Sonny,
I`ve looked at your Ronald Reagan lookalike picture again, I reckon he must use Grecian 2000 or similiar, as those are not real eye brows are they?
I wore some of those stick ons when I went to a fancy dress party last year as Groucho Marx!!
All have a great weekend and no hard feelings colormixer, but you have given me a hard time this last year and it wears thin. I can take things on the chin, but sometimes, it just gets too much and I feel why should I try and help anymore, but for your info, I don`t think you have much to worry about and by October it will all become clear.
I even feel that Q3 won`t be as good as was first thought, as I don`t feel revenue levels will be all that great, but I do believe in my heart of hearts, that Q4 going forward will be fantastic and will only build into Q`s 1 + 2 next year, we will be seeing the long awaited revenues, we will be seeing more and more deals coming to the table, some small, some big, but TKO is now the stock I wanted it to be almost 2 years ago.
It`s been a long time coming, but we are here and on the cusp of great things. I just wonder how much better things would have been if FIPS hadn`t taken almost a year and we were a year ahead, as competition is coming, the technology is getting great coverage now and more so with the advent of Motorola coming into the arena and I just hope it gives TKO the much needed kick up the jacksy that it needs to stay competitive and be at the forefront of the technology they were pioneers of.
Enjoy the coming weeks, enjoy the paper money it will put in your pockets, but longer term, the much rumoured buyout seems to be coming more to the fore and if it is to happen, I could see this happening as soon as 2nd quarter 2007, so if these rumours of $20`s, $30`s, $40`s for a buyout come to fruition, will you feel bad you held a pretty much dormant stock for 3 years and get a 650% to 1400% return on your money, I certainly won`t be!! i.e. stock price closed $2.66 yesterday and this parameter between $20 and $40.
Lots can happen in between, what if Ron takes a buyout early at say $10, would you still be disappointed, in a roundabout way, I would and I would feel cheated a bit on a stock I have held for almost a few years, but then, a profit is a profit.
Don`t forget that Ronald Reagan has 3 million shares, that`s a lot of money at $10`s, but a hell of a lot more at the higher buyout figures I have heard.
I have also heard rumours of a stock price between $15-$20`s by years end, that I don`t believe, maybe $7 to $10, but the EDS contracts will take 90-120 days to come to fruition, that`s the end of the year, so realistically, I think real revenues won`t start coming into TKO until very very late December 06, but start gathering momentum moreso from Jan 07 onwards, new 85 chip will be out, the technology will move forward, the home residential markets will come to the fore, several other bits and bobs, of which I think you now all know about, as has been talked about on the Yahoo board for quite a while now.
I`m waffling now, well probably several paragraphs before, but I am so very bullish about TKO for the coming next 3 quarters, I find it hard to control my excitement.
Ther you go, I`ve smiled so big, I`ve just got lipstick on my ears!!
Have a good day and weekend and sorry for the long post.
Take care,
Christine x
Sonny and Sirius,
I think you`ll find that TKO is in many, many countries including the Far East.
Christine x
Ron looks like Ronald Reagan in that picture, sure it`s Ron Pickett??
Christine x
Sonny,
Ron is done and dusted and on his boat!!

Unfortunately not Colormixer, you know my reasons!!

Twas a pleasure!!

Sonny--off topic
One last thing before I retire for the night, you e-mailed me under the private list, but as I don`t nor want to subscribe, I cannot respond to your answer as have to subscribe for that service.
e-mail me at gorgeouslonglegs@yahoo.co.uk and I`ll respond tomorrow.
Night,
Christine x
Sonny,
Thanks, will sort it, thanks for letting me know how to stop having to wade through all the charts e.t.c. everytime as unfortunately I am not a charts person but fundamentals, Tony will tell you that.
Late here, gone 11pm, off to bed, nunnights everyone!!
Christine x
Not filled yet, holding out to see if it goes lower short term, dropped mine back to $2.65, don`t know about Sirius, think she mentioned leaving it at $2.80.
Got to go and see some developers now!!
Christine x
Open for discussion!!!
Electrobroadband just posted an excellent post on Yahoo and I think this opens up the Motorola thing for discussion!!
Here`s my response to nthomp and you can get the gyst from this:-
nthomp,
I think Electro has brought up a good subject about Motorola re-selling the TKO plug and 85 chip and re-branding it under their own name, hence no patent infringement, as TKO are supplying the goods but feeding the opposition, but goes on in all industries and maybe TKO feel if this is the case, the market is big enough for all to trade in, but I would prefer to see TKO have a bigger slice of the cake, albeit they are without the hassles of selling the product, advertising e.t.c. to the residential markets.
p.s.
I think you will find there is conflicting info coming out from the two IR firms re forthcoming events e.t.c.
Christine x
Colormixer,
I know, I am trying to get Yahoo to blank the news today, I managed to get them to stop access to all message boards yesterday, so might be lucky today if I ask them nicely!!
Take care,
Christine x
Tony,
I have the alarm on upstairs, but not down, allowing the dogs to move about, but no, they didn`t bark, but then there was no one downstairs last night bar me in the end!!
Is a Bobby Stick what we call a trundgeon?? I have looked into one of those Tazars you have over there, but our laws are totally different to yours.
If I hit someone with a metal bar who broke into my house, then I would be sued for grevious bodily harm, we cannot defend our homes, they can break in, attack us and run away, and if caught, generally they get community service, the laws have gone crazy over here and the do gooders are making the baddies so well protected, but I still wouldn`t think twice about hitting someone in my house if it meant protecting my kids, regardless of the circumstances.
Take care,
Christine x
Tony,
It`s late here, 1.22am as I write, heard noises downstairs, came down, all ok, but was very nervous as you may recall I got broken into earlier this year.
Anyway, STD is not a new stock ticker for me, on Yahoo there is a poster called Steeltowndog and on here it is Steelcitydog, so I was asking if it was the same person, aka Tim, don`t know if it is or not, Tim please advise.
Steeltowndog on Yahoo I nicknamed STD, nothing to do with nasty diseaess!!!
I`m back off to bed as up at 6am!!
Yahoo still not up and running!!
Christine x
No Sonny!! Nothing attached, but I thought I read that was only available if you subscribed!!
Christine x
Steelcitydog,
What happened to STD? My order wasn`t filled on Friday, didn`t put an offer forward today as been sitting back and watching, closed slightly down on Fridays $2.87.
Will sit it out again tomorrow and see how the market settles down during the day and decide if I enter or not.
Christine x
Thanks Tony!! Good old Yahoo having a bit of a to do today it appears!!
p.s.
Windsor Eye/Ferris Wheel was excellent at night!!
Christine x
Do your markets close at 3pm today or is Yahoo having a few teething problems today.
Just checked, the time was 12.19 and it stated the markets close in 2hrs and 41 mins, that makes it 3pm!!
Please advise?

Sonny,
If it touches $12`s, I will be dollaraire on TKO on current holding, this extra 30k shares is for the car, nothing else, so hope it works out.
$6.90 by Jan 07 buys the car from this current buy I wish to do and returns my £40,000 investment and leaves my existing shares untouched.
I have a 5yr target on my shares of $5 million, which equates currently to £2.66 million, 40% tax here in the uk, so that then goes down to £1.6 million clear, this then pays off my current £500,000 mortgage on my residential home and clears the 3 outstanding investment mortgages I have, i.e. another £366,000, so will leave me around £800,000 to take a step back from my business, not work so hard and have £800,000 to continue playing the stocks pretty much full time.
Also my plan takes me up to when my twins Jake and Faye reach senior school so I can be there for them and help them with their education, I will also recieve an income from the 3 buy to let properties with no mortgages coupled with the two others I have with no mortgages, hence I will be totally mortgage free on all my properties, have income from them, roughly £750 each one, so £3,750pm, which is enough for me to live on mortgage free along with income I would still receive from my business, but not at the levels I currently receive obviously!!
Then whatever I make on the stocks over and above this is purely extra bunce and I would have effectively retired at age 33, as already 1yr into my 5yr plan currently.
Nice if it works and obviously if we do get a buyout in the $20`s, $30`s or even $40`s as some have aired, then obviously this brings my 5yr plan forward a few years and I will be a very happy bunny!!
I am very focused on my plan, not been let down yet and hoepfully won`t be, but I am having to play speculative stocks to get this return. I don`t mind waiting 1-2 years for a stock to give me 500-1000% return and I play all my stocks in a fairly large way, so I raise my glass to TKO and all my other stocks and hope to God they all work out as expected.
p.s.
I reckon Yahoo has forgotten to change the batteries on the message boards!!
Christine x
Sirius,
I think it is buy on the rumour stuff!!
Christine x
Sonny,
I upped it to $2.80 on Friday, but dropped the shares down to 28,000 as I only want to invest the equivalent of £40,000 which is roughly $75-$80,000.
I`m not going to chase the stock as the MM will have fun no doubt and it closed at $2.87 Friday, 7 cents off my price.
I generally feel it will have a run, but if no news by tomorrow, will start coming back down, however, if it breaks $3.50, it will go more and probably top $3.75 to $4`s.
There`s also a buy in for 10k shares at around $3`s, so I`ve not listed mine via my broker, I`m sitting back and watching!!
Have a good day, mines almost over!!
Christine x
Sonny,
You might be getting a few more visitors today as Yahoo up the swanny!!
Christine x
Thanks Tony!!

Sonny,
I`m not expecting GE until early Oct 06!! Homeland Security, i.e. airports finalised this week for contracts by 19th/20th Sept, but not a done deal, as others going for the contract as well, but TKO are favourite in my opinion, will know end of month.
Christine x
Sirius and Sonny,
Motorola going for home use in a big way, already got the 85 chip and state they are going for certifications, so I think this answers everybodys question about any infringement on TKO`s patent/patents. Obviously TKO still using 14 chip, but this is not such a bad thing for govt stuff anyway as not so essential.
As you say Sonny, pricing, but just how big is the home market in comparison to these GE and EDS contracts?
And don`t forget the 85 chip is coming for TKO early next year anyway!!
I always feel competition of any form is good and proves you are doing the right thing, what I hope mostly, is that competition from a large Company such as Motorola gives TKO a much needed kick up the jacksy to bring their lieu times down, their technology brought up to spec and make them more aggressive for further contracts and I don`t think it will just be Motorola as a competitor as the months and years go forward, so TKO need to get that strangle hold into gear, but they are not the best nor fastest at this as we all know!!
Christine x
Sirius,
The key has a sensor in it, you just put them in the glove box or handbag or wherever and push the big red GO button, sounds lovely!!
Realy looking forward to it as love my cars and karting, anything with speed!!
Christine x
Sonny,
It is a sports car, it`s the XKR, 0-60MPH in 4.9 secs and 420bhp and 560 torque, even the Ferarris and Porsches are around those figures.
Have a look:-
www.jaguar.co.uk
As to getting filled, upped it to $2.60 on todays reaction and I expect nexs Mon/Tues, so need to be in before, think it might fall back towards the close though.
Christine x
Sonny,
I don`t like Porshes, had them, very dated interior and almost clinical, but never break down I suppose. I would track day one though given the chance!!
Have a good day.
Christine x
Sonny,
Checked with my Bank, funds still not arrived, generally takes 2-3 working days, so might not be cleared funds until Monday and I will not buy a stock via my broker, which obviously I can do without him having the monies, unless I have cleared funds in his broker account.
Being in the uk, we get special dispensation due to the time delays in getting the monies over, so I think the funds need to be paid within 3-5 days normally, but I generally get up to 2 weeks from point of giving the go ahead, they buy them for me and then I pay them back.
Have a good weekend and keep up the good work.
One point I would like to make, and this just might be me not reading everything, but when I first came over to I-Hub, I could not find the message board, as I had to wade through all the charts and history e.t.c.
Just a suggestion, if it is at all possible, maybe the message board could come up first and then you do thumbnails around it to the side for the seperate charts and history e.t.c. as to be honest, I almost gave up on finding this board and maybe others have as well, just some constructive criticism, not meant to be taken in the wrong way.
Only other thing I can think of, is you put a thumbnail at the top of the page for Maessage Board and it takes you straight there, so if people wish to read the above stuff they can, if not, they go straight to the message board, as probably like you, time is short these days and now with Yahoo, I.V. and now I-Hub, I generally just have a quick browse over the messages and move on if I have nothing constructive to say.
Hope this helps,
Christine x
Sirius,
No, doesn`t have to go that low as can be bought and sold in the background.
Without the new purchase, I still have a sizeable holding, but $2.50 is my price or thereabouts, might get filled, might not, if not, will leave alone and buy another stock that I feel will have short term gains.
The 30k share new deal for me is more quick money, as buying the new Jag XKR, hopefully ready for Jan 07 and this way, I can buy it outright, it is just play money for an asset, nothing more, nothing less, but car is not cheap and this is an easy way to purchase it and have the full funds by Jan and then I get my original investment back as well. My main holding will remain for longer term gains.
I do expect the stock price of TKO to be at least between $6-$8`s by Jan 07, hence I need £70,000, on todays exchange, that`s roughly $132,000. 30k at $2.50 is $75,000, so I need the stock price to be up 276% by Jan 06, i.e. on $2.50, this equates to a stock price of $6.90 from $2.50, which I do not think is majorly unrealistic and could even happen sooner if things work out as expected, if not, I still have the monies in full if the stock only goes to $4.40, which gives me the $132,000 including original investment, but no excess monies.
This is just purely a personal play, I don`t see much downside now if any, only upward pressure and the old Bond Holders will now want the stock to go up to play the game, but I feel I might get one last chance to get a lower entry point, I hope so, you won`t, but this doesn`t affect my normal holdings with TKO.
I hate borrowing for anything, normally outright buys, but TKO does appear to now be on the cusp of good things to come, I have a 3-4 month window for this to work, if it doesn`t, I only need a stock price of $4.40, but lose my original investment as goes into the car, not what I want.
Thought I would explain fully, have a good weekend!!
Christine x
Sonny,
I also heard he doesn`t like Mondays much either, but then who does!!
I am very bullish about TKO, but I do get totally fed up with the time taken to announce these PR`s. I know they have to get the wording right e.t.c. but it was a rediculuously long time for EDS, I just hope we don`t have the same with GE and if the international stuff happens as well, I will be very happy.
Depending on how the market reacts tomorrow, I will be placing a buy order until filled for 30k shares around the $2.50 mark either tomorrow or Monday depending on when my monies wired hit my brokers account, of which I won`t want to move up on, sorry!! Hopefully will get filled quickly as I do have a lot of faith in TKO and the Company going forward and more importantly for a buyout next year, so I hoppe like all of you, to make quite a nice profit on my position over the next 6-9 month period.
Take care,
Christine x
Sonny,
There is a smaller PR due, probably the news that the first EDS purchase orders are through, maybe between now and Tuesday.
Christine x
Sonny and all, finally got through the red tape and here I am!!
Came over to see your e-mail from Joe Noel, pretty non-commital, but that`s PR guys for ya!!
I think the possible PR we get this week, early next is that th first of the EDS purchase orders are through, hopefully followed up with the GE later before the month is out, legalities eh?
