Good points!! em.
It's a good possibility. Black is very strategic in his PR's, as you have pointed out here on the board many times.
lol...it only stinks of you sold off already. :)
Oh well, better luck next time.
How do you know that this PR won't do exactly that...open up the bidding for HNSS??? The suggested sale pps of .01 could go much higher after today's press if some interested parties take notice that HNSS is up for sale.
Sure you can still buy some shares but my understanding is that Ticker is preparing their Prospectus and audited financials to move up to the next tier.
That's why I mentioned that Ticker is stalled...or much of the buying/trading has slowed down until this takes place.
Hopefully we'll get an update very soon about Ticker on several areas of progress.
Tickercom stock has been stalled while they get their Prospectus and audited financials completed to continue trading on the Frankfurt exchange.
Once that's done...in a matter of weeks, (give or take) normal trading will resume.
In the meantime, the company has by no means stalled, but is moving ahead making sales with their signs and other products, as usual.
Hmmmm....this is what the website shows:
I think that this is something you sign up for in addition to your regular trading account. It's fairly new.

Tickercom sets pace for millions of eyes
Canucks are just the ticker for Langford outfit
By Andrew A. Duffy, Times Colonist June 4, 2011 2:08 AM
More than six million Canadians could watch the Vancouver Canucks play the Boston Bruins in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup final on Hockey Night in Canada, starting at 5 p.m. And many of those eyes will also catch a glimpse of a Langford company's handiwork.
The Tickercom Group will be on show when the Hockey Night in Canada broadcast throws to its Chevrolet iDesk pre-game, post-game and in-between periods.
The company designed and provides running content for the iDesk's colour sports ticker that streams across a curved LED (light emitting diode) display at the back of the set.
"That's a lot of eyeballs," said Tickercom co-founder David Frederickson, noting in Canada it's as high-exposure as anyone is likely to get.
"We have [a ticker] on CNN but, as a Canadian, it doesn't get much better than Hockey Night in Canada, it would be like Monday Night Football in the U.S."
The ticker was installed just before the playoffs and was made to the exacting requirements of the curved set. Tickercom spokeswoman Heather Kohler said it had to be done quickly and in concert with the CBC's set and graphic designers.
As for the content, staff put together streams of information such as scores, scorers, injury updates and roster moves - and send it to the sign.
"That's what makes us unique," said Kohler. "We are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
Kohler said clients, such as CBC, CNN, sports bars and restaurants, can have feeds custom designed for their needs or may have other feeds they subscribe to streamed through the LED signs.
"We also have software, a content engine that drives any kind of messaging they want and can be sent to the signs from any wireless device, a phone, computer, anything," she said.
The company, which started 14 years ago in Winnipeg and moved to the Island six years ago, is split into three divisions - lottery, gaming and the digital signs which are manufactured in China and shipped to Tickercom's warehouse in Las Vegas for testing.
There are more than 10,000 Tickercom signs streaming information around the world.
The company grew from a hole in the market as brothers Ron and David Frederickson, who had been planning to open a sports bar in Winnipeg complete with a sports ticker, couldn't find anyone to sell them the kind of sign and ticker feed they wanted.
"We tried to buy the signs but there weren't any," David recalled.
"So instead of the bar, we poured our heart and soul into this."

Funny thing is more US companies are moving toward the Frankfurt Exchange. I guess German shareholders tend to hold their shares for longer because of the tax benefits.
I know that Interactive Brokers will trade on the Frankfurt Exchange. I'm surprised that TDAmeritrade doesn't as their Canadian counterpart TDWaterhouse does trade on the Frankfurt and other European Exchanges.
Absolutely old_schooler. New rules have come into play for stocks on the Frankfurt exchange.
As you already know, each tier on the Frankfurt, has certain compliance rules for the company to adhere to.
I believe Ticker is ready to move up to the next tier on the Frankfurt Exchange which will require audited financials. I believe Ticker is already working on this and a prospectus.
Volume will pick up in the coming weeks. And you're right the pps is a bargain right now.
Ticker has been working hard this year on increasing sales around the world. So I'm hoping/expecting to hear from them via PR's in the coming weeks and months.
I've spent time visiting Ticker Communications head office on several occasions and try to keep in regular contact with the President Dave Frederickson.
These guys have been very hard at work increasing shareholder value here and imo, we're about to see the fruits of their labour.
Always good to see you MC!!
Like the cats, too.
On my trading account I had to upgrade to the European markets to get the Frankfurt Exchange.
That's why each person should do their own Due Diligence and not simply rely oh a message board to buy a stock.
Investors who actually make the effort can find the information they need to make that buying decision.
Anyone who made the effort here, clearly knows that Ticker is a legit company.
I don't think MC was using the term that literally. More of a loose interpretation and along the lines that it will recover in a big way from this artificial low.
Ticker will recover nicely. The company is strong with more going for it than people can imagine.
T4R is working on audited financials right now.
And yes, we are looking for a dead cat bounce here.
So good to see you Much :O)
Yes we need some volume and T4R will come back to life easily.
All the answers to your questions have been answered and posted on this board already. Feel free to read up on them at your leisure.
Any serious investor would have already found answers to those 'questions' rather than posting it on a message board.
Well said Old_Schooler
The Frankfurt Exchange is similar to the OTB in that it has tiers. For Ticker to get on the next tier they need to provide audited financials. As I said that takes time and money...and is in the works.

lol you called it old_schooler. Couldn't be more obvious.
No one here is suggesting you invest in any company simply based off information from an Internet forum. That would be silly.
Good close at .08 and 22,000 shares on the Frankfurt Exchange!!
http://www.boerse-frankfurt.de/EN/index.aspx?pageID=35&ISIN=CA88634C1023
lol, that didn't take long.
Audited financals will be available around the 3rd Q. As you know this takes time and money to accomplish.
As far as I know, actual shareholders have the information they need to understand where this company is at.
GM Old Schooler!
Great to see a bit of life back in this pps.
Should be more good news coming soon here too.
Looks like the pps is sitting still while these shorters are still trying to cover. Shorting was a big mistake on this stock. Never had the volume for it.
ilumini, I did a search on West House Consulting and it appears they are on Linked In.

Anyone who was scammed might be able to find a way to hold them accountable. At least there are names here to go after each of them.
IMO, they look like a bunch of Trust Fund wanna be's.
They are not affiliated with Ticker Com in any way shape or form.
Message from the President
May 18, 2011
Dear Tickercom Shareholders,
Today is a significant milestone in the history of the company, as our shares are now officially trading in the public market. After many years of keeping up with ever-changing technologies, the company has developed a solid business model with new, exciting indoor/outdoor LED sign products and a North and South American gaming equipment Distribution Agreement.
The Company is unique in its ability to deliver live content to our technically advanced LED signs. Our signs – and content – are seen each night on CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada, CNN Studios and WPNX in Phoenix, Arizona. With our proprietary Tickercom AdvantageÒ Software, integrated solutions for server-based content streaming, Tickercom has developed a versatile and agile application, capable of providing full color, crisp graphics, and up-to-the-second content. Our clients are able to instantly insert their own custom messages integrated with LIVE data from any web-enabled device such as a laptop, iPhone, or Blackberry, from any location in the world. Further to this, Tickercom has created Tickertweets: clients insert live Twitter content into a digital feed, and customers can tweet to their LED sign and follow other users and trending topics.
The Tickercom website keeps customers, investors and the media informed with new content added weekly. New products, the company newsletter, and media releases will continue to be posted, and your comments are always welcome.
For the past several weeks, Tickercom has been presenting our products and services to clients from many different industries. From the television news broadcasters mentioned above, to sign installation companies, bars, hotels, restaurants and three international gaming shows, Tickercom is producing results.
As new contracts are announced, all Tickercom shareholders will recognize our achievements and begin to understand the underlying value of the company moving forward.
This brings us to address an unusual, if not illegal, situation with respect to the trading of our now free-trading stock on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The company and its shareholders are innocent victims of a scam that was conceived and carried out by some unknown individuals who may be based anywhere in the world. These individuals were telemarketing our company to private investors with invented stories, interviews with fictitious people, news about fake take-overs, etc. They lied to innocent victims to solicit money, some of whom believed this fraudulent pitch and sent money directly to these perpetrators, never receiving a share certificate and losing their money. These same perpetrators have now caused us to be victims of their manipulation of our share value.
The company is now much undervalued and the long-term future of Tickercom has never been more positive. Everyone here is working very hard to continue building shareholder value. Of course, we will do all we can to reassure the world of our legitimacy, although it is unlikely any of the criminals will be found.
It is important to remember that we still have the same company, with fifteen years of integrity, and we are moving on and moving forward. When you are watching Hockey Night in Canada during the road to the Stanley Cup, you are watching a Tickercom sign and reading our content broadcast from the Tickercom newsroom in Langford BC.
Through Tickerline, the newsletter for Tickercom shareholders, we will keep you up to date with our progress.
Yours truly,
Dave Frederickson
President, Tickercom
PS: All shareholders who have not received their share certificate by Registered Mail must contact Cheryl@tickercom.com with your updated address information.
TICKERTWEETS DEBUT AT ISA 2011
Victoria, BC – 13 May 2011
Tickercom Digital, a division of Ticker Communications Inc. (DAX:T4R), Victoria, BC, will debut its latest innovation on May 21, 2011 at the 2011 National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago: Tickertweets.
Following successful beta testing and soft premiere at ISA 2011, Tickercom Digital will launch Tickertweets, a new level of user interaction based on a server platform. Using Tickertweets, clients insert live Twitter content into a digital feed. Customers can tweet to their LED sign and follow other users and trending topics.
Ron Frederickson, Vice President of Product Development, says: “ Tickertweets stole the show at ISA in Las Vegas. Visitors to our booth were able to instantly tweet from their mobile devices to our LED display. We believe that Tickertweeting offers our customers the ability to consistently engage their clients in a social media framework, while maintaining their own brand messaging. The possibilities are endless: imagine following Sidney Crosby tweets in real time while watching an NHL game in a favorite sports bar.”
Tickercom Digital expects Tickertweets to enhance the company’s product offering, already augmented by Tickercom Advantage® software and QS-Tech hardware.

Ticker has their lawyers working on this. So called companies like Westhouse should be shut down and made to pay.
Ticker is a legit company with real products and revenue. They'll be making a statement soon about this Westhouse sham group.
Absolutely right Grand Moff! Ticker is on top of this and we'll hear from them very soon.
Thanks, for the heads up.
Ticker has checked with another group of recent T4R stock purchasers and they've not sold either. This is getting narrowed down quickly. Wouldn't want to be the one holding the hot potato here in the end.
Point is that there are very few shares available to trade. So few that Ticker Management has already begun the process of getting the names behind the last few weeks of trading.
Buyers and sellers of this stock are being narrowed down as we type. Not one of the original share holders has sold a single share.
So it'll be quite simple to find the culprits here and inform the authorities. Markus Hindrick will also be held accountable for his libelous statements in that hack job of a report he did.
Well, if someone or some group shorted this down from 1.37 to .05 for even a 100,000 shares, they made some serious cash. It's a profit of $132,000.
Thing is there are very very few shares on the market or in the float here and they could also be held accountable for naked shorting once this is investigated by the authorities.
It'll be easy to trace all of the transactions to date.
