nice $1 + run up in the past week - even though the buys are coming in when there is no news and vise versa - that's the stock market for ya I guess. Either way, take a look at the message board on Yahoo about this stock - not too many people on ihub are talking about this one, but there is a lot of useful links and info on yahoo that you wouldn't normally find - good DD over there.
This thing is going to be huge in 2006 - they have a great deal of strategic partnerships in the works, a new mobile kit for rapid deployment purchased already for a "vital communications mission", patents for products that are nothing like their competitors, a FIPS-2 governmental milestone, and a growing work/sales force to market this disruptive technology - this is great. I would be a little worried about the burn rate - but with management, I don't see how they'll have to rely on diluting our stock to raise funds - these people seem to have many good friends/contacts/partners through many years of experience in all three markets plus telecommunications experience. I know if I had a lot of money and was looking to invest it somewhere I would love to give it to TKO in return for some beneficial shares of some sort. we'll see.
I had 1000 shares before these last couple of weeks when the price has shat the bed - I bought 450 more to make 1450 now. I found another message board on Yahoo about this stock - there are the normal morons who say that TKO is fake - but most are people who care about this thing and see the potential like I do. The news today about the new product was very good I think, 1st purchase of this product for a "vital communications mission" - probably IRAQ and AFghanistan type things.
TKO said they were helping in IRAQ a while back, and with these easy to use portable internet solutions from TKO - it's perfect for setting up communications in the middle of the desert - makes sense to me. IMO - this FIPS certification is huge - the government relies heavily on it - especially when there could be many interchangeable components - all should be FIPS certified I think. Either way, we need orders, I'm certain they'll come - however, with an ever increasing burn rate of about $3 million and with less than $10 million in cash - we'll need some financing soon. In looking at how good the management is, I feel as though they could probably find some private equity instead of diluting our shares, but you never know - if that happened, we would just have to wait longer. I'm going to really try and make some cash off of this thing, trying to accumulate maybe another 1000 - but I need to save some cash first.
All in all, we're looking good - especially today up 11%
hey nlightn - buy any moer this week? It's a good week to buy, even though some conmtract news would be good
technical analysis shows TKO having some support at these levels - Telkonet is currently trading at the 100 day moving average. However, there is more support within the $4.15 - $4.30 range where the 200 day moving average lies. I think when we see TKO get back to the $4.15 range, we'll also see a quick rise in the price, probably just over the $5 mark. Im going to try and get the balls to buy another 1000 shares at these levels (to make a total of 2000) so that I can make a couple grand when we see $5 again - very practical. On average, within the past couple of years of trading - TKO has peaked and valley'd around 3 or four times per year which makes for some exciting action to come, IMO. I almost want this thing to fall to $3 - I'd like to make some REAL cash
What do you think
Hey everybody - just checking in for happy hour - I wanted to talk about a very good long term pick that I have been following for a couple of years now.
Telkonet (TKO)
best site to check this thing out is http://www.cohenresearch.com/reports.php
this site shows research reports for various different companies - if you haven't heard of Cohen research, check out the owners BIO - he's done it all - talk about a hard working guy.
I got this tip from family a couple of years ago and the fundamentals are really there. Has anyone heard of this company? Essentially Telkonet is an internet provider, but it's very hard to explain the technology so read the report.
There was an excellent Webcast about the company and their patented products back in December of 2004 but it was only available for 90 days or I would have linked it up. However, at www.telkonet.com you can find all of the news releases (there isn't one negative piece of news in the entire three year archive) and a variety of other information.
i want people to get into this stock so that i'll have some people to talk about it with while I'm at work and so forth - I think the next few years will be big for this company mainly because they have started to market and sell their product. they have made it clear that their biggest problem in the future will be handling orders - after you take a look at this you'll know why. The EXTREMELY experienced management team at TKO has secured partnerships with the best of the best with this anticipation behind them - it looks very genuine.
Anyways, let me know what all of you think, this thing has a lot of potential and I'd like to get some others into it.
The quarterly report always scares people away - revenue looks to be improving but expenses are definitely not going to fall with the increase in marketing and International development. This looks good to me, i hope it falls into the three dollar range because it would be fundamental to buy a few thousand shares at $3 -$3.50 and watch it go to 6 dollars again. This will be a good pattern because there are many shares outstanding - but the company has a proven product.
People and institutions are buying this thing because of fundamentals (it's truly retarded not to have this service if you are in the market - it's the cheapest most cost effective way to obtain a safe, fast, internet connection). When the price runs up, there are thousands of others (IMO - mainly beneficial share owners) that are selling their shares because they have made a couple of million bucks (a million shares multiplied by a dollar or two run up in the market).
based on this - until Telkonet truly proves itself, or turns a profit, this pattern will be there - I would buy in the $3 and $4 range and look to sell in the $5.50 - $7 range in the short term. Long term is just as exciting because the management will soon take this company into profit IMO (within the next 2-4 years) - as long as one has the stomach for the above patterns to come, I don't think any of the prices that have come onto the ticker have been unreasonable. This is at least a $10 stock in 5 years IMO.
yeah, I'm sure I'll never see much from it - not to mention that its worth nothing and I have under a hundred shares of it - we should have shorted UCAD when it was @ $10 - oh well
does anyone remember when the UCAD stock will be unrestricted? It's not worth much but, what the hell
someone is selling in the past couple of days huh? Someone must need a new car or something - lots of shares, no bad news = someone selling for fun
Weird how TKO dropped 6% on good news - there's no explanation for it, I like the VAR the signed up though. This company NEVER has bad news. It should be one hell of a company in the next few years.
yup, theres been good news and the stock has been flat or down, which means that news is not enough, they need to make a profit. The forecast includes a profit of 12 cents/share for the fiscal year 2005 - so by the fourth quarter I would accumulate as much as possible, IMO. It'll be good
Yup, I think you're absolutely right. Either way, even with the United States, we'll do alright. It just goes to show you how big these guys are thinking into the future. The strategic partnerships and other alliances have geared the company up for the high demand they expect when the ball starts rolling - meaning that they have a really great strategy, the December 2ndf conference call explains this very well. The volatility is an added bonus if you ask me as well, because I feel as though I have the opportunity to make 10 - 15% in a day with this thing, and if I can't time the market I feel just as safe holding onto the stock until I get the returns I feel it deserves. IMO, this is a $20 stock in the next 3 years. I think that when the ball starts rolling and customers realize the true convenience and value (this could take some time, perhaps when the company first turns a profit and prove worthy to their future forecasts and intellectual property), this thing will take off. I would be worried only without good management, and this is something that Telkonet definitely has - many many years of experience and all within the most important industries (telecommunications, housing development, internet and VOIP technical management, etc.)
Ultimately, most companies fail even with a good product, mostly because of management - however, with the proper management, TKO can and will be a success IMO. I just take a look at what their actually doing and it makes sense. Also, a very good potential swing trade stock because the average daily volume is relatively low compared to the # of shares outstanding (about 600K-800K per day and over 15 million outstanding). Therefore, if someone with many shares decideds to sell 100K shares to buy a new condo, his trades will negatively affect the stock, but the fundamentals of Telkonet are still very much alive. If you miss, you can buy more and sleep well at night knowing that when companies realize the value in TKO and their future credibility, it will start to rise and be worth the investment, all IMO of course, but I'm confident.
Did you buy anyy of this yeat nighln??
looks like an oversold stock to me, Telkonet's shareholders must have over reacted to the concerns in the shareholders'letter IMO.
Nice post, I'm pretty sick of the CMKX BS as well, anyways, just curious to see whether or not you've abandoned SSWH after their announement to reverse split - what do you think, holdin or foldin? TIA.
that's the dumbest thing I've evr heard that RB poster say. He says that he would offer explanations to people who think DEbeers wouldn't be interested - then he goes on to say that "if we had the goods we would be trading much higher". This is exactly it, if there was a major find, there would be a lot more trading, people can't keep a secret that well. That's a fact if I ever heard one, funny stuff, seriously.
Has there been any new information indicating that CMKX has the goods, or are you blowing smoke up my ass? lol. No one in their right mind would believe that this thing is going to play out, after being through the last six or eight months of BS - therefore, the company would have to have proved that they currently "have the goods". If they did this, the price would quickly reflect the new valuation - and since the crap is still down at .0001/.0002, we are all just as screwed as we wer when this thing went to .012 back to .0001. IMO - but it makes NO sense any other way.
December 2nd conference call on Telkonet's break through technology - ver informative (found on TKOs website www.telkonet.com)
Telkonets technology isn't exactly BPL - BPL actually carries a signal throught the powerlines, as in down the street and around the corner. TKOs technology is much different and brilliant - listen to this call, it's great!
http://www.vcall.com/CEPage.asp?ID=89933.
I'm glad we've gotten this run up, I bought in over a year ago and have been waiting for the momentum to get going on this. Even still, I don't think the word is out on this out yet only because they aren't making any real money. Institutions are buying like crazy though, obviously, however IMO this is a $20 stock in three or so years. Every single piece of news is a big deal, strategic partnerships, conference calls that spur big buying, etc. If you haven't listened to the conference call on December 2nd, I would listen to it in order to fully understand the potential. The fact that Telkonet has this intellectual property that no one else has in the entire world is ridiculous. I think the CEO commented about the first quarter being significant within the December 2nd conference call, again, listen to this if you haven't, you'll want to buy more. Have you bought any? day trading? I'm just glad to see some interest on this board, I haven't understood why people wouldn't want to talk about this one. probably because most of the tips I've gotten on the ihub board are bogus BS pink sheet crap. This one's for real though.
Oh yeah, and it's up another 6% today after friday's 16% run up - gotta love it, lol.
want to invest, TKO is the palce to be right now, read the board, long term, huge potential
FYI: Johnny Cash is right in saying that Web Side Story is the best internet analysis and solution product out there, not sure if they are public company though
who cares about leadership investments, dumb ass
Hey mach, I got a new e-mail and just signed up again on your list, wondering whether or not I missed any e-mails regarding SSWH or CMKX within the past month, please post here if you do, I don't have PM anymore and don't necessarily want to throw out my e-mail to everyone, thanks buddy.
Nice article, not whether or not you know this, but TKO is not technically BPL - even though I may have thought this was the case at first too.
This conference call explains it best, CEO Ronald Pickett explains the patented technology that Telkonet invented - nothing like it in the world, and if there is, they would be infringing on TKOs intellectual property, check out this link and listen to the call if you have some time and are interested - it'll make you want to dump all your hard earned money into this stock
http://www.vcall.com/CEPage.asp?ID=89933
To explain TKOs technology to the best I can, they invented a gateway from a buildings electrical systems to the outlets within the building (this may be the technology briefly mentioned in the article). Essentially, the building hires an electrician to wire TKO's invention to the buildings electrical system which then enables every outlet in the building to possess the internet. An ethernet cable, or its equivalent, plugs into the back of your computer and plugged into a box that telkonet has also invented. A plug from the box into an electrical outlet allows us to search the net.
Security and speed aren't an issue with TKOs technology. It doesn't technically have a wireless component, therefore it is as secure as it gets, while just as fast as cable or anything else.
The genious lies in the prices. All the building needs for this technology is an ISP, which they can get from anywhere. For example: a building with 100 apartments gets an ISP for $500/month - after minor costs (for the electrician) and a one time fee of less than $200, TKO hooks up the building - every outlet in the entire building is now wired. The building "rents" the boxes for like 6$ a month, and they can enable or disable them whenever (if needed - unoccupied apartments, etc...). I pay $50/month for a cable modem right now, and people are willing to do so for the speed and reliability 0 100 apartments * $50 is $5K/month - huge margins. So TKO sells their product to ISP providers and the ISP providers can charge people as much or as LITTLE as they want - it's genious. CHeck out the conference call though, it really clears things up - big time long term investment. IMO this is going to $20 in the next few years, Q1 should be a good one as well,

Let me know what you think, this one could be huge
yup, it's just going to take some time - time will tell
I agree, when i said that they're being stingy, I mean for example: they buy one commercial that airs just once during the OC sometime in the summer i think - sounds like a great idea, but if they're going to do it, they should have had something like a 30 second spot after EVERY commercial break during that show, so that people actually get it into their head that this could be a good idea. One thirty second spot aired only once during one show won't make a difference IMO. Personally I think that it takes some aggressive persistant advertising for someone like myself to see this company as a good way to get games over the internet. Thoughts? Do you agree?
does anyone know the market cap on GZFX, or shares outstanding?
That's true, I even think they should wait longer in that respect. Their logistics aren't too good, I think they have realized what no due date for the movies and games can do to their selection and their inventory. In the latest news report, they highlighted their inability to be on time with deliveries, could be from people not returning the products when they may have thought. They have to wait until they get this under control, IMO. Then they can release the hounds, ie: spend millions and millions on a ridiculous ad campaign. It may be worth holding onto if you don't have much invested. My average price is like 14 cents on a few thousand shares, good thing I didn't bet the farm, but theres definitely no sense in selling it at such a low price
I guess that's true, GZFX could get to $2 just like SIRI did, it's just that SIRI had a lot more promotion, GZFX is being stingy with their ad dollars, IMO.
You're right about the advertising, they really need to come up with a serious ad campaign, even if it means raising a few million dollars and blowing it all. They need to be on TV every other commercial in order to get the attention. However, this is what GZFX needs at a MINIMUM because if/when Netflix, and now Blockbuster, sees GZFX as a threat they can quickly ad video games to their collection, which poses another problem. GZFX is a good idea, but the realsity is that anyone with money could put something together, they need to pull out all stops on the budgeting if they even want a chance in the market. All IMO, but makes sense to me.
FYI: you can't compare SIRI and GZFX because SIRI is increasing on the soul fact that Howard Stern will have a show on SIRI after the new year and he has over 15 million loyal listeners. SIRI needs only 1 million new subscribers to break even, after that everything is pure cash profit. Stern is a powerful man and will definitely bring at least 1 million just because he now has a show. This is why it has gone from $2 to $7.
pathetic, CMKX is history
FYI, it's hard enough to convict the financial white collar criminal community with obvious evidence (ie. Enron, Arthur Anderson, Fidelity, MFS Investments, now even insurance companies)nevermind the sketchy ass pink sheets where "investors" aren't making anywhere near the soundest decisions, or the most revenues possible - but perhaps the easiest. Obviously it's wrong, but thinking about it logically, it doesn't look good for the security of investors in CMKX like us. JMO.
OT: anyone looking for an excellent, long-term investment should take a look at TKO (i'm not spamming, this is for real, I know we could all use a nice secure Bone here, and this is it.) Mach - I think i threw you this bone over a month ago, it happens to be up over 100% since then.
You may think the run is over, but this is not a pink sheet, or other BS stock (trades on Amex currently at 4.45 (up 11% today)- institutions are buying like crazy, this is what provoked the recent run, take a look.
Here's a research report on TKO (independent research, TKO did not pay Cohen research for their efforts)
http://www.cohenresearch.com/reports/tko_04-19-04.pdf
there are also two other updated versions of the report on the cohen web site. click on research reports when you get to www.cohenresearch.com and scroll down, you'll see them.
Like i said, I just wanted to help out the board, I know it's been roigh, and we've all lost a lot of cash in this thing - this is a way to get it back IMO. GLTY all.
wow, this stock looking real good at this point, I noticed it was up another 11% today - TKO is up over 100% in just five weeks, and it's still cheap. There must be a lot of institutional buying, they have figured out the DISRUPTIVE potential of the plug plus system. A great long term stock still, the research report says pessimistic $8.00/share and optimistic over $24.00 by 2008 - NOICE
research report also says that Cohen research has been producing reports for over ten years and haven't seen a company with as much potential as Telkonet, very impressive - this is a $20 stock in the next few years, IMO.
If you look back to the research report you'll find a few problems with wi-fi that Telkonet can solve.
A big issue with wireless technology is security, especially within the hotel industry where business men and women use the internet the most. These people have to be very careful about leaking company information. Within the wireless sector, it is easy for a hacker to find out what you are looking at and/or researching and with telkonet's technology this isn't a problem. Furthermore, many users at hotels have complained about abruptly losing the signal, which can obviously be desruptive and annoying. With telkonets system, you will never lose the signal - telkonet's service is similar to wireless in its portability, but will not lose the signal and possesses top knotch security.
Perhaps in the future wireless will become better than it is currently, however I can't see how they could secure their lines with a wireless signal. Either way, it will take a long time for things to change. For example, in the cable tv industry there already exists HD and satellite type services but the existing companies are still using CAT5 wires. WHY? Because they have invested hundreds of millions of dollars for their services and are going to make them last for as long as possible, as long as they can hold off and switch to something new and better.
Telkonet on the other hand is something new and better, but utilizes the existing wires that are already available to the consumer through their existing cable and telephone wires that go to the building or development. Therefore, EVERYONE that would consider wi-fi now has the opportunity to consider the same type of system without the problems - for less money and less time for installation - everyone wins in the end. Hope this helps.
Telkonet Receives the 2004 Cornerstone Award for Technology Innovation

At this point, I wish i had kept my money in a mutual fund throughout the past year - ha, but that's me. I'm not bashing this thing either, I'm just sick of trying to find the good, so don't get too defensive with me, I'm not trying to sway anyone to do anything, I'd like to see some diamonds just as much as you would. Everything is IMO just as you said, it should be as obvious for you to see that everything I write is my opinion as it is for me to see it - but that is also my opinion. GL

Anyone serious about this sector that has some cash should check this one out. I've been averaging down for the past year or so, I'm in the hole on this one right now, but check it out. I've included a link to an INDEPENDENT research report.

hey what for, just looks gloomy
