"Despite what I think about GTEM" - does this mean that a dramatic price surge as you have predicted, based on information you won't share, will be upsetting to you?
Thanks, Mide, for your insights. I don't believe any of those seven would keep going unless they saw real and significant upside potential, and in the end that is what keeps me invested as well. Otherwise, it would not be worth their effort.
Too funny. If it's non-insider info, then you can share it.
We shall see. If one of the GlobeTel exec's was in Isreal this month, I doubt that he was on a vacation.
Could it be that in this market meltdown that the mm's are trying to manipulate the pps lower?
Nilmerlin, what was the trading volume in Europe yesterday - how much higher than normal, as you indicated?
Sure looks likely, Mt. bigsky. We are within the 90-day time period for the finalization of the Sanswire/TAO partnership. I'm looking for news regarding that and possibly testing updates.
Yes, an airship that was developed with a particular party in mind (we never learned for whom), and according to the most recent financial filing, from pg. 13:
"Sanswire constructed and tested Stratellite and Sky Sat prototypes at the facility [Palmdale]."
Thanks for checking, Mt. bigsky.
When reviewing the SAS-51 videos, at certain angles you can only see 3 fins. A still photo would show only 3, with the 4th fin not visible. I think the 1st photo in that series looks like the SAS-51 (more slender, longer profile than the stubbier Aerostat).
Also, from Optimist's photos, it appears that the airship is untethered.
That first photo (upper left) looks more like the SAS-51 (longer nose than the Aerostat). Foreshortening (Foreshortening refers to the visual effect or optical illusion that an object or distance is shorter than it actually is because it is angled toward the viewer.), could make the airship appear more "square" (like the Aerostat) at certain angles.
Also, I reviewed the last video of the SAS-51, and at certain angles you only view 3 of the 4 fins.
Finally, it does appear untethered to me. From your description of its movements, you did not believe it was tethered.
Do you recall precisely what the Isreali papers said about the aerial surveillance of Bush's visit?
Optimist, was your photo of the "moving" or "stationary" airship, and did they both look exactly the same?
Or perhaps the teaming agreement with Elisra comes into play instead . . .
Mide, wasn't one of the GlobeTel executives going to Isreal in January? Do you know who that was?
Thanks for the photo. It does look like the SAS-51.
I sent him an email last week and received a reply the same day.
" . . . so that airship production could be commenced . . . " - that's a bit of a stretch, since Lockheed hasn't even produced an airship prototype yet, despite spending millions of taxpayers' dollars.
The "demise" of Joe's website has everything to do with the fact that he became the KEY defendant in a fraud complaint made by the SEC against him. Happy New Year everyone.
Thank you. Meaningless is the word of the day to describe the "obsession" of the day, i.e. video quality. The payloads will contain future customers' videos, surveillance cameras, etc., of which we will never see any footage . . .
IMO, future surveillance equipment/sensors may come from partners such as Raytheon and they will not necessarily choose to showcase their capabilites over the internet (think military applications).
Really? I saw a fair amount of varied surveillance footage. Perhaps you should check your glasses, or perhaps you were looking at the older video.
The new video is there! Watching it now (slow buffering).
And which "additional platforms" might these be and demonstrated to whom? Sky Sat, AirDragon, Sanswire2?
"As we showcase the potential of the SAS-51, we will continue to demonstrate our capabilities through additional platforms at higher altitudes designed for significant payload lifting operations."
I wonder if this latest "demonstration" was for partners/potential customer(s) who were actually there:
The most recent demonstration, occurring Thursday, December 13, 2007 in Stuttgart, Germany, and reported on Tuesday, December 18, 2007, showcased a completely integrated payload package consisting of surveillance equipment coupled into the airship's onboard powered electrical systems. The surveillance package installed on the SAS-51 had the objective of illustrating the capabilities of TAO Technologies and Sanswire Networks as a premier provider of lighter-than-air platforms, capable of supporting various surveillance payloads on unmanned monitoring missions.
Moderators, in the past you have removed redundant posts and ended threads that keep repeating the same information over and over again. Enough of the comparison between Lockheed (no HAA yet despite spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer $$$) and GlobeTel/Sanswire/TAO (a functioning HAA without government $$$). Yawn.
It is my understanding that a video is going to made available . . . .
Good question. I think this statement might hold a clue:
"We expect to continue demonstrating surveillance and monitoring variations that are most in-demand from our technology partners and potential customers."
A very informative article on the UAS (UAV) Roadmap going forward. It appears that the U.S. military is serious about utilizing UAVs and integrating them with other unmanned systems. Thanks, Nilremerlin.
Why don't you check with the company about its HotZone technology? GlobeTel's software is a key component of the system.
We began with a "400" share trade today, (keep trading it sideways). Hmmmm . . . .
Thanks, Nilremerlin for posting this link. The most intriguing item in the recent filing was the following sentence on pg. 13, IMO, especially in view of the Trident 2008 Network Initiatives:
"Sanswire constructed and tested Stratellite and Sky Sat prototypes at the facility."
As some here may recall, the Sky Sat was developed with a specific customer(s) in mind.
I'm sorry, but if you can't get answers to these questions, I can only conclude that you are not a shareholder. IR is too busy to answer queries of non-shareholders and I won't do your DD.
Shareholders have no problem getting answers to questions posed (often repeatedly) by some on this board. EOM
Excuse me, but as a shareholder this statement is simply not true:
"The first names of two sales people that work for GTEM, that no one has ever heard of till a few months ago . . ."
Your statement reminds me of Cole's contention that there are no engineers at GlobeTel. I'm sure Mide will address the remainder of your contentions, but why invest in a company if you don't do your own, accurate DD?
Agree, egbeck (your msg. 96011), but I was referring to the larger picture vis-a-vis GlobeTel's future markets.
The Fed lowered 1/4% point, and some on Wall Street think it's not enough. Given the strength of the Euro, the weakness of the dollar, subprime mortgage mess, etc., and the potential for business (both production and contracts) outside the U.S., GlobeTel's move is beneficial in more ways than one.
Yes, a $39 trade to bring it down .01 - MM's having fun . . .
Wow, large buys coming through. Up.02 EOM
We have a very good "techie" - Dan Erdberg, assisting Jonathan.
Dr. Kroplin is no slouch either, LOL.
"TAO-Technologies GmbH, in cooperation with the University of Stuttgart, led by Professor Dr. Bernd Kroplin is highly regarded throughout the world for research, design, development and flight testing of various designs of aerial vehicles.
Yes, and the last three news releases have come out more than an hour after the opening bell. Hopefully, this is a sign . . .
