Yes, I know I didn't spell check
MLK - I have no idea what you are elduing to. Rest assured however that if the stock does go down to 1.20. I will be buying! The only way I could really see that happeing is a short term dip if Ron were to come out and say that they will only do 22 Million by the end of the year. 22 Million or 25 Million, either way it still means they would be tracking at a minimum of 15M for the last two quarters. That puts the company on at least a 30 Million annual run rate, a far cry from 2006!
Looks like the market is really excited about the impending news...or maybe you and your source are the only ones that have heard about it.
Heard that a news this week should hit the wire..
If we review the revenue totals for Ql and Q2, and
we believe that Q3 will fall somewhere north of
$5M; as discussed and anticipated...
...I cannot understand how, only a few days after
announcement of Q3 numbers, the stock price would/could
plummet to or around the $1.20 level...
Neb
There is no good reason to be in a hurry that's for sure. $1.20 would be load the boat, the truck and the sink!
I just had a feeling TKO is due for a bad October. Two days and two days down, thusfar. Well, it was more than a feeling...there are reasons behind it. But, I won't divulge those here, as those with opposing viewpoints only wish to criticize me rather than listen to a reasoned valid viewpoint. Anyway, I'm sticking to my guns and saying below $1.20 by November 1st. If you want to buy back in, in my HUMBLE opinion, I would wait until the week of November 5th to see where TKO is trading.
thanks, tom.
BSD
It would be nice if TKO could give us firm guidance that they would definitely hit but they way their business is progressing that is a very difficult thing. When you're dealing with the gov. it is VERY hard to know when orders will hit. You maybe told one thing by one person but reality is that the government is what it is but orders are flowing in.
What we can be confident of is that Q3 is going to be higher than Q2 and Q4 is going to be higher than Q3. Whether they finish the year at 22M, 25M or 28M is not all that signficant. As people are able to see real, tangible revenue growth they will jump on the bandwagon.
The biggest problem with this stock is that we all thought where we are now is where we would have been 2 years ago. Many people are just sitting on the sidelines or on the stock they have waiting to see if it is for real. We got our first validation that things are happening in the Q2 numbers, we will get further validation in Mid-November.
There are a number of very good things happening now. The stock price will follow.
Yep...I tried to warn everyone about October...now that we are here, TKO is moving down sharply in two days of trading. What is amazing is the total lack of buyers out there. Nobody wanted to hear the warnings and left. Some people just don't want the help, I guess.
Sold my shares 9/18 @ 1.64 (for a loss)now waiting out the wash rule. So far so good. I could get 'em back today cheaper. Nothing has ever happened fast with TKO. 10/18 prediction : Back in under $1.50
Sonny,
Telkonet was up 5 cents on Friday, so we can likely absorb the 'good news effect'... LOL
Heard some good news coming next week..stay tuned
I seriously hope all are listening to the news this weekend...
...the demand from a number of "Hotels" that are now focusing
on the need of "broadband" and other related services...
...the kind of services that TKO is spectacular and known to provide.
To be fair, the radio announcements discussed "WI-FI",
yet there are many (Hotels, Motels) that just either,
don't know what to do or what to 'use' yet...(as they said
in the radio discussion).
These are really exciting times to be involved in this
type of product/stock.
Neb
Ouch...although not directed to me...I'd like to respond...
It has always been my position that TKO needs to show
real, recurring and increasing revenue figures, supported
by real, recurring and increasing business.
TKO has now shown, for the first time, that their
Q1 to Q2 revenue figures have nearly tripled; Q3 and
Q4 are all important.
However, in my opinion, reaching a bantered about figure
of $25M will not, within itself, jeopardize TKO from
gaining steam and increasing stock price; nor will the street
recoil and ignore Q over Q bonafide revenue increased values
based solely on them missing a projected revenue figure
thrown out by RP for '07.
The street doesn't work that way, nor has TKO. They are morphing into a real powerhouse, as their purchases of
their two companies earlier this year were, in my opinion,
a real stroke of genius for RP. Not only has he put together
an incredibly formitable company (further evidenced by today's
recent release), but he has completely reorganized TKO
by bringing in new and improved blood, while removing many
of the original starters.
Sooner, not later, the street will turn the page and take notice.
Watch the stock price closely; I suspect it will increase and
increase quickly.
The street works months ahead of a stock, not day-to-day as
many followers of TKO do.
Looking at the big picture often clears the fuzziness and
redirect.
Neb
Wise words from the 'Pops'.. Notify Directv that Telkonet is moving..'up' that is.. RP appears to be carrying a rabbits foot in his pocket...
I stopped reading MLK posts awhile back. He is long? I feel TKO will take at least a quarter or 2 to get going. This just an opinion. Let's hope we blow past $3.00 with next earnings!
I agree its time to make the bullshit walk lets see some
beef come on tko
William,
I would have to totally agree with your reasoning on communication, as you put it very well!! Although until RP has left the 'House of Telkonet', with the past and current communication blackouts, future communication needs will likely follow the same path of quietness..
Yes, to a fishing analogy, 22 mil would be a keeper..
GLTY...
If they can't make that number, they should revise. Tell why they can't, tell us where it is going for the rest of 07 and where it's going in 08, conservatively, so that they might actually deliver on what they promised. I'm not going nowhere. Still like the company, the tech, and where it's heading. But deliver on what you promise, man. If not, own it and move forward. Even at 22 mil that 4x last year. I'm happy with that. But the communication needs to be better.
BSD
Not a problem...you would think such news would move a stock...but, then again, this is TKO. When GE was initially announced, I think TKO went up to or close to $4. Now look where it sits. GE no longer has any affect on this stock. And, you would think TKO, with a GE relationship, would be able to make more than SSI and Ethostream put together. When, in fact, TKO will make more than neither of them. It is a shame that such a promising world-wide technology has turned into a Turkish hotel dream product.
Thanks for the info:
KKC,
no apology needed!! It is Telkonet related and likely will come more into play with time.. Always good to be reminded...
From August 20th...old news...back then I criticized TKO for not doing a better job of keeping its investor informed...they still haven't issued anything on this. INCOMPETENT!!!!!
http://images.questex.com/gss/2007/ge_energy/0807GE_Energy_Mgmt_News.html
Are they the same?
My apology if I posted an old news. But even from TKO web-site, can't find the same news.The news with GE is:
For Immediate Release: February 6, 2007 NEWS RELEASE
Telkonet and GE Energy Develop Integrated Utility
Substation Automation System
Telkonet and GE Energy to Co-Develop a Custom, Private Label Product That Enables Remote
Monitoring and Management of Substation Equipment
Germantown, MD, Telkonet, Inc. (AMEX: TKO), the leader in providing in-building
broadband access over existing electrical wiring, today 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. This integrated
system will revolutionize the way in which a substation’s performance is monitored,
considerably improving efficiency and reliability. 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.
Over the past year, GE Energy conducted extensive laboratory and field testing of the Telkonet
iWire System™ successfully; Telkonet’s system met the rigorous performance and reliability
requirements, as well as the environmental standards for both AC and DC operating
environments, for GE Energy and the utility marketplace.
The Telkonet iWire System leverages the existing electrical wiring inside a substation to enable
high-speed network connectivity, eliminating the need for new wiring or cabling. The data
collected from GE Energy’s monitoring systems can be transmitted remotely to any location via
a broadband Internet connection, enabling utilities to monitor the conditions of the transformers,
reroute power and efficiently manage the energy supply.
GE Energy will demonstrate this customized substation automation product, incorporating the
Telkonet iWire System, at DistribuTECH 2007 in San Diego, CA, the largest energy trade show
in the U.S., February 4 − 7, 2007.
Ron Pickett, President and CEO of Telkonet, commented, “We have been working very hard
with GE Energy over the past year to make sure that this is a success and believe that it will open
up many new opportunities for both companies. This agreement is a key element in Telkonet’s
strategy of delivering solutions to both the supply and demand sector – utilities and building
owners/managers.”
The article talks about " a BPL-enabled smart grid system called Intellix SK 100 . . . "
I can't afford to subscribe the BPL Today. Wonder if anyone read this article.
BSD,
it's not impossible that Telkonet can pull in 25 mil, but IMO likely will come in a bit less.. Are you stating you wouldn't be satisfied with 21 to 24?? Come on William, we are beginning to make Great strides based on past history with TKO...
BPL Today story 9/25/07
Anyone has info about this story? Looks huge for TKO!
http://www.bpltoday.com/
GE Energy and Telkonet quietly teamed up to develop a BPL-enabled smart grid system called Intellix SK 100 ....
LA, hope you are doing alright. I think TKO will go up as I said before. It is good to now that once the price goes down, you guys get company. The only thing I am wondering about is why don't the powers that be ban MLK on this site for taking shots at people(you especially) about unrelated stocks(MCCY for one). I thought it was a low blow and on the wrong site. He is already banned on the other site for a few days, so you think he would mind, but noooo. I wish you well and hope to see you over on IV sometime. Hope the Kings and Coyotes put together some teams this year too!
Good investing!
TKO--the leading technology solutions provider for broadband networking, end-to-end service support and energy management, reports that it has completed the first installation of its Telkonet iWire System(TM) in Turkey, with the system going live at the prestigious Saray Regency Hotel in the popular resort of Antalya. The Telkonet solution was supplied and installed by Telkonet's Turkish VAR, TuncNet, equipping the 5-star 196-room hotel with high-speed Internet access (HSIA) in just 6 hours. Based on Telkonet's innovative powerline communications (PLC) technology, the installation used the hotel's existing electrical wiring to achieve a high performance broadband network with zero disruption to either guests or to the hotel's operation.
The Saray Regency's management was looking for a cost-effective, future-proof broadband platform that would provide an instant solution to its requirement to enhance guest services with HSIA. Dating from 1989, the hotel is built on five stories with additional recreational and restaurant facilities, all sited just 250 meters from the beach.
The Telkonet iWire System was selected after a thorough market evaluation, as sales and marketing manager and front office manager Noyan Kilicturgay explains: "We conducted careful research, including discussions with other hotels about the best options for fast-to-install broadband solutions and an evaluation of the various options. We ruled WiFi out as not providing us with a suitably reliable and cost-effective system, whereas Telkonet's solution matched all our requirements for ease and speed of installation, as well as performance and cost. I made the recommendation and our general manager Yasar Sunal authorized the installation as the best option to fulfill guest expectations and consolidate our market position. The installation process was absolutely painless - TuncNet came in and almost imperceptibly put the system in place. To have HSIA up and running in just 6 hours is a remarkable achievement. We are delighted with the result."
The Saray Regency installation consists of a central Telkonet iWire System and a Telkonet eXtender(TM), with additional couplers located on each floor. The Telkonet iWire System operates by transforming a building's existing electrical wiring into an IP network backbone, enabling each electrical outlet to be used as a broadband access data port via Telkonet iBridge(TM) interface units, which are installed in every guest room. This enabled every room at the Saray Regency to be enabled immediately for Internet access as soon as the system was installed. In addition, Telkonet iBridge units are strategically placed in the hotel's general areas, including the lobby, pool area, conference rooms and restaurants, where they are configured to drive WiFi access points, giving guests convenient access to HSIA wherever they need it.

Oh...what do you know...Some bull Turkey news and the stock moves down. Is it because it lacks any attempt at projecting revenue for the installation. Is it because it's Turkey? I'm all for exploring overseas markets, but this company expanding to Turkey is like saying a company that hopes to take NYC by storm has a huge accomplishment by moving in to Peduchaville, Kentucky.
Wow, I was right. I swear TKO does these installations for free so they can put out a PR. Is it that hard to release how much they get paid for one of these things? Everything has a price.
Gobble Gobble
I agree...Ouch already trying to prepare for the fact that TKO will probably not make 25M. Funny. And, the only way they even come close to $25M is on the backs of Etho and SSI...otherwise, they would probably only be coming in with about $5 to $10. Not good.
Today they announce a Turkish installation. I haven't even read it, but I can guarantee there are zero dollar figures in it. I'll go read it now and will never post here again, if I'm wrong. See you in a few.
I am with you BSD...TKO need to show us not only potato this Q but I want meat to go with it..
My 401k is unpleasant to look at but I still believe that the goodies is just ahead of us..
Good to see you back here William :)
they said 25. it'd better be 25.
BSD
Wadda ya say, let's throw some figures up..
Telkonet's 1st qtr 10Q reports revenue of 1.2 mil..
Telkonet's 2nd qtr 10Q reports revenue of 3.7 mil..
I stated recently an expectation of 5/6 mil, but I think Telkonet will report revenue of (6 mil) or more for qtr 3.. Neb is in the same camp with (5 mil) or more expectations for TKO.. So 5 plus 6 mil gives us an 11 mil revenue total thru 9 months.. Of course if TKO reports more that will be better news and increase that total..
So then, what will qtr 4 revenue bring into the Telkonet coffers?? Reverting back to the close to 25 million brought out, by I think the past CC for year 2007, close to 14 mil would bring us to that level..
Is that revenue possible for the 4th qtr?? That might be a bit of a stretch, but if Telkonet is organizing their ducks, as we believe they are, then bigger and better times are steaming toward us .. Let's speculate that Telkonet does 10 or 11 mil for the 4th qtr.. That's 21 or 22 million for year 2007.. Not too shabby folks and not too far from that 25 mil, some were laughing at!! It will also present some fabulous qtr over qtr gains..
Let the good times roll my friends.. The fat lady sings last!!!
Walrus...
I appreciate your input.
Thank you.
Neb
Remember...my point/post starts out...
"If TKO is north of $5M..."...etc. etc....
As always, it is up to TKO to perform and execute.
However, they sure look the part and they certainly
don't lack well thought out company reorganization
and dramatically new staffing at many levels; the
senior management is very impressive.
Without these recent changes, I know I wouldn't
be supporting this company. With it, they transform
into a going concern that is taking intelligent and
intelligible modifications that will serve them well
into the future.
BTW...I fully expect TKO to report north of $5M
for Q3; I think it is fair to say...they do too!
One other note...anyone getting the idea that as they
continue to morph...their main business of last year is
not necessarily their center stage product today, but
is a very valuable asset and product nonetheless...
both seperate and in concert with their other products
and services.
Clearly their choice of products just flat out, compliment
each other.
Neb
Good take overall as long as tko gets in the black and
keeps making progress. I'm also a tko long but Q3 hopefully
will keep me positive wich hasn't been easy since forever.
Very optimistic post re TKO Neb..Where you've been all along?? This board need someone like you..
gosh.....your excitement is based on....what? I am all for TKO moving up, myself...but where did you find publcly announced that which will back up some of these things? I would like to share them with folks....and I would even give you the credits...
If TKO is north of $5M for Q3...raising
eyebrows on the street and expectations of
even greater totals (projections) for Q4...(we all are expecting Q3 and Q4 to be above what the analysts are suggesting--but what are you suggesting for Q4? and what are you basing that on?)
...define and redefine products and marketing
entry points...(no comprende')
...continue their stellar track record of
signing and executing contract agreements
across their product plate...( what other than EDS, GE, Geeks, what SSI and Ethostream has already been accomplished, the airports, and GE, and Puerto Rico...what else might you be referring to? and where can I read about it?)
SOMEbody, I think it was Walt, that said he was going to rely on what TKO puts out in their PR's...so revenue for Q3 and Q4 is still up in the air, if one follows that logic--but I am aware that we are all expecting much more than we have been told publicly..unless I missed something when my family was experiencing turbulence....but I am curious as to your reasoning.
If TKO is north of $5M for Q3...raising
eyebrows on the street and expectations of
even greater totals (projections) for Q4...
...continue to make solid and understandable
organizational and staff moves...
...define and redefine products and marketing
entry points...
...continue their stellar track record of
signing and executing contract agreements
across their product plate...
...plus other incremental parts and processes...
...there is absolutely nothing that will stop
the company with the 'cusp of profitablity' crowd
that permeates the street from one side to the
other.
There will be a volume day that many a TKO long have
awaited for this stock over the last many years; what
corolates and follows, will baffle and temporarily
silence this board.
With my investment of TKO...I not only suggest this
potential action, but expect it!
It just isn't higher math...it all starts and stops
with a solid/growing "revenue" stream; Q over Q...
the rest is adjustable and manageable...
...kinda like where TKO finds itself over the last
couple of months...and is finding itself currently.
Neb
Dusty7,
MLK's predicted pps for Telkonet is $2.70 by end of October.. Your mention of $3.00 by year end may very well be conservative then, for TKO..
GLTA
Well said Neb!!
One thing for sure.. Not only in Telkonet's case but no retirement is any better than a 'Corporate' officer retirement...
August 8th...
"We have now combined all operations as a result of the recent acquisitions and will be experiencing a net operational cost savings of approximately $1,000,000/year by year-end," said Ron Pickett, president and CEO of Telkonet. These organizational changes are also designed to facilitate the company's growth plans. Having worked closely with Jason for the past year, he has proven to be an exceptional business leader and a strategic planner, coupled with strong technical expertise. He has excelled by developing, from the ground up, one of the largest hospitality networks in the US with unparalleled, end-to-end customer support. With Jason's drive, expertise and dedication to quality, Jason is highly qualified to drive our sales and take the company to the next level."
One other point...
Bob Crabb, Marketing, left sometime ago; July 27th.
I would suspect that Tienor's appointment, announced
on August 8th publicly had everything to do with it.
JMO...
Neb
In fact, it is often essential in any going/growing
concern, in order the Company to take its next step
in it's ultimate evolution.
Someone convinced RP that the entire organization
needed to be overhauled in order to enhance it's
products and services.
Kudos to RP for allowing the changes to take place,
both organizationally as well as sweeping changes
in top management; many never allow the change to
take place.
I am very happy to see TKO make these essential
adjustments; both these root grown officers took
TKO as far as they could and now it's time for others
to take it that much further.
You can bet they will be taken very good care
of; financially, as well they should.
Neb
No disrespect for the retiring Telkonet leaders but new blood can only be a positive for the directions of TKO to achieve their objectives...
Spot on MLK. I really thought the pps would double with the formation of the new board. My head is spinning.
Telkonet Advances with Integrated Strategy...
Tuesday September 25, 9:00 am ET
Recent appointments demonstrate new driving force, plus notification of two management retirements
GERMANTOWN, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Telkonet, Inc. (AMEX: TKO - News), the leading technology solutions provider for broadband networking, end-to-end service support and energy management, has entered a new phase in its corporate evolution, following a successful program of business consolidation and senior management restructuring, triggered by recent notification of executive retirements and acquisitions.

Telkonet is now ideally positioned to maintain revenue growth and extend its leadership position within the hospitality, government and energy management sectors. Ron Pickett continued, "The recent strengthening of our management team, with the appointment of Jason Tienor as chief operating officer and Dottie Cleal as executive vice president, has provided an important new energy and drive. We recently reported strong revenue growth for Q2, and anticipate maintaining this trend through the fourth quarter. We are achieving our aggressive targets for cost consolidation, following the successful integration of the recently acquired Smart Systems, Inc. and EthoStream businesses. By identifying and leveraging the clear synergies that exist, we have succeeded in creating a more streamlined and efficient organization. The market reaction to a fully integrated proposition across our broadband networking and energy management solutions is also positive, particularly within the hospitality sector."

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. |
