Article: Current/TXU Rollout

Now if we could just replace "Current" with "Ambient"
and "TXU" with "Duke" or "ED" or "SDG&E"

Bill, This sure looks better than an empty LOI.
It sounds like a done deal. Maybe we'll hear from the new management soon as to their business plans. I would expect some other filing with the execution of the agreement before that.
gl
Runwithit, Forget their idea.imo
If they aren't making money, their business is selling shares. The idea is the hook. The pr is the bait. That's the game.imo
Look at their filings>
(Reading filings are a MUST for good dd. The devil is in the details and that's where the details are. Print them out and get your highlighter. Pretend they're interesting. Show me the money.)
Latest 10K:http://biz.yahoo.com/e/060328/etls.ob10ksb.html
Latest Financials:http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=etls.ob
(follow that money...)
"All Of Our Assets Are Securing Our Obligations To Cornell Capital Partners " -latest 10k
From a quick glance, this company is losing money hand over fist and recently signed the type of toxic financing that companies with a bright future just don't sign. (This is called a "convertible debenture" search "death spiral financing" in the 10k they call it the "November 2005 Debenture"- LOL I like that name. It sounds cold and desperate.
Essentially, management entered an agreement to borrow money based on converting shares (at a discount) to repay the loan but as
the price goes lower the financer gets more shares (that he needs to sell) Often they will drive the price down by selling short into the market and cover at a lower price(using their converted shares) the increase to the share pool is known as dilution. It makes your stock go down and stay down.
There are many ways that the management can conspire to drive the price down often shorting their own stock offshore.
The company financing ETLS is called Cornell Capital Partners LP and they are known for toxic financing with disasterous results. They ate one of my puppies when I wasn't looking. When you ask yourself, "Who is selling all these shares?"...It's them.imo
"Existing Shareholders Will Experience Significant Dilution From The Conversion Of The November 2005 Debentures "- not might or can, WILL- They are more sure of this fact than anything else in the whole filing. Bank on it.
Also, stay away from the pink sheets, they have a license to steal your money and they don't have to tell you diddley. It's not investing, it's gambling. But the odds are worse than roulette (and I love that game) Don't follow the herd, they're headed to market.
Serf gave some great advice on how to read the charts. Those charts and some basic dd will tell you all you need to know.imo
This has been a reading from the Book of Polka.

Serf, Cornell Partners LLC
That's never a good sign when they're your daddy.
imo
night serf!
runwithit, First, you asked "why this happened"
I'm not sure what happened but I'm guessing the stock price declined. As to what it might mean, it usually means more people sold the stock than bought it or that the intrinsic value of the stock (as determined by the OTC market makers)
With no recent news or filings on etls, I'd have to ask- why did this stock go up?
What made you buy it? Where did you hear about it? Was the stock already running?
When people pump a particular stock it is often so they can dump huge amounts of shares on the market often to unsuspecting noobies. They are essentially buying artificially inflated shares from promoters. See the volume spike on Serf's chart.When the pumping stops so does the buying, everyone sees dead people and runs (sells). Search 'pump and dump'
imo
gl
Runwithit, I am knowledgable in all things
polka related.
Stocks? Ehhh, not so much.
And to be honest, you need to learn to do your own due diligence so WHEN your money vaporizes before your very eyes with no reasonable explanation, it is your own fault and you have something to learn from. If you invest based on message board promotions without seriously researching first, you won't be playing the pennies for long.
All that being said, you've come to the right place. I'm an honerable guy and you can trust me. I will help you on the road to perdition, well at least on the path to solid dd...
Hang on, I'm starting up the Polka-matic DD Machine...

Thanks for the dd Bill, I own 1900 shares so that's
about 2/3 of %1 of the float. I think I deserve an office.
I'd like a Japanese secretary too, although my Chinese wife might not approve of that one.LOL
I still think they could do a corporate restructuring. Maybe issue a new preferred A class and rs the common stock, wiping out fractional holders, then FS and voila!, a Japanese company with no baggage. Just a worse case.
At any rate, here's to you for keeping the lights for TDII.
Serf and I are already looking for the next one but he's to cheap to sign up for the free list on shellstockreview.lol

Serf, From that shell list...
If you had to pick one under $5,

That's your mission, should you decide to accept it.
I'll do the same and I'll meet you on the bridge for the handoff.
Good luck. Mr.Serf
Excellent site with a good e-mail alert. Very early warning signs.
Also, the ihub shell stocks board is pretty good.
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=1560
You can look back a year or more into the shell posts because most of them haven't changed much.
Good fun, those shells. It's like buying property in the desert and hoping they'll put a freeway in someday.
Serf, I wonder why shellstockreview didn't pick up on it.
Anyway, that was shell #2 I was talking about in this post:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=10190009
Everything is proceeding as I have planned. Give me a 1000:1 FS and I will rule the polka world.lol
I knew that would get bought up because it's clean, otc and it was trading below book. Low float will require some restructuring.imo Hopefully, they're preparing my corner office.
Mr. Bill! No, I didn't see the news today but I see it now
It didn't show up on Yahoo, but on PinkSheets.Hmmm.
I did notice the two upticks today and I think I saw one yesterday too. That's some big volume,huh? Since they purchased the shares privately I guess it won't drive the pps.I only have a small position but a big FS would be nice. Let's hope the new management is shareholder friendly and not planning to crush us shell collectors before moving in.(Think Sluggo)imo
Thanks for thinking of me, Mr. Bill

If they're Part 15 compliant,
then they are tolerable.(Light sabers and tricorders are OK.)
But let's leave out of this. If you go there, you've gone too far.imo
Serf, Wait until they sign a contract to feed noodles to the Chinese Army. She will turn into an Asian hottie overnight.lol
Seriously, I think they are due for some contract renewals. They sell flour to KFC in China and they love that stuff more than McD. The new rage is Pizza Hut, they line up around the block and spend a weeks salary on it, they need that flour contract.imo
Plus, the winter is over and SARS and bird flu haven't killed everyone yet. Spring is always good for this stock, people eat out more and orders increase. SARS was really bad on NWD.imo

-ionic air purifiers (ionic pollution machines)
-baby monitors ("Forget the baby.We need to hear Venus )
-high-pressure sodium lighting (most streetlights)
-garage door openers
-ultrasonic pest repellents (used in every veterinary office, hamsters fear them like Superman fears green rocks)
-electric blankets (I'll give them that one. Those things are just wrong.)
-Maytag washing machine (specifically just the Neptune model but ALL of them)
-electric pencil sharpeners (which eliminates all Catholic schools, I say OK but girls in public high schools will now have to wear plaid skirts. Fair is fair.)
-computer speakers (I don't know about all of them but Logitech is frequently the offender here)
-electric fences
-car washes (They're not good for the Bondo-mobiles)
-most electric technology invented after 1963 (the year THEY cam back and shot JFK from an invisible UFO)

Essentially, the ARRL has frivolously documented themselves into complete and total irrelevance. The FCC knows they're FOS and so does the Amateur Radio community. You don't hear about BPL concerns outside of the ARRL and most hams aren't ARRL members.

FCC: MANASSAS REPORTS NO INTERFERENCE/
ANNOUNCES G2 UPGRADE
In response to a complaint by an amateur operator, COMTek reported to the FCC this month that an independent FCC-certified testing laboratory could find no interference attributable to BPL in the specific ham radio frequencies. According to COMTek, the testing lab conducted on/off tests of the system, and found “an almost identical level of interference in the ham bands covered in the complaint to the FCC, regardless of whether or not the BPL equipment was in operation. This means that, while ham radio operators may have detected the interference reported to the FCC, it does not appear to arise from COMTek’s BPL operations.” In response to COMTek’s news release, ARRL posted a story to its Web site quoting the local amateur operator that the interference is “still there”, basically ignoring the larger question whether the interference is from BPL.

Serf, the mms aren't buying them, imo
they're trading them. In bulk. Probably due to boiler room promotions (pumping the false connection to NIVS)
they get their pip in the spread if it's trading at .0003 or .003 going up, down or sideways.
They might choose to be short or long.( Based on the obvious factors I'd guess they would be more than happy to be short at .0014 right about now)
I'm not saying they're not complicit in the fraud but that's their job here. They don't have to carry an inventory.
They're not getting stuck, the buyer is. MM's love this.

Buy low, sell everything at %20 profit. Slow growth. Set it and forget it.
fwiw, FATS was one of the first picks I brought to my Pennyfriends back on Sept 1 @.96
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=7586476
Since then it has visited 1.30 twice and offered two buying opps in the .85 range.PeterLeeds used to get that float going but everyone would flip it at %10-15 same day and leave bagholders standing in no volume.
I still think it's a good value, low float play with a relatively low risk factor for an OTC stock.imo
I still think they are a potential target for acquisition. Look at their customers, any one of them could swallow FATS whole and not even burp. Possibly a CIA thing, black bag stuff.(stay with me a second) Sold in more than 50 countries, they are independant contractors that travel freely and deal exclusively with paramilitary and police factions in the name of good business and cutting edge technology. Do you think their "sales team" ever come across any valuable intel on their sales trips? Perhaps regarding the specific needs of their customers? Take that one up to the grassy knoll and ask yourself, wtf? Lol.

ANO(1.25) A Canadian/AMEX South African platinum play.
I can't believe I just typed that. This is the kind of stock you'd find chef pumping.imo
I'm NOT pumping, just watching (and I need a place to put this chart)
Somebody must be promoting this, these things don't sell themselves.imo
dyodd (gl), I found this one at 4am with both my eyes closed and one hand on the wheel while drinking a fine ripple.
imo
Serf, yes, I found EASY on infiniti,
They have to get over $1 by August or they lose their Nas SC listing. Insiders are pulling together to save the ship and tighten the float. That's my kind of financing.
Nope,I love her but I can't afford her.
She's all yours.
Heres another.You'll like her.
She's really, really EASY...
This cheap thang has to get over a buck by August or it gets delisted from the Nas small cap. Check out the financing pr they put out AH :

That's my kind of financing.
OK, that's 2. If I come by with another one tonight just ignore us, she'll be an ugly for sure. I found EASY hanging out at infiniti after the disco closed. See how she looks in the morning.
Serf,check out EPLN(.90)
Upon revisiting this lovely, I find they announced a .02 divy that closes in 2 days
low float (5.8mm)
What am I missing here? Limited growth potential? No exposure?
Serf,I was just thinking about FATS today
I was thinking they should change their ticker to FARTS
Then I saw they had news.
That was a PeterLeeds pick. I made a couple of good turns on that between .60 and $1 and then I got bored with the no volume and insider('04) dumping. Million dollar government contracts and no momo? I used to watch fats and nwd like a hawk, I picked up abtg at the same time in Jan 04
I liked fats because it had a solid support level, low float, contracts, patents, etc That is still true. It seems as if earnings have already been leveraged for production. Like I said, no dd. Hard telling, not knowing. What's the reading on the snerf-o-meter?
imo
GR, That would be the best possible outcome at this point. We can't burn this crackPIPE loan forever. I'm hoping that better financing is dependant on the vote to increase the AS.
The glass might be half full but it's leaking.
At least we have an improving 10q to look forward to How much is that Duke "trial" worth overall?
How's that SDG&E build out coming along?
ConEd ready to "light up" the Big Apple with Ambient gear?
Aren't we expecting a beta software release soon?
And as you've pointed out, we're all holding our breath to hear our name in the next Duke announcement...imo
All in my opinion
