Yes, Pat, who knows when? But, I am fairly confident it was not at all long before the PR.

The fact that there are sales (online sales no less!!)is what is key here. Smarthome shoppers have demonstrated a desire for the Simply Comfort products. Plain and simple! Will other retailers recognize this and once they have the products will they too move the products so fast? I will bank on that simple assumption at this point.
U

PP, you and others here know how I feel about this company. I continue to accumulate. If it goes into the teens, well, great. If it goes up, even better. I accumulate either way.
U

Got the rest of my order filled at $0.022.

Look, quit picking apart the exact numbers. Reorders are good not bad.
U

flptrnkng, What's going on? Are you upset? PM me if you want.
U

Good Morning everyone. Actually, it is still Sunday night but, I'm ready for Monday!!!
U

When did the logo change? Duh, where have I been?
U

SL, Good analysis. You are right. Attracting investors should be, by all means available, the goal. It seems that most posters here are old regulars and, as you say, only use the IBOX occasionally. Let's attract some new blood. A simple IBOX with a good hook would be useful. No disrespect at all meant to Lucy's hard work but, positive feedback never hurts.
U

Lucky me. Got a partial fill of 10k at 0.022!

Good morning to all.

Thaks. I guess the question is when will "Lithium to Go" be safe to announce? Is it protected as soon as the application for TM is received? I ask in the context that the announcement of the new device is promised to come this month.

U

26 days left in the quarter. At least two major announcements promised in the next 26 days. allllll abooooaaaarrrrddddd!
U

flptrnkng, Excellent DD. You seem to be quite adept at CHDO DD. Are you sure you don't own shares?

About the device, could it be an on-the-fly / on-the-go backup power source for laptops and other devices? This would be awesome. Question though, Howard says that the announcement of the device will be this month, yet CHDT Corp needs to have everthing covered (TM, Patent?, etc.) before revealing the secret to the world. The TM application is only for the name, correct? What can you say about all this and about the timing?
U

We're sitting on a gold mine about to strike it rich and this board is dead! Other stocks on IHUB have 10 times the posting activity of CHDO. Maybe it's a good sign because there is nothing to say because this is a given success? No controversy? no accusations of scam? Just sitting on shares and waiting? I don't know. Just seems a shame. Got to spread the word!v Just my 2 cents.
U

Not that I am aware of.

Filled with passion, he has an incredible drive to win and a competitive spirit. He’s admired for his great warmth, strong work ethic, and the way in which he presents himself. That’s why he has the many loyal fans. Howard Ullman!

I may be one of his (and Stewart's and Reid's) biggest fans!

DJ Kennington - "Filled with a lifelong passion for the sport, he has an incredible drive to win and a competitive spirit. Off the track, he’s admired for his great warmth, strong work ethic, and the way in which he presents himself as a positive role model. That’s why he has the many loyal fans."

I posted this previously and here it is again! Worth repeating. Buy the products - it will be money in your pocket in the end!

Let's all support our company and purchase the products that are on the shelves now. I just ordered a couple of Memory Foam Back Massagers from smarthome.com. I am buying Capstone products because I can use them and because I want to support my investment. I want to share with my friends too. The purchase price of these items is a mere pittance compared to the amount of money some of us have invested.

Buy two book lights and give one to a friend. Tell your friend about your investment and tell them about your confidence in your investment. Tell them about STP tools and just how cool that's going to be. Tell them to watch for DJ on the Nationwide tour.

I've generated a lot of conversation by posting pictures of the #81 STP car on my bullitin board at work. I don't try to sell an investment pitch - let it sell itself!

Buy a Memory Foam Back Massager and talk it up at work. Buy another and and give one to a friend.

You get the idea - support your company and spread the word!
U

Wow! That is awesome. Nicely done too. I wonder what the distribution of that email is - how many recipients (i.e. repeat customers)?

I don't know if the existing Simply Comfort line is ever going to be really huge but, the products are already moving. Good start! Add it all up, and CHDT revenues will undoubtedly accelerate throughout the year.

"In common speech, the term acceleration is only used for an increase in speed". Maybe even, exponential in time.

U

Yes, I remember. Howard has also said that "there is nothing else like it on the market"

You guys are sick! LOL

Not really humerous. No, not at all.

We saw this at the office. I think it's going to be a "must-have" amongst race fan tailgaters.
U

Lucy,

The average recession is not long lived. Something like 10 months or so. Also, is it logical to assume that tools will still sell because more people will be doing their own repair work rather than hiring it out?

To keep it in perspective, right now I'm just hoping for sales. Any sales period! Would I even know the difference between what is and what might have been? Will there be any difference?
U

Not to put the cart before the horse but, I saw an add during NASCAR yesterday. It was Richard Petty endorsing Marathon gasoline with STP additive. I wonder if maybe, just maybe some day, Richard Petty endorsing STP tools. Maybe?
U

Or better yet, the opening drive for the touchdown.

Good morning all! Here's to hoping for the opening kickoff. ("soon")
U

Now less than 1 full month till end of a momentous Q1-08. If targets are met as stated, there will be a lot of big news shortly forthcoming. Stay tuned.

"In 2007 Capstone also signed, developed, launched, and took orders for a line of STP® branded power tools and automotive accessories with orders starting to ship in the first quarter of 2008. Capstone also recently launched Simply Comfort, Memory Foam Massagers and MP3 Stereo Speaker Comfort Products and intends to announce a new computer peripheral device in the first quarter of 2008.

U

SL, I agree it would be much better to have the alternate power supplies. Customer feedback on such specifics will be well received by Capstone, I'm sure.
U

rvd, it is 4 AA batteries. We'll see how long.

SL, on the way home from a late night at the office, I called my wife to see if she needed anything from town and she told me that a package from smarthome had arrived today.

I ordered the "Memory Foam Back Support Massage Cushion"
after hours on Monday evening and it arrived today! Hopefully that adequately answers your question - ("Another question occurs; let us know how long it takes to receive the product.")

I picked up the box as soon as I got in the door and my first impression of the packaging was very positive. It actually struck me and impressed me. The packing box was very well secured with custom tape that was prominately printed with "SMARTHOME" at regularly spaced intervals and well centered on the tape. Obviously not a cheap hack job. The tape was perfectly centered on the seams and in addition was applied crossways. An inspector's sticker was carefully placed on the bottom. I don't want to sound weird here but, I think it is important, the shipping box was a "cut above" what we commonly see from the internet orders, and we do a lot of internet buying. I get the distinct impression (I know ,little to go on) that smarthome.com is quality.

Ok, so now I open the box and I am equally impressed by the Simply Comfort packaging. Well labeled. Well worded, nice pictures and graphics. Box folds, seams, and closing tabs are well done ,etc. The Simply Comfort box is first rate.

Opening the box, te first thing that falls out is a package of four AA batteries. So we can say "batteries included". Pretty cool! The box says "Batteries Not Included" but ,they are. The 4 AA batteries are Sunpadow brand from China. Cursory research suggests that these are good quality alkalaine batteries with self proclaimed "compelling power". Test underway.

Ok, now the test of the actual product. Well, I can't get my wife to part with it! Great testimonial - Enough said? What shetells her friends will tell the tale.

Although the product seems of high quality and seems effective (see previous paragraph) I'm more impressed with the packaging. I was immediately reminded of Reid Goldstein's seeming obsession with packaging. Man, I just think there is a lot to this! I know you'l all be impressed with the STP packaging as was I (and of course, what's inside).

Now, can I honestly recommend this unit to a friend? Well, maybe I would have a hard time gettin' giddy about it but, it is a nice unit. Undoubtedly best suited to car, plane, or desk. At home or office you may want the power of 110V.

Probably most suited to plane - most excellent for anxious flyers. Maybe a great niche? Who knows?

Well, I hope this helps. Let me know if you have questions.
U

"Will this strategy prove of any value, we'll see." To answer your question, I don't know what possible advantage. See first sentence, "Will this strategy prove of any value, we'll see."
U

I picked up more at 0.0235 today. My wife and I are in it big now. If we drift further down, we'll pick up more. I will very much like to hold our current position and, like all of you, begin to see some serious tangible news.

IMO, through these low substance PRs, Howard is trying, in his own "Howard" way, to set the table for the upcoming "banquet" of news. Will this strategy prove of any value, we'll see.
U

SL,

I have some Simply Comfort products coming and I let all know of the quality. What I saw of the quality of products during my visit to the home office is pretty high. The tools and booklights seem to be of pretty high quality. My guess is that Simply Comfort is higher quality than the competitor products that you mentioned. We'll see.
U

PP, Not new but worth repeating - Regarding the STP Tool license, Clorox reviews, and makes recommendations on, every product and demands equal or better quality than what’s on the market in the same price slot. I mean, this right here is huge! Clorox is not settling for second rate!

I was told that many of the STP items went back and forth a number of times during the approval process. It appears that the Clorox people are intimately involved. Imagine the amount of time even this simple step must take.

I know this information doesn't substitute for reports of tools on shelves and sales. The fact that Clorox is so close to the process is another reason for my confidence.
U

elpaff, re-read post 42656 and some of the following posts by me. Only Howard can be explicitly specific when the time comes.

It may be tough for you but, I strongly encourage investors to make the trip to see the boys at Deerfield Beech. That is about as specific as I can be.
U

Patience for the investor is easy to have. Tolerance, staying power, and fortitude. No such description for the flipper.
U

Think INVESTMENT. For what it's worth, I can tell you is that I am extremely confident. I see a little corner of a bigger and more complex picture unfolding. I do, like many of you, want the flywheel to start spinning faster. Have patience.

At the Camping World 300 they had some real problems in the pit that put him 3 laps down. He reportedly was running qualifying speeds near the end of the race.

I'm not sure of details from the California Stater Bros. 300 but, I think he started 31st and finished 26th. He's keeping the car in one piece and making a decent show of it so far.

I'm becoming a NASCAR fan.
