EMarshall,
From your post, I assume you are fully aware that the Specialist and RP do not see eye to eye, with several complaints having been put in about them and the way they handle TKO stock.
I even heard a rumour that it was the Specialist who shopped TKO to the AMEX about the independent board member who turned out to not be independent, so lots of games going on in the background, talking of which, we still haven`t seen a PR from TKO confirming the Amex/SEC are now satisfied even though TKO feel they have satisfied all demands of the SEC/Amex.
I know people say the Specialist is there to keep an even keel to the trading of the stock, unfortunately this Specialist does seem to have it in for TKO and I can understand why RP wants to get on the Nasdaq ASAP and away from the manipulations that go on with the AMEX trading platform.
Stock should be running now on the run of PR`s we`ve had, it isn`t and currently down on yesterday as I write this.
Take care,
GLL

Yep, more to come EMarshall,
I hear we will be getting a PR hopefully on the airports and a few other things, so still another 2-3 PR`s to come over this next few weeks and if indeed the CC does occur next week, then this can only bolster the good work that is happening and been announced so far.
I really do think that the schools thing is going to be the next big thing for TKO and will transform it. I`ve heard rumours of it being worth in excess of $30 million, which will be nice if indeed, it does happen.
Lastly, I think we need to keep the ball rolling with these constant PR`s for both TKO and MSTI, get the CC out the way to the Insties and then don`t forget, Ron will then be away on holiday in the not too distant future, but if the ball is rolling, it`ll make no difference whether he is about or not.
I must add, it was nice to the see the increase in PPS late yesterday and moreso, it is much nicer to see this board and even Yahoo in much better moods.
And I know Colormixer, WHATEVER!!!

Fly by nights, eh?
Hi Isaiah,
Nothing to add other than what Walrus has stated, but I believe we have 2 further PR`s to come.
The CC is long overdue and needs to be put together in the best light, hopefully it will, as I have been disappointed in the way the recent PR`s have been released or at least, in the way they have been written.
One last thing, I hope that TKO does pull some of their money out of MSTI whilst the stock is up to give funding to TKO and they are effectively free shares now with the increase over and above the opening price last week of 90 cents.
I was told a while back that the deal would be good for higher management and officers, it appears that way and looks like Musser has made back his $2 million almost he lost to his wife in that messy divorce, shame we as shareholders get nothing, which is surprising, but hopefully it will have the knock on effect of the PPS going up on TKO with the drop in cashburn directly to TKO, albeit they have the 60 odd percent share still in MSTI, but for TKO, it cleans up their balance sheet and I would not be surprised if they had not been pressure from the Insties to offload MST, as the Insties like a decent looking balance sheet. Well TKO have now done that, so hopefully over these coming weeks and further PR`s, coupled hopefully with a decent CC and forward looking guidance, the PPS will increase, but as always, this is TKO and they are a law unto themselves!!

Tony and Chaoss,
I watched them all as well and it is the old tale of the rich get richer and the Little Man in the Street gets hammered.
The Hedge Funds get a free hand and appear to be above the law.
Here in the uk, the Hedge Funds are ruled by the Financial Securities Authority and they can be very, very harsh on wrong doers.
Why oh why, in a nation that is meant to be the best and most advanced in the world and all countries look up to, why can`t your authorities put an end to it. How long has the Naked Shorting been under investigation, they should just stop it, it is wrong, corrupt and just downright wrong!!
I am surprised Cramer said the things he said, he mentioned he wasn`t on TV, but surely he has purged himself??
He appeared to make a mockery out of the SEC and inferred the Hedge Funds could do just about anything they wanted and the SEC would do nothing about it.
The attacks on Companies by these Hedge Funds, who have portfolios bigger than some countries and carry massive weight behind them, just play a game to either ruin a company or make it work, or they do both to the same company just to get a kick out of it because they can, shameless, and your government wanted your pensions to be put on the stock market, no wonder they agreed against it!!
There surely can`t be one rule for the Hedge Funds and one rule for all others, this is just downright wrong and stinks of manipulation and corruption and it appears to me from the outside, that your SEC are powerless to stop it or more afraid to do so, again stinks of maybe the powers to be in your SEC possibly invest in these funds as well, totally corrupt and wouldn`t happen in any other form of business.
I understand why so many Companies listed on the pinks, AMEX and some even on the Nasdaq are looking to come over to our exchange here in the uk, but that might all change, as your stock exchange has made several hostile bids for our exchange, but they have not been accepted, no doubt if this happens, the corruption will continue over here if the powers were given to the SEC and taken away from our FSA!!
Deeply disappointed in your markets and how they run!!
GLL
WinOneGipper,
As I write, it is $1.35, 8.10pm uk time, a 50% increase on the open, maybe it will get the STREET interested and it will snowball over onto TKO, we live in hope of things that can help TKO, but as the Top Brass have many shares in MST as outlined in the recent PR, I expect they are rubbing their hands together in glee, maybe even a new hairdo for Ron!!
I feel a new board should be opened by MLK for FITX.OB and he can start the discussions up over there and have a 50% gain to boot.
Food for thought!!
GLL
Sirius,
It`s Shoes Day!!
GLL
Sirius,
A point of correction, I am not in at $5`s ish, I was in at that originally and at first played this market and sold out for high $5`s, low $6`s back in the good old days 2 odd years ago.
I came back shortly after that and had a sizeable chunk at $4.87 in a bulk buy with other investors, some sort of discounting I was able to get, I sold that again shortly after for a decent profit.
Again I came back at $3.87 and sold shortly after at the low $4`s.
Each time was to move the money elsewhere short term to make money elsewhere as TKO became stagnant at each point, but the more I looked into TKO and got better and better contacts and sources, I could see and understand the long term potential of TKO, so now I am average at $2.67 with 112,000 shares, so currently on a loss like most who haven`t played the ups and downs, albeit I am still up overall with the gains I made before.
My business changed in the way I worked and I had to put much more time into it and as such, I didn`t have the time to be more on the ball with the sell and buys, which has cost me around $187,000`s this last few months from the time of the GE news at the $3.60`s to the current day price at $2, albeit only really down $75,000 from my average price of $2.67, but still up over $84,000 on the gains I made a few years ago.
I am adamant this will come back and much, much more over this year and into next.
I am not playing the stock, don`t have the time, although I have been advised several times to sell and wait for the pullback, I have gone against that advice and I have paid the price, like most on this board.
I am expecting TKO to make me in excess of $1 million`s over this next 12 months and I am willing to wait another year for that and as most of you no doubt, this is not my only stock.
With the contacts and sources I have built up over these last few years with TKO, many of whom can`t post on these boards, I am happy with my lot and will sit quietly, ride the peaks and troughs over this next 12 months and hopefully reap the rewards.
From what I hear is coming, the 2nd half of 07 will be a scorcher and if the revenues estimated for this current quarter are as predicted, once Q2`s 10Q comes out in August confirming cashburn is down, revenues up, lots of other things coming to fruition e.t.c., then I will be a happy bunny!!
As I have said since last year, the Q`s will do the talking for TKO as we can`t rely on the PR`s nor the Insty bike rides!!
Oh, and Colormixer, don`t bother putting up your one liner in response, i.e. WHATEVER, as this is getting tedious and I assume you would be doing it!!

Response to EMarshall`s original posting:-
,
What I am about to write is pure speculation and not based on any factual info bar a bit, but you are correct the cashburn is down, my thoughts this must be artifially to do with the much talked about on these boards of offloading MST, so maybe TKO haven`t been putting in as much money as prevously.
My other thought is TKO have spent a fortune over the years on R and D and maybe, just maybe with GE stepping up to the table to help out with the inventory for the much needed 200 chip, I assume that maybe in the small print of that GE contract that took so long to come to fruition, originally only 10 pages and then turned into a 200 page plus contract, that built into this revised contract, GE would subsidised TKO for the inventory, as they gave no upfront monies for the technology.
This is just a thought and as GE need the 200 chip for many of their larger substations and it is also required for part of the Homeland Security stuff at the airports, of which many more have come on board and I am surprised TKO have not already been given all the airports from the feedback I have heard, then maybe, just maybe with GE supporting TKO in a big way for the inventory, the cashburn has decreased quite substantially and if the much talked about on these boards sell off of MST happens, then from a cashburn point of view, to get TKO profitable by the end of the year is indeed a strong possibility.
We all know that GE will be a second half of 07 story and I expect revenues to be in the region of $4-$5 million this quarter, that leaves a very large ramp up of incoming revenues to TKO for 3rd and 4th quarters required.
The rumours I hear is that GE will make up around $8-$10 million of the proposed $25 million, what with EDS, schools and all the other stuff going on, as well as the two new acquistions, I am comfortable with my position with the stock holding $2`s plus, below that, I worry, above, I don`t.
I agree we are at a pivotal point for TKO and as such, we currently have had a rough ride, but I feel we are turning the corner and if there are to funds coming from a much rumoured on these boards sell off of MST, then depending on what funds come into TKO, this will and should give TKO a breathing space to go forward into the 3rd quarter without further financing if indeed revenues for Q2 do come in at $4-$5 million and the cashburn decreases dramatically, if not, further funding will be required and further dilution of shares.
Hopefully this comes over as a balanced view and not a ra ra posting.
Best luck to all.

Mouse Story .
A mouse
looked through the crack
in the wall
to see the farmer and his wife
open a package.
"What food
might this contain?"
The mouse wondered -
he was devastated
to discover
it was a mousetrap.
Retreating to the farmyard,
the mouse
proclaimed the warning.
"There is a mousetrap
in the house!
There is a mousetrap
in the house!"
The chicken clucked
and scratched,
raised her head
and said,
"Mr. Mouse,
I can tell
this is a grave concern to you
but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."
The mouse
turned to the pig
and told him,
"There is a mousetrap
in the house!
There is a mousetrap
in the house!"
The pig sympathized,
but said,
"I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse,
but there is nothing
I can do about it but pray.
Be assured you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow and said,
"There is a mousetrap
in the house!
There is a mousetrap
in the house!"
The cow said,
"Wow, Mr. Mouse.
I'm sorry for you,
but it's no skin off my nose.."
So, the mouse
returned to the house,
head down and dejected,
to face the farmer's mousetrap-- alone.
That very night
a sound was heard
throughout the house --
like the sound
of a mousetrap
catching its prey.
The farmer's wife
rushed to see
what was caught.
In the darkness,
she did not see
it was a venomous snake
wh ose tail the trap had caught.
The snake
bit the farmer's wife.
The farmer
rushed her to the hospital
and she returned home
with a fever.
Everyone knows
you treat a fever
with fresh ch icken soup,
so the farmer took his hatchet
to the farmyard
for the soup's
main ingredient.
But his wife's sickness
continued,
so friends and neighbors
came to sit with her
around t he c lock.
To feed them,
the farmer butchered the pig.
The farmer's wife
did not get well;
she died.
So many people came
for her funeral,
the farmer
had the cow slaughtered
to provide enough meat
for all of them.
The mouse looked upon it all
from his crack in the wall
with great sadness.
So, the next time
you hear someone
is facing a problem
and think it doesn't
concern you,
remember --
when one of us is threatened,
we are all at risk.
We are all involved
in this journey
called life.
We must keep an eye out
for one another
and make an extra effort to
encourage one another.
SEND THIS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER HELPED YOU OUT
AND LET THEM KNOW
HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE.
REMEMBER:
EACH OF US
IS A VITAL THREAD
IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY;
OUR LIVES
ARE WOVEN TOGETHER
FOR A REASON.
One of the best things
to hold onto in this world
is a friend.
Sonny,
From what I can gather, MP is keeping his mouth zipped, Joe Noel running round like a headless chicken and RP went missing tail end of last week, I assume for that interview with the Telephony Report.
From my side, I find it soul destroying that both JN and MP are paid a sizeable amount of money by TKO to push TKO forward not only to us but also the Insties and that report from the Telephony doodar thingeywotsit was very good, albeit a few wrong bits, but why oh why, was that not PR`d to Yahoo and the likes.
Any newbie would be able to use that for any DD they were doing, rather than other posters surfing the net to find articles that by rights should as a matter of course, be PR`d by the Company. Both JN and MP were aware of it, why don`t they just do their job!!
On other stocks I hold, any form of news, good, bad or indifferent is PR`d. The gaps in the PR`s run months apart at times on TKO, why?
p.s.
Legal signatory was required for current PR, now sorted so should be soon!! Sounds oh so much like the wait we had with GE and EDS if you all recall, which was meant to happen in a matter of weeks, both took almost 3 months, this appears no different and as RBT states, the red tape and the hurdles they need to overcome to get these to fruition can take time and the goalposts do move, moreso I find with TKO!!

Is the answer Michael Jackson?
GLL
MLK,
i`ll give you a clue, add the numbers up and find that number on a Monday, i.e. same back to front and by that time, you`ll have all the news you require!!
My cryptic messages can be easy, can be hard, there`s one for ya!!
GLL
Colormixer,
Queens English, enough said!!
GLL
MondayS To me are my favourite days, you never know what the week will bring and my favourite time is 11:11, same back to front, same as Colormixers underpants, if that`s what you call them over there!!
GLL
Another week finishes, another starts on Monday. Gone are the days TKO would not announce on a Friday nor a Monday, so hopefully next week brings us all some joy and then STD can do that naked dance around his computer!!!
I am disappointed with the current stock price and I assume most of you are, but there`s been lots and lots of bad reports, messages e.t.c. these last few weeks, let`s hope the lid gets lifted on this quiet mode next week.
We as shareholders need some substance for a decent PR, we`ve been told there are 5 PR`s to come, we`ve has 2 wishy washy ones, let`s hope the next three bring proper news that the markets can get their teeth into and that long awaited short squeeze needs to be triggered, albeit short coverage has reduced quite dramatically over this last month.
I hope that the PR`s this time get proof read, as they have been very poor in the way they have been written and how they transform into a positive reaction to the stock and the markets in general.
The PR`s always appear to me to be very matter of fact and do not really instill much confidence for the PR content going forward for the Company, just my view, but being in sales and running my own Company, you are always told and have it instilled into you that you sell the sizzle not the sausage and to me, the PR`s are written badly, almost like an internal memo, rather than the Rah Rah they should be and pushing the content of the PR to the shareholders and markets in a positive and urgent manner to instill confidence in why we are invested in TKO, again, just my thoughts!!
I wish everyone a great weekend and Colormixer, get your hands out your pockets!!!

Nice to hear from you again Color!!

PSU,
1 million subscribers is an awful lot. I don`t know what the subscription fees your side of the pond are, but even a lowly $10`s per month, that`s an awful lot of money in the coffers, minus overheads and I presume the cashburn is nothing like it has been with MST!!
GLL
RBT,
Hopefully the follow through will happen imminently.
GLL
Sirius,
It`s similiar to what Stocklemon do, if there are no grounds and the stock falls, they get sued, if it works, they were right.
Like Stocklemon, normally it will state in their disclaimer that they may have holdings of the stock they put out the analysis on and I assume Think Equity is no different.
What is wrong with your markets and the way they are conducted, this would not happen in the uk, too heavily governed and luckily, the FSA carries a large cane and comes down hard on the wrong doers.
How come in a country that is hugely respected worldwide, you can have this type of corruption which laughs in the face of the AMEX and the SEC knowing full well they won`t do anything about it.
In the uk, if a report was put out like Think Equity`s and they had no grounds for their analysis except for personal gain, they would get struck off and their FSA license revoked and at least suspended short term.
It just beats me how they get away with it your side of the pond.
Open at $2.12, that`s ludicrous on the news announced yesterday!!
We know the Specialist and TKO do not see eye to eye with TKO having put in complaints about them, but how can the Specialist substantiate an opening price down some 20 odd cents in light of the news yesterday, that is pure manipulation and downright crooked.
At least in the olden days when we had Highway Robbery over here, the Highwaymen had the decency to wear masks!!!
This Maket Opening Price of $2.12 makes a mockery of your stock market and knowing more news is coming, it stinks of total manipulation and RP must be fully aware of this and he needs to get his legal team not only onto Think Equity but also the Specialist because this is just not cricket!!
Rant over, but I am livid at the ways your market is conducted.

Colormixer,

O/T A bit of personal good news I `d like to share with the board..........
My Son Jake had his first karting race this Saturday just gone.
It is only his second race and in his first race last November, he had a bad crash, touched wheels with another kart at about 45mph through the esses, which sent him sky bound, flipped him upside down and 6 foot in the air, then he was thrown out and came back down on the track which rendered him unconcscious and then got his right arm run over by another kart, so for obvious reasons, he lost his nerve a tad.
Anyway, he`s been coming back down to Practice Days with myself again as I kart as well and over these last few months, he has been getting quicker and quicker, so I put him in for the proper race on Saturday.
Unfortunately, they lost his paperwork as it was a last minute decision to put him in for the race, so when we turned up to sign on, he wasn`t in the running order or registered, so he had to start at the back of the grid for the three heats which sets your postion for the final and due to the paperwork going missing, he had to start at the back of the grid for all three heats.
There were 9 novice racers such as Jake and Jake won all of the three heats from the back of the grid!! He started on pole position for the final and stayed there for the finish flag, a great day and he also got Driver of the Day, so I am very proud of my just turned 10 yr old Son!!
He was a Total Knock Out, so some TKO content!!
Just thought I`d share my delight with the board!!
Could he be the next Lewis Hamilton, as he started winning races at aged 10?
A delighted GLL
p.s. Sonny and Sirius,
If my post is deemed a personal attack on Colormixer, then please strike me off this board, as I have too much going on in my life currently with work being exceptionally hectic to worry about people like Colormixer and I can still read the board, it will be no loss to me and I will respect your decision. I don`t have the time currently to fully watch all my stocks and the DD I should be doing, but I have very good contacts off the board and at the end of the day, whether I post or not about what is or not to happen, it will still happen, sometimes later than the dates originally told, but it does still happen.
Take care all and I respect your decision.
Still peed off GLL
Colormixer,
Firstly, I will apologise to Sonny and Sirius for my response as they are the moderators, this is not a personal attack, although I feel like giving one.
On Yahoo, you constantly knock myself, Sonny and Walrus, you bring nothing to the table so to speak yourself. You just moan, groan and knock any poster who brings a snippet of info to these boards to help other posters in their DD, you have brought nothing that I can recall in two years of reading these boards. I for one, wonder why I try and help, to only be shot down in flames by the likes of you!!
Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought these boards were meant for open discussion for sharing thoughts and information in helping us all achieve our goals in making money? Maybe I have misunderstood this and you have openly stated that you have been in this stock for several years.
I am surprised that you have not been banned from this board, as I cannot think of one occasion that you have brought anything of interest or note in all the time I have been a shareholder for two years, whether here or on Yahoo, but it appears, you take great delight in getting peoples backs up!!
You are either very clever and like getting under peoples skin, so they react and state something they shouldn`t or you just enjoy getting peoples backs up, the latter I feel and no doubt you were always the guy at school being bullied and had no friends.
That said, to validate your sarcastic response to me and yes, you have got under my skin and your quip has worked, do you have any idea why the Q10 was announced 3 working days earlier than originally intended?
Don`t bother answering, as I already know the answer, you don`t know!!
Several on this board will be fully aware of the reasons and for those of us who know, we are quite happy that the Q was not very good,it was a non-event as expected with the delays on GE and EDS, but the coming weeks will bear fruits, as the Q was restricting something to be announced and this could not be brought to fruition until the Q was released. I understand we have 5 PR`s coming our way over the coming weeks, several now ready to roll this coming week and we will also get dollar amounts, because it has been fed back on how uninformed we as shareholders have been and RP has taken this on board.
If you spent more of your time doing DD and phoning/e-mailing people than just knocking the messengers, you may also be in the same position as many on this board.
Once again, you win and I have given you answers that I feel you don`t deserve. Maybe this answers questions from others on this board as to why we had such high volume on Friday.
The Q was a non-event, things are happening in the background, but TKO until the second half of this year, is still a story stock and as such, it will have strong pull backs and strong runs, the strong pull back has happened, we are now back to the strong run arena, albeit only taking us back up to where we were a few months back. Why do you think the stock price went up, when by rights on the information in the Q, the stock should have been going down more, albeit the Q had already been priced into the stock from the start of the week.
My personal thoughts are we will be seeing $3`s again very shortly, this should not be taken by anyone as gospel, because as Colormixer states, I am always wrong!!! Do your own DD, actually pick the phone up, make those calls, e-mail IR, keep plugging away, don`t take woolly answers, push for the information and you know what, you do get it if you are persuasive, nice and courteous on the phone, however, I assume if you have rang and your manner is the same as your retorts on this board and Yahoo, I can fully apppreciate why they do not give you the answers you request!!
Remember one thing Colormixer to take away from this message, "SMILE AND THE WHOLE WORLD SMILES WITH YOU, BE NASTY, THE WHOLE WORLD WILL IGNORE YOU!!

Sirius,
It would appear to me that the Q1 has been priced into the current stock price, we all know about how info leaks out!!
All have a great weekend and who knows, we might even get a nice close to the day!! As you would say, heheheheheeheheheee!!
GLL
Isaiah,
No hoorays from me on the Q1, but expected to be a non-event, but personalyl I didn`t expect it to be such a non-event. I had expected to see some of the EDS money in there, can`t seem to find it myself.
I was told there would be a surprise in the Q1, well it surprised me alright, just can`t find a nice surprise in there!!
I just hope that the CC does give guidance. I hear EDS update will be out shortly and trying to get a $ figure on it, which will help with this Q1 result as we need to be told and see for ourselves as shareholders that revenues are happening, not just the contracts.
TKO has a long way to go, but I expect this MST thing to be resolved imminently as outlined in that Think Equity report and that will give TKO much needed revenues to go forward without further dilution.
GE?
Schools?
Loads of other things and I hope we get told about these very shortly!!
All have a great weekend, today will be messy and unless something happens early next week, it will continue into next week as well. RP and his cronies need to give the shareholders something to believe in. The quiet mode is normally a good sign and I understand no PR`s can be issued until a certain point is sorted, but they need to get this sorted asap.
GLL
Color,
I didn`t think I had a reputation in your book!!
Seriously, all I want is to invest in a stock, make money, sell at the right price for me and move on to the next stock.
Unfortunately, TKO is such an awkward stock, you have to watch it daily, I like stocks I can tie my money up in and forget about them for 6 months, a year or two, TKO is high maintenance from a personal point of view.
12.30am over here, off to bed for me!!
GLL
O/T Sirius, you have e-mail.

Sirius,
This report is very scathing of TKO and more importantly, the management, but if the rumour mill is to be believed then that report is rubbish, time will tell but not long to wait now.
I am told earnings will be the 15th May 07, so a week today.
I am also advised that everything is going great and much much better than expected with several news releases to be announced over the coming next few weeks and TKO will take on a new guise in about a fortnights time or so, but the rumours are flying, info is tying up together from various sources and I am just gobsmacked as to the relevance of this new report and just how they justify their figures of $11 million, when it has already been announced a minimum of $25 million for 2007 and announced from TKO`s own lips, something doesn`t ring true here.
Info is scarce on the ground at present, all the usual suspects have gone into this well rehearsed Quiet Mode and as always, we as the long suffering shareholders will just have to bite the bullet, bide our time and let the Q`s and the PR`s do the talking, maybe, just maybe if this conference call does eventually take place as earmarked for next week, I think we may get our eyes opened to many of the goings on behind all the closed doors at TKO and their strategic partners, lets hope so and with not long to wait now, what`s another week or two in the overall scheme of things, when we have waited 2yrs plus for many and much longer for others. Is 2007 the year of TKO, 14 days and counting to find out!!

earnings I was told will not be out till 5/15. Every thing is going great far better than expected & there will be many news releases in the next 2 weeks. They willl be an entirely different Co. after 5/22, dramatically better. T
Sirius,
A tidbit of the report Thinkequity. Walrus has stated who the author is along with another chap.
This is quite scathing on TKO, but the figures appear wrong to me, so here`s a snippet for you, which I presume is ok as the report has been bought and paid for. It does appear to be scare tactics. The report is much, much lengthier:-
GLL
We expect TKO to burn near $25M in 2007 on an optimistic $11M in revenue. In reviewing the company’s prospects, it is
almost impossible to believe it has a long-term future. We assign a 12-month price target of $0.50. This pricing is
indicative of our lack of confidence in Telkonet's ability to foreseeably generate a profit and our confidence that it will
continue to consume copious amounts of capital. Our price target reflects a generous 3x P/S for a severely cashconsumptive
company.
We estimate Telkonet will need $15M of cash almost immediately, using EBITDA as a guide. The options to raise this
cash include spinning off a business. In our opinion, the most likely scenario would be to sell the unprofitable and standalone
MST business. A sale of MST could provide a portion of the cash necessary to sustain Telkonet's operations for a
little longer, but leaves us wondering where future cash will be found.
reallybadtrader,
Both analysts are from an ex company who also put out a bearish report on TKO 2 or 3 years ago, history repeating itself?
GLL
Sirius,
I`ve just read the full report, puts down management for ineptness, poor management e.t.c.
Pretty much states TKO is a has been and other companies coming forward, nothing new to us long termers that bit!!
I also think their figures are wrong, they state estimated earnings to be $11 million for 07, TKO have PR`d they will do $25 million, soon to be increased to $34 million with the two new acquistions.
Goes on about TKO being very good at spending money, no good at getting the contracts and a massive cashburn, but we all know that from MST being roughly 75% of their annual cashburn, hopefully with the rumour of MST going away, cashburn will change.
I am waiting back from the person who e-mailed me a copy to see if I can post it or not, not heard back before I`ve posted here. Will post if he allows me.
Many bad points, hardly any good points, words it that TKO are playing with minor contracts with the govt e.t.c.
It is interesting to see who the analyst, I won`t say anymore, but Sonny may recognise the name!!
Take care,
GLL

Sirius,
Joe Noel was not just on tour for TKO, but 3 Companies, hence why he went out on the road first, Mike Porter and RP were meant to follow last week but didn`t, Joe was out the Thursday before.
I assume trips were cancelled as we have had no PR re AMEX being happy with the response from TKO re Paoni as the new Independent. I was under the impression this was to have been resolved 2 Fridays ago, hasn`t happened yet, hopefully soon, can`t take that long surely for one point, unless there are other points, but surely that would have to have been PR`d as well at the same time as the Independent bit?
What has happened to the highly rumoured MST deal? These two points I feel are the reasons for the trips to be cancelled, but as always, delays on delays happen with TKO, but RP has to sort these out and pretty pronto.
Next week is the week for Q1 results, so something to look forward to, maybe more news on or before that and the much awaited CC is meant to be next week as well if the rumour mill is working well.
As to the new Analyst report, that is such a low target, would be interesting to see what they are basing that price on, as that would be devastating for TKO if it happened and to us, the shareholders.
Has anyone had access to it yet and can it be posted, copyright and all that permitting?
Just my thoughts, but lots of negativity surrounding TKO these last few weeks whilst they are in their quiet mode, but they have been quiet for way too long and need to give the shareholders something to believe, rather than just leaving it to the Q`s to do the talking for them as I have posted many times before on this subject.

Fair comments STD, so next week it is then for Q1 and CC and a few other nice tidbits apparently.
That report talked about on Yahoo doesn`t sound very promising with a Sell Sign and a 50 cent price tag!!
The next few weeks will be interesting!!
Take care,
GLL
Isaiah,
Think we might get one bit of news this week, but most will be next week and the rumour mill states it will be good, but this is TKO, so don`t hold your breathe!!!
This week hopefully holds up around the $2.30 and then next week we get a run, that`s my thoughts, Colormixer will be thinking differently no doubt, why he invests in a stock that he just bashes and also the board members, I`ll never know.
Maybe he should read the book, How to win friends and influence people!!"
GLL
O/T for Sirius,
It`s up 24% as I write!!
GLL
O/T Sirius,
Still in it, finance deal goes through next week with a bit of luck, should be a double from here and more hopefully, as clears the toxic financing from Permynthean and makes them debt free with the raising of $45 million.
It is part of the Bruner family group of Companies, he `s never had a duff one, only problem, he let his Son run the Company and he`s not the best for management, so might take longer, but we`re used to that with TKO, but long term, I feel it will be an excellent stock.
I`m all over the place with stock buys on this one, but average 23 cents on just over 500,000 shares with two recent purchases close to 15 cents.
Stock should run to 30-40 cents on the news, plateau with a sell off from short term players or daytraders, because like TKO, it is on the watch list of companies like Briefing.com and the like. Once plateaued and based, it should move back up to 60-70 cents over the next quarter.
The funding allows them to start new drillings, re-start old ones when the funding ran out and set up new allegiances with other Bruner companies within the group such as Falcon and also frees them up to raise better financing in the future for expansion.
It has been a rollercoaster ride this last year with GAX, but I am convinced it is coming good and very soon, just like TKO will do over the next 2-3 weeks.
I see GAX up to $1.50-$2`s over the next 1-2 years, maybe higher and the short term view is also good with Petrol and Natural Gas prices starting to rise over your side of the pond, you`ve got a long way to go to catch us Brits up on fuel prices though, as you are roughly a third of our prices and I know this is all in the news your side with petrol breaking the $3 mark, so timing is quite good for GAX with the recent increases in fuel and NG prices.
It`s been a long time coming, but eventually here.
I hope you`re having a great weekend.
