Louie,
Question for today is, has Ron still got his bike and did it come out today?
GLL
Hi Isaiah,
Nice to hear from you Sir. It wil be late November for me if I choose to re-invest, but you know what Isaiah, historically TKO never used to announce news on a Friday nor a Monday, I wonder if that has changed now, as they have announced before on Fridays and Mondays, so maybe that Labor Day week run I mentioned about for you guys will happen and you`ll end off this week nicely.
Nice to see a few strong days from TKO in an awkward market.
I still feel they will do their $25 million, many don`t I know, but I just have an inkling!!
Wonder if MLK has now gone long, I believe he meant $1.20 up on the PPS from when he posted that message and appears he might be right by October!!

Sonny,
If I come back it won`t be until mid/late Nov 07 once the dust settles on the Q3 e.t.c. but nice to hear from you too.
Making money elsewhere quite nicely even in the turmoil of the current markets.
Have a great Labor Day!!
GLL

You too have a great weekend Ouch and hopefully new beginnings for a Labor Day week rally for you guys next week, still not invested in TKO so won`t comment.
I was surprised that someone else on this board was also in SUF, been having a nice run this last few weeks, almost a double as of today from a few weeks back!!
Be good!!
GLL
go_tko,
A very true and unbiased post. It will fall on deaf ears with MLK as we all know.
Thank you for taking the time to write that post, I`m sure it will help any newbies with their DD.
Have a great weekend.
GLL
Sirius,
I hear earnings to be in the band of $3.6 to $3.7 million with roughly $500,000 missing a shipping point, so will carry over to Q3.
As for MLK, GE is being shipped as is EDS and 4 airports sorted to date, many more to come and I believe it is roughly $100k per airport, 250 airports in total or around that figure, MLK can do his own maths!!
He keeps going on about the 2 new Companys not being included in the original $25 million, but it would appear, the revenues for these were possibly costed in at outset knowing they would be buying them.
GE was always going to be 6 months on from Jan 07, as per the PR around that time, so GE money not coming to the fore until really Q4, hence why these monies will be carried over to 2008.
Hope this helps, I`m away on holiday as of tomorrow night for a few weeks, so I wish all on this board, happy investing and hope that the Q2 figures plus the announcement for the new female COO, moves the stock up to near or just over the $2 mark in the imminent future.

Guys, who was the little girl who sang"Tomorrow, tomorrow, I`ll love you tomorrow, you`re only a day away?"
Just interested.
GLL
Mlk,
Yet again, a play with words, I didn`t say this week it would push it back to the $2`s, that`s your inference, if that happpens this week, I stick by my orignal message, if the COO and Q2 are announced early and out this week, I feel the stock will run back to $2 or near to it, maybe not this week but not long after as the Q should instill a bit of confidence back into the stock and as I have said for a long long time, TKO will be a second half of 2007 story.
Ching, ching, another $5`s.
GLL
MLK,
You are so full of yourself. No one has mentioned $5 million for Q2, but you are very near with your $4 million as I am sure you well know.
I am very surprised with all your patting on your back with the stock price, that you are not aware of what the revenues will be or what banding?
I would also like to point out that I never said we would see $2`s by the end of the week, that was your words, I said that if they announce the new lady and bring the Q2 report forward into July to help the pps, it would more than likely give the stock a run back up to the $2`s with a bit of luck.
p.s.
I must take my hat off to you with your predictions, as as much as it hurts to say, you have been pretty much spot on.
With this in mind, I feel it is my duty to advise you that you would probably be better served as a paid basher on these boards for say a Company who had a vested interest in the stock price going down, because with your credentials and predictions, I`m sure you could make a small fortune for yourself and others.
I see both sides and regardless of your incescent patting on the back of yourself and how good you are, I fail to see if indeed you are invested in TKO, that you can post these messages constantly knocking the stock. What good is that to you?
Well, I`ll sign off now Fwop, Knobby, MLK. I hope you will be as happy with the PPS going up as you have been with it going down and not once have you mentioned Stocklemon, I`m impressed!!

Color,
See my response to Ouch.
GLL
Hi Ouch, yes doing well with a new broker, mainly on 1-3 day trades, up now $78,000 on large single orders over the last 4 weeks, so i`m a happy bunny.
My view I would now prefer to re-enter TKO once the COO is in place and and we get a clearer view of Q3 figures, but I`m told going forward and into the end of the year, the revenues are going to ramp up. Let`s hope that comes to fruition!!
I understand new COO is now sorted and we might even get a double whammy this week for both Q2 results and also announcement for new COO and hopefully that will help the PPS and with a bit of luck, push it back up to the $2`s.
Apparently a bit of stock that was to be shipped didn`t in time, so that will carry over to Q3, but Q2 will be just fine on year on year Q`s.
Be good!!

Ouch,
I think you might find the Q`s might be announced earlier, this quarter maybe by the end of next week to help the PPS.
Hope you`re having a great weekend!!

BSD,
Boom boom to the post I am relying to!!!
GLL
BSD,
Oh yes Sir!!!
GLL
MLK,
I like lurking, but as I have said before, I will look to re-enter later in the year once Q2 and the new COO are in place, i.e. started working and a month or so under his/her belt, so probably Oct 07 for me on that basis.
GLL
BSD,
I know, that`s why I said I didn`t believe the $5 million being banded about. It`s obvious MLK believes it though!!
Hope you`re well?
GLL
MLK,
You do twist things!!
Let`s say the new COO was sorted by this Friday for arguement sake, so that`s the 20th July 2007. Depending on whether they have a 1 or a 3 month notice period, earliest would be 20th August, possibly 30th October 2007. Please read my posts fully Sir before responding and work things out first!!
p.s.
How`s your average price going?
GLL
Pops,
I have heard a rumour that earnings may be announced early to curtail the current downward trend and I also hear rumoured that the new COO is close to being sorted, just needs board approval, so with those two things and hopefully revenues for Q2 being above $4 million, personally I doubt the $5 million being banded about, then it could have a nice effect on the PPS with a bit of luck or at least stop this current downward trend.
Maybe others might like to comment on this if you have heard the same as above through the grapevine?

As Color would say "Whatever!!"

I presume the search for the new COO won`t start until August minimum until the holiday season is out the way.
Hello to everyone, I still watch!!

Tony,
The Amex Specialist and TKO have had many run ins and I believe moves are afoot to change Specialists if they can, as TKO have reported to the SEC several times about the Specialist has handled TKO.
I hope you all have a wonderful Independence Day break and enjoy the free time with friends and family.
A full working week here in the UK!!

I think you will find there is a lot more to the airport stuff re security, terrorists than you know.
I hear airports are coming along just fine!!
GLL
Guys and ladies,
It is with regret that I have sold my total position over today and into tomorrow if not fully filled today.
I have been with TKO for over 2yrs now, as have many of you and some alot longer, but I am not willing to wait any longer for the goods to arrive.
My decision is not based on anything negative that I know of, I am just missing out on too many other opportunities elsewhere with the sizeable holding that I had with TKO and these monies can be better used elsewhere.
Once the Q2 figures are announced in August and if they are to be expected at around roughly 3 times Q1, then I will more than likely return. Couple this with when a new COO is announced which is estimated towards the end of August/September, I feel this will be a better time to return once TKO has proven its` revenue streams to me in print.
I have enjoyed the friends I have made here on and off the board and I wish you all the best of luck with TKO going forward into the second part of this year and into 2008.
I will continue to read this board on and off, but due to heavy work committments and lack of time to follow my stocks and TKO is a high maintenance stock for me, I feel I need to go into stocks that I can leave alone and know they are fairly secure, safe in the knowledge it will make me money.
Many thanks,
GLL
MLK-GE-GLL
Thanks WinOneGipper for the explanation and no, I don`t use margin, cash only and all stocks held in cash account, two reasons, I don`t like the idea of margin and secondly, my shares can`t be given out to the shorts!!
GLL
WinOneGipper,
Good luck with your new investment!!
GLL
WinOneGipper,
You are a very clever man, but I can see through your posts.
Reverse psychology maybe? I assume so!! And I also assume you are still holding your shares, correct?
Very amusing!! It does use up MLK`s messages in response though!!
I cannot for the life of me understand MLK in his strategy, I also assume he is short this stock and I take my hat off to him for acutally being right. If he is long, he has the wrong strategy for his posts. Question the Company, the CC, the Management by all means, but see the bigger picture long.
Walt mentioned about the Q`s doing the talking, I too have mentioned this many, many times since late last year.
We all joke about don`t do a PR as the PPS will go down.
I 100% agree with Walt, no matter what the PR is, GE being the main one, it took the stock to $4`s for a very short period, then plateaued for a day or so around the $3.60, but then dropped back down to the $2.75 to $3 trading area.
In time, once the dust settles on this response to the CC, TKO will assume another trading low and high, but the dust needs to settle for a another week or so.
RP is not away for a long period of time, everything seems to hinge on RP and I personally think this could possibly be part of the reason for a certain sell off, i.e. CC done, CEO goes on holiday rather to stay around and promote the info taken from the CC. Mike Porter is moving on, RP is not 100% behind the Company and I personally think until the new COO is found, recruited and his termination period spent wherever he or she may come from, the stock stays fairly stable between the current price and the $2.20`s.
As Wlat states, the Q`s will do the talking and if Q2 is to be as expected, it will be the largest Q they have had to date, hopefully and as expected, the following 4 Q`s will be that follow on.
TKO is a stock that you can easily relate to as watching paint dry.
Although I don`t like alot of NEW2XICOR`S posts on Yahoo, he does have some substance behind his posts and I do believe that it is time for Ron to take a long hard look at his Company, give the new COO 3-6 months to get behind the wheel and then step down. Ron is too much of a control freak. He needs to listen to his staff, advisers and higher management, as not all ideas are good, and not all ways of how to run a business are good, we need a bit of a shake up within TKO, new blood and staff morale to be heightened. As Sirius states, a happy work force gets results, it`s a joy to go to work and you get the most out of your staff, especially if an idea can be implemented by lower staff members, rather than this is the way it works, take it or leave it.
I deal with many men like Ron at board level, staff morale is very low and it is just a job for the staff not something that they get out of bed in the morning and think great, I`m off to work. Illness plays high if morale is low. Everyone likes recognition and a pat on the back every now and then, right down to the cleaners, right up to board members, give recognition for good work and most importantly, lead by example, not do as I say not do as I do!!
Rant over, but TKO could be turned around so much quicker if a more dynamic person was at the helm and no offense to older members of this board, but people get set in their ways, they don`t want to work so hard e.t.c. and that snowballs down to the staff below and let`s face it, the board members of TKO collectively must add up to many hundreds of years.
P.S.
Sorry for the long post!!
p.p.s.
Anybody hear anything more about the 2 guys that were employed on $100k each for the schools and how they are getting along?
GLL
Pops,
Ron had prostrate cancer and had an operation to sort it last year.
As far as I know, he made a full recovery, albeit I would assume still taking it easy with working from home and his boat.
Can`t blame the chap, but, we as shareholders, need someone at the helm who works for the Company and also his shareholders and steers the ship in the right direction with leadership skills e.t.c.
Poor health is a bad thing, but I also assume this is the reason for the new COO, i.e. to alleviate the pressures from Ron and hopefully give confidence to the TKO staff and all contracts that are in the mix, along with new investors and the Insties.
I hope Ron stays out the Triangle on his holiday, or else we might not see him again!!
GLL
Bentley,
Apparently TKO and the Market Maker do not see eye to eye and I heard a rumour that it was the Market Maker who told the SEC about TKO not having an independent board member, so from that, I take it they are at loggerheads and possibly be a change in Market Maker shortly, I hope so too.
Obviously only a rumour mind you!!
My main problem I currently have with TKO and RP moreso, is that he did the CC and has now gone away on holiday rather than following up on the CC with the Insties and whoever, in my view, a poor show.
GLL
BSD,
I am strangely quiet, but due to being exceptionally busy at work, I`m in at 7am, very rarely get out of the office till after 8pm, sometimes midnight and gone and then continue to draft these contracts from home, deadlines everywhere, developers wanting everything yesterday as do all the architects e.t.c. and I`m two staff down presently, well one now, as Mark is back from Florida after a 4 week holiday over there.
I have not had a lot of time to check things or respond, but I can on rare occasions in between stuff, but I do read the board and Yahoo, along with my other stocks daily, just too time consuming at the moment as this is my busy season through to late Oct from April.
Can`t wait to get away to the villa for my holiday on the 31st July, 46 days and counting!!!
GLL
Isaiah,
Nope, I`ve not been saying much at all lately, news has been light on the ground of late, TKO in quiet mode yet again!!
My personal thoughts are that I would like to see someone a bit more dynamic hosting the CC, although I thought Ron was pretty good in the paid for one last year and handled the situation very well, but we need a bit of a proper speaker to head the C.C.up, but we already know RP is chairing the C.C..
I would like to think that they will have people vetting the calls and asking what the caller wants to ask prior to it going live, so they can manage the responses better. I don`t know if that happens but it would make sense, especially taking heed of Huey`s recent message.
I think we might have a bit of a surprise.
I now don`t think GE will deliver the goods much this year, possibly $2-$3 million, but I hope this can be made up in other areas.
Looking at the predictions so far, we only have $5-$6 million revenues from the start of the year to the end of the 2nd quarter, whcih we won`t hear about until August, unless they release a pre-lim before the official date.
I hear that EDS is flying and the orders are coming in almost daily and very regularly, but EDS will not make the total deficit up to the $25 million.
Schools I hope will start picking up from 3rd quarter onwards and it would be nice to hear if more than 2 airports are now covered, we`ve heard lots of rumours about Homeland Security but no real revenue figures, so it looks like it is down to the 2 new acquisitions, EDS, Homeland Security and schools.
Whether MST will acount for much, who knows?
TKO state they now have enough cash to carry them through to the end of the year, seems tight to me without hefty revenues coming in, so in fairness, TKO now need to ramp up and do $20 million in the 2nd 2 quarters. Will it happen, who knows, will RP give further guidance downwards in the CC, who knows, but I just have an inkling we may all be surprised from the CC if it is conducted correctly and the calls screened prior to them going live to RP, if it becomes a free for all, off subject questions and guidance is lower, then the stock will fall, if some good news and it is delivered in the correct way, we will see an increase hopefully in the PPS.
At the moment, do you put your money on the red or the black, again who knows, not long though to find out?
Take care,
GLL

That aside, I agree, it will be an interesting tail end of this week leading into next to see how the markets react to the CC.

Sonny,
I know she`s one of the administrators, I was just being sarcastic as some of the stuff on this board has been a little bit harsh and petty in my opinion for deleting messages.
As to Colormixer, he`s just Colormixer, TKO, TKO, TKO, GO TKO and he means nothing by it, he`s just that way inclined, a bit like Mr Magoo in Wodger Wabbitt, oh woe is me e.t.c. and only gets a little bit of light in his life when the stock is green, TKO, TKO, TKO, GO TKO, it doesn`t bother me anymore, I just ignore it as others should.
Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, TKO SHARES, TKO SHARES, TKO SHARES, but I think we are or should be, all adult enough for not posting harsh name calling e.t.c. but a bit of light hearted fun should acceptable, I take it all in my stride and it is like water off a ducks back to me, Ron Pickett, Ron Pickett, Ron Pickett.
Hopefully this post is not deemed Off Topic as I have included some TKO stuff!!
What time do we leave school today?
GLL
Sonny,
Has Shelly sold her shares?
I found it amusing I put a post up stating that there had been lots of deleted messages today and my message was deleted, so a message about deleted nmessages will be deleted, but if that message is deleted, it cannot then be re-deleted, a sort of double jeopardy I presume?
PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER BELOW FOR VERIFICATION ON PERSONAL ATTACKS AND DELETED MESSAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GLL
DISCLAIMER:-
I have no affiliation to a deleted message whether deleted or not.
If a message is deleted, then the deleted message cannot be read, if read before deletion, then that information must be deleted from your memory, if indeed you can remember where your memory is.
If you can`t remember, then the deletion of deleted messages is immaterial whether deleted or not deleted as your memory cannot be found.
Dilution is a different matter and if dilution ends up deleting your stock value, then you will definitely wish to delete the dilution that deleted your stock and delete it from your memory and move on.
If the stock has been totally diluted and deleted, then the messages telling someone to sell their stock becomes immaterial as the stock has been deleted by the dilution, hence any message stating to sell your stock is then not a personal attack, as the stock is already deleted and leaves the stockholder no option to sell their shares as they have none left through the dilution and deletion of their shares.
I just thought I would clear up this issue in the best way I understand it!!
