Yes but you were initally criticizing "gobots" usage of the phrase "close to a penny" not my later useage of the phrase "closer than 2 pennies".
Try to at least keep track of a discussion you are participating in if you want to be taken seriously.
So yet again, "gobots" use of the phrase "close to a penny" was not incorrect.
"what would that be?"
Close to a penny. "gobots" is still correct in his wording.
This list is good in that it gives perspective to all investors, present and future.
A lot of what "gobots" has posted should be a real concern for people. Before I invested (which I did, and still own) I discussed this with friends who invest. First thing they asked me after knowing that I was interested in their advice concerned items 1) and 8) and after a few days were concerned about what actual deals had been made (items 10, 12-15). It's not like these are small minor things.
The other items on this list are things we should be concerned with after following it for awhile.
Those bashing "gobots" for trying to do a reality check are probabl happy to be ignorant and can continue with their inane "GO GO ZVTK...GREEN GREEN....UP AND UP!!11!!" all caps cheerleading posts.
I, on the other hand, like to come here and read something of value.
Thanks "gobots"
The term "close to a penny" does not mean that it never went over a penny. 1.2 and 1.4 are still close to a penny. Closer than 2 pennies.
Since you don't have a problem with his other items, and choose to personally attack rather than fact check yourself (reading comprehension), than perhaps it is your garbage we don't need on this board.
Must be waiting for another PR about sales or stores.

I also post the the same information from a month ago (around the NASCAR ad times I believe).

Read my reply again and notice that I did not request you to discontinue. I simply requested that if you're going to post Alexa than post useful information along with the Alexa ranking, which by itself does not mean much for our purposes.
To continue posting just Alexa is not much more than any other spam message. That is all.
If you're going to post Alexa rankings than please post other information that can be considered useful, or as another metric to see if the PRs and Advertising is having an impact.

What makes that bulb a Zevo-Tek New Ionic Light Bulb?
With any discernible features photo-shopped out it could be ZVTK or any of our competitors. I did not see any links to the company or product.
You realize that almost everybody here can be classified as a flipper.
Even those considered long, like myself, because I seriously doubt those investing will stick with it if/once ZVTK explodes in a fashion similar to SPNG.
craig you're exactly right.
It doesn't help the company to have people spreading misinformation or confusing certain data.
They can try to put a disclaimer on what they post to "justify" their actions but they know, like we all know, that many people are lazy and if presented with what looks like factual data, in eye-catching bold face with tons of !!! with implied correlations then they will act on that data.
Man you must have had a nice magic 8-ball to know to get it exactly at that price and not try for that .00001 lower!!!
You might also want to include in your updates that only 30% of traffic comes from search engines, and all the sites linking in to it are investor/stock sites.
So if you want to correlate this data to something useful (else why post it) than you should be posting this data since the change in traffic coming from search engines means more to the company/investors than our actual ranking. If 2 months ago 10% of traffic was coming from search engines than we can assume that the infomercials had an impact and people are becoming interested in looking up info and buying the bulb...
As a side note, I'm sure many investors are also posting the reviews on the ALEXA site (probably all of them IMO). Can you guys be any more obvious that you're shilling for a product that you own stock in? Normal consumers don't refer to the product by the stock ticker or feel obligated to throw it in there at the end of a review (same goes for the stupid Youtube comments as well). If your goal is to try and convince people that you bought the bulb and like it enough to recommend it than don't do this.
The ALEXA rankings are pretty much meaningless for our purposes considering most of the traffic (as stated from ALEXA) is coming from investor forums such as iHub/Yahoo.
You went from someone interested in buying light bulbs to an investor in the company?
There is a difference between bashing and being honest/realistic.
First it is still unconfirmed if order numbers are or are not sequential.
Second, nobody has seen actual purchases other than their own, only ones people write on iHub which may or may not be even true (I could copy paste a previous order posted and change the pertinent data and sequentially increase the order number to something else but that doesn't make it true).
This trend makes perfect sense. News come sout and a quick jump....after which people realize "oh thats all the news was? No info on actual financials or retails deals?" and then it drops.
Fortunately financials are not released so there is still hope for good news.
Well we don't know if they are selling the hell out of the bulbs yet. Our only knowledge as of yet is anecdotal (personal purchases) and speculation on the Order numbering system, which has been confirmed by iHub members as being BOTH sequential and non-sequential.
So the ony thing we can say is that we hope they are selling a lot and if they do than we have a better chance of seeing the stock price increase.
The first thing I researched into ZVTK was whether they held a patent as it gives something concrete for me to want to invest money into this company.
I have yet to find any evidence of an existing patent, but that theere was an application for a patent (unresolved). Sorry no links since this was a couple months ago and I did not save them.
If anybody does have proof please post it (I was not able to find an iHub post yet). Patents are pretty easy to search for.
Well the ASOTV website has Ionic Bulbs....the question is whose bulbs are these. They don't look like the ZVTK ones.
