FYI - i am going to do this, i have a feeling our shares are being shorted at will.
What can you do to prevent your shares holdings from being shorted?
A: Now what can the average personal investor do to stop their own shares being shorted, as believe me your own broker, if approached, WILL sell your own shares that they hold on your behalf as a nominee account.
There are two things you can do, the first is to certificate them but this is not obviously to everyone’s advantage but the alternative solution is simple. All you do is to phone your broker and put an order in saying that you wish to place your shares for sale at, for arguments sake, double today’s price. As they are 'on order' they cannot be lent out by your broker and in turn you are reducing the amount of 'free shares' out there that can be used for shorting purposes. And don't forget to move your limit order up when the price starts to recover, then, that way your shares can't be shorted - not much but helps :D.
Although an individual personal investor will not normally have enough shares to halt a concerted shorting attack, if a large number of holders did this it would reduce the overall amount of shares that they could get their hands on.
In my opinion well worth doing if not only for the knowledge that your own shares cannot and will not be used in a short attack against the very share that you own.
Some real motivated sellers here, what price they bought at baffles me, but seems shares are available in abundance.
can pennystock shares be naked shorted? cause this must be the case.
Isn't that pilot project with the postal service a new business venture? i have never heard of that project before.
Not complaining, will continue buying until there is no more to buy at these prices. For a management team to willfully lock up their shares which are 50% of the company for 3 years, says alot to me.
Truth be told, based on value investing, the stock is currently overpriced. What we are investing in now is the potential growth. At this current price of 20 cents, we would need to have 40 towers up and running based on a quick calculation. Maybe with the next news release this could be possible.
Right now, i think management's focus is getting financing that does not dilute shareholders, ie. debt financing. i believe should they get this financing which hopefully carries them to over 100 towers, then it's off to the races.
If we are at say 75 towers by the end of the year, a fair value should be around $0.4 or a 100% return from here.
my email to Holly
Hi Holly,
In your newsletter you mentioned that you are doing a pilot project with the Postal service? Is this a potential commercial client for our software? I don’t really understand if this is something that could be significant or if this is like a charity/outreach program by MKRS.
Holly's response
Thank you for your continued interest in Mikros. Glad to hear you read our newsletter!
The potential pilot project for postal service would be a commercial client. As we have previously mentioned in our press release on May 22, we are hoping to break into commercial markets, so this is one of the first steps.
What would be beneficial for Mikros to develop a pilot program with AUSPL in the PA/NJ area? is this a charity/company outreach program?
struggling to get an additional 5000 shares.
Coming out sometime next week. i emailed them and asked. they replied.
their summer issue newsletter should be coming out any minute now.
Which shareholders are sellers at these prices? i am truly baffled at who would even entertain selling this company at current prices. It cannot be insiders as their shares are locked up for 3 years and they would have to disclose they are selling.
Anyhow, will continue to nibble from these sellers and put away my shares.

FINALLY!!!
For those who might want to take a look. i have been buying up another company called TowerOne Wireless, TOWTF.
management owns around 50% of the company and have voluntarily locked up their shares for 3 years.
I am buying at current prices.
for those who might want to look at other companies while MKRS executes.
Been adding furiously at these prices. When this company gets on the radar of Institutions, its off to the races. Holding for at least 3 years in alignment with management.
Quick back of the envelope valuation or future valuation of TowerOne.
interesting article on AMT here
https://seekingalpha.com/article/4087948-american-tower-priced-perfection
however in it is a buyout by AMT recently.
"Just a few days ago AMT said it was buying phone towers from Mexico's Axtel (OTC:AXTLY) - part of Alfa (OTCPK:ALFFF) for $56M. AMT's MATC Digital unit will take over 142 towers in the deal, and Axtel will rent them back for 15 years."
So, basically that is US$394,366.20/tower, TowerOne plans to have 100 towers by end of 2017, therefore our fair valuation would be US$39.4M, divide that by 57.8M share plus 15.5M warrants for fully diluted 73.3M shares = 39.4/73.3 = US$0.537/share. Right now we are trading for US$0.19, LOL. Thank you Mr. Market.
I would rather they spend their efforts getting the towers up than promoting the company, the cash flow will eventually grab investors attention, i am in no rush to have this stock price go to the stratosphere at this time, i am still accumulating and i am glad for this warrant exercise that is happening now and will end this month. Using this temporary flood of shares entering the market to accumulate as much as i can.
Just look back at SBAC in 2003, that stock was at 0.19/share, look where SBAC is now.
Management has agreed to lock up shares for 3 years, talk about confidence and shareholder friendly move. i am trying to get as much as i can. i hope no one promotes this for now.
i see nothing for 2017 and 2018, only 2016.
Now is a good time to accumulate as they are in the process of exercising warrants at CAD 0.30, therefore shares are coming in, however they are also raising cash to continue the growth.

this opportunity ends on July 21, after that i think its to the moon.
thanks for that PKEV
the ship had this radar
The Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer is equipped with the AN/SPS-64 navigation radar and a commercial radar system.
Mikros just got more funding for this radar
The new variant of the Company’s flagship Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) product will be applied to the Navy’s AN/SPG-62 radar, part of the mission-critical MK 99 Fire Control System.
does MKRS cover the AN/SPS-64 radar already?
Cargo ship that hit US destroyer near Japan was on autopilot, data shows

Radars did not detect the ship.
TopDog, this was mentioned in the GeoInvesting videos. there are like 3 series with Tom, one with Chuck and another with Henry, i think the video with Henry is where its mentioned.

is there a new interview? or are we speaking about the first one?
Mikros Systems Broadens Investor Outreach With Executive Video Interviews
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mikros-systems-broadens-investor-outreach-130000956.html
Old news to us, but i guess they are now releasing this to the wider public.
i like this part
Tom Meaney, Mikros President and CEO, commented, “We are very pleased to deliver another strong quarter for our investors. We are now starting to see tangible results from the $83 million of IDIQ contracts we were awarded in the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017. As we continue to generate additional delivery orders under these contracts, we expect increases in both revenue and net profit through the balance of the year.”
think they just copy and paste the last release with small changes.
at this rate, they might use up the whole of that IDIQ in 2 years.
good day
Longer term holders in the stock now. this pause is good, flush out more short term holders before moving again on more contracts. we are fairly valued now i believe. to get to $1.00 would need another 30+M or more in contracts.
Welcome to the Spring Issue of the Mikros Newsletter!

Nope, dont believe we will see news on that. i dont think the company should focus on PR, focus on getting the jobs and that is enough PR as the cash will roll in and eventually the company will be noticed as seen in the recent seeking alpha coverage.
also, i dont think this management believes in paying people to promote their company, in addition, there are no institutional holders as the company has never as far as i know raised cash via a PP, which means no investment house has any desire to promote it or put a price target on it.
as long as this company chugs along and grows via additional services within the army and hopefully one day in the commercial space, in time the market will discover it.
i am quite happy that we are selling off slightly, we needed a break and to shake out some short term profit takers.
Mikros Systems: Significant Optionality At A Reasonable Amount Of Additional Cost
https://seekingalpha.com/article/4064706-mikros-systems-significant-optionality-reasonable-amount-additional-cost
Seems a big buyer wants shares badly. beauty of a tight low liquid stock. when a buyer wants a bit of shares, they need to pay up. Not Selling at all. go find weak hands.
Now that they no longer have to pay dividends to those preferreds, all that cash flow will go back to the company. this company was profitable when it had all those preferreds, now it no longer has them and we have record backlog along with growth into other markets. think on that.
I believe the N. Korea threat is worrying folks. best place to invest would be companies that are critical to the Army. I think this could lead to a scramble into MKRS.
i cant believe the ask is at $0.45
oh boy, this company is going to be a multibagger.
