ParkerVision, Inc. (PRKR)

worst 30days caps

I can wait.

An almost worthless stock and one of the most fascinating scams in stock market history. Management has artfully managed to sell "the sizzle" by promising that it discovered a major breakthrough more than a decade ago yet it has never produced a meal: no revenues, no earnings and its price/sales ratio is astronomical.

But don't be too sure that you can bring your red thumb to the bank any time soon. A review of the scorecard for this stock over the past few years reveals an erratic price history in which some red thumbs -- and some green thumbs'' have done well while others have done poorly.

Of course, in the long run the market will expose this sham. But a cynic might also remind us that, in the long run, we'll all be dead.

Thus it is with my eyes wide open that I can't resist shorting this stock anyway.

Lots of others have outlined the reasons... and you should go read that Barrons article.

Too many larger and better capitollized companies with better technology means, at least to me anyway, this puppy won't last in its present form and probably won't get bought by anyone either.

Stock literally has zero value. Market will eventually figure this out. D2D has no advantage over existing receiver technology and D2P doesn't work. No revenues (from D2D or D2P) for last 17 years, CameraMan division sold for huge loss in 2004, and no future. Company management is great - at propping up stock stock and nothing else.

No revenue, no profit. I have to agree with the Fools on this one.

A garbage stock with no real products. This is such an obvious short. Who would own this thing after the Barron's article?

If a stock is going to zero, it doesn't matter if you get in at 20, 10, or 5, you're still going to make 100%.

down $2 to $7

Following StatsGeek on this. Looks like a good bet to underperform: 51 employees making $89K revenue doesn't strike me as sustainable. No debt, $19M in cash is good, but considering operating losses of $23M, $23M, and $17M (rounded) the past three years, it doesn't look like the cash will be there much longer. And they will probably have a tough time finding lenders to keep them going. Best hope is to be bought out, but what do they have to sell?

Good God, a stock with a price somehow around its 52W high and such stats!
I'm not even to deeper analysis, as all the bets become against PRKR as soon as you take a look at the coefficients, among which zero debts and overall positive movement along the last year seem to be the only brighter points.

This is a small company with virtually no revenue, but that might just be about to break big. They own intellectual property for wireless radio frequency (RF) technology for use in 3G phones. Its primary target customers are top tier mobile handset manufacturers.

Fraudulent technology

CEO has traveled extensively over the past few months to Finland, Sweden, and Japan. Major contracts with large hardware manufacturers are about to be signed.

This is a scam. I have followed PRKR for years, (since o/a 1996) when it used to be a video camera company ("technology" which they abandoned). They have never had significant revenue, and their "chip technology" is suspect, if not criminal. There are better long term investments.

The company might have breakthrough technology, but I certainly don’t see any breakthrough profits anytime soon. PRKR has survived because it has issued new stock in almost every year of its existence. This can not continue indefinitely. Or can it? After all, this is Wall Street we’re talking about!

TMFEldrehad's pitch

Unique technology, could be a big winner
