got an e-mail back from michael shores... we're still on... just delayed!
Hi Carlos,
Actually it’s taking quite a bit longer than we had anticipated as well. I do not know if you saw that the amended 14A was filed and we are currently responding to additional SEC comments and hope to have this over with soon BUT I could not / would not commit to a firm date as I do not actually know.
Good news is that the transaction IS moving forward just taking longer than we all had thought it would so sorry for delay…
is there a symbol for txp ?
Posted by carlos6466 on :
not yet... you will still find it under smkt... finance.yahoo.com will tell you what it changed to once the merger is complete...

Thanks for the update, I was just wondering about that one this morning!
Posted by carlos6466 on :
something to think about...
many will try to guess when this thing will be finished, meaning, sell their shares, hope that it drops in price, and then buy it back, lower...
you might time it right, and you might not! just to let you know, i'm holding... if it drops, i'll try to find a bottom and buy more, averaging down! i'm in this for TXP, not SMKT... we don't know when the merger is going to happen and if you miss it, you'll kick yourself...
of course, if you time it right, you'll make a lot more money... just something to think about!
remember when people bought K-Mart stock when it filed for BK? all those shares became worthless and K-Mart reorganized into a new company called K-Mart Holdings Corporations... some thought buying the shares really cheap was the way to make a quick buck! they were wrong...
good luck!

WHY WOULD A COMPANY LIKE TXP MERGE WITH SMKT??
THERE REAL DIFFERENT COMPANYS
WHATS THEIR PLAN?
Posted by cweston on :
SMKT is a shell...no revenue and no business prospects. TXP is merging with this shell company because TXP wants to go public. TXP was originally going to go straight to the nas but realized this was a more cost effective way to go public. Once merger is complete SMKT will not exist at all and the ticker symbol will be changed to reflect the TXP company.
Posted by cweston on :
Basically you would be buying SMKT to be a part of TXP before they go public. TXP is already doing business with the big names in the business....Texas Instruments, Dell, Cisco

IS SMKT WELL KNOWN
Posted by cweston on :
I know when this news originally came out SMKT stock exploded. I believe it went from close to sub penney to close to .06. It has held in the .03 range for quite a while. In my opinion SMKT is only well known because of the pending merger with TXP. TXP is definitely well known in the business here is a full list of the big names that are clients of TXP... XTera Avaya Intel Fossil Fujitsu Hp Abbott Labs Navini Dell Alcatel TelStaat AFC Texas Instruments Efficient Networks Raytheon ST Micro Technologies Cisco Siemens Ericsson Samsung
As you can see when TXP is publicly traded this could possibly be a gigantic play. Thats why I am in before merger complete.
Posted by johnny14511 on :
we should call txp and ask them when they will eventually merge
Posted by johnny14511 on :
just send an email to the company
Posted by carlos6466 on :

Some movement today.
If anyone has been following this, you'll see that the swings over the last few months have bottomed out at .03 consistently.
Strong company, nice stock, at the very least a good swing play. The L2s are looking strong right now as well, imo.
Posted by Akira_Lapin on :
NITE just moved from .032 to .039 on the ask. Good sign.
Posted by Stock_Analyzer on :
yes this is a cup and handle formation as smkt is trying to find a base at .03 range here I have tried to post a chart in a PM but it wont let me as i have been banned from doing PMs. Let me know if you get this ok
Posted by carlos6466 on :
great looking chart, SA... i think the merger is really close, so, imo, we should start seeing a slow and steady climb... i'd like to see between $0.08 to $0.10 pre-merger...
Posted by Akira_Lapin on :
I second you there, Carlos. Looking forward to it. I think this is going to be nice.
Posted by smoky on :
