TEN CENTS?!!!!!! IF that was a legi trade--then
SOMEone is 'taking care' of SOMEone else....and that is stinky trading---not zero sum objectivity.
thanks for your insight, Gip....no one can say, now, that the economy is booming, can they? What with all these 'circumstances'. Yesterday, perhaps I mentioned, there was discussion on CNBC, as to whether or not,it would be better, to just let people lose thier homes, or better if Feds stepped in....hahahahhaha...and THEN, one of the young female analysts wanted to make sure that everyone KNEW, that if we stopped allowing China to supply our toys, toothpaste, and food...our prices would go up at Walmart! We die, but the price of the product tht kills us, is cheap, anywaay! hahahahaa
Not much happening with TKO today...except that the pps is declining 100 shares at a time....just doesn;t seem right to me...when I compare the bid sizes on each side...not very balanced at all.....
No, because someone is always on the other side of the trade. Trading is a zero sum game in my opinion, someone wins and someone loses.
OR RBT--there could have been a fat finger at work, as well...and if that is the case, it should have been corrected......someone picking up shares at 10 cents is a little bit stinky, don't you think?
pps going 100 shares at a time....
You can show a bid/offer at whatever price you want. Whether someone wants to execute a trade at that price is up to that party. There was an exchange system problem this morning and most if not all of AMEX had a delayed opening. However, that does not stop anyone else from posting quotes.
To answer your question directly, someone most likely got nervous thinking the stock was going to open lower and sold to the only bid that was posted at 1.39. When the exchange actually did open, obviously that trade was a silly one.
If your broker/dealer lets you, you can post quotes before and after market as well. There is very little liquidity thats why its very dangerous to do it. You never know whats gonna happen and there are no undos.
I posted this yesterday morning on another board... food for thought:
"Capitulation?
Well according to the Bollinger Bands for the NASDAQ, this should be the bottom. I'm not sure there is anything left to scare the investing public with... given housing, sub-prime lending, unemployment, oil, Iraq war, inflation, interest rates, and now China's questionable health and safety concerns. Looks like capitulation today on low volume. NASDAQ 2420 looks like support for the continuation of the current bull market. If we break below it to 2350, I think we'll recover into a right shoulder move up to around 2500 again by December, and then decline into a major recession for 2008 (Fodder for the election year.)"
On the surface, it looks like the bounce back into the close yesterday signals a correction and a resumption of the bull run... but not so fast. The fed discount rate cut today in the early AM may be too little too late. Discount rate cuts should have been done to spur the economy last Spring along with a Fed funds rate cut in May. However, the Fed has been totally preoccupied with inflation. The Fed is still not convinced the economy is in trouble. (On a personal note, ALL of my business contacts have been complainting about economic conditions [sales declines] for at least six months. Also, I watched a Hong Kong analyst report late last night, and this US subprime loan problem is THE primary cause of the GLOBAL collapse as well... it's literally huge in it's impact, and changes the world's view of our economic stability and power. Future global investment in the US will undoubtedly begin to decline. That's really bad news for the future!!!!
BSD mentioned he didn't think this sell off was like 1987. I agree. Unfortunately, it's more like the prelude to the recession of 1990 when the NASDAQ suffered a 44% setback (470 to 325). The historical setting is almost identical as well (Gulf war and all). It's starting to look more and more unavoidable IMO. The Fed must cut the funds rate to 4-1/2 in three quick, successive cuts to lessen its economic impact. Congress must also look to stimulate the economy through reduced spending and tax cuts like the fixing the AMT. Check out this article for more insights: http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2007/moneymag/0708/gallery.how_youll_know.moneymag/index.html
Sorry to be pessimistic, but all views should be considered!
Gip
Apart from what the stock is doing this morning, if anything, this Ethostream deal looks better all the time. They keep adding market share. Extream has 25,000 units under service or contract and has a nice chunk of the timeshare market nationwide. It would be safe to assume that 7,500 is the tip of the iceberg here. Added to its customer base, this seems like a big get for Ethostream. Plus we got a young and seemingly robust COO out of the deal.
BSD
please would someone help answer this for me. How can a transaction assuming it was a purchase for 5000 share at 1.38 be put in so far below the pps. and then jump right back up .10 was someone let in or what. Is this a perfect example of who you know and not what you know. I'd sure like some answers.
Now down a penny.WWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Your right up a stinking penny...WWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
But it is trading......sooooooo
For the last time lol, the stock is not open!
The market's up big and tko is down over six percent...I LOVE THIS STOCK
I see sales as well, but bring up your level II and you will see that the AMEX has not posted yet. Probably some glitch at the exchange, that happened a few weeks ago and a lot of stocks had delayed openings.
Just watxhing my scottrade streamer on T & S....and it IS after 10AM.....fact usually starts moving around 9:30 AM--and that is ET...
Ok now we are back to normal since it's back down again.
Its not open yet. AMEX hasn't posted quotes. The sales you see are away from the market.
T&S has a whole lot of 100, 200 share bids for 1.52 and 1.53 and then a ton of 100 share lots for 1.35, 1.32....this is being played with today--lots of bids....very few trades...
There we go now it's trading on a whopping 200 shares....at least it's up 5 cents.
Is this crappy stock going to trade today?
BTW...yesterday when I thought the banks had been fed $20 billion?...this morning on Bloomberg they said $64 Billion!!!! BIG difference! also...analysts deem undecided as to whether there was a bottom yesterday , perhaps today AN?D/OR the bottom won;t be til next week or the week after....in other words...no one seems to know....

Japan's benchmark index posted its biggest one-day drop in more than
seven years, plunging 874.81 points, or 5.4%, to close at 15273.68, with
a sharp drop in the dollar against the yen hurting exporters. Hong Kong
plummeted 6% in late trading, South Korean shares finished down 3.2%
and markets in India, Indonesia and Singapore were all trading sharply
lower, as the effects of the U.S. housing-loan crisis continued to
ripple through Asia.

Telkonet,
'trick or treat'...
Sonny,
I lovvvvvvvvve your charts!! Great job...
So what's in October?
Oh...and for two seconds today, I thought just maybe RP was Elvis. Then I remembered he had never entered the building.
It seems a lot of people are panicking with TKO and the market. The TKO panic is justified and come October, the haunting will truly be horrific.
Regarding the market, it has truly been a gloomy period. But, it's a roller coaster ride that will have more ups then downs over the next several years. I'm in this for the next few decades, so it doesn't concern me.
TKO, however, should concern everyone. October is coming. Who wants to know the problem that I saw with the last quarterly report that nobody has spoken to as of yet? Or, do you just all want to continue the predictions of $50, $40, $20, $5, $2? The only soothsayer on the board is MLK, as he has now been right numerous times. All others, not so right.
Thanks for your suppport!!
~~~~~~~TKO Annotated Chart~~~~~~~
Whoa!! check out the two chart below...
whats the chance of having the pps closed where the gaps are??? Hmmm....Specialists are a bunch of crooks..Its sick!!
That was the sickest move I have seen in a very long time. After being down 350 points the Dow had half of the 30 components finisher ther day higher. The S&P was down 32 points and finished up 4 handles. That is better than a 2% move. I cannot even think about the amount of money it would take to move the S&P up in that type of wave.
Good sign, lets see some follow tommorrow.
TKO has picked up 11 cents of that low this morning.....
The Fed doesn't neccissarily buy securites in the market, they inject money into the banking system so their is liquidity for banks to lend money. Otherwise, you would have seen rates go way up, and credit lock up more than it already has.
Yahoo Market Overview:
Market Update
1:30 pm : After recently hitting a new intraday bottom, what few optimists remain are apparently trying to view the market's latest dip as a buying opportunity. At their lows, all three major indices were down more than 2.7% on average.
The most noticeable and influential improvement has been seen in Financials (+0.3%), which has recently attracted enough bargain-hunting interest amid a sizable drop in borrowing costs to climb into positive territory.
While the bounce is surprising from the standpoint that investors are selling virtually everything, the extensive rotation out of this year's biggest winners -- like Energy (-3.4%), Materials (-3.9%), Industrials (-2.9%), and Technology (-2.5%) -- has evidently freed up enough capital to cautiously jump back into this year's biggest disappointment, Financials.
It is still down more than 13% on the year, but investors are selectively picking up a handful of depressed large-cap banks (e.g. BAC +1.8%, WFC +1.9%, WB +1.4%, USB +2.6%). DJ30 -253.35 NASDAQ -48.96 SP500 -23.71 NASDAQ Dec/Adv/Vol 2370/667/1.79 bln NYSE Dec/Adv/Vol 2950/410/1.53 bln
1:00 pm : As evidenced by the flight to quality in Treasuries pushing the 10-year yield below 4.60% for the first time since May, the mass exodus out of equities is becoming even more apparent.
The Dow has joined the S&P 500 and Nasdaq down more than 10% from its July peaks, signaling a market correction for an index containing the bluest of blue chips.
The Nasdaq is now in negative territory for the year, as is the S&P 400 MidCap Index, and, of the 147 S&P industry groups, only three are in positive territory. The average decline from all 10 economic sectors trading lower now stands at 2.6%. DJ30 -280.87 NASDAQ
Didn't the Fed put in something like $20 billion into the market last week in attempt to prevent today?
Nasty--nasty!! If you fail to cover the margin call, they will do the favor for you, Automatically..
Kind of like the wife going on a shopping spree.. Oh Honey, for some reason we exceeded our credit limit!!!
Agreed, economy is totaly different from '87. That meltdown was 20% in one day I believe. This is 10% haircut in a month after a 20% run-up in less than a year. Dont get me wrong I have lost my ass, but I understand to some extent what is going on.
The not-so-bright mortgage lenders put the banking system in a crappy position. Countrywide going under would not be a good thing, that may basically erase the lenders off the map I suppose. 1987 Savings and Loan anyone?
Volatility is off the charts right now, you know when Goldman says they dont know how bad it is, its bad.
As far as the Fed, I really dont think the Fed will do anything, nor should they, until this trickles into the economy. When people start losing their jobs is when they need to come in and cut rates to stimulate growth. I would love a rate cut for my portfolio (whats left of it), but I dont think its the Fed's job to be the market protector.
There can be more downside, I think another shoe will drop, but there are so many good names that are now taking a beating that shouldn't be. If I had more to invest I would be looking at many of the bigger companies that have a big global exposure, GE, MSFT, CSCO, DE, HAL, X, etc. These companies are trading at very low P/E's, I am not so sure that this correction will have too much effect on the global growth, so these companies may be getting unfairly punished.
But who knows, I am not ready to call a bottom just yet.
hahahaha...yup...took a very few minutes....poof! done!
Tommorow is really up in the air right now......isn;t it?
I agree with you---with options expiring tomorrow, and the market going down, and margins being called in, and the correction.....folks need to sell off or add money to their margin accounts, and covering is practically mandatory--tomorrow, & although volatile as heck, MIGHT see a recovery of some of the losses today---ESPECIALLY if there is good squeeze action for those that aren't paying attention today.
Money will be made today by the shorts, that is for sure...but money will be lost by those on margin, too. As BSD notes--correction is way overdue---and it IS time to go long on TKO at a very good price.....
Most know that August is a 'back to cash' month, anyhow...so there will be a lot of folks, once we calm down marketwise, that will be picking up cheap shares all over the place---but 'fear rules' retail in situations like this---resulting in a sell off as well....IMO, though, I think the hedgies and other funds are a bit fearful, this time, as well---because this is not just the U.S. market......it is everywhere...
HA! CNBC actually had a discussion 'should we just let folks lose their homes? or should there be some protection base set up for them?' SOOOOOOO Glad that my home is paid for!
Agree that when 'Fear' rages, is most opportune time to buy in majority of cases..
I adjusted my funds over a month ago to conservative mode, with exception of my 'pinky' money.. A little early, so sacrificed a bit of gain but saving my booty now..
**The Nasdaq has broken down thru it's '200 MA' on heavy volume, like ice cream on a hot day..**
Can't say that Telkonet is tasting sweet at present, but that may pass with time.. Will have to confine ourselves to the $2.00 Black Jack table with Telkonet, for time being..
Hmmmm, is the worst over or just warming up...
SIRIUS: I sincerely want to thank for your contribution of information to this board. I would really like to believe the selling is an effort to make profit by shorting now and expecting a much higher pps later. I deeply believe now is the time for longs to buy as I have. ermonw
I could of tell you that by just looking at the chart..
MLK, pride kills buddy!!
There is no comparison between today and '87. As a percentage of the overall market, this drop is not terrifically meaningful, in my opinion. The market was way overextended and was in dire need of a correction. I'll be interested to see if it holds 12,5. Think it will but with the credit problems and the idiot greedy mortgage companies finally getting their comeuppance, it might not. I added to college funds and mutuals just a little while ago. Have been holding back on both for months on end. Fear reigns. Time to buy?
BSD
tomorrow is option expirey date---for the month---going to be another volatile day...
Not TKO...but relevant--perhaps some competition? or a need for some collaboration?

ConEdison Solutions Delivering Major Energy Efficiency Initiative for School District in Willimantic, Connecticut
Windham Public Schools Expect to Reap $7.1 Million in Energy Savings
ConEdison Solutions, one of America’s leading energy service providers, has been selected by Windham Public Schools in Willimantic, Connecticut to undertake a 14-year energy efficiency initiative encompassing the district’s six schools.
The initiative represents one of the most ambitious energy conservation programs ever undertaken by a Connecticut school district.
Company and school officials said that the district expects that infrastructure improvements made by ConEdison Solutions may save up to $7.1 million in energy costs over a 14-year period through a range of infrastructure and energy efficiency upgrades.
In addition to improvements that will enhance learning and work environments in the schools, ConEdison Solutions will dedicate $12,000 for creation of an energy education curriculum for Windham students at the elementary, middle school and high school levels.
In a study released in June 2006, the Institute for Sustainable Energy at Eastern Connecticut State University found that state schools had spent 35 percent more on energy costs during the most recent school year than the previous one. With the national average for school district energy efficiency at 50 on a scale of 100, Connecticut schools ranked only 26. Connecticut districts would save $46 million annually if they were brought up only to the national average.
“School districts benefit from energy efficiency by allowing educators to redirect resources into their academic mission while also contributing to environmental preservation,” said Jorge J. Lopez, President and CEO of ConEdison Solutions. “ConEdison Solutions has an outstanding record of delivering energy services to institutions, businesses and households. We are proud to join forces with the Windham Public Schools, a Connecticut district that is playing a leadership role in energy efficiency.”
“Investing in energy efficiency helps us invest more in educating our children,” said Paul Perzanoski, Superintendent of Windham Public Schools. “We are proud to be at the forefront of energy efficiency awareness in the state, and are thrilled to pass on the message to our students and community that this initiative leads to savings plus a better environment through more efficient use of resources.”
With this initiative, Windham Public Schools will average $510,000 in savings annually. Other benefits include improved operations and aesthetics, improved ventilation, emergency building functionality in the event of power outages, and reduced exposure to increasing electricity and fuel prices.
The contract – known in the energy industry as an “energy savings performance contract” – covers Windham High School, Windham Middle School, North Windham School, Natchaug School, Sweeney School and Windham Center School.
ConEdison Solutions will outfit Windham High School with two new boilers, a 150- kilowatt cogeneration system, energy-efficient windows, and a new cooling system. It will also install high-efficiency lighting at the six schools, which will substantially improve the lighting quality while saving approximately 638,500 kWh of electricity. In addition, ConEdison Solutions will upgrade existing HVAC controls and ventilation, energy management control systems, and vending machine controls. It will also make improvements in the pool and natatorium and install water-saving fixtures and valves. Overall, the projects will save approximately 1,730,000 kWh of electricity and 58,000 gallons of heating oil, while the new cogeneration system will further offset the electricity and heating needs of the high school.
Over the last 12 months, ConEdison Solutions performed a detailed energy audit that assessed a full range of energy savings, cost reductions, and potential infrastructure improvements that could be accomplished through the contract and has designed turn-key projects to implement these improvements. The energy upgrades will begin in June 2007 and the bulk of the improvements are expected to be completed by the end of the year.

I was listening. Where do you see a re-enty point? This is looking cheap again
You should have been loading up on that one. What was it?
It 'ain't' just our problem---everybody has it....

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)

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. |

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.
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™ – AG5 | The Telkonet Gateway is a remotely manageable network interface that converts Ethernet connections to a power line carrier signal and transmits the signal to the Telkonet Coupler. The Telkonet Gateway allows management and configuration of the Telkonet Series 5 via a web browser or Telnet command line interface. | |
Telkonet Couplers – MVC-200 and DPC-200 | The Telkonet Coupler is wired to the AC or DC low-voltage bus and connected to the Telkonet Gateway with a coaxial cable. The Telkonet Coupler takes the power line carrier signal from the Telkonet Gateway or Telkonet eXtender and injects the signal into the AC or DC electrical wiring. The Telkonet Coupler is also available with an integrated disconnect switch (coupler breaker). | |
Telkonet eXtender™ – AX5 | The Telkonet eXtender provides additional power line carrier signal reach and scalability for networks that cannot be covered by a single Telkonet Gateway. | |
Telkonet iBridge™ – AB5 | The Telkonet iBridge is wired to the AC or DC supply at each point requiring a communications interface. The Telkonet iBridge recovers the power line carrier signal and converts it back into an Ethernet or serial connection for the devices or applications. It contains a test function to determine the power line carrier signal strength. |
