For Telkonet giggles!!
Hacked copy of the ’Telkonet Slayer’s’ prepared resignation letter to colleagues, so his time on this MB may be close to ending..
My resignation letter:
Dear Think Equity Co-Workers,
As many of you probably know, management has terminated my contract. But before I leave, I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know what a great and distinct pleasure it is that this tour of duty is completed.
For nearly as long as I’ve worked here, I’ve looked forward to being finished from this masquerade of deception. And now that this dream has become a reality, please know that I could not have reached this goal without your unending lack of support. Words cannot express my gratitude for the words of gratitude you did not express.
I would certainly like to thank all of my managers: In an age where miscommunication is all too common, you consistently impressed and inspired me with the sheer magnitude of your misinformation. It takes a strong man to admit his mistake – it takes a stronger man to credit his mistake to me.
Over the past couple of months, you have taught me more than I could ever ask for and, in most cases, ever did ask for. I have been fortunate enough to work with some absolutely interchangeable supervisors on a variety of seemingly identical projects – an invaluable lesson in overcoming daily boredom.
Your demands were high and your patience short, but I take great solace knowing that my work was, as stated on my review, “mostly satisfactory.” That is the type of praise that sends a man home happy after even a 10 hour day, smiling his way through half a bottle of mostly satisfactory scotch.
And to most of my colleagues: even though we rarely acknowledged each other within these shop walls, I hope that in the future, should our paths happen to cross, don't take it personally if I fail to acknowledge you.
For those few with whom I’ve actually had any association, here are my individualized acknowlegements:
To Franklin: I will always remember sharing lunch with you, despite having clearly labeled it with my name.
To Stephen: I will miss detecting your flatulence as much as you will clearly miss walking past my cubicle to deliver it.
To Angela: Best wishes on your ongoing efforts to propagate any “email forwards.” I sincerely hope you receive that weekend full of good luck, that hug from an old friend, and that baby for your dusty womb.
And finally, to Molly: you were right – I tested positive. We’ll talk later.
So, in parting, if I could deliver any word of advice to whomever will soon be filling my position, it would be to cherish this experience like a sponge and soak it up like there is no tomorrow, because such a job opportunity only comes along once in a lifetime.
Truthfully: if I had to work here again in this lifetime, I would sooner kill myself. Though I do believe, in my case, all the Telkonet shareholders never knew what hit them. Gosh, I’m so brilliant and I truly believe in my heart, I’m a true genius!
Sincerely,
The Telkonet Slayer
[Disclaimer:] The above is mostly forward looking statements, are true to the best of my knowledge, but canno’t be guaranteed. Personal due diligence is required. This document has been obtained from sources believed reliable.
For the record,
the 'Telkonet Slayer':
doesn't own TKO shares;
never owned TKO shares;
won't ever own TKO shares..
The Shadow Knows!!!
Dusty, I have MLK on ignore and it was the best decision I have ever made this year next to my buying TKO in which I still believe in. You need to understand he really does not care what you or anyone else has to say as he is here only to bash the stock. I believe he is a paid basher. Save your time and put him on ignore like most everyone else has done.
I swear!!
If I didn't know any better I'd swear that the 'Telkonet Slayer' was a tape recorder.. The same things over and over and over, for the past month or so.. Amusing..
The 'Telkonet Slayer' would never be successful as a 'Mime'...
MLK take the time to listen the CC and tell me where he stated $5m for next quarter? Then I will start believing you. IGGY till then
ok folks I finally figured it out...Heres the short data for TKO from buyins.com...A friend here at ihub got the data last monday or tuesday so this is FOB...Dont ask me any questions..this is the first time I have seen this kind of data..

DSD is correct...
$5M has never been discussed by the CEO.
This is a ploy by 'shock n' sell' motivators
that prey on believers/listeners.
$3.2M is in the bag...more is conditionalized
by billing availability and carry through.
This isn't a key-point or relevant discussion
until 2Q results are revealed.
What is important to an investor is growth of
revenues versus costs, plain and simple; announcing
post after post of BS and speculation is announced
only as an aversion or misdeception.
The market will look at Q2 and make a decision
based on those numbers; if upheld based on the
last CC...TKO will, in fact, increase their revenues
considerably (Q over Q) and avail itself towards
profitability, although staved for another Q or two.
Are they advancing in the industry? Are they advancing
in increasing revenues and controlling costs? Are they
the leader in their niche; yet customers are lined up
for their products? What are their customers? Do they
have multi-million-dollar contracts?...
...is this company a viable and on-going concern?
Neb
(ps...please keep the stock price low for a day or two
more...I got more $$$ coming...)
dsd is correct...there is no way this company does $5M in the second quarter this year. Why do they promise such things?
Support at $1.60 is almost gone...watch out below.
Well, as I said a month or two ago, TKO would bottom out between $1.50 and the 52-week low of $1.65. I pretty much nailed it. It wasn't really that hard to predict that we were headed much lower after just looking at the basics involving this company. Gimmicky accounting tactics spinning off subsidiaries, lowering forecasts, part time CEOs, failure to diversify product lines and customers, etc, etc, etc.
My question is why all the argument? Are people really that jealous that I was correct?
Again, the creature continues with the five mil lies. You know, RBT, the creature could have ulterior motives that have nothing to do with short or long. Perhaps IT is a disgruntled former employee.
"Anything less than five mil" would be a disappointment? How can that be when the company forecast 3?
What is the point of asking IT about what IT planned to do re purchasing/stop losses? IT likely doesn't own shares.
BSD
Did you buy more at $1.64 MLK?
I agree, which is why I don't understand TKO floating numbers like $5M...better to say $2M, come in at $3M and actually say things are better than they projected.
When they come in at less than the $5M, it will now be a disappointment.
DISCLAIMER:
Sweatshops are hot. Cha Ching!!
MLK,
Better to under promise and over deliver than to over promise and under deliver!!
I think we might get a nice little surprise before the month is out, the tea leaves are looking better on my cup and handle!!
Disclaimer.
Not currently invested so no vested interest!!
GLL
AT 52 WEEK LOW AGAIN!!!
And, this company thinks its capable of making $5M in the second quarter this year? They have already had to revise guidance lower this year...initially they promised $25M without contributions from Etho or SSI...then those two companies chip in well over $10M and TKO will still only promise $25M. Something is wrong with a company that can lose that much potential revenue over just six months.
Whats your stop loss MLK? I thought you said you were going to sell your position when it broke the 52 week low. You also said you were going to buy more at 1.64. Have your done either of these?
The creature continues with the 5 mil. rant. So full of it that she stinks like rotten garbage.
BSD
Huey,
The 200 chip is required for some of the larger substations and also for some of the EDS stuff as well.
GLL
Anyone interested in seeing the short data from buyins.com...Got a friend who is kind enough to get it for me..
let me know..
I don't I can post here because its in the excel format..Unless one here knows how to post it here...
Hey,
(M)uch (L)ike (K)nobby, we get it, TKO sucks.
52 WEEK LOW AGAIN!!!
Congratulations everyone!!! If TKO were really about to do $5M in the second quarter, I don't think we would be languishing like this. Every day that passes gets worse and worse with this company.
I think it was in the December SH meeting that Ron indicated the Intellon 200 chip was not up to the standards they expected. I wonder if the chip has been reworked, or if TKO has chips coming from someone else now. Hopefully they are working through the inventory they had built up. I think that was one of the prerequisites for moving full bore into the 200.
I don't know that the FIPS process will start on the new chip right away. Ron has said that the current chips will be sufficient for the existing FIPS business, so maybe they will wait until the gov't will pony up for the FIPS costs on a new certification.
Market sings
TKO cries.
What else is new.
Hey, I see TKO is still on the AMEX list of non-compliant companies. Does anyone know if there is a timeframe for how long a company may be noncompliant with the AMEX before they are kicked to the curb?
Found this on Yahoo board re the 200mb chip....now as I understand it, Intellon WAS at one time the one who manufactured the TKO chip...NOT the one who created it...TKO does not have a manufacturing plant of its own...and if I understand correclty, it is GE that is now manufacturing the TKO chip, as well as upgrading it for the substations...so this PR for Intellon is not good for TKO....IF I am wrong, I am sure someone will correct me...ALSO...I am on my way out the door, for the day....and will catch up to the responses later on.
TODAY
Now Shipping in Production Volumes, the New INT6300 Offers Customers Enhanced Performance and Reduced Cost
OCALA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intellon Corporation, a leading provider of HomePlug-compatible integrated circuits (ICs) for home networking, networked entertainment, broadband over powerline (BPL) and smart grid applications, announced today that it has released the INT6300, the world’s first second-generation HomePlug AV powerline communications (PLC) IC. Based on the 200 Mbps-PHY-rate HomePlug AV specification, the INT6300 uses architectural and design improvements to deliver enhanced performance at a lower cost compared to first generation HomePlug AV ICs.
The new architecture and lower process geometry used in the INT6300 reduces the total bill of material cost of Intellon’s HomePlug AV solution, enabling OEMs to reach lower consumer-level price points for the retail and service provider markets. In addition to a lower cost solution, the INT6300 offers a faster processor, reconfigured internal bus structure, faster memory bus and a multi-chip module package that includes both a MAC/PHY transceiver and an analog front-end. The INT6300 also offers simple push-button security for retail product applications, so that a personal computer (PC) is not required to secure a home network. The IC has MII (Ethernet) and PCI host interfaces, and does not require external flash memory for boot-from-host applications.
“With the INT6300, consumer electronics products such as a PC, broadband modem, set-top box, personal video recorder or flat-screen display can share robust high-definition video and audio by simply plugging the product into a convenient electrical outlet,” said Rick Furtney, president of Intellon Corporation. “Intellon is proud to continue its market leadership in powerline communications by being the first company to introduce a second generation IC based on the HomePlug AV specification.”
I'm thinking the same thing to lower my pps.
BSD,
Boom boom to the post I am relying to!!!
GLL
BSD,
Oh yes Sir!!!
GLL
I still don't think TKO will do $5 million this quarter!! No way...any promises to the contrary are doomed for failure
Thank you GLL for your words, I appreciate them.
GLL,
I'm fine, thanks. Hope you and yours are good, too. I think the person to whom you refer DOES know that the company never said 5 million. The person in question has an ulterior motive and is spreading half-truths. I believe this person will then report that the company missed the number, even if that number is over 4 mil. This person will then post a thousand posts to itself about how the company failed to meet the 5 mil number that she/he/it made up out of whole cloth. Is my contempt obvious yet?
BSD
It is truly odd that although I fully remember and
understand what RBT and GLL have completed relative to
their individual "position" on TKO...
...I cannot share that same sentiment with many
others; some wishy-washy over the course of a number
of days/weeks/months; those same posters talk their
BS, but cannot substantiate their previous positions
as they seldom if ever can identify their previous
posts that suppossedly discussed their "I was right"
post.
As I have been posting on RB for a number of years,
and now here, it is not odd to find (still now...)
posters that stretch the fabric of truth; no accountability
on anonomous boards such as these secure such ridiculous
posts under hidden identities, negative attitudes and
ignored accountabilities.
Neb
I already told you I sold a big chunck of my position. Some a few months again some a few weeks ago. What I hold, I will hold until I see 2007 Q4 numbers.
If I see an opportunity to trade around my position, I will do that too.
MLK,
I like lurking, but as I have said before, I will look to re-enter later in the year once Q2 and the new COO are in place, i.e. started working and a month or so under his/her belt, so probably Oct 07 for me on that basis.
GLL
I won't divulge that...I have a faily large position and don't wish to broadcast my decision to leave at a certain price. You just won't see my anymore, which I know would be a relief to many on here as they don't like the truth that I attempt to provide. I won't be a lurker like GLL apparently is.
How about your trader? Are you holding the remainder of your shares for the duration...or is there a point at which you become mad as hell and won't take it anymore?
I am strongly considering it as a trade. Watch it go up and down while others make money is my sort of game. 8-')
COLORMIXER: I have a limit order in for several more shares and thankful that I can afford the risk, because to me, it is very low.
What is your exit point? It already is through the 52 week low...
Nope...there is a message out there somewhere last week, if it wasn't deleted, that said I was pulling that order. I just think it is too risky at this point. And, each day we are getting closer and closer to my exit point. No other stock I own requires my attention like this one. I'm ashamed that I ever bought it.
Did you buy more at 1.64 like you said would ML?
Hardly...you said the "search" won't start until August...now the search is over? You can't keep things straight can you?
BSD,
I know, that`s why I said I didn`t believe the $5 million being banded about. It`s obvious MLK believes it though!!
Hope you`re well?
GLL
MLK,
You do twist things!!
Let`s say the new COO was sorted by this Friday for arguement sake, so that`s the 20th July 2007. Depending on whether they have a 1 or a 3 month notice period, earliest would be 20th August, possibly 30th October 2007. Please read my posts fully Sir before responding and work things out first!!
p.s.
How`s your average price going?
GLL
Pickett never promised 5 mil. Said three mil, possibly 4 mil IF the accounts receivable came in on time. Only message board phonies are saying 5 mil. The company never, ever said 5 mil.

No way TKO does five million in the second quarter...again RP is overpromising and underdelivering. Now GLL is saying that the COO will be announced soon, but just yesterday she said we Americans were on our "holiday season" and nothing would happen on that front until after August. Hmmm. Which is it?
Huge ask orders are popping up at $1.62...not good if news is about to be released, as someone apparently doesn't like the news.
OT..
besides OUCH, does any of you pick up shares of MCCY...I told you guys back when I started scooping at .14 and .15...Current price .29
My only fault is that I only owned almost 90k..
This is my stock pick the rest of the year and in to next year
Pops,
I have heard a rumour that earnings may be announced early to curtail the current downward trend and I also hear rumoured that the new COO is close to being sorted, just needs board approval, so with those two things and hopefully revenues for Q2 being above $4 million, personally I doubt the $5 million being banded about, then it could have a nice effect on the PPS with a bit of luck or at least stop this current downward trend.
Maybe others might like to comment on this if you have heard the same as above through the grapevine?
p.s.
Not currently invested, so no vested interest!!
GLL
Disclaimer:-
I have no affiliation with TKO, it`s employees, management nor its` Public Relations Companies. I invest purely on my own Due Dilligence and/or from my broker and I understand I can make or lose monies on my investments.
I confirm I live in the uk and I am in no way connected to the American Stockmarkets, Nasdaq, Amex e.t.c. and nor am I in any way affilliated to any brokerages either here in the UK or the States. I confirm my line of business here in the uk is not connected to any money markets, stock brokers, normal brokers and all monies I have invested in America are purely mine from savings, property sales and uk property investments. I have recommended several business colleagues and acquaintances to my broker, of which all are not in anyway connected to the financial industries.
LA, I agree that this should be a good time to buy, but I need more of my money in some surer bets. So... I halved my position and hopefully if my new investments do well, I may buy back in and see some good bucks(future tense). In the meantime, the amount I have invested in TKO is a "waitable" amount. I can afford to wait for TKO with the amount I now have invested. I know that some on this board are more heavily invested, but the monies I have invested in stocks are part of my retirement, so I really have to take everything into consideration with my investments. My final judgement is it is worth holding on to TKO, but not at the level I had. I hope it turns around soon, as many on this board are getting more impatient by the day (as they should be), waiting on the "magic" to happen.
Good investing!
This should be a good time to buy after we bounce from $1.60.. I would but my most of my cash are tied up with MCCY..
Just took a look at the targets set for this year...$2.63 per share on Yahoo target...so if you DID buy today, and Telkonet DID have a bunch of orders that will bring in revenue and profit, that WERE followed thru on...why...buying in now would get you a buck a share!
GLL....the 'port' thing re GE is this...GE needs a 5 port chip/plug in order to use the TKO stuff in the substations that are being upgraded for the new grid.--the TKO tech has 1 port, if I understood correctly, and GE has been working to upgrade it to a 5 port...and therein lies the problem---
My guess is this: GE would have been a 2007 story, as we all assumed last year, but because of the port problem, it will now be a 2008 story, starting perhaps, at the end of 2007. I am no tekkie either...but my eyes and my ears get a great workout to make up for it....and that is what I heard.

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. |
