thanks, tom.

If they can't make that number, they should revise. Tell why they can't, tell us where it is going for the rest of 07 and where it's going in 08, conservatively, so that they might actually deliver on what they promised. I'm not going nowhere. Still like the company, the tech, and where it's heading. But deliver on what you promise, man. If not, own it and move forward. Even at 22 mil that 4x last year. I'm happy with that. But the communication needs to be better.
BSD
they said 25. it'd better be 25.
BSD
Sellers have dried up. could it be that MLK's prediction of 2.70 by end of October is about to come true? Gee, and I thought he was overly optimistic.
BSD
Could you afford to supersize it?
BSD
MLK is right. Up 11 cents!
BSD
Exactly, right. Kickin butt and takin names.
BSD
More great news, MLK, no wonder you think we'll see 2.70 by Halloween!
BSD
Just like you said, up 10. Another great call
BSD
Gotta agree. Great news for the bottom line. Acquisitions paying off big time.
BSD
Sirius, of course RBT is right. Remember when you used to post buy and sell interests from i-watch? What did you think that was?
The hotel I stayed in was a Marriott. Almost brand new.
BSD
I beginning to believe that MLK's prediction of 2.60-2.79 by end of October may indeed come to pass.
BSD
By the way, i was in a hotel this weekend that had the system. Noticed the very first day that the a/c kicked on when we came back to our room. Worked very efficiently. I doubt I would have even noticed had I not known about the technology. It was nice to know that the a/c wasn't pumping all day while we were off playing. Seems to me that we will see a time when this type of system is the norm.
BSD
Walt, this is great news. 5mil is twenty per cent of the much discussed 25mil target. Usually what happens with these utility energy savings rebates and such is that the utility sets aside a certain amount for the project. Since the product is free, people clamor to get it until the money set aside for the project for that year is gone. Then, the next year the utility will set aside another amount. There's no telling from this pr what the utility has set aside for 2008, and perhaps it's not even specified yet. This is how it works for such products as insulation, energy star appliance and the like, anyhow.
BSD
See, Ouch, you gotta read between the lines with MLK. He meant 1.10 to 1.19 higher than today's price. He's a difficult guy until you get the hang of him. He means 2.60-2.79
BSD
This may or may not have anything to do with TKO. They are not mentioned in the article. They were not providing city wide WiFi for ELNK, but rather PLC for a pilot project in an MDU. Notwithstanding, ELNK is in deep doo-doo. TKO has nowhere suggested what, if any, revenue they have expected from them.
BSD
MLK is right. It's such a deal at these prices, especially considering he believes the pps will be much higher than 1.90 in October.
BSD
I don't know what you're talking about. MLK's right. TKO is taking off.
Glad to see you back, by the way.
BSD
You said it. Twenty five million is a lock for 2008! October is just the beginning! Way to go, MLK.
BSD
I agree with MLK. The investments in Ethostream and SSI were terrific for TKO and added to the existing business with GE, Homeland Security and the airports, TKO will soon take off!
BSD
Great article. No wonder you think TKO will be much higher than 1.90 by October.
BSD
Yes, but if TKO is much higher than 1.90 as MLK says, all the better, right?
BSD
MLK is right. TKO will definitely be much higher than 1.90 by October.
BSD
Finally some decent sized bids. I was wondering if we were going to see buyers anytime soon here.
BSD
I didn't receive any message re Sirius. Whatever is happening, I wish her the best.
BSD
Sirius, I cannot reply privately as I'm not a paying member but merely an Ihub barnacle. I think the board functions as it should now. It keeps it more civil than Yahoo, but there's a free flow of ideas. I appreciate you guys keeping it up, despite our occasional differences. If people decide to move elsewhere I will of course follow.
BSD
Oh, duh. Scroll down. There it is.
Great post. Thanks for the repost.
BSD
where is it?
Apart from what the stock is doing this morning, if anything, this Ethostream deal looks better all the time. They keep adding market share. Extream has 25,000 units under service or contract and has a nice chunk of the timeshare market nationwide. It would be safe to assume that 7,500 is the tip of the iceberg here. Added to its customer base, this seems like a big get for Ethostream. Plus we got a young and seemingly robust COO out of the deal.
BSD
There is no comparison between today and '87. As a percentage of the overall market, this drop is not terrifically meaningful, in my opinion. The market was way overextended and was in dire need of a correction. I'll be interested to see if it holds 12,5. Think it will but with the credit problems and the idiot greedy mortgage companies finally getting their comeuppance, it might not. I added to college funds and mutuals just a little while ago. Have been holding back on both for months on end. Fear reigns. Time to buy?
BSD
Yeah, I'm with you. They've given guidance and now she's off on another tangent. Profitable and growing. Name of the game.
BSD
"During the second half of 2007 and into 2008 we are expecting further acceleration of our revenue growth. We expect our energy management business to flourish over the coming quarters as both electric utilities and building owners seek additional ways to conserve energy. After lengthy delays, several of our federal government-related programs are now well underway and are accelerating and our hospitality business is winning important contracts. We believe these events will allow the Company to further significantly reduce its cash burn during the September quarter and to achieve positive cash flow and profitability on a monthly run-rate basis by year end."
That is as much guidance as they can and will give us. Unless they have something new so that guidance would be revised upward.
BSD
What part of 25 million in revenues did you not understand? They said between three and four million for the q, that was guidance. What is it your looking for, officially? They said, just after the q that TKO would be profitable on a monthly run basis, meaning december. That was forward looking, no?
BSD
32 years old? wow. That's some serious dough for a kid. Very impressive.
BSD
Market in full retreat. Dow breaking down 12,500 likely and soon, i'll bet.
BSD
To you know who,
Thanks for the note. I remain long and strong. Sorry for the confusion.
BSD
anyone notice the 500k share block that crossed after hours?
For the record...
unlike several of our most ardent cheerleaders, I have never sold a share of this stock. GLL for all her/his good info, has sold at this level, Walrus has some at least some. I feel sorry for those who got washed out below here. Certainly being a tko stockholder has been an ordeal. Even harrowing at times. Tuesday comes to mind. A buck twenty prior to earnings? Probably a good thing for those of us who continue to hold and accumulate. We needed to wash out all the weak hands and start over.
I have believed in this technology and its many applications from the beginning. I am well under water on this thing. I've continued to buy even in the face of the relentless downturn after the GE announcement. My confidence did not waiver, except when GLL sold out. I know one should not read too much into what "one trader" does with his shares, but her info was always so spot on, I must admit it took me by surprise when he sold. Still I bought my usual allotment of shares the past few weeks, accumulating what is now a huge position (for a guy like me who works--for himself--for a living). My wife precluded me from doubling down this week. What the hell, she's smart as hell, she's often right. We DO own a lot of stock.
I think, though, that the company has learned its lesson re promising things it cannot deliver. The market is demanding things from Pickett and he is delivering them. New blood. Guidance. Cash flow. I trust that what he said in the statement today is true. He must know by now that the market will not bear more swollen promises. And what he said today is good by me.
I won't buy any more shares. I'm finished with accumulation. I'm gonna watch. Good luck to all. Back luck to all the naysayers and blow hards who sell their shares while encouraging others to buy.
Read the press release and then read it again. It's all there in black and white.
BSD
I guess the market can add without using its fingers and toes.
BSD
Well, they made the revenue as promised in the cc. They say they have enough money to fund operations through the end of the year. It's going to require a massive effort to reach 25 million as promised. About 20 million in revenue in six months. The revenues for government and energy sectors, though growing, are low. The foreign numbers are practically non-existent. Costs will be going down, they say. They'd better. But if they can fund the operation with cash on hand and revenues, things are looking up. It'll be interesting to see what the market makes of this.
