FREAKING WELL SAID, BK
What was the pump??
I enjoyed today....I must say. It has been a while coming. The company, as I have been saying, has ENORMOUS POTENTIAL. This is just the beginning. The volume today was ungodly. It had to be Institutuonal buying. WIll they dump......maybe.
But the point is, we will set higher lows and higer highs. This company, for the gazillionth time, has state of the art tech for goodness sakes.
I am long.
Finally... a long awaited move!! Scared Bpl?? Enjoy it for goodness sakes. And hey Epic stocks, thanks for a post I can understand finally!
GLTA
Hey TurtleBK...........Great post. Hey Megafauna......CALM DOWN! If you don't have patience, this investment is not for you. Do I get frustrated?....SURE!!....No, this stock should not be anywhere near where it is trading, based on pure potential. But TurtleBK is right....there are no sales right now. Going from "Developement company" to "Emerging Growth" takes TIME!
The Pr's right now are to keep us (investors) informed. They are not "pop" stock PR's right now. Just because you put out ALOT of PR's doesn't mean the stock goes UP!! Remember what TurtleBK said.......THIS IS NOT A PUMP AND DUMP COMPANY....it is COMPLETELY LEGITIMATE.
So if you CANNOT hold LONG....then you need to get out........I know it is hard man......I know! Keep the faith!
This is one of those stocks that could be still trading at .006 in February, but be trading at 50 cents in July.......try to remember that......
GLTA
Hey Chae.....You are not doing a good job on selling me on a "PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP"....Ha
Great question.........you have got to speak in somewhat normal terms for some of us that just don't understand some of that tech lingo......
Decent half day and good comeback
Holding so far...............
By the way Charlie48....I like a PR machine a whole lot better than no PR's at all. This is an in-home evaluation. They are letting us know how it is progressing. What is wrong with that? Why worry about Grandma??...that is what this company is all about for goodness sakes. It is a product for the elderly.
You want partnership/Contract PR's like all of us....they will come.
So, I respectfully disagree with you.
GLTA
Yes it is...............but it will be very interesting if it can close at somewhere near .0085. The NSS may not allow.
Yep..............One day folks, One day, this company will shake the naked short selling. It is still very early in this company's life and even as I get frustrated with the lack of movement, it is inevitable that this stock's pps WILL explode. We should consider ourselves lucky to have positions in a company like this, IMHO.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
Yep, the group hug helped...Thanks Chae!!!
You are a funny guy.
Hey BpL........you are spot on..............it isn't a big deal. That is me just displaying a little frustration. I am allowed sometimes aren't I? I am human. Just didn't think we would see half a penny again. But you are right, it really makes no difference.
Thanks
Not a good day at all so far folks...........Not at all
Believe me, if I had it, I would give it. Why?...because I think this is a "no brainer.". That is why someone WILL supply them with the needed funding.
Think about it. We are a month away from 2010. This type of product will save people THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of dollars....and as Chae said...."it is cool". It is just a matter of people learning about it. Most people don't know Gecko exists.
Martin didn't continue this sometimes painstaking and expensive journey if he didn't KNOW (thru his thousands of hours of research) these robots would be HUGE sellers and people would eventually flock to buy them. There is a HUGE need for something like this, and it will eventually reveal itself.
GLTA
Hey wadespy, I have poured my heart out on this board about this company. Go read all of my posts.......
Nothing has changed. But there is only so much to say. I continue to believe this stock will fly. Patience and time my friend. Chae is correct in his analysis, funding is a major issue, but I also don't think that is gonna get in Martin's way. He is almost 13 years into this. Gecko would have been LONG GONE without a viable product. I too have added to my position in this stock.
I think 2010 is going to be quite a year for this company. Hang on tight!!
It's funny....you wouldn't think people would think robots were to futuristic in 2010 for goodness sakes!!!
This company does have TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL.
I think good things will happen with time. I e-mailed Martin yesterday and asked him if he still planned on adding 100 employees to Gecko next year as he stated in an earlier in the year PR.
He emailed me back and said................"or more."
That is a ton of employees, so obviously he sees major growth in the coming year. That is certainly positive.
GLTA
Man, you are spot on...I don't need to add anything to that. I don't think we can go wrong, it will simply take a while. But people for the most part are impatient and some will refuse to "hang around".
Hey Chae........I am in the mood for a little game.........
We both went to this conference.............
What do you think the current pps "should be"? and what do you think it will be next November???
That was well put, Chae.....I think "funding" is without a doubt Gecko's primary obstacle. Mr. Spencer stated to me that he should have been where Gecko is now 3 years ago. It obviously has TREMENDOUS UPSIDE. This stock will explode eventually. It will happen fast when it does. It is like waiting for water to boil. It never seems to if you are watching it.
Of course everyone should have worries. It is HIGHLY speculative. But they have created their product after 12 years of hard work The technology they created is top notch. I don't think they are going anywhere now. It is just a slow process. But something EASILY unexpected can happen to "pop" the stock at any time. SO many people are interested.
That is why it is tough not to buy more shares at this level. Why is it at this level? That is the question. If the stock is truly WAY UNDERVALUED, then I will kick myself for not adding to my position.....
So many questions................
All I can say.....is you are correct, most are down huge. But your last statement is the key. It should not be trading at this level. Mr. Spencer knows that. And you can be sure it is being worked on. He knows it has a "paltry" market cap and is working diligently to correct the problem. I agree, it is tough to stomach. But this is one of those stocks that is going to probably "pop" like you wouldn't believe.
When?..........a week? a month? a year?...Don't know. But they do have "leading edge" tech.......SO IT HAS GOT TO HAPPEN.
I'd say buy more shares at this ridiculous low price......
But everyone knows my opinion on this.
Hello everyone.....The technology is impressive and no doubt "leading edge". I must say Martin Spencer is a man of passion and integrity. He has worked very hard to get this company to where it is today. This stock will "pop" soon. Weeks or a few months, I don't know. This company's market cap right now is easily worth 25m. And that is just now. It will be worth much more later. NITE has messed with this stock quite a bit as Mr. Spencer says they are like a "troll under a bridge". He is confident he "will win the battle".
Mr. Spencer has recently updated the company's pinksheet status from "limited" to "current" info. In several months he states he will move Gecko to OTCQX. This is EXCELLENT NEWS and should solve many problems.
There were several companies of interest at this conference. A NY Times press rep was also there. Sparton Medical Corp. was there and stated that it would not take any longer than 6 months to "ramp up" to 1,000 carebots per month. Gecko should start the "In home" evaluation trials in several months. Kevin, the Sparton rep (per CEO Martin Spencer) is under Gecko's NDA, so Mr. Spencer was able to give him the "big picture" of the true scope of their play. He stated..."He understands now that we have a bigger opportunity before us that Microsoft did when they introduced DOS 1.0...."
This takes some time and patience folks. I know patience is a hard thing to ask, but it is in my humble opinion that many of us have a remarkable and unusual opportunity in front of us.
Think 1 to 2 years from now at where this company could be.....just IMAGINE.........it has potential to be enormous. Just my opinion.
ps...I am sure there will be quite a bit of news coming out next week.
GLTA
They had several companies
Don't think for a second that this robot conference is going to increase volume or move the stock. It is going to take news of partnerships, licensing agreements, or contracts. When that will happen, I do not know.
Yep.....VERY INTERESTING!
You have got to believe that iRobot knows about Gecko and what they have? Gecko is certainly WAY AHEAD of iRobot in this technology and marketplace. The only difference is iRobot has money and Gecko does not. I would suspect "funding" is the only thing in Gecko's way right now.
Thank you for the info vantillian.........
That is good news indeed...... I did research before investing in this company and found that only 2% of "pink sheet" companies eventually move up to higher exchanges. That is why investing in pink sheet companies is REALLY risky. But I believe that this company is on the "up and up" and very reputable.
I truly believe, as Martin Spencer states, that Gecko Systems intends to become a "fully reportable company" as soon as finacially viable. This should be soon as they enter "growth stage".
Again, thank you vantillian.
Hello everyone, I just wanted to share the below article. Again, Gecko is a company that has created a product that iRobot has not been able to develop and Japan and other Int'l companies have failed to produce. I think this is going to be quite the company in the future. Only a matter of time folks........
http://robotics.tmcnet.com/topics/robotics/articles/66454-geckosystems-back-first-personal-robot-in-home-evaluation.htm
I know it is frustrating (to me as well).........but would we rather have no PR? At least they keep us updated on a regular basis. How many of us have invested in companies where we are SCREAMING for any PR?
Yes, some are redundant. But they are not going to put out a PR that is not true. And that is good, is it not? This is a VERY reputable firm, IMO.
No doubt we ALL want the Partnership/Contract signing PR. An I'm sure they do to!! I have no doubt that PR is coming. It is a matter of when, not if...in my opinion.
Patience is needed...there is probably lots of good PR's coming in the next 6 months.
GLTA
Way to go BRS0903..........you know your stuff!! This is going to be an interesting company to follow in the very near future and years ahead.
Whomever you are mnjn317, you are an interesting person. This is the most positive post you have made. Now when I say that, I mean you have mostly been negative about the company. And of course you could be right.
But you must be a somewhat substantial shareholder and must have had exchanges between yourself and Mr. Spencer.
But you are the guy that said Gecko twisted an article to make themselves look like they were included in it. And I responded with A LONG POST.
So you are very curious to me. Of course it is fine to play DEVEL'S ADVOCATE, but you must like the company to be invested in it.
Right, eventually robots will be in every home just as computers are now. when? 2030-2040?? Even Bill Gates thinks so.
Very TRUE!!!! It is more of a need than a convinience. That is why Martin Spencer keeps saying that his sales may be more than realized maybe even because of the resession.
It costs so much for eldercare expenses and the Carebot will pay for itself in less than 1 year. And the loved one can put off going to a nursing home for a while.
Geez guys, just becauase I was invited doesn't mean I have all the answers. I don't think this conference is that big a deal expense wise. I'm sure they have the money. Heck, they have raised all the funding in the past 12 years to complete their product. And they, according to press releases, are only about 7 million in debt. That ain't much considering what they have produced! I certainly don't think they are selling stock.
A few months back, I asked Mr. Spencer who Gecko's competition was. He said there is quite a bit from overseas to the US. He said "but we are far ahead of anyone else."
Again, this has to be only a matter of time................
Hello everyone.................
I just want to let everyone know that my wife and I will be attending this conference on Nov. 5th in Atlanta. I will take as many pictures as I can as I know you guys are as interested in this as I am.
I remain absolutely astonished and confused at the low pps of this stock. But Martin Spencer seems to be a very straight forward and honest man and says there is NO technology more advanced than Gecko. And there is also public acknowledgment to that as well.
I still believe this is one of those stocks that could ABSOLUTELY EXPLODE AT SOME POINT and never look back.
We shall see..........I will be in touch.
Thanks
I can't because I don't know yet. I have just been invited and have not received info on location yet. Obviously though it will be in Atlanta.
I will take pictures...........A buyout rumor took place with Gecko last Spring.....The technology is huge, I just have my doubts.
Need to do some research...................
Why do you guys think there is going to be a buyout?
It would really surprise me. Martin Spencer has worked a long time to get to this point. I just don't think so.
But I have been wrong before.
Heck, I think they will be cheap at 20 cents. So this .005 stuff really boggles my mind!
