet iWire System, using powerline communications (PLC) technology, taps into a building's existing internal electrical wiring to establish secure Internet connectivity throughout an entire building, eliminating the need to install additional cable or wiring. Telkonet said that an additional 600 DoD locations have been scheduled for deployment between now and through 2008, and will positively impact revenues well into next year. The company also reported that EthoStream, LLC, a Telkonet company, continues to recognize accelerated sales growth through 2007, expecting year-end sales of approximately $5 million. Combined with Telkonet SmartEnergy's revenue projection of $5 million for 2007, Telkonet's recent acquisitions appear to be key factors in the company's goal of becoming profitable by year end.Also of note, according to industrial giant General Electric's newsletter, which TKO has said nothing publicly about, GE Energy recently signed an exclusive agreement with TKO to develop a high-speed broadband networking platform designed specifically for substations, power plants or other utility sites where traditional connectivity is not economically, environmentally or technically feasible. Although PLC technology has been used by Telkonet for years to deliver simple, cost-effective and secure broadband network access in hotels, resorts and other commercial buildings, this technology has not been widely considered for monitoring and data acquisition over the low-voltage power networks in substations. Currently, GE is helping Telkonet evaluate the product from the R&D side, and to understand the requirements for electric utilities. A successful collaboration with GE Energy could lead to many new opportunities for Telkonet. Shares ended the week at $1.63, down 4 cents.
Sept 7th's Think Equity report is linked here. It has lots of good info in it you might find interesting:
http://www.thinkthoughts.net/issues/ttcurrent.pdf
TKO is found on page 12 as one of the weeks "top performers" up 11.3%, however, on page 13 it also still carries a "sell" rating based on an "expected decline of 20% or more over the next 12 months". I'd expect this rating to change shortly. They tend to be very late in changing their recommendations... eg. Blue Coat and FSLR should no longer be rated "Buy" IMO, but down graded to "Accumulate", or perhaps "Sell".
Statistic info on the population of the US is very interesting! Have a nice weekend all!
Another down week for TKO..what else is new? Down week. Down year. Down two years. Down three years. Etc, etc, etc. Luckily for everyone, there isn't much more down to go.
I love these optimistic outlooks...this company has been a disaster for years...but hey, things have been looking good since August 27th at 1:34 p.m.
Most investors in this company have lost tons and tons of money. There is no way to put lipstick on this pig. I think it's going down more. The trend of YEARS is on my side. The trend of two weeks, one day, two hours, and sixteen minutes is on yours.
Pops,
If TKO goes cashflow positive from operations to a significant degree in the 3rd quarter, I agree with you it may jump back towards $2.60. For now, I'd be very happy with $1.90 by the end of October, and then a jump over $2 after the CC (in November probably).
I think lot depends on general market conditions and the investing climate by then. I heard an analyst this morning suggest that the Fed may only cut the DISCOUNT rate again rather than the FUNDS rate. Frankly, this makes the most sense to me. The financial institutions need a lot more liquidity. We need the 1/2% FUNDS rate cut to stimulate the market (via the consumer) for sure, but it's not the best move for the economy overall, and will lead to added inflation (from a sinking dollar) next year.
Time will tell, but I think it's looking more and more promising for TKO. Its price performance since late August has been solid!!
Waco, don't know if you have seen my guess, but I say $2.60 by the end of October. I haven't really forecasted past that date, but I am thinking $4-5 per share by Jan 1, if all of the ducks align right. I think what some are nervous about in October is the shorting rules go into effect, starting the 15th if I remember right. Of course anyone who is shorting, much less naked shorting, wants this stock to go down as much as possible before that date so they can cover and get out of Dodge. What kind of estimates do you have?
I want to make it clear to all on the board, that these are just my estimates and based on my own research and some luck. Please don't invest...or sell solely on what one person says anywhere, in any form of communication. No one can be 100% accurate. I do believe, however, that TKO has some great opportunities opening up and should soon reflect in their accounting and in the share price. I mean, that's why we are on this board discussing this right? To find winners and stick with them! Anyone who sees only a downside and keeps posting negative reports is probably just doing it to aggravate true shareholders and possibly make money by getting responses. I think it is fine to voice frustrations as many of us have experienced, but I also think it is good to point out the positives when they are happening also.
Good investing and have a great weekend!
TKO is like watching paint dry...I'm so bored. Remember when this company actually had prospects and potential. Now we all just sit around and wait for it to reach $1.20 by November 1st.
Again, nothing from TKO about GE for how long now?
If you would like to make a wager on TKO price on Jan 1, 2008, I'm your guy. Tell me what you project, and I will reply with my estimate, and the amount of the wager. Closest to the number wins. I'd like to see if you can walk the walk!!!!!!!!!We alread know you can talk...............
All I can say is that I'm so happy I have other stocks and my livelihood is not tied to TKO. That was pathetic!!
Another negative day for TKO almost complete. Why can't this company give us any solid news with revenues attached or updates on existing relationships? Either those revenues and relationships don't exist or the incompetence at headquarters continues despite the recent additions to the front office. Amazing
Nope...because TKO took all my money...back to even...this company is so depressing!!
Could you afford to supersize it?
BSD
Looks like the we are heading for the inevitable drift down to even for the day. The buyers come out of the woodwork at every single small spike. Maybe they recognize that this company is in shambles, needs money badly, and can't publicize its own activities or embarrassingly low revenue projections for existing contracts.
Check out this post by nthomp over at Yahoo!!!!
http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_%28A_to_Z%29/Stocks_T/threadview?m=tm&bn=23708&tid=...
About time a positive day happens around here...why is it that GE can put out more announcements about its relationship with TKO than TKO can put out about its relationship with GE? How incompetent are the folks at TKO?
MLK is right. Up 11 cents!
BSD
Gip, be careful when looking at commodity prices as an inflation indicator. Globalization over the past decade or more has done quite a bit to change that dynamic. Plus, not all commodities are the same, so it's difficult to generalize, but many commodity prices have been driven by speculative price bubbles, rather than basic supply and demand. Additionally, inflation, in my view, if more of a monetary phenomenon than anything else.
Ouch, awesome news, I hadn't seen this yet. I copied just a section to post, because I don't think this is small potatoes. Here is a small part of the info:
Find a need, fill a need
GE Energy has signed an exclusive agreement with Telkonet, a leading developer of innovative PLC solutions for the commercial market, to develop the Intellix SK100. Telkonet’s iWire System™ has been delivering simple, cost-effective and secure broadband network access in hotels, resorts and other commercial buildings for years.
“We haven’t seen any solutions quite like this for electric utilities,” says Stuart Borlase, GE Energy's marketing program manager for Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED). “By working with Telkonet, we’re bringing a commercially available product to a new market and filling a gap in our industry.”
In demos of Intellix SK100, users report it is an ideal communications solution for the following:
- Adding communications to devices and applications in existing substations or power plants;
- Adding site access control and surveillance;
- Reducing communication costs in new construction; and
- Providing temporary or trial-use installations of equipment
requiring communication capability.
The Intellix SK100’s intelligent platform is capable of supporting multiple applications—such as protection, monitoring, control and data acquisition, with flexibility in the location of communication interfaces. The system supports a wide variety of GE products with Ethernet communications.[/I]
Man, if you can't get excited at least a little bit about this, you need to see a doctor. I realize there are a couple of detractors who have thought this was dead, but look who's coming to dinner!
I have been catching wind of something big coming, but was sitting back and waiting to see. Could this be it? Oh I do believe so. With GE, you have size, name, reputation, international exposure, the whole shooting match. I hope some of you are as excited as I am.. this is a dream coming to fruition.. awesome!
BVChuck,
The only shares up on my board today so far are commodity shares (oil, gold, pharmaceuticals) pushing inflationary concerns once again. The value of the dollar hit an all time low today continuing its lengthy decline... not good if we expect foreign countries to continue to finance our growing national debt (a rate cut now could actually be damaging). GDP is at 2%, exactly where the Fed wants it. None of this signals the need for a rate cut on the 18th IMO. I still think the Fed will hold!
At least TKO's hanging in their.
The S&P 500 hasn't gained 2% yet (needs to breach 1480 for me to become more optimistic). Everything is still on hold.
Gip
This was posted on Yahoo this AM by Major, in regards to (GE), for any who may not have seen it.. I couldn't get the 2nd link to copy correctly, so included only the 1st link...

where is GE? (Not rated) 12-Sep-07 12:35 pm
gutaquest, watch your mouth
and to all the "where is GE?" people out there--go here:
http://images.questex.com/gss/2007/ge_energy/0807GE_Energy_Mgmt_News.html
Read that and then, you too, may join new2 back on the long side. It is time to come back around. GE may be slow and deliberate naming a non issue (wiring is everywhere) as the only issue but in fact they come right out with even more remarkable applications for TKO (alias SK100)-- Texas Tea anyone?
It is a beautiful thing when that damn puzzle you have been working on forever starts to actually look like something and the last pieces seem to fly into place.
Get on it! Nthomp--buy more.

PS: It takes two days max to handle an airport. How many are there? Next stop? Join the army boys! Can this picture get any clearer? I would say more but I am in a hurry.
Down SIX CENTS!!
Does anyone have any clue as to why no TKO PR can have revenues attached...that is the sole reason that TKO always moves lower on a news release.
It appears that these PRs over the last week are intended to tell us that the topics discussed in the June conference call are happening as planned. Although dollars are not being discussed, at least in today's PR, the number of locations is on par with what was discussed in the conference call. To me, this is effectively saying they are on target, or better in the case of the SSI PR.
Hopefully we will see one regarding airport work for the TSA. I believe that is one of the bigger dollar contracts that they were looking for in the Govt sector. On the key channel partners side, maybe we will see an update on Geeks or GE over the next few weeks.
Without coming out and saying it, I believe these PRs are designed to tell us that TKO is on the mark so far in these areas. I think this is an effective way to do it versus sending out a PR every time they install a location.
The incredible shrinking bid is back!!!
Down two cents. But, I thought this was such great news. Doesn't the market know that? What is wrong? I can't believe it? Then again, news releases without revenue are highly suspicious and met with skepticism. Of course it is going down.
TKO in negative territory.
Must have been great news for the market to give such a resounding response.
TKO beginning to "green up" on Barchart.com. Less than a month ago it was solid red, 100% sell across the board. Take a look now:
http://quotes.barchart.com/texpert.asp?sym=tko
I think it will continue to get greener, especially in the mid/long term areas as the price stabilizes at a higher rate and then grows in price in the next month. It's getting exciting!
Good investing!
Exactly, right. Kickin butt and takin names.
BSD
Wow! We are already over half of yesterday's share total. I think the most recent news is stirring things up. I wish I could see some kind of dollar amount for the gov. contract(s) so I can figure out how loud to yell and how high to jump! All of us patient longs will be rewarded..in the long run.
Good investing!
More great news, MLK, no wonder you think we'll see 2.70 by Halloween!

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.

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. |
