Looks like they're gonna paint the tape again
today at the close if this dosent pick up some momo
That is pure speculation by Michael Kwan and nothing more
Would I like to see that happen, With the # shares I hold, You bet I would.
But Sony dosent need Viking to get into the 3d field.
That deal with them & VKNG was nothing more then help me & I'll help you
The connection is between Intuitive Surgical ISRG
Not Sony
Sony was using VKNG's technology to showcase their new Sony 3DHD flat panel display, VKNG was using sony's flat panel to showcase their new "Next Generation" 3DHD camera system.
Thats it, There is NO other connection.
What you should be looking into is Intuitive Surgical ISRG
THATS THE DEAL
When is 4th quarter starting? = Oct
Proven Product, 7M Revs. Low OS, Low Float, Cash
And Access to 5M more at a low rate.
New Product about to hit the market.
Deal with ISRG about to happen.
I cant remember a time where this kind of opportunity has come along, A 5 to 10 bagger is not out of the question from here IMO.
Interesting comments (full paragraph and link below) regarding the prototype delivered in Q4 to a "robotic surgical company" (almost certainly ISRG) in the recently filed VKNG 10k.
"It is the parties’ (ISRG)stated intentions that this development agreement will lead to a multi-year supply agreement whereby we manufacture and supply products to the other party."
In my mind these much more pointed comments significantly increase the likelihood that they will get some ongoing business out of this. Now the question is, if they get that contract how big will it be and when will it start? It is my belief that this is related to the integration of florescent imaging that ISRG has announced they plan to integrate into their current 3DHD Vision System. This is a technology which they have licensed from a company called Novadaq and which is expected to be launched some time later this year. One big unknown is whether ISRG will offer this as an option or whether they will make it a standard part of their daVinci surgical system. The first scenario would result in lower volumes and slower adoption where as the second scenario would result in several hundred units per year very quickly. In either case the contract is likely to be awarded fairly soon if the product is due to launch later this year. It is unclear how much detail we would get when and if such an announcement is made.
Here's the relevant paragraph from the recent VKNG 10k
In the fourth quarter of 2009 we also completed development work of a 3DHD visualization system for a robotic surgical company under a development contract that provided us approximately $800,000 of total revenue beginning in late 2007 and ending in 2009. It is the parties’ stated intentions that this development agreement will lead to a multi-year supply agreement whereby we manufacture and supply products to the other party. No assurance can be made that we will enter into a supply agreement as a result of this engineering contract.
Here's a link to the full filing

From Fish re: yahoo board
Very Interesting Post From Yahoo Board
Our “Next Gen” system does not include the headset. The headset will be replaced with a flat panel monitor/display that utilizes passive eyewear for viewing in 3D. Additionally, safety regulations require surgeons to wear protective eyewear so the surgeon is not being asked to do/wear anything they are not already wearing.
We will still offer the headsets in certain markets or instances as there is a customer base that enjoys benefits of that product.
I wonder if they could Retro Fit the old headset and add the flat panel monitor/display that utilizes passive eyewear, Could that be done ??????

Blatent Manipulation Is The Only Way To Describe
What's going on with VKNG.
I have been trading stocks for more years then I care to remember, I make over 1200 trades a year and I have Never seen The In Your Face Manipulation that is going on here.
And believe me I've had some real junk and great stocks that have been Manipulated in my day, But nothing so Blatent
The only thing that keeps me in my chair is the fact that I am able to buy at these levels.
Good luck guys, Right now Im loving it.
They may try and short this into the teens today
Great buying, But I sure hate taking the hit.
This time I am thanking the shorts on this one
They are doing me a very BIG favor, And I hope the favor continues. Thank u for those shares, I thought I Would never get any more in the 23 - 24 area
I look at this as a buying Opp. I have no intention
Of selling any time soon, I would much rather see it go up, But on the other hand, I will take advantage of the drop in price.
Without volume this IMO will continue to go down to the low .20's where there is support.
Im not worried about the short term.
MM Will play his games with the lack of volume.
To be honest, I dont think it would be Sony To make
The offer, IMO It would be Intuitive Surgical, That would be a better fit.
I believe Intuitive Surgical already has a deal with VKNG.
(( An even more intriguing news development later this month, involves the delivery of a "designed to specification" prototype high definition 3DHD visualization system by Viking Systems to "a manufacturer of surgical robotic systems as part of a development agreement." While the name of that manufacturer has not been disclosed by Viking, our research leads us to believe that entity is Sunnyvale, California based Intuitive Surgical- the same company that manufactures the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System which has expanded its installed base to more than 900 academic and community hospital sites, while sustaining growth in excess of 25% annually. At the end trading on Friday, shares of Intuitive Surgical, Inc.(NASDAQ:ISRG) closed at $368.22 per share. While there can be no assurance that a supply agreement will be awarded upon the completion of the development contract, Viking believes that the new product has several unique features that will address specific market needs and that the company is well positioned to support any production needs for the system.))
The following clauses stand out when one looks at the actual agreement:
B. Whereas, VIKING possesses rights to patents relating to devices used in surgery, including laparoscopic/endoscopic vision systems for minimally invasive surgeries;
C. Whereas, ISI desires to obtain from VIKING and VIKING wishes to grant to ISI an exclusive license under all of VIKING’s Licensed Patents and Applications limited to the Medical Robotics Field; and
D. Whereas, VIKING desires to obtain from ISI and ISI wishes to grant back to VIKING a nonexclusive license under the Licensed Patents and Applications for certain products in the Medical Robotics Field;
As for a buyout price, IMO that would be so far out , I wouldn't even venture a guess.
IMO This is just the start for the NEW VKNG
As for a buyout or takeover, Its not gonna happen, The insiders wont let it happen, There is just to much to gain by selling any time soon,They have their poison pill, They own too many shares.
I think VKNG Is gonna go about this a little Diff. then they have in the past.
I think they will be selling their Product and Licence their technology for a steady stream of fees, To the likes of Sony and Intuitive Surgical, Also I do believe that the U.S.Army contract will be expanded to most all Hosp's and war zones.
They may do this on a fee based system or buy them outright, But to be sure the Army will expand on what they already have.
This will not happen over night, But IMO it will happen.
Hers some good news to start the day out
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Viking-Systems-3DHD-Receives-pz-1791777732.html?x=0&.v=1
As volume slows, As I am sure it will
This IMHO will be a great time to be buying and holding for the long haul.
With news this will fly.
Heres an interesting VKNG - Sony Link

Hang on
I had called Ameritrade and ask them to contact MM
And show my bid
They're not showing my bid
I was one of em, But Im still Buying = SONY
In our future.
I bought more at .25, 26, 27
I've got .27 exit blocked.
Anyone feel they want to sell at .27, Be my guest.
They're just adjusting the price from yesterday
and the day before , Then the next leg up
They're flushing the system out.
Last 2 Days Is The Most Volume Ever { EVER } Traded
one day after the other.
Ask yourself WHY, Either theres something coming, Or there is a lot of Dilution
I dont believe the dilution part because the of the price movement.
We'll know by friday
If you check the volume charts, This buying is surely
Accumulation

Feb 24th of 2010 suggest that number has not changed.
