FogOfWar, I am optimistic about this company.
Award Issue: This can be explained a few ways but I think someone already covered it. Perhaps IEEE sent them a replacement award. Perhaps this segment of IEEE is so tiny that they are not globally known and therefore this award cannot be proven or disproven and appears to be smoke and mirrors to bashers. To me it is a way to recognize someone within your organization. I don't care if Downs issued the award to the CTO himself.
For Real?: Are you serious about this question? I mean we all know about Downs past but come on, what could possibly indicate that this is a complete scam? Nothing bashers have stated on this board has been proven with evidence. Most items have been refuted with facts. For real, give us a break.
Opportunity:
1. Potential dividend valued at $0.80 to $1.00 for spin off of a percentage of the Homeland Security division. Ok there is a chance this could be 100% restricted shares of some pinksheet shell company. But there is also a chance that this could be 100% unrestricted shares of a OTCBB. Or it could be partially cash and partially restricted/unrestricted shares. Either way you look at it on the day of the dividend shareholders will be handed value in some form. Its all a gamble in whether it will pay off or not. I believe the portion they are keeping includes the encryption technology that was previously dicussed on this board. Some say it is cutting edge and others say it is ancient. I'm no techie so I can't say for sure, but either way it is something real. Value = $0.20
2. www.995ad.com. There are alot of naysayers on this board but to me the site is running well for its short existence. Sure, they could have stood it up faster and it could be better (when compared to eBay and Autotrader), but imagine the costs involved with doing that. I would prefer to build the site slow and steady rather then dive deep into debt hoping that the site will pay off over time. There is a potential for spinoff once this site is up and running as planned. Still several parts that need to be completed before then, but don't lose site of that. Value = $0.20
3. Datacenters and Callcenters. This is the outsourcing business that we know very little about. If I were involved with packing up operations and moving them overseas to save money on labor I would keep that to myself as well. The fact of the matter is that there is alot of money to be made thru outsourcing operations. No minimum wages, people work for half the price compared to here in the states, and there is little to no regulation of how much medical coverage you need to provide. Good source of revenues. Value = $0.20
4. Biometrics product. Even less known about this to date. Some claim this is new technology that will lead the way in the future while others called it a kitchen table operation. Either way, even if it is just an idea on paper for a cool and inovative product I know of several PK stocks with far less potential trading at $0.05. Value = $0.05
5. There are some very small business units within this organization that one can only guess about. This includes the likes of the fishing lures and the ring tones and the CD creation. These could just be shells or they could actually be making a little money for the company, one can only speculate. But again I know of several PK holding companies with less potential. Value = $0.05
So let's see $0.20 + $0.20 + $0.20 + $0.05 + $0.05 = $0.70. Oh yeh, that's why I bought this one at $0.14. Sure, I sold some on the last run to take my investment out, but I am riding the rest to at least the value of this company. I could be wrong though so let's just say the company is only worth $0.50 instead of $0.70. Still a chance to double from here.
