LOL, it might have been $1 million if there were buyers and sellers.
Point being, there aren't.
Building a nice position before the profits?
What makes you think it wouldn't have been $200k worth of stock but there just ain't no buyers?? Other then you, of course.
Too funny. A "big day" of $20k on a $10 million market cap stock.
Now $10k on a stock with less than a $1 million market cap, THAT's dumping.
Thanks. You proved my point! ROFLMAO. For a stock that consistently trades in the hundreds of shares, you have days of 20k, 22k, 20k, 15k, not to mention 9k, 8k, 4k, 7k.
Like I said. Dumping!
I guess you haven't been looking at the volume.
This should help.
http://www.google.com/finance/historical?q=NASDAQ:XATA
Ya in yet?
Strong balance sheet ain't keeping all these sellers from dumping!!! ROFLMAO! Maybe one, or many of them, see the issue with XATA's allegedly strong balance sheet that you are unable/unwilling to see!
Trading less then cash. You can't make this stuff up!!!
Now, again, this subject matter has become boring. It's difficult being so right. Please keep your witty retort to your same old same old, so that I may move on!!!!
LOL, strong balance sheet is a good reason to buy. Another exchange traded stock that will fly under the radar until it turns a profit. Then look out. I've been flipping half and building half. It's a great strategy with these thinly traded stocks.
Might want to think about closing out that short though. Once it turns a profit, you may have some difficultly.
Down 37% in less then 1 month. Ouch! Tough to see your money flying out the window like that.
I know it's hard to be comfortable with a stock that's cash value is worth less then the cash they have. And, let's not forget, has ALL that convertible bagholders up at higher prices. Wonder where all this recent selling is coming from??? Hhhhmmmmm.
Too bad you didn't sell all that stock you bought up higher.
LOL, "if you bought today". Which of course, I didn't.
20% in 1 week. Not a bad return.
I know, it's hard to get away from an undervalued stock like Xata. Especially one that seems to be sitting on the cusp of profitability.
Good thing you covered that short.
Actually, it was only a 10.71% profit today, and that's only if you really bought stock at 0.84. Your calculator must have been stuck. Second, I'll take my 63% gain on my short, thank YOU very much. (Along with that, goes a corresponding 63% LOSS for longs). And what on earth makes you think this isn't headed to Pennyland??? It's traded below cash for 5 days in a row before today. That's a true ROFLMAO. That's the market saying your dollar of cash ain't worth a dollar!!!!!! Pennyland, make room for XATA!!!
Now, again, to paraphrase Sonny Corleone, stop dragging me back in and let me head off to greener pastures. God knows XATA has been green enough for me
I'll take my 20% profit any day, thank you very much.
Hope you closed out that short position. Looks like it's not headed toward pennyland after all. ROFLMAO.
Sorry, I couldn't resist. That's it for me.
Nice bounce??? ROFLMAO! 0.84 to 0.93 is considered a nice bounce??? Then what on earth do you call XATA going from 1.59 to 0.84 since the beginning of 2012??? A crater??? 2.29 to 0.84 since last summer??? A black hole??? I can see what they are thinking now. I've lost $1.45 per share since last summer, but, yea, I'm up 0.09 today. YEA!!!
Patience. Yea, that's what XATA shareholders need! I wonder what the convertible bagholders (sorry, meant convertible preferred holders ) need? Valium?? I can see what they are saying. Gee, my convertible price is not even close to where the stock is trading, but, yea, the stock is up 0.09 today!!! ROFLMAO!!
Nice little Xata bounce today. Patience pays off.
Ok, this will be it for me. (Unless of course some other ridiculous thing needs to be pointed out!)
Last trade is 0.7999. (Do I need to address the new 52 week low situation again?? I'm thinking no.) That gives XATA an $8.6 million market cap. And from XATA's last Q, they have $8.7 million in cash.
So let's put this in perspective, shall we. The stock market is saying that XATA's $8.7 million, in cash, is only worth $8.6 million!!!!!! ROFLMAO isn't worthy enough here.
The stock market is saying XATA, as a company, is worth less then the cash they have! Unbelievable!! Those saying XATA isn't a Pinkie were right. XATA is WORSE then a Pinkie!!!!
And none of this takes into consideration that XATA traded down to 0.7611 today.
Wow, this was fun.
To paraphrase Michael Corleone, "everytime I think I'm out, they drag me back in".
XATA closed at 0.84. I'm just gonna assume I don't need to tell anyone it is a new, new, new, new, new, new 52 week low for XATA. The best part is, $9 million market cap, $8.7 million in cash!!!!
"Real stock"??? Yea, right!!!!!! ROFLMAO!!!

XATA actin' like a Pinkie again!! Put out a fluff pr and the stock hits a new, new, new, new 52 week low!! ROFLMAO!
Well, as I said, my time here is done. I was dragged back in before, but with the stock trading at 0.91, there's nothing left for me to say. Be well, almost everyone!
LOL!
Accumulation hasn't worked with XATA at 2.20 back in July. Then 1.60. Then at 1.30. Most recently at 1.15. And here we are at 0.98. Gotta love persistence!!! You know what they say about averaging down!!!!
Yea, the bag holders do know their convert is up at 3.00 and the stock is under 1.00. Only a matter of time till they start making trouble. Wouldn't be the first time XATA re-structured their converts! 16 million preferred outstanding. 10 million common outstanding. ROFLMAO!!!
I do like real companies. That's why I liked shorting XATA since I've been here!! They walk and talk like a Pinkie. Massive dilution! R/S coming. Looks like I was right all along!
XATA should just 'fess up and proudly say, "Yes, we're here, we're Pink, and deal with it!!"
I'm glad you realized that revenues are much higher than you thought. Now maybe you realize why Xata is here for the long haul. A company selling at 1/6th revenue? Insane right? There are a lot of listed stocks in the same boat as Xata - the interest just isn't there.
Wait until 1 mandate comes out though and Katie bar the door. Or the company
A 10% boost in revenues for Xata and they're at breakeven, and that's with continuing their massive 16% R&D spend. This is a company building for the future and obviously the convert holders know it. But don't spread it around, I'd like the price to stay nice and low until they become profitable. It allows for a nice slow accumulation.
I hope you find something good in your search, but trust me, pinkies are never the answer. Stick with the real companies, with real revenues on real exchanges.
Like XATA !
Yes. We agree already. XATA is just like a pinkie. R/S coming, massive dilution with their underwater converts... We've already agreed on this. You need to move on already.
And $24 million for employees for XATA that has a $10 million market cap!!! Wow! You can't make this stuff up.
Now, I'm really trying to move on here. I said Pennyland, and here we are. You said you "can't see it going below $1", yet here we are.
You don't have to say anything. I can read it in your posts.
Hopefully that will be all. Be well, again, almost everyone.
Your data is all wrong I'm afraid.
They in fact have revenues of over $60 million a year, you want $24 million for employees. Maybe this will help you http://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ:XATA&fstype=ii
You're somehow confusing "software revenues" with "total revenues". Here's the link to get you squared away.
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/854398/000119312511338241/d242285d10k.htm#tx2242285_3 Page F-3
Yeah, I agree, nothing like one of those scam pinkies that have 0 revenues, and do reverse splits on an annual basis, then massively dilute.
You're welcome.
I agree already. Reverse split coming, convert bag holders. Yes it acts like a Pinkie. We agree already.
As for the gross profit, come on. Let's be serious please. You say GROSS earnings. I say quarterly operating losses. And for the record, I said $24 million in revs just to pay their employees!!!! ROFLMAO!!
And also, please get your facts correct. As per their 10K filed on 12/12/2011, they did $45 million in revs for 2011, and $42 million in revs for 2010. Not $60 million. Nice try. So more then half of their revs goes to administrative and salary expenses, before the cost of goods and service, R&D, cost of financing blah blah blah.
And again, I'm not saying the bag holders (sorry convert holders) will put the company in BK, I'm saying that they will go to management and say, yo schmucks... Remember us. We gave you all those millions and got converts up at 3.00??? Well, since you ran the stock down under $1.00, let's re-negotiate those convert prices, shall we??? Either that or, what say you give us a bunch of free trading stock for free???
Like we all said, walks like a Pinkie, talks like a Pinkie...
Now, I'm really trying to move on but he keeps pullin' me back in. Take care almost everyone!!!
You misread. It doesn't act like a pinkie.
$24 million a year in revenues? ROFLMAO. Let's see, they've been over $60 million for the past 3 years. Heck, their gross profit has been over $30 million!
What will the convert holders do, put the company into BK and lose their entire investment? Too funny.
Ok So its not a very good to buy thanks look closer it dose look more pink just sayin
I agree with you, it does act just like a pinkie. R/S in it's future. More converts then common. Chart a straight line down.
You may like XATA's revenues, balance sheet, cash amount, and their extra cash from their LOC (I'd do that wink smiley face here if I knew how to do it), but they spend $6 million a quarter on selling, general and administrative expenses. That means they have to do $24 million a year in revenues, just to pay their employees!!! $24 million! ROFLMAO. That doesn't even cover R&D, or costs of goods and services sold.
Not sure how much longer that balance sheet will look good to you. And we've been over these bag holders (sorry, convert holders. Winky smile face here too!). You just can't assume they're gonna remain patient forever!!!
Well, I figured I'd get one response, but as I said, time for me to move on. Be well, almost everyone!!! I'll come back after this Pinkie wannabe gets to single digits, or does their R/S!!!
LOL, no it's not a pinkie. Those are mostly scams. This is a legit business with some good revenues and a strong balance sheet. It will very likely move up at some point, but there's no point in trying to time it.
My strategy is to keep adding small amounts on drops and wait patiently, but to each his own.
As you pointed out, it's practically selling for its cash value, and the convert holders are underwater until it moves above $3/share. Doing the math, I'd say, it's not going to fade away anytime soon.
GLTU.
Looks like we are all in agreement. If it walks like a Pinkie, and talks like a Pinkie...
Well, looks like my job here is done. Time to move on. It's been fun here. Take care almost everyone!
Too little volume. I'd stay away until it stabilizes. If that's below $1 it may have to R/S.
No thanks. This stock has been a screaming short since I got here and I've been right all along.
This company has around $8.5 million in cash and a market cap of $10.5 million. There has to be a reason why a company would trade so closely to it's cash. There's been a steady stream of sellers and very few buyers (sorry, accumulators!!) Someone knows something maybe???? Just sayin'.
XATA has traded straight down from 1.60 in March and straight down from 2.20 last summer. It has 60% more convertible preferred shares outstanding (convertible into common shares at or around 3.00. ROFLMAO) then it has common shares outstanding. 60%!! Convertible around $3.00!! It losses money every quarter since I've been here. They had $11 million in cash and needed to take out an $8 million line of credit (which cost them $100k to do).
You can't make this stuff up. Like I said before. If it walks like a pinkie, and talks like a pinkie...
We got to Pennyland today, (new, new, new 52 week low!!!) so we need a new slogan now. I got it. Single digits, here comes XATA!!
Not looking good hear at all , but might be worht a scalp trade imo
I know, the next move for XATA is a reverse split! ROFLMAO! That would get this supposed "real" stock on a supposed "real exchange" trading back above 1.00. Maybe even above 3.00 so the bag holders (sorry, convert holders) can break even!!! ROFLMAO!!!!
Do my eyes deceive me??? New 52 week low at 1.00!!!!!!!!!!!! And the bid is now 0.97????? I hate saying I told you so!!!!! Oh wait, no I don't!!
Trading was at a blistering pace today. LOL
Sad but this ones ready for the heap. No one would even throw a buck at it.
The more I look into this the funnier it gets!!! In February, XATA entered into a loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank for an $8 million line of credit.
http://www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=8453170
For which XATA had to give Silicon $100k cash, and is secured by "substantially all of the personal property of our company"!!! Plus, they have to pay the bank 0.25% on the unused money from the LOC per year! Here's how the conversation went.
XATA: Will you give us $8 million?
Bank: Yes, but you have to give us $100k first.
ROFLMAO!
It also begs the question, if they have "years worth of cash" why do they need an LOC? The 10Q released prior to this 8K states XATA had $11 million in cash and their most recent 10Q states they have only $8 million. Did they lose more money then we thought??? Kinda a coinckidink that they have an $8 million LOC and they only have $8 million in cash. Just sayin'.
Here's a thought. Maybe they needed the $8 million to repay the unhappy convert holders!!!!!!!! Or maybe they had to give the bagholders (sorry, convert holders) the cash they had, and took out the LOC to make it appear as though they still had the $8 million after losing $3 million of the $11 million.
I have to say it. If it walks like a Pinkie, and it talks like a Pinkie....
Pennyland, here we come!!!
They have very close ties to the company.
"John Deere Special Technologies Group, Inc. (“JDSTG”), entities affiliated with Technology Crossover Management VII, Ltd. (collectively, “TCV”), and entities affiliated with Trident Capital Management–V, LLC (collectively, “Trident Capital”) are represented on our Board of Directors and, individually and collectively, own enough capital stock to exert significant influence over Xata.
As of December 1, 2011, JDSTG was the record holder of 2,144,060 shares of our common stock. Under the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement between Xata and JDSTG, as amended, JDSTG has certain rights with respect to corporate actions, including the right to nominate and replace up to three members of our Board of Directors.
As of December 1, 2011, TCV held a substantial portion of our outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock, representing the right to vote 11,954,266 shares of our common stock on an as-converted basis.

An Amended and Restated Voting Agreement among us, JDSTG and Trident Capital is in place to further support certain of Trident Capital’s rights."
I agree, they can NOT be happy. Most investors that have the kinda money, and experience, to do a convert usually have close ties to the company, or some kind of leverage. Only a matter of time before they start pushing management to get them their money money money money. MONEY! I anticipate some restructuring of the convert, or additional stock going their way pretty soon. Especially after XATA gets to Pennyland!!!
I didn't say the convert holders were happy, but they're not going to do anything, other than whatever they can to ensure the stock moves higher in the future.
And yes, lots of "proposed" rules, but nothing much yet. If they do ever get something going, it should be a big boost to Xata's business. Fingers crossed.
As for losses, I'm glad that at least the reason for the losses is heavy R&D spending. That should pay nice dividends in the future. And Xata has years worth of cash, so funding that R&D should be no problem either.
Go Xata!
Yea, there is a new EOBR regulation. It was proposed by the FMCSA back in January of 2011. It applies to all interstate trucks and buses. This regulation was NOT put before any court.
http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/about/news/news-releases/2011/EOBR-Cornell-University-press-release.aspx
In November of 2011, the FMCSA stated it will re-write this proposed rule.
http://www.truckinginfo.com/news/news-detail.asp?news_id=75332
They will address the concerns the court had in the EOBR rule that only applied to carriers with 10% safety violations. That was the rule the court shut down.
Since then the FMCSA has held several public listening sessions for comments and concerns over the EOBR rule. Make no mistake, an EOBR rule covering all trucks and buses is coming. And soon.
Too bad XATA hasn't been able to capitalize on this yet. Losses, after losses, after losses....
And keep telling yourself that the convert holders are happy!!!! ROFLMAO!!! Let's see, they give XATA millions of $ combined, they are NOWHWERE NEAR being able to convert and sell their investment so they have to "stay with the program". ROFLMAO. Yea, that would make me happy!!!!
It can't be down more than 100% and there are no real new EOBR regulations as they were shut down by the court earlier.
The convertible is actually good because the convert holders are losing money as long as the price is below $3/share. So they're not going to convert. There's a strong incentive to "stay with the program". Xata has plenty of cash, so there's no real risk of a BK.
But there's no question that Xata has to find a way to profitability to get some interest going in the stock. That will bring some action, though it is a small player in a very niche market, clearly not a stock for everyone. I'm thinking 2012 is the year the company turns profitable (again).
GLTU.
Nah, see I can't ever look at this stock to buy. It's down over 100% in less then a year, in a time when EOBR regulations/demand is starting to heat up. XATA has how many millions of shares convertible into common at ridiculously higher prices, that will need to be addressed at some point. They lose money Q after Q, and their business model is flawed. For a supposed "real" stock on a supposed "real exchange", this stock has way too many issues for me!!!
Pennyland, XATA is knockin' on the door.
Xata trades in minuscule volumes, hence the price is all over the place.
Right now it trades at around its cash value and just a little above its working capital.
They are still losing money though. They've ramped up R&D spending the last couple of quarters though.
They have a somewhat unique niche using smartphones as part of the EOBR hardware, reducing the upfront cost.
The big question is whether they can either grow sales or cust SG&A and R&D to become profitable. If they can, particularly if they can grow sales significantly (they've been pretty flat the last 4 quarters), I think it's off to the races.
If not, my guess is a larger player buys them out at a premium to the current price, but nowhere near the $3/share that most of their convertible preferred converts at.
If there are ever EOBR mandates, it will help Xata immensely too, but I don't see that happening soon.
Bottom line, I think there's minimal risk and a modest upside, but it's not going to be a quick return or a 20-bagger. Xata isn't a P&D pinkie.
Lol! Plenty of room in Pennyland. I'm preparing the welcome party. Honestly though, where is the bottom? This eventually might be worth looking at.
What??? Shut the front door! XATA's new, new 52 week low!!! XATA trades at 1.05. ROFLMAO. Where's all the accumulators??? Oh, and all those convert holders have to be real happy XATA is staring at sub dollar prices!!!! What's their convert price again??? Pretty sure it ain't 1,05. ROFLMAO!
PENNYLAND,PENNYLAND. Make room for XATA!!
XATA down to 1.05 on the bid. Looks like all those "accumulators" have done stopped accumulatin'!!!! Let's all say it together, again.
PENNYLAND,HERE COMES XATA!!!
I can't see it going below $1, but you never know.
Where is the bottom here? 60??????
OOOHHH NNNOOO!!!! New 52 week low. XATA trades down to 1.12. Wow, for a supposedly real stock on a supposedly real exchange, this stock does nothing but trade down. Next stop, PENNYLAND!!!!!
