Mr. Davault is now gone too. I would really like to know what's going on with EKSO. Is this housecleaning by new investors (Wang and Co.) because of poor performance or are all these people displeased with the direction of the company?
I can understand that there will be turnover as a company grows and matures but this is A LOT of people leaving in a short period of time.
Anybody able to find out some info on what is behind this?
By the way, I picked up another small amount at $1.51 like I said I would. See if we test $1.40 area. If so I will be adding more.
What reason would cause it to drop to $1.00. Hope is not a good investing stategy. If bad news come out to drive this down to $1.00 I don't think I want to be in it. We may see a drift lower but as I said before I think there is far too much support at $1.40.
I believe the the shareholder meeting to vote on the the proposal is just part of the agreement made to settle the lawsuits that were filed against them earlier. It is actually a re-vote of the proposal that had been voted on and approved by shareholders some time ago. This is not an new proposal. This was all explained in a filing months ago.
That may be, that is why I only put a small amount in. It was more or less to have something in the game in case there was some kind of move. I have plenty still on the side should it fall back to 1.30 or even 1.00. I really don't think we will see $1. I think there are many more people in this than there were back when it was $1 before. Support is stonger at higher levels.($1.40)
Remember, I am working with $10,000 of house money. I can afford to give a little back for the upside potential.
Back in with a small position at 1.61...if we break back down to 1.50 area I will pick up some more. I just feel it is worth having a little bit in just in case a "tweet" comes out...lol...or if real news comes out.

-.13 /share vs. -.115 expected
Now that it jumped above $1.60 I hope we get another chance. I already have the buy in. May have to move that up again if it holds here a bit.
Back when this R/S and was at $7 and sliding, rather than dollar cost averaging down I set stop losses to limit any loss and then waited a bit, letting it continue it's slide, then bought back in and set stop loss, it stopped out again, I waited a while, it kept sliding then I got back in. By then it was in the 1.20-1.40 range. I bought in at 1.18 and when it double it got out, waited for it to come back down, got back in at 1.18 again and doubled again and got out. Then bought in at 1.00 and then tripled my shares during the rights offering. My intent was to hold long but when it spiked to 4.00 on the Ford article (not really much behind the move) I got out because it rose too far too fast. I have been sitting on the sidelines since waiting for a specific entry point. I thought we were headed toward it but then the tweet came out (again, not much behind the move) and the stock jumped again.
I have since decided to raise my buy in price because I am begining to strongly believe the 1.40 level has too much support for me to wait for a lower price. I hate being on the sidelines with this stock.
Rhet...This was released between the 2 examples you posted...May 2015
https://ir.eksobionics.com/press-releases/detail/548/eksotm-labs-secures-third-contract-with-the-u-s-special
I did find this....you have to go to the second last line of the article...
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-business/wp/2014/08/18/lockheed-martin-awarded-contract-to-test-iron-man-type-exoskeletons/?utm_term=.9ee289acc1f4
Unlike Fortis, the TALOS program is aimed at battlefield-specific applications. Lockheed Martin is working with SOCOM separately in that regard, Miller said.
Although I have not seen a company release that stated that Lockheed Martin is involved with TALOS they were on the SOCOM list of TALOS colaborators. You also have the line; from the link that I posted the other day, that abira mentioned... “Lockheed and the Company have co-exclusive rights to military markets through 2017. So long as certain annual minimum obligations are met, Lockheed will obtain exclusive rights to the government market after 2017.”
https://www.lockheedmartin.com/us/products/exoskeleton/military.html
Seems to me that Lockheed has the lead when it comes to TALOS
I believe EKSO has worked with Lockheed on HULC and Fortis, they may be contributing is some way now but I don't think it is their suit. Just my opinion.
Keeping with my "battleground" analogy...Looks like we have moved to 1.40-1.50 and 1.45 will be a temporary defensive standoff before the retreat to 1.40.
The question will be if we hold 1.40 or not. If not I think it will be an all out retreat to 1.30...A defeat at 1.30 would send us back home to 1.00-1.10 to recover and think about the fight ahead.
Of course this all changes if we get re-inforcements in the form of news. (or tweets)
Sorry, just trying to keep it interesting.

I may be completely wrong but I get the sense the EKSO in not involved...either way I am not basing my decision on their possible military end, for me it's the medical and industrial areas that are the drivers.
abira...Funny you pointed that out...that was the one line that jumped out at me too
pages 180-189...looks to be info up to late 2105...I'll keep searching to see if I can find updates or follow up info to the following link

Bobby...Thank you for your response and input.
I would guess that trying to gather research for an article on military exoskeletons would be very time consuming and difficult due to the sensitive nature. What little anyone would be willing to release would probably be generic in nature. Chasing down all the tidbits of info would probably lead to a bunch of dead ends.
I see many posts on message boards where they seem to be hanging their hats on TALOS when they talk about EKSO...For all we know, EKSO may not even be involved anymore.
Can anyone privide CURRENT evidence of EKSO being actively involved and to what extent, in the TALOS program. Everything so far is years old, I would think that the company would mention it somewhere, even if just a reference to it now and then if details cannot be commented on. Their association should show up in research of TALOS, Warrior Web, etc.
This is from and article 21 Mar'18...
Officially dubbed TALOS, the Iron Man program is an effort to provide better protection and situational awareness. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Allie Moon, deputy to the TALOS project’s chief engineer, said a prototype should be ready for demonstration sometime this summer. It will include a power supply, visual augmentation and a base layer that fits underneath the suit. The exoskeleton system, designed to help commandos with the heavy loads they must carry, should be ready some time next year, she said.
Gadg3t...thanks for the reply, the order did finally go through. I believe it was a combination of 1 and 2. Now just waiting for my entry point with EKSO so that I get back in.
To anyone who may also post on Stock Twits, if you are one of the ones asking why EKSO is not moving up or why it is moving down, look back at the movement of the stock BEFORE the tweet. (which gave no real news but everyone jumped on it)
The stock was breaking down, it was at $1.43 and threatening to break below the $1.40 support before the tweet came out. If you remove the tweet which; again, said nothing, why would you expect that it would not return to the previous heading and pattern?
Without news, we will once again test $1.40. If that does not hold, it should be quickly to $1.30 where it was shortly and rebounded. That may be a good spot to start nibbling, but I would keep an eye on how quickly it moves to that point. It may hold or may be back to $1.00-$1.10 quickly. That is where I would load up.
If you get some at $1.30, you at least have something in EKSO just in case another tweet comes out and it spikes again, but be aware that the chart pattern would be against you at that point.
I read the RWLK conference call transcript. My take is that in comparing it to the EKSO transcript, there is much more information and sense of direction given in the RWLK transcript. Not as vague as EKSO, it doesn't leave you guessing what may be going on.
The problem with using % triggers with this (and other) stocks with small $ P/S amounts is that they can make a sudden jump upward that triggers the buy or sell, but then quickly returns to where it was, locking you in or out of the stock. Depending on the % amount you set you may end up with a loss. That works in reverse if you use the % trailing stop loss. You may get stopped out and then the P/S quickly returns and now you are locked out.
A good example was the last EKSO move. Using a 15% trigger would have gotten you in a bit late on the move, you would have been up slightly for a very short time and then lost it all and more when it came back down. Then you are stuck in at a level you didn't intend to be in at.
Hope that makes sense.
I cancelled the order and resubmitted, in the special instructions box it has NONE...AON...FOK...I left it as NONE, so it was submitted the same way as before.
I knew about the AON, but I didn't see any box to change it. I will have to check again. Thanks
I have a trading question...If I have a 5000 share buy order in at a certain price and a stocks bid is that same price and the stock has traded 10 times at that price during the day, why hasn't my trade gone through (or a partial trade)?
The B/A size is 83200/50900
This is not actually related to what EKSO does but it's still part of the industry...Wish it was around a few years ago, before I messed up my left thumb/hand due to repetative stress injury.

Looks like we are back to 1.50 and 1.60 being the battleground.Bouncing higher after touching 1.50 and being rejected after touching 1.60.
If it breaks below 1.50 the battleground moves to 1.40 and 1.50...seen this so many times before. I wish it would break 1.40 and get it over with.
Hope you got out
quickly...I don't think it's quiete over yet. Once charts get back to the pattern they were displaying. Test 1.40 again?
Pennyworld...For this exact reason!...I can feel very comfortable today while all the bagholders are eating Tums and Rolaids.
I will wait for REAL news. I may be late to the party but it will be one that goes on for a while.
Now back to watching the charts (excluding the false blip) and trying to figure out just how much support there is and at what level.
This spike could actually have caused people who were part of the support level (1.40-1.60) to cash in and now have been replaced with less convicted bagholders who will at some point cut there losses.
No way of knowing how much support the true news release will generate.
So it's back to the waiting game.
EB...I agree with everything you said.
Papa...I don't know if this news will create a higher bottom range but it should at least reinforce the bottom of the range it was about to break below before the Tweet came out. (that being the 1.40 mark)
