Ward, today's PR was excellent to see---improving the CT to solar-power usage will open up the floodgates of sales channels. (No more ideas and talk----only successful usage, tests, and sales). Just another way to stay ahead of competition.
Thanks to you, Spence, RCP, Cap'n, and emilson for doing a great job on the board. I don't "live" on here as much as I used to due to time constraints but love to see fellow HISC'ers keeping up the faith!
Have a great evening.
Wow....this looks like the beginning of the turn-around in PPS, with the turn of the company a few months prior. Solid bottom base now built, IMO.
If we can stay above the 50 day MA (let's not jinx it) and not print any more shares, we could move up a good deal further, IMO.
Happy day to all of you longs, especially to us long-timers.
Spence....Fred and Co. are profitable on the Gross but not on the net...they have to get the net side fixed so we do not have to increase the O/S anymore.
5 Billion+ O/S? Wow....seems like yesterday it was 300 Million.
We will have a very long road ahead everyone.
Drone---We can still make money with this company--It is just a fact that it will take a whole lot longer than we expected.
IMO no one will take this company seriously until 1) sales and earnings are posted regularly and growing every quarter, 2) a reverse split happens after #1 to where no more capital is needed to be raised through S/H dilution [mgmt must be 100% committed to no more dilution period], and 3) get listed on at least the ASE, or Nasdaq small-cap. No real money will even bother with OTC:BB or pinks.
Then we have a fresh slate to work with and allow money managers [big money] to get involved where the share price can rise from say a few dollars to tens of dollars---because if not, market cap restraints [huge O/S] will keep us at no more than .02. Even if you have fewer shares after the R/S, you still have a potentially greater upside.
I am down over $18K personally on HISC and I wish I had that money to buy some calls right now on much more quality companies. But I learned a lot in the meantime and it has been part of my tuition.
And I plan to be here for a long time.
Best of luck to all longs.
Surfer----great to see you are still on board. Shoot me a line sometime.
Best of luck to all longs
who...Fred's letter looks very open and honest about the tough past year we have had. With BA and Frank officially gone, now we can get down to bigger things at hand.
IMO he was right about the "worst of the storm" is over now though.....
might take many more months for sales and earnings growth, but our investment stakes should go up from here
Long and Strong for 20 months now
Ward---That monkey is hilarious. Maybe we'll be cheezin' like that with future HISC earnings?
Take care
Skier, Surfer, and Co---thanks for the PM. I apologize for not replying. I was out of town in Memphis the last few days and not on the HISC board during the few days before. Not much to add to the PM...hit the nail on the head...
Surfer, as always, great DD....check your email.
As long as HISC doesn't go bankrupt, I think our investment here should grow back. :)
Take care everyone
Ward, thanks for the PM. In regards to HISS, things are quiet right now so not much to really discuss. I hope that you are doing well.
Still Long and Strong
Spence...Wow awesome job on the youtube. Who knows how much exposure your action might get---if we have significant gains this year you might be up for Shareholder of the year!
If I [ever] make some cash on this company---I'll have to send you a celebratory gift.
Thanks for your optimism---even when times get tough. Great to hear from you...
Take care
Let's not jinx it--LOL--my hopes have been up for 18 months now!!!!!
Good luck to all
I would be a door-to-door CT salesman if I knew I could help sales and thus help our PPS....
I think if our board got together and pushed the product---we could do more than the $400K for the 9 months results of 2006.
Just tired of being the fat dude in Full Metal Jacket and getting whacked every day....same story...oh well...feel better now
Fred will get us fixed
Drone---Hope all is well for you and your family in CA. You are dead on with your post.
I just wanted to give some hope that those figures are a good base for us (given no more shares printed).
Take care bro
Jersey, you got anything for us on the HISC radar these days? Thanks bro for all of your help in the past.
Take care
Sadly, we are trading around the company's fair market value. Using a simple 4-5X Revenue Model for a Market Cap:
403,000 (in total yearly revenues) X 4= 1,612,000 MC; or X 5= 2,015,000 MC
divided by 2+Billion share OS = .000806 or .001
To get to a dime would require about $40 million in revs at current OS (which we are not even remotely close to) In other words, #1 sell a ridiculous amount of CT's, not these onezy/twozy orders, or #2 drop shares huge (which can't be done without cash from #1).
I am a devout long but I am just presenting the truth: The last 6 months have been about cleaning up Frank/BA's mess. Fred had to cut expenses to curb the printing of shares, which I believe they have done. However, I cannot get over how Frank "convienently overestimated" market demand for the CT's by tens of thousands of units. I never would have predicted O/S quintupling in 18 months since I have been in.
I believe in the possibilities and the markets for the CT and I believe in this mgmt. However, sales are not always given to the "best" product, sometimes, the best "marketed" product and they must dramatically improve on closing some bigger contracts or the PPS will not increase much from here. Is Volvo or some other auto manufacturer on board for next year? IF, and I mean a BIG IF, they get on---this board will be a fun,wild place....
I really think that as far as fundamental elements of the company go, we have hit a rock bottom as a company and that things will improve from here. Technicals on PPS I will not predict, but .001 should be a decent base.
All IMO.
Best of luck to all---
Long and Strong
Any speculation as to where we may be at this time next year? It's always fun to guess...
I think around .03===$10 million in total revs (a nice automotive contract included) would put market cap around 50 million /(divided by) 2 billion shares puts PPS around .025. I assume OS should not increase but most likely decrease so we could be at .03 or even higher---Conservative estimate, though. If they blow out the revs and drop a ton of shares, we could run big.
All IMO of course
Long and Strong
Spence, IMO Fred has officially turned off the share printing machine and we are now able to "make ends meet" concerning expenses---no more printing shares to pay bills. Looking at a 2 year chart of On Balance Volume, it looks like they began printing shares around Nov. 05 to Apr. 06(where people got in due to merger/etc.) and then they printed more slowly until October, where things died quickly.
The conclusion of Frank and BA's dumping of millions of shares pushed this way below where it should have been valued and this is getting us back to a somewhat more proper level.
Earlier you were right--get past .0035 (50 EMA) and then it is smooth sailing to the 200 at >.02 [a really great move back]. OBV is moving back up quickly and I don't see the PPS stopping anytime soon at this level of good accumulation. all IMO
If this keeps up, christmas could be a great present to many of us long-timers here on the ihub board...
Take care
Long and Strong
Spence...any man that has Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson/Wedding Crashers on his signature is a good man. "stage 5 clinger"
You are a good man and you will remain in our thoughts and prayers.
HISC will prove the wild ride worthwhile one day---our patience will pay off. Have a good week.
Long and Strong
Spence...excellent post. We longs have not gone anywhere. You and RCP do an excellent job for the board---do not forget it!
I have added more shares in the past few weeks and I have been frustrated over the past year of progress and seeing where we might could have been.
I, for one, just check the PR's, and glance over the headlines of the board's posts. I don't post as much b/c frankly there isn't much to say. Nothing much new since June has really taken place. HISC down another 10% like everyday. It's like a football penalty---half the distance to the goal--enough of those and pretty much you can't go much further down, I guess---unless they close up shop (HOPE NOT).
Fred is cleaning up the mess that Frank and BA left behind. Right now they are just trying to survive the massing dumping of shares---IMO They are doing a good job of turning things around---we got confused b/c Frank made everyone think they were way further along than they really were. They still are only 2 years old and if they can get an automobile manufacturer---things will turn around.
Most everyone will agree the CT is awesome and that it will sell---just takes time. Just need to up the sales and drop the cost of goods sold.
I'll be here for the ride---to the moon or on the Titanic. Either way, I'm in.
Best of luck to all of you this holiday season. No matter your porfolio performance, give thanks that you had extra cash to invest.
Long and Strong
Who...my contest guess is 11/17
Great news about BA being gone---I like what Fred is doing---just a matter of sales and time now boys and girls (basically we wait until next year)
Oh Capt, My Capt---I did my job today by adding another 750K. Yeah, I got in at .027 (the first time, pre .145). It's great gaining bags, holding them sucks though.
All in due time, here---we'll be fine.
Take Care.
Question: With the TV commercial for Lexus' new GPS system and "automated parking" function, could the CT be programmed for this as well?
You're probably right...Bid now at .0029. But if what jersey states is true about an automobile manufacturer, these pps would be a joke IMO.
Good luck to you
I just saw the ask at .0031, then it quickly moved back up to .0033 (where it was prior). I really don't think PPS will fall too much further (looking at last year's time at sub-penny)----It's like a penalty in football "Half the distance to the goal" After a while, it can't go that much further--IMHO, I doubt we break .001.
I transferred more $$ to buy more shares when it clears through Ameritrade, it stinks it is after the dividend, but I'm not in HISC for Telecents, etc. LOL I'm in at .045 and this is now the time to add more----can triple my shares for 1/10 the cost to bring me down to .021.
Have faith people, the CT will sell and we will be angry we didn't "load the boat", while she was taking on some water
Long and Strong
RCP, check your GSN email----let me know if it didn't go through.
TIA
RCP...doing well thanks. You and spence are doing a great job of "babysitting the kids"! LOL How is life for you in Texas---shoot me a PM if you like.
Long and Strong with ya good buddy.
Can we hire a PI to check and make sure they show up at the office on Monday morning? LOL---just wanting to make some humor---we deserve it.
As long as they don't file for bankruptcy, we should be okay IMO.
Also---what about the Army testing the CT in Sept---any new rumors?
Who...yes we have heard this before. Honestly though, I am only concentrated on HISS selling the CT's and growing the business---I have been numb about PPS now for a long time.
Yes I have been in since June '05 and started buying at .027. I held through .14 and still holding---because I believe this product WILL SELL.
Fred, Brian, Ian, Chris and Co. are sharp guys and I really believe that they are working for increased shareholder value---but for the long term, not tomorrow or next quarter even. Can I prove that? No. Is this the route that I would have chosen for HISS to proceed? No. But do we still have the product? Yes.
IHMO they will clean up the O/S after the dividend (retarded by the way)---they are definitely aware that their company is not being viewed favorably by the markets. I.E. Remember May '05? They retired and bought back a bunch of shares and then dropped Pro-Sec on us. PPS ran----I was new to pinkies so I didn't know the PR game at the time, thus I held for the long term.
IMO I really could see a big contract coming after they drop a huge retirement of shares.
I am prepared to lose it all---do I want to?, heck no---I just believe that the company will sell and succeed and I will be along for the ride---good or bad.
OT: RCP...thanks for the PM the other day...sorry about not responding before, been very busy. I think I had trouble with your email address listed on IHUB in the past....(BTW, I think you mixed me up with someone else in the PM b/c I'm not married)
All is well here---just waiting like everyone else for HISC to retire some shares.
IMHO we will be fine here with HISC in a few more months---this is probably a good time to add.
Good luck longs
OT: RCP...well, your signature wins! How have you been? (shoot me a PM).
Good luck longs.
Big ups to Fred for finally number-dropping in the headlines---500...awesome.
Have a great day everyone.
OT: RCP, I appreciate the shout-out. All is well. PM me your email (I don't know if the one in the past worked too well) so we can catch up.
Thank you for the awesome job that you and spence do here informing, gathering info about, and discussing HISS---especially a lot of time and effort for no compensation (as well as way too many others here to mention). Hopefully our HISS holdings will well reward us all for learning about this company.
Been long since June '05. Not going anywhere.
Jersey, thanks for the great info. It seems almost backwards that HISS would gain an ownership % of a company with 5/6 mil of earnings---many multiples of our own current revenue stream (that, of course, we currently know of).
I still believe in this company and the product...but everyone's patience is running thin
Minddoc....nice article. I guess we underestimate the possibilities the CT really does have if we could land an automotive manufacturer, i.e. Volvo.
With those type of sales, we would all be rolling here.....
Happy...great catch.
Have a good day all.
Wayne...gotcha bro. Actually I am a little curious as to what you find out.
Have a good week!
Good luck to all of the longs
Wayne---the (e) behind EVSY is basically a warning from the SEC that they are late in filing their quarterly financials.
They need to file ASAP so HISS can get the show on the road...
Also, does this mean that production is now gettting ramped up to the point for the big launch?
IMO...this is a huge credibility boost for HISS and the CT with Sprint/Nextel's seal of approval.
Web traffic and sales should increase from this.
Jersey---great call bro.
