Please give us some examples?
Are there any?
Sorry Uranium but I find that suggestion akin to
Asking the fox with a squalling sack of poultry over his shoulder,
"Hey Fox, what do you think is causing that ruckus in the henhouse?"
Or, as a longtime suffering shareholder seeking enlightenment from management only to realizing the wisdom of our famous Georgian. Pogo:
"We have met the enemy and he is us"
The question was why Capstone required so much time
to even seek government approval. Please, no more using the pandemic as an excuse.
I am not questioning that your unapproved prototype(?) model leaning against the living room wall makes a great distraction for kids as pictured earlier. Perhaps Capstone is missing a potential market at Toys R Us (lol)
Mike the better question about government approval might be:
After four years of propaganda and little more, why is Capstone just recently trying to get approval for what is essentially a tablet behind one-way glass?
Who dropped the ball on this latest fiasco?
Flp, A couple of excellent questions!
I'm sure you will receive a quick response from mikeknowsrunners but in the meantime, as I remember, our mirror was supposed to use Google.
I use essentially the same Google app on several wireless devices throughout my house for video and/or strictly audio responses to spoken inquiries. It's a great help and does everything that Capstone claims for the mirror.
Mike, can you post pictures of the device
mounted in your bathroom? One of the main concerns
is just how easy and practical it is to mount the mirror
over an existing mirror in real time and space and not
some advertising image of the mirror in a idealized
custom setting. Unfortunately your pics showing the mirror
leaning against a wall somewhere do not accomplish this.
Those of us who have hungered for real info on the mirror
for so many, many months are most appreciative of your efforts
and willingness to answer questions and I can assure you there
will probably be many more from your friends here.
Thanks again for a really great job!
Does this mean that Amazon
Like so many of us, has finally become fed up
with the plethora of excuses for what is now the four year
rocky journey to not bringing the mirror to market?
I would suggest that all of you able to actually get an answer
from Aimee query her on this disturbing rumor and post her replies
on this board.
Good Luck!
There is no link, Cayce
This was the product of an overactive imagination.
Mike your statement is demonstrably false.
Please review the meaning of the term "days to cover". You might want to correct your statement!
Also please review your repeated recent posts that "nobody is selling"? Can you support that position in light of the downward price in recent weeks where sells have unfortunately exceeded buys way too frequently? Please clarify?
Will it be the penultimate disaster?
Exercise caution.
You might be well advised to hold off on buying
until after the release of the 10k at which time
a severe drop in share price may immediately occur
based on the less than stellar results
Buchro, I agree the mirror has little intrinsic value.
But I certainly hope our current crop of neophyte
propagandists will be successful in once again
propelling this turkey's share
prices to even greater heights, even if it does
have about the same chance of sustaining such altitude
as an overheated Icarus.
I still hold lots of cheap shares so lets hope they continue pumping.
Great Idea Mike, but use Velcro..
.
That way you could move your device from hours glued in in front of your bathroom mirror to a more utilitarian location where it might actually receive hours of beneficial and utilitarian use.
And it would cost you next to nothing (Velcro's cheap).
But meanwhile please keep praising the mirror and garnering more sycophants because me and my thousands of shares are enjoying the ride and looking forward to the upcoming words of wisdom from Wallach.
Personally I am CHEERING for the current pumpfest!
I hope CAPC soars in the coming week, and beyond. This is turning into a wonderful opportunity for those of us who have held and watched CAPC shares struggle and flounder erratically for so long to finally see an opportunity to dump this load before the inevitable crash.
Good luck to all and please spread the word; we need to grow a new crop of aficionados before we harvest.
Flp, your post #78102 deserves a Sticky!
It was refreshing see some sane technical counterpoints to the irrational exuberance which has swept this board recently.
I fear that Capstone's mirror is predestined to be an ignominious failure.
More fun than a barrel of monkeys???
Please "U", have some respect for our new born plethora of mods.
(They are cute though when they're young and innocent. aren't they?)
Like you and a few of the other dirty dozen originals on the board I cashed in many thousand shares at an early profit and like you held thousands more to see how this plays out.
In the meantime I have finally gotten a true understanding and appreciation of that appropriate acronym ROTFLMAO.
Tuesdays final trade for $3.11 was ILLEGAL.
It was another example of someone "Marking The Close".
This has occurred HUNDREDS of time over the past years while Wallach was supposed to be maintaining shareholders' trust.(Yes, it's documented!)
And it's a Federal Offense.
Time to put a stop to this along with sanctioning the incompetent management who so carefully look the other way?
As the stock circles the drain
While a loud flushing roar crescendos across the board.
Thanks for your service, old friend!
Please stay active posting as a "civilian"; this board can certainly use all the encouragement it can glean. (Aimee's bullshit excepted).
Of course as far as Stewart pulling a rabbit out of his hat I can only anticipate that this would be a long-demised and well-ripened road killed bunny.
While we may have disagreed on occasion during our many years as mutual denizens of this depravity known as CAPC, I always enjoy reading your posts.
Ciao!
Diz, gizmos are apparently still produced in China
Then shipped to Thailand for "assembly" in an attempt to avoid tariffs.
Trouble is that the latest gizmo, the clouded mirror, remains a vapor product so it doesn't make much difference where it apparently isn't being produced after nearly two years of bungling mismanagement since it was first "teased" to shareholders.
While the virus has recently appeared as a welcome scapegoat it cannot conceal the fact that this was already a long and rocky debacle!
The 10Q for Capstone's second quarter is out.
(And you may well wish you were also!)
A thunderous slap in Wallach's face?
ONE SHARE of CAPC sold in the closing minute on Friday to flag the day's total volume appears to serve as an embarrassing comment on management.
Buchro, don't you understand "Market Manipulation"?
Highest price???
Thursday's contrived .09495 closing worked perfectly as an attempt to sucker in CAPC neophytes who guzzle the sweet purple koolaid, convinced a new day was dawning. Are you a case in point?
If you examine all six earlier trades Thursday, you will note that 95,578 shares traded at 0.08 or below.
Again that's 0.08 in case you missed it.
But all was not lost in dreamville. Suddenly an Angel appeared who with a chortling crescending chuckle laughingly brought forth a Buy at 0.09495 to close the stock at that level. Some uncharitable souls might opine that that smelled strongly similar to the illegal manipulative practice known as "Marking the Close"
But Buchro, the miracle continues!
The astute angel was able to perform this coup trading only 250 shares!
Yes Buchro, he paid less than $24 to close the stock at this price ..........an 18% one day increase.
Do you know what this did do the Market Cap?
What a joke. I would advise you to take Greasemonkeyshoes and SELL while you've still hot a chance.
No!, Postponed because of sheer managerial ineptitude.
This was a pure, and laughably ludicrous, example of Wallach's attempt to CYA using COVID.
Accounting difficulties? Hell they could use an abacus for these pathetic results .
Also, This is another attempt to avoid admitting that they have a meltdown of producing the "mirror" after months and months of futile incompetence!
Buchro - look at the dates relative to Lead and Lag Times to better understand their latest attempts to defray blame for the absence of "mirrors". The dates don't compute with the Pandemic.
Then see if you can recognize the overpowering smell the bullshit?
Weird alright, but it goes on-
Starting with the trades you mentioned it appears that over roughly the next half hour a total of at least 80,000 shares traded at the Ask. Looks like a single trader!
Has an insider gotten word that the poor long delayed Gizmos are finally en route?
First, catch a rabbit!
Please visit www.capstoneconnected.com/help to view our helpful “How To” video tutorials.
While I won't take umbrage <g> at your post
I'm in disagreement on several points.
1) CAPC has not reduced their physical dependency on the China supply chain! Transshipping product for final assembly in another Asian country to reduce import tariffs was a political measure which avoids neither the Chinese manufacturers nor their signature virus.
2) That the Trade Wars in any way are a boon to the business's sustainability is a non sequitur.
3) I believe survivability of the company is in doubt; the recent ongoing stock price of ~0.15 had been artificially maintained only through continuous and ongoing manipulation.
4) The current smart mirror debacle may finally send this poor beast to the knackers.
Good One Trader -
When do you suspect earnings release?
Oops Ron, There was another release of personal info.
This one even more bizarre!!!
As you know, I have long considered CAPC a Laughing Stock based on the sometimes amusing performance of its executives. In this soiree into the Twilight Zone, Aimee was surpassed by the indomitable Reid Goldstein.
Talk about outing your confidants. (Yes, each of the recipients below can now be identified by name, avatar, and/or E-mail address.)
Thanks Reid!

Hello Aimee and Capstone Team,
What an excellent press release . . . timely, informative and focused. Congratulations on the successful CES show.
Stewart's overview of the logic behind Capstone's Connected Smart Mirror program is brilliant! From desktop computers to the smartphone and now to connected surfaces. This is a booming growth category for all demographic profiles, across numerous channels and market segments (homes, businesses, offices, schools, hotels, government and much more); and the retailers/distributors/builders that serve them domestically and internationally).
A very bright start to the new decade.
Best regards,
Reid
Alas Ron, you queried me a quandary.
Although Aimee saw fit to vomit so much personal information into cyberspace, I am reluctant to compound the debacle by again posting the hundreds of names and contact data she revealed. This information is a marketable commodity and companies specializing in mailing lists would pay good lucre for current exact data of this type.
However I can give you a personal example of how you were revealed without posting your exact information by stating that "Buchro" is the result of truncating your first and last real names, then reversing the order thereof. (Thanks Aimee)
Thus your avatar "Buchro" derives from Ronald Buch**** (rhymes with a California city). N'est-ce Pas?
However, to answer your specific question, the source of the information Aimee revealed was in the following e-mail. While this copy does not apparently reveal exact names, etc. these can be expanded from the full "to" column, if you know how!

to Aimee, Alan, Albert, Andrew, Anthony, Anthony, Barry, Betsy, Bill, (and many more)
Good Morning Shareholders,
We are pleased to share the following press release regarding Capstone’s Success at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The attached PR hit the wire at 6:55 am.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Best regards,
Aimee C. Gaudet
Corporate Secretary
Yeah, Sorry about that Stockpicker
But as I'm sure you anticipated, Aimee blew you off again, just as she does most who try to get a sensible answer from her.
Quote: I have forwarded the information you sent regarding the Hotel Experience to our executive team for review.
Sure she did - LOL - Go Team!
Do you think she still believe anyone actually believes her anymore?
Ask her why she broke confidentiality on an all those Identities she compromised and see, just for fun, what sort of answer you get. Wonder who she would forward that to?
Great post though; keep up the good work!
Wouldn't they wish - LOL
Nope not that many pre-orders by any means.
And the release of identities did not only include those who had expressed interest the Gizmo but a rather broad range of Capstone potential customers and others that also includes Capstone execs and their minions as well as investment gurus and other assorted shills. Makes fascinating reading and a great analytical tool.
We should all thank Aimee.
WARNING Your identity may have been compromised!
If you have requested information from; or asked to be added to a mailing list; or participated in any game or contest involving Capstone Connected Home, it is quite possible your real name and e-mail designation have been broadcast for others to see and make use of.
On January 23, 2020 hundreds of recipients of a Capstone promotional e-mail release from Aimee Gaudet (aimee@capstonecompaniesinc.com) had the above information shared not only with all other addresses but also potentially with anyone with access to the internet.
This security breach is in direct contravention of Capstone's written, but specious, guarantee that:
Your email is safe with us We will never share your information with anyone
No problem Mike; happy to ameliorate your erudition.
RVD, You know that and I know that
But would everyone believe that? Particularly with ubiquitous news articles regarding rogue security devices broadcasting clandestine video captures?
So it becomes a matter of how the device might be perceived in a hotel bathroom (or any) environment.
And the mirror is capable of capturing sound which could furnish some highly amusing raucous recordings of couples disporting themselves in the hotel shower.
Wheeee!
And how many people would be sure
the hotel's bathroom mirror wasn't hacked
and sending pictures and sound of their
private bathroom ablutions out far and wide
over the Great Wonky World Wide Web???
Sure, it's not supposed to capture video but...?
Really unfortunate timing Bull!
Because, in opposition to your upbeat post, didn't the stock close at the lowest price............
In the past month?
Oh wait, was that the past two months?
Oh no, could that have been the past three months?
(I stopped checking closely but I believe today's close might have matched the lowest close for the past six months!!!)
But hey, I admire your chutzpah and, to borrow an old WW2 expression, "Keep smoking them if you got'em".
Bull I think you are absolutely right!
They will find a buyer
for the office furniture
from the crowd attending the bankruptcy auction
to be held on the courthouse steps
at a time and place not too far in future.
In the meantime we will look forward to this continued Mantra of the erudite mystery investor lurking in the wings just salivating, ready to pounce, on this morsel of such a well directed corporation. Obviously the current investors in their unseemly greed and ridiculous quest for a decent return (Hell, any return) on their investment are ripe for plucking <SP?).
But I'm happy to acknowledge that this esurient hunger for salvation has now made it into that great lexicon of CAPC bon mots headed by the immortal and unforgettable
Just Wait Till Next Tear
Alas poor Minions, You've been Wallached again!
As of 1430 this Thursday afternoon the stock was again trading sub-penny after adjusting for the amateurish, ill advised and ridiculous 1:15 reverse split.
But perhaps you can take some perverse satisfaction in that volume is on the high side (LOL).
Good post RVD! But You were too kind-
Stewart's apparently considers himself to be Capstone's sine quo non!
Unfortunately Stewart has failed miserably at directing the company and maintaining shareholder value, largely due to a lack of marketing acumen coupled with the company's lack of independent directors who might counter his sycophantic cadre of tame "yes-men" ..... however he has one overriding talent:
He has milked the company of millions of dollars in salary and other perks for for himself and the aforementioned directors!
Does it make even the most devoted cheerleader ill to see the pipe dream of reasonable returns flushed down a nine year debacle?
Oh yeah, but just wait till next year!!!
Rest your eyes, no one said "terminated"!
But wouldn't you agree that they might have a hard time buying back shares at this time without available funds to do so?
Hey, here's an original thought ..... Just wait till next year!
