I always questioned in my mind the rationale for the "fight" connection but their marketing director made "cents" of that finally for me <vBg>
Hope you had a great T-Day

Tim~FSI~just checked my emails again but still nothing re: replay status... saw your message about numerous emails to yet read so I thought I would just post it here;

Tim~AID~tftr! eom
Tim~FSI~missed that CC.... wrote the company asking about "replay" status but no info from them as of this message.
Compared to most of my spec plays it is still doing well <g>

Tim~BWTR~can't blame you on the wait and "perhaps later"comment lol
I listened to this CC and it made sense to me (not cents <g>)
..bought more @ $ 5.95 and am underwater there as well (groan)
GL
kp
Tim~HSOA~are you caught up yet? eom
OT~waltc98~lol~ya know, no one ever ask me that before... ah, I guess it is what *you* see that counts, ya know, looking at things differently <g>
Is there something in that picture you post that were supposed to see? I'm confused on that saying at the bottom of your posts
You, IMO, should be congratulated for asking and admitting your confusion. That is the first step in looking at things differently and now, perhaps, seeing something differently.
For *me* it is about raising your head above the tall grass to get a different view of where you are going... what is coming up ahead rather than being content with the limited view below...
...like getting lost in a corn field? It all looks the same until you raise above it and get a handle on where you are going by getting a different vantage point.
IMO some folks are like cattle and just follow... and can get lost in the process. Some decide they would like to see where it is they are going. ...sometimes it takes looking at things differently in order to see things differently, no?
I guess you can liken it to reading a 10Q. That is, raising above the tall grass to get a view of where things are and where things are going lol BTW after reading the TKO 10Q I am seeing things differently lol
I feel all too often we are content in only seeing things the same way as others in our clique. Associating with those that see things only in the same light as we do. In so doing, we seldom see the differences or bigger picture ...only the sameness and that limited scope.
When it comes to investing, I believe it matters *how we look at* the information we have at hand. For me it is important to always try to seek another point of view because when we look at things differently things *are* somehow different ... hope that all makes some sense to you? It does for me and is what I intended when I put that quote to that picture. We should all stick our necks out... and maybe get to see things differently lol
Sorry for rambling... GL and best!
Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours & members of this board and IHUB folks reading this!
kp
welcome back~!!! ...maybe you will bring some "luck" to the markets... I am getting killed (groan)
I read the 10Q and nothing of great concern or IMO improvement
The stun gun is still trying to be licensed to someone (*anyone*!!) as they don't look to develop it themselves. Seeing their $$ makes me think that is a good thing for the shareholders. Maybe they will find that "live-one" yet?
They also showed the numbers that I was interested in (licensing/royalty to SW) and they don't appear to be too onerous IMO and are not substantial enough to warrant the concerns I had.
The 10Q looked like a pretty stagnant situation at best.

OT;FYI~(wow I had no idea!) Army Desertion Rate Highest Since 1980
Nov 16, 6:41 PM (ET)
By LOLITA C. BALDOR (AP)
WASHINGTON (AP) - Soldiers strained by six years at war are deserting their posts at the highest rate since 1980, with the number of Army deserters this year showing an 80 percent increase since the United States invaded Iraq in 2003.
While the totals are still far lower than they were during the Vietnam War, when the draft was in effect, they show a steady increase over the past four years and a 42 percent jump since last year.
"We're asking a lot of soldiers these days," said Roy Wallace, director of plans and resources for Army personnel. "They're humans. They have all sorts of issues back home and other places like that. So, I'm sure it has to do with the stress of being a soldier."
The Army defines a deserter as someone who has been absent without leave for longer than 30 days. The soldier is then discharged as a deserter.
According to the Army, about nine in every 1,000 soldiers deserted in fiscal year 2007, which ended Sept. 30, compared to nearly seven per 1,000 a year earlier. Overall, 4,698 soldiers deserted this year, compared to 3,301 last year.
The increase comes as the Army continues to bear the brunt of the war demands with many soldiers serving repeated, lengthy tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Military leaders - including Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey - have acknowledged that the Army has been stretched nearly to the breaking point by the combat. Efforts are under way to increase the size of the Army and Marine Corps to lessen the burden and give troops more time off between deployments.
"We have been concentrating on this," said Wallace. "The Army can't afford to throw away good people. We have got to work with those individuals and try to help them become good soldiers."
Still, he noted that "the military is not for everybody, not everybody can be a soldier." And those who want to leave the service will find a way to do it, he said.
While the Army does not have an up-to-date profile of deserters, more than 75 percent of them are soldiers in their first term of enlistment. And most are male.
Soldiers can sign on initially for two to six years. Wallace said he did not know whether deserters were more likely to be those who enlisted for a short or long tour.
At the same time, he said that even as desertions have increased, the Army has seen some overall success in keeping first-term soldiers in the service.
There are four main ways that soldiers can leave the Army before their first enlistment contract is up:
_They are determined unable to meet physical fitness requirements.
_They are found to be unable to adapt to the military.
_They say they are gay and are required to leave under the so-called "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
_They go AWOL.
According to Wallace, in the summer of 2005, more than 18 percent of the soldiers in their first six months of service left under one of those four provisions. In June 2007, that number had dropped to about 7 percent.
The decline, he said, is largely due to a drop in the number of soldiers who leave due to physical fitness or health reasons.
Army desertion rates have fluctuated since the Vietnam War - when they peaked at 5 percent. In the 1970s they hovered between 1 and 3 percent, which is up to three out of every 100 soldiers. Those rates plunged in the 1980s and early 1990s to between 2 and 3 out of every 1,000 soldiers.
Desertions began to creep up in the late 1990s into the turn of the century, when the U.S. conducted an air war in Kosovo and later sent peacekeeping troops there.
The numbers declined in 2003 and 2004, in the early years of the Iraq war, but then began to increase steadily.
In contrast, the Navy has seen a steady decline in deserters since 2001, going from 3,665 that year to 1,129 in 2007.
The Marine Corps, meanwhile, has seen the number of deserters stay fairly stable over that timeframe - with about 1,000 deserters a year. During 2003 and 2004 - the first two years of the Iraq war - the number of deserters fell to 877 and 744, respectively.
The Air Force can tout the fewest number of deserters - with no more than 56 bolting in each of the past five years. The low was in fiscal 2007, with just 16 deserters.
Despite the continued increase in Army desertions, however, an Associated Press examination of Pentagon figures earlier this year showed that the military does little to find those who bolt, and rarely prosecutes the ones they find. Some are allowed to simply return to their units, while most are given less-than-honorable discharges.
"My personal opinion is the only way to stop desertions is to change the climate ... how they are living and doing what they need to do," said Wallace, adding that good officers and more attention from Army leaders could "go a long way to stemming desertions."
Unlike those in the Vietnam era, deserters from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars may not find Canada a safe haven.
Just this week, the Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear the appeals of two Army deserters who sought refugee status to avoid the war in Iraq. The ruling left them without a legal basis to stay in Canada and dealt a blow to other Americans in similar circumstances.
The court, as is usual, did not provide a reason for the decision.

Sonny~back in CEOcast? What's up with that? Didn't you post that was over a few weeks back?
VOLUME 325 Companies featured in this edition of the newsletter: ACCP, ACTC, CLXS, CVM, DOC, DVLY, GNBT, GSCR, HSOA, HYTM, MBND, MSHI, PBIO, PLKH, PLRS, SMGY, TAGS, TKO, USAT, VOIC
Telkonet, Inc. (AMEX: TKO), the leader in providing in-building broadband access over existing electrical wiring and innovative energy management systems, last week reported it has sold its interest in BPL Global, Ltd., a privately-held company, to certain existing stockholders of BPL Global for $2.0 million, payable in cash. This represents a profit of approximately $1.85 million since Telkonet's investment in BPL Global in early 2005. The company also reported sharply improved 2007 Q3 results, as revenue surged to $4.7 million, up more than four-fold from a year-earlier. Gross profit jumped to $1.2 million, from less than $100,000 in the year-earlier period. Shares ended the week at $1.53, down 4 cents.

Thanks! I haven't been giving this stock much attention over the last week. Too many other positions are "crumbling" all around me lol
Good job on your trade this is the only you can make money with this company
I have a stack of SEC 10Qs to try and get through this weekend in between some football on the TV <g> ...TKO is toward the bottom of that stack. I don't have a pressing reason to wade through it seeing the stock is holding its share price fairly well ...I confess better than I suspected it would at this point.
Ron Pickett is nothing but a DUMB CEO who doesn't know how to run a successful company..RPs past speaks louder than words..
Some pretty ticked off folks on that CC. The company still has some *credibility currency* yet to burn with me so I continue to hold and watch with the intent of buying back those $1.80 shares lol ...maybe even a few more if some of my other holdings *cooperate*
I wouldn't wish this week's portfolio losses on my worst enemy <gg>

Man this is a tough market lol Glad this week is over!

Your pick shows no SEC filings since 10/05/06 & that was for 2005 so... good luck!

Mark~imo a good read...thanks! LIBOR seems to be linked to many of the sub-prime ARM repricing methods.
Three-month LIBOR rates on sterling climbed to 6.34% from 6.29% -- well above the 5.75% base rate of the Bank of England after the move. When inter-bank borrowing rates are significantly higher than base rates, it's usually taken as a sign of diminished trust in the financial sector.

May be time to add the second half of my latest position? Still looking at this for a 6-12 month hold and feel any where close to $7 or below will make an investor money.
Until it "got away" from Tim it was one of his favorite trading stocks getting it low $6's and trading out around $8
IMO this may be the case for the next quarter until it becomes more clear their business model deserves a higher share price

hey Mark~sentcha a PM Let me know what you think! eom

mark~tftr~RBY`thanks for the flow-through share info! Made perfect sense and well explained.
Based on the method of distribution I assumed the $$ to be Canadian
I am assuming it is the USD. However, since the article was written in Canada, I really don't know.

FYI; US, China Working on Biofuel Pact
Friday November 16, 7:25 AM EST
BEIJING (AP) — The United States and China are working on a pact to promote use of ethanol and other biofuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and could announce an agreement as early as next month, an American official said Friday.
The agreement would call for cooperation in research, producing crops for fuel and other areas, said Alexander Karsner, an assistant U.S. energy secretary. He was in Beijing for talks with Chinese officials on promoting use of renewable energy sources.
The United States and China are the world's biggest oil consumers and producers of carbon dioxide and other gases that scientists say trap the sun's heat and are raising global temperatures.
Karsner said he and Chinese officials talked about a meeting next month in Indonesia of environment officials from 80 countries to discuss a replacement for the Kyoto Protocol on emissions reductions. He said he did not bring up Washington's insistence that Beijing, a major emissions source, accept binding limits. China has rejected emissions caps but says it will try to curb gas production.
A biofuels agreement could be announced at the Dec. 12 meeting of the Strategic Economic Dialogue, a high-level U.S.-Chinese forum on trade and other issues, Karsner said. He declined to give details, saying they still are being discussed.
It would be Washington's first such pact in Asia, following similar agreements with Brazil and Sweden, Karsner told reporters.
"China is a natural, as would be India, to enhance cooperation on biofuels," he said.
China has promoted wind power and other alternative energy in hopes of reducing environmental damage from heavy use of coal and oil to fuel its booming economy. The communist government also wants to curb reliance on imported energy, which it sees as a strategic weakness.
China already is the third-largest producer of biofuels after the United States and Brazil, which account for 80 percent of global production, according to Karsner.
G/M all... thanks for the replies... I need to catch a few zzzzzzzzz before I pass out at the monitor lol

Was this filing what the folks here were expecting? I have been reading about all their "wins" and after reading this it appears if they got a *pending* $500k order that they still would have fallen short this Q
The decline in revenue was due to a delay in the receipt of a renewable order for wireless video kits that has been placed in each of the past two years by an agency of the U.S. Government. The order last year contributed $532,000 to third quarter revenue. Management anticipates LEA will receive a comparable or larger from the customer during this year's fourth quarter

Law Enforcement Associates Reports Third Quarter and Nine-Month Financial Results
8:03a ET November 15, 2007 (Market Wire)
Law Enforcement Associates Corporation (LEA) (AMEX: AID), the largest U.S. developer and manufacturer of undercover surveillance equipment, today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.
Third quarter revenue was $1.3 million versus $1.9 million in the third quarter a year ago. The decline in revenue was due to a delay in the receipt of a renewable order for wireless video kits that has been placed in each of the past two years by an agency of the U.S. Government. The order last year contributed $532,000 to third quarter revenue. Management anticipates LEA will receive a comparable or larger from the customer during this year's fourth quarter. To date the customer has placed total orders valued at approximately $2.3 million. LEA reported a third quarter net loss of $266,000, or $0.01 per weighted average basic share, versus net income of $102,000, or less than $0.01 per share, in the third quarter a year ago.
Through nine months, revenue was $5.1 million versus $5.6 million at the nine-month mark last year. Net loss was $226,000, or $0.01 per share, versus net income of $203,000, or $0.01 per share, in the nine-month period a year ago.
Paul Feldman, president, said, "Changes in a customer's procurement procedures impacted our financial performance during the third quarter. Fortunately, this was largely a timing issue, and we expect to receive a sizeable order from this customer before the end of the fiscal year.
"The efforts we have made during the past several months to expand our product offering and establish new sources of revenue are beginning to bear fruit. Our new Birddog GPS Tracking System, Smith & Wesson-branded SWIFT under-vehicle-inspection-system and several new covert electronic surveillance devices are gaining momentum within our target markets, and we believe will help us improve our top-line performance in fiscal 2008 and beyond."
"We are especially excited about the opportunities represented by our new Graffiti Cam(TM), a brand-new product offering that positions us within a large, non-traditional market that we believe could be very meaningful to LEA over the long term," Feldman added. "Earlier today, we participated in a news conference with Denver's Mayor, John Hickenlooper, and the city's Graffiti Task Force. These officials announced that Denver will be the first U.S. city to deploy our Graffiti Cam system as part of their effort to mitigate widespread graffiti and related property crimes."
Feldman said the Company already has received several small orders for the camera system, which is a portable, high-resolution video recording unit concealed in a covert enclosure. When the unit is activated via graffiti-related motion, it sends text messages of the event to law enforcement officers, as well as JPEG images to designated e-mail addresses. This automated notification system allows authorities to promptly dispatch resources.
"We firmly believe that these new products, combined with the assets of a surveillance vehicle line we recently acquired, have dramatically improved our prospects for growth during the upcoming fiscal year," Feldman concluded.

Tim~rumor?~I too would be surprised to see it under a buck IF that rumor weren't from a message board... I assume you got that from Yahoo?
surprised to see the stock back under a buck- especially with the pending 51% ownership by Raymond James. That alone gives some credibility to the rumor, imo
If it was from a reputable source then maybe time to look at again <g> However, IMhO, the rumor was from a stun gun spinner that was in this stock higher than where it was at ...at the time... one who was hoping to be out of it before today!

So this was a *good* thing? I wish I understood this sector better. Maybe someday.
...considering this crappy market (4 decliners to 1 advancer), your RBY (I assume you have a position?) was one of the advancers while I bought 2 decliners <g>
RBY Bid: 1.60 Ask: 1.87 Last: 1.63 ($): 0.01 Vol: 200,400
HSOA Bid: 1.58 Ask: 1.63 Last: 1.57 ($): -0.41 Vol: 3,036,080
BWTR Bid: 6.94 Ask: 7.49 Last: 7.39 ($): -0.62 Vol: 1,172,725
TIA for helping on the road to knowledge <bg>

FYI~Honolulu among lowest for foreclosures
Pacific Business News (Honolulu)
Wednesday, November 14, 2007
Honolulu ranked 97th for foreclosure rates in the 100 largest metropolitan areas in the third quarter, according to a report released Wednesday by RealtyTrac.
The Irvine, Calif.-based company tracks foreclosures and bank-owned properties.
Honolulu had one foreclosure for every 1,672 households in the third quarter of 2007, for a total of 197 foreclosure filings.
California cities dominated the top 10, with Stockton taking the first spot with one foreclosure for every 31 households.
Riverside/San Bernardino had one foreclosure for every 43 households, Sacramento had one for every 48 households, Bakersfield reported one for every 64 households and Oakland had one for every 71 households. Detroit; Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; Las Vegas; Cleveland and Miami rounded out the top 10.
"Although cities in just three states--California, Ohio and Florida--accounted for more than two-thirds of the top 25 metro foreclosure rates, increasing foreclosure activity was not limited to just a few hot spots," James Saccacio, RealtyTrac's chief executive officer, said in a news release. "In fact, 77 out of the top 100 metro areas reported more foreclosure filings in the third quarter than they had in the previous quarter. Still, there continue to be pockets of the country--most noticeably metro areas in the Carolinas, Virginia and Texas--that have thus far dodged the foreclosure bullet."
Hawaii has been relatively unaffected by the mortgage crisis, insulated mostly by high housing costs and stringent underwriting standards that make it difficult for customers with marginal credit to obtain loans.
BWTR~bought @$7.19 ... RSI (22) oversold by my book
HSOA~bought @ $1.54`looked oversold to me.... but what do I know lol ... probably should have waited but looked pretty cheap here. RSI (22)
The volatility was no surprise...now if the company cooperates by supplying positive outcomes from the delayed filing I won't look like an idiot lol
Mark~HSOA~until they "come clean" and actually file & do a Q&A IMO the stock is going to be pretty volatile... at least it sure has been <g>
Top 10 lowest P/E trading stocks under 10 dollars. Is HSOA going to survive? This should be close to bouncing time~~
Time will tell! Thanks for the scans. Maybe there is a great reason for the low PE? <gg>
Best!

aLOha Fred~TFTR~thanks for stopping by! You know TFO is always welcome. At least you have a good reason not posting more lol
I had to put the mkt on iggy and tend to other business.
I guess you indirectly answered my Florida real estate question <g>
Don't be a stranger... your unique take on the market helps. No, really dude, I was being serious <vBg>
This board has become impossible for me to keep up with (most excellent), I pop in when time permits and look at a few posts
I agree Tim's board is a notch above and he tends to bring out the best on IHub (IMO)
I can't even remember my last trade
I wish I could say that! So if you're not trading you're probably flush with cash unlike the position I find myself in <g> ...I may have to hit you up if the market remains this unfriendly

RockJohny~WMT~that's certainly no small cap lol
WMT doing what i figured ... it's been a while since it put up $3 gain in two days
you own any?
RockJohny~think you're right-on with BWTR
chart looks like 8 would be a sweet entry
old resistance line ... long term, this would be one for the IRA as water resources get squeezed
In this case the squeeze is based on State & Federal clean water standards & changing regulations
their self-imposed loss seems suspect to me...
This was explained in the CC ... the long and the short of it they are being hurt by early large poorly written contracts that didn't price their services properly. They have a handle on the past and corrections in place for the present/future. It was a GAAP situation where they are required to set up the reserves but now were of the belief that they wouldn't need all the set aside reserves in the end if cost improvements come in as planned.
10.00 BQGFB.X 1.00 down-1.40
those June 08 calls might be worth a nibble
I need to take at look at that option!
[disclaimer; I am long BWTR even after selling my 11/16/06 $7.01 shares on 11/8/07 for +88% ($13.29) and still have my 12/05/07 $6.64 shares]
RockJony~if you have any interest I would suggest the 55 minutes to listen in on that very transparent CC. Good stuff in there! IMO next Q and beyond should be very different. Revenues pushed back from this Q and partnering with an industry giant they were once sort of competing with now a marketing alliance bringing to the table even more expertise that would have taken BWTR years on their own. I am a BWTR fan long term.
