Chatham, problem is little avisability giving to charity. Now, giving bulbs to friends to try may be the way to go. Word of mouth is better than advertising for credibility purposes. It would be a snowball affect, people tell friends about the bulb, and those people tell their friends, etc etc. That could work as people on this MB are from all over the U.S., and some live abroad. Does this make sense?
Donate the light bulbs to a charity?
I'm concerned that to much emphasis is being placed on the pending 10Q results. Remember, it's all speculation until we see the numbers. I believe it will be good, but not a blowout.
Market bleeding again today.
At the moment it appears the market clitch yesterday didn't really affect ZVTK at all.
oops, that's 2.2B O/S
With 2.2M O/S it takes volume to move the ask side. Or it moves very slowly.
Interesting article below.

No stop losses were triggered on ZVTK. Can't put a stop loss on a stock under a penny. Stop lose minimum is 1 cent. I do not believe the puter clitch created a problem for us other than creating panic selling that affected many stocks. I agree we should see some upside tomorrow now that the market sell off was not contributed to "somebody knows something". The announced puter clitch will put investor's minds at ease.
gawd! -683 and dropping. Looks like panic selling now.
easy -400+ before close.
wow! Market down -238
I do find it strange that there are constant sells and no buys. I would think there should be a better mixture of buys/sells. To me this is strange.
Dilution not causing this. Market has taken some serious hits the past few days, thousands of good stocks are down. Need to be patient at this point. I'm thinking about shutting the computer down instead to watching every tick and become tempted to sell, which I feel would be a mistake.
can't use stop loss on this stock. Stop loss has to be at least 1 cent.
I don't believe PPS drop has anything to do with ZVTK's potential. It's could be a combination of 3 days of a declining market, plus no news on retail sales contracts. 0.005 has been the stopper in the past, lets just hope it doesn't eat through that.
Sorry to say but I'm not that impressed with the new commercial. As others have said, investors frustrated that ZVTK is back to commercials and not reporting on retail sales status. The decline in PPS is reflecting their dissatisfation.
As no one has seen the new ads maybe ZVTK is waiting to announce the retail contracts. A new ad costs about $70k it makes sense they would inform consumers in this new commercial where the bulbs can be bought, otherwise they would have to spend another $70 to advise that the bulb is being sold in stores.
It's possible that the arrests of SPNG excutives for conspiracy could have scared some people. Plus the news about more advertising instead of naming retailers could also have something to do with it. If ZVTK did file a few days late it doesn't matter as SEC provides that grace period to all companies. Many take advantage of it.
Nice sell off. Guess people got tired waiting for retail sales confirmation.
Stooz, exactly. Also remember the light bulb industry is a 1+billion dollar a year industry. ZVTK's competition is very limited due to the uniqueness of their bulb. ZVTK is marketing their bulb at a good time before many others follow the technology. I'm presently not that familiar with the patent and exactly what it legally covers, so I can't trend into that territory. ZVTK certainly appears to have the right management team to propel future sales. We'll know in the near future. GLTA
That's fine about viatek, but are they gaining national exposure and pending retail contracts as ZVTK? I dont think so. I don't consider them as a threat at all.
Three things to look for in a penny stock: (1)Revenue Potential; (2) Growth Potential; and (3) Profit Potential. Exellent potential for all three. The PRO's for this stock are to numerous to list. The CON's, only one I can think of, 2.2B O/S. Although not unusual for penny stocks to have a large volume of O/S. Through experience I'm not one to hold onto a stock with red flags, I'll dump them in a heartbeat. I've been holding ZVTK for a few months now and still have a strong positive attitude toward the stock and its future. Tax Man was right about greed, unfound riches and following that dream into oblivion. GLTA.
Probably true Arnold, but ZVTK had to go nationally with their ads before putting Ionic bulb into stores.
Market Makers did their job, gawd this is frustrating.
yep, NITE did the same thing yesterday, wouldn't allow the PPS to go over 0.0059.
There's no doubt in mind our boy NITE is doing a good job manipulating. Look at all the buys at 0.0059, and it only took one sell for a down tick. Go figure.
NITE just will not let go of 0.0059
That's interesting, no sign of the MM NITE yet. NITE is usually logged on early.
Agree with the watch pot never boils. :)
Well, doesn't appear ZVTK will not have news today unless they have a rare late PR later today.
NITE is in control of both bid and ask now. I suspect he'll run 0.0038 into the ground as he did 0.0059.
0.0060 - 0.0061, gaining strength.
"As seen on TV logo would be display in red. Believe lower right is pricing information.
ZVTK will have to implement new ads advising consumers of the retail stores selling the Ionic Bulb. Should be an interesting week - I hope.
Etrade here, not having that problem on MarketTrader or Etrade Pro platforms.
I would say the bottom right of the package is "TM" (for Trade Mark), the upper right may be "as seen on TV", red is the right color.
To enlarge bulb package: Upper right of internet explorer see the "page" tab, click to drop menu, see "zoom", increase the font size up to 400%.
Believe ZVYK's next move would be a couple of commercials telling consumers where they can purchase the bulb. Appears to be the next logical move. Of course that's assuming the company has a few contracts from retailers. Maybe that's why things have been kinda quiet up to this point.
I believe this whole ordeal has confused many traders which is causing the sell off at 0.0057. Will bounce back once everything becomes clear with investors.
