Yea, it fell 13% at the open the next day. They confirmed the sell when it was too late to do any thing about it. I have learned a little about chart reading from fooling around on their site but unless a stock trends for a good while their "alerts" don't help much. At least today is looking better.
Murphy update:
Telkonet (TKO) introduced a major new upgrade, the Series 5 Broadband-over-Power-Line box that handles data at 200 megabits per second instead of 14 megabits per second. That means it can handle streaming video, as in video surveillance cameras. The box has numerous new interfaces for various industrial standards, better security and runs on AC or DC power. Telkonet is targeting five huge markets:
* Government, initially upgrading current installations under the EDS contract;
* Retail, where one network box can control digital signage, point-of-sale functions, energy management, building automation, digital security and network connectivity;
* Security, where all the new applications, like universities, face huge bills for pulling cable capable of carrying signals from remote cameras;
* Hospitality, where TKO's 2,300 customer installations would love to add surveillance, video conference services and Internet Protocol TV;
* Energy management, working with utilities to lower their customer's energy usage. TKO just won a $3.8 million energy management contract for InTown Suites.
This is the second shoe to drop in the revitalization of TKO, with the first being the appointment of the new CEO. I'm sure these products were under development before he arrived, but the great thing about having a successful entrepreneur running this company full-time is that he will turn the technology into dollars. I am keeping TKO as a Top Buy, keeping what must seem like a ridiculously high buy limit of $5, and my even higher $15 target. Those numbers can be achieved with the new management and the new products.

Daily Commentary
Our system posted a WAIT today. The previous SELL recommendation was issued on 01.16.2008 (1) day ago, when the stock price was 0.9599. Since then TKO has fallen -13.53% .
Our WAIT tag says all that is to say. Stay at cash or check the other stocks while waiting the next signal. Do not bother with buying or short selling this stock as long as the WAIT tag stays.
Well that didn't last long. Sell confirmed yesterday after it fell to .95 You could not make money following their advice. The buy call was at .76 but they "confirmed the buy at the end of the day after the stock recovered to .85. Now they call a sell after yesterday's close but you couldn't get out today even for .85 To make a good trade you had to have the balls (and be watching )when it spiked into the .70's and then be smart enought to pull the trigger when it went over a dollar and then faded. AM Bull will mark up a sucessful trade but really it was Bull S! TKO is like the new Domino's Pizza commercial. Girl orders pizza and says "we have 30 minutes, what should we do?" Guy says "I have an idea"(sex) Girl says Ok what do we do with the other 28 minutes? LOLOL The fun doesn't last long here at tko either.......
No , I have had to get out the door so quick the last 2 mornings I forgot all about it. Would you mind forwarding that to my work e-mail I gave you. I can't look at that account from here. Thanks Shred
Looking good. I plan to hold this long term.
AM BULL went to a buy rating on the 10th and continues to maintain holding that position for now. Todays action looks to bolster that opinion.
OT--Shred, did you get a chance to call Larry up from ViziTrade?
Man I might get back to Break Even if this keep moving up. COME ON TKO you POS! I'm glad they waited till Ron was gone to PR these last few developements.
Telkonet Unlocks Powerline Performance with Next-Generation 200Mbps Solution Launch
Provides new level of powerline sophistication and flexibility, dynamically enhancing PLC's suitability for commercial and industrial applications
Last update: 9:00 a.m. EST Jan. 15, 2008
GERMANTOWN, Md., Jan 15, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Telkonet, Inc.
TKO 1.04, +0.08, +8.3%) , the leading technology solutions provider for broadband networking, end-to-end service support and energy management, today announces its next-generation 200Mbps Telkonet Series 5 powerline communications (PLC) system, addressing the exacting broadband networking demands of the utility, commercial, education, Government and hospitality markets. Setting unprecedented performance levels for security, speed, QoS and capacity, the new Telkonet Series 5 system combines the company's proven powerline technology with Intellon's powerful 200Mbps chip. Telkonet Series 5 takes PLC to a new level, as a viable option for high performance, critical applications, including digital video surveillance, implementations in the utility substation environment, and harsh outdoor commercial installations.
The result of extensive market research and development, Telkonet Series 5 delivers a range of significant performance advances, taking PLC beyond the traditional residential environment and putting Telkonet at the forefront of currently available technology. These include:
-- Substantially improved security features, incorporating hardware-based 128-bit AES encryption that meets stringent commercial requirements and provides industrial users with a highly secure remote management solution;
-- The incorporation of additional optional physical access ports, including both RS232 and RS485, enables a wide range of different devices to be networked, such as, non Ethernet-enabled monitoring and metering devices used in electric utility substations;
-- Optional support for both DC and AC applications, as well as the option to withstand extended temperature ranges, making Telkonet Series 5 ideal for monitoring and control applications in tough industrial environments;
-- Enhanced Quality of Service (QoS), handling up to 8 different communication channels, such as high-speed data, Voice over IP (VoIP), video-on-demand and surveillance, with rate-limited bandwidth management per user.
Telkonet Series 5, with its enhanced capabilities, provides a versatile, high-level PLC solution for many new applications. Airports, schools and military installations can all benefit from Telkonet Series 5's digital video surveillance capabilities, with its significantly enhanced bandwidth, in the quest for public safety and heightened security. The rising tide of environmental awareness and energy conservation is another area that can successfully employ PLC, with Telkonet Series 5 providing the platform for integrated, efficient energy management.
"Telkonet Series 5 represents a major breakthrough in PLC networking technology, meeting the increased versatility, management, bandwidth and security needed to support the demanding applications of the industrial and commercial markets," as Telkonet's president and CEO Jason Tienor, explains. "Telkonet Series 5 does something genuinely different - it puts PLC on a completely new level as a next-generation solution that comprehensively addresses the needs of the wider commercial environment."
Rick Furtney, president and COO of Intellon Corporation, noted the successful working relationship between the two companies, commenting, "We have been very pleased to work with Telkonet and believe that the outcome of this work positions us to better address a much wider, more critical range of applications beyond the traditional SOHO market for PLC. We are excited that Telkonet selected our technology for this important new product."
This first release of Telkonet Series 5 also provides an optional Zigbee adaptor for the initial integration of the Telkonet SmartEnergy (TSE) advanced energy management system. This will provide a single solution that combines comprehensive Ethernet connectivity with wireless-based monitoring and management tools. Telkonet Series 5 enables this advance as a single solution for video surveillance applications, industrial controls, in-building wireless and energy management.
In summary, Telkonet Series 5 is an effective communications solution for:
-- In-building networks where there are issues with wired and wireless solutions (thick/dense structural walls, asbestos, historic buildings or where security issues prevent the use of wireless);
-- Installations requiring rapidly deployed communication or surveillance capability, for schools, airports, crisis control centers, disaster relief etc.;
-- Implementations that involve adding communications to existing devices and applications in substations, power plants, or other industrial sites;
-- Scenarios requiring the addition of site-access control and surveillance;
-- Secure, physically diverse in-building networks;
-- New constructions with a requirement for reduced infrastructure costs.
Telkonet Series 5 transforms a site's existing internal electrical infrastructure into an IP network backbone, without installing new cabling. It combines the traditional PLC benefits of fast, easy and non-disruptive installation, typically in hours or days rather than weeks. It provides complete flexibility in locating communication interfaces and supports connectivity to any Ethernet or serial device or application, across data, voice and video. It incorporates Telkonet's comprehensive built-in network management, without the need for drivers or additional software, enabling the remote monitoring and troubleshooting of communications networks.

Nice little rally today. Wish there was more volume behind it.
Starting '08 in the green. WIll it last? Hang in there you POS!Looks like buying that big dip Monday morning is paying off for somebody.
Yes it hurts. I still fell that we go much higher in January. End of tax loss selling and news to come.
Look again, it's lower. Nothing like making a new 52 week low the last trading day of the year.
I think Murphy has been just as frustrated as the rest of us with the wasted potential of TKO over the last 2+ years. Reminds me of the golfer John Daly. Great potential but too many demons.
Yes $5 . He has had this for a wile but I think 2008 is the year we get good movement.
I haven't posted on this MB since 9/30 and the 'fiasco' ended between posters and the Ihub Admin..
Murphy has been touting Telkonet for at least 2 years or more with the same "buy up to $5 for target of $15" and the pps has gone from somewhere around $5-6 to the current 87 cent level during that time..
Granted, Telkonet has been ramrodded by RPickett and the Musser round-table through this duration.. In all fairness, time will tell if Tienor and team can right this fiasco of ineptness from the prior regime..
If Pickett still has 'behind the curtain' control, Telkonet will likely continue it's decline, IMO.. The excessive salaries and bonus payments for lack of production and part-time work must be terminated.. When Wall Street is able to trust and believe in the Telkonet story, only then with transparency will the market begin to place a fair pps level.. The clock is running..
Good Luck to Jason Tienor, if you are the true CEO...
Mickey~thanks for posting that bit of optimism from Murphy...
curious, perhaps you can help a newbee understand this comment;
changed CEOs, and now we will see what this technology can really do. The new 32-year-old CEO is a successful entrepreneur and a hard-driving manager, and the troops have to be thrilled that they are once again a real contender
What did the former CEO do that limited this *technology*?
A "real contender" rallying the troops? hmmmm, Murphy, I think, must be an acquired taste.
I would prefer Murphy to take apart the business model and substantiate by explaining WHY he believes; "Buy TKO up to $5 for my stubbornly unchanged $15 target
I mean, the government is not well known IMO for win/win programs ("I expect world-class results from TKO in 2008, including major new government program wins for their Broadband over Power Line technology")
Does anyone here know what TKO has/is doing re *in the pipeline* to the Government?
I expected a little better reaction to the PR re "Wins $3.8 Million Energy Management Contract with InTown Suites -Dec. 21, 2007. In view of the share price retracing since, how can ANYONE suggest buying a $.87 stock "up to $5 with a stubbornly unchanged $15 target" ...seems Murphy is really reaching here IMO with the current *knowns* and the market's reaction to positive news, no?
Does anyone here think the IP alone justifies Murphy's target?
TIA
best!

Telkonet Wins $3.8 Million Energy Management Contract with InTown Suites
10:15a ET December 21, 2007 (Business Wire)
Telkonet, Inc. (AMEX:TKO), the leading technology solutions provider for broadband networking, end-to-end service support and energy management, announces that it has been awarded a $3.8 million dollar contract by InTown Suites for the intelligent Telkonet SmartEnergy(TM) (TSE) energy management system. Under the contract, Telkonet will install TSE products in one hundred and twenty-five InTown Suites locations across the US, as an integral component in the organization's ongoing commitment to achieving increased energy efficiencies at their properties. Commencing in January 2008, Telkonet will begin an aggressive implementation of the scheduled installations to ensure completion of this initiative within a six-month timeframe.
Telkonet was selected after exhaustive trial property implementations, involving comprehensive testing and competitor analysis. TSE consistently delivered the best performance, with TSE's patented Recovery Time(TM) (RT) technology representing a clear differentiator, as a spokesperson from InTown Suites explains, "Telkonet has demonstrated its commitment to InTown Suites throughout the pilot program and has successfully delivered a product that will help us realize substantial energy efficiencies and cost savings as a part of our overall energy management initiative. TSE's design flexibility was a further factor in the contract award, with its existing capability to operate with the cross-section of packaged terminal air conditioners (PTAC) already installed in InTown Suites' locations."
Telkonet's Executive Vice President of Energy Management, Jeff Sobieski, highlighted the strategic thinking about TSE, explaining, "We are seeing a substantial increase in the number of green initiatives in the extended-stay marketplace, and the emphasis is very much on achieving increased ROI due to rising energy costs. With TSE, we have evolved an exciting technology that has unlocked a powerful new cost-saving avenue for extended-stay facilities, with a substantial impact on the bottom line. We are committed to Recovery Time technology and the continued enhancement of our TSE product line for the extended-stay market as well as expanding into new verticals."
An advanced energy management system, TSE provides an economic, green approach to controlling HVAC usage and improving energy efficiency. TSE delivers a rapid return on investment, typically achieving savings around 30%. The system uses a combination of occupancy sensors, along with intelligent programmable thermostats or PTAC controllers, to adjust and maintain a room's temperature according to occupancy, eliminating wasteful heating and cooling of unoccupied rooms. This savings is accomplished without compromise to occupant comfort, with our RT technology breaking new ground compared with typical fixed-setback systems. With these systems, the setback temperature is often set to one fixed amount in all rooms, regardless of the guest setpoint, external weather conditions or recovery time. With TSE, each room's temperature is kept adjusted based on these external factors, to calculate how far it can drift from an occupant's preferred setting when they leave the room, so it will return to that setting within minutes upon their return.
About InTown Suites
InTown Suites is the leader in economy Extended Stay Living. The company started in Atlanta, GA in 1989 with just a few properties. Since that time, it has grown to 137 locations in 21 states with over 17,500 rooms and employing over 1200 people.
InTown is committed to the environment and green business practices. In 2005, InTown completed an aggressive campaign to replace its existing incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs in the vast majority of fixtures. The company also installed numerous water saving devices in all guest rooms. Moreover, InTown purchases only appliances with the highest Energy Efficiency Ratings. InTown management stated: "We are convinced that these measures, along with the addition of the TSE system, is not only good for the environment, but is a sound financial decision as well."

Hey Mickey,
Is that buy-up-to price correct? $5.00 ?
And TKO is currently going for $0.87 ...
Thanks.
From Mike Murphy, Telkonet (TKO) has changed CEOs, and now we will see what this technology can really do. The new 32-year-old CEO is a successful entrepreneur and a hard-driving manager, and the troops have to be thrilled that they are once again a real contender. Think Boston Red Sox in 2002, when futures trader John Henry bought the team. I expect world-class results from TKO in 2008, including major new government program wins for their Broadband over Power Line technology. Buy TKO up to $5 for my stubbornly unchanged $15 target.
Like I said before, I would much rather preferred TKO hired an outsider rather than Jason Tienor...It is too late now & the PPS is back to where started...Who voted this guy anyway?? Certainly not I..
Have a merry CHRISTmas to all TKOers..
The new President seems to "call 'em like he sees 'em"... from pg 6 of his annual presentation;

imshredin2~do you think providing the $ value is because of the management changes?
the $3.8 million contract announcement was right on time. The refreshing part is they actually put a revenue number on it. Remember how much it sucked when they would PR all this stuff that was going to happen and never put a number on it ? We were left to try to figure out if it was worth anything or just smoke
I thought they might recover some today based on that news but not the case!
Looks like we got our double bottom

LA,Looks like we got our double bottom and the $3.8 million contract announcement was right on time. The refreshing part is they actually put a revenue number on it. Remember how much it sucked when they would PR all this stuff that was going to happen and never put a number on it ? We were left to try to figure out if it was worth anything or just smoke. BTW I'm putting those two companies you mentioned on my watch list. Looks like I may be too late on one of them. Shred
Today could be our double bottom. I'm not a chartist but I think that is what we are looking at. LA what do you think? You read the charts pretty good.
I will never trust his recos and his prediction is absurd..He's been saying that for 3 years..LMAO
Theres a chance it might hit the $5 but if it does then I am guessing probably late of next year..IMO
what do u think of Murphy's prediction of 5$ per shares? tia
Well back to normal at TKO, we sit and wait while the pps drifts aimlessly. Pay attention to DPDW again. It took a dive on pretty heavy volume. Could be a nice rebound in the works. I may get off this horse and on that one if this won't run.
very nice thanks
Mike Murphy Update: Back on Top Buy List
Telkonet (TKO) did it! As of this morning, Ron Pickett, the drive-by CEO, becomes Vice-Chairman of the Board and, as I predicted, Jason Tienor has been named President and Chief Executive Officer. Tienor promptly named a new Chief Operating Officer, a new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and a new Vice President of Global Sales. Sounds like a pretty clean sweep.
Tienor said that the company's cost reduction program has projected savings of about $2.1 million a year. Telkonet's energy management and hospitality businesses are scheduled to double, matched by continued growth within the government systems-related sectors. Gross profit margins will increase through 2008 in line with increasing revenues, and the company is still committed to cash flow breakeven in the near term and positive earnings per share for the full 2008 year.
The proxy is also out for the Board of Directors vote coming on December 21, and Ron asked: "What do you suggest when it comes time to vote?"
I suggest voting against Warren (Pete) Musser, the Chairman of the Board, and against Ron Pickett, the former President and CEO. Vote for the other directors. Truthfully, they all deserve a "no" vote for letting Pickett try to run the company by remote control for so long, but we will collectively have a bigger impact if Musser and Pickett get fewer votes than the others.
I like Pete Musser from his days at Safeguard, but I think he would be a bit shocked if he got a lot less votes than the other outside directors. He is 80 years old and probably doesn't want any stains on his record at this point, so maybe shock would turn to action. Jason Tienor needs to be the management person on the Board, and Pickett needs to get out of the company.
Meanwhile, with the appointment of Tienor as CEO, I am making TKO a Top Buy again up to $5 for my $15 target.
OT--thanks for your PM the other night KPI....Thats too bad you dont put money on any pinks but just keep on eye on EFFC and CVCP..I understand all pinkies are POS but these two are uplisting to OTCBB in January..Btw, I scooped most of my CVCP shares in the mid .30s now at $1.76 and my average for EFFC is .20 and patiently waiting til they start rolling when January comes..
GLTU and all TKOheads out there.
Man I didn't have the "nads" to buy more yesterday when it was under $1 LOL Good news indeed! See 'ya Ron, don't let the door knock the rug off your head on the way out....
Thanks, This is a win win for TKO. We get to retain his expertise and still get a new CEO. I am more bullish than ever.
Founder and former CEO Ron Pickett is named Vice Chairman of Telkonet's Board of Directors, and will continue to play an important senior advisory role. Pete Musser, Chairman of the Board, observed that having Ron's leadership, vision and commitment from Telkonet's inception were important to acknowledge.
"Ron has given so much in so many ways," said Pete Musser, who summarized by saying that the new leadership is a key part of Telkonet's planned strategy, and will enable the next phase of the company's evolution, positioning Telkonet for success in calendar year 08.

Yes, Yes, Yes! This is the news we have been waiting for. I am sure Mike Murphy will now pump this again. This is going to be a long term hold for me.
Finally!! Thank you Santa!!!

OT--Shred, well, it would have been better if you scooped DPDW in the .20s like I did less than a year ago..Made a bit of money..anyways I no longer have it however all my hard earned cash are in EFFC..
Good things are coming on EFFC..Hope you and KPI take some position before it runs..I really hope you guys do..
Meanwhile TKO are a few cents away from my prediction of under a dollar before December ends..ARRRRRRRRRRRGH
In fact slap me for buying too quick again. Down 7% already. Hey LAKINSPHAN were you on DPDW? That was $1.04 the same day this was $1.10. Now it's like $1.20 AAAUUUGGGGG!

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. |
