All I can say is that I'm so happy I have other stocks and my livelihood is not tied to TKO. That was pathetic!!
Another negative day for TKO almost complete. Why can't this company give us any solid news with revenues attached or updates on existing relationships? Either those revenues and relationships don't exist or the incompetence at headquarters continues despite the recent additions to the front office. Amazing
Nope...because TKO took all my money...back to even...this company is so depressing!!
Could you afford to supersize it?

Looks like the we are heading for the inevitable drift down to even for the day. The buyers come out of the woodwork at every single small spike. Maybe they recognize that this company is in shambles, needs money badly, and can't publicize its own activities or embarrassingly low revenue projections for existing contracts.

About time a positive day happens around here...why is it that GE can put out more announcements about its relationship with TKO than TKO can put out about its relationship with GE? How incompetent are the folks at TKO?
MLK is right. Up 11 cents!

Gip, be careful when looking at commodity prices as an inflation indicator. Globalization over the past decade or more has done quite a bit to change that dynamic. Plus, not all commodities are the same, so it's difficult to generalize, but many commodity prices have been driven by speculative price bubbles, rather than basic supply and demand. Additionally, inflation, in my view, if more of a monetary phenomenon than anything else.
Ouch, awesome news, I hadn't seen this yet. I copied just a section to post, because I don't think this is small potatoes. Here is a small part of the info:
Find a need, fill a need
GE Energy has signed an exclusive agreement with Telkonet, a leading developer of innovative PLC solutions for the commercial market, to develop the Intellix SK100. Telkonet’s iWire System™ has been delivering simple, cost-effective and secure broadband network access in hotels, resorts and other commercial buildings for years.
“We haven’t seen any solutions quite like this for electric utilities,” says Stuart Borlase, GE Energy's marketing program manager for Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED). “By working with Telkonet, we’re bringing a commercially available product to a new market and filling a gap in our industry.”
In demos of Intellix SK100, users report it is an ideal communications solution for the following:
- Adding communications to devices and applications in existing substations or power plants;
- Adding site access control and surveillance;
- Reducing communication costs in new construction; and
- Providing temporary or trial-use installations of equipment
requiring communication capability.
The Intellix SK100’s intelligent platform is capable of supporting multiple applications—such as protection, monitoring, control and data acquisition, with flexibility in the location of communication interfaces. The system supports a wide variety of GE products with Ethernet communications.[/I]
Man, if you can't get excited at least a little bit about this, you need to see a doctor. I realize there are a couple of detractors who have thought this was dead, but look who's coming to dinner!
I have been catching wind of something big coming, but was sitting back and waiting to see. Could this be it? Oh I do believe so. With GE, you have size, name, reputation, international exposure, the whole shooting match. I hope some of you are as excited as I am.. this is a dream coming to fruition.. awesome!
BVChuck,
The only shares up on my board today so far are commodity shares (oil, gold, pharmaceuticals) pushing inflationary concerns once again. The value of the dollar hit an all time low today continuing its lengthy decline... not good if we expect foreign countries to continue to finance our growing national debt (a rate cut now could actually be damaging). GDP is at 2%, exactly where the Fed wants it. None of this signals the need for a rate cut on the 18th IMO. I still think the Fed will hold!
At least TKO's hanging in their.
The S&P 500 hasn't gained 2% yet (needs to breach 1480 for me to become more optimistic). Everything is still on hold.

where is GE? (Not rated) 12-Sep-07 12:35 pm
gutaquest, watch your mouth
and to all the "where is GE?" people out there--go here:
http://images.questex.com/gss/2007/ge_energy/0807GE_Energy_Mgmt_News.html
Read that and then, you too, may join new2 back on the long side. It is time to come back around. GE may be slow and deliberate naming a non issue (wiring is everywhere) as the only issue but in fact they come right out with even more remarkable applications for TKO (alias SK100)-- Texas Tea anyone?
It is a beautiful thing when that damn puzzle you have been working on forever starts to actually look like something and the last pieces seem to fly into place.
Get on it! Nthomp--buy more.

PS: It takes two days max to handle an airport. How many are there? Next stop? Join the army boys! Can this picture get any clearer? I would say more but I am in a hurry.
Down SIX CENTS!!
Does anyone have any clue as to why no TKO PR can have revenues attached...that is the sole reason that TKO always moves lower on a news release.
It appears that these PRs over the last week are intended to tell us that the topics discussed in the June conference call are happening as planned. Although dollars are not being discussed, at least in today's PR, the number of locations is on par with what was discussed in the conference call. To me, this is effectively saying they are on target, or better in the case of the SSI PR.
Hopefully we will see one regarding airport work for the TSA. I believe that is one of the bigger dollar contracts that they were looking for in the Govt sector. On the key channel partners side, maybe we will see an update on Geeks or GE over the next few weeks.
Without coming out and saying it, I believe these PRs are designed to tell us that TKO is on the mark so far in these areas. I think this is an effective way to do it versus sending out a PR every time they install a location.
The incredible shrinking bid is back!!!
Down two cents. But, I thought this was such great news. Doesn't the market know that? What is wrong? I can't believe it? Then again, news releases without revenue are highly suspicious and met with skepticism. Of course it is going down.
TKO in negative territory.
Must have been great news for the market to give such a resounding response.
TKO beginning to "green up" on Barchart.com. Less than a month ago it was solid red, 100% sell across the board. Take a look now:
http://quotes.barchart.com/texpert.asp?sym=tko
I think it will continue to get greener, especially in the mid/long term areas as the price stabilizes at a higher rate and then grows in price in the next month. It's getting exciting!
Good investing!
Exactly, right. Kickin butt and takin names.
BSD
Wow! We are already over half of yesterday's share total. I think the most recent news is stirring things up. I wish I could see some kind of dollar amount for the gov. contract(s) so I can figure out how loud to yell and how high to jump! All of us patient longs will be rewarded..in the long run.
Good investing!
More great news, MLK, no wonder you think we'll see 2.70 by Halloween!

My best to Sirius and Walrus just another old long.
EM, it is amazing..I just hate the skidmarks! Ha!
Have a great rest of the day to all!
Isn't it refreshing how pps moves up so well on low volume when shorts have left the scene?
Note front page of today's wsj Hotels going green. Very relevant to tko technology.
Good News! My previous prediction looks to be holding up. $2.60 by the end of October. I think the company has too many good income avenues now to ignore their growth possibilities. If management keeps things on track and growth occurs in the foreign market, numbers will look even better. As someone pointed out, this is a very critical time for TKO and I think they will come out as a solid investment after a time of "drifting". Divesting themselves of MSTI was a good move. I know they own stock, and MSTI is down, but the drain factor has been eliminated. There are too many other good growth areas such as the energy management section, to be stuck with any albatrosses. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if they got rid of all their stock in MSTI, but maybe there is some downrange opportunity there also. All in all, a pretty exciting time. It's good to have some rugged TKO investors to banter with about the stock, its' potential, strengths, weaknesses, etc. Some may doubt, but I don't. Good to feel positive about TKO and its' future.
Good investing to all!
Just like you said, up 10. Another great call
BSD
That is what I'm looking at...only up two cents now. The bid keeps shrinking...no buyers to be found. Maybe my warning about the scary October to come are making the rounds. $1.20 by November 1st, remember
What are you looking at? I've got up .04???
No volume...sinking bid...not looking too good again today for good ole TKO. What a sorry state of affairs.
Hey Gip,
I think we can both agree that deciphering Fed-speak is quite subjective and art rather than science. As someone who has paid attention to the Fed for quite some time, I can say that Yellen has historically been one of the most hawkish governors. I read recognition/admission of the potential considerable impact of the current downturn in her comments. More importantly, I read an acknowledgement that the inflation situation, which normally overrides all of her policy decisions, is contained (in the comfort zone) and getting better. That, to me, signals a green light that a cut is in the cards unless there is some material improvement over the next week.
Go to the year 2005. That is the year the Telkonet products received their initial Fips validation. Under certs 553 & 557, you will find updated 140-2 validation on 8/29/2007 for the next generation Telkonet Products.
I do not see Telkonet on the link in the 2007 year. Can you tell me where it is on the page?
I think you're right on the 200MB chip... they refer to it as the G-Series, maybe infering GE?
Hi Ouch,
I agree the S&P 500 is the KEY future trend indicator. If we go + or - 2% either side of 1450, I think the next three month direction will be set. If the Fed doesn't cut at all, and my reading is they won't, we're headed down. I did cover all my margin positions today! If the Fed cuts 1/4 we may get a brief rise like you said, but not more than the 2% into Oct. Way too many problems surfacing to shake consumer confidence. I may get out of the market entirely the closer we get to the 18th/19th meeting. IMO Bernanke has mis-read the economy since his appointment and needs a reality check.
Gip
Hi BVChuck,
Here are Yellen's comments:
http://www.frbsf.org/news/speeches/2007/0910.html
I read her as leaning heavily towards a wait and see, no cut at all... that conditions do not currently warrant any cut based on the limited impact of one reading. I think the Fed is seeing inflationary effects globally (China now up to 6.5%) and Europe up also, and wants to see hard negative downturn numbers in employment and a spending here for 2 - 3 months before acting. She commented he housing impact and subprime impact are minor to the overall economy which has been slowing but still OK?
Find attached FIPS 140-2 approval issued to the Telkonet Gateway (cert #553) and I-Bridge (cert #557) on 8/29/2007. I suspect this is the 200mbp chipset product.
http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/140-1/1401val2005.htm
Also, my takeaway on the 9/5 SSI energy management news release is that Telkonet raised guidance to $5million from $4million originally projected in the June conference call.
I also encourage all to listen to the Ceocast interview with Ron Pickett taped on 8/11/07 for commentary concerning international developments and opportunities.
go_tko
Gipper,
if many aren't concerned, IMO they should be concerned!!
Some believe the rate cut on the 18th is a slam dunk.. I could certainly be wrong but I tend to believe the Fed won't cut rates on the 18th.. If they were thinking of cutting them, they likely would have done so already.. If the Fed lowers the rate, it will be because they gave in to the pressure.. The Fed is already pumping Billions of dollars into the economy as we speak and they have lowered the Discount rate previously, as well..
Should the rate be cut, there likely will be a spike up, but it won't last IMO.. Should there 'not' be a cut, will probably be an Ouch..
I personally feel that there is another leg down coming in the market, even without the interest rate scenario.. If the Nasdaq breaks the 200 support line, which is around 2510, won't be good.. The S&P 500 has found support on two previous pullbacks this year around 1370 or so.. Should that not hold, would be problematic also..
As you mentioned, the market is pricing in a rate cut.. You can see it in the Gold price.. The price of Oil is up again. The Dollar is dropping further.. What kind of picture is that drawing..
I agree with you that either way will not effect Telkonet to much degree.. With China's overheated economy, there is money to be made in the right places.. Of course money, what is that stuff anyway??
So that's my Penney or two and if anyone else isn't concerned, IMO they certainly should be.. Only (one thing) is guaranteed?? My friend 'The Shadow Knows'!!!
I believe that headline is a complete misinterpretation of Yellen's speech. I read the full transcript and found her comments to be quite bullish for the prospects of a significant cut (i.e. 50 basis points) and additional cuts in subsequent months.
I agree totally...Asia is the place to be invested for the next decade...not just 2008.
I don't agree with your thoughts on TKO...it is due for a whoopin. No money...no sales...no rumors of supposed deals forthcoming...it is dead.
Next
This doesn't bode well for a rate cut on the 18th:
"Fed's Yellen warns rate cut may not happen
San Francisco Fed president says rate policy is not intended to bail out investors.
September 10 2007: 2:03 PM EDT
NEW YORK (AP) -- San Francisco Fed President Janet Yellen said Monday that while market turmoil has the potential to hurt the economy, rate policy should not bail out investors.
The speech, which helped send major gauges lower in early afternoon trade, followed comments from Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart, who said investors should consider Friday's unemployment report alongside a mostly strong batch of retail sales reports seen recently. Over the weekend, Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser said that the Fed doesn't make rate decisions based on any one number."
IMO, The market has already priced in a 1/4% cut. If we don't get it... there may be trouble ahead. If we do get a rate cut, there won't be any upside left anyway. We could have a major market SNAFU. I think I'm going to step to the sidelines before Friday, and then wait and see what comes to pass. I can't see being invested in the US economy with a declining growth now at under 2%, while China is running at projections of 5 - 10% for 2008. In either case, I think TKO should weather any serious downturn fairly well if it occurs.
I don't want to sound like chicken little. Is anyone else concerned?
What a horrible day for TKO. October is near and the truth will come out. Remember, TKO's core business by my calculations only had revenue of about $100k last quarter. Meaning, this company is in a whole heap of trouble. Looks like the market agrees with MLK as well. Heading down below $1.20 by November 1st. You heard it here first so don't come knocking for a life perserver when TKO starts sinking.
Dang...going down faster and faster. Down to $1.56 and over 6% loss today alone. Remember the ghouls and goblins I have warned about in October. As below $1.20 by November 1st will make everyone scream.
Gotta agree. Great news for the bottom line. Acquisitions paying off big time.
BSD
Down down down.
Looks like TKO is moving back to the days of publishing non-substantive news. Publish news and the stock promptly drops over 5%. That certainly isn't vote of confidence from the market for TKO's PR department.
October is right around the corner and then you will all witness MLK's genius.
Remember, below $1.20 by November 1st.
LA I would be careful of a news letter that has VOIC on it. I own that POS and if you ran across it a month ago and put your lotto money on it you would be happy. Look back longer and you'll see the 90% drop and reverse split. Not good company for TKO to be keeping even on a newsletter. Bottom line TKO has more potential and is being run by less stupid people.. FWIW I hope they both rock as I still have a few shares of each one.
EM, I never heard back from TKO so I couldn't let you know which hotels were under contract. I will probably try again and see if I have any better luck. Maybe you will get an answer.
Good investing!
EthoStream Continues Its Accelerated Sales Growth via Expanded Product Offering
Expected to generate sales of approximately $5 million by 2007 year-end
GERMANTOWN, Md., Sep 10, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- EthoStream, LLC, a Telkonet company (TKO:telkonet inc com

TKO (1.67, 0.00, 0.0%) , operators of one of the largest hospitality high-speed Internet access (HSIA) networks in the U.S., and a preferred or endorsed provider for some of the world's largest hotel companies, today announced it continues to recognize accelerated sales growth through 2007, with year-end sales of approximately $5 million specific to EthoStream sales activities. EthoStream's strong sales success, along with Telkonet SmartEnergy's revenue projection of $5 million, illustrates the synergies of Telkonet's recent acquisitions.
EthoStream attributes their strong sales performance to three factors: the use of powerline communications (PLC) technology as a backbone, the offering of new energy management products that reduce energy consumption by approximately 30%, and providing a centralized, integrated platform that supports EthoStream's complete technology services offering. The combination of these products illustrates EthoStream's true technology convergence, providing hospitality owners with a comprehensive range of services.
Since the acquisition by Telkonet, a growing number of EthoStream's installations have implemented the Telkonet iWire System(TM) as a backbone, which provides a comprehensive hybrid solution of wired and/or wireless Internet access. Telkonet's system, which uses a building's internal electrical wiring for Internet access, not only eliminates the need to wire a building with costly CAT-5, but also leverages the ability to easily add products and services requiring network connectivity utilizing the PLC backbone, such as Voice over IP and surveillance. Hospitality properties are realizing they can maximize their investment by adding revenue-generating and cost-saving applications that run off of the Telkonet platform.
Jason Tienor, chief operating officer for Telkonet, EthoStream and Smart Systems International, elaborated, "Our expanded product offering integrates the best technologies of each of Telkonet's latest acquisitions. The ability to leverage Telkonet's PLC technology as an infrastructure platform and provide comprehensive remote management through EthoStream's Remote Management Console has allowed EthoStream to increase its presence in the full-service hospitality market and beyond simply high-speed Internet access."

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.
