Att anyone, I have not seen a message since this morning except for Sonny's & mine to Sirius wishing her well during this weeks tests. Post's # 8370 & 8371. Please advise if the same applies to anyone else or is it my computer. Thanks, Walrus. Just saw EMarshall's # 8372
Sirius, The same good wishes to you from me, praying that all goes well for you. Walrus
So are we all including me & you
To whom it may concern. TKO is not an instant gratification stock, for that, investors should be in Google, Yahoo etc. This is a "show me stock" & this is what will happen. Incremental quarters will show dramatic upturns, 2nd qtr will almost triple 1st qtr, 3rd qtr will double 2nd qtr, and finally 4th qtr will double 3rd qtr, this will result in a $25 million year. This sort of dynamic growth will be the catalyst to bring in new buyers. If you do not have the patience to wait for this then you do not belong in TKO. It is discouraging to see the daily PPS go down to new lows. My advice is enjoy the summer go play golf or swim & look again in a few months. Walrus
RBT, You are 100% correct, this is very optimistic financing on the part of TKO & the lender GRQ. They did not issue shares & at 6% for 1.5 million is $7500 for 6 months is $42,500. This is very short term financing for avery short period till the $ come flowing in. The Co. will be cash flow positive in 3 months or less, The friendly lender has warrants to purchase 370,000 shares {rounded off} @ $4.17 if this is not positive then what is. IMO third qtr will be far greater than we all expect & as the institutions begin to hear the numbers & see the news releases the PPS will no longer be an average multiple but at a new evaluation based on dynamic growth which could be 20/30X earnings/share. The Co. with a 55% or more gross profit could have a 35% net on revenue now that the MST of 600K/ month is gone. I hope everyone reading this understands these projections. I have never been as optimistic on the future of TKO as I am now. In summary these current prices will seem like a bad dream in a few months. Walrus
There is a current seller who began to sell Friday & is still there. Should be cleaned up by Tuesday. I was just told that this counteracted the news re Geek which will result in 5/6 million annual additional revenue. We may see some very good news in the next few days.
Everybody should put mlk on ignore then he will be talking to himself !!
Isaiah, Include me in
You are 100 % correct read my reply
chaosmaster, I see no problem on this issue. Firstly MSTI is in the fold & is an operating entity. TKO does not have to purchase ISP or any other service. it is all in the mix. TKO can do it all themselves & are installing on a daily basis as fast as they can. It is all under full control & of no concern.
I would like to discuss some recent news releases but firstly to clarify a few points. In order to really understand TKO takes a great amount of time, research & DD which is what I do for about 2 hours 6 days a week for a number of years. I have a great deal of confidence in the Co. & am not suggesting that anyone buy or sell. That is a very personal decision. Some of you may have seen a post from steeltown that I sold all my stock. This post was not from steeltown who I know personally but by his nephew Justin who posted in his name & who recently said that steeltown also sold, both stories are incorrect & steeltown assured me this will not happen again. Re the 2 news releases on Ethostream on 6/25 & 6/26 clearly show great growth in just 2 months since the acquisition. An increase of 33% since mid April with todays news that they now provide access to 2000 properties, 150,000 rooms & 1 million network users per month. Monday they announced an alliance with a Canadian Co. which will further increase their 2007 revenue. IMO & from what I researched, TKO will do about 6 million in 2007 thru Ethostream coupled with Smart Systems who did $3 million in 2006 & had a backlog of orders, this adds up to perhaps 9 million from these 2 new acquisitions. I believe that TKO will reach their announced goal of 25 million in 2007. TKO is a " show me"stock which clearly means that successive quarterly growth will bring in large institutional buyers who would rather pay $3/4 or $5 for a stock that has yet to prove itself. Hopefully there will be aroad trip inthe next 2 weeks and I believe there will be additional contracts & alliances before then.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I JUST SPOKE TO STEELTOWN WHO HAS NOT SOLD ONE SHARE. HIS CRAZY NEPHEW IS POSTING IN HIS NAME AND HE IS FURIOUS AT HIM AND WILL TALK TO HIM TONITE AND STOP THIS AT ONCE. WALRUS
I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO POST FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD, TOO MANY QUESTIONS AND NEGATIVE COMMENTS. I NEED A VACATION FROM THE BOARD. SO KINDLY DO NOT EXPECT ANY REPLYS. " I MAY POST AGAIN IN JULY OR MUCH LATER. GOODBYE
MLK, You are correct, 3/4 meant 3 to 4 million, so totals I believe are 25.
I believe these are the figures for Thurs, I should have added that because this is an open CC, TKO & of course RP can disclose any news not previously announced. IMO we may get some good surprises
IT WILL AND LOOK FOR A SILVER LINING SOME OF THE TIME
MLK, FYI & anyone else interested, TKO did 1.1 million for 1st qtr, they will do 5.million for the 2nd I was told just today that it may well be 6 million & that leaves 18 million. IMO RP will state Thurs & my contacts confirm that 18 is quite certain. EDS will be 6, Homeland Security about 3, schools 3, Ethostream + Smart Systems about 3/4+ GE another 3/4= the hospitality business also about 3/ 4. SO ADD THAT UP this totals more than 18. Relax you may be smiling Thurs.
Tony, I left out some important facts. I recall being at the Rodham Renshaw conference & the Pacific Growth Investors Forum + a number of others when RP openly stated that it was his & Pete Musser's eventual goal to one day sell this Co. When asked at what price he openly stated @ $30/40 per share. That my friend could well be 2/3 years or more down the line. IMO I believe that will happen in the future. Of course they have to become a major factor in their highly disruptive technology which will surely happen. I can see this company doing many times their 2007/8 revenue at a consistent 50/60% profit margin. This is why they totally disregarded any recent discussions re a buy out. I for one plan to still have a position in the stock, when & if this happens. I think this explains my earlier comments. Walrus
FOR EVERYONE'S EDIFICATION, RON PICKETT WILL NEVER STEP DOWN AS CEO OR PRESIDENT,THE THOUGHT HAS NEVER OCCURRED TO ANY TKO BOARD MEMBER OR HIGH LEVEL EMPLOYEE. I CALLED A TKO BOARD MEMBER RECENTLY WHO ASKED ME WHERE I HAD HEARD THIS ODD RUMOR & BEGAN TO LAUGH, IF ANYONE THINKS THIS IS EVEN REMOTELY POSSIBLE THEY SHOULD RE-EXAMINE WHERE THEY HEARD THIS STORY. THE ONLY POINT THAT RP OR THE BOARD WOULD WOULD EVER CONSIDER IT WOULD BE WHEN THE COMPANY WILL BE SOLD TO ANOTHER ENTITY FOR A MUCH HIGHER $ FIGURE SOME 20X THE CURRENT PRICE. I WOULD VERY POLITELY SUGGEST THAT THE TOPIC BE DROPPED.
RE the CC call Thurs, all institutions, funds, brokerage houses, banks, etc have been advised by Porter, LeVay and Rubenstein Public Relations . It will have a large audience. Walrus
Thanks for the explanation, TKO has no intention of selling any MSHI shares at this time since they now have a low cash burn 1/2 of what it was & in no need of funds with big $ from EDS& GE, Schools, Homeland Security installs, Tampa, Ethostream etc, etc. Their only problem now, which is a great problem to have is to keep up with their influx of new business & they are managing that. Keep the faith, Walrus
I do not know how many more PR's before the CC, IMO several not 2/3
The answer is there are a few very large retail buyers looking for SIZE 2/300k, & they are far from done
bentley20, I will reply publicly so everyone can read it, I spend many hours daily on DD. You already have guidance on the 4/5 million for 2nd Qtr. The Co stated almost 2 weeks ago that they have a contract from EDS for 4 million, which they began to ship against at once since they have the 85mg chip in inventory all stated in the news release. They do not need the 200mg chip as does GE Energy who they are installing for at many substations at once at 50K per station. TKO is shipping for their 2 new acquisitions, Smart Systems & Ethostream daily. They got $300,000 for the Tampa project last week, read my post on this of a few days ago. They are installing at airports daily for Homeland Security. I am curious don't you read this stuff ? I could go on for another 1/2 hour but will stop now. For 3rd & 4th qtr this for certain, for OVER 20 million & you will all hear this in next weeks CC call as guidance. PS. I will probably buy a Bentley later this year with TKO profit
READ MY MESSAGE 6486
Yes a conference call is planned but they want a few more press releases to be issued this week & early next week
huey, Take it from me TKO does not need cash now or anytime this year, Of course they know they can sell MSHI stock at any time but why should they. Their cash burn has dropped by more than 50% per month. They only have one concern right now, & that is to handle all the varied business flow coming in daily. $4/5 million in 2nd qtr & over $20 million in 3rd & 4th qtrs, this will lead to major institutional buying shortly. This will result in a steady growth of EPS & the PPS will then reflect this.
Winone & everyone else, I spoke to the PR dept today after the close & since TKO owns free & clear 18.5 million shares, 61% of the new entity of FITX.ob at $1.35 equals $25 million. That is a great gain in one day. This should be interpreted I was told, that they can sell any portion if they wish to at market prices without further dilution of TKO specifically & their monthly burn rate is now 700K per month. There is great interest in any deal done by Palladium Partners as shown by the 700,000 share volume today. This will reflect to a TKO PPS increase very quickly There will be a major CC in a few days & a series of upbeat news releases. The new symbol should be announced by Monday latest. The other good news is I shot a 38 for 9 holes today from our Gold tees since I was feeling so good about TKO. I probably would have shot my age or better today if I had played 18. Walrus
The Tampa convention center is the largest complex of it's kind in the world. I believe that TKO/TGS was paid about $300,000 for it's installation. The exact $ are never disclosed in such a transaction since it was subcontracted with a VAR. The 2nd qtr for 2007 will be the largest increase over any prior qtr for TKO since it's inception as a public company.
THIS IS THE ENTIRE STORY RE THE MST DEAL. I HAVE SPENT OVER 1 1/2 HOURS READING THE 8K & THE SEC/GOV SITE & IT IS ALL CLEAR NOW. THIS IS A WIN-WIN SITUATION IN ALL IT'S ASPECTS. I HAVE AMASSED AN EXTREMELY LARGE POSITION & COULD NOT BE MORE PLEASED WITH THE PROSPECTS. MY GRAND CHILDREN WILL ALSO HAVE FINANCIAL SECURITY FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. NONE OF THE FOLLOWING IS MY OPINION BUT SOLELY FROM THE 8K & THE SEC/GOV SITE. TKO GOT $1 MILLION & 5 MILLION SHARES FOR IT'S $6MILLION IN LOANS+ ANOTHER $1 MILLION IN CASH THAT IT HAD ADVANCED SINCE 12/31 THE NUMBERS ON WHICH THE DEAL WAS BASED. TKO OF COURSE WAS DEVALUATED BY THE MARKET BECAUSE OF IT'S MST DRAIN, NOW THAT IS OVER. THE NEW ENTITY PICKS UP 700K PER MONTH & TKO'S MONTHLY BURN DROPS TO ABOUT 700K INSTEAD OF 1.4 MILLION/MONTH. NOW THE BIG PLUS, TKO OWNS 18.5 MILLION SHARES OF THE NEW ENTITY SO JUST MULTIPLY 18.5 MILLION X THE TRADING PRICE OF THE NEW ENTITY AND YOU WILL ALL SEE WHAT THIS IS WORTH TO TKO. I WILL NOT REPLY TO ANY DIRECT QUESTIONS. TKO IS WAITING FOR NASDAQ TO ASSIGN THE NEW TRADING SYMBOL SO MST CAN BEGIN TRADING , HOPEFULLY TODAY I AM OFF TO PLAY GOLF NOW FOR THE REST OF THE DAY
EVERYBODY READ THE NEWS OUT AT 8.30 A.M. AND SMILE BROADLY. ALL JOURNEYS BEGIN WITH THE FIRST STEP, BE IT 1000 DAYS OR 100 DAYS
Att, Ilandofnevis & all other interested parties, FYI based upon my own DD & reading all prior information available etc, TKO should do a minimum of 25 million revenue in calendar 2007 with a markup of almost 60%. I addition their monthly burn rate will drop to about 700K from current monthly burn rate of 1.4 million by early June. Their major concern IMO & for the next several months is not cash but their ability to produce enough inventory to cover the massive new business they have coming in from their various alliances & partners + new acquisitions etc.
MLK, THERE WAS NO CONFERENCE CALL LAST WEEK, I BELIEVE THERE WILL BE ON WITHIN ONE WEEK
EVERYONE NOTE THE UPDATED SHORT POSITION, DOWN OVER 800,00O SHARES IN THE PAST MONTH. BIG CHANGE ABOUT -22%. THESE LOW LIFE'S HAVE HAD THEIR DAY. THE BALL IS NOW IN TKO'S COURT!!
I AGREE 100%
steeltown, Thanks for posting my reply to new2xicor on the Yahoo board. Walrus
ouch _gotcha, I have high respect for you but a few corrections, I am under 80 by a few years & have great confidence in the future of TKO & merely rounded out my position. The cash burn I believe & IMO will not be a problem after 5/31/07. Have some more patience & you will be rewarded in spades. I am in TKO for the long run & have been for many years, I readily admit that all good events take too long with this Co., hopefully we will see fruition shortly. Walrus
I could give you a reason but I will not, FYI I just bought.
I have decided to post the following. In the shareholders letter in Feb '07, it was clearly stated that TKO projected 8.5 million for 2007 with the Govt. This 4 million was only the 1st order & they will upgrade these contract dollars very shortly IMO to 10/12 million this year. The fact that these DoD orders are from existing paid for inventory, using 14mg chips is a big plus & will result in significant cash flow for the Co. Also IMO again there will be a conference call this week which I have to assume will be directed at the institutions. In addition IMO there will be more news releases this week on other major issues. BTW if anyone has access to more BS today from the desperate fools at Think Equity please post it.
GLL, Well deserved comments & fully justified, Color is critical of anyone well informed. Walrus
