Popped up, settled a bit, second leg starting now, bring on the high .004's, excellent start every1!!!
Will traders be buying or selling on this news, that is the question. I know I will be buying, @ ask, in 4 minutes!
Same here, cannot get in til tomorrow morning. Hopefully price is as attractive as today!
Anyone have any reasons why this will not get to .005 again?
Anyone have any reasons why this WILL get to .005 again?
My opinion is it will, and that's why I want to jump in here tomorrow morning, but I have no reasons, just feelings.
GLTA here!
A GREEN WOW!
Monday, January 11, 2010
Today we launch an exciting new GREEN initiative.
A worldwide break through, both on its target as in the way we are going to achieve the targets.
We all know that communications is the way to develop economies, develop people and give them the tool to express themselves.
100s of millions of people, who never made a phone call in their life, will be added every year to the billions that use communications every day.
That means that even if we use all the known (but not yet implemented) innovations, the total amount of CO2 emission in our industry will go up.
So, the question was: is there nothing we can do?
We asked Bell Labs to think totally out of the box. And they did! They calculated the theoretical possibility to reduce energy consumption by factors.
And they came up with a plan to reduce energy consumption by a factor of 3, which means in normal language, reduce energy consumption by a 1000 fold within a 5 year period.
That would allow every citizen in the world to join the community of communicators, use all the bandwidth they need and still we would not increase the energy consumption.
But how to get there? Here again, the proposal is totally out of the box. A true example of open innovation.
Bell Labs invited top scientist from universities, industry, operators and not for profit organizations to join this effort. They created a consortium called Green Touch, and with endorsement from governments, we launched with other founding fathers this program today.
We need to come up with solutions never thought of before. We probably need to redesign the internet.
So we need the best brains in the world. Bell labs will organize this effort. And we, every person in ALU will be asked to support this.
I am excited about it. We can make a huge difference as a company and today we demonstrate that in a very unique way.
Please read the press release and the material on the Intranet including commentary from Jeong Kim and Gee Rittenhouse.
And join me in applauding them for the journey they are going to make.
Ben
Thank you!
Is anyone able to tell me if .0001's can be bought here??
Does anyone have orders waiting to fill? For how long?
TIA
Agreed!
Seriously! Buys will propel this onwards!
Ask and bid both up from yesterday.
See, its moving up even with 0 volume! LOL!
Agreed, unfortunately ask has now dropped to .10, and not a single share bought or sold to test either levels...
If good buys come in we can see .14 again today, if sells come in, we could be back @ .06.
Morning all.
A little surprised @ lack of volume considering yesterday was highest volume since 2009/11/05.
But no sells @ 8cents is a good thing I guess, we're all waiting for higher $$$.
+ volume will = nice gains!
Yes, I am only down 50.43% now! LOL!
Another perfect example of how this moves on air tho, up and down...
Happy New Year, all the best for this year and ALU.
Msg from Ben:
Dear colleagues,
Happy New Year to all of you.
Hope you all had some time with your family and friends.
And perhaps you even had a moment to reflect on the past year and how we are doing as a company.
We are in transformation: that is for sure.
Progress on many fronts has been made.
Our strategy has been well received by the market.
Our strength is our capability to help our customers to transform their business.
We have the services, the software and the hardware to build a future for our customers, but we also understand their present network and business model. So we should be their trusted partner in the transformation of their business.
A great story.
But all depends on the execution of this strategy of course.
We need to show passion for our customers.
We need to have a deep understanding of their needs.
We have increased R&D to focus on this future and reduced our dependency on legacy products.
Whilst those are good first steps, we need to accelerate our focus on design for costs and design for differentiation.
I am thrilled by the increased cooperation between the various teams to ensure we do things only once and right first time.
We are streamlining our supply chain in order to be more agile.
Customers order later and expect more flexibility than ever before.
And teams around the globe have been working together to increase the speed of our actions.
As I said, great first steps.
Now we need to accelerate. We need to become true winners in the marketplace.
With the spirit of real winners, we will do so as a team.
With speed as our friend and a decision attitude that respects the ones made by our colleagues.
We need to rely on each other. No more checking the checkers.
No single unit can win on its own, we do that together.
So, we will attack our cost base further, we will increase the speed of innovation and act as a global team in front of our customers.
A big Thank You to all of you for what has been done so far!
But an even bigger invitation to double the efforts in 2010.
We have a great opportunity as a company to ‘wow’ our customers and in doing so ‘wow’ our shareholders and our colleagues.
2010 can be a decisive year, a year when we demonstrate what we are capable of: winning!
Ben
Any1 in from b4 yesterday? @ .001 range?
Cause that be craaaaaaaaazy!~
Holly crap
LOL wow wth, I got for .22 and now its .022 jeez. Good thing only 100 dollars worth! I need a 10 bagger to break even, lol, sad...
Very fishy and manipulated stock IMO.
62500 shares sold @ .02 when could've sold @ .10 all day?
My trade never did show up, even after hours that day, I had checked. Does anyone know if trades under 100 shares they don't have to show, or is this illegal, or what's going on?
Wipro is to join our ecosystem of co-sourcing partners in a multi-million euro alliance for go-to-market and business process and product maintenance service outsourcing
After the global Alliance with HP, Wipro - one of the world largest and fastest-growing product engineering and support service company - is joining our ecosystem of co-sourcing partners. This is another step in building effective alliances to win in the marketplace by leveraging the IT/Telecommunications convergence and to optimize our efficiency by entrusting key partners with the execution of some of our operational activities.
The Alliance concluded last week with Wipro has three components:
A Go-to-Market partnership.
A Business Process Outsourcing agreement.
A transfer agreement of Maintenance Services for some mature products.
Similar to the HP alliance, special attention is being paid both by Alcatel-Lucent and Wipro regarding the employee transfer conditions. For both the BPO and maintenance service projects, employees joining Wipro will be provided with an 18-month employment guarantee, credit for years of service and comparable pay and benefits. Wipro is welcoming this addition of talent to grow its strategic presence and is committed to leveraging Alcatel-Lucent employees’ expertise to provide them with more career opportunities.
The Go-to-Market partnership is expected to generate several hundred million euros revenue over the 7-year agreement. We will jointly market each others solutions, products and services and will leverage the customer base of both companies particularly in emerging economies such as India, the Middle East and Asia Pacific.
In the Enterprise domain, Wipro will notably market Alcatel-Lucent solutions in IP telephony, unified communications, data networking, security and contact centers. These enterprise solutions can be operated on customer premises or hosted and managed in a service provider data center.
In the Software domain, both companies will address service providers with software licenses for use in their network in a “software as a service” business model (i.e. subscription based) or in a purchasing model to deliver services, content and applications to their subscriber base.
Through the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) agreement, Wipro will take over certain Alcatel-Lucent operations currently managed by our Shared Services Centers in US, Mexico, Canada, Romania and China. Wipro, which is one of the top three BPO companies in the world, will help us accelerate improvements to our tools and processes. It will also allow us to optimize our cost base and increase our flexibility to react to variation in business activities.
The BPO covers some activities in Finance and Administration, Order Management and Procurement that are currently managed in our Shared Service Centers in Timisoara (Romania), Alpharetta (U.S.), Kanata (Canada), Mexico city (Mexico) and Shanghai (China):
• Finance: accounts payable, cash applications, fixed assets, bank accounting, general ledger, month end closing and employee expenses.
• Order Management: non-customer facing activities – creation of customer orders in the SAP system, purchase orders to suppliers, date management, master data enrichment and several inter-unit transactions.
• Procurement: call-off activities, verification of purchase orders (compliance of price and payment terms), invoice management, helpdesk for MARS, master data maintenance and an operational dashboard.
Through the BPO project, about 510 employees from the Shared Service Centers in Romania, US, Canada, Mexico and China should join Wipro.
Through the Maintenance Service agreement, Wipro will take over some maintenance and engineering activities for the mature wireline products E10, MGC-10, S12 and MGC-12 in Romania, India, Germany, France, China, Morocco and Egypt.
As sales of mature products that are close to their end of life decrease and this generates less demand for engineering and technical support, the Wipro partnership will help us better accommodate changes in customer demand for these mature products. By leveraging our partner's experience and capabilities in maintenance, this partnership will allow us to better serve our customers with more flexible and cost-effective maintenance services and to focus our R&D on future technologies.
The E10, MGC-10, S12 and MGC-12 product lines continue to be an important part of the Alcatel-Lucent portfolio. These products are very important to our customers as they are deployed extensively in their networks throughout the world. In the partnership, we will keep the entire responsibility for the management and of all future deliveries of these products and will remain the unique interface to our customers with full accountability to guarantee support consistency with our commitments.
The Maintenance Service agreement covers Customer Design Engineering (CDE) and level 3/level 4 technical support, for E10, MGC-10, S12 and MGC-12, as well as a subset of back-end (non customer facing) level 2 technical activities for E10 and MGC-10.
Product management, key technical projects Interface, purchasing and manufacturing activities will not be transferred to Wipro. In addition, the agreement will not include the remaining front-end, level 2 customer-facing employees.
Through the Maintenance Service project, about 370 employees from Romania, India, Germany and France should join Wipro (or Nash Technology, as Wipro is subcontracting maintenance services to Nash Technology in Germany and France). Another 80 Alcatel-Lucent employees will also be temporarily dedicated to transfer knowledge to Wipro and will be repositioned afterwards per existing needs.
For both projects, the transition of activities and teams is expected to be done by the end of 2009.
In the coming days and weeks, country-specific communication will take place in each country with town-hall and face-to-face meetings gathering operational management, Wipro executives and the dedicated teams to provide detailed information about this project. In the meantime, employees can also turn to their line managers and local Human Resources for more information.

I have news that ALU has signed a business partnership with Wipro, something to do with outsourcing, I do not have details.
Expect to see a news release by next week.
I am not happy, as it is not good news for my own personal job security.
Oh wait I found something. Will post.
What? We had a trade already!? WOOOOOOOO! lol
That's all the info I have at the moment, but any updates I get, I will be sure to let you all know.
To be honest, I don't think it's luck at all, this is a good company in some tough times, and I think anything under $4 is a gift, as I personally see this as a no less than $10 stock, but that's just my opinion.
I think that there are better stocks out there, but I think that this is a pretty safe bet to double from $4-$8. Time frame, I'm not so sure anymore, but I say hang in there, and you will be rewarded.
GL
Lets go JAVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOLLY CRAP 1.75!?!?
That is insane!
HOLLY CRAP AGAIN!
That is one THIN L2!!!
No wonder you guys saying $1, it seriously is possible!
Thnx for L2!
$1? For real?
Funny cause I put my GTC @ $1 just to mess with MM's, but didn't know this was actually a realistic PPS!
Plus I am getting owned here as I got in @ .23, so would be nice lol.
No biggy though, my position is pathetically small.
Some volume would be nice though, too quiet right now...
Bid moved back to .13, this stock is strange lol.
Buys lower the ask, and no action raises the bid lol wth!
I just got 88 shares @ .17 but its not showing up.
Any1 know why?
I hate when they drop the ask after a buy!
IM FREAKING OUT!!! I LOST 10 DOLLARS ON THIS STOCK TODAY!!!
lol...
Haha. Bounced of the .0011's very nicely there.
GM all!
Well IMO we could be back @ .0018s in no time, or can be @.001 in same amount of time lol.
Hoping to trade sideways at least here, if not reaching higher lows!
Lets havva good day!
LOL, ya, I did, on ur floor lol!
LOL WOW somebody was really waiting for 14's, lol was that you, is that that ur motive? lol...
Nice day here IMO!!!
Nice board here ppl!
LOL!!!
I've taken a small position here as I figure its one of the only possible legit ways for me to make some $$$ off marijuana LOL!
GL ALL!!!
Still looking just fine to me considering we opened @ .0013!
Wish my sell @ ask of .0019 had gone thru as I sensed a dip for gap filling, woulda re-upped here @ .0016 BUT, I am in for a measly 136K shares so I am the last to worry lol.
GL all, I think we can close @ .0018+++!
Are we expecting a wall @ .0005 or a gap up to 6's, 7's???
I think this is healthy as we pretty much skipped the .002's on the way up here, building a more solid base IMO
3 from 7 left?! WOW, impressive stuff here, lets keep it up gents!
Plus the 19 printed shows its thin I think!?
by this week you mean this hour right :D
GM all!
Looking good, will it keep it UP?
