Buyout

Praying for a buyout! Just a disaster having funds locked up in this garbage.... linton has no credit to his name any more
Comment by Trevor876 on Jan 13, 2021 2:59pm
We all agree. This is gone far beyond rediculous. 
Comment by #chickendinner on Jan 13, 2021 3:21pm
Honestly starting to feel like they all went home and left it for dead, sold off 200,000 shares that I was breakeven on so far this week, have another 500,000 approx that I can pretty much break even on at .22, if there is no sign of life in the next 2 weeks I will sell those off and put the money somewhere else.  Have to sit on the other 800,000 and I still refuse to take the loss yet , ...more

Chickendinner: We have to keep in mind that someone is buying everything that you and others are selling. There have been many 100,000 trades where Anonymous has been on both sides of the trade.  So this is likely tree shaking to upset retail investors so that some entity can continue to aggregate at these levels.
Comment by #chickendinner on Jan 13, 2021 4:03pm
Hey Jack, I'm well aware of that.  There's no doubt that entities with large pockets have been accumulating.  Some will most likely do well on this if they are willing to hold for a few years.  Personally I've been in since day 1.  For all of last year I had significant money tied up in Martello doing nothing while other investments produced gains.  I invested ...more

Good things happen when you get rid of the linton name, just look at vireo. Guy does not even have the courtesy to reply back to emails. I have a hard time believing that people got a call from him. This company is a train wreck... in fact it’s the last time I am buying on the cad market
Comment by canyousayiii on Jan 13, 2021 6:50pm
Can one hope for a PFM like chart? A couple of years of lethargy paying off in the end? Recognizing that if we sold this now, it is not like we can easily hit multibaggers. TMG waking up. Talk about suffering of long time shareholders.
Comment by PatiencePays123 on Jan 13, 2021 8:05pm
Good point. Often times these microcaps go sleepy and instantly wake up and run after an event like a big contract or drill result announcement or something that instantly re rates the stock and wakes investors up. MTLO has done nothing but pretty much go sideways for the last 2 years (the sleepy phase). It needs a signifant event to rerate it. Big contract news, big milestone, or something of the ...more  
Comment by JackBNimble26 on Jan 14, 2021 8:19am
For the posters who stated that they had conversations with Linton, please reconfirm that you had such calls and provide more detail. I recall on one post reference was made as to why sell now when something big was going to happen in January. I know I should not be impatient because we are only mid month...
Comment by canyousayiii on Jan 14, 2021 8:26am
The poster suggested his impression from the alleged call that if one was to take a tax loss prior to year end, they may not be able to buy it back around the same levels within permited time to theorerically realize that loss. That was reading between the lines of allegedly what Linton said. So, take it for what it is, sometimes we let our mind go where we want it to go when listening to folk.
Comment by steevee84 on Jan 14, 2021 9:18am
I spoke with him and he said I could sell for tax loss season and rebuy in the new year "but might not like that". Again, like canyousayii said, it was a bit of reading between the lines with a lot of hope.
Comment by panapple42 on Jan 14, 2021 9:27am
I find it difficult to understand why/how anyone would reveal the contents of a personal phone call on an internet chat board.  Bizarre.  Totally Bizarre.  Who would do that?  Totally Bogus.
Comment by steevee84 on Jan 14, 2021 9:30am
why do you find that hard to believe? There was nothing personal about the call. I'm revealing the details of the phone call to other frustrated investors who may be interested in hearing about it.
Comment by panapple42 on Jan 14, 2021 9:32am
I guess I am old fashioned when it comes to discretion.
Comment by steevee84 on Jan 14, 2021 9:36am
not sure what there is to be discreet about with this company. I know myself, as well as every other frustrated investor would welcome ANY information weather it be directly from a news release or a phone call with Bruce. Just my opinion
Comment by Mikeyrob on Jan 14, 2021 9:45am
Yes,I'm sure people are really regretting selling mtlo at .21 cents lol As the news has been flooding out of the gate. Linton can Fuk right off
Comment by PatiencePays123 on Jan 14, 2021 9:59am
Doesnt he have another tech company going public or something i remember reading last year? If this is how he manages tech companys i wouldnt want to go near any other one of his.
Comment by Mikeyrob on Jan 14, 2021 10:06am
Any company tied to his name I would not touch. As for mtlo I see a bunch of reverse splits coming and a complete disregard for current shareholders. 
Comment by Ubetiam on Jan 14, 2021 10:19am
yep agree mick you are diff fuked !
Comment by jermoguy on Jan 14, 2021 12:02pm
This is my honest, personal perspective on this, so take it or leave it. I think I fell under the Bruce Linton aura of his success at Canopy and how he was down to earth on BNN interviews, and thought hey, if he can do that there, he can do that here.  Problem is, this is not the first time I have followed a personality into a stock. Years ago there was a newer company that dealt in a ...more  
Comment by PatiencePays123 on Jan 14, 2021 12:21pm
I disagree. He went on tv touting his newfound involvement in MTLO and that he would be more active. Today, this statement could be construed as a blatant lie to shareholders. Where is evidence of his more active involvement since July 2019? I certainly don't see it reflected in enhanced insider ownership or shareholder value creation. 
Comment by jermoguy on Jan 14, 2021 1:14pm
This is a fair point.  Even on whatever I have seen of him on BNN, he has been wearing the Gage Cannibis and Ruckify hats consistently.  I know it is a gimmick, but being on TV, he is not a dumb guy and knows the effect wearing the hat will elicit.  So I think you may be correct - wearing the Martello shirt or hat AND talking about the company during the same appearance (which he ...more  
Comment by PatiencePays123 on Jan 14, 2021 1:54pm
For sure. In any case, it isnt a good look on him at all to have another tech company going public while this one is trading at its lows.
Comment by canyousayiii on Jan 14, 2021 5:44pm
Sometimes it is the opportunity that is bigger than the person. Linton was not a newbie when he started Tweed. He was management in many companies. Tweed was a marijuana play breaking into legalization. Canopy did not do so well for all shareholders once MJ was legalized. Most of us have very little idea what MTLO does, especially in terms of what other options companies that buy licences have ...more  
Comment by Fundmental on Jan 14, 2021 6:40pm
Simple answer, its network monitoring- does that sound sexy? Linton is a pump and dumper, makes money for the guy who get in pre ipo...that's why he's wearing the hats...Martello is old news they have a boring administrator who's job it is to get the company going...only strategy is to name drop Microsoft 
Comment by canyousayiii on Jan 14, 2021 7:10pm
I figured with increase in remote working, surely there would be additional and different pressures on networks and peak functionality equals productivity. Yes, it did sound sexy. But if they are pitching it to companies and companies are not buying, then perhaps you shouldnt be dressing up sexy to go to church. Before investing and doing my dd, the high board and exec compensation concerned me ...more  
Comment by Fundmental on Jan 14, 2021 7:48pm
Yeah I've mentioned this on this board before but a lot seem to criticize me, even though they admitatly don't understand Martello's products.  What network are you monitoring, if everyone is working from home, from an office 365 perspective...teams has direct routing, so from the home directly to azure...only if the user is on the network can they simulate traffic to get quality ...more  
Comment by canyousayiii on Jan 14, 2021 8:19pm
Sadly I don't understand a thing. And have broken that rule of investing into something I don't know sufficiently. So, back to the original gamble that Matthews and Linton have sufficient high-tech knowledge to identify real needs and opportunities. Right now it looks like it really was a gamble.
Comment by Fundmental on Jan 14, 2021 8:32pm
Company was built on no gimic network voice monitoring solution that's where Terry's involvement was as was Bruce's... monitoring of 365 is valid, but don't know many people that would spend lots to accomplish this especially during work from home cause I certainly wouldn't let my company install on my home network some kind of agent to do the monitoring.
Comment by #chickendinner on Jan 14, 2021 8:34pm
In the last few months of the year all correspondence from MTLO was that the were laser focused on closing deals in the pipeline.  Mildly concerning that there has been no business updates, first to week of the year have now passed and silence.... Really hoping they are silently working on a merger or a whale of a deal.  Sold another 100,000 shares this morning, just like the 100 ...more  
Comment by Ubetiam on Jan 14, 2021 12:25pm
I agree cause that is really the only reason why I came in and have regretted it ever since..live and learn I guess..
