Refresh me as to who the clowns are on this thread Red...I haven't been online much since spring...the Mrs had some secondary complications from earlier surgery that had to be addressed.
Only small cap making money in my porfolio to any appreciable degree that is... is
Magor.
I would like to see a break thru type contract...to see Magor expanding past its RCMP/GOC strong repeat client base-with an international contract announced...as it has announced in the past with its middle east repeat government customer for Aerus services in their countries own security sector...(unnamed as per ND agreement MP communicated)
I believe the recurring revenue part of the business model for MAGOR was a smart move by MP and company and will continue to show traction in the coming quarterly.
SS
FWIW- Sold near majority of my position in EUO awhile back in the .195 range earlier this year after not hearing much announced in the form of new $ales from SICPA SINCE they purchased Eurocontrol's fuel marking- revenue producing- business line.
I would assume your comments were directed at others vs yours truly RRed-and the notion that other investors are SHEEP? is counter intuitive let alone counter productive-as it portends to a "me vs them" attitude"...or having "exclusive info" which serves nobody.
Some of the stuff being linked here inparticular is not related to the investment case let alone the business case for Magor. The GOC runs a bid review process thru the "open tender" mechanism of which is not mutually exclusive to Magor.
I have had many conversations with Mike Pascoe and he has even in the past FWIW Poco?
He's Linked or directed myself how to find company related information on the web...that was public knowledge but just hard to find.
RRed and others who have had dialogue with MP? are different in that regard.
SS
FWIW-Magor needs to pay some time/energy and resources to raise Investor awareness vs investors raising it for them.
The back end of a business case is operational and obviously very important upon execution- but the front end of the business case is raising investor awareness "visibility" vs thee malpractice of investor awareness "invisibility" and is just as important in the need of any company addressing.
To ignore the front end of a business case in my experience?
Is stupid-an anyone remember the last 3rd party article about Magor or its officers/management...?
I recall only one in the last year that appeared on stockhouse and now seems defunct called "The Devils Advocate" or something to that effect...and that was a long long time ago.
Mike needs to step up in that regard cuz this constantly having to ferret out company information to a thread vs the company itself providing investor material worthy of linking to a thread?
To me its unacceptable-and I been into Magor since a few months after it went public which means I been putting up with that lack of investor awareness well over 4yrs now and counting.
Magor Corp is not alone in not paying enough attention to investor awareness and branding-many micro/small caps often do the same as well.
The front end will not look after itself...it requires a company/any company
putting the required effort into it.

StreamingEagle...I been offline a fair bit this summer-I just logged in to Ihub to find that I can't reply to any private messages now as IHub is trying to upsell me into taking out a fee based subscription in order to be able to reply to private message feature which is odd as prior if I replied to private messages it was for free.
I don't believe in paying for such services so my apologies but can't get back to you on anything any longer thru the private message feature here but Silicon Investor I believe is still free.

Range bound? Hard to say but given trading history on this one-rallying and selling off-selling off and rallying-has been known to happen.
Still EUO is well up year over year from April of last year to 2016- tho in late May and June 2015? EUO did see these same levels of bid and ask.
Would be sweet to see a big player come in on the Semi-C business side with Xwin Sys.
Markets for small cap tho IMO are skittish both in Canada and in the USA and in overseas market in general due to the ongoing debacle called the USA primary elections and if the Democrates retake the WH think we will see a late fall rally. If Donald Chump Trump steals/buys the WH tho I think the markets will react quite precipitously to the uncertainty that clown would create both domestically and abroad to world indices and economies due to the his isolationist anti free trade platform as markets-any market hates uncertainty.
The old adage sell in May and go away may well apply this year more than ever under those geopolitical USA presidential election overtones.
But if your holding a position free and clear already?
No worries. Its only April. Lots of 2016 still ahead.
We still have the $1.5Million guarantee from SICPA.
Having A sure thing minium in this skittish market?
IMO will prove to be quiet prudent long term.
SS
Hey StreamingEagle....not quite sure where the bottom is with Magor Corp. Most of the small cap sector IMO is out of favor...there are obviously select pockets of strength but overall I see the small cap space remaining skittish till after the US presidential elections conclude in November.
If HC gets the nod the democratic wining the WH again will stabilize the markets...if Trump steals the WH and advance polls indicate it?
It could prove wise to have moved to cash prior-possibly entirely in cash-cuz I don't see nothing but egregious volatility across all indices worldwide ...the uncertainty a DTrump administration would create.
MCC announced a recent additional RCMP contract-even with that win the overall market and investors threw a big yawn.
I remain cautiously optimistic with the principals behind this story being AAA grade in both investment-tech and management circles.
However I am not a buyer here if being a new investor till some base of assurity demonstrates itself in the trading action.
I am no T/A convert or surrogate but as we head into the summer-the old adage about going away in May?
This year inparticular might just apply.

Nice win by Eurocontrol-networking into this lucrative space thru product development partnering.
The $16million upfront from sale of GFI to SICPA is timely given recent advancements in the companys que/rollout and provides longevity
in the live push for EUO into the lucrative Semi C and farming sectors.
My position if free and clear in EUO and has been for some time...at this point its nice to see-in what I consider to be an investment overhang of geopolitical turmoil creating uncertainty-which by and large is based on a guy named Trump running for the GOP who makes things up as he goes along it seems-its nice to see EUO executing its rollout strategy and product development strategies are- independent of what the overall market sentiment for risk is currently.

Eurocontrol's Xenemetrix Announces MOU With Netafim for Entry Into the Precision Agriculture Industry
V.EUO | 4 days ago
Collaboration to develop state-of-the-art on-site testing equipment for farmers
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - March 28, 2016) - Eurocontrol Technics Group Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EUO) ("Eurocontrol" or the "Company"), a Canadian public company specializing in the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative authentication, verification and certification technologies, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Xenemetrix Ltd. ("Xenemetrix"), has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Netafim, an Israeli company that is the global leader in drip and micro-irrigation solutions for sustainable agricultural productivity, to develop a unique and innovative testing system utilizing Xenemetrix's Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (ED-XRF) technology for farmers and the greater farming community.
The solution that will be developed through the collaboration between Netafim and Xenemetrix will be offered as a unique and innovative service to Netafim's farming client base for performing immediate tests of crops, soil and water in the field to replace the traditional method of sending samples to laboratories and waiting days for results. Xenemetrix will leverage its ED-XRF-based spectroscopy expertise to develop a dedicated mobile and compact system for performing at-site (in-field) testing and analysis of material elements, primarily N, P and K (Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium) in the soil, water and critical parts of the crops, at set intervals. Netafim will contribute its extensive market presence and expertise to secure cooperation of prospective clients to assist with defining specifications and laboratory verification of Xenemetrix prototypes.
The MOU also provides for an exclusivity term of two years for the initial commercialization phase to ensure the rapid time-to-market and launch of a mature solution that will boost revenue and reduce expenses for the farmer. A critical value add is the risk avoidance that will be achieved by this highly accelerated testing process that will result in increased sustainability through improved yields and a decrease in waste. The Xenemetrix system will also allow for the collection of measured data and GPS coordinates that will be fed into a cloud-based repository that over time will form a big-data base that can be offered as a service to agro-companies and organizations to deal with the increasing food demand of the world's growing population and will enable insights into patterns and trends on as wide a geography as required.
Bruce Rowlands, Chief Executive Officer of Eurocontrol stated, "Precision agriculture is an area we have long seen as a perfect fit for our ED-XRF mobile technology. We are thrilled to be collaborating with Netafim, a world leader in farming innovation, in the development of a mobile testing solution for farmers worldwide in this developing market that is estimated to grow to $2.4 billion a year by 2020*."
Dr. Yoav Zeif, Vice President, Americas of Netafim added, "Netafim is seeking to give its clients innovative and holistic solutions. Doing the right analysis will ensure the efficient and economical input application. We believe in our moto, 'Grow more with less'."

Streaming Eagle: I would concur with your comments re MCC in this post.
But I will add that it is disruptive to the former standard in the industry-not just from the bridgeless interoperatbility functions from the tech side of the equation but from the budgetary concerns for a large rollout/adoption across an entire government department to department-agency to agency-ministry to ministry-embassy to embassy...to operatives in the field-video conference-video security and survellance=-be it G.O to G.O or B2B or Bussiness to G.O ...even NGO's would benefit from Aerus-and when your technology's value proposition is such that it may well become the defacto NEW gold standard in the industry sector it has entered into both from a technological/operating perspective and is more $$$ financially cost effect and viable?
Your considered a disruptive technology...revolutionary change vs evolutionary change-exponential change vs incremental change that kind of thing and if successfull in becoming the new operating standard for an entire sector?
You have a possible exponential (tsunami type wave vs gentle ones) type of ROI situation.
I say potential cuz when you bring about disruptive change and challenge the status quo in a sector?
Your replacing or vying to replace an entire industry leader already embedded in its sector-and that is not always an easy feat nor inexpensive one to undertake.
Which is why you need the networking connections to Government Agencies and Offices-to the movers and shakers in the purchasing departments of those G.O.s and equally as important in the private service sector to get your product/service into their purchasing considerations in the first place and that is where you need the strength and breath of management coming in behind your company's offerings.
Que the importance of Terry Matthews and Mike Pascoe and the entire MCC management team.
But with this type of monumental change to this sector-you still will meet with resistance-till some type of tipping point comes where the pendulum of adoption and acceptance tips in your favor and things start to build momentum on the balance sheet as scale from sales (in this case recurring revenue) starts to come into play.
Were not quite there yet IMO-were still early...BUT I do know from dialogue with Pascoe not that long ago-that it was at the request of existing customers and potential customers that MCC went back to the development que and married Aerus Cloud with the Aerus Windows application which met and was more conducive to meeting large GOC contract mass adoption/security requirements as well if one looks back on MCC's history...State interests in the USA-such as what was underway in the state of Texas which was put on the backburner till the Aerus Windows platform was developed/available.
It was also the GOC that made the request to MCC to develop the Windows based Aerus application as I understand it ( I stand to be corrected if interpreted incorrectly) and that is why this current GOC trial underway is being completely cost funded dollar for dollar and cent by cent by the GOC and born by the GOC vs MCC.
However as I said earlier in the prior post MOST INVESTORS DO NOT FACTOR IN HOW LONG GOG trials actually are in duration.
I am expecting this current one to run minimum 6mths and possibly run the entire year with results once again in December of 2016 like MCC made public in a NR this past year in Dec 2015-altho I have no information to the exact duration of the current GOC funded Aerus Windows trial and is a speculative projection on my part based on MCC's past operational public disclosures.
Personally? I am not buying any shares in MCC nor interested in acquiring any more shares in MCC at this time-till we hear/see more public disclosure related to product development and material update on adoption and acceptance..vis a vis I would like to see interest outside of Canada/Canadian government agencies be demonstrated in the MCC product/service as it relates to Security-homeland inparticular as MCC offers a very robust video surveillance unequaled by any other in the market place from a value proposition perspective and with the geopolitical situation being what it is with the extremist situation and the USA hellbent on patrolling its own southern borders let alone what is happening in Europe-Aerus offers a form of a nonphysical fence/border
that could/should be very valuable to those type of agencies IMO requiring bridgeless/interoperable functionality to their surveillance grids from command and control centers to their operatives in the field.
The next 12 to 18mths for MCC are not only going to be IMO pivotal for MCC and its Aerus Cloud and Aerus Windows platforms....but critical as well..because with disruptive patented technology...once you become the defacto standard there is always competitors nipping at your heels and burning their own midnight oil in their RandD departments hoping to knock you off and replace you as the next defacto standard in the sector as well.
SS
AyeU: I bought MCC in the trading account (Non Registered) in December 2015 ranging from .015 to .025 per share making the average .02 on the timely purchase.
I sold on the way up in the .08 range...some in the .13 .17 and last lot at .25 and left behind a small position in the trading account free and clear.
I did not obviously pick up enough shares at that price as one would have liked to given the valuations at that time and return generated on its rise to what .27 to .29 a mere month later?
I personally did not see that type of return in a short period of time coming and tho there existed those that posted it was heading to .40 per share in short order I did not share that observation and stated so on the stockhouse thread-and at .25 per share when I inquired with MCC their cash requirements and would they be entertaining a PP at any time going forward-it was not in the cards at the time and I got the impression after the dialogue that even MCC thought the stock had gotten a little ahead of itself at the time and were surprised at the meteoric rise off the bottoms of December.
In the hyperbole that some posters get caught up in or play into they gloss over or selectively forget to discuss that typically GOC trials are lengthy in duration-even ones they pay for as with MCC-I expect the one currently underway will run 6mths in duration (or possibly longer-the last one I think was 12mths duration?) and than a review/efficacy (cost and effect) review process will take place and results made public in a NR format by MCC.
Pascoe in my dialogue with him is building the business and have been building their business on the recurring revenue model transformation brick by brick and are doing so methodically.
The story tho some time in the development aspect spanning many years is still early in its mass adoption/rollout/ aspect of things...because it is disruptive technology to the status quo this is not unexpected.
Finally to clear up any of your confusion to MCC ownership...I originally as posted on the MCC thread many moons ago and updated periodically-bought shares in MCC in the .40 range in my registered holdings (RRSP) after it went public-and bought on a couple subsequent purchases for the RRSP contribution-bringing the average price in the RRSP down to the .18 range to break even.
That is like a 3 to 4yr hold of MCC in the RRSP account-just to now break even (read-was dead money for 48mths obviously) vs what a 4mth hold in the trading (CDN Margin) account with a 900% gain?
Unfortunately like I have stated the stock at .015 bid to .025 ask was compelling for a speculative investor purchase considerations-but at that price it also indicated solvency concerns (least for me it did) so ones balls would not only have to be brass to have loaded up but made of teflon against possible total loss as well.
I am cautiously optimistic on MCC by and large because of who is behind the company (Terry Matthews of Newbrdige Networks Canadian Bellweather fame sold to Alcatel for $7.1Billion) and who runs the day to day (Pascoe-also from Newbridge Networks and past Terry Matthews company
operations) and like the resource sector AyeYou...IMO you place spec money in the tech space in management first and foremost.
I have not been able to keep current with the blog and updated it let alone stay current on any threads lately as I would have liked to -due to a family related illness.
Happy Easter Sunday-one of the two days of the year we actually attend mass.

How do you know so much about stockhouse and shawshank there AyeYou?
It really has amused me since I came on this thread how "in tune" you seem to be.
Hmmmmmmmnnnnn?
If I make a mistake or error in DD or anything put up mistaken in its sourcing...its not with any agenda..just is what it is an unfortunate DD error...and I apologize for the error and retract on any thread if that occurs when brought to my attention-and I have done so when brought to my attention in over 26,000 posts made on Stockhouse nearly since its inception and 4.6million post reads...of substance vs fluff and hyperbole-try it sometime.
As to being vaporized? I have had numerous posters email my ISP asking for permission to canvas stockhouse to reinstate-they know my character in the real world not just the online one-but I can't be bothered for any campaign of that sort-really not that important-never was.
My 319 IP were well earned during the 99/00 wild west days of the internet and Stockhouse's first inception.
But in your anaology of being vaporized?
It appears you were vaporized to use your analogy-you were done just that on Silicon Investor which is why I find your being TOS'd when being a "moderator" here-let alone giving posting decorum advice?...to be very very ironical.
As to your comment about wondering why you bother to post or participate in any bullboard reading or discussions?
I am in agreement with you and like you I have made that assessment many times over-they are time consuming even if you can type 80wpm like myself-I don't know about you but i still hold down full time employment
sometimes taking me on the road-and its tough to stay current.
Especially if you get baited into a reply-set up for a TOS violation in that reply-when posters like you and I-probably should know better.
Have a good easter weekend regardless.
SS
CT-LOL
I don't think I am RR's recruite AyeYou. I am not anybody's recruit and with 26,000 posts on stockhouse and 4.6million reads and ranked 3rd all time on Stockhouse since 99/00 in those categories? couldn't keep up what I generated on my lonesome let alone being a recruit with others or under more than one alias.
I am also behind on my blog.
On this one? I was into Magor Corp a few months after it began trading under MCC-was no RocketRed on the MCC thread then...infact first time I seen RR the poster was on stockhouse last fall on the EUO thread engaging into some heated character diatribe vs discussion about the company with another poster named "RomanGod" if I recall correctly.
Infact for the longest time I was about the only poster on the MCC stockhouse thread. I have had dialogue with CEO Mike Pascoe on several
occasions and he is typically candid and quick with getting back to people.
Unlike some posters out there-I don't post the pump or pump the post-but try to be objective and call all stocks and for that matter even posters-right down the middle...and sometimes I error in my own DD or assessment and will walk a statement back ir required and outright apologize if necessary and things brought to my attention.
Terry Matthews is something like a $7billion man-one of the richest men ever to emerge from Scotland/Canada and sold Toronto Stock Exchange bellwether NewBridge Networks which between it and Nortel I think comprised 15% of the total weighting on the TSE back in 98/00 tho don't quote me on that figure-and sold Newbridge to French TelCo giant Alcatel for $7billion big ones and the management structure of Magor are all from some association in management/sales and marketing/product development with Terry Matthews somewhere from his corporate company food chain...and tho I have never engaged Matthews from what I gather from discussions with Pascoe his right hand man at Magor?
Is Terry Matthews and Pascoe in the tech space are not only representative of the "who's who" in the Canadian Investment landscape but they both may in fact be thee standard in that category given their enviable track record of unlocking shareholder value/ROI and eventual sale of company to much much bigger interests at a premium on the dollar.
That's why I am still holding shares in Magor and bought at .015 to .025 per share this past December.
Certainly wasn't anything RR or any other poster put on stockhouse or anywhere else for that matter as I was already into the story 2yrs earlier-and I follow my own drummer vs the beat of any others.
And FWIW I hate the pure pump or bashing posts as much IF NOT MORE SO than others.
SS
AyeYou-save the rhetoric for another-this is not my first rodeo- "beaking" about you is not my style-I come front and center- I don't dance-and if I error on something DD related? When brought to my attention I man up-really that simple...and its you being banned at Silicon Investor along with a couple other posters who's discussion I didn't even see but can imagine the content cuz it happens..including to yours truly... I found the Silicon Investor suspension rather amusing considering your a moderator on this thread at IHub and I would think should know how being baited by other posters works- and if that's not amusing its downright
ironical.
Legit question-so passing judgement or advice onto others becomes a moot point-few would argue.
Best advice I can give you is to stay on topic on any thread no matter the content or the poster in question.
SS
I don't utilize a level 2 trading platform as am not an active trader-so don't know how the orders stalk up on the bid and ask for tomorrow open-but the fact that when I last looked at the price on Eurocontrol last Thurs heading into the close-there seemed like a ton of resistance at .19 with lots of paper on the ask and that was taken out which to me was bullish-and even a neophyte T/A afficiando would come to the conclusion this upward momentum has legs with the positive catalysts announced the past couple of weeks.
Doesn't look like I will be able to follow this thing during market hours this week-but want to say it wont surprise me this thing hits .25 per share by mid week.

Streamingeagle...GOC as are the RCMP are already "existing" Aerus Cloud Customers that Magor from I understand is opening up new business lines with the GOC thru the development of Aerus Windows application at the GOC request for broader adoption/implementation across their entire GOC Grid where multi link HD video interoperable service is required/desired.
A large GO in the Kingdom (Saudi) involved in security for that country were also early adopters of Aerus Cloud...and there were a host of others.
The last year Magor spent developing/commercially testing and then rolling out as it went live Aerus Windows- and the windows based trial underway with the GOC announced EOY 2015? is being funded/paid by the GOC vs MCC.
The company also morphed/transitioned from a hardware model to a software/recurring revenue model in the past 18-24mths which is accretive and sequential with much higher margins and much more enviable a revenue model to implement and was the cash cow of the major telcos developed to become so cash flow predictable and long term sustainable...put the phone in the house for cost or absorb the cost and make it back on the recurring revenue monthly billing.
Deep pockets-Terry Matthews sold NewBridge Networks to French Telco Giant Alcatel in the 2000's for $7.1 billion dollars and the entire or nearly the entire management team of Magor come from NewBridge roots or some relationship with Terry Matthews in the tech field in their professional lives.
I was fwiw surprised that MCC did not a capital raising in the .20's not that long ago but admittedly due to some offline family stuff have not followed the newsflow/developments as I typically do.
I have been a shareholder FWIW in Magor since like two months after it hit the exchange-and have had dialogue with Pascoe several times as Mike is readily and easily available and always gets back to a query in a short period of time vs having to be hounded...and my association with Magor and M Pascoe goes back to just after it started trading under TSX MCC.
Some on stockhouse looking for the quick buck were talking about a very short trial period but in my opinion and experience GOC trials are not typically quick in duration-I would not be surprised if the Aerus Window trial given that its fully funded by the GOC-goes between a minimum of 90 days to a maximum of 180 to conclusion-but I have no direct knowledge to that effect and it is my guestimate from past investment experience when trials of product with a G.O. are involved.
SS
I never cared for Engelen's (I think was his name) stockhouse articles-Parry seemed to offer more detail-didn't care for Danny Deadlocks either...Vranic's writings from S.A are often not only better formatted
but provide more objective commentary and personal opinion/outlook.
SS
AyeYou...thanks for copy and pasting the Vranic Article.
Am only catching up with the news cycle now as had been
busy tending to a family illness.
I missed the news release on XwinSys-and the share purchase
news-and the Vranic article/commentary.
.58 per share fair value and we are trading at 1/3rd of
that currently-means the ROI upside is still there or a
an appx 200% return from here is realized.
If XwinSys does announce a Major Player as a partner
with it's most recent development out of the EUO R&D
que?
.58 would be the base IMO vs ceiling.
SS
This was great news in relation to Xwin Sys in the semi-c conductor sector- that I missed earlier in the week.
If anybody could link the Vranic article from Seeking Alpha-as I have not read it yet but I understand its pretty detailed-has commentary about Xwin Sys contained-and has a bullish outlook??-it would be appreciated.
Anybody taking a position as of recently in the mid teens? IMO looks like they could have made a pretty timely purchase as the positive momentum that is building looks like it has some decent traction.
Good week in upward movement overall and closed near the week high which for traders and longs- is bullish on the Technical Indicators if taken on its own.

Eurocontrol's XwinSys Announces Novel Solution for the Semiconductor Industry
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Feb 23, 2016) - Eurocontrol Technics Group Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EUO) ("Eurocontrol" or the "Company"), a Canadian public company specializing in the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative authentication, verification and certification technologies, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, XwinSys Technology Development Ltd. ("XwinSys"), has finalized the integration of its novel XRF technology, named NMT, in its state-of-the-art hybrid product line.
This technology is intended to serve the evolving metrology and inspection needs of the semiconductor industry that have evolved recently to keep pace with the advent of 3D (three dimensional) stacking structures for continued miniaturization of devices at an affordable cost. XwinSys was founded to satisfy a need to analyze solder bumps for the fledgling 3D IC (integrated circuit) market segment and thus gained critical insight into additional opportunities. The XwinSys NMT technology, acronym for Noise-reduced Multilayer Thin-film measurement and analysis, enhances traditional X-ray fluorescence (XRF) solutions and overcomes limitations of currently entrenched technologies for measuring thin and ultra-thin films. These thin films, which can be a single layer of atoms of a specific material, are a critical component in the construction of advanced semiconductor devices. The key attribute of the NMT technology is a dramatic improvement in sensitivity which is achieved by improving signal to background noise. Testing of the XwinSys NMT technology has demonstrated superior performance for a wide variety of semiconductor applications.
An abstract describing the XwinSys NMT technology will be published in the March edition of the Journal Solid State Technology ( www.electroiq.com).
Doron Reinis, Chief Operating Officer of Eurocontrol stated, "Our NMT technology is an industry innovation that is designed to be successfully utilized for a variety of in-line applications in the semiconductor and related industries. We are extremely pleased to announce the completion of full integration in our hybrid product line that combines this enhanced XRF with our 2D and 3D optical measurement techniques, and we wish to thank the Office of the Chief Scientist of Israel for its support in grants over the past two years, as well as the facilitation of important product testing by major semiconductor manufacturers and prospective customers."
Bruce Rowlands, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, added, "The rapid increase in interest in NMT from leading manufacturers in the global semiconductor industry is a clear indication to us that this ground-breaking technology could have a significant impact on the industry."
Agreed on the option point AyeYou...to many companies in my investment lifetime I have seen reprice options packages..when companies don't do so when they have the "option" to do so? (pardon the pun)
IMO you have to respect it as an investor. SS

For sure Shawshank the big players in the right company drive the share prices
But Euo also sold GFI cause they couldn't get the job done by themselves now they get a very small piece of the pie.
Will Euo go up in price sure I can see that
is Euo a bit item ticket going to the big leagues don't see that
what track record do insiders have another thing to look at
________________________________________________________________________
IMO "Going to the big leagues" dosen't matter RR. There is also an old saying that ..."if you shoot for the moon even if you fall short you land amongst the stars".
They were already able to secure a deal with the big leagues in privately held Swiss Company and one of the worlds major players in the certification sector in SICPA-that should speak volumes IMO about having bonafide big league interest in what their doing.
How it plays out? who knows but its better to have a SICPA recognizable brand player in your favor IMO... then not.
I believe holding EUO at this point for who knows maybe a $1.00 or even higher buyout price is worth the risk-and given its cash position from the sale of GFI to SICPA-$16million now in corporate treasury and thee $1.5million annual minimum backstopping the 5% royalty over 6yrs duration gives certainty in regards to sustainability of the enterprise while looking for as McWhirter commented on BNN last week a partner to go to market with for their next best of breed technology Xwin Sys.
They may also possibly acquire another company to add strength to their que for all we know.
The Midas Letter I think it was or maybe it was the Gold Report-can't remember and I do not always have the time to re-source everything and admittedly sometimes haste can make waste-removed their long term price projection on EUO only cuz they expected before the company hit $1.50 per share in value I think it was and stand to be corrected on that comment-it would be bought out.
If that happens its a ten bagger from here and it has the same effect on ROI as a $1.50 per share company going to $15.00 or a $15.00 per share going to $150 per share so the big picture here pretty clear-the model calls for partnering or licensing or a sale with royalty payments for acquiring and financing and bringing nouveaux tech applications thru to to the commercialization point.
And IMO when your a small cap company with possible world beating disruptive technology? that's the best model to utilize.
And FWIW Who on that type of ROI-a ten bagger or even a 5 bagger for that matter going forward- would be unhappy?
Some of us are sitting on a three bagger currently.
IMO some of the discontent expressed on various threads is from the
valuations being range bound since appx June till present and that happens in my experience on every thread at some point if a range bound period becomes protracted and is not unique to EUO.

In my investing experience RR-as an investor you actually want your story covered from time to time on BNN-and be it Eurocontrol or Company A-Z think its important the forum of visibility that BNN provides.
A company must fight for inflow of investor interest and capital and have a reason to invest and often that is found thru visibility otherwise if you look at it rationally how does a company investment possibility come to an investors mind in the first place?
I have also been a long time supporter and said so many times on other sites-that all publicly traded companies should as a best communication practices have a company blog to field questions from shareholders or clear up any miscommunication issues in a timely manner that arise between them and/or a company-its another form or forum of visibility albeit an inexpensive one and a good service to existing or contemplating investors.
I know Magor used to offer operate one-and personally believe all companeis should.
SS
I see some criticism regarding BNN. I myself prefer an underlying investment exec or analyst covering a story-to support the business case thru things such as a ROB TV venue opportunity so seeing McWhirter providing some going4wd commentary on BNN this past Monday was good IMO.
FWIW I don't think enough companies get their investment opportunity message out there less they stay active on the visibility front and McWhirter has a large position in EUO both in his managed funds AND from what I remember his personal holdings.
PR is a necessary part-front end visibility is never a bad thing IMO.
To many stocks with good stories can stay discounted without it.
SS
The valuations have showed alot of strength and resilience off of the december 2015 lows and decent daily volumes on average.
Indicating some are finding the story behind the name still compelling.
I believe Pascoe and Matthews understand the unmet sector need and how Aerus Windows/Aerus Cloud address it both on a cost effective and end user bridgeless interoperability basis or the GOC (governmnent of canada) would not be existing clients under contract nor involved in a pay for trial underway with Magor Corp.
With the change of government completed and the new cabinet already in place and a new 2016 budget year for the GOC?
IMO things look positive that under the Trudeau administration the Aerus Technology nay be enroute to become the defacto standard across all the various cabinets-be they health care or the military home land security/RCMP etc etc. interlinked video communication grids.
SS
AyeYou the bigger future pie given SICPA's location could well be entire European fuel marking adoption-it could happen that GFI/Petromark became thee " gold standard" in the fuel marking sector.
To that end this patent news from last year is important IMO going4wd.

Yeah sometimes Mr Market makes nonsense as in no sense verses commonsense as in common sense but efficient market theory as taught in established business courses in Ivy League schools-dictates that over time market inefficiencies be they over valuation or under valuations will correct themselves to represent the underlying value eventually.
Sometimes its the buzz more than the quality of a story in story driven stocks like small cap growth plays-that draws money flows into a story-totally unpredictable.
I don't follow GLH so not familiar with the story to comment.
I personally think the US markets and world markets are in lockdown mode
till some type of direction is known who the Republican and Democratic Presidential nominees will be and there is a lot of uncertainty involved should that circus act called Trump actually find direction from the big tent to the podium and be their nominee.
I think for me anyways on EUO-money already removed from the story in June last year and a decent position for me anyways of exposure left behind free and clear and all profit and in the black...there is no risk to holding the fort to see what transpires going forward.
My speakers on my Dell system have not functioned since early January and I have yet to replace them and the PC itself as in the tower I can't get any sound on and this thing is like just 2.5yrs old...so I missed the live telecast on BNN TV and caught just some of it on the Mrs's Ipad-so when that thing gets back to the house again tonite (the Ipad not the spouse LOL) will listen to the McWhirter piece on BNN from yesterday again.
Vranic's pending piece/write up typically is like 3 pages or more in depth detail so will be interesting his content going beneath the hood on things-I am sure there will a fair bit of discussion he provides and talking points on Xwin Sys.
SS
Yeah AyeYou I prefer this type of go4wd strategy for XwinSys-makes a lot of sense-business/economic and common sense- and probably why there has not been the amount of visibility I expected cuz if your talking to players in the space? Your gonna want to keep that stuff close to the vest for obvious reasons.
Could be a big deal announced or an outright purchase of the technology...in any event me thinks everything is on the up and up
and definetely looking up if McWhirter on the visibility end of things
is communicating the company is actively looking for a strategic fit with a major player.
Gotta fly...I haven't even looked to see what the final volume and closing price was yet!
SS
Can't read the crazy bid and ask readout on this site lol.
I think it closed at .20 and hit .15 as a low intraday?
Seems like a fair bit of consolidation at these levels
continues to take place everytime we hit them.
I am not expecting fwiw trial news till at the earliest
end of first calendar quarter but could be wrong.
Encouraging to see the amount of availability of shares
getting soaked up in the market place.
Was .015 bid to .02 ask in Dec 2015 a real steal from
all indications and I loaded up there in my trading account
and have sold half of the position on the way up to remove
my own capital from the equation.
The shares in my registered accounts however are just breaking even
at .18 per share by comparison.

Question to anybody on this board.
The next reporting quarter given the revenues are largely recurring could add up to another big sequential gain. does anybody know if the existing revenues to Eurocontrol from their prior contracts dating back to 2013 I think they were announced-remain with EUO? as ongoing revenue? or does the future revenues deriving from those past contracts that EUO signed prior to the sale to SICPA see SICPA now collect the revenues from those past long term contracts Eurocontrol secured prior to the SICPA agreement for purchase of GFI being ratified?
This to my recollection was IMO never made clear-and if it was if someone could link to the material would be appreciated.
My way of thinking and experience is that the transfer of assets and contracts go with the sale of the subsiduary to the purchasor no?
It would be a real coup de tat-and admittedly a real win IF Eurcontrol retains the revenue from their prior contracts to the sale of GFI to SICPA.
The positive offset is I guess SICPA winning a $50-$100million fuel tracking deal in 2016 and the royalty kicking in replacing current level of revenue reported.
I voted for the SICPA deal cuz we haven't seen much in contract wins lately-not since 2013 I believe without checking- and SICPA has the world wide established network and government connections in the certification sector already and that footprint being so much larger by comparison one would think yields bigger fruit over the 6yr cycle of the royalty payment thru larger fuel tracking opportunities.
I'm hoping Aya that we see some greater visibility on XwinSys going forward soon- as it is the go4wd technology of Eurocontrol's que and many hope- including myself-it will start producing revenues in the semi C space quickly.
SS
okay thanks. honestly forgot about the BOD resignations and appointement as one as C.O. officer. SS
RRed that is interesting but how do u know that 3 directors Zahavi, Gonen and Rose have resigned from EUO?
As I have not seen any public disclosure to that effect and if I missed it somewhere/somehow (which can happen) please provide.
McWhirter who is long on Eurocontrol and a large shareholder in his fund AND in has personal exposure to the stock-is on BNN coming up Monday the 8th of February I believe.
I have long wanted more visibility on XwinSys on a go4wd basis and more communication I would like as an investor since May 2015 as to when/what are the timelines for going live and are we still in the timelines for a early 2016 commercial release?-hopefully McWhirter can shed some light to that effect Monday nite or in the upcoming Vranic article from Seeking Alpha on EUO which I expect to see a February release to its paying users and it made available to non paying user sometime afterwards.
Vranic also disclosed in a short blurb that he had purchased shares.
I still believe holding EUO for a potential buyout in 2016-2017 on XwinSys alone has merit- as I believe if XwinSys can demonstrate traction OR be licensed outright by a major in the Semi Conductor sector-that the ROI could be substantial-however if I don't see the visibility being raised on XwinSys during the first calendar quarter of 2016 I will be
speculating that the commercial rollout timelines may be rolled back and have to re-evaluate my level of exposure remaining accordingly.
Right now I am content my own money was removed long ago in June 2015 when I sold some of the position on the double to leave behind a position free and clear with my own principal removed which is the only prudent way to invest in the small cap spec space.
EUO is trading below cash value and no value for the que being demonstrated at all-and the discount at .135 I think is to steep given the $16million cash from the GFI sale to SICPA...and that discount being as steep as it is could be related to many things but I believe can be also attributable to investor/company visibility-not just overall small cap negative market sentiment- but this thing has shown it can reverse a downward trend very quickly in the past and often moving very quickly to the upside without warning.
McWhirter should he talk about Eurocontrol on Monday nite as one of his past picks and favorite picks-as you never know what company's a talking head will elaborate on- and get into some detail about XwinSys and timelines involved thereof for commercially being available? will be some timely visibility IMO right now needed.

FWIW the decline in the share price for myself was not unexpected.
In the absence of continual news flow in a news driven story U can expect
some ebb and flow in the bid and ask...most small cap stocks ARE news driven so to expect Magor Corps valuations to follow a different pattern would not have been reasonable.
I have seen some investors calling for X amount of revenue in 2016.
If Mike Pascoe can generate $5million in revenue and $3.5 or more of that recurring as the net result of 2016's operations I personally will call it a rip roaring year of success as I would rather see a company under promise and over deliver than in my own investment experience over promise and under deliver.
The parties behind Magor Corps creation-financing and technology development of both Aerus Windows and Aerus Cloud are the best of the best
in the tech sector in both Pascoe CEO and Matthews Chairman of the MCC Board.
I am projecting the paid for GOC trial underway will conclude sometime in first calendar quarter of 2016 tho I cannot confirm that to be the case-and results after review by the company and its client-the GOC made public afterwards in the form of a new contract win announcement.
How big in scope and scale?
We will have2wait and see.
SS
RR I checked the SI thread and posted on the Eurocontrol board over there and was not to appreciative of your characterization of yours truly-totally unexpecte and unwarranted. Whats up with that?
I hope to be able to contribute to the discussion at IH on Magor time willing-tho this type of posting format is time consuming and takes some getting used to.
