Big AH on Friday. Industry was featured on CNBC as the medical future for all sorts of diseases. I expect some serious movement in this stock next week.

Ez2rent is seriously flawed IMHO. That is the only one that needs work. The rest that have been completed work well, and I assume those that are under construction will be functional.
If you haven't tried Ez2rent, try it. What is something everyone wants to rent? An apartment would be my number one answer and it is difficult to navigate and find rentals for anything, not just apartments. Again, all the other completed sites work well, but they need to fix ez2rent imo.
Waiting for an entry point.
"Currently we operate several e-commerce portals: www.ez2rent.com, www.ez2ask.com, www.ez2roommate.com, www.ez2mortgage.com www.ez2date.com and www.ez2vacation.com. Soon to come will be our state of the art auction site www.ez2auction.com and our telecommunications portal www.ez2speak.com offering virtual PINs that will enable customers to call between any to destination in the world for a fraction of the current long distance and international rates."
Ez2rent I find difficult to use and random. Ez2roomate I believe links the user to a separate company (ok, functionality is there). Ez2mortgage I believe links the user to a separate company, but I am not sure (ok, functionality). Ez2date works well. Ez2vacation is terrible.
I have seen the ez2auction site and I think it is good. The ez2speak site doesn't work well (I assume it is in development).
All in all I think this company has a long way to go (I state the obvious that all of you already know). They have started something and have a catchy name. All they need is some solid marketing (requires big $$$$$$$$$) and comprehensive functionality, which I hope the current functionality can be attributed to growing pains.
I will be keeping an eye on this stock.
I am not here to hype and bash, but I have spent about 30 minutes testing all of the websites and right now I am not impressed. For example, if you go to ezvacation and click on some of the deal links, they do not bring you to the actual deal. I went to the ezspeak and it doesn't seem to work well. The auction site and date site seem ok, but so far I am not impressed with the functionality.
I like the company's web design and I like their layout and basic idea, but I would like the sites to work perfectly. I understand the company hasn't been operational for long, but why don't these sites work well? Is it because some have yet to be completed? If the answers to my questions are reasonable then I will be watching this company closely.
I believe what I have stated is honest criticism and again I am not trying to bash ezto. Just trying to attain info.
Best Regards
Hello...I much prefer Ihub than RB when it comes to DD. I have done a lot of DD in the past couple days and would appreciate any information on advertising strategy and capital funding of this company.
I look at Overstock.com as a model that has emerged recently as a powerhouse. They started at about 10 usd on Nasdaq nm, I guess my question is how professional is EZTO's management? And is there supposed to be news later this week?
I am always weary of an otcbb stock that has tripled in price. I assume the price will pull back significantly before moving higher on possible advertising?
I am a newbie and usual disclaimers apply.
I think many investors were going to wait for an announcement on Feb 4, etc., but now that soo much time has past, those investors who were going to wait have now jumped in. There are a lot of posters on Yahoo, etc., who are hyping this stock.
I think it is attracting more retail investors, and MMs are acutely aware of the immenent ruling.
Almost every possibility is on the table. There is no way for us to know if PTSC's case is truthfully strong or weak in the eyes of the Defense and Intel.
I hope this is all posturing and we get Higgins and then a Trial Date set in stone so the stock price will have another fixed date in time to stabilize around.
What I would like to know is if Higgins is permitted, what would happen to the stock price if a trial begins? Do you think many investors would be hoping for a settlement before that date and sell out? Or do you think the price will go up expecting a trial settlement or a win by PTSC?
All comments appreciated...
Rwrf, nice...and boy was I wrong on the quick decision, eh?
Elk, never stop! Never stop fighting til the fight is won...I bet you can't guess that movie. I've officially lost it!
I wonder if Intel dug up some dirt on Fogel.
Maybe they got a PI to follow him to his coke buys, or tailed him to some prostituition ring, and they got photos gallore of Fogey partying like a Fed judge should!!!
Let's get it on!
LOL!!!!
You're right. That is what worries me, when will the independent coverage begin? I think it will take a day or two (I am betting on two) for the articles to be posted. So I am hoping the day after the announcement we bounce back to the inicial run-up, like past announcements giving us a solid buy oppurtunity before indepedently publicized articles.
Ruling please!!!!
Incite, you think we will stabalize at 30 cents after a favorable Higgins ruling? I certainly hope your right. That would be excellent for the bank account. IMO we may break 30 cents on a spike, but I look to stabalize around 20 cents.
It's fun to speculate, lets just get that announcement already.
IMO 3 possibilities:
1) PTSC goes under (losing at any stage)
2) PTSC is acquired (big companies will realize it's cheaper to buy PTSC in the short term b.c long term they will have to pay royalties year after year)
3) PTSC will win everything and collect damages and royalties and go to 10 to 15 usd with future growth even higher, i.e., Rambus.
1 and 2 are likely scenarios IMO.
I hear ya. I am holding out. I have done as much as I can, without going crazy, to understand where this company is. I like what I see but I have been burned in the past...
i would like to see monday explode
but this could go on another 2 weeks...
Fogel, Fogel, Fogel...we're chantin' ur name, buddy.
Souza, I think it is roughly 150 billion per year (industry wide), but I am not totally sure what figures PTSC are using. All I know is PTSC says the patent is worth a billion USD. I just don't know.
Rambus licenses some of their IP for 2% - 3% and is considered expensive. All I do is google these things and read, but I don't know how PTSC is doing it. They are asking for triple damages though.
2b, keep in mind the longer Intel drags out an infringement case, if they ultimately think they will lose, the more damages the will have to pay. Triple damages and if PTSC believes they can win... The damages would be substantial and the stock price would reflect the possible gains at that point in time. IMO if ptsc gets 100% ownership, this stock should be at the very least 30 cents.
But Higgins first...hopefully this week.
I don't know, Souza. Hostile takeover?...It would be up to the majority shareholders...who knows? It would depend on how much they would be willing to sell.
Royalty rates would probably go up to 3% at the very most. 1% would be reasonable. I think PTSC told companies that came forward for licensing agreements would be given a favorable agreement like .1%, but I am not sure if I remember correctly.
Sorry, Gents, don't want to burst the bubble, but even if Higgins is permitted to testify and it looks as though PTSC will win the inventorship case, this thing IMHO will not go to trial. Intel should buy them out and all I could hope for would be a bidding war between AMD, IBM and Intel.
If it is a certainty that PTSC will win the inventorship case, this thing will settle faster than you can say "variable speed ring oscillator".
If they win this, they could become the next Intel or AMD, I just don't see that happening. IBM, AMD and Intel and the rest of the industry would buy PTSC before PTSC would be able to grow.
That is MO.
Forgot one, the defense will hand over Moore's disks but b.c they are 20 yrs old, they will have to be restored if possible. There was a humurous moment when Judge Lloyd said the Defense must provide atleast a copy of the disks, and that a photocopy of the physical disk itself would not suffice. That is some funny stuff.
What that means to me is that T&T have done that in this case already, or in another case in the past.
Hopefully Fogel will get his groove on soon.
IMO it is as much as we could expect. B&O will be able to see the entire Intel agreement, which, if B&O are correct, will destroy TPL/Moore/Lecky's affirmative defense of estoppel, meaning TPL is not being financially prejudiced b.c they are receiving cash money from Intel. That is what B&O are betting and they are probably right IMO.
Everything else isn't all that important IMO. Leckrone will try and answer questions again, but he would have to do that at some point anyway.
Some other documents that will remain sealed are target companies for TPL's "alleged" licensing campaign. IMO they ain't fooling anyone b.c it never existed prior to PTSC's filing. Others will be from a Beattie affidavit, which I don't believe is all that relevant b.c it originated from Beattie and not from the Defense.
Comments or corrections welcome.
I don't think that announcement can hurt. IMO they are taking advantage of upcoming events, trying to get the word out that they supposedly have a good energy saving chip that is compatible. Keep in mind their track record is abismal, but they have to keep trying.
IMHO the sooner we get a ruling, the better it is for PTSC. From speaking to an experienced attorney who told me flat out that it a-c doesn't exist in this case, to B&O understanding the implications of interviewing Higgins w/out Moore's or Fish's consent, I am confident, but like I have said stranger things have happened...
Oh yeah, I think B&O stayed at the San Jose Holiday Inn Express. I heard that is where the guy who solved a major part of String Theory stayed, and he was only a janitor at some elementary school.

Outstanding work, Incite. I was looking for the same stuff, but didn't try hard.
If you can find more, great, if not, it seems as though Fogel is a logical fellow and follows the law. Medical marijuana is a state issue if the Supreme Court of California decided it legal for medical use. I like that outcome, appears logical.
The PayPal issue is IMO a no-brainer.
Now we have PTSC. I am not aware of any state statute that T&T can use to defeat PTSC, but I ain't no lawyer. I think Fogel is a logical dude. Keepin fingers crossed.
I don't know. Depends on how complicated the Judge believes the issue is. I anticipate a quick ruling...
Let us hope...
I'm not too good with that stuff...
Sry, what is PM?
Moxa, I don't know how to read that statement if it is true.
If PTSC wasn't in contact with Higgins prior to offering Moore a contract, then what you say is a possibility.
I am not sure if Moore actually sold his rights. If he did, I think PTSC would have acquired it along with their purchase of Nanotronics. Someone other than Higgins would have that information and we wouldn't be so far along.
That agreement, if it exists, should've been presented at the beginning of this trial to show that PTSC is the only successor and sole-owner. PTSC wouldn't have to go through inventorship ptsc would own all rights to the patents in question.
That's my opinion
Incite, that is the central issue. There are several documents and I wonder if Fish saved everything Higgins did.
What I mean to say is that A-C privilege would certainly cover related documents to Moore's and Higgins' relationship. If Fish didn't save all his correspondence with Higgins, the evidence provided by Higgins would be inadmissable if the court decided to ban Higgins.
That is the issue, and I highly doubt Higgins will not be allowed to testify because all correspondence was conducted openly between both inventors. Fish has the right to wave his A-C privilege and that IMO is enough for Higgins to consult for PTSC. How else could the court discover the truth w.out Higgins?
I spoke to Lowell Giffhorn and I asked an interesting question, so I feel ok.
Also, Elk, IMO PTSC offered Moore basically the same agreement as they offered Fish before taking everyone to court. Moore decided he wouldn't cooperate, or didn't want to leave his buddy Leckrone "flapping in the breeze", or for whatever reason, ego, pride, control, etc., he didn't agree to enforce the patent with PTSC.
Did PTSC tell Moore they had Higgins at that time? Did PTSC have B&O before talking to Moore? When did PTSC approach Moore? Did PTSC really go to Moore before filing for infringement? If PTSC filed before consulting Moore, did Intel get to Moore prior to litigation?
Why would Moore and Leckrone turn down possible BIG MONEY? That I can not understand. We shouldn't even have this situation ... How stupid...
for all those who only watch this post...good day today
IMO it appeared as though there was one, or 2 working together. A couple days ago there was a sell-off down to 0.073 cents and then came directly back to 8 cents. My guess is another MM was watching for that and jumped in to push it back up.
my guess
We probably would have 4%. LoL...I only ask for an office position, you can take over the heavy stuff. I want to have easy work and go to the beach and do some traveling.
Don't worry, I am sure they will provide and easy button for the new management.
Elk, I am not an attorney, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express the other day. lol
Elk, I think Fish believes he invented most of the important parts of ShBoom, so I don't think Moore was even close to the Fish clock. I think Moore was centered around other areas, but that's just total speculation. PTSC wants all of Moore's documentation from that period, which will be decided on feb 3rd. That info should show that Moore wasn't even close to designing a complete chip like ShBoom. If I interpret the court documents correctly, PTSC believes that Moore has 0 designs of chips during that period, but again I could be completely mistaken. If there was anything close, it would've been turned over by now.
I am not too worried about the veracity of Fish. Higgins corroborates it and Moore does publicly. I posted a link on Agoracom that gives an idea of the leeway given for corroborative evidence. IMO Moore's public statements are gravy.
The timeline as I understand it is as follows:
June 89 Fish and Moore split
August 89 Fish submits 336 idea
August 89 Higgins submits application
According to my source who is an elec engineer with 10+ patents, all of the inventor's documentation is held by the attorney, basically until patent expires. So he is the ultimate witness. If Higgins held good records, I don't think Moore can prevail. The only thing that worries me is if Intel can claim the patent is invalid, or unenforceable, despite their licensing agreement. Intel could argue that Moore acted in bad-faith and it should be unenforceable. Who knows? Maybe Moore will fess-up right before trial and sign over the rights legally to Fish and Intel would be screwed...dreams...
Elk, IMO if PTSC can not prevail in a trial, then all patents listing co-inventors should never be allowed to be separated, atleast after 5 years. IMO the bar, the burden of proof, whatever, is set too high. Why even have it on the books?
Thanks, man. I probably do need a doctor after posting soo much. I am begining to eat, sleep and dream PTSC. That might be an exaggeration, but it is fun to debate.
You are correct, it will be here soon and is probably time to take a break, but I can't b.c I am now addicted. Nothing better to cure my affliction than some good news in Feb.
Good Luck!
SEC filings out today and series of sales tics starting at about 1:53. Any correlation? I am not qualified to answer.
So you are saying the 50 and 200 moving averages are positive.
That's good, but IMO it all depends on Higgins.
Elk, if you want to attend other chat rooms you can go to www.agoracom.com, or www.ragingbull.lycos.com. Both are good sources for information.
2b, I don't know if you frequent those rooms or not, but they are good.
Elk, the only portion of Moore's tyraid that interests me are his judge comments. I am hoping there is more to this case than meets the eye and as incite said, it all could be posturing.
For all we know there could be an agreement already made and the rest is just formalities to keep the stock price down to make a 30 cent take over appear attractive.??? I don't believe anything I just said, but it's fun.
Anyone want to decipher that? Not me!
Nice post guys!
Hey Elk,
Yea!!! Not only did he stay at a Holiday Inn, he also has the "easy" button from that commercial. Whenever he thinks T&T may get the best of him, he just presses "easy" and ptsc goes sky hi!
keep up the good work!
