AWESOME TECHBEAR
Jakes_dad, Techbear, Pitbull
To Jacks_dad: Not a one trade but bunch of trades added together at end of the day.
Techbear and Pitbull can you guys post your TA on bottom point this week and next breakout point or any other TA that you have. NO IT IS NOT BORING, at least not to me. Do you guys have sofware that indicates that like (esignal if it does, i don't know) or just use your knowledge gained to analize daily trends. I really need to learn that stuff soon. Any awesome easy to read and understand books/websites. Websites i found were using jargon but not much explanations.
Thanks in advance.
P.S
I found this website which is somewhat helpfull and realtime also but it does not state flag types or candlestick patters.
If it would do that in realtime (say every 15 min) then that is all i would need.

Rocky is this site wrong then !!!
Rocky according to this site it states $50 million pre-tax INCOME not market captitalization. I am reading this wrong or is the site incorrect. Rock please look at the site and let me know. I hate to dwell on this but now i'm confused even more.

P.S
Thanks Juststocks and previous posters. I won't just post Thanx as separate post cause if everyone did that we would have RB board here. Also I can barely keep up with daily posts so going through unnecessary posts is pain.
AMEX listing requirement option 3
Under that requirement GTEL has to meet $50 mils in revenue pre-tax, so that leads me to assume that Year end must be at or above $50 mils revenue otherwise we won't be accepted. I think company already knows that that this has been meet or surpassed otherwise they would have not applied yet. Anyone disagrees ?
SO I GUESS WE CAN EXPECT YEAR END REVENUE AT OR OVER $50,000,000 which is very nice.

Juststocks and Techbear
Where can i learn more on RSI, FMI and other TA factors in real time data. On ameritrade I see RSi but no FMI. Did you guys read any book on TA or are there great websites one can learn about.
I'm here do to fundamentals however TA when dealing with millions (not that i have any)is necessary in my opinion to look for entry and exit points.
P.S
Techbear i was very impressed when you posted FMI cross and run up. It did turn up the way you said it would. I thank you for your replays in advance.
WiMax vs Strat
" Usage of the 802.16 standard of WiMax requires a global upgrade on the user-end as a vast majority are now @ 802.11b/g"
I agree with you 100%. I think you hit a nail on the head.
Going with current standard makes an easier transition then having everyone upgrade their routers to 802.16 which could take yrs and lots of money which not all have. I do realize however that startards change year by year from a to b to g so that might be inevitable.
"Also, I don't see WiMax as THE answer, due to its range of 3-30 miles. The stratellite has a range of 300,000 sq miles."
Also the range, cost and diversification of applications that can be used on strat is way bigger advantage then WiMax.
I think we have a winner here as long as GTEL can make this idea float.
Russ.
My opinion is that if GTEL ever threatens big giant like Intel in a major way then i would expect Intel to simple take their check book out and buy them out rather then competing with them and loose millions. Isn't that always the case.
Guys thanx for your replays. I appriciate it.
Caradoc. Airplanes crash so why not Strats ?
Actually prototype will be 1/3 size of the later full size one and I know it floats however i was pointing to the possibility of malfunctioning and droping from the sky due to whatever malfunction (batteries failing at night do to temperatures or solar panels shorting) Airplanes fly however i've heard of few crash due to whatever reason (besides human error or desire [terrorists]). I'm just curious about safty precautions, that's all !!
Satallies have luxory of being in orbit so they can't fall from sky cause earth would burn it to pieces. That is the reason they are not recoverable. Strats are not that high for this safty mechanism.
Anyone knows any safty triggers or machanisms that self destroy or something. I'm sure no one would want 2 ton 9 stories high football field falling on their neighborhood with speed of few houdred miles per hr. Kinda violent event don't you think. Sorry about vivid description but i have a vivid imagination.
What is FFA and FCC stand on it ?
Rock any guidence from your perpective
STRATALLITE FLOAT SAFTY
I would be more worried about a malfunction and Strat size of the football field, 9 stories high and few tons of weight falling from the sky on someonce neighborhood. Imagine series of them.
CHANNEL FAX NEWS: IT'S RAINING STRATS TODAY FOLKS.....LOL
Kidding aside. Anyone cares to comment on safty issues over metro areas ? What is FFA stand on it anyone knows
I have a large stake in this so kidding like that might be quite dangerous when rookies with weak hands sell off due to scare.
BTW. IS LAUNCH IN CALI OPEN TO PUBLIC VIEWING ?
Marcq4 revenue from starts are too low
I quote Marcq4 repost
"...Each Strat could potentially bring in 5-10 Mil. per year in income for GTEL.."
My replay:
Each strat COST ONLY will be between 5-20mils each without any maintenance(depending what source you are getting the info from) so if each strat would bring 5-10mils PER YEAR GTEL WOULD BE IN NEGATIVE MARGIN on Strat project. I'm sure that is not the busines model for Strat project that gtel menagment had in mind. In fact if VoIP brings 1 million per week then they would have rather focus on that if that would be the case. If one would have mentioned 5-10 million per WEEK THEN that would be better revenue projection in my opinion. Especially if one would anticipate to have Microsoft or Cisco as partners.
In my opinion if Gtel is sucessfull in strats then i see this company in Billions revenue not millions. Also I would love to see Gtel accomplish what SKYT did. Look at SKYT revenue...a joke and still trades as OTCBB however 2yr run is AMAZING and GTEL has way way bigger potential then SKYT and way way bigger revenue already. Sometimes i just don't get stocks share prices.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=SKYT.OB&t=2y
P.S
I'm planning vacation in Cali around launch date so i can watch it live (is that open to public ?) or at least shareholders summit. I'm from chitown. Good night and Go GTEL,
STRAT TESTING and TECHNICALS
Rocky i have a question. I'm somewhat confused on the issue between terms below. Can someone expalin what each means
"TESTING THE COMUNICATIONS" described here
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=3555790
This means that technology was successfull in testing but what was this tested on ...on Strat ? if so wansn't that first strat and what highth ? If not on strat then what ?
"LIVE DEMOSTRATION ON JULY 13, 2004"
Did this ever took place if so wasn't this first Strat test
or was this moved to March 2005th.
Also I remember seeing somewhere detailed technical description of how stratallite will work day and night in stratoshere. Can someone post a link to it so i can read it again. I can't find it. Don't remember where i saw it.
Coleman replay !!!
I have asked this question before and I hope she was uninformed cause it does not match what gtel website states
Here is an email
===============================================
Dear Sir, We plan to have a shareholder presentation end March after test flight of Airship

Subject: Investor's meeting before Strat lunches ?
Good morning,
I’m shareholder of GTEL and would like to find out when and where will meeting of investors take place to view the Stratallite,
as mentioned on Globetel website ? What will other content be besides viewing of Stratallite ? Will executives be there and Konig ?
Thank you.
0.32 our new base until news or major event happens IMO.
Do you guys agree or disagree ? Stock has resistance at 0.35 and support at .315+ This is not TA. Just my observation
LABIG OS ISSUE !!!
No offence bro but you need to start reading links posted on top of this board. Otherwords your own DD. We should be greatfull to Rocky that he actually took his time and did spoon feading for some of us. On bottom i posted links.
In my opinion OS won't be a problem if company is sucessfull in executing their vision.
The potential for revenue from Strats, VoIp and Calling Cards is huge. But to simply illustrate that 1B OS is no problem i will point you to SIRI stock and look at their statistics.
And the potential of GTEL is way way bigger then SIRI. Satallite radio will change radio. OOOOO....by the way...can you say Stratallite radio !!!!!???? GTEL might change TELECOM INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE. BIG DIFFERENCE IN TERMS OF REVENUE POTENTIAL and to me .34 cents price for this company is just plain STEAL. I'm jealous of some of you that stole this Gem at .02 or even .10.
SIRI
Price: $5.98
52 week high: $9.43
Revenue (ttm): 54.87M
Shares Outstanding: 1.26B
Float: 1.26B
Market Cap (intraday): 7.55B
Average Volume (10 day): 46,554,000
ALSO LOOK AT SKYT STOCK what this stock has achieved in 2 yrs.
Gtel i hope will do same. Although SKYT revenue is a plain joke where Gtel's might be billions

I have Ameritrade but here is my opinion since i had account with some of them.
MOST IMPORTANT MAKE SURE THAT THE ONE YOU CHOOSE HAS FLAT RATE FOR ALL STOCK ORDERS INCLUDING OTCBB ORDERS and has all trading tools you will need. Ameritrade is flat $10.99 rate.
Etrade is cream of the crop and has best tools for internet trading however they charge $19.xx for trades. Active traders get cheaper rates. I'm not sure if they charge per share for OTCBB.
Ameritrade has as good tools for trading as etrade except the platform is not as much as customizable as etrade's one but for me $10.99 for all orders including trailing stops is best deal. 30 free trades when you join. Active traders get cheaper rates. http://ameritrade.com/offer/30.html
IF YOU ARE REALLY CHEAP FELLA go with Freetrade, Ameritrade's division with most of tools Ameritrade has. 20 free trades each month. Not sure how they make their money so DO read every small print on the page.
http://freetrade.com/
Scottrade has good deal on paper it looks like however i'm not sure what kind of trading tools they have so i can't speak for that one. If you choose Scottrade make sure they have all tools that you need for live up to second trading.
In my opinion I would do research on Freetrade first before you join. Sharebuilder in my opinion is not a good choice unless you trade with budget of $1000 or less. If more then in my opinion i would go with some well established platform.
GLOBETEL 2 LISTINGS OTCBB AND NASDAQ
This is weird guys. I went to Amex . com site and did this --->Symbol lookup -----> typed in GlobeTel ----> and choose --->search by name
Results:
Symbol Name Market Type
GTEL Globetel Communs Corp OTC BB
GTELE Globetel Comms Corp Nasdaq
Summary Table Detail List
Name Symbol Last Sale Net Change % Change Volume
Globetel Comms Corp GTELE N.A. N.A. N.A. N.A. N.A. N.A. ET
ALTHOUGH WHEN YOU GO TO NASDAQ SITE GLOBETEL 2ND ONE IS NOT LISTED ANYWHERE !!! I think it's another company but no data exists under ticker. It seems like a newly created one.
Dont want to start any stupid rumor as i know for nasdaq we don't qualify yet but makes me wonder. And if it was true why would that be listed on amex if it would trade on nasdaq. Also Gtel applied to amex i believe. Is there any way that gtel could qualify for nasdaq ? Man that's messed up. I'm confused now.
Rocky feel free to step in
INSTITUTIONAL BUYING INCREASED
Here is the reson i think stock is going up.
Notice the pie chart on the bottom between one month and one day.
Notice that for the prior month total was 7% total IB,
where just in one day we increased 3% to total of 11%.
Also retail buying has increased little as well.
NOW MY QUESTION IS...is that Institutional buying due to covering due to SHO regulations or institutions accumilating shares.
By the way...When did these regulations kick in and do they cover pink sheets as well ?
http://thomson.finance.lycos.com/lycos/iwatch/cgi-bin/iw_ticker?t=GTEL&range=0&mgp=0&hda....
P.S
I thank everyone for posting their opinions. I realy enjoy this board by reading meaninful info not bashing or stupid remarks that do waste my time reading useless posts.
Summit and action going on latly
Does anyone know what city and state Gtel is holding it's summit ?
What is going on latly that stock is surging up ?
Forward Split question and few others.
1. As i see almost close to 1 billion shares outstanding do you guys see ever a forward split ? Even if it would hit 10$ is that possible ? 1 billion shares is aaaaaaaaaaaa lottt.
I looked at LU just to compare what happens to price if OS is high. Granted LU has 4B. That big giant can barly move....stuck.
2. You guys know some tricks to borrow money from bank or whatever way ? I have a margin account but no good for otcbb. Well we have a long way to $4 so i can use margin. DAMN ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. I wish i would have house that i'm paying off, so i can take equity loan on it...LOL. If you have an idea then let me know.
3. Do you guys know what city and state that partners summit is taken place ? Also any info on investors summit ? Do you think it will be in same area or not ?
I send an email to find out.
Also thx for everyones opinion on anything. I don't replay THANX cause post are limited in numbers.
william2112 and Russ
Will..pardon my ignorance but i don't understand what exacly are you saying in your post. Can you explain how stratallies tie into cell phone towers and what did you mean about the resellers. To be quite honest your whole post is not clear.
Would you please elaborate.
Russ thank you for your interpretation.
Major $ is going to be in US so i just hope the focus of managment will remain here, however i do understand the concept of gettting your foot in the door somewhere else demonstrating to the world that it's fisable and marketable.
P.S
I think Rocky is mad at me. He does not take part in any of my debates..LOL.
jimcognito....it's inevitable.
Time works in favor of new technology.
If big co. will not want it, there will be some enterprenuer like Donald Trump or Richard Bronson who will venture into business like that to compete. These people are loaded and can afford it. LOL...IRONICALLY LOOK HERE
http://www.forbes.com/facesinthenews/2004/12/07/1207autofacescan01.html
Also when internet was growing very rapidly and email communications started to replace regular letters....post office was making fuss about decreasing in volume and revenues of post office. Did email win i think so. Post office is still in business as it should be obviously.
MAYBE GTEL SHOULD MEET WITH BRONSON TO DISCUSS BUSINESS AND INVESTMENTS. I WOULD DEFINITLY PERUSE THIS TYPE OF ROUTE IF I WOULD BE LOOKING FOR INVESTMENTS.
I am also so happy that gtel has VoIP which is going to be huge as well and they have something to fall back on in case they run into some problems.
RUSS: Strats to be introduced in SuperHubs infrastructure.
I can see what you are saying however...tell me if you agree or disagree and why ?
RUSS: "GTEL is primarily looking abroad to find cheaper ways to facilitate broadband internet access (among other things) in remote areas"
Well yes they have signed 2 contracts abroad but i'm not sure where from have you concluded that they want to focus mainly abroad services. In letter to shareholders CEO states that STRATS would be implemented over time in infrastucture which is alredy created by them....SUPERHUBS. Look at their main site and look what superhubs cover...WHOLE US, SOUTH AMERICA, ASIA, ALASKA and few other smaller coutries. At least in my understanding that is their direction. sebass
Russ: "..if the STRAT does indeed prove to offer a cheaper alternative to what the BIG GUYS are doing, don't you think they just might want to buy the technology to KEEP IT FROM BECOMING A REALITY.... so their infrastructure of hardware can continue to satisfy needs at higher but stable prices.."
I can understand your point but if that would be the case we would still be watching black and white tvs. Look at HDTV when it was introduced...did the big boys tried to stop it...NO...they bought into to it.
From revenue perspective it's also NO..because if Verizon last year spent 12 billion on cell phone towers and it would cost them only 2 billion to use STRATS(if they prove to be working grea) then they would be able to save 10 billion in cost and MARGIN WOULD BE HUGE. They sure would not over cheaper services....what they would do they would introduce new technology like 3G/4G and change the same pricees $50/month. In this scenario they would have made huge margins, bigger net income and reduce costs. Consumers will never get cheaper rates...instead they will get brand new, state of the art 3G technology.
What a Dumb A$$
I quote from an articule:
"But even if the stratellites function as advertised, questions persist. "Even if they're successful in getting it to work, why do we need this?" asks Bruce Elbert, president of consulting firm Application Technology Strategy. "Any time there's U.S. demand for service, Verizon, SBC, MCI, or AT&T is going to meet it by putting up towers and running cables." http://www.networkmagazine.com/shared/article/showArticle.jhtml?articleId=57701941&classroom=
Why..do we need it you outh...I'll explain to you you cave man. Simple to evolve. Go back to the cave. It's like saying why do we need satallite cable service if we have cable television. That Bruce guy is an outh.
Any cell phone company instead of spending 12 billion dollars on cell phone towers as Verizon did last year would be willing to spend 1 billion saving themselves 11 billion in cost and provide same type of service. THAT'S WHY YOU OUTH. Military intelligance, home land security survailance of boarders etc, etc...man comments by stupid people like guy just get me steamed up.
GTEL AMEX marginable ? Gtel=10cents ?
I am well aware that no bb stocks is marginable.
Now when we move to AMEX would GTEL become marinable security right a way or are there certain requirements ? ...and what are these requirements ? Thanks in advance.
Second question is ....
Do you guys ever see this stock in near future to trail back to 10 cents. I know most of you are long and so am I but I would love the opportunity to load up before it takes off like a rocket some day. We all know it's inevitable one day...write ? lol
TPAERO AND ROCKY Re:Employee cound and volume
TPAERO
What was the ball park volume of the co. that you mentied when it was trading on bb before moing to amex ?
Rocky
Guys i was not talkin about employees that build or are involved with project but employees that do accounting, finance, sales, marketing, hr, it for GTEL. They need those people in house to do the work. Trust me i want this company to succeed and i have much invested in it it just seems to me 20 employees is not adequate for all those products they have on the horizon. As they said it themselves....that each business of their they want it to stand on it's own so people would have to be asssigned to earch area. Now do the calcuations
Employees count:
EXECUTIVE STAFF (in executive staff itself represents 30%
of the companies staff)
1. Przemyslaw L. Kostro - Chairman of the Board
2. Timothy M. Huff - Director & Chief Executive Officer
3. Leigh Coleman - President
4. Jerrold R. Hinton - Director
5. Mitchell A. Siegel - Director & Chief Operating Officer
6. Thomas Y. Jimenez - CPA & Chief Financial Officer
NOW LETS DO SOME MATH ON REMANING EMPLOYEES:
7. ACCOUNTING
8. FIANANCE
9. IT
10.HR
11.SALES
12.MARKETING
13.LEGAL
14.PAROLL
15.TAXES
16.VoIP assinged employee
17.Calling Card assigned employee
18.Stratallies assigned employee
19.Magic phone assigned employee
20.SuperHubs assigned employee
I did not even mentioned Directors, Managers and supervisors assigned to each department or project.
I might have missed some dept but as you see that's assigning only one person per department. My concern is that's not a lot of employees for company. Assigning one person per department is kinda ridicules. One person can not run a department.
Again i thank everyone for eligtening me and i'm not being negeative or bashing but stating my concern if i have one and if i believe it should be address and resolved for all of our sake. And if i'm being uninformed or ignorant please just straigten me out in nice way. Again i am long and have substantial amount of shares and looking for adding more.
But please look at this issue with your eyes open. Dont dismiss it right off the bet.
Lonewolf_Uno and Rocky..20employees and 250mils revenue in 23months ?
Lonewolf how did you come up with 250mils revenue in 23 months ?
If that would be that case then this stock will be soon at $4 easy.
...and i'm baffeled that no one questions # of employees.
For god sake...meanagment is probably 10 employees including officers and directors.
What about accounting, finance, payroll, marketing, IT, legal, Hr, Sales, etc, etc
WHAT 1 PERSON PER DEPARTMENT ?
Besides as far growth is concerned start up comapanies and i'm not talking about GTEL...let's say IPO's that go public...OFTEN IF NO DATA IS MEASURED YET COMPANY'S GTROWTH IS ESTIMATED BY EMPLOYEES GROWTH PER QUATER.
I doubt 1 person per department would be considered GREAT MENAGEMENT !!! Just my 2 cents.
Just looking for someone to shead some light on this issues since i doubt especially if they hope Strats are sucessfully that 1 person per department can achieve growth and awesome profitability.
P.S
Here is something unrelated to the topic that is hilarious.
You need to have speakers to hear.
http://home.comcast.net/~greegan1/tech.swf
Yeah i'm interested in how Lockheed and other did with those.
I however believe that spaceship will be a lot better then those stupid blimps.
ROCKY..GTEL ONLY 20 EMPLOYEES & MY 8 QUESTIONS !!!
Rock and everyone thanx for clearing things up for me.
I very much appricate your input and also i notice that this board is really good unlike other were there is a lot of bashers and negative people that post useless comments not related to anything really.
I have few more questions.
1. I noticed that on this board it states that GTEL has only 20 employees...what ????? 5-10 of them are probably officers and directors so 10 left for all those 4 projects they have going on. I don't think 20 employees can run this company, unless i am mistaken about the number. I am LONG and very optimistic after all the info i read about GTEL so i'm not being negative but just stating my concerns
2. Someone has mentioned that AMEX move would be "next month"
Hmmm...that would put us in Feb or March. So soon ?
3. Anyone has info on percentage of shares held by insitutional holders ?
4. Regarding SNWR shares. I noticed that when news came out about South American companies wanting strats SNWR shares jumped 51% where Gtel only did 25% or so that day. Do people not realize that Strats projects were bought by GTEL and therefore revenue and future is with GTEL not SNWR. I kinda wish GTEL would have spiked up that much but then again i now have developed taste for more shares by adding as much as 75% more soon then i hold now so some peoples uninformed decision will be my gain.
5. Finally. How many shares do you guys hold ? The reason i'm curious is that i'm trying to figure out hom much stake you guys have riding on this stock. Also it would be helpfull if you guys would post what percentage is GTEL in your portfolio in terms of shares.
6. ROCKY can i ask you how many shares you hold and what other postions you have in your portfolio besides gtel. ?
I hope this is not too personal. I'm willing to share if other are. I really would not see what the big deal would be about stating that
7. Also someone has mentioned that 18x stonger force would be needed to keep this ship floating in stratosphere with 1/18 of the weight...something about the wind was stated as well. Dont remember exacly what was said. No one has replied to that post but was very interesting point.
8. Cevlar vs Titanium. Which is stonger and lighter and why they chose cevlar.
SNWR..disapear.shouldn't the shares of SNWR disapear from being traded after the registration of SNWR is completed with Gtet, and share holders of snwr would get less shares of gtel.
If not then i am confused. If Gtel is going to make revenues on strats then what's the point of snwr shares trading around if revenues will not reflect SNWR shares. Besides i think that would be illigal. Please replay.
Any shorts are welcomed in my opinion. Why ?
First...they give me oprotunity to load up when it gaps down to average down my per share price
Second...when good news hits, which latly happens often longs buy and they cover creating nice squzze up along with longs buying surging the price up.
Third...I hate shorts and love to take their money...LOL.
Why i hate them...well they make stupid choices for shorting.
Example they would rather short a company that did 400% in 1 month then company that is on very edge of bankrupcy like DAL airlines and short it form $5 to $1 let's say..nice 500% profit...anyway. my 2 cent...thanks averyone for replies.
I AM LOOKING FORWARWARD TO LUNCH.
Thx Rocky for your replay and time. Apprciate it
TARGET PRICE BY YEAR END AND OUT.SHARES.
NEWBIE HERE. BOUGHT ON MONDAY GOOD CHUNK OF SHARES...VERY HAPPY AFTER TODAY'S RALLY.
QUESTION FOR YOU ALL
What's your TRAGET PRICE BY YEAR END ? and what do you think about amount of oustanding shares ?
My comment on AMEX stock exchange is that it would be a mistake. AMEX makes every company to loose HUGE volume. Nasdaq is best of them all due to the reason of visable level II quotes. I bought few stocks on AMEX and i won't trade any stock anymore if it's on AMEX. For whatever the reson i associate AMEX with industrial stocks like stell, oil, gas etc. Not sure what the reasoning is behind choosing AMEX
GTEL is telecome and wifi internet IT BELONGS IN TELECOME AND TECH SECTOR ON NASDAQ. ROCKY WE SHOULD PETITION AND SEND TO CEO.
IT WILL BE HUGE MISTAKE IF THEY GO AMEX BUT then on the other hand they can't stay OTCBB if they are serious about the busines. NASDAQ is the only option. Let me know what you think about AMEX listing and Target price and Outstanding shares.
We should petition and send to CEO.
Rocky please comment as well
