Nthomp...the aid you have apparently received has never been kool. If you had listened to MLK, you would have a lot more money.
Money, money, money...as ABBA would say....how much money, money, money will TKO see?
How many contracts have they announced like this in the past? Several? Is TKO cash flow positive. Nope.

Telkonet Keeps Motel 6 Ahead With Its Energy Management Initiatives
Motel 6 implements new four year energy management maintenance agreement for Telkonet SmartEnergy
GERMANTOWN, Md., Oct 17, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Telkonet, Inc. (TKO:telkonet inc com

Last: 1.500.000.00%
3:58pm 10/17/2007
TKO 1.50, 0.00, 0.0%) , the leading technology solutions provider for broadband networking, end-to-end service support and energy management, today announced that Motel 6 has signed a four year energy maintenance agreement for Telkonet SmartEnergy across thirty-nine Motel 6 properties in North America. The management agreement initially involves 4,700-plus rooms and over 10,000 rooms when fully implemented. This latest contract underlines Motel 6's long-standing commitment to green initiatives, having implemented this in-room energy management system technology beginning in 2002 to reduce energy usage in unoccupied rooms. A key element of the maintenance agreement involves Telkonet conducting preventative maintenance and regular updates on its occupancy sensors, packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) controllers and smart thermostats to ensure optimum system efficiency and performance, while helping Motel 6 to achieve a fast return on investment.
Motel 6 holds a recognized leadership role for green energy management practices, receiving Energy Star Leader status from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2006 for improving energy efficiency.
Dan Gilligan, vice president of utilities for Motel 6 parent company, Accor North America, commented, "We have long realized the benefits of implementing energy efficiency programs, both from a financial and guest impact. Our number one priority is to enhance the guest experience and optimize guest comfort. With Telkonet's in-room energy management products, we are significantly reducing energy usage and extending our HAVC equipment life, while allowing guests to control the temperature while they are in their rooms. By augmenting this approach with an ongoing maintenance program, handled for us directly by Telkonet, we believe that we are maximizing our investment for the longer term. We are totally committed to this approach - it is socially and environmentally responsible and recognizes the value to our business as well as to our customers."
The installation of Telkonet SmartEnergy typically reduces heating and cooling related energy consumption by approximately 30%. The patented Telkonet SmartEnergy system incorporates a packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) controller or smart thermostat which communicates with an unobtrusive occupancy sensor to monitor and adjust to conditions, such as changing weather, room temperature and HVAC efficiency. The system automatically tracks room occupancy to optimize temperature settings for room-by-room savings by relaxing the temperature when a room is empty and then recovering to guests' temperature set-points within a pre-defined number of minutes upon their return. This automated process of relaxing the HVAC unit in an unoccupied area is especially beneficial for hotels and motels to realize maximum energy savings. Telkonet SmartEnergy thermostats include programmable parameters that allow guests to adjust room temperatures within a range dictated by hotel management.

TKO gained a penney today.
If I'm not mistaken, SSI and Etho profits fall directly to TKO's bottom line. MSHI will eventually benefit TKO, as was planned in their roll out.
Will MLK's carved out pumpkin reflect a smile face or a dejected appearance on the 'trick or treat' eve?
Booo!!
Looks like TKO may take a breather from its daily slide. Only problem is, that it appears only to be a one rung ladder. And, then a long chute opens up and TKO falls five or six rungs on the ladder over the rest of the week.
Earnings will be coming in the first few weeks of November, but until then, I think the slide continues. Remember, the biggest thing hurting this company is uncertainty and the inability to meet past promises. TKO's core business has never made any money...NEVER. The only way this company even thinks about turning a profit anytime in the near future is on the backs of SSI, Etho, and apparently MSHI.
It is truly sad that TKO jettisoned MSHI, and they have seemed to outperform TKO in every manner since.
TKO's tech was magical at one point, but it now seems to have fizzled. Just a few sparks left and with each passing day those are fading.
I'm feeling more and more confortable with my prediction of below $1.20 by November 1st...at least much more comfortable than those prediction upper $2s by that point. I would say the trend in analyzing each prediction is clear. Wonder if I'll get an apology?
Reason why MSTI has been running..This is good for TKO :)
Take a look at this: http://www.forbes.com/lists/2007/54/richlist07_Richard-LeFrak-family_NK89.html
Richard LeFrak is now the 117th richest American with a net worth of $3 billion.
It says in his Forbes 500 profile: "Grandfather Harry started developing New York City real estate 1901. Father, Sam, became paragon of mass-market home building: "I produced an apartment every 16 minutes." Richard studied at Amherst College, joined family business early 1970s; became chairman after dad died in 2003. Now runs company with 2 sons, Harrison and Jamie. Portfolio includes 5,000 apartments at LeFrak City in Queens, N.Y., 7-million-square-foot-commercial, residential, retail complex in Newport, N.J. Expanding Newport project; $10 billion "mini-city" will soon include a new office tower, 429-room Westin hotel and 4,500 more apartments and condos. On board of the American Museum of Natural History."
MSHI is providing "Quadruple Play" services to all of his apartments in Newport, Jersey City, NJ! See for yourself here: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/070723/nym021.html
Not only will MSHI be providing services to all of the Newport apartments, but MSHI will be given access to LeFrak's entire portfolio of properties!
Jamie LeFrak, Managing Director of the LeFrak Organization, was quoted as saying... "We're very pleased to have entered into this agreement with Microwave Satellite Technologies. It allows us to offer state-of-the-art services to our Newport tenants. We also anticipate working with them to identify other opportunities to extend their services throughout the LeFrak portfolio."
LeFrak owns over 70,000 apartments across the country!
Coincidentally, Richard LeFrak is tied on the Forbes 500 list with Donald Trump, who also has a net worth of $3 billion!
Donald Trump is now using MSHI's services at all of his most famous NYC properties including Trump Tower, Trump World Tower, Trump International Hotel and Tower, Trump Palace, Trump Parc, Trump Parc East, and now Trump Tower - Center City in White Plains!
Here is Donald Trump's profile on the Forbes 500 list: http://www.forbes.com/lists/2007/54/richlist07_Donald-Trump_U5WX.html

Well, MLK, your call seems to have been right, to date. You earlier said that you would get in around 1.20 as I recall. If so, what is your sell target after that?
Is that a bad thing?...
MSHI up...TKO owns 63% of MSHI stock...
...seems to continue working for MSHI...
...and TKO...
Worth lots of $$$...
Neb
MLK,
Have you been watching TKO's subsidiaries (MSHI) for the past two weeks?? it would've been killer to get in at the .40s..
Are you for real? Siriusly!
TKO down 2cents today. Only reason TKO goes down much more, is if the 3-qtr eps is not accepted and if so, would only be temporary.
Make sure you get your pumpkin home by midnight or that bump in the night will be AAA calling!
Boo -- Hooo!!
The way things are going, the $1.30s are inevitable next week. A low of $1.42 today, pretty much puts us half-way to the target I set when we were near $1.70. As I said all along, October would be bad. And, the worst part of October for TKO has yet to materialize. Halloween approaches fast...beware of what goes bump in the night.
BOOO!!!
I have been saying that for 6 months. At least now I have some company
With the crowd that normally posts in the I-Hub board, you are the second smartest one...but, please, listen to the smartest one...it isn't a high threshold.
I predicted I could get back in under $1.50 in 30 days. I'm getting good at this too. Now where is my gold star MLK?
Wow...the DAQ took a big turn for the worse this afternoon.
Well, it looks like a finish in the $1.40s today for our ole TKO. Meaning the $1.30s aren't too far behind...that could never come as early as tomorrow...could it?
And, once the $1.30s are here, we are just a sneeze away from my prediction. Then, ouch, sirius, walrus, pops, and all my old friends will come back to I-hub and apologize to Nostradamus. I see something else in their future...yes, it is getting clearer...hold on...
SO far "soon" has been a real long time
SEC's Short Sale Delivery Requirements - the Regulatory Notice
It is a PDF document and can be found at:
http://www.finra.org/web/groups/rules_regs/documents/notice_to_members/p037023.pdf
It's hard to boil it down to far but essentially it eliminates grandfathering(read the article) and gives specific time periods for settlements of "fail to deliver." This could be the nightmare MLK is talking about. Maybe it will cause TKO to rise to $2.60 by the end of October as I predicted earlier. SEC will need to grow a backbone however, and start pursuing the firms that are naked shorting. Time will tell!
Good investing!
I own this for the takeout premium. I feel they get bought out soon for at least $5 per share. Maybe GE or EDS.
I don't know...the whole reason I got in bad with the crowd is because I called BS when people like Walrus, GLL, Pizz, et al were clamoring for $30, $40, $50, $75 a share. The reason for my uncertaintly and utter disdain for those cheerleaders is the complete inability to project anything for this company past the next few months.
If they were to ever actually see some revenue from one of the big customers, GE, Navy, Homeland Security, etc, then perhaps my opinion would change. But, for the immediate future, my opinion is that it is going lower. And, the reason I chose November 1st is that is right before earnings. That is a huge question mark for this company. Can they meet projected earnings? Can some of those earnings come from TKO, rather than SSI or Etho? That remains to be seen. As you said, it has been years and years and TKO still makes nothing. I'm talking TKO, not SSI or Etho.
So, absent a complete reversal from TKO's core business next earnings report, I'm not too excited yet.
I sold at $1.64 but the question is when will they achieve enough to turn this back the other way. Everything has always taken LOTS of time. My biggest mistake was not being patient to get in and not being quick to get out. I sipped the Koolaid and it clouded my actions. This is a good story and hey I like to have faith in what should be a winner but the dreamers just push the time line way too fast. It has spent 2 years going down and will take the same to go back to $4-5 . (PissRod the clown was calling $50 LOLOLOLOLO)If you could be sure of that 4 or 5 bucks, anyone would take that deal. If I had a bunch and willing to hold long I would be averaging down. Lots of people holding shares at 4 bucks from way back they better buy more when it bottoms. Do you think it is just bad now( like Ron's hair) or do you think someday it will be good and go up?
atleast 170K depending how many I get..not worried here at all..yes, its pink but this one is an exception..
20K more...how many shares will you have then? Probably much more than me. Pinks make me a little nervous still.
Gum on the shoe works for me....because at least then it'll be a constant reminder to them that I was right. Down to the mid $1.40s today at least it looks like. I told everybody October would be bad. I just try to help, but was ignored and ridiculed. I never attacked anyone, as I was so viciously attacked for simply having an opinion. Because I was right, they all took their balls and went to another board. Siriusly, that has got to hurt....ouch.
I wonder how many times in the past few days one of them has thought, "Hmmm...maybe MLK was right after all? That is one smart cookie."
Everyone is welcome. Shredin, do you have a price target to buy back in when your 30 day wash window expires?
Just to remind everyone still hanging on my ever last word, as that crowd will be getting bigger and bigger every day I have a feeling:
I predict below $1.20 by November 1st.
MLK I am fine and thanks for asking..yes still holding all my shares and plan to add another over 20K hopefully tomorrow or friday depending when my funds gets cleared..
LOL, I think the only "street cred" you'll get around here is the gum stuck to your shoe. Sorry dude! I need to check and see if my 30 days is up yet.
Sonny...how are things going...believe me yet about TKO in the $1.20s? Still holding MCCY? I sold some when it went to .20...still have some. Will buy more if it goes back down to by .115 figure.
TKO is in shambles.
Down to $1.40's like I said yesterday...are there still doubters? Shredin, it is looking good...I think the $1.20s are on the way soon. Where is the love for MLK?
Nthomp...how about giving me a shout out and some street cred on that Yahoo board of yours?
The conspiracy theorists apparently are trying to explain away again why TKO is down...the latest rumor on Yahoo has something to do with an unscrupulous broker house. But, and this is where they lose me all the time, if there are shares to sell at the mid $1.50's and enough people to buy all those shares, TKO wouldn't be sitting in the mid $1.50's. Simple as that.
Here it comes...moving lower. My price target for the end of this month is definitely within range. Could definitely see $1.40s this week. I think the smart thing to do is to wait out the inevitable sellers this month and buy in below $1.20 sometime after 11/01.
It looks like the news has had zero impact on the pps, as usual. In fact, most likely will end up going down by the end of the day. Every week we seem to be getting closer and closer to that prediction I made of under $1.20 by November 1st.
Sonny...thanks for the news...just wondering, in looking at the PR, can anyone tell me how much TKO is making from the deal? I can't quite see it.
Or, maybe TKO is doing it for free, so they can release a PR.

Ha-ha-ha, I like the humor. Sounds like the subject in question is taking advantage and is unfortunate.
Thanks for the public response and private responses also!
Yes - called MLK. Despite the multiple requests, the antibiotic would not be administered. Therefore, the old visitors to this board have reconvened elsewhere.
What in blazes happened, this MB catch a virus??
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.

Telkonet’s PLC solutions are marketed and sold by resellers throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Latin America.
The Telkonet iWire System™ delivers wired and wireless broadband network access that is simple and cost-effective to deploy, with secure and reliable connectivity at every electrical outlet.

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…”

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.
