At shows like these companies need to reserve their booth space months in advance or risk being shut out. It has nothing to do with any acquisition probability at this point.
Yes it does. He would say the same thing if/when they are owned by L3 or another leader.
Great points Buzz, thanks.
Nice ??????
It is a nice introduction for them ??. It's just that when I saw that live news icon light up on my TDAmeritrade screen my heart started pounding. Needless to say I was disappointed it was not the L3 PR! I hope we don't have to wait much longer!
I was also thinking along those lines. I hope that is true! This is like watching paint dry.
Yeah we got excitement all right. A press release that just came out that just rehashes a bunch of old news. What is with that!
I'm not saying in all cases Street sweeper doesn't know what they're talking about. But in many cases that is the fact.
Streetsweeper is known for bogus slams on companies. They briefly bring the stock down and shortly after it's up as high if not higher than it was previous to the report. In the meantime they make a fast buck on the short play.
Go online and read the statement the company put out it all makes perfect sense.

When I look at 'about us' it shows they do cargo and baggage screening. Nothing about passenger screening. And as mentioned in an earlier post--no US Certs.
The date of the article is May 25, so I doubt it
The disclosure document just talks about the types of metal that goes into their products that is all I could see upon a quick read
In most transactions like this, the contract states that the key players come over for X number of years.
In one word--debt. And of course lack of exposure.
Not to mention the case that you show the stock and recommend it to somebody and they look at the debt and they think you're crazy and don't want to buy it and don't care what you have to say. They look at the stock price, the exchange it trades on, and the debt levels--and just move on to the next idea. Very few know the whole story, or want to bother to listen to it. It is a highly unique situation and hopefully will also mean highly unique profits for all of us. And for most others it is just flying below the radar. As it has been for years. I strongly believe soon a lot more people know about this!
Just saw on CNBC at 8:18 AM talking about briefly a new automated checking they are testing in Atlanta. Anyone know more about this?
Man I wish this would happen soon. This is torture.
We need the new Implant Sciences handheld in there ASAP ??
It's no surprise, it's due to the long lines.
I agree, but that would make too much sense!
I'm trying to remember how I first heard about this company. But I believe it was an article I saw on the drudge report. It sounded like an amazing company. Yes, I never lost faith but at times it sure has been tough. Especially when I got friends and family involved in the stock and had to put up with hearing frustration from them! Hopefully soon we will all be rewarded nicely. The bashers and the manipulators along the way have allowed me to load up very heavily at low prices. So as frustrating as it has been it also has been positive in a way. Best of luck to all of us.
It's so hard to estimate what this company would/will sell for. I tend to agree with what many have stated here. There are so many factors. But like everyone has been saying I sure hope that they get the true value based on future revenue and profits that the acquiring company will benefit from. As tough as it has been for us shareholders, the IMSC team has worked so hard through the years overcoming one obstacle after another.
I have been in the stock for something like 10 or 12 years. Back when they had the medical division and was at $15 a share on a normal exchange. Along the way I sold for tax loss and bought back in at much lower prices as low as $.25. For the longest time I was reluctant to sell anything because I never knew when the next day would come with a huge anniuncement like the TSA. I own more now than I ever have and finally hope for that huge announcement that really matters to the stock price. Go IMSC. ??
They are not allowed to mention the company in most if not all cases. The networks don't allow it. Especially when it's a pennystock.
And by the way ALOG happens to be located in Massachusetts also. Wish I had bought that stock a long time ago. Look at the chart.
I saw that on CNBC. The symbol is ALOG. Looks like it is a converted healthcare CT system that scans bags much faster than current units. http://www.analogic.com/products/security-and-detection To me this is even more reason for L3 to buy IMSC to get the all in one system ASAP. What are your thoughts?
Sure can't wait for the buyout to take place. It's amazing how many great things are happening yet how bad we can feel at the same time!
I would love it if Bill and team knew the stock would go down after the call and then have the surprise buyout announcement this afternoon or tomorrow just to reward the loyal investors and screw the day traders!!
The fact that they did not even recognize L3 in any manner, is very positive, I agree. Especially given the fact that we now know that several have asked questions about it. The fact that they cannot even talk about Implant Sciences being in the same booth as L3 in a show that happened recently, and cannot answer any questions about L3, is a huge telling sign to me. I think they realize they need to be part of a large company now with the merger of the competition. The merger will lower the go to market cost for Smith's. To stay competitive they need to be part of a large entity at this point.
Maybe nothing was said about the financing expiring with platinum at the end of June because they don't see that as a relevant factor. Maybe they know the company will be sold long before then. Maybe they have even more than one deal on the table. But they cannot talk about anything until that happens.
Maybe somebody did ask about L3 in an email. But they are not able to discuss it at this point in time.
They are legally not allowed to talk about anything related to a buyout of the company. Perhaps they can't talk about the L3 partnership because it's tied to a buyout of the company.
Maybe that 'victory dance' has to do with the companies they are talking to about a company sale. Maybe it has to do with how well the process is going. The confidence sure comes from somewhere.
And let's not forget that the average ownership in private equity is five years and this has been eight years. You better believe they want a pay out soon.
Maybe it's a bidding war. ??
I agree, and anyone selling here is crazy. They could announce the sale Monday before the open and follow through with details after they announce the results at the close Monday.
I thought their numbers come out today after the close?
Nice, thanks for sharing. I did not see that today. Reading about the Board members, very impressive group.
