PNRG - put me down for 4.37 B on July 22nd. Thanks for keeping the new pool and thanks to CEO for all the work on the last one!!!
I don't know who bought them, but it sure wasn't me. More of an exercise in frustration - I tried at .14, .145, .15, slapped the ask at .1661 (5k of 100k filled), tried at .1685. All day and only got 5k. I am not certain what the days ahead will bring, but I guess i'll just keep watching and provide a little support if it pulls back again.
Some days are better than others. Jealous!
I can say this - its really difficult to buy any shares right now. I've slapped the ask at .1661 for 100k, then 5k fills and Nite jumps me on the bid to .1662 - so 95k still waiting.
I put another order for 50k at .1685- Raff jumps me -nothing filled.
Anyone wanting to sell - hurry up about it. TIA
I believe there were "several" interested parties. So, the first offer is in - how long before the 2nd or 3rd gets submitted? Any guesses? No one ever takes the 1st offer.
If you enter a lower ask than what is sitting on the bid, then you are either inept or "playing games".
I don't care about the use of algorithms. But, anyone who uses algorithms simply adjust parameters within those algorithms rather than rewriting them from scratch every time you want to change a variable. One individual could literally adjust several hundred on any given day. Regardless, that is not what I was referring to in my post about "games" - please see first paragraph above.
JMO
Games - Raff was sitting on the bid at .25, then Nite undercuts by more than 3 cents on the ask? Of course, Raff adjusts the bid - why pay more if Nite is willing to sell at .219.
Still, there is a huge gap on the Ask - .219 to .26. I guess we sill see what the day brings. All in all, I don't believe we have ever had a written offer in our back pocket.
JMO
It looks like an update to shareholders to me. JMO
I believe Cede & Co has been explained to you.
With regards to the individuals, if you wish to quote me, then please do so accurately. What I stated is pasted below so I do not think you can get 10+ IR personnel from that statement unless you just stop reading mid-sentence.
"Most of the individuals you have listed I recognize as our IR group and numerous inventors of the patents we hold. I assume the others are for technical services or web development activities, etc."
JMO
Cede & Co. is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust Company.
Most of the individuals you have listed I recognize as our IR group and numerous inventors of the patents we hold. I assume the others are for technical services or web development activities, etc.
As for the companies listed, I would venture to say they are mostly companies that will provide cash for restricted shares - thus, how we have managed to operate and eliminate debt.
This is exactly what I would expect to see from a developmental company. The end game is still the same. Sell or license the technology, in that order.
JMO
Love the enthusiasm - hope you are right!
Not sure Monday will the the ultimate day, although I do believe we are getting close. I also am of the opinion that news will be out prior to trading on Monday - just not certain it will be the final verdict.
In any case, put me down for $4.37 Billion. You should appreciate the 7 connection there. GLTA
I'm switching from beer to sangria. Happy Holiday Weekend!!!
JMOH
Nice pick up. Got mine at .1901
Happy to have them. GLTY
Happy 4th!
Not a coincidence. It was brought to their attention and they quickly rectified the mistake. My guess is that Chang is the one that approves the website design and he has never actually met with Tucker face to face. Also, I believe Sawyer, Tucker and Candy have never actually been on the website - not unusual for Directors.
If you want to tie a nice little bow around it, then you can visit Tucker's LinkedIn profile, check the references he provides for those in the telecom industry, you will notice a gentlemen named Gavin, follow that to his profile and you will see references provided by others and that leads you to Sawyer and Digifonica.
Also, Candy has worked with Tucker for 15-20 yrs dating back to Orange I believe.
So, no imposters - just a mistake.
JMO
Yeah, after you posted that me and a few others did some more digging. After a lot of that, we became convinced that somehow we actually had the wrong pic on our site. I called Rich to have him check with the web people and either Sawyer or Tucker to get it fixed. Obviously, he jumped right on it.
Silly mistake, but nothing nefarious. JMHO
Now, that is better. The website has been updated with the actual pic of our Colin Tucker.
In addition, they missed the response deadline for the first time in their 5 yr attempt to get that patent. To me, that is evidence they are moving in a different direction.
No, I do not think they need to respond. Around the time MG got approved for patent they also announced an end to roaming charges in the EU (Instead, opting for a flat monthly fee.) I believe they decided some time ago that they were "in" whether for a licen. or a buyout. Either way, they are rolling things out and taking mkt share while others are sitting on the proverbial pot. JMO
I like DT with a consortium bid. JMO
Okay, I don't have time to go through all of those again right now, but I can give you one from memory:
CC Tucker specifically calls out TMobile with regards to infringement.
I know it is a bear to listen to, but you just have to suffer through it. One of the white papers is also very frustrating (new world...) - still the info is worth the trouble. I don't think there is a written transcript, but you could call and ask Rich, the IR guy. Usually I have to leave a message, but he always calls me back by the end of the day.
While many believe the LI patent is the key, I do not. I do think it is extremely valuable since many countries will not allow VOIP sevice without it and the NSA's program of mass collection and data mining is currently under suit (Sen. Paul Rand I believe) to determine its legal standing with regards to the constitution. I find more value in RBR (foundational to VOIP) and MG (especially in the EU). Also, the AIS patent could hold tremendous value if a handset provider gets in on the deal.
JMO
Yes, the company claims others are infringing. They mentioned it in the CC as well as in the white papers.
Another run is on the way!!!
The restrictions have nothing to do with the trading policy. The full context of the blackout pr is very clear.
With regards to the existence of the BOD, there is plenty of information in the public sphere that can verify their credentials. Here is one for you:
Insiders at monitise plc (MONI)
Colin Tucker
26 Relationships
Independent Non-Executive Director, Chairman of Remuneration Committee, Member of Audit & Risk Committee and Member of Nominations Committee
Member of the Board of Directors
68
You can google this for yourself and look at the board members to verify.
Also, although they are primarily listed on the London Stock Exchange (MONI) with a mkt cap of 1.9 billion, they also trade in the US on the PINKS as MONIF.
The list goes on and on, but too much to include in a post. Hope tht helps.
I would add that they not only have failed, but also missed the statutory deadline for filing a response to their latest effort (page 2 image file wrapper of the rejection letter USPTO).
They have never missed that date since they filed for the patent - with each rejection, they always filed a response within the 3 mnth deadline, except for this last time - missed it!
Of course, they probably never really wanted it anyway, right?
Yes, I do have that list for all the parties I would be concerned about. It can easily be put together with any real DD of public info and the parties outlined in the PRs.
As for the "exempt" filings with the SEC - go check edgar online for that info.
Your interpretation of the blackout period as being vague is laughable to me, but I must be one of those "naive" investors you refer to in your post.
JMO
Read the next line for more clarity.
"The purpose of the Blackout Period is to preclude specific individuals and entities close to the Company from trading Voip-Pal stock during the Blackout Period."
Do you still believe that it is open for interpretation?
I agree and certainly appreciate all the members that spend their time posting info that is relevant to these patents, this stock and this BOD. As you can see from my posts, I feel that same need on occasion - even more lately.
BTW, congrats on being named a MOD! I have no doubt you will be a great addition as you have always been a great poster.
Well, if true it looks like a smart move at this point. Of course, you also ran the risk of missing entirely. If it hits around that mark, I'll be adding as well.
Also, every long that has gone through their DD should have no doubt what the plans from the BOD are as outlined. A.)Sell B.) License.
The only speculation regarding the plans (sell v lic) that I have seen is caused by silence by the BOD on these matters for long periods of time. Much of this extended silent period was the result of delays in prosecuting the MG patent due to false claims of prior art that were utimately denied by the USPTO. Thus, the typical time line for that patent was delayed from mid-Nov. to some time in Feb.
The BOD always said they would not do anything dramatic until the cert's were in-hand. Now, we have them and the board is acting.
JMO GLTY
Amen to that! Personally, I don't buy the DD cover for all these questions and denial of simple facts. Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but it looks to me that he and a few others have a job to do here and they are working incredibly hard to be successful at it. JMO
M Market has reacted this way because we have a gap to fill from the prior run. Same as any stock. IMO
Because court is a last resort. The boardroom is better at this time. IMO
Anyone notice RAFF sitting on the bid?
They know exactly what they are in here and how it fits in the telecom industry. Tucker was (and I believe Candy as well) instrumental in the developement of the technology at Digifonica prior to the purchase by VPLM. Any suggestions to the contrary are absolute nonsense. JMO
Thanks, it also looks like they missed the 3 month statutory deadline for filing a response. Looks good to me.
GT - if you have the app number handy, could you paste it. I havn't looked at it for a while and it would save some digging. TIA
Their version was rejected by the patent office. Thus, if they have version they are using, then it would in all likelyhood be infringing upon another issued by the patent office. Did you look at the actual patent office website under the transaction tab to see this history or did you read an article about it? Just curious if you are familiar with the navigation of the USPTO website. If not, then any number of us can point you in the right direction if you wish.
Also, what makes VPLM's LI unique is the process used which renders the intercept undetectable by the parties on the connection. I am not aware of any other technolgy that can make that claim. JMO
What's the largest deal you have ever negotiated? Tucker's is around 38 Billion US dollars. I'll take my chances with his strategy.
I havn't seen you for a while around here, but I think you summed it up beautifully.
Typical MM play - hammer it down, then buy at the low to cover or establish a position - easy money for those that do it every day. They are good at what they do. JMO
This is not the event they were talking about in the blackout pr. It specifically stated the event was related to negotiations with interested parties towards monetizing the patents. Breath deeply. LOL JMO
