Amex Rings GlobeTel Again
By Seth Jayson (TMF Bent)
August 28, 2006
We already knew that GlobeTel (AMEX: GTE) was under the gun. Its home exchange, after all, sent it a notice of intention to delist the stock, saying GlobeTel had "engaged in a pattern of issuing overly promotional press releases" at the same time that "its management has engaged in operations, which, in the opinion of the Exchange, are contrary to the public interest."
Thursday, the firm -- whose loyal fans believe it can outcompete or make obsolete companies as powerful as Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO), Motorola (NYSE: MOT), Verizon (NYSE: VZ), Comcast (Nasdaq: CMCSA), and AT&T (NYSE: T) -- released an 8-K detailing another note from the American Stock Exchange.
To put it mildly, the Amex does not seem pleased. GlobeTel reveals that the exchange now accuses the company of (emphasis mine):
(1) Failure to make timely, accurate, and compete disclosure of material corporate developments, as well as engaging in a pattern of issuing materially misleading and overly promotional public disclosures;
(2) Failure to comply with Securities and Exchange Commission reporting obligations by filing incomplete, misleading, and/or inaccurate information in its public filings;
(3) Failure to provide information to the exchange;
(4) Providing materially false and misleading information and statements to the Amex staff, hindering its investigation of the company's compliance with Amex listing requirements;
(5) Acting to interfere with the operation of a fair and orderly market by issuing public statements not warranted by the company's affairs that were intended to affect the price of its common stock;
(6) Association with an individual with a history of regulatory misconduct that rises to the level of a public interest concern;
(7) Serious internal control weaknesses that rise to a level of a public interest concern.
Quite a list, no? And I'd say the latter allegations are by far the most interesting. No. 5, well, that sounds like stock manipulation to me. I wonder if the SEC is paying attention to this. Hello? SEC?
Nos. 3 and 4 are even more curious. What is it the Amex wants to know? Why would GlobeTel fail to provide information? And why would GlobeTel provide materially false and misleading information and statements to the Amex?
Maybe, like me, Amex would like to see proof that GlobeTel's claims about various worldwide entities were warranted. For instance, I'm still waiting to see proof that Internafta -- the Russian outfit with the "binding" contract that didn't bind -- ever existed, let alone had assets sufficient to warrant the "contract" and the PR blitz.
(I was suspicious of that deal from day one, especially because CEO Tim Huff couldn't give me a single shred of contact information on those foreign partners when we spoke in the days after the deal. But GlobeTel has long since stopped responding to my calls and emails.)
I doubt those of us who are following the drama will ever see enough evidence to satisfy our curiosity. And as for GlobeTel, I'm not sure it's long for this world. The latest 10-Q showed less than $2 million in cash, versus payroll and taxes of more than $1 million a quarter, in addition to $441,000 for travel and $635,000 in officer compensation. I'd say it's just about out of money.
And on that last bit, management agrees. Here's what it had to say, "The Company anticipates increased cash flows from 2006 sales activities; however, additional cash will still be needed to support operations."
Hmm. And if it can't find anyone to loan or invest?
"... If budgeted sales levels are not achieved, or if significant unanticipated expenditures occur, or if the Company is unable to obtain the necessary funding, the Company may have to modify its business plan, reduce or discontinue some of its operations or seek a buyer for all or part of its assets to continue as a going concern through December 31, 2006."
There's not a whole lot more that needs to be said.
from motley fool they picked on GTE today they ran a report on IPO VG (Vonage)As the company continues to burn great wads of cash, investors have only management's promises that better days are ahead. Sure, subscriber count is growing. But unprofitable is unprofitable, no matter how many users are signed up. Just ask the folks in satellite radio.
But at least serial losers like XM Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: XMSR) and Sirius Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) have a guaranteed duopoly. VoIP telephony is a business with no moat whatsoever.
Even blimp-floating pretenders like GlobeTel can make claims to this market. How much tougher will it be for Vonage to actually achieve profits -- crazy concept, I know -- in the face of real competition from the likes of AT&T (NYSE: T), Verizon (NYSE: VZ), or Comcast? And slow-moving telcos aren't the only ones in the space. Expanding Internet chat from Google (Nasdaq: GOOG), eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY), Yahoo!, or anyone else could take Vonage's margins down toward zilch.

The Nano game starring TINY
After nearly a decade of hype and false starts, the National Science Foundation forecasts that $1 trillion worth of nanotechnology-enabled products will be on the market by 2015. This year, corporations and governments will spend more than $11 billion on nanotechnology research.
However, investors have been burned (charred to a crisp actually) by the big Nanotech hype back in January of 2004. Remember that? George W. Bush signed the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act in 2003, and continued mentioning nanotech throughout the year. Investors went nuts, buying anything with nano in the name - pushing stocks like Nanogen, Inc (NGEN) and Nanophase Technologies Corporation (NANX) well above $10 a share.
Fast-forward to 2006, and Nanotech been forgotten again - and that's good news for investors like you and I. Nanotech is still a long-term sector, and the best time to get in for the long haul is right now, before another hype wave brings the speculators back in.
I can't recommend stocks like NGEN and NANX right now, though - too much risk.
Enter TINY (TINY).
Since 2002, Harris & Harris has made 30 investments in startups that specialize in what it calls `tiny technology'. Charles Harris switched to nano-only deals that year, making Harris & Harris the only publicly traded VC firm devoted exclusively to nanotechnology. To underscore the point, he changed the firm's Nasdaq ticker to TINY.
A full list of the companies TINY has invested in can be viewed here.
http://www.tinytechvc.com
TINY is currently trading close to the bottom of its 52 week range. If you're looking to broaden your portfolio with a stock that is fairly low risk and has the potential for big returns over the next 5-10 years, you should include TINY in your long term portfolio

I am a long term shareholder who bought back several years ago my price I paid was 1.80 per share and I only have 250 shares left.
However I have a story to tell.
Back in 1996 in a stock chat room I found an investor and asked him what to do with 2,000?
He said buy DELL before the dell hype even commericals for them.
I said what does dell do he said computers.
Dell was $50 a share and i never even heard of them.
I could only bot 40 shares I said what good would that do?
He said I still would.
I then got my calulator and figured out I could buy 1,232 shares of ITKG at 1.80
so I did that and like an idiot I sold most of my itkg for a huge loss several years later for another otc:bb which has since gone belly up no number no nothing..
I still hold 250 shares of ITKG and holding them for long term its ashame i only have 250 out of 1,232.
But I cannot afford to buy any more as work at my job is slow and don't pay too much.
I often wonder how bad I will be kicking my self on this ITKG and how it will be one of those stories when I could have should have would have..
I just know it will .
Good luck and stay long don't be an idiot like me...
I still have 250.
hopefully ITKG is the next DELL.
PS that DELL investment would be worth over 200,000 today at just 40 shares and 2 k .
guess its better to be part of the game than notm at all..
GO ITKG
Also check out TINy message board on here to learn more about TINY.
tinytechvc.com I think is harris and harris web site and you can see their portflio holdings .
Motely fool loves TINY shares.
Tiny does NOT own 100% of Nanosys inc it just owns some shares .
TINY invests in several nano or tiny tech companies and I think TINY has just under a Million shares of nanosys ..
TINY has a tiny float too about 20 million.
when Nano tech stocks hit TINY should be huge pardon the pun..
There is no word on when the IPO
I just started a board with Nanosys it was gonna IPO a few years back but pulled it coz of bad market conditions ...
Nanosys is an exciting company and wanted to start a board to keep up with when it does truly go public and I don't wanna miss this coz I missed Google IPO...
The only way to buy into it now indirectly is Harris and Harris owns some shares of nanosys as a private placement their symbol is TINY...
Nanosys is not public yet not sure when it will trade but I am very excited about its ipo.
Harris and Harris is the only way to indirectly buy shares of NNSY as of yet.
Indeed PLFM has GREAT hope of Promice this mth.
This message board helps when things are so quiet .
This stock is weird 3 million one day to zero volume the next not much in price swings from .008 its no longer volitile it pretty much stays on .008 if we get past that it could fly into another good stock run and give us some excitment ..
The CIA Has a New Small Secret
By Jack Uldrich
August 30, 2006
In-Q-Tel, the venture capital arm of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), recently announced that it hired Christopher Darby, a former Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) manager, to be its new CEO.
Among Darby's top priorities are longer-lived batteries and nanotechnology. Given Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) and Dell's (Nasdaq: DELL) recent problems with lithium-ion batteries, he is in good company in wanting new and improved battery technology; but his public emphasis on nanotechnology was something new.
A year ago, I discussed In-Q-Tel's investment in Nanosys -- a private nanotechnology company in which Motley Fool Rule Breakers recommendation Harris & Harris (Nasdaq: TINY) also has an equity stake -- and noted how the investment could pay dividends by helping the government develop specialized antennas through the use of high performance thin-film electronics.
What I did not mention at the time was that Nanosys also possesses patented proprietary nanowire technology could play a big role in the creation of ultra-sensitive biological and chemical detectors.
Security from biological and chemical attacks is, though, just one of the many areas where nanotechnology can assist the intelligence community in improving our national security.
The CIA has publicly stated that it is also interested in information security, making the Internet more hacker-resistant, creating distributed architectures, and increasing "knowledge generation."
Nanotechnology can assist in each of these areas. For instance, by taking advantage of the unique quantum properties of individual atoms, it is possible that foolproof encryption systems could be devised. Similarly, the advances that nanotech companies are making in nanoscale data storage, in combination with the progress being made in the fields of nanosensors and nanophotonics (for wireless telecommunication technology), could lead to the collection and dissemination of an unprecedented amount of information.
This new information, if properly processed and analyzed, could, in turn, lead to valuable knowledge.
This is not necessarily the type of knowledge that investors probably can profit from directly, because it will be classified. But I do encourage investors to keep an eye on the companies that In-Q-Tel is investing in, because they are likely to be at or near the forefront of technological advances that will not just keep us safer as a society -- they will also have widespread applications in a commercial marketplace that is always looking for better information security, distributed architecture systems, and knowledge generation.
If you do keep up, this is the type of information that can give you a small, semi-clandestine advantage in identifying the next "small" opportunity in nanotechnology
Category 5 Stocks
By Rick Aristotle Munarriz (TMFBreakerRick)
August 30, 2006
I lived through Hurricane Andrew in 1992. It was only the third Category 5 windstorm to make landfall in the United States, and it was a doozy. I remember waiting for the deafening gusts to subside before venturing out to see the savage destruction that the killer storm had caused. When it comes to windstorms, Category 5 is as intense as they get. When it comes to investing, growth stocks would be the market equivalent.
Growth stocks are powerful, which can sometimes be a good thing. Find the right stock on the cusp of blowing apart the landscape, and you can go from being a modest investor to a rich one in the blink of a hurricane's eye. Think of Adobe (Nasdaq: ADBE) just as its publishing software was about to enter the wide-open waters of the Internet. Delve into Amgen (Nasdaq: AMGN); its billion-dollar drugs like Neupogen and Epogen were once glimmers of medical hope going through successful clinical trials.
By the same token, growth stocks are volatile. I saw it when I stepped outside my home in 1992. You can see it, too, in a portfolio ravaged by the wrong growth stocks. Planet Hollywood? 3DO? They both blew my portfolio to pieces way back when.
Bracing for the big one
Snapping up the right growth stocks is the aim of the Motley Fool Rule Breakers newsletter service. Every month, David Gardner leads a team of analysts in unearthing a couple of ultimate growth-stock ideas. When he's right, Category 5 investing can be a thing of beauty. Four of the 24 recommendations from last year have gone on to more than double. When he's wrong, the damage can be brutal. Half of this year's picks are sporting double-digit losses at the moment.
The key to aggressive growth-stock investing is to let your winners run. If you land that 10-bagger, it means that nine other similar investments can go to zero and you'll still have broken even.
Taking chances has led the service to single out some pretty eclectic -- if not outright eccentric -- companies. Harris & Harris (Nasdaq: TINY) is a nanotechnology investor seeking big things from small technology. You may be familiar with iRobot (Nasdaq: IRBT), the company that revolutionized home maintenance with its Roomba robotic vacuum cleaners; it's now making the battlefront safer with roadside-bomb-detecting robots.
Buying into new technology is risky. In fact, both of these stocks are trading for less than they were when the companies were first recommended. That's OK. Disruptive technology may not disrupt overnight, but when it does, the upticks can come in a hurry.
I am fortunate enough to have been with The Motley Fool in the mid-1990s, when David was recommending the purchase of companies such as America Online, Iomega, and Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN). They seemed like radical investments at the time. AOL was battling it out in the cutthroat realm of dialup online services. Iomega was a tired data-storage company betting big on its proprietary Zip disk product. Amazon was trying to turn retail distribution upside-down by shipping book orders placed online directly to the end user. AOL, Zip, and online shopping took off, and so did David's real-money Rule Breakers portfolio.
Andrew, 14 years later
The storms keep coming. I still live in Miami, so I've had my share of windstorms come by in recent years. By the time you read this, Hurricane Ernesto may be gone, but it is barreling awfully close to my homestead at the moment.
Storms continue, but so do investing ideas. Last month, I looked at investing styles and labeled them like hurricane categories.
* Category 1 took a peek at high-yielding investments.
* Category 2 emphasized value stocks.
* Category 3 approached the merits of a balanced portfolio.
* Category 4 explored small-cap stocks.
Wrapping things up with the most powerful -- and sometimes dangerous -- basket of stocks makes sense. I'm part of the Rule Breakers team of analysts. I buy stocks in all shapes and flavors, though I'm always smitten by a good young growth stock with a great story to tell.
Oh, they do tell stories. It was easy to snuggle up to Intuitive Surgical (Nasdaq: ISRG) -- an active Rule Breakers recommendation that I sadly sold way too soon -- once it became clear how operating rooms around the country were taking to Intuitive's surgical robotic arms. It was easy to fall for Baidu.com (Nasdaq: BIDU) -- China's leading search engine -- on the promise of the improving economic state of the world's most populous nation.
I'll probably be heading further in that direction in the coming weeks. I don't fear Category 5 investing. I've seen David excel at it for nearly as long as I've been telling stories of how I made it through Hurricane Andrew.

will MKTY meet its 3 Q goals and milestones ?
So far its met them all year..
GERN up 3.5% in pre market to $6.80 eom.
fossa I had a nice summer ,
hope u did as well,
good to see ya on Ihub..
I think I have found another good investment check out http://www.wirelessledger.com
stock is IDCC
DELL and now apple doing a recall on their batteries
MKTY shows even more potential in the future
IMO
ACTC ceo founded comany Geron NASDAQ GERN and he has 8 years at ACTC ..
If ACTC turly has a way to use stem cells without killing the cell it would be a much faster way to get stem cells to market helping the whole industry .
I am watching ACTC for now and I own shares of GERN which are near 52 week low and has almost 800 pattens.
This could also effect goverment helping fund stem cells unless the thruth behind not funding is SPECIAL INTRESTS which probably is the case..
EVERY AMERICAN needs to vote in Nov,.
whats the answer to chase or not to chase?
Jimlur
please explian to me why IDCC's price is only $30 and its EPS is over $4 shouldn't IDCC be at least $50 with its current EPS?
Or am I missing something?
esa GREAT post thanks ! Go GERN!!
I was talking to Mr Bojor...(however its spelled forgive me..
CONTRACTS would be cool!
WAY COOL
the cat's meow
I am talking the BEE's KNEES!!!
I even called the guy that issued a PR about PLFM former member of PLFM board and he said that the product is real but he did not like the mgnt. thats pretty much all he would tell me .
There is a ton of shares of plfm now days but after what happened to N.O. via katrina our systems may indeed caught some more attention plfms way if our system works the way it should orders could pile in as cell towers are very expencive PLFM system could be more profitible for remote areas where cell towers are too expencive to be placed a price alternitive may indeed be PLFM arc system.
lets hope for the best.
My take on PLFM
my current postiton is worth like 450 dollars or so and I spent close to 6,000 or maybe more not sure..
since I kept buying in at differant prices .
It does indeed make me sick to even think about it ..
However lesson learned in the penny mkt world however I have had much worse investments in penny land than PLFM but PLFM lost me more money coz i invested more.
The other on was SSPC Southern states power co. they said they were selling bio diesel fuel they were crooks the stock had a great run up but when the stock fell 80% in one day I called the ceo was on vacation SSTP is out of business they took the money and ran...they have no phone number now.
Why would PLFM who is still way ahead in the industry fight the SEC still try to land contracts upgrade their system and Bill Martin invest his own money to keep us alive if this was a true scam.
I know plfm had made many mistakes but they keep on fighting at least its not a dead duck yet we still have some hope unlike SSPC.The fact is now nothing is going to move PLFM until a contract is signed period we have a chance .
I am in no way happy I lost a ton of my hard earned money and even got friends into it and they lost on plfm too.
But lets give them a shot to perhaps turn things around or sell at a huge loss My decsion is to hold whats 450 more dollars after you lost over 6,000?

SAN FRANCISCO — Pioneering startup Nantero Inc. is picking up the carbon nanotube CMOS fabrication development work it started with LSI Logic Corp. with a new partner — On Semiconductor, the new owner of the Gresham, Ore. facility where the work has been done.
ON Semiconductor bought the Gresham fab from LSI Logic for $105 million last month. The facility is 130-nanometer production capable, making it ideal for the development work, the companies said. ON Semiconductor said it retained substantially all of the facility's employees, including most of the in-house engineering team. Nantero had been working with LSI Logic as a manufacturing partner prior to the company's decision to sell the fab.
"We see tremendous potential in this joint project," said Greg Schmergel, Nantero's co-founder and CEO. "Nantero has successfully worked with the engineering team in Gresham for years and we look forward to working with ON Semiconductor to make the world's first production semiconductor devices using carbon nanotubes."
Nantero's proprietary processes for the use of carbon nanotubes are CMOS-compatible and are presently under development at ON Semiconductor's Gresham semiconductor manufacturing campus. The facility was the first production fab in the world to qualify carbon nanotubes, according to the companies.
Within the past month, Nantero (Woburn, Mass.), announced it has fabricated and successfully tested a 22-nanometer memory switch and reportedly said it expects its carbon nanotube nonvolatile memory to come to market in 2007.
"The technological accomplishments already achieved by Nantero in the Gresham facility are impressive," said Bill George, senior vice president of operations for ON Semiconductor, in a statement, "and we expect to work together to realize additional milestones in the integration of carbon nanotubes in CMOS processes."
Can anyone guess if Bill Gates will help fund GERN?
sounds good .
keep praying for the best we need it.
when will the yahoo posters find Ihub and post on here much much way way better and less bashing ..
Ihub rules

IDCC a few years a go was 80$ a share when the mkt was great ..
When do u think IDCC at what price should split its shares ?
Any word on dividends on this stock
?
if they use it..that is
jimlur
I think IDCC should buy MKTY its a very small company working on fuel cell batteries its working with the air force and the army and partnered with Duracell (Gillete owned company) and Dupont and now partnered with Samsung to devlop prototypes of fuel cell batteries for cell phones.
IDCC could and should easily buy them I have e-mailed them the idea and asked if they use it to compensate me for the idea...
jimlur according to yahoo stats IDCC has 336 million in cash I know most of their buyback of shares is almost complete as announced in the cc ..
Do u look for IDCC to buy a company or a special dividend?
jimlur
I was wanting to listen to replay of conf call but the one on IDCC;s web site is not working for me for some reason what is the 1800 # to call to get replay? or when will yahoo get the replay its worked on there before..?
thanks
Jimlur,
What do you think is going on with Samsung ?
Now that Nokia finally paid up and stuff..
Do you think IDCC is netgotiating an ideal 3 g contract with it?
Just will Samsung SING?
