swim, FLD refers to a Float Lock Down
A Float Lock Down occurs when the retail float of a stock is locked up (or held) by strong hands shareholders. MTVO is a candidate for a FLD because it's O/S is ~58 mil and the retail float is ~36 mil of which ~50% is owned and held by strong hands (management, family, friends and early investors, most of whom are in at over .20). This means a retail float of shares to freely trade are ~18 mil at .03 could be had for about $54k, theoritically. This is a real low valuation to buy up.
In this case, the more demand and less supply of shares the s/p will increase, simple laws of supply and demand.
The more investors who are committed to long term holding of MTVO, the more likely we approach a FLD. This will be characterized by lower volumes and volatile movements of share price, most often to the upside.
All IMHO, not a recommendation to buy, hold or sell. Please do your own DD.

Montavo Website Updates. I LIKE IT!
Lookie, lookie. They're working hard at this.
http://montavo.com/
Updated front end graphics and layout. Not operational yet but definitely a more appealing layout, design and colors.
Changes are happening, can now download all the fact sheets and company information directly. Should bode well to enhance investor interest.
REMEMBER - FLD possibilities, with recent developments it looks like things will pop here in the near future. Get your positions locked and loaded, 3's looking like a fair entry point. Once we pop through the 3's this will make a stop at 5's then should fly.
All IMHO, do your own DD and not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold.

Response from Montavo, CEO Brook Lang, regarding AP story.
Please note that he provided the link to the article and that his correct quote to the reporter was Sub $10 mil total, meaning less than that amount.
He has also clarified that MTVO is currently seeking around $3 mil. at an enterprise value (see below).
Moody Capital and Crucible Capital Group will be working in tandem to fill the PPM which seeks around $3 mil at an anticipated private placement s/p of .02-.06. The PPM offering is for unregistered shares and thus will be restricted. This should allay fears of immediate dillutive effects and allow Montavo to utilize funds to enhance enterprise value prior to any future financing.
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. MTVO many good days ahead.
Best to all.

David,
Thank you for your question regarding the recent AP press on Montavo. For clarification the quote from the question asked was “sub $10m”.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Ad-startup-Montavo-seeks-to-apf-3355964361.html?x=0&.v=1
From the Press Release on 9/16/2010:
“Montavo, with strategic advisory and execution assistance of Crucible Capital, will work towards funding the Company at an enterprise value which appropriately reflects the value of the underlying software and platform assets.”
From your question for further clarification, currently Montavo is looking at around $3m at an enterprise value.
Talk soon,

mobile,
Very good perspective on what it took to achieve enterprise value of Admob.
Businesses do not exist,develop, launch and commercialize without adequate capital to do so.
MTVO's capital raise to launch at $3 mil is a bargain.
Future capital raises will be determined (when and how much) based on validation of 2010 capital raise of $3 mil.
If you like the differentiating features of mMap and if you believe that Montavo's product is superior to its' competitors and if you believe this will reach viable commercialization then MTVO could be a monster in the making.
D
Should be:
A/S 400 mil
O/S ~36 mil
Excellent candidate for FLD.
Will need to be patient. Volatile on volume both up and down.
penny, review my posts on MTVO both here and at Yahoo. Its' all there. Sorry, no CIA here just extreme DD.
The rest is just personal strategies. Thanks for the support.

mobile,
Yes, I do speak to the Company on a regular basis. I have met with Brook Lang, CEO on several occassions. They are located within 10 miles of where I live.
We can chat more when you e-mail me.

MTVO, The Bottom Line
Yesterday's 2nd news was NOT a company released PR. The company is not accountable to this Associated Press news story which may have interpreted information by the author.
Financing should be viewed in terms of how it builds enterprise value. Think Admob and Quattro.
Finance dilution should be analyzed on the difference in dilutive effect vs. increase in net equity or enterprise value. Not simply today's price divided into capital raise.
There are 400mil A/S with ~58 mil O/S, so max common shares which could be issued is 342 mil shares. Raising the A/S which they already did in the past year is not a likely scenario. ~20% of O/S is held by executives, family and friends.
There are only ~36 mil in the retail float and ~17 mil at retail brokers, confirmed in August by company.
Moody Capital is another investment banker involved with the 2010 PPM, this is different than the 2011 PPM. Their goal is 3 mil at .06 for 2010 not 10 mil.
Crucible Capital Group specializes in mergers and acquisitions.
MCap of MTVO at .02 = ~1.16 mil.
Admob and Quattro sold for $750 mil and $250 mil, which is equivalent to MTVO current O/S is ~$5-$13/share.
If financing required maxing the A/S at 400 mil the equivalent enterprise value compared to Quattro = $.625 and to Admob = $1.875 per share.
Whether the cash raise is $1mil or $10mil the MCap should rise to ~$11.16 mil max with potential enterprise value dwarfing this number.
MTVO will be better off with a cash raise, if it helps achieve successful commercialization. They will be stalled until or unless they do succeed in their Capital Raise Campaign, irregardless of how much financing is needed or sought.
All IMHO, not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold.

Montavo Begins Collaborative Efforts with Alcatel-Lucent for Demonstration & Evaluation to Major U.S. Wireless Carrier
May 13, 2010 6:00 AM ET
Montavo, Inc. (OTCBB: MTVO) is pleased to announce the initiation of collaborative efforts in the demonstration & evaluation of the Montavo Mobile Advertising Platform (mMAP™) with Alcatel-Lucent's Open API Service for a major U.S. wireless carrier. Montavo, having designed the mMAP™ to integrate with Alcatel-Lucent's Open API Service platform for testing across the technology platforms and demonstrating the performance with a major wireless carrier's architecture, is a key milestone.
Montavo's proprietary, patent pending mMAP™ platform is the only mobile advertising solution that supports an "ad spend to profit ratio" for ROI calculation of mobile advertising campaigns. Advertisers that use the mMAP™ are able to confirm physical location in-store purchases made by consumers that have received ad impressions (push & or pull: search/discovery, display, text and or MMS) on their mobile device. Additionally, the mMAP™ does not require any integration at the POS or codes/barcodes, no additional training of sales associates or interaction with the consumer, and also does not require physical hardware/software in the store. Montavo is the only mobile advertising provider to enable these capabilities for advertisors.
Montavo provides reporting dashboards including the Montavo Mobile Ad Spend Speedometer™ which is a real-time tool that allows advertisers to monitor the Ad Spend to Profits ratio for ROI performance metrics from multi-channel mobile advertising campaigns that are deployed on the mMAP™.
"Demonstrating the functionality and performance capabilities of mMAP™ with Alcatel-Lucent and a major U.S. wireless carrier in a test environment is a meaningful step in preparing for the scalable commercial launch of our platform," said Brook Lang, CEO of Montavo. "Integrated testing efforts such as these help us refine our overall technology architecture as well as identify key components of functionality to add to our product development roadmap for future releases of mMAP™," said Lang.
About Montavo, Inc.
Montavo, Inc.'s mMAP™ is a mobile marketing platform that integrates client side mobile device software with a mobile advertising network solution and ad distribution ecosystem. Montavo offers its solution to consumer focused advertisers (manufacturers and retailers from national brands to SMBs), wireless carriers, mobile handset manufacturers and mobile OS providers, personal navigation device (PND) manufacturers, automotive manufacturers, and other tier-one suppliers as either a white-labeled mobile application or as the Montavo branded mDealFinder.
Montavo Completes Testing of Virtual GeoFence Feature for Rev. 2.0 Release of mMAP(TM) June 3, 2010 8:00 AM ET Montavo, Inc. (OTCBB: MTVO) is pleased to announce the successful testing of the Montavo Virtual GeoFence, one of the major features added to the upcoming release of the Montavo Mobile Advertising Platform (mMAP™) Rev. 2.0. The addition of the Virtual GeoFence technology to mMAP™ is a significant development for the platform. Consumers continue to demand more and more location-based information on sales, discounts, brand building messages, product launches, product information, coupons, and more for items and services from Manufacturers & Retailers on their mobile phones. The ability to geographically target mobile phone push messages and offers is a critical piece of functionality for small businesses to global/national brand advertisers and ad agencies. What significantly differentiates Montavo's patent pending platform is its unique ability to deliver opt-in, targeted messages to consumers when they enter a specific geographic area that has been "virtually fenced" by a manufacture or retail advertiser, then in real-time, report back to the advertiser that the consumer who received the Virtual GeoFence mobile ad, purchased products and or services in a physical location store. The true power of mMAP™ is demonstrated via the Montavo Mobile Ad Spend Speedometer™ dashboard reporting tool that in real-time supports an "ad spend to profit ratio" for ROI calculation of multi-channel mobile advertising campaigns. Advertisers that use the mMAP™ are able to confirm physical location in-store purchases made by consumers that have merely received ad impressions (push and or pull: search/discovery, display, text and or MMS) on their mobile devices. Additionally, the mMAP™ does not require any integration at the POS or codes/barcodes, no additional training of sales associates or interaction with the consumer or their mobile device, and also does not require physical hardware/software in the store. Montavo is the only mobile advertising provider to enable these capabilities for advertisers. "Montavo has employed a market research process to prioritize the features and functionality for the platform," said Brook Lang, CEO of Montavo. "Feedback that we collected from consumers, advertisers and global ad agencies alike indicated that incorporating the ability to deliver targeted messages as a consumer enters an advertiser defined geographic location was critical, which drove us to escalate the priority of the GeoFence technology. We're very excited to see it working in a test environment and look forward to rolling it out with the public release of mMAP 2.0."

Q4 Mobile Advertising Sector ALERT:
Montavo Does Something Both Google
and Apple Cannot.
Forbes Magazine reported a dramatic increase in mobile ad
spending of 30% by advertisers in 2009. Wall Street analysts
are adamant that mobile advertising is revolutionizing the
way marketers reach consumers for branding, customer
acquisition, and customer retention. CNBC headlined, “The
Mobility Craze Likely to Carry Tech Rally Past 2010”. Google
and Apple seem to agree. Google has acquired AdMob for
$750,000,000. Apple followed suit by purchasing Quattro for
$250,000,000.
What does a billion dollars in acquisitions by the two biggest
names on the electronic planet mean? Mobile Advertising is
booming, yes, obviously. However, what might be the most
intriguing rub on that fact is that the two “Goliath’s” of the
Mobile Ad space at this point DO NOT offer their advertising
clients something that Seattle-based start-up company
Montavo Inc’s mMAP™ does; The ability to confirm instore
physical purchases from Mobile Ad Views.
Why is this important? Because 85% of US sales are in-store
physical purchases.
Being able to provide this information to advertisers is the
catalyst to another unique offering, Montavo’s Mobile Ad
Spendometer™ which visually reports an advertisers ROI by
calculating Moblie Ad Costs Vs. Profit in Real-Time.
Brook Lang, CEO of Montavo, asserts that mMAP™ also
performs the main functions of the Google and Apple
platforms while separating itself with its glaring differences,
“Our patent pending platform can confirm an in-store
purchase without the consumer or retailer doing anything
different at the point of sale.” mMAP™ does not require any
integration at the POS or codes/barcodes, no additional
training of sales associates or interaction with the consumer,
and also does not require physical hardware/software in the
store.” As commercialization of mMAP™ commences late
this year Mr. Lang believes it will likely attract major media
and technology companies scrambling to acquire and
compete in one of today’s fastest growing global markets.
MTVO: The Bottom Line
Trading at its historical low in the midst of the
mobile advertising boom is a fair indication
there is plenty of room to grow here. Alcatel
Lucent being aligned with a young company
like MTVO with powerful technology is
further evidence.
The headlines tell the biggest story here.
From Google to Apple the “Bigs” are getting
serious about mobile advertising and they’re
cutting down their lead-time through strategic
acquisitions.

O/S = ~58 mil

Executives, family, initial investors = strong hands = ~15 mil
Float Lock Down, strong possibility!
CEO,Live Webcast today at 1pm EDT. Look for interest to build following.
D
Welcome reese, very nice to see this weeks action. Good days here better ones ahead. Still early IMHO.
D
If Google bought Admob for $750 mil,
If Apple bought Quattro for $250 mil,
What would Montavo fetch for a superior product?
Given the current O/S of MTVO and comparing Enterprise valuations of Admob and Quattro
= approx $2-7.00 Projected Enterprise Value of MTVO
Just think about that . . . .
What is MTVO currently at? $0.038
Now that's potential!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
D
I think interest will pick up after live interview today.
A repeat of yesterday's volume would be good.
D
Angel,
Check your e-mail.
10 bagger very possible from here but requires a convergence of certain events or time.
- Float lock down
- Substantial investor interest from PPM and NASDAQ interview
- Close escrow on PPM, with major investment
- M & A discussion of buyout
- Launch of Rev. 3.0 and sign up of major clients
- Day traders, churn the limited volume forcing huge spike, least desired.
And you can call me whatever you like. LOL No worries.
D
Don't know about amazed but it's been out there since July.
Glad you got in Angel.
D
Thanks B, and you know there's more than that.
D
Way to go B, let's see if we can help you win.
They forgot Monday and Tuesday's gains.
D
MTVO not done yet, FLD in play.
Watch for a strong close post interview at NASDAQ tomorrow.
D
MTVO running. FLD in play.
Should run, post interview at NASDAQ.
D
MTVO is not done yet.
Live interview at NASDAQ, Times Square, 9/16, 1pm ET.
Nice close today on growing volume.
Looking for a strong finish tomorrow, post interview.
FLD, in play. Hold tight, double digits this week?
GLTU, are you in? Check in at MTVO m/b's yahoo or Ihub.
D
Nit, IMHO, this is just the beginning. Any pull back to .027-.028 load the boat. Will still have lots of rooom for run to .12-.20 and beyond if the stars align.
Targets by strong hands different than charts.
Float lock down possibilities, render technicals helpless.
Strong investor influx from newly initiated IR campaign and 2010 PPM offering will be holding long term with short supply of available shares.
Shorts will get it in the nuts.
D
Sorry MT,
There was no keeping this under the lid. If you had been following MTVO m/b here or at Yhoo, you'd know.
Too much going on behind the scenes and all is out there.
In particular, IR, PR and Capital Raise programs are all converging and initiated. In fact, I believe that buying interest right now is coming from PPM investors trying to lock the float and control their investment. Not from m/b investors.
If so, this will bode well for all and make anything under .06 look cheap. In addition, FLD group is in play here and have been accumulating for the past couple of months.
No need to be upset, the flower is just breaking bud as the seed was planted months ago.
Best to you.
D
Couldn't hold this back,
Too much is happening behind the scenes. Accumulation has been occuring with FLD group over the past two months.
News and PPM has put it out there to broader group.
PPM investors may be buying float out in advance of investment.
All IMHO. GLTU. Hold tight, might be a little volatile but looking good.
D
LT hold I agree.
Won't be able to keep this quiet much longer, good time to accumulate now. Waiting till nickel will be late to the game.
This is a prime candidate for FLD. Over half the float in executives, family and initial investors hands. Many who paid .20.
Investor awareness campaign is now jump starting. Munc Media to promote.
CEO at NASDAQ, Times Square, live interview, 1pm 9/16
PPM offering already sent to existing shareholders, going to equity and institutional investors next.
Will be buyout candidate, for its' differentiating feature in mobile marketing and advertising platform. Mobile ad spend to in store gross profit, providing real time reporting of ROI.
D
MTVO, Right On.
Break through last .0245, looks like .0388 up next.
Moving nicely, thin trading, look for interest to build.
CEO, live interview at NASDAQ, Times Square, Thursday, 9/16. 1pm
Capital Raise program in progress.
Investor Relations campaign developing through Munc Media.
Sleeper, possible Float Lock Down, ~38 mil retail float.
D
Accumulation now but there is no denying that the 2010 PPM could use some support from the retail market.
The PPM will be an important step in the growth process. Retail s/p if sustainable at .06 is what will help. Will need massive news or share lock down to achieve that. PPM offering letter is out already, so quiet, slow accumulation period is virtually over. They have to get the word out, and they are through Munc Media.
D
Many flowers to bloom for all our Montavor Gals.

Investors Start Your Research, MTVO.OB - Must Read
Ximon and all considering MTVO,
Let me make this a bit easier.
Montavo, Inc.(MTVO) is in the mobile advertising platform marketplace which has fostered much competition. Admob had a major head start and sweetheart deal that paid enterprise value for their business at $750 mil from goog(= to $6+ for MTVO based on current O/S). Quattro got $250 mil from appl (= to $2+ for MTVO based on current O/S). Several other majors will be or are in the market looking to enhance their mobile ad platforms. MTVO is a BUYOUT CANDIDATE.
Here are the differentiating features. Bold is key metric which all ad agencies will die for, Admob and others can not do this.
MTVO, has a software solution product, mMap which is the Montavo mobile advertising platform. Their key features are:
- Only mobile ad platform to gauge REAL TIME/IN STORE ROI of AD SPEND TO GROSS PROFIT, this is a very important feature as the rest can not do this.
- Real time analysis through mobile ad Spendometer
- In store confirmation and tracking of sales
- No special equipment or training at POS for retailers
Here is what I consider the entry information.
This is a fairly early entry play and could be a 3 month to 1 year + hold but could be quite rewarding if they succeed in their quest for financing and launch of the Montavo mobile ad platform.
Low Float and O/S though capital raise program will increase O/S.
Current Share Structure:
A/S = 400mil common and 25 mil preferred
O/S = 58,307,241 mil (verified by phone 9/9/10)
Retail float ~ 30 mil (from company 8/10)
Float at brokerages ~ 17 mil (from company 8/10)
Captial Raise Program:
MTVO is currently in the process of a capital raise program to complete Rev. 2.0, then Rev. 3.0 which will be their product launch.
The capital raise program consists of three rounds, 1) interim/bridge loan to complete Rev. 2.0 and begin I/R and P/R campaign, 2) ~250k-3 mil target to complete Rev. 3.0 and take to market through the 2010 PPM with target s/p at .02-.06 3) 2011 PPM to expand national and international marketing of mMap.
Investor Relations:
Munc Media will be producing an investor relations campaign to expand investor interest (IR). The PR yesterday announcing the interview of Brook Lang, CEO at the NASDAQ, Times Square, NY will be a featured component of the Investor Relations campaign.
Public Relations:
More news is forthcoming.

MTVO has been on a steady course. The seed has been planted and this flower will start to bloom.
-Look for major investor awareness campaign.
-Then look for capital raise campaign.
-Then look for product development, Rev. 2.0 and Rev. 3.0 to complete and launch.
-Then look for major marketing and sales push.
-Then look for sales.
-Then look for international interest.
This flower might just stay in bloom for years.

About Montavo, Inc.
Montavo, Inc. is a US based company located in Seattle, WA and is deploying an advanced mobile marketing & advertising solution.
The Montavo Mobile Ad Platform (mMAP(TM)) offers advertisers the unique opportunity to review a "mobile ad spend vs. gross profit" ratio which generates a Return-on-Investment (ROI) report of their mobile advertising costs related to their brick-and-mortar location consumer sales. This means Advertisers know for every dollar they spend in mobile advertising, how many dollars of related profit came back specifically attributed to the mobile ads. The mobile Ad Costs to Sales Profit ratio is displayed on the Montavo Mobile Ad Spendometer(TM), which is a real-time online dashboard reporting tool that allows advertisers to monitor the performance of mobile advertising campaigns that are deployed on the mMAP(TM).
The mMAP(TM), with Montavo's Patent Pending Technology, can generate the reports on consumers anonymously who merely viewed a mobile ad on their cell phone on any of several different ways the mMAP(TM) places advertising on the mobile phone in both push and pull type ads. This type of ROI reporting is not something that can be done in traditional advertising mediums today. The mMAP(TM) does this without any additional hardware and or software in the store or at the store Point of Sale (POS) system, and no additional interaction is needed between store associates and consumers or their mobile phones. The mMAP(TM) was designed and built to work for Global Brands down to Small Medium Business (SMB's), as well as both Retailers and Manufacturers.

Keep an eye on MTVO vs. OPTZ
MTVO, is a candidate for a Share Lock Down.
OPTZ, is a candidate for a Share Lock Down.
A Share Lock Down is also referred to as a Float Lock Down (FLD).
Recent activity over the last 60 days, for OPTZ is worth tracking as it may become a reflection of what to expect for MTVO.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=OPTZ.OB+...
Of note:
OPTZ -
- Business transition period, s/p retracement as the business restructures to position itself for short and long term opportunities.
- Change in Executive team.
- Updates of financials
- Dilution from ~13 mil to ~30 mil O/S
- Stacking of news and PR release of new developments during quiet period of a few months.
- Insider and MM accumulation period on pullback, coiling up for upwards movement.
- High volume alerts on Friday, investors start to take notice, create accumulation on hype and momentum movement of s/p 100% at eod.
- This is where they are now.
- As investors start to realize that low float and O/S might result in share lock down, the stock may/should hold, sustain and even continue its' upwards movement.
- Continued movement will depend on release of stacked news and developments.
- With the attention it got on Friday combined with the low share structure, all eyes will be watching in the coming weeks.
While the details and reasons may differ, I see simialarities in the s/p retracement, indications of a transition period, accumulation and coiling, stacking of news and developments, etc.
OPTZ is not done yet but may be a forward indicator of how MTVO might react.
MTVO news and developments this week? I think highly likely. All IMHO.

Good morning B,
No, that was not me. I have orders in which have filled today from .0155-.018. Accumulating and trying to support the ask.
No need for anyone to fret, all will be good as more investors become aware of MTVO, beginning sometime next week.
Got the same message from Brook.
D
Things are happening.
Likely PR next week, don't know exactly but inevitable. Investor awareness campaign is on its' way.
Investor interest will start looking our way. Early entry is now, get on board.
D
I picked up a little today at .019, .018, .017 last trade of day. Will keep pecking away at it until news comes.
S, them MM's are a sneaky bunch don't let them discourage you.
D
This is the month that things will start to happen.
For those who are patient in 2010,look for MTVO to:
1) Start and continue investor awareness campaign
2) Raise capital through 2010 PPM
3) Complete Rev. 3.0 of mMap
4) Launch operational website
5) Launch sales force into the market
And don't forget the low float and potential share lock down as things move forward. Hold on tight.

S,
Expect 2-3 PR's this month and early October. Focus will be on investor awareness campaign with Munc Media, Moody Capital 2010 PPM offering, and other capital raise campaigns.
These PR's will stimulate investor interest and buying which will in turn help support PPM offering price. With a low float this buying interest should prop up s/p quickly close to PPM offering target of .06.
If enough interest is stimulated and converted to strong holding buying interest then look for share lock down as possibility and a 5-10 bagger.
First things first though, let's see 1st PR and launch of Munc Media. None of this will be new news to those who have been paying attention and doing their DD. It will be new news to the rest of the investment community who are not aware of MTVO.
Still look towards end of this week or next for Rev. 2.0 to be live on front end user portion of web site.
Early entry now, under .02 is cheap.
If you wait till after PR and Munc Media IR then .02+ , though that will still leave plenty of room to catch the next wave of movement.
