Exactly, it's as if he thinks NEOM accounting is done with crayons or something. None of these companies that they've acquired are large mutlinationals in and of themselves. This type of consolidation is as easy as breathing for those skilled in the art. I'm sure NEOM is on top of it and will integrate the financials and reporting without any issues. Has it been an issue in the past? Why would it be in the future? Some folks stating their concerns or projecting things that haven't happened as FACTS should ring out loudly to everyone what their intentions are.

Not in my streetsmart pro screen either, but I did get a schwab alert at 11 this morning.
Wow, only $500k cash, the rest in stock!
I was almost disappointed this morning when I checked and there weren't any PR's, but not for long!
They (Scanbuy) hasn't made any moves like this. I guess no one wants to get in bed with them or they don't have the same vision of the marketplace as NEOM.
At least the higher volume helps keep things on an even keel if that's what is happening. If it is Cornell selling into the PR headwind, I wonder how much we'd have gone up without their selling? My thoughts are into the mid 40's, but that and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee.
Perhaps we need some really really bad news released so this puppy can move up!
GONEOM, I was thinking that maybe 12Snap has been ongoing for a couple of months, but they didn't announce anything so as to not have the same problem we did with Mobot, also a private company, affecting the BSDS deal.
OT: Free, proported longs who shout out their dispair about this company remind me of Gollum and his split personality. It must be rough owning a stock you think sucks.
That would bring one half of the mobile marketing pie to NEOM. I wonder why Neven isn't on the charts?
Do you think that the fact the NEOM specifically mentioned Sponge indicates its being done or finalized? I don't know why else they would have mentioned another company like this in their PR.
Exactamundo. Does anyone know if Sponge is a public or private entity? I'm amazed at how quick the 12Snap deal will close. But perhaps they've waited to annouce it so as to avoid the dreaded QP leapfrog game we've just finally come out of.
The 20 years from filing was used in our instance. OT: the risk is in filing a patent that requires numerous rewrites and back and forth arguments with the USPO. The time to issuance eats into your window if you will.
On the extension, it really has to be something unique and more importantly, offer a distinct advantage to the market in order to be enforceable. An example, our company licensed a patented product line used on the rig floor. About 5 years into our agreement they "patented" an slight improvement in a very small portion of their process and were awarded a new patent. They tried to get us to remain under the licensing agreement due to an "extension" of the patent. The problem was that their new patent had no useful application, thus no legal extension.
Someone of much higher IP IQ needs to chime in on how NEOM extends their IP life. One could possibly assume that the new patent on the explicit use of camera phones is an example.
That doc is almost 10 years old, I'm not sure if the law is the same or not.
Brew, let's let an expert chime in on this one. I'm not one but I've participated in several patents and the law has changed a few times on the life span. I believe now a filer can elect or the law allows for the longer of 2 time lines, starting from either the date one files for a patent or the date a patent is issued. My patents were applied for in 1989 and were awarded in 1990, and they run until 2009. I think its 19 or 20 years from filing date, and/or 17 or 18 from the issue date.
The effective life of a patent can be extended by improvements to the original design or concept that are unique and not covered or anticipated in the original patent. For instance, in my case the patents were in the oilfield, we made an improvement on an existing patented process and the combination allowed for a new patent to be issued. That is not an easy thing to do, but it can be done.
OT: The wait untils are simply those posters opinions, right or wrong. The only opinion that counts is your own, so what do you care what others opine? Aparently you are letting the wait untils influence your decision. If you feel like you say you feel about this stock then your continued ownership makes absolutely no sense.
Perhaps they're looking for a patent abuse angle here?
My schwab streetsmart is all over the place as well.
Texas? Great, now I have to move ; ). Where bout's you move in Texas?
Now THAT'S funny!
I think the VP Bus Dev job was originally posted a couple of months ago, but I could be wrong about that. SOG wants the Corp Communications gig, which is the latest one.
So Rick must the the person who took the VP job offered on NEOM's website.
Welcome, hope to meet you in LV in 06!
Saw that from you in a previous post. I'm also assuming that now as a holder of greater than 5% of the O/S, they'll have to report any sales until they fall under 5% right? At least we'll know when it is happening this time.
Thanks for clarifying, sorry about my repetitive post.
OK, pardon a really stupid question but I'm feeling lazy after kicking back a couple cools ones. Does this also mean that all the warrants that the insiders own are also considered in the O/S?
Brew, don't they have to say they intend to sell. Everyone intends to sell at some point. Does Cornell HAVE to sell? What's the point of owning something and saying you don't intend to sell. I can't imagine them boxing themselves in like that. I think you are assuming (correct me if I'm wrong) that they will sell, and do so quickly; and Success is stating that they don't have to if they don't want to, which is where I'm leaning. It would seem that Cornell would want to maximize their return on investment. Selling 20 million right away would seem contrary to that goal. All JIMHO of course.
I had the same thing happen yesterday. Had an order in at the ask and it didn't get filled. I had to go a half a cent higher to get it filled, and even then it took a while. MM's have a license to steal.
OT: One cannot jump to one extreme without legitimizing the others. Why not let him defend himself before pronouncing him guilty?
Perhaps all he was saying is that it is wise to get ones legal advice from an attorney and one's auto repair advice from a mechanic. It must be this boards time of month or something.
As Drmyke posted, being early is putting yourself in an uncomfortable position. I liken it to Steve Martin in The Lonely Guy when he asks for a table for 1. We put ourselves in the spotlight with those who we share our thoughts with regarding this company. Some of them look at us funny, others join us for the wait.
Thanks, huge is a very subjective number, one man's mountain is anothers speedbump if you will.
Brew, what is your definition of huge volumes? From a $ standpoint I don't feel that the run to the mid 70's was on that huge of a volume in $ compared to the market cap.
OT:Jonsie/Chartist
Where can a person unskilled in the art of TA go to get good screening mechanisms to find stocks that have just broken above resistance lines? I've always felt that that was a good entry point as Chartist pointed out, I just don't have the time to screen the universe of stocks to look for such situations. Is there perhaps a TA newsletter or service who alerts investors to such opportunities?
One form of "dilution" that I don't mind at all!
IMO the expectation that this would close was already baked in the pps. I think what's more important is that the PR looked much more forward looking and definitely was promoting the company, something they told us to look for signaling the end of the QP. That means more PR's and more visibility, then you'll see the PPS hold up better and potentially increase.
Plus we're getting something for the shares being issued, not going to pay the light bill.
IMO as with Moore's law, it will take a bit, but it will be exponentially faster than similar tasks have taken in the past. I remember just a year ago where camera phones were, and they've improved and continue to improve at a faster and faster pace. It will be here sooner than some think.
So if your portfolio is in the $175k range using your example (4 $300 days and 1 $1000 day a week), what % do you have in NEOM?
