wow, so you're already well into the green. nice job. i think ill buy in right away tomorrow if i can get a little more information regarding how share structure works on a buyout like that. from what i'm gathering, if someone buys the company for $0.01 per share, your shares are converted to theirs at $0.01 value regardless of whether it traded higher or lower at that time.
does this sound right?
So how does that work though? If it's bought at 0.01, then isn't the only true value at time of buyout 0.01 no matter what? Sorry for rehashing this if it's already been addressed. It's a unique situation I haven't run into yet.
It's an interesting stock. There's still some i's to dot and t's to cross at the moment. But it's at a point where you can see 3x-5x returns in a short time depending on the events in the upcoming weeks. Then the long-term potential, especially if the patent is approved, is huge. I am really waiting for a 100% confirmation that the four major wireless carriers are on board. It appears as if they are, but without a 100% confirmation from GOIG, I refuse to get ahead of myself.
However, they've filed for a patent on their technology, filed for upgraded OTC listing, planning official launch this quarter (2 more weeks window), and are expecting positive cash flow right from launch. Plus, their last financial report was way more informative and transparent than any pink sheet is required. A good sign.
Again, this is all forward looking and based on the timely execution of their plan, so I remain cautious until then. But it is certainly has potential. If Luniel de Beer was executing, I'd have no worries whatsoever.
Would anyone be willing to elaborate a little on how a buyout at $0.01 per share impacts the shareholders? Let's say the value of the stock is at $0.005. Does it automatically double in value when the contract is signed? And if it's at $0.02, does it get cut in half? I've always been a bit confused on how a buyout works. Thanks in advance.
Or you can think about it as a $0.80 to $1.62 increase was entirely to high for the news we got. Therefore, it wasn't as much a drop as it was a temporary spike. Had that not occured, the smear campaign wouldn't have been as effective, the drop wouldn't have scared as many people, and we'd probably be hovering between $0.80-0.90. Short-term bummer, but long-term negligible effect. It's tough to think of it that way.
Move this over to the maone15 board real quick. I'd like to talk a little more about this one.
It would appear that TSHO has hit a stable point around $0.60. Not as high as everyone would like, but certainly comforting to know it's stable. I really believe that this is in no way a reflection of what you'll see in August.
Also, has anyone noticed the smear campaign magically stopped? For no reason whatsoever, it completely halted.
With the hire of the PR firm, it's clear they are parting ways with Skymark very shortly. Now that they have gone from concept to operations, they no longer need their services to get the word out. Given the recent dust storm, this couldn't come at a better time.
Actually, if that golden cross holds off and coincides with the launch, it might be a great situation. That's assuming the pps maintains a decent level after that. So probably no need to be in a hurry yet.
It's actually a strategy for emerging companies to list names on their Board of Directors just to make them look more legit. It's possible that he does nothing except answer his phone when an acquaintance needs advice. I know this because it was recommended I do the same with my company.
Still, looks like we need to research yet another path.
When I went to switch from Scottrade to Ameritrade, they told me to forget the whole transfer process and just cash out from Scottrade and deposit to TDA when I can. They said transfers don't go smooth.
I'm not overly impressed with TDA though, so I'm looking at Zecco and E-trade now.
It might be a role he has from which he gives advice for a friend. Who knows. I am most certainly interested to find out exactly what and why his involvement is.
It's related to the CEO of Tradeshow Marketing, so from that perspective, it is valid. I am curious as to what his involvement requires outside of TSHO, which I hope is his focus.
This company is all over the board. Name changes, symbol changes, travel reservations, alternative energy, etc. It looks like a confusing mess.
Thanks, it is clear now that de Beer's name is clearly associated.
Yes, that helps a ton. Thanks. I get pretty lost in technical indicators, but am starting to realize they are important even when invested on fundamentals.
I concur. Since the Ambassadors will be getting quite a bit of information, they would almost have to match some of it in a PR. That's the most exciting thing I've heard yet. Nonetheless, I am prepared to bounce around in this price range until the end of the month if we don't hear anything significant.
That makes much more sense. I know I did some DD and came across PBEC a while back. I just can't remember exactly what it was in regards to.
What's the importance of the golden cross in a situation such as GOIG? I would think the only real events that will boost PPS is the launch of the service or some sort of big PR news. I am unfamiliar with technicals.
Wait, I've looked into this before and it's escaping my memory right now. I think this was a company Luniel de Beer had been involved with prior to TSHO but not anymore. I'm not sure what the deal is with it starting to trade now, I thought the company was basically defunct.
And as for being the next ESR/Skymark pick? Where did you get that info?
That doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Where does Luniel de Beer's name show up?
That's all their debt? They really have 0 debt after this? How about revenue? Are you aware of their current cash flow? I'm still early in my DD at the moment.

That post is from January 30. All valid points at the time. There have been a few developments since. They have crossed that line from concept to operation. Plus, the dilution factor is taken out now that they got $1.2 million in private funding. Nonetheless, I do agree that we are a few months away from significant financial figures. I think August is the month we are waiting for. Before then I would like to see an upgraded listing, but I don't know if that is in the plans.
Interesting. Yes that helps, thanks!
Solid without a doubt. The day they stop coming through on their promises is the day I'll start worrying. They've had plenty of opportunities to default on a promise and they haven't. Not one time. This kind of consistency is a rare quality.
I'm watching Level 2 as well. What is the importance of filling gaps?
Lot's of companies have that ability. It's not a difficult service to set up. I never really cared about the SMS text service part of this. The key is in the back-end infrastructure that instantly connects a company's call center. This has further reaching capabilities than just text. It changes the way transactions can be done, LD minutes can be billed, call center queues, mobile purchasing, etc. For me, the patent surrounding that is the biggest asset.
This morning I open Level 2's for TSHO, GOIG, and ZVTK, and there's NITE at the top of the bid and ask on all three. Surprise surprise.
When I went to sleep last night I considered what the implications are if a company goes out and just registers their own short code instead of using GO800. For example, if Chase bank registers 24273 (CHASE) instead of paying GO800 for the CHASE keyword.
If they did, it wouldn't matter in the slightest. With the technology patented, they would still have to lease the service from GoIP Global. So if they saved $500/month by not using GO800 keywords, they would spend $500/month to use the GO800 infrastructure. Plus, they wouldn't be part of the "directory." Unless there's some technical sorcery or just flat out treading on the patent, it would be tough to circumvent any recurring revenue to GoIP Global.
Food for thought on the technical level.
Ahh...yes, this situation looks very familiar. A promising company with recent rises in PPS now attracting the attention of short-sellers and their article writing cronies. It happens all to often. Throw in a couple facts, mention the SEC, and weave a story around it.
It looks like this stock has finally attracted the sharks. And as long as everything stays on schedule, they only have about two weeks to try and manipulate it for short-selling. After that, the merit of the company will carry it beyond their grasp. If you believe in this company, stay strong with your shares because the ride is probably going to get a little bumpy.
If the GO800 service outweighs Verizon, I think Google would sweep them up in a heartbeat. It's the exact type of service Google would benefit from. Look here:
http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sms.html#p=default
Google offers a pretty extensive SMS service with short code 466453 (GOOGLE). However, it doesn't offer the interactivity and savings for a company that GO800 could. And it never will without rights to the patent. On top of that, you have to consider that the IP will evolve from text messaging to engrained functionality within the phone such as the Android OS.
A buyout from Google would be the perfect situation.
I didn't say that they that GoIP said they weren't onboard. I just said they haven't officially said all four major carriers were functioning yet. They officially said all three were.
Yes, I know the short code is working. I'm happy to see that every day. And I know what the financial report said. Don't twist this around to be more than what I originally asked. I am only looking for an official statement from GoIP Global that says all four major carriers are provisioned. They deemed confirming three to be important enough for a statement so I'm sure they won't overlook confirming the fourth. That's all I originally asked and I got completely attacked for it.
I also can't find it in the official directory here: http://www.usshortcodes.com/
I can't find GOOGLE in it either, so I don't think it's the only way to activate a short code.
Be angry with me all you want, I will continue to ask if people will confirm the test texts, and I will continue to provide my answer when the issue arises. In this stage of growth, it is a completely valid question. And once I do see the official confirmation, my mind will be at ease.
It would be a giant mistake. But as you cited with Steve Job's, not unprecedented. Jobs is also a brilliant egotistical maniac. He probably got up from the table, slammed the door, and never walked back in. I'm thinking Verizon will simply get more money in the contract.
But maybe there is no direct contract with the carriers. Maybe it's all done through the CSCA? I can't find the GO800 short code on their site though.
I can't find GO800 listed in the CSCA directory. I can't find GOOGLE either for that matter. Would you mind looking and seeing if I'm missing something?
No they shouldn't scrap it, I just think that 30% of a market is pretty substantial. Since this is being done through the CSCA, and they already have carrier contracts in place, it's probably not a major worry. But they released a statement saying 3 of the 4 major carriers are functioning, so I am looking forward to the statement that says all 4 are functioning.
Each time it's been tested by someone on the board, it's been working. I'm certainly happy to see that.
