Who's Looking Out For You?
Mr. Plum,
Contrary to popular belief, it's not a Cable News Anchor with a book of the same title. Nor is it the 'protector of investors interests' you referenced (and there are many).
Still stayin' the course.

nysepick, with all due respesct, I haven't the "power" to convince even my wife of anything, let alone some anonymous posters on a stock chat board. Still, it's a worthy venture, so your appeal to "what's in it for them" just might do the trick.
C'mon all you aspiring writers! Are you up to the challenge? I'm sure nysepick and PK will be glad to guide you every step of the way.

nysepick,
Have you ever thought about a position in R&D with Integral?
Great article!
GK
Deutsch,
Very funny!
I think I can safely say (until the next time it happens:) that we "bounced off our bottom" yesterday @ 2 bucks. I'm pretty smart, huh? haha
There's probably not an investor alive that hasn't experienced seller's or buyer's "remorse." I experienced this yesterday in another stock.....I sold, only to watch it run up another 20% today. But, to your question, "You made money didn't you?" Absolutely! And as they say, "That's the main thing."
Take care,
GK
Deutsch,
We are indeed fortunate to have someone with your experience among us. What, in your opinion, is a tell-tale sign that a bottom's been put in? (other than a huge spike up for 3-4 days on monster volume? haha)
Thanks!

Pinnacle Digest: Zeros & Ones Inc: Corporate Update
via COMTEX
Mar 19, 2007 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
Zeros & Ones Inc (OTCBB: ZROS) had a positive day in the markets Friday, as shareholders witnessed their company's share value increase 13.99% following the exchange of 4,046,877 shares trading hands before the sound of the closing bell. The share price ranged $0.46 throughout the day, settling on $1.63 at day's end. In the article below, PinnacleDigest intends to further explore Zeros & Ones Inc and the exchange in which it resides. To continue this read and find out why our client base continues to grow, come explore www.pinnacledigest.com.
For those who are not familiar with Zeros & Ones Inc, it is a company through its subsidiary, RocketStream Holding Corporation, which develops packet delivery technologies designed for IP-centric applications. It provides its technologies for the delivery of video, audio, and groupware chat, as well as bi-directional voice over IP facilities, and a solution for file transfer and media delivery over IP network. The company delivers platforms, integrated solutions, and technologies to serve the military, telecommunications, and entertainment industries. Zeros & Ones is based in Los Angeles, California.
In corporate news, RocketStream, Inc announced that all three components of its RocketStream data transfer acceleration software suite are now released for purchase. These components, which include client, server, and peer-to-peer (P2P) file transfer modules, are named RocketStream Uplink, RocketStream Server, and RocketStream Station, respectively.
With the commercial release of the product, the company concludes a successful beta testing program, where over 200 prospective customers registered for an opportunity to preview and test the software before its final release. These beta registrants included companies and institutions from a diverse array of industries: health care, personal computer manufacturing, online retailing, interior design, silicon chip manufacturing, online news & entertainment, film studios, sports broadcasting, oil & gas exploration, law enforcement, space exploration, IT consulting, and financial services.
RocketStream enables enterprises that have high-bandwidth connections to fully exploit these connections. The product not only accelerates data at speeds up to 100 times faster than traditional FTP, but it also provides on-the-fly encryption, making RocketStream reliable and secure. The simple and intuitive user interface makes it ideal for applications such as file sharing, synchronization, remote backup, and mirroring, and its low price makes it significantly less expensive than previous hardware-based solutions.
Michael Fitts, CEO of TouchMedia, a leading provider of dynamic touch-screen 'digital media stations' delivering digital downloads at retail, said, "We've been using RocketStream to seamlessly transmit files throughout our deployments in North America and Asia. The powerful acceleration and encryption of RocketStream enable us to effortlessly provide up-to-date, dynamic media content to point-of-use locations."
It was apparent to our research team that the company's management was optimistic about this latest news. "The very large number of beta registrants, which greatly exceeded our expectations, underscores the demand for an economical alternative to FTP and high-priced hardware accelerators," said Scott Fairbairn, CEO of RocketStream. "We are grateful to all of those who participated in the beta program and provided valuable feedback." PinnacleDigest is interested in these companies' further development and will be looking for additional progress in the months to come.
Third Party Test Results
Has anyone heard when the independent test results are expected to be published?

Winners and Losers
TO, I don't know for sure about resistance this past week. Earlier in the week it was 1.01. I do know this: going into Friday morning our stated resistance was 1.81 (when we were sitting at 1.43 on the ask), so it looks like we cleared out a lot of overhead Friday.
I saw the following this morning. After reading it, I have a question for those glancing over my shoulder.
Finally, winners invest more, losers spend more. One of my favorite stories is from Jim Rohn who talks about investing 47 cents for a used copy of the book, "Think and Grow Rich." He always ends the story by exclaiming, "That taught me the difference between cost and value!" Losers tend to ask what something "costs" while winners ask what it's "worth." Big difference! (copied)
Now, for my question: Going into Monday morning we will find out what a share of ZROS costs, but I am more interested in knowing "what's it worth?" Has anyone attempted to do the math on that? Is there any way to know?
Thanks!
gktignol
sfs,
The best response I could probably offer to all of that is, "He's one lucky guy!" And you can tell him I said that! haha
My "weeks/months" comment was only meant to state my belief that due to everything we have in the pipeline our upward momentum is set to return.
I believe you're right about the future: EP isn't going away; indeed, its presence will one day be evident in nearly everything you can touch, see and imagine -- but, one brick at a time! The foundation is in place. Now it's time to start framing the building.

Here's PK's Response
to a blog reader who essentially asked the question, "What's taking so long?"
http://electriplast.blogspot.com/ (then select the comment section under the 02/14/07 article)
His full response runs below:
PK... said...
Hi all,
Before starting, I just wanted to offer an apology for the delay in getting back to those writing here--also for not being present to update the Blog with the latest rumored and real activities taking place behind the scenes.
I was doing some service time to the Government and was pre-occupied with other stuff.
I am back. Unfortunately I have to admit, as some have noted, it has indeed been silent since the Knowles announcement, but that is not to say the momentum behind ElectriPlast has ground to a halt -- far from it.
Last month, I noted that events were to come to a head in a few weeks -- the events are still in play, the cause for the delay is as simple as this. Integral Technologies in pushing their IP to market has to work through and rely on others to meet established benchmarks.
Sounds like an excuse, partially it is, but in reality, that is what has been taking place all along, and why it has taken so long to get to where we are today.
There is the pending expectation of a massive grouping of patents to be released soon. One of these patents is said to be the comprehensive bailiwick which will serve as the basic cover patent for all current and future ElectriPlast, and ElectriPlast-like conductive materials potentially made by other front-runners working to create: conductive plastics; inherently conductive polymers (ICPs); inherently dissipative polymer (IDPs); and other competing polymers.
What else is going on – well, word is Integral Technologies, some of its licensees, and most importantly, the ElectriPlast IP will one day be featured as a reported segment on a nationally syndicated TV program. The details behind this event are shady. When will it air? What specifically was the content focused on? What aspects were covered and did they involve: the management; the marketing plan; the companies involved; the product(s); the inventor; the supply-chain; the investment?
These are all questions yet to be released. What is known is that the filming took place shortly after Valentines Day – but as I mentioned a moment ago, the details back then, as today, were/are too sketchy to make any noteworthy comments on.
Is that all – Far from it…
There is much more. Events continue to progress in Jasper, with plans for JARCO’s expansion in the air.
Other contracts and licensing agreements are close to being announced; and if I am not mistaken a third party testing of the ElectriPlast material is either in progress or has been completed…
There are a number of issues more to follow up on, but this is only my first day back in front of my computer keyboard, and my notes, and the various emails/tip-off leads from fellow shareholders, EB Readers, and other interested parties are scattered, or not yet opened.
That said, give me some time to decompress and I will share what I can then…
Cheers and best regards from Bavaria's St Patrick Party Center,
PK sends…

exceptionally strong volume, although Zeros pulled back a little bit more at the close. That was some wild trading today, that's for sure. Given that it's up over 70% in the past 2 days, I guess that's okay. Wow!

Have a good day, sir!

Mr Plum,
Good for you! You sound like a smart trader/investor and it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I'm more of a buy and hold type investor, and like you, believe all three are long-term winners.
At some point we're bound to see a pull back - although I don't pretend to know when that will happen.
Everyone dreams of getting in on the ground floor of something huge -- it appears this is it!

Raptor Networks Technology, Inc. (OTCBB: RPTN) up 11.2% on 907,000 shares traded.
Raptor Networks Technology, Inc. has developed one of the first distributed network switching architectures, all standards based, that benefit networks that provide newer latency-sensitive services such as video, VOIP, high speed storage and the like. Raptor Networks Technology, Inc. recently announced the appointment of Stephen W. Gropp as Vice President, Major Accounts to be stationed in Washington, D.C. "It is crucial that Raptor Networks Technology have a significant presence in the Nation's Capitol because of the interest and need we see for our products in the Federal space," noted Raptor Networks Technology CEO Tom Wittenschlaeger. Prior to Joining Raptor, Mr. Gropp was Qwest Communications' Hosting and Internet Services Group Major Accounts Executive, where he led the team that focused on technical solution sales of hosting services, disaster recovery solutions, managed services, complex network, security services, call center applications, content delivery, and customized development of hardware and software. Prior to joining Qwest Communications in 2001, Mr. Gropp was Director of Enterprise Solutions at Smartlogik.
From our friend's latest update:
"Even though RPTN shares are up more than 200% since it was added it to our portfolio, we ain't seen nothin' yet.
For example, the company is still valued as if it will generate only minimal sales this year. On the contrary, we believe we've captured lightning in this stock, so expect to ride this rocket a very long way. On that basis we raised the Buy Up To $1.50.

viz, it looks like Indian
is all over it. But look at the release again and then likewise consider this:
Here is an excerpt from Rocketman's (ZROS' Chief Tech Officer Scott Fairbairn) post dated March 1 at the RocketStream Community board in response to a RocketStream beta tester who lacked the connection speed to evaluate RocketStream:
"RocketStream has another technology specifically designed to address the needs of consumers and mobile workers operating over lower-speed connections (DSL, Cable, T1, cellular, etc), which is not available for benchmarking in the beta release."
And from one of TS's updates:
The basic RocketStream product that is being beta-released is for servers on high-speed connections -- ZROS is targeting the easiest, low-hanging fruit in their introduction.
But we know that the next step is to bring RocketStream to the masses -- a "RocketStream Light" version.
For lack of a better expression, all I can add is: This is HUGE! And today's release was just the start!

I do not have time to get into all the details and their basis for the rumor, but the founders of Riverbed are linked to ZROS Chairman Mark Laisure via an association at Inktomi.
During Riverbed's last conference call, CEO Kennelly said Riverbed is developing a product for personal computers that would give traveling employees faster access to data on corporate servers, whether they are logging on from an airport lounge or hotel room.
He went on to say that it uses their base technology and puts extra pressure on corporations to pursue deployment of their Steelhead boxes.
Riverbed expects to launch its product this summer.
