You should be ok...Just hold. The story should begin to unfold next year with profitability and then earnings/revenue growth.
Neon appears to be bottoming, but may go a little below $3. If all that mgmt has indicated is true (monitors/AIOs/PCs, all the announced car infotainment, steering wheels and button replacement in cars, additional printers, etc.) and actually occur, then we should move towards double digits sometime next year.
Clog, If Neonode gets a significant piece of the PC/monitor/AIO business, (as is expected) we will absolutely rocket....large $$$ going straight to bottom line, not to mention the visibility it will give IR tech for other applications. We should soon get a glimpse of things to come at Computex. GL
cloq, Neon will still lose money in Q1, but should easily beat expectations. CC should be fun for longs!
clog, analysts only are expecting $2.22M in Q1 revs. Neon should easily beat, assuming that engineering fees stay at $500k. No one expects profit until late 2015. The cat is now out of the bag regarding many of the autos with Neonode and the CC's just get better and better, imo. This chart will look like a big check mark an a couple years.
Volvo (Geely) is one, who is the other auto company? Thx.
HP printers ramping, autos starting to ramp, PC's on the horizon. Q3 revenues showing improvement. Engineering fees show they are busy, apparently with auto application. Revenues will go straight to bottom line once profitable, so doubt much downside, but tremendous upside for 2015, imo.
PC announcement looming and will lift SP, IMO.
Here's a recent Kobo e-reader (with ir touch) review:
http://ereadthis.com/?p=3779
Listen to the video and you will see that Neon is still relevant in the e-reader business. Amazon bought a touch screen tech company 2-3 years ago and switched to their technology because they own it, not because it is so much better.
Short interest still going up....3,648,800 as of 9/14. It went up 350,000 shares in the prior 10 trading days. I expected that they would begin covering.
This stock is oversold and any news will push it higher. Q3 earnings will be mediocre at best, but forward guidance should be interesting with all the design wins beginning to come to fruition.
A surprise announcement regarding patent litigation or a deal with Nokia or Motorola would catch the shorts with their pants down.
Joe, If there were a less expensive way to convert a low end phone to touchscreen, we would see it. The conversion is easy, especially since Neonode has already made this type of phone. It simply needs updating to today's look. Mark my words, Neon will get a piece of this market...How much and for how long, I don't know. Ultimately, technologies do change and advance, and ir touch will need to stay current and relevent.
In the US, phones are heavily subsidized by phone companies via 2 year agreements. In other countries, especially those less affluent, these lower end and feature phones are very cost and feature sensitive. (i.e....People buy the most phone for their money) I fully expect that if all other features are the same, most people would prefer a touch phone for the same price.
I have read that Samsung is working on their own proprietary way of providing a low cost touch phone, but there are a lot of companies in this market place, and most don't have their own proprietary solution. This is where Neon will come into play...imho. These companies will need a low cost touch product to compete with Samsung or they will perish...imo
Remember, the e-reader market will mature at an estimated 50 million units sold per year. The low end/feature phone is currently at 1 billion units per year. This market growth is slowed by the smart phone, but it is still growing. A 5% market share in this market is 50 million units, or over 5 times the number of e-readers currently containing Neonode. (I beleive that they recently announced selling their 10 millionth unit). Add to this a 5% market share for the smart phones, currently at 600 million units per year (to convert them to e-readers) for another 30 million units.
By the way, using Neonode's solution to convert low end phones to touch phones gives the purchasing company the extra benefit of using "slide to unlock" without worry of patent issues with Apple (since NEON owns the patent).
Joe 1988, How do you know that "Now there isn't only competition there is something way better" Amazon bought the company that makes this new interface back in Feb. 2010. They have planned for this for a while. It is proprietary, so that other companies can't use it or even copy it. It is unclear how the market will respond to it or if it is stable in cold weather. The e-reader market is growing in other countries where Amazon is not so dominant.
From my standpoint, the money is in other markets...specifically cell phones. Neon has the potential to upgrade the low end or feature phones to touch phones for about the same cost. ~1 billion of these phones were sold last year. Neon mentioned Nokia and Motorola in the last cc. In addition, there is a growing demand to use smart phones as e-readers. The problem, however, is that smart phones have too short of battery life for this purpose. Neon offers a solution by using it's technology to allow smart phones to convert to ir touch for the e-reader function. This would then require minimal battery consumption. Apple is moving in this direction, but has it's own proprietary means to accomplish this. There were over 600 million smart phones sold last year.
IMO, just sit back and wait for another 1-2 quarters and I believe that we will have announcements in this market. GLTA
Hey nwsun, It's not just the little guys getting hurt here. This company has over 60% institutional ownership...http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/pcxcq/ownership-summary.
These are large institutions. I would expect that they will demand a seat at the bargaining table. They will represent themselves and thereby represent us as we all own common shares. GLTA
Familyguy, I'll meet you at the Crabtrap. It's in Somer's Point, though, not OCNJ. We have a condo in Ocean City. Besides, no booze allowed on Ocean City.
jhall0326, I agree with you IF the process in fact works. Do we have any independent validation that CATA's process for gold extraction works and is cost effective in large scale? Thanks.
I got the sense that Henry expects funding in a few weeks, but did not want to commit to being definitive about saying in a few weeks. He clearly was hedging this question.
familyguy, I listened to the conference call and the speaker was very careful to not put a specific timeframe other than "soon". In fact, he even mentioned that the company did not want to be criticized for hyping the stock by giving a specific timeframe and then not be able to deliver. Someone asked a question to try to further pin him down, and there was a suggestion of maybe something in coming weeks, but the reply seemed purposefully evasive.
I did get the impression that the company has several irons in the fire and that there could be a number of announcements coming. I felt better about this investment after the CC, especially after the Laos deal fell apart. I believe that CATA SP will hover around this level pending news. If announcements of deals are made, the SP will react. I believe that it will require a bit of patience for a few months, however.
realwill, I listened to the entire conference call and your summary accurately reflects everything that was said. I got the sense that they have many irons in the fire, but are reluctant to make any announcements until agreements are signed.
I have questions for the board. If CATA is reluctant to set up a facility where their process of extracting gold and other elements from ore may be copied or stolen, then exactly how do they plan to do business in South East Asia? Do they plan to ship tons of raw ore to the US? Does anyone have a sense of exactly how this process is done? I'm not trying to pry away company secrets, but just get a sense of how the process works to better understand it's feasibility. From what I have read, gold leaching is inefficient and not cost effective. Does anyone know what CATA is using as the leaching agent?...cyanide, thiouria, bromine, chlorine, etc.? Has anyone seen the inside of the facility? Is it a small lab for experiments or an industrial size structure where tons of material can be processed? I am unabelto find any reference to their patent applications. Has anyone seen them? Thanks...just trying to do some additional DD before buying more.
Bloom, I agree with you and am long LQMT, but specifics of sales and marketing are pure fiction and should be prefaced as such.
Shobert, Let's face it, the application of LQMT technology as it applies to Apple products is pure speculation. We don't know if it will show up in the internal workings, the case, the battery, or whatever for Apple products. In addition, if Apple comes up with an incredible application that offers benefits over existing technology, then Apple will receive the lion's share of any royalties from any other company that chooses to use this technology since Apple will own the patents. I expect, however, that LQMT will receive some revenue from product shipped. I do not believe that this product will be "picked up by almost all manufacturers" unless royaltees are agreed upon and paid (to Apple).
I believe that there are many other applications for LQMT technology that are as yet undiscovered or are in early stage develoment and as such discussion of same are not showing up on stock message boards. I expect to see these applications unfold over the next 6-12 months...IMHO.
Sorry but it did not come out right, but go to NASDAQ.com, enter SAPX, click on SEC filings, then click on form 4-a filed 12/12/2011 and you will see that Love is accurate.
DMX concerts are sold out and CD sales should equal or exceed prior releases. His road tour success illustrates that he is anything but a has been and his new CD is highly anticipated. He served his time and will resurrect his career with enthusiasm and success whether you like it or not.
Since SP is a function of supply and demand, I am hopeful to see 2 things happen. First, revenues coming into SAPX will finally reduce or eliminate the need for the company to sell shares and keep a lid on supply. Secondly, PR's reflecting deals and anticipation of higher revenues should cause an increase in demand. These factors should soon be reflected in SP...IMHO
More like 90-10 in favor of extension.
MT, Great find!! It appears that SAPS has delayed the release of the new album in order to change the content from a rehash of old music to new, previously unreleased content. This would be definitely worth the wait, but hopefully only a short delay.
Thanks Green, I hope that your trades on SAPX comtinue to make you some money.
Thanks nhden, This was a great find, but probably not an issue for DMX. What is the concensus for earnings for Q2,3,and 4? I expect very little earnings in q2 (reporting next week), early ramp up in q3 and acceleration in q4. In addition, we should learn about Neuromancer et al (hopefully) soon.
A "crap" filing is expected and should not impact share price. Revenues begin this quarter and accelerate into next quarter as was declared by management.
SBC, Large companies have in house PR personel that usually have a strong fundamental knowledge of what is happenning with their company. Small companies (like SAPX) outsource the PR function to a PR company. I have yet to speak to an outsourced PR person that has any valuable knowledge of the company that is paying them. I stopped calling these companies long ago as they have never told me anything that I did not already know. They are like an answering service for a doctor. In the same way that a rude person at an answering service reflects poorly on an unsuspecting doctor, your experience with the PR person unfairly provides you with negative bias about SAPX located 2000 miles away.
Secondly, enough already about the date to file an extension. It will get done before or when it is due. Investors understand this. The company's job is not to placate flippers.
I agree with your predictions of future SP, but Newbies may not appreciate the insincerity of your post.
Mastertrader, Why the change in heart? You seemed to believe that SAPX was headed higher just days ago?
Not clear to me, Love, What is your entry point? Thanks
Thanks, your opinion is appreciated. I will watch SAPX closely.
Sorry, I mean SAPX.
Dr_pennystock, I saw you on the SAPS board and appreciate your technical insight. What is your view of this company at this point? Thanks.
WeAre....I couldn't tell. Is this October article unauthored? or was it Leslie Howard's first microcap report? Also, the pump and dump report isn't exactly the WSJ...
Seems like a no name writer in a no name publication read by those that won't even put their own NaMe on a message board.
Prior increases in OS were to pay down debt. I believe that this is for acquisition. The OS are still low and the SP should benefit from the new acquisitions.
The increase in OS is more likely related to stock equity transfer for the purchase of the music busines, not dilution. Dilution is selling shares and spending the money for daily needs. Done properly, buying another company with shares increases shareholder value, not dilutes or decreases.
I don't see anything worrysome, just the cost of doing busines. Why haven't you mentioned the $20 mil suit pending to benefit SA
PX?...MUCH larger than the peanuts issues that you mention.
