A little levity:
While I was watching golf this weekend, my wife and I got into a conversation about life and death, and the need for living wills. During the course of the conversation I told her that I never wanted to exist in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and taking fluids from a bottle. She got up, unplugged the TV and threw out all my beer.
Sometimes it's tough being married to a smartass.
Question: Where is the formal announcement of this shareholders meeting. I could not see it in news or Investor Relations on Telkonet web site?? Usually I get a formal notice in the form of a letter US Mail type or at minium an email from my broker with a web link to the announcement and proxies. Is this another rumor?? Please confirm with link to announcement...
Sirius you are begining to sound like me and I was acussed of being NTHOMP. You are 100% correct with your skepticisim but your starting to scare me. HELP!!!
GLL Was that you who rewarded themselves with around 17,000 shares today?? I was wondering who that was buying that big chunk when all others were selling today. I went the other way and sold 1/2, I figure I can always buy back on news there is no shortage of shares unless you buy them all. Then that would make you some kind of Cheif of the tribe and then you could make us all executives. Happy Birthday and Good Luck!!!
Sonny maybe all of those gut feelings you were having were a bad case of gas...HAHAHA
It's really not funny though because you talked me into believing you. I still stand by my week of Thanksgiving call. Nothing happens that week everyone is going to Grandmas for turkey. Many take the whole week off that's my experience. BTW I sold 2000 shares this morning after the shorts didn't show up.
Sonny, You should take some lessons from others who make predictions and can't back them up. You need to grovel alot more to make yourself credible again...
Sonny where are those shorts it's after 10:30 the witching hour???
color Read thi other posts...
Lots of sell volume 1st 10 min explain please!!!
My position exactly. Thanks Sirius!!!
What on earth makes you think that anything will happen on the Thanksgiving week (next week)??? Tradionally most business are in holiday mode going home for Thanksgiving...
Managment Qualifications:
I have stated be4 how concerned I am with TKO's failure to progress. Has anyone ever researched managments qualifications to see if any of these people have actual experience in rolling out any kind of startup of this potential magnitude?? They don't seem to have a purpose or a plan of any sort.
Sirius maybe someone should remind TKO and RP specifically that his first duty is to the STOCKHOLDERS...I am getting spooked too I will give them till Thursday and I'm taking my marbles somewhere else. Christ the DOW hit another all time high today and my objective is to make money not loose it.
Sirius I don't understand whay this means. I went back 2 weeks looking for the post by electrobroadband please explain...
LAKINGSPHAN What is membermarked? Your post made no sense to me...};')
TKO Financial Report Response
I am reposting this from Friday. I gave it as food for thought and did not get a single reply. I don't know if everyone is in shock or just disinterested. First let me say that I did not expect a very positive Q3 Report. Sirius you are restating my concerns posted several times before Q3 earnings. I am very very deeply concerned that if TKO does not move and soon someone like (CISCO, MOT, GE,Comcast, TWX Time Werner, Verizon) and a host of others from large telecoms to power companies might steal this away from them. This technology can be reverse engineered easily patents are not absolute protection. Motorola has a similar technology that I initially thought was a partner or VAR situation. I now think TKO has been rebranded as Motorola. RiverBend is doing the same thing to Cisco. I really fear that CISCO will come up with a very similar product like Motorola did if Telkonet does not improve performance.
I am not bashing TKO but just being scheptical as any prudent investor should be in a very speculative stock.
I don't know what to make of the comments on Trump/NuVisions comments. It sounds like the service is poor at best. Why not go with Dish??
THE 6 BEST SMART ASS ANSWERS OF 2006
SMART ASS ANSWER #6
It was mealtime during a flight on Hooters Airline. "Would you like dinner?" the flight attendant asked John, seated in front.
"What are my choices?" John asked. "Yes or no," she replied.
SMART ASS ANSWER #5
A flight attendant was stationed at the departure gate to check tickets. As a man approached, she extended her hand for the ticket and he opened his trench coat and flashed her. Without missing a beat, she said, "Sir, I need to see your ticket not your stub."
SMART ASS ANSWER #4
A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store but she couldn't find one big enough for her family.
She asked a stock boy, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?"
The stock boy replied, "No ma'am, they're dead."
SMART ASS ANSWER #3
The cop got out of his car and the kid who was stopped for speeding rolled down his window. "I've been waiting for you all day," the cop said. The kid replied, "Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could." When the cop finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket.
SMART ASS ANSWER #2
A truck driver was driving along on the freeway. A sign comes up that reads, "Low Bridge Ahead." Before he knows it, the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under the bridge. Cars are backed up for miles. Finally, a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his car and walks to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, "Got stuck, huh?" The truck driver says, "No, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of gas."
SMART ASS ANSWER OF THE YEAR 2006
A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. "Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!" A smart-ass guy in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, "What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?" The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering. When silence is restored, the teacher smiles knowingly at the student, shakes her head and sweetly says, "Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand."

You got it right...
I'm afraid of that I bought this morning and paid too much in anticipation of a little earnings bump...Announcment is supposedly scheduled for after hours today. We will see...
It got me too big time. I am very suspicious about HS handling our private information. Did any one see "Big Brother Big Business" Survellance on CNBC last week? It's worth your time if you are not savy to data mining and the loss of freedom being taken away from us under the Patriot Act!!!
Thanks Homeland Security for job well done:
I thought of all of when I saw this!
This is upsetting but thought I should pass it along. Check your drivers license. Now you can see any one's Driver's License on the Internet, including your own! I just searched for mine and there it was picture and all!!
Thanks Homeland Security! Where are our rights?
I definitely removed mine. I suggest you do the same...
Go to the web site and check it out. Just enter your name, city and state to see if yours is on file. After your license comes on the screen, click the box marked "Please Remove". This will remove it from public viewing, but not from law enforcement.

Who is the hat trick gal??
Pie I think I will ask the same question on Yahoo and IV. I will get back with answers...
Pie Thanks for inquiring about my questions. No one seems interested in answering them which makes me even more suspicious. Again Thanks...
LAKINGSPHAN I was just responding to your story that you posted. Like a joke--LOL, but I have concerns. I have posted 3 major what I thought were thought provoking posts in the last 2 weeks with just one answer with any real thought by bently20 #1788 no other replies. HMMMM...I like to listen to Crammer for a good laugh from time to time he is a nutcase but also has a lot of good information if you can sift through the zannies. From what he says, and I believe this is good information, stocks like TKO are called very speculative. He gives signs to watch for(like when to bail) and unfortunatley TKO has shown many of these.
1. Sudden resignation of Corporate Officers like CFO, CEO, or COO for personal reasons. TKO's CFO resigned suddenly for personal reasons.
2. The Financial statements large loans with no profit to pay the off. Need I say more.
3. No News or guidance for more than 2 Qtrs. YEAH OK.
4. No appreciable changes in volume or stock price for 3 or 4 Qtrs. OK OK it just gets worse for TKO.
I am a real believer in TKO's technology and was a fan because they had no competition. I am a rock solid long and strong stock holder since the first came to the AMEX 2 and 1/2 to 3 years. The landscape is changing and I a starting to look over my shoulder as other competitors are catching up. I am not stupid blindly holding on to shares till yhe ship sinks. Things are really looking UP for TKO but they must act fast and decisively towards the future or someone will steal all of their hard work. I don't 100% trust RP and staff to do the right thing for the stockholders. They have shown nothing but disrespect for us. I have a real funny fealing that something is up maybe an M/A or takeover which will greately benifit the major stock holders. I am real suspicious here if there is not a real good Financial report on 11/9 and a major anouncement soon after like a few days I will have to start looking at reducing my holdings. My Mother did not raise a stupid child (my Father raised me) HA HA. Just some food for thought...
Then I should run the other way and not look back on TKO?
I agree 100%
My biggest concern for TKO is BRIC and how are they going to exploit this huge market??
I originally posted this on 11/3 as post #1797 as a comment on bently20 post #1788 and as food for thought over the weekend. I did not receive a single reply maybe because it was on a weekend. So I will ask the question again.
My Biggest Concern For TKO's Future is, BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China). Telkonet's future hangs on its ability to sell it's product in these areas of the world. These 4 country's economic expansion in the next 20 years is exponential. I might want to also include Eastern Europe and Africa in this discussion. These areas of the world are basically untapped for broadband. They all have one thing in common ELECTRIAL WIRING and they all have Electric Substations and Grids that need monitoring and improvement. I had hoped GE would be an excellent partner in this. They already have a huge footprint in these areas of the world, Electricity Generating Power Plants, Water Treatment etc...etc...but I am not clear on their intentions. Who Knows??
On July 27, 2005 Telkonet introduced Seth Blumenfeld as a Master of the Universe in their praise for his International deal making experience with MCI. See news release below from TKO's website.

I am still waiting for an announcement of a Major International Deal, What Gives?? Is he the right guy for the job?? I am not trying to bash TKO(I am a rock solid LONG) but, I am trying to promote thought and discussion. I am genuinely concerned about their behavior. Is RP in this for the long haul or GAIN??
I almost tend to agree TKO down 10% in the last 2 weeks. It's reaching a bail out point and I am long and strong just very very concerned!!!
Isaiah I don't think you understood my question but thanks for the reply.
SteelCityDog Good Luck Tomorrow...
That was masterful...
Did you even understand what I was asking? I am not being malicious at all I just may have asked the wrong person the wrong question. Thanks for your reply...
Excuse my ignorance but what is 14A on Dec. 8,2006??

DOG I don't really need a terrible towel but thanks for the thought. I bleed Blue and Orange...
Isaiah thanks for the excellent explanation but my real question is about how does CISCO fit into the BPL/PLC picture? I have asked this before but got back comments without knowledge of what CISCO really is as a company. You seem to have the perspective that I was looking for.
My CISCO thoughts may be totally wrong but some earlier comments on this board about home theater and computer networks with TKO technology (no more wires) got me thinking about all of the networking gear that clutters up the office, buildings, Govt reservations etc... No more need for CAT5 wiring, bridges, hubs, routers,etc... That's what CISCO does. This won't happen overnight but as office networks need upgrading eventually people will migrate to PLC and electrical outlets it just makes economic sense. A cleaner(a lot less clutter), more secure, a lot less moving parts(less maintenance and mysterious breakdowns that you need a staff to fix), and a whole lot cheaper(less expensive CISCO equipment and expensive CISCO certified techs) way to network a business. TKO also provides a very good wireless system they are demonstrating in Manhattan NY Trump Plaza I believe. I think its more like a Metropolitan Area Network(covers whole blocks). I am not a network guy by any means and my thinking may be totally wrong, but that's why I waned to ask someone who was more network savy than myself. Cisco is going to want a piece of this or even the whole thing. Thats how they operate by acquisition of existing companies. I fear that if RP and the coorporate greybeards don't get off their yaughts and appease Wall Street and Investment Houses they will have this stolen from them by someone like CISCO. That affects us because we will not get to realize our full share potential. Maybee this is RP's plan thus the silence and lack of care about stockholders. His only comment about all of this was on June 19 I believe when he half heartedly commented about the share price. GO FIGURE...

Steeltowndog See Ya on the field Sunday. It should be a good game like last weeks game Broncos vs Colts a great game. One of the best I have seen in a long long time. Shaky Jake and the boys still have not forgotten the AFC Championship game last year they want some revenge. Se Ya Sunday!!!
HELLO, I have not posted for a couple of weeks because I have not had anything positive to say. It seems there is a lot of questioning on longs and day traders la di da la di da. Get real people this board is the best place for information and intelligent discussion on TKO period. I am rock solid on TKO for a number of reasons I have stated be4, but I am a realist and if TKO doesn’t move very soon someone will steal this away from them. From the posts I have been reading this week it is time to ask some questions. I am just trying to provoke some thought so anyone is welcome to answer any question or all…
1. If RP cannot make friends with wall street and institutional investors maybe its time for him to step down. What do you think?
2. Maybe ALL of the management needs to ask themselves questions on weather they are in over their heads trying to manage a product roll out of this magnitude and either step up or step aside shouldn‘t they? COO John Cramp seems to have extra time to serve on advisory boards for other companies, should he have that much extra time with all of this on his dinner plate at Telkonet?
3. Why has there never been a quarterly conference call scheduled ever? I would like to hear what they have to say. They never give guidance. They may file their 10Q on November 9 or 10 but there seems to be a lot of talk about that being delayed on this board taken off the Yahoo board. Do other companies treat their stockholders like this keeping them in the dark on finances? I don’t think so because they wouldn’t have many investors for long if they did.
4. It doesn’t look like this EDS contract will be announced until Q2-Q3 2007. In fact it doesn’t look like much if any new substantial financial activity or PR's will be reported until Q1 or Q2 of 2007. What do you think?
I am asking these questions for a reason. I like to trade around a base position of TKO stock. I was in HOLD mode until this week waiting for mid November why? I am still trying to figure that one out. There seems to be a lot of confusion about dates of upcoming announcements that we believe to be true. I have started liquidating some of my position to make some money. I could do better than this in a short term CD at least 5% or buy other stocks that will make money in Q4 and then buy back in on news late Q4 or Q1 of 2007 who knows?? I think I have my mind made up and then the dates seem to slide further in time. I have lost enough in the last 2 weeks to make me pause, I must act to make some money I don’t like to let my funds sit and loose value I like to keep things moving in a positive direction. Time to act or react…
