Well geoly,
That's the age old question. On bottom fishing expeditions such as BK and the like you can throw out most technical indicators. Most every TA tool I look at is massively oversold. The caution here is: Oversold can become MORE oversold.
I want to see some indication that the selling has stopped (capitulation) or at least paused, and for that I defer to the faithful Japansese candlestick. A hammer bottom would be most appropriate with a doji coming in close second.

JAA007: A truer word was never spoken.
There's an old saying on Wall St.:
Buy when you're scared to death.
Sell when you're tickled to death.
Even though emotion has absolutely no place in trading or investing it's a good proverb that reminds us what to do when such opportunities present themselves.
Tyco is a great example. Another is MSO.
If you prefer to go long rather than short, these speculative buy-ins can carry a great risk/reward relationship, AND you don't always have to buy the "victim" stock. (a la WCOM, ENE, CPN, etc.)
Instead buy the "affected" sector stock(s) and forget you own them for 18-36 months.
For example, examine the results of buying affected stocks (or LEAPS) after waiting for the prices below following the 2002 FERC / California power debacle:
WMB @ 1.20
DYN @ .85
RRI @ 1.80

Mobile body plans cheap 3G phones
to boost take-up
LONDON (Reuters) - The mobile phone industry is planning to speed up the development of cheap, mass market 3G handsets to make mobile Internet and multimedia services available to more users, an industry body said on Tuesday.
The GSM Association (GSMA) said in a statement that a group of its operator members would work over the next few months on establishing a core set of common features for 3G handsets to create the economies of scale for making cheaper handsets.
Handset makers will then compete to design a 3G handset that meets the operators' common requirements and the GSMA will endorse the winning handset, which will be widely deployed by operators participating in the program.
"Our 3G handset initiative will allow far more people to take advantage of the video clips, mobile music, Internet access, and many other multimedia services now enjoyed by more affluent users in the developed world," said GSMA Chief Executive Rob Conway.
The GSMA said an earlier initiative to produce cheaper mobile handsets -- at under $30 apiece -- had been very successful, enabling millions of people in over 56 countries to start using phones for the first time.

DD: Suleiman Kerimov, the Rising Star
from Russia Intelligence
In a previous issue we dwelled at length on the background of a discreet oligarch, Suleiman Kerimov, a 39-year-old legislator in the federal Duma and owner of the Nafta Moskva company (RI N°14).
Born in Dagestan, the self-effacing Kerimov was already one of the biggest individual shareholders in Gazprom with a 2.3% stake. In recent weeks he doubled his holding to 4.5%, which probably makes him the leading stakeholder in the gas giant. The holding will probably be worth a lot of money when Gazprom starts offering equity to foreign investors, a move all but sure to drive up the price of its shares.
But Kerimov doesn’t show any sign of stopping there. Some Russian financial sources indicate he recently laid out $900 million to acquire the Polymetal mining company which owns gold and silver mines. If that sale did take place (for the moment neither Kerimov nor Polymetal have confirmed it) the transaction is interesting from a number of standpoints. Polymetal, which has been controlled up to now by St. Petersburg interests headed by Alexande Nesis, is the second biggest Russian gold producer after Polyus, affiliate of Vladimir Po ta n i n’s Norilsk Nickel group.
The gold mining industry is the scene of a lot of manoeuvring at present in view of Russia’s large reserves of the metal (RI N° 18). Many foreign mining groups are lying in wait, such as Barrick Gold and AngloGold, even though outsiders have had a rough ride in Russia in recent years. The arrival of a n ew kid on the block in the person of Kerimov confirms that Russian investors who had stood aloof from the industry up to now are also taking an interest, probably with a v i ew to the sale of the Sukhoi Log deposit, the biggest ever discovered in Russia.
Kerimov is linked to Mikhail Gutseriev, a 47-year-old who had long operated in Chechnya and Ingushetia, served as president of Slavneft and now owns the Russneft company and the BIN Bank.
Among acquaintances of Kerimov also figures the Chechen businessman Umar Dzhabrailov, who deals in real estate in Moscow. And Kerimov is equally a member of powerful lobby, the Russian Arab Business Council founded by ex prime minister Yevgeny Primakov. He is also said to be on good terms with Igor Shuvalov, deputy chief of the presidential administration (their dachas are a stone’s throw from one another). As a result, Kerimov is the man to watch in times ahead.

sirotka - probable cause from weekend newslettter
Volume Alert: Shares of USA Technologies (OTCBB: USTT), a leader in the networking of distributed assets, wireless non-cash transactions, associated financial/network services and energy management, continue to surge, rallying on three times average volume to its highest closing level since June, 2004. Shares could receive an additional lift ahead of the company’s Annual Shareholder’s Meeting in mid-March. Last week, the company announced that in a survey of four U.S. airports, vending machines fitted with the company’s e-Port® cashless transaction devices returned between $5,600 and $6,800 per machine a year over and above cash sales. The stock ended the week at $0.19, up 2 cents.
JP re: Saffo comments, music d/l, vangorilla, etc.
Thanks for posting the great info and links today - you are tireless. Some excellent points made.
Have to agree on the brilliance of visionaries like Saffo who look at the “big picture” for wireless, RFID and last mile. The Primate also sees music download applications in their true light. Teens are the next generation of “Paperclickers” for whom the bridge will facilitate a natural, everyday means of information gathering, shopping, entertainment, etc. These are the users who will generate the marketing revenues and ongoing residuals for NEOM and us early longs as we sell into pps strength over the next several years. NEOM in your 401K? Don’t rule it out just yet.
There was an ironic statement in your post referencing last mile robotics where Saffo, “highlighted the development of robotic solar powered aircraft that could fly indefinitely over a fixed point, providing data transmission and information gathering services, calling them the "poor man's geostationary satellite". I imagine this microcap will be the next one pumped by TS once they launch next month. Saffo must be another early long <g>
Beeh re: NEOM charting
That’s a good online resource madcat provided and a great synoptic of the “true picture”. As movieguy said in #6694 you need to be careful charting the pennies. In fact sometimes I wonder why we even bother. One piece of good or bad news can rip or tank these stocks in a heartbeat despite all your planning and preparation. Toxic financing usually tanks these stocks as VCs et al, sell into news driven rallies (al la Cornell). You ask about objectivity, well we could talk about the 50 day moving average, the bullish wedge continuation pattern that has formed and the first upside target of .3380 or the next Fibonacci level at .4060. But those and the other patterns that are appearing really mean nothing.
What I’m trying to say is even though I’m a technical analyst I have always primarily used fundamental analysis when planning a long term investment in the pennies. I look for value in the form of rock solid patents, IP, TMs. licensing agreements, etc. plus good management, a large market opportunity and a sound, realistic and understandable business plan. I will buy pennies on dips that fit certain TA criteria levels but that's about it. Have fun using TA on the pennies but try not to live by it long term until the pps is significantly higher, institutions and funds are buying into the stock and volatility subsides.
Being on the other side of the TA learning curve I would be glad to direct you to a few good books. There are literally thousands out there. Some not worth the paper. Others are lifelong companions. The best? Probably works by Edwards & Magee, John Murphy, Ralph Acampora, John Bollinger and if you like candles, Steve Nison plus a few others. Don’t mess around with the “me too” TA books by the "traders" who don't trade but sure sell a lot of books and tapes. Having said all that, unfortunately my experience has taught me that TA is an imperfect, inexact and amazing science. e me at halleys_5th@yahoo.co.uk if you want.

Here's the link(s). Gavitec only refers to Zero-click by name ONCE and on the Lavasphere homepage at that.
http://www.lavasphere.com/
The rest of the references require a little detective work. Zero-click is a component of the Lavasphere application therefore they likely do not want to detract from the main focus. Here are a couple of links to pages where they refer to the decode function of Zero-click.

mudrez, JP, donbalon, et al
mudrez - Your WTO comments were astute and great big-picture thinking. It’s unfortunate that world-wide patent acceptance is many years, even decades away. The wheels are in motion but turn very slowly. BTW thanks for correcting my misspell.
JP – Thanks - I look forward to meeting you at the LV Hilton $1 celebration in keeping with a new tradition. We’ll be old hats at this by the $2.5 and $5 meets. But aren’t these pps a little low for “the next GOOG”? <g>
donbalon – Great comments on Lavasphere. I’m in the same boat. Not sure if Gavitec Zeroclick decoder is a Paperclick competitive platform or not. May come down to patents again. It’s great you’re in Germany and know a former ED of Gavitec. Looking forward to your insights after 3GSM. I agree that it appears the two companies are complementary.
NEOM is not listed as an exhibitor at 3GSM (may be with Digital Rum, Symbian, Nokia) 652 exhibitors. 3GSM is growing exponentially.
NEOM could do with a precedent setting landmark patent judgement that sends the message “don’t fight our patents – license them”. In the absence of a landmark decision I see many legal challenges to the bridge in the pipeline causing a bumpy pps and profit taking. However significant appreciation is inevitable based on IP value alone. We all see why certain parties are using the company to promote a newsletter.
cp out
Fellow NEOMs: How about more discussion fodder while we await the inevitable pps increase.
Thanks to ss9173 for the very timely 2/12 posts on Gravitec and the ETH presentation. Come to think of it I haven’t seen many mentions on this board about this European “competitor”. Not sure if other board members are following Lavasphere. We would all be interested in the DD out there and on the perceived impact this co will have on NEOMs European patents apps. (plus effects on marketing by 12Snap, Digital Rum (Big Gig), etc.) Gravitec claims to offer clients “first to market” in Europe.
For background, the Lava SDK and ZeroClick products were completed in 2000/01 and implemented in early 2002 but not widely used. (late adoptors and no link registry?) The hardware & software runs on the top mobile platforms; Symbian, CE, Palm, etc., and since Ericsson awarded mobile digit “2004 Best Mobile Enterprise Application” it seems that European companies may be a tough nut for NEOM to engage in licensing negotiations. Fortunately the upholding of US patents this month and Virgin licensing after that will go a long way towards sewing up the US market for the bridge and word registry. (yes, that confident) How does everyone else see Gravitec?
Also I would be very interested in thoughts on the GLOBAL aspects of virtual/physical linking (TM & non-TM word registry plus code activation [bar/RFID, etc.]) When KO buys the word “COKE” from SAIC in San Diego does that cover linking from 193 other countries? – not likely. What is the GLOBAL solution for physical to virtual linking? How does everyone see NEOM’s piece fitting into the BIG puzzle? A look at how mobile linking will present to our neighbors in Canada and Mexico will be interesting and may foreshadow further developments.
I sincerely appreciate everyone’s hard work on this board. Your diligence continues to amaze me. It will pay off big-time, but the ride will continue to be bumpy for the rest of this year after the next level of pps increase. This will offer an opportunity for larger funds to get on board (and allow TS to do more pumping). This investor is very confident in NEOMs U.S. patent protection and market positioning and is now looking beyond the borders.
