Well, I recommend that if that is your analysis, you should sell.
I'll bet that's not a permanent state of affairs.
Tuto,
you need a more useful hobby than trying to antagonize the moderator. The points you want to make, to the extent that
the are substantive and not purposefully inflammatory, can
be made without the personal innuendo.
Thank you, Mr. Kip, for establishing the protocols for discussion.
PS -- thanks for the pms. Unable to reply on IH, but will email you soon.
Let's see what happens if they set a trial date.....:)
Hi Rudy,
I haven't been following level 2 closely enough since the rs to know, but I will take your word for it. It does feel to me like perhaps the most pessimistic bears may be disappointed. I certainly hope so! But we need more tangible good news.
Hmmm...Interesting. Will it hold? Go higher?
Well said.
Right. And these guys are not dumb. And they aren't as bad as some, who sold at .002 after buying much higher, might think. The past dilution was a NECESSITY forced by the need to retire debt. Hopefully they are now in a stronger position and will find other options at present.
Thanks for the report.
Thanks for the report.
Hi Tecz. Good to have an official rep reading and even posting sometimes.
Ha Ha. No way.... joyces -- like I said, I'm holding at least the vast majority of my shares. Good for SOLM; she's holding well, may she continue the upward trend. My primary reason for contemplating selling some shares now is that I'm very impressed by CBAI and might want some cash to put there.
Good point about the timing.
I wish I were confident that your explanation is correct. Unfortunately I can think of other reasons for the split that are more obvious. That said, I think they have a damn strong case against TOY, and that there's a big payoff still very possible on that score....
Sorry for the double post. Kip, can you delete this one? Thanks.

I agree, Pete. I *may* sell *some* of my shares (I have a very large number in the context of my other holdings). But I have a feeling in my bones that this company is here to stay, given the history you recount -- and also that they have some interesting tricks up their sleeves that will unfold over the next few weeks. I wouldn't count them down yet, that's for sure.
Interesting. Thanks for the example.
Putting myself in the position of a SOLM director, my near term goals would include not only getting out of the pinks but getting *into* the NASDAQ. At that point, institutional investors *might* start to take notice. I believe that requires an average share price over a period of time of $5.00. With the right business plan, properly PR'd, that doesn't seem unreasonable as a hope over the next few months, especially if they use the new shares very prudently to handle only the most imminent of outstanding debt obligations.
I would like to second Kubotapete's sober and thoughtful post.
Let's keep some respect for past and present moderators. Diversity of opinion is a good thing.
Good thread on technicals,
on this yahoo board:
75% chance that current plateau between .02 and .026 will break to the upside, with new resistance at .06, shortly.

Thanks, Fivestar.
Kip,
Where are you in Maryland? I'm in Balt!
Cheers,
"Ben"
I have always felt that SOLM had a much better shot at this particular litigation than the previous round with the ITC. The difference is the burden of proof. As I understand it, in this round, they do not have to prove their case "by clear and convincing evidence," but by the usual civil standard of "a preponderance of the evidence." I personally believe that, given the history of TOY's involvement with SOLM, they can meet that standard easily. This is supported by the fact that they won many of the points at issue in the ITC case. But they had to win all of them to prevail.
Your diligence is appreciated, as is Fivestar's.
Let me second that. Thanks, Fivestar, for the clarification.
Hmmm. Dare we connect these dots?
"In the 2 years that I have held SOLM,this is BY FAR the most PR's in this short a period...something is definitly up."
Agreed.
Nice call, Kip. Looks like SOLM is set to "rock and roll" on several fronts at once. Its clear that their marine propulsion division has an enormous upside potential, one that has been inhibited partly due to cost considerations -- which are subject to new innovations in manufacturing and economies of scale. They could well be poised for some big breakthroughs in that market, esp. if governments around the world see the huge long term value in reduced fuel consumption from SOLM's electric wheel and start to subsidize private investment with appropriate incentives.
Good idea....but what we have to realize is the original motivation behind the RS idea. SOLM is still very short on cash -- that's the Achilles heel of this otherwise amazing, spunky little co.
I think we have a good shot at it.
I'm betting we will see all of the above in the not-too-distant future. GO SOLM!!!!!
Anyone have an answer?
Almost all trades are up 2-4% over yesterday's close, which was up over the day before. So there is a definite upward price trend, just not a very strong one compared to the action a couple of weeks ago. The volume is not as high as it was during the recent round of publicity and very steep appreciation.
Nice day today. We seem to be consolidating with new resistance above .02. Hopefully setting the stage for up, up and away with some more good news.
By the way, We ought to all give a big thanks to Fivestar for his excellent leadership in moderating this board. Fivestar, I hope you aren't gone for good, but thanks in any case for all that you've done over the past years to keep the discussion productive and sensible. Hopefully the board will continue in that tradition.
Hi Kip,
I was referring to your balanced and thoughtful posts, not technical knowledge. The most important criterion for this job is the human one, that is, 1)not being a nutjob :), 2)being honest, and 3) having some sensitivity to individuals and to the complexities of a stock like SOLM.
I think you have all those qualities, most of the time :) anyway.
cheers,
Ben
Kip,
Judging from your posts, you'd do a great job.
It has been said that the suit is for $10,000 per vehicle. If they win or settle, I would imagine the actual figure to be somewhere between that and the low figure of $300.
That's what I'm a-talkin 'bout. GO SOLM!
