NXG at HOD breaking 50ma
Thx for the alert. Got some at 1.31. Looks like we may be heading for 1.40s
Almost half its vol traded so far.
I still made out with a little profit, so not too worried. I was just afraid it would plummit before I realized what happened, but then again it didn't move after hours. Better safe than sorry, I feel.
News only on etrade. Can't find anywhere else. Oh well. Wierd
News...ELON delays 10Q. Ive always heard thats bad. I sold AH
Thx for the alert early. Picked some at 11.08
KANA may run into earnings this afternoon!
KANA may run into earnings this afternoon!
KANA break of 1.55 and she flies
KANA up 23 % now
KANA up 18%. Alerted this AM! Earnings Wednesday. Stellar!
KANA earnings this week. Should make a nice move, vol coming in
KANA earnings report May 7. Projected to be stellar!
BCON break of 1.30 will be nice!
BCON good vol on HOD. Looks like it should continue back to 1.30.

Beacon Power to Provide Flywheel System to Support Wind Power Integration Project in California
Apr 29, 2008 09:28:01 (ET)
TYNGSBORO, Mass., Apr 29, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Beacon Power Corporation (BCON, Trade ), a company that designs and develops advanced products and services to support more stable, reliable and efficient electricity grid operation, announced today that it has been awarded a subcontract to provide a flywheel energy storage system in support of a wind integration R&D project sponsored by the California Energy Commission. Beacon will receive approximately $250,000 to offset R&D expenses and will contribute an additional $90,000 of engineering resources for the project, bringing the R&D total to approximately $340,000.
In addition to the California Energy Commission, which is funding the project, other leading stakeholders include Southern California Edison and the California Independent System Operator (ISO). The flywheel system will be installed in Tehachapi, California, a high-potential wind resource area where, according to a report from the California ISO, up to 4,200 megawatts (MW) of wind power may be added in the coming years.
In its November 2007 report entitled "Integration of Renewable Resources," the California ISO forecasted the need for hundreds of megawatts of additional frequency regulation capacity due to the impact of increasing wind deployment and its associated intermittency. Frequency regulation is a service that balances electricity supply and demand to maintain grid stability. Beacon Power's regulation plants can address this need, and Beacon has already successfully demonstrated this capability in California.
In addition to highlighting the use of energy storage for frequency regulation, the report outlines other changes that will be required on the California grid to achieve the state's goal of 20% renewable energy by 2010. These include the need to address transmission constraints. Beacon's flywheel energy storage systems may also have the potential to address shortages in transmission line capacity, which this wind power integration project is intended to prove.
The primary goal of the project is to demonstrate that advanced control technology with energy storage can help expand the delivery of renewable wind energy by effectively increasing the capacity of constrained transmission facilities in the Tehachapi area. This project supports California's goal to upgrade and expand its electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure per the state's Energy Action Plan of 2003.
According to Bill Capp, president and CEO of Beacon Power, "The potential for large-scale wind-related energy storage applications is quite significant. Beacon is pleased to be part of an R&D project whose goals include showing how our flywheel energy storage can be applied and controlled to increase transmission capacity and maximize the value of wind generation resources in California." Capp added, "The Tehachapi project is consistent with Beacon's interest in exploring and commercializing additional grid applications that have high cyclic requirements, move a great deal of energy through our flywheel systems, address a large and growing global market, and facilitate the deployment of renewable energy."
As a key subcontractor on the project, Beacon Power will work with the prime contractor, Alternative Energy Systems Consulting, and be responsible for implementing the energy storage portion of a system that:
-- Utilizes flywheel technology to improve the dynamic control of wind generation resources;
-- Coordinates energy production and delivery from wind generation in the Tehachapi region, and;
-- Demonstrates that such a system could expand the potential delivery of renewable energy and increase the capacity and use of transmission facilities in California.
The flywheel system used for the project will be the reconditioned scale-power Smart Energy Matrix that Beacon provided to the California Energy Commission in 2005-2007 to successfully demonstrate frequency regulation performance.
Project background
The Tehachapi Area is targeted for up to 4,200 MW of new wind generation capacity in the next five years. This growth will worsen existing transmission capacity constraints in that area. While transmission upgrades are planned, they will take years to complete. The California ISO's new Market Redesign and Technology Upgrade program is expected to address and work to lower some of the costs associated with existing transmission constraints. However, the ideal solution for these problems would include the ability to automatically control energy production from a wind generation area to take advantage of any unused transmission capacity available in real time, and decrease production for a transmission overload condition. Demonstrating this technical capability is one of the primary objectives of this project.
The engineering approach will include the application of "intelligent agent" software controls and Beacon's flywheel energy storage in an effort to find ways to deliver as much wind energy as possible without exceeding the limits of the locally constrained transmission system. "Intelligent agent" control technology has been identified as a key element of the U.S. Department of Energy's SmartGrid initiative.
KANA moving nicely
Yeah, I bought in around 2.80s, then sold low threes when I thought it topped. Picked up more and am cautiously optimistic and will watch.
Buying is sometimes the easy part, when to sell is a bit harder thing to pick. What do you see. I thought it was getting overextended yesterday
How about SIRI today!
SIRI just broke 50ma
Other than an RS, how can it get any worse
Dan and Ian resigned. New press release today
I bought back in at 2.84 on Mon thinking the same thing. But not sure with 20ma at 2.97 if that is the right shoulder of head and shoulders pattern.
Vol certainly is much higher today and so is SP. Any other opinions?
Whats up with the dividend? Any ideas or insight?
Thank God for the CUSIP change! We are rocking!
I said the company is dead, not the stock. Look at SMMW, people still buy that crap. Unless this company can sell its product, it will have a severe liquidity problem with a maxed out share count and a PPs where it is at. It will not be able to sell shares in the market as effectively as it wants.
It will have to RS or increase AS again to keep going, thus digging itself deeper.
Why people buy garbage like this, well all I have to do is look back when I bought. There is a glimmer of hope this thing will turn and the .0002 you bought becomes .0004 for a 100% flip.
Big risk, big reward. Could also be MMs trading amongst themselves, could be dilution, could be a number of things.
Been here before, and this company is dead.
I am a shareholder and have been for a while. Have been in this position before and have realized when the company files a 10Q as horrible as that with a stock price here, not much left. They can't raise capital without tremendous dilution (because of SP), and then if they get jiggy with business or actually get moving, the only option to raise the SP is a RS because of the massive dilution they used just to stay afloat.
Dead, for stockholders. I would love to see this thing move, but they haven't sold a thing, are in default huge, and have been for a while.
Good luck.
This company is dead.
I doubt a big hedge funds are buying (NSS) XTMS. This stock is dead, so is my money. Another tax write off. Doubt it will recover to were I bought.
NSS I can believe, Company dumping I can believe, big hedge funds don't look at this garbage.
Good day.

Not sure if you saw ZICA got nintendo news.
Not sure if you saw ZICA got nintendo news
SIRI issued an S8 today for its 401 K plan, 1.3MM shares
Says Reverse split....unfortunately.
Even risker, bought $55 calls for $2.65, this is being pumped everywhere, saying 60+ on buyout. Lets see.
Copy that, thanks
Thanks for that
