Folks at this point I believe that the only thing that is holding back the explosion of our investment is marketing and exposure. Marketing in terms of getting the word out relative to the product and the incredible results achieved thus far through testing. Both fuel savings and emissions.
Regardless of what some may say, E1 management has been delivering and moving full steam ahead unlike many pinky startups that I have seen before. Check what has transpired since January. We have had 5 PR's since that time in about a 2 month period. Not fluff PR's but news highlighting progress and product readiness. All this and the pps trades sideways, slightly up but always bottoming back out around .001. Now many will say we need a deal signed, sealed and delivered. Then the pps will rocket to da moon. I have been guilty saying this as well. Yes, long term, this will work. Nothing can dispute revenues and profits. Once that begins, the pps will react positively. No doubt about that.
But what about the short term?? How does E1 and investors get the word out and covet the all important EXPOSURE needed that will cause many more arm chair investors and the Big Dogs to stand up and take notice? I firmly believe that if a few heavy hitters and or Companies took interest in E1 all they would need to do is a bit of due diligence to uncover the monumental potential AND a CEO and company doing what is needed to make the product ready for mass distribution.
Bottom line is that this exposure is critical to get us off the ground, trading at consistent levels, progressively appreciating. Our reality is that here in pinky land OUR growth is and will be stunted due to the type of investors and cloud that surrounds the exchange that we reside. I'm not saying that we won't eventually get there, but the road will be much longer and rougher. And to be transparent, as much as Ray and crew are trying to do to keep us rolling and progressing, having the pps trade at such low levels, cripples the organizations ability to innovate and cover standard overhead and manufacturing costs needed to stay alive. More often than not that's what kills startups with great product ideas and potential.
We (E1 and investors) need to address and tackle this reality and issue that is keeping us from reaching our full potential. No, I dont have the answers, but I think I recognize the issue.
Keep the faith. To quote an overused phrase, "now is the time to begin to think outside of the box" in order to achieve MASS exposure and support.
Goodnight Friends.
Agree Bruce. We all need to do our part to support our investment. Have a goodnight
Guys, more news today on the Co. website. See below:
Company Announces Upgrades to Web SitesMarch 5, 2012
New Canaan, Ct – Tesoro Enterprises, Inc. (TSNP:PK) today announced upgrades to its retail store web site. The web site, www.fashionfloorcoveringandtile.com, is designed and hosted by The FloorForce, Inc. of Boca Raton, FL. The newly designed site offers customers an increased number of product displays, video supported professional interior design ideas and suggestions from a nationally known decorator and a 3-D rug shopping experience offering over 250 different hand knotted rugs to choose from and view in a lighted and furnished room. While the site remains an information site with the primary objective of attracting the customer to the retail stores to make selections, it has an e-commerce link for the direct purchase of the hand knotted rugs. Henry Boucher, Tesoro’s CEO, said that “the internet has become a major component of our marketing strategy. Many of our local customers shop first on the internet before coming to the store and together with our larger web presence with our global e-commerce site, www.stone-tile-showroom.com, which now also has the 3-D rug experience, we expect this channel to assist with the continued growth of the Company.”
Jerrymike, to answer your question, Yes during the conference call conducted a few weeks ago Ray shared photos and videos of the product. These photos cannot be publicly shared at this time due to patent pending, copy concerns/issues.
Are you kidding "pss1030"?? Lets not go there please
Ben, there will be a number of critical decisions made and details finalized over the next 4 to 6 weeks which will set the direction for the year.
Am back gang. Out of ihub jail. The next 4 to 6 weeks will be pivotal for the company. We as long supporters of our company need to get the word out and help drive awareness as news hits and momentum builds. Just a matter of time
Exactly Mike!!! And a few results like that out there and how long do you think it will take for this to spread like wild fire?? Not long at all! The fuel efficiency in my view will ultimately send this soaring and a notch above any competitors. If results like these are achieved, we just need to get this on the road with a few truckers then this will take off
I have a call planned with Ray for this coming week to talk the Hybrid Project as well as progress in mending relationships with MLOOS. I also plan on asking more about marketing and potential customer base in the short term to gain valuable in use results.
I will update the group accordingly
Moxy, who are u on Facebook? We need a translation table I think:)
All, I will be adding 30MM to our holdings over the duration of the week. I'm not stupid though, unfortunately I see more shaking going on and will slowely accumulate this at the most opportunistic times. I'm no pumper gang, I already have 70MM and the folks that have been here awhile know that I dont shovel the BS. I expected this sideways trading or even a drop as people read WAY too much into the CC and the outcome. It was never intended to have ground breaking news to be delivered.
Hold tight. My target holdings are set at 100MM.
Thanks for the PM Gary. I'm going nowhere and will continue to post and share my thoughts. I'm passionate about this company. There is no way I would have invested so heavily personally as well as influenced others if I did not think this was a potential game changer.
You will be the first to hear this. I met with my investment group this evening and we plan on adding to our position heavily this week up to a pps of .004. I choose to be transparent on these matters. We plan on adding up to an additional 30MM shares this week bringing our total holdings to 100MM shares. If that does not scream commitment I don't know what does.
Upticky, based on what I know the gross margin is in the 25 to 30% range. Pretty damn good margin. And I agree totally. The ONLY way word of mouth and instant positive marketing can come about is to have it come from the truckers or companies that hire them. It would only take a handful. That's it. Ray is a smart man and knows this. I hope this is in the works in parallel with the ME deal
Agree Moxy. My impression from the call and other conversations with Ray is that there would be a more staggered approach relative to any ME contract. But even if that's the case, say we get 2,000 trucks initially. That's $20MM. If u run the numbers on that alone the pps SHOULD be north of .01. Key is that first real contract. Exciting times are ahead. No doubt about that. You have been consistent in your posts throughout and I appreciate that. Keep up the good dialogue Moxy. Let's also keep folks grounded on reality. You and I both know we have a winner here.
Guys I certainly appreciate the enthusiasm folks have regarded to the potential of E1 but we need to be cautious about lofty statements. We all seen what happened with that fedex statement which basically went viral and was out of thin air.
There are many many hurdles E1 faces especially when you are dealing with anything government run in the US. Moxy, u are correct. There are grants out their but E1 would still have to go through the initial assessment, application and testing which would cost $250K to $1MM and take anywhere from 9 to 12 months to complete.
Revenues need to be rolling in for that process to be initiated. My expectation at this point is deal ONE. Whether that be the ME or another.
My mindset is realistic and that this will be a slower burn than some may be willing to wait through. I have no doubt that E1 will be on the map but it may take 18 to 24 months from now.
Congrats to all us longs that have stuck with our investment through all the bashing, acquisitions, etc. After today we all know we have a real winner here with a clear and brilliantly simplistic strategy and business model. In our minds without a shadow of a doubt ALL concerns of being a legitimate company with a real product and viable customer base have been put to rest.
The months to come will be exciting for the patient. Without a doubt. Folks that didn't make the call, let's be perfectly clear, Ray DID NOT tell us not to talk about the content of the CC. I for one don't feel a burning desire to recant the CC for the obvious bashers that will just try to poke holes at every word. I've been in this for over 2 years and have a sizable amount of shares and honestly it's played, getting old.
Now for the true new investors or folks that just missed the call, I'm sorry, you missed a very very informative and enlightening call. You're welcome to PM me on FB and I would be happy to share my thoughts as well as some of the discussion topics. The one thing that you did miss and WILL NOT see from any of us are the pics and videos shared during the call. Ray spoke in depth about competition and we would be fools to share that thus potentially impacting our investment.
Fantastic job Ray! Mission accomplished in my book
Jackpot!! Real product, real technology!
I agree guys. Anyway you run the numbers we are WAY undervalued here. I mean there are shell companies trading higher than .0001!! We have a CEO who is taking the steps needed, one not putting out fluff PR's and committed to not pursuing toxic financing options any longer. In time we will market correct and get true valuation
It blows my mind that we are a .0001 stock still. It is very rare that a pinky stock has a REAL product, shows actual revenue and growth. It is just a matter of time IMO.
Partner stop pulling peoples chains here. I've noticed what you have been posting and the boasts. I have been in this a long time and have many many shares. Its awesome we have new investors coming in but I have issue with some of the pumping statements and saying ur coming in buying tons of shares when you are clearly not. We have volume of 600K thus far. Where are all these buys you're big guns are coming in with? Stop the silly false boasting
Partner you ever hear about fake walls?? MM's use this ploy all the time. It gets really old you screaming and crying about the ask never thinning. How long have you been in this game?? Fake walls are used ALL the time. Pure smoke and mirrors to keep this down and manipulate. Learn the game partner.
Trader, My group has purchased 40MM shares in the .0014 to .0016 range over the past 5 business days so that may be what you are seeing vs. Company buying shares
Go to the E1 site for the CC details. Just posted. You need to register
Yes someone did. That same someone who already has 65MM in the bag:)
Rake, I understand where you are coming from, especially if you have been in the penny game for any length of time. There have been set backs. No doubt about that. I sincerely believe based on interactions with E1 management that they have learned from the set backs and previous mistakes. If you have done your DD all you have is ur gutt feeling which is pure speculation. I have been in this game awhile also and this feels different. Feels different for a variety of reasons; technology, timliness of potential demand, etc etc. Comes down to execution at this point. This may mean nothing to you but I have a small group of investors in this and we currently have over 65MM shares collectively. I am no longer playing with chump change here. Will I go in the poor house over it if it fails? No, but I also don't like to give money away as I'm sure you don't.
I'm locked and loaded and ready for the ride. Time for talk is over and Ray is fully aware of that fact. This first contract is the key whether it be the ME deal or another. It's time to illustrate real progress.
GLTU partner
Most of u know me, I've been in this for sometime now. Q4 financials are due this week but as most of us know, the shelving of the ML deal will negate previous outlooks. One of the reasons I have stayed as long as I have, outside of the obvious potential the technology itself presents, is the fact that Ray is a very astute business man. He knows what he is doing and learns from past mistakes. My gut tells me news is pending and will most likely occur prior to the CC. I say that cause Ray would not PR the CC in the manner he did to just answer investors lingering questions. As we know, he also cannot legally give us new information during the CC without formally PRing it. I may be wrong, but I don't think so.
That was freaking hilarious
Didn't know you were here also Dale. I've been holding TSNP for about 18 months now. A company the actually has revenues and growing. Rare thing in pinky land. Way undervalued IMO
Action playing out as planned. Forming a new supported base until the contract PR is released
I as well as Fly and a few others have been here for a long time, through quite period, new management and the seemingly execution/start-up phase. You can look at this in many ways, interpret and derive at many scenarios. If you put aside the possibility that this is a scam for a moment and look at the laundry list of half done, non implemented projects that were mentioned by management, it leaves you scratching your head. To fly's point, there were many many things promised.
Maybe the derailment of the ML deal set everything back as too many resources and effort were focussed on that specific deal, but there are some easy easy wins here that would go a long way at improving confidence here. Namely the new website and ONE pic of the technology. Those 2 things should be simple.
It's lack of action like this that concerns me. I continue to hope for the best and await the next communication from Ray. The next communication will make or break this play IMO.
All,
I have being seriously corresponding with Ray regarding retrofitting one of my personal vehicles, discussing timing, logistics, etc. I have been getting my vehicle tested this week to document emissions out put pre retrofit for pre/post analysis. Will do the same for miliage.
That being said, if Ray is full of crap he sure is taking this to extreme levels and setting himself up for massive litigation if this is all a scam.
I/we will very soon find out
Ben, slow down a bit partner. Let's have confidence in Ray, the decisions he has and will make. Those of us who have been with the new management from the inception can attest that promises made, have been kept by Ray. The change in communication approach has been unsettling to some impatient investors but has been the proper approach by Ray. He simply was not successful in getting the word out and product awareness to the degree desired. That's where the hiring of the IR firm has come in and Ray stepping back, being less vocal to investors, focussing on what will benefit us all which is strategically starting up this company and hit the execution all cylinders running.
As a new year resolution I think us longs and true believers in this company should make an effort to be less impatient and rush to judgement, letting management execute their plan. And for God sake, PLEASE no badgering of Ray requesting updates constantly and posting reckless statements that could adversely impact the pps and scare off new investors.
Happy New Year to all! We have a special one here if we can all be patient.
Guys I would not expect news this week other than a FB update from Ray. I'm ok with this and I believe it's the right approach. He is setting us up for a monster January when all eyes will be back on us and the market as a whole.
Garyst, well said and agree completely. I know many of us feel an official PR is long overdue, but IMO I dint think we will see any official news until the new year starts. The market will not be back to full swing until then and Ray knows this. My suggestion would be to not watch this closely this week, hold and wait for the new year. My one post for the day:(
Holy crap!!! Stepped out to do some Xmas shopping and missed all these fireworks!!! All I can say is good for all longs that continue to hold and believe. Patience and confidence in E1 leadership will be rewarded!
Very true Tex. We have seen this at least 4 times prior over the last 3 months. Those of u who have recently taken a position here, don't fall for these games. Hold tight, way undervalued here.
Prelim 4th quarter earnings posted on the website. Projected $600,000 annual revenues FY December 2011. Solid earnings and signs of growth. Share retirement/reduction plan deployed and we could have a nice runner here.
LMAO!!!
Like I said before, either like a small dog humping ur leg or the fat kid whining that he missed out on extra tater tot day during lunch. Partner take ur Meds or walk away from the computer screen for a bit.
Fingers, I'm off this board now because of u! I will sit back, do my own DD and analysis, pull the trigger on my 70MM shares when I deam appropriate. Simply can't listen to u crying over and over like a little bi*** any longer. Good luck in getting anyone to listen
