Einstiegschance bei "Taser" ? - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[turbozertifikat]

Was meint ihr kann, sollte Mann(Frau)bei Taser zugreifen, gestern 14% grün ???

[bull75]

Hi!

warum willst Du gerade nach +14% einsteigen?
TASR pendelt die Tage stark rauf und runter..
m.M. nach würde ich Dir raten, den nächsten DownMove
abzuwarten und im Bereich 27$ einsteigen (mittlefristig).

TASR bringt alle paar Wochen ne Meldung mit neuem
Auftrag..eignet sich daher auch hervorragend zum Traden.

Achtung: KGV sehr hoch!..ist schon reichlich Zukunftsphantasie eingepreisst.
und regelmäßig schlechte Presse bzgl. negativer Gesundheitsauswirkungen durch Anwendung der Waffe!!

hoffe Dir ein wenig weitergeholfen zu haben..

LG..Bull75 (buy low..sell high) :-)

Danke Dir bull75

Und noch eine gute Nachricht:
09-15-04 12:49 PM EST
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (Dow Jones)--The U.K. government will allow police forces in England and Wales to use Taser International Inc.`s (TASR) M26 stun weapons, following successful limited trials.

In a press release Wednesday, the maker of stun devices largely for the law enforcement and corrections market said the trials showed the risk of death from the weapons was very low.

Other than the U.S., Taser said Canada is the only other country that had allowed full deployment of Taser`s stun devices in law enforcement. Taser currently sells the devices to police forces in several countries, but on a limited basis.

With England emerging as a new market for Taser`s stun products, other countries may follow suit.

The spokesman said potential full approvals to authorize police use of the devices in Germany, France, New Zealand and Australia were hinging on results from the U.K. study.

Five police forces were testing the Taser M26 weapons since April 2003 as authorities evaluated medical and safety concerns, as well as its use as a supplemental option to other restraint devices such as dogs or pepper spray.

The Taser spokesman said it doesn`t have an estimate of how much potential revenue the approval could generate because orders from other British police forces weren`t being solicited.

Viel Glück allen Taser investierten, heute noch mal XX % im grünen Bereich geschlossen

[muycaro]

Ich habe mir gestern Morgen ein paar aufgrund der News und charttechnischer Gründe ins Depot gelegt - hätte nicht gedacht, dass ich nach einem (overall-market-down-the-crapper)-Tag schon über 20% im Plus wäre...

Vor allem der Trading-Halt um 11 Uhr rum hatte mich doch etwas irritiert. Wollte direkt danach eigentlich schon raus (Tageshoch), aber mein Broker liess die Order nicht ins System eingeben "Wertpapier wurde vom Handel ausgesetzt", obwohl sie schon längst wieder gehandelt wurden. Nach einem Anruf wieder freigeschaltet, dann doch behalten, da in der Zeit $2 zurückgefallen.

Ich bin mal gespannt, ob heute noch Power dahinter ist nach nem 21%+ Tag. Shortposition (August) lag bei ca. 15 Millionen Aktien, was 79% des Floats entspricht (beachte aber Volumen gestern, was ein vielfaches der Gesamtaktienanzahl betrug), daher vielleicht noch ein weiterer Squeeze durch Margin Calls bei Retail Shorts?!

Taser ist an sich ein gutes Unternehmen mit einem innovatiben Produkt am Anfang seines Lebenszyklus. Allerdings vergleicht man die aktuellen Sales mit der Marktkapitalisierung wird man erkennen, dass Taser nicht mehr wirklich billig auf diesem Niveau ist.
Ebenfalls sollte man die Konkurrenz bei General Dynamics nicht ausser acht lassen, die ein ähnliches System entwickeln, was aber einige Vorteile birgt.
Dies heisst nicht, dass es kein Potential mehr gibt (eventuell kommen demnächst Meldungen, dass andere Länder auch jede Menge Taser bestellen wollen), allerdings ist Taser auf diesem Niveau für mich ein klarer Trade mit dynamisch nachrückendem Stop Loss (offensichtlich nicht zu eng, da man sonst aufgrund der Vola innerhalb von wenigen Minuten ausgestoppt werden kann).

Viel Glück Euch allen.

[muycaro]

Bin gerade wieder raus. M.E. nach ist Taser ein solides Unternehmen, allerdings halte ich die Bewertung derzeit für zu hoch (kann sich natürlich ändern sollten die nächsten Monate/Jahre endlich substanzielle Umsätze ausserhalb der USA erzielt werden).
Fazit: Gute Aktie zum traden (volatil), allerdings momentan etwas hoch bewertet (aus meiner Sicht).

Viel Glück Euch weiterhin.

@marterpfahl

ob bei ughho ein ähnlicher kursverlauf stattfindet wie bei tasr zweifel ich an. kenn zwar die fundamentals überhaupt nicht (hör die aktie heute das erste mal) aber tasr hat sich vom kursverlauf systematisch in einer stetigen aufwärtsbewegung entwickelt.
ugho dagegen wurde schon einmal bei 25$ gehandelt. hier handelt es sich um einen ausgebombten wert, bei denen der kurseinbruch oft nicht umsonst stattgefunden hat. nur in den seltensten fällen findet bei solchen kursverläufen ein turnaround statt.

Taser: Gewinne mit Betäubungspistolen

Von Christoph Amberger

Es gibt Neuigkeiten zu Taser (Nasdaq: TASR), deren Kurs seit April von 33 Dollar auf 43 Dollar gestiegen ist. Nur einen Tag, nachdem die Firma vermeldete, dass sie drei neue Großaufträge von den Police-Departments in Louisville, Long Beach und Miami-Dade County erhalten hat, konnte man verkünden, dass Großbritannien die Nutzung der Taser-Betäubungspistolen für einige Polizeistationen in England und Wales genehmigt hat.

Aber es gibt noch mehr. Die Gesellschaft hat auch das sogenannte Taser X26C Citizen Defense System gestartet. Dieses System kann man nur über die Homepage www.taser.com kaufen. Laut Berichten hat es eine geringere Maximalreichweite von rund 5 Metern, verglichen mit dem X26er System, das auf eine Maximalreichweite von ca. 7 Metern kommt.

Das sind großartige Neuigkeiten. Ich sehe keinen Grund zu verkaufen - ich würde Taser-Aktien langfristig halten.

@DeltaComet,

Na, dann guck dir UGHO mal genauer an !
Hier der 2 Jahres Chart:



Wann stand der Kurs bei 25 $ ?

Die Firma entwickelt mit ihren diversen Töchtern Konkurrenzprodukte zu Taser und steht hiermit an einem vielversprechenden Anfang. Außerdem sind sie in anderen Feldern der Homeland security tätig. Die Management-Crew setzt sich zusammen aus ehemaligen Regierungsberatern und z.B. Lockheed-Managern.
Ausgebombt war die Aktie nie, aber es ist zru Zeit sicher ein spekulatives Investment. Was gestern aber in USA abging, ist mit den Anfängen des taser-Booms vergleichbar.
Der Freefloat ist übrigens ähnlich niedrig!

da sieht mann das die von 25$ kommt.

[marterpfahl]

@DeltaComet !

Da hast du doch noch was übersehen !

UGHO wurde als börsennotierte Holding erst im November/Dezember 2002 gegründet, durch Übernahme einer anderen AG namens Hollywood Partners inc.
Mit dieser Übernahme stieg der Kurs rapide von 0,30 auf 3-4 $ an ! Du kannst die Kurse vorher (nach Going public von Hollywood Partners waren sie in der tat so um die 25 $) nicht mit UGHO in Verbindung bringen !

Gucks dir mal genau an, vielleicht wagst du ja etwas von deinem Taer-Gewinn, ich denke, es wird sich kurz-, mittel- und langfristig lohnen !

Universal Guardian Corporation (UG), is positioned to be a key player in the Defense and Homeland Security markets worldwide. UG provides Security Assessments, Risk Analysis, and Advanced Security Solutions to military, government and commercial markets on a global basis. The Company is currently providing its products and services to the United States military to protect its most important assets around the world. The Company offers its customers a wide range of innovative security solutions combining cost effectiveness and ease of integration through its five strategic corporate divisions: Security Assessment and Tactics Group, Maritime Security Group, Non-Maritime Security Group, Special Weapons Group, and Security Technologies and Engineering Group. UG is rapidly penetrating the expanding threat mitigation, anti-terrorism and critical infrastructure protection markets and has already established itself as a premier provider of anti-terrorism, threat analysis services and security solutions to the U.S. Navy.

UG acquired public status via a share exchange agreement with an existing public entity late Q42002 and trades on the NASDAQ OTC:BB under the symbol UGHO. There are currently 15,166,670 shares outstanding. Company principals own approximately 80% of all outstanding corporate shares. The Company is presently pursuing a Series A Preferred Share offering. The use of funds includes: research and development, establishment of credit facilities, sales and marketing and general working capital.

Market Overview

The recent terrorist attacks against the USS Cole, the Pentagon and the World Trade Center made apparent vast vulnerabilities in the methods and systems used to protect homeland assets and assets abroad. The need to detect, accurately identify and mitigate security risks requires immediate and effective security solutions. UG’s comprehensive suite of proprietary and patented anti-terrorism, law enforcement military force protection and security solutions provide the United States and other governments with the tools necessary to significantly deter critical infrastructure security risks.

Presidential Decision Directive (PDD63) directs the United States Congress and other Federal agencies to fund Critical Infrastructure Protection and Counter Terrorism, Anti-Terrorism and Force protection to oversee the nation’s assets.

Alongside PDD63, the newly formed Homeland Security office has focused priorities towards security concerns and subsequently provided an increased budget allocated for Military, Federal and State security purchases. With the availability of these substantially increased funds, the National Command Authority and related organizations are looking for immediate providers of comprehensive, integrated security solutions.

To ensure that UG methodologies and technologies are consistent with present and near term Governmental needs, Company executive and Board members have conducted several meetings with senior Pentagon, White House and Homeland Security principals, resulting in the unanimous response that UG indeed has those much needed solutions and the team to professionally and strategically deploy them.

The Universal Guardian Technology Advantage

UG technologies provide unparalleled surveillance, detection and response capabilities for a variety of security applications. The company`s C2 Command and Control systems integrate data streams from multiple sources, addressing U.S. government requirements for an interoperable, integrated and synchronous detection and response platform. These intelligent systems allow large volumes of data to be concurrently analyzed with little human intervention and feature intuitive user environments that provide automatic threat notification and recommended response solutions. Furthermore, it allows operators, commanders, and intelligence officials around the world to securely collaborate in real-time using satellite linked, web-based Geo-SpatialTM multi-dimensional visualization technologies.

UG Command and Control systems are being purchased by the U.S. Navy to secure and protect critical assets in United States and around the world.

Strategic and Tactical Security Group

The Strategic and Tactical Security Group conducts Security Assessment and Vulnerability Evaluations (SAVE) that provide customers with complete security solutions tailored to match their individual environmental and budgetary requirements. Conducted by career anti-terrorism and security experts, the proprietary "SAVE" process identifies and mitigates areas of vulnerability and recommends appropriate solutions for immediate and follow-on security improvements.

UG`s SAVE process is complemented by a proprietary software package (validated by U.S. Government security agencies) that ensures rapid and accurate report generation. Each customer receives a Security Improvement Baseline Report and a comprehensive Executive Security Report, both of which meet stringent government reporting standards.

The SAVE process also provides a program plan for ongoing systems diagnostics, cyber security, network security, information warfare and corporate profiling. This ensures the long-term safety of the information and physical assets within an organization, and effectively positions UG as the ideal provider of follow on security services and technology solutions.

The Strategic and Tactical Security Group provides another critical and unique service: the Aggressor Intrusion Survey. Utilizing the extensive experience of former Navy SEAL and SWAT professionals, the goal of the Aggressor Intrusion Survey is to test existing security measures by physically penetrating them. Once existing security measures have been stress-tested, vulnerabilities are identified and necessary improvements are recommended. Arguably, no other company is better suited to understand the impact and application of technology on counter terrorism than UG.

The Strategic and Tactical Security Group`s first-hand anti-terrorist expertise provides UG with distinct competitive advantages, and allows the company`s solutions and technologies to be field tested in the real world. This exhaustive "real life" testing provides unique insight into how the company`s products will perform outside of laboratory simulations.

Maritime Security Group

Universal Guardian`s Maritime Security Group provides integrated maritime security systems, products and services. The Company`s wholly owned subsidiary, The Harbour Group, Inc., currently markets, installs, and maintains UG Waterside Security Systems™, UG Unmanned Underwater Vehicles, and Anti-swimmer systems. The Harbour Group is currently installing and maintaining port and harbor security systems that protect the U.S. Navy`s most critical assets around the world. The Harbor Group and its UG Waterside Security System™ are major components of the Navy`s Critical Infrastructure Protection program. NATO countries have now begun to express significant interest in UG’s waterside security system as the U.S Navy begins installations abroad.

Designed as the centerpiece for surveillance and security operations, the Universal Guardian Waterside Security System™ fuses inputs from a variety of sensors, including video, SONAR, RADAR, thermal imagers, and others. These signals are analyzed and displayed on a large flat screen console, providing the system operator with the best available information.

The Harbour Group`s position as the Navy`s preferred vendor for waterside security solutions has produced approximately $20 million in contracts to secure the first eight U.S. Navy harbor installations. The U.S. Navy program plan calls for UG Harbour Group to equip eight (8) additional harbors resulting in an estimated $15 - $18 million in additional revenues, positioning the Harbour Group as the clear leader in harbor and port surveillance, detection and response technologies. In addition, the U.S. Coast Guard is considering UG`s Waterside Security Systems to protect its most valuable assets.

Technology Group

The Universal Guardian Technology Group provides security hardware, software and systems. Included are advanced command and control systems such as UG Waterside Security System™ and UG Mobile C2 Vehicles. The UG Technology Group also provides integration, installation and maintenance of these systems worldwide.

Universal Guardian C2 Security Systems provide advanced surveillance, detection, command, control, and communications capabilities. The primary function of these systems is the rapid delivery of critical information to key decision makers for analysis and response.

The system also incorporates advanced capabilities for pattern recognition and threat detection. When a possible threat is detected, the system will alert security personnel at multiple locations, eliminating single points of failure. According to a senior National Security Counsel (NSC) official, this system is positioned to play an integral role in the White House`s NSC Intelligence System.

Special Weapons Group

Universal Guardian`s Special Weapons Group provides weapons platforms that are designed to meet existing and future military and law enforcement use of force requirements. The Special Weapons Group provides military and law enforcement commanders with a variety of offensive and defensive options to address appropriate threat conditions.

Professional and consumer markets are increasingly demanding more effective methods to defuse civil unrest and subdue criminals without causing permanent injury to law enforcement personnel, innocent bystanders, or criminals. With 4.9 million police officers worldwide (over 900,000 in the United States alone as of 1999), the potential market for less lethal and non-lethal products is large and well defined.

The utilization of less lethal and non-lethal weapons can help prevent the escalation of minor disturbances into full-blown riots; reducing deaths, damage, and conflict. Non-lethal weapons enhance military capabilities by enabling the application of proportionate, appropriate force. This tactical flexibility ensures that the delicate balance between mission accomplishment, force protection, public opinion, and proper response remains stable. The Company will leverage its professional use credibility by military and law enforcement organizations to develop commercial and consumer non-lethal markets.

UG develops and markets Special Operations weapons and complimentary products designed for use in environments where mobility, accuracy, and dependability are paramount. These weapons are marketed and sold to organizations such as U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) and Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) by Universal Guardian`s team of experienced Special Operations professionals.

Management

The Company’s Management, Boards of Directors and Advisors have extensive command and leadership experience in military, law enforcement, advanced technologies, international business practices and White House administration. Senior Management also has special operations, counter terrorism, weaponry and security technology experience.

Management and Board members have held positions of Chief Executive and Chief Operating Officers in the private sector, as well as Military and law enforcement assignments including: Vice Admiral and Director of the U.S. Navy’s Office of Naval Intelligence, Rear Admiral and Commander of U.S. Naval Special Warfare (SEALs and Special Boat Units), Major General and Director of U.S. Air Force Intelligence, Commander of Atlantic Special Operations Command, Chief of Police, Navy Seal Commanding Officer, SWAT Commander, Command Pilot, Law Enforcement Captain, Navy Captain, FBI Instructor and Chemical Agents Instructor.

It’s the Management’s firm belief that their long-standing relationships with high-level officials in the military and government and national law enforcement agencies will promote the rapid adoption of the Company’s products and services.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TASER International (Nachrichten), a market leader in advanced less-lethal devices, announced today that the Company has declared a 2-for-1 stock split effective in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend payable on or about November 29, 2004, to shareholders of record on November 15, 2004.

Und schon die nächste gute Nachricht:

WASHINGTON Nov 8, 2004 — Korean Air is the first airline granted permission by the federal government to carry electric stun guns aboard jetliners that fly within U.S. airspace.

The Transportation Security Administration last week approved Korean Air`s request to carry "Tasers," agency spokesman Mark Hatfield said Monday. The weapon, made by Taser International Inc., gives off a jolt of electricity that incapacitates the victim.

Korean Air has been using Tasers on flights outside the United States for several years, airline spokeswoman Penny Pfaelzer said.

The airline has 50 flights a week to the United States.


Business Anticipates a Boost From Bush Win
`Working Wounded`: Composing Cover Letters
Dow Closes Up 4, Nasdaq Ends Unchanged
Hatfield said Korean Air was the only airline so far to submit an application to use Tasers.

Taser International Inc.`s stock price on the Nasdaq exchange jumped on the news by more than 20 percent, or $9.67, to $56.16.

In recent months, the company has secured big orders from the Army National Guard and major U.S. police departments. Tasers also were approved in September by police forces throughout England and Wales.

Pilots on U.S. airlines are allowed to carry handguns if they undergo special training. Thousands have done so, although the exact number is classified.

USA Today first reported that Korean Air was given permission to use Tasers.

Einer der heißesten Werte vor Weihnachten ist bestimmt TASER, einerseits weil das Unternehmen sehr stark im Bereich "homeland security" tätig ist, dann Lieferant für Militär und Polizei.....

Taser ist eine Aktie mit einem hohen Moneyflow. Interessant ist auch, das Sie am 29.11.04 splitten werden. Das wird wieder ein klassischer Split and Run werden.

Ich sehe das Unternehmen absolut unterbewertet. Der Markt wird sich weiterhin positiv entwicklen. Mein Preisziel für die nächsten 5 Jahre liegt bei 1000 $ pro Aktie.

TASER wird zukünftig fast alle Airline ausrüsten.

Gigantisches Potential und das Unternehmen ist sehr stark im Fokus der amerikanischen Anleger, d.h. hohes tägliches Handelsvolumen.

Avoid Laggard Breakouts And Favor 2nd Buys
BY JONAH KERI

INVESTOR`S BUSINESS DAILY

The market`s three-month rally picked up steam last week, as the Nasdaq surged another 2.3%. But while the gains continued, smart investors had already started altering their buying strategy.

At the start of a new rally, the best stocks blast out of well-formed bases in heavy volume. The ones with the biggest upside tend to be first- and second-stage bases, still in the early stages of their run-up.

But as a rally matures, the tenor of breakouts starts to change. Stocks that haven`t broken out yet are now lagging their more powerful peers by several months. Since one of the cardinal rules of successful investing is to buy leaders, not laggards, it doesn`t make sense to pursue stocks still stuck in neutral.

With that in mind, we direct your attention to stocks forming second-stage bases, as well as those pulling back to provide follow-on buy opportunities. Some of the most powerful stocks on the IBD 100 have flashed this kind of action.

Online travel services provider Travelzoo (TZOO) had already forged a big run-up when it dropped into a new pattern in late September. That fresh consolidation lasted just over five weeks, making it a tough place at which to take a new position. But those who held Travelzoo on the way up could have added shares successfully Nov. 1.

Less-lethal weapon maker Taser International (TASR) also formed an atypical pattern. But its big moves Nov. 4 and Nov. 8 offered fresh buy opportunities for investors looking to nab the leading stock.

Several stocks have formed similar patterns lately, offering follow-up buy chances. Keep an eye on Amex-traded flak jacket maker DHB Industries. (DHB) After a breakaway gap Nov. 4, the stock has pulled back and may be forming a second handle.

Meanwhile homebuilder Meritage (MTH) may be forming a three-weeks-tight pattern after its huge breakout on Oct. 26.

[leimenbo]

Noch ein interessanter Aspekt Taser zu kaufen.
Taser splittet am 29.11 1:1
und gibt dann als bonus eine Aktie dazu.
Ich hoffe doch ,daß einige am 15.11 im Orderbuch sind,denn nur dann gilt dieser Deal

[telltom]

Noch ein paar interessante aspekte, warum man engagiert sein sollte:

Ein Freund von mir am Münchner Airport meinte zu mir, das Schußwaffen von privaten Bewachungsdiensten sehr eingeschränkt eingesetzt werden. Am Airport darf das nur der Zoll und die Polizei.

Allerdings wird geprüft, die Taser Waffen einzustzen. Denke, das der Security Markt weltweit erhebliches Potential hat.

Und Taser Waffen strecken Personen nieder, ohne Sie zu töten. Das werden die Waffen der Zukunft sein.

Dieser Markt hat erhebliches Potenzial.

Ganz zu vergessen, das die Aktie wie schon erwähnt, splitten wird. Für eine gehaltene alte Aktie bekommt man 2 Neue.

TASR ist ein hochinteressantes Investment und ich denke, das wir noch eine unglaubliche Rallye erleben werden.

Ich denke noch weiter. Gerade dieser Monat und die kommenden Monate werden dafür sorgen, das wir im März 2005 noch mal einen Split erleben.

TASR ist im extremen Fokus der amerikanischen Anleger und wird weiter performen wie zB Google, Travelzoo usw...

Das interessante ist auch die noch geringe Bewertung mit unter 2 Mrd. Dollar....

Faire Bewertung wäre bei mindesten 7 - 8 Mrd. $. Mit Taser wächst ein neuer gigantischer Konzern heran.

Taser ist für mich ein Basic Investment und der Grund früher in Rente zu gehen........

Auf jeden Fall ist Taser interessanter als unser allseits geliebtes Witwenpapier Siemens und Co.

[telltom]

Die Marktkapitalisierung ist immer noch gering im Vergleich zu irrwitzigen Werten wie bei Google und Travelzoo.

Schaut Euch die letzten Zahlen von Taser an im Vergleich zum Vorjahr. Über 600 % Umsatzanstieg, das bedeutet, das die Geschäfte von Taser hervorragend laufen.

Desweiteren ist ein Gerücht im Markt, das General Dynamics
Taser aufkaufen will.

Hier ist noch viel Phantasie drin. Ich erwarte vor dem 29.11. also vor dem Split, Kurse zwischen 80 $ und 120 $.

Danach wird die Rallye weitergehen und im März wird weiter gesplittet.

Solange die Umsätze stimmen und vor allem die Story wird es weitergehen.

Taser wird uns die nächsten 10 JAHRE beschäftigen. Was mich wundert ist, das Zeitschriften wie Der Aktionär, Effektenspiegel und Co. diesen Wert noch ignorieren.

Taser wird entweder aufgekauft oder die Story wird sich ähnlich fortsetzen wie bei DELL, Microsoft usw.....

What it has done in the past 2 weeks has been three steps forward and one step back for consolidations of the shorts. Life can not get any better for this Company. It is going internationally on four corner of the Globe in the next few quarters. I have miss many opportunities like Microsoft, Jabil Circuit, Ebay, Google, Yahoo, Amazon, and Qualcom. This will be the news for the investment community in the next few years. Wait and you`ll see!!!

Good Luck to all you smart investor!!!

What`s Next for This $200 Stock?

By Roger Nusbaum
November 15, 2004

This is yet another article about that one stock trading around $200 per share that was a fairly recent IPO. The price has gone up so fast that I find myself mesmerized by the way it trades. I am, of course, talking about Chicago Mercantile Exchange Holdings (NYSE: CME). Were you expecting some other stock?

Actually, Chicago Merc is not that recent of an IPO; it debuted in December 2002 at about $43 per share and has almost quintupled to $209. Wow!

I was quite proud of myself when I bought it at $48 and got stopped out at $84 in the summer of 2003. Er, uhm, I only left 125 points on the table. I wildly underestimated the stock`s potential: my loss.

In trying to pick apart the numbers, most Fools should like the 30% return on equity, the 27% profit margin, and a history of excellent earnings growth. But -- and you knew there was a but or two coming -- Chicago Merc trades at nine times its book value and 10 times sales, and the PEG ratio is above two.

It is logical to think that a stock that has gone up so much would have very high valuations. So what to do now? I believe the reason the stock has done so well is because there has been more demand among professional investors for the type of derivative products traded on the Merc. Hedge funds are one source of order flow, and some reports have hedge fund assets at almost $1 trillion and growing. Another source of demand is from retail brokerage firms, as more products are created to offer clients alternative investments such as managed futures.

One simple way to think about buying a stock is to try to gauge the demand for its product. I wrote about this in June regarding Taser (Nasdaq: TASR). I see a lot of parallels to the stock action between Taser and Chicago Merc, except that Taser has significantly outperformed. Both stocks have high valuations, but there is clearly demand for the product that`s easy to understand.

Even though there is demand for derivative products traded at the Merc, you should be mindful that the stock has gone parabolic. The risk is obviously high, and this type of stock is not for the faint of heart.

Hallo -

was denkt Ihr wie weit es noch runter gehen wird.
Ich denke bis 35,00 EURO - was ist eure Meinung??

Will gern noch mal nachkaufen

Danke für Antworten!!!

[copitz001]

War das der Tiefpunkt bei TASER? Der Kursrutsch kam doch nur, da es Gratisaktien am Montag geben soll im Verhälnis 1:1

Hat denn keiner eine Meinung dazu

[Macros]

Achso deshalb der Rutsch um 50% nach unten oder wie? Oder sind das falsche Daten die ich hier sehe?

Gruss
Macros

[copitz001]

Ist wegen des Aktiensplitts..........

Aber schon wieder knapp 9% im Plus und jetzt wo Taser so billig ist, wird es wieder richtig abgehen

[Macros]

Danke für die Info
Kann sein das sie weiter steigt. Sei dir nur immer im klaren das die Aktie total überbewertet ist.
Aber der Markt bestimmt ja den Preis.

Wünsch dir viel erfolg weiterhin

Hier müßte doch was gehen, kurz vor Weihnachten. Jeder Ami will ja ne Waffe haben und die ist doch bestens geeignet.
Kein großer Schaden beim "rumballern" und kostet keine Patronen. Ich denke kurz vor Weihnachten kommt die richtig in die Hufe..lets see

[copitz001]

ich denke jetzt war es der Tiefpunkt nach dem Splitt gewesen - hier geht es vor Weihnachten ruckzuck auf 31 EURO und der handel steigt ja auch wieder.

Also ein Schnäppchen zu dem Preis von heute - jetzt die nächsten tage nur noch aufwärts und wer Taser kennt oder sich mal den Chart betrachtet, der weiß was für Sprünge hier möglich sind

[doc.snyder]

Bin seit kurzer Zeit investiert - m.E. stimmt der Chart und wir stehen kurz vor einem weiteren massiven Ausbruch nach oben -> short squeeze-Fantasie !!.

Suche jedoch Calls - finde keine in Deutschland handelbaren. Weis jemand mehr ??

Dank und gruß - doc.

[leimenbo]

Wann gibt es eigentlich die versprochenen Gratisaktien
von Taser?
Bei Cortal Consors zumindest noch nicht eingetroffen.
Habt Ihr schon welche?

[copitz001]

#leim - also bei mir waren die am nächsten Morgen eingebucht

Hat denn hier keiner mehr was zu sagen

Das ist doch einer der traurigsten threads in WO

[turbozertifikat]

Das Problem muss bei Deiner Bank liegen, denn ich hab sie auch gleich nach 2 Tagen im Depo gutgeschrieben gehabt.
Bei Taser sollte man Geduld mitbringen, die geht schon ihren Weg nach oben, alles Gute für die Zukunft, und auf steigende Kurse, Turbo

[leimenbo]

noch mal ne Frage.
Vor dem Split hatte ich 400 stück-danach 800
Taser gibt aber eine Aktie als Dividende,wenn man die Aktie-wie ich hällt.Bekomme ich nun noch 400Stück?
Danke im Voraus für die Beantwortung. und schöne Weihnachten an alle.

[joerg73]

Leider leben wir nicht im Paradies. Eine "stock dividend" ist eine technische Form des Aktiensplitts. Da dadurch keine neuen Werte geschaffen werden (keine Kapital- oder Gewinnerhöhung!) und nur die Anzahl der im Umlauf befindelichen Aktien erhöht wird, muss sich der Preis automatisch im gleichen Verhältnis verringern. Anzunehmen dass man nochmal 400 Aktien à 20 EUR bekommt geht (leider) in die Irre.

PS: Die Firma ist auch so extrem aussichtsreich und die Aktie performed ohne jeden Tadel

VectorVest Stock Analysis of TASER Int`l as of 1/4/2005

Thank you for requesting an analysis of TASER Int`l from VectorVest. The ticker symbol for TASER Int`l is TASR. TASR is traded on the NASDAQ - (xO) and options are available for this stock

Analysis Summary
TASR is overvalued compared to its Price of $28.69 per share, has about average safety, and is currently rated a Buy.

In-Depth Analysis
Business: TASER INTL INC, (TASR) develops, assembles and markets less-lethal, conducted energy weapons primarily for use in the law enforcement and corrections market. Its ADVANCED TASER weapon offers improved performance over other less-lethal force options.

Price: TASR closed on 1/4/2005 at $28.69 per share

Value: Value is a measure of a stock`s current worth. TASR has a current Value of $20.59 per share. Therefore, it is overvalued compared to its Price of $28.69 per share. Value is computed from forecasted earnings per share, forecasted earnings growth, profitability, interest, and inflation rates. Value increases when earnings, earnings growth rate and profitability increase, and when interest and inflation rates decrease. VectorVest advocates the purchase of undervalued stocks. At some point in time, a stock`s Price and Value always will converge.

RV (Relative Value): RV is an indicator of long-term price appreciation potential. TASR has an RV of 1.61, which is excellent on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. This indicator is far superior to a simple comparison of Price and Value because it is computed from an analysis of projected price appreciation three years out, AAA Corporate Bond Rates, and risk. RV solves the riddle of whether it is preferable to buy High growth, High P/E stocks, or Low growth, Low P/E stocks. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks with RV ratings above 1.00.

RS (Relative Safety): RS is an indicator of risk. TASR has an RS rating of 0.93, which is fair on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RS is computed from an analysis of the consistency and predictability of a company`s financial performance, debt to equity ratio, sales volume, business longevity, price volatility and other factors. A stock with an RS rating greater than 1.00 is safer and more predictable than the average stock in the VectorVest database. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks of companies with consistent, predictable financial performance.

RT (Relative Timing): RT is a fast, smart, accurate indicator of a stock`s price trend. TASR has a Relative Timing rating of 1.16, which is good on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RT is computed from an analysis of the direction, magnitude, and dynamics of a stock`s price movements over one day, one week, one quarter and one year time periods. Once a stock`s price has established a strong trend, it is expected to continue in that trend for the short-term. If a trend dissipates, RT will gravitate toward 1.00. RT will explode from bottoms, dive from tops, and reflect changes in price momentum. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks with RT ratings above 1.00.

VST (VST-Vector): VST is the master indicator for ranking every stock in the VectorVest database. TASR has a VST rating of 1.24, which is good on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. VST is computed from the square root of a weighted sum of the squares of RV, RS, and RT. Stocks with the highest VST ratings have the best combinations of Value, Safety and Timing. These are the stocks to own for above average, long-term capital appreciation. VectorVest advocates the purchase of safe, undervalued stocks rising in price.

CI (Comfort Index): CI is an indicator which reflects a stock`s ability to resist severe and/or lengthy price declines. TASR has a CI rating of 0.67, which is poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. CI is quite different from RS in that it is based solely upon a stock`s long-term price history. VectorVest advocates the purchase of high CI stocks.

GRT (Earnings Growth Rate): GRT reflects a company`s one to three year forecasted earnings growth rate in percent per year. TASR has a forecasted Earnings Growth Rate of 55.00%, which VectorVest considers to be excellent. GRT is computed from historical, current and forecasted earnings data. It is updated each week for every stock in the VectorVest database. GRT often foretells a stock`s future price trend. If a stock`s GRT trend is upward, the stock`s price will likely rise. If GRT is trending downward, the stock`s Price will probably fall. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks whose GRT is rising and is greater than the sum of current inflation and interest rates, (9.09%).

Recommendation (REC): VectorVest gives a Buy, Sell, Hold recommendation on every stock, every day. TASR has a Buy recommendation. REC reflects the cumulative effect of all the VectorVest parameters working together. These parameters are designed to help investors buy safe, undervalued stocks rising in price. They also help investors avoid or sell risky, overvalued stocks falling in price. VectorVest recommends that investors buy high VST-Vector, Buy-rated stocks in rising markets.

Stop (Stop-Price): Stop is an indicator of when to sell a long position or cover a short position. TASR has a Stop of $25.75 per share. This is $2.94 below TASR`s current closing Price. A stock`s Stop is computed from a 13 week moving average of its closing prices, and is fine-tuned according to the stock`s fundamentals. High RV, high RS stocks have lower Stops, and low RV, low RS stocks have higher Stops. In the VectorVest system, a stock gets a `B` or `H` recommendation if its Price is above its Stop and an `S` recommendation if its Price is below its Stop.

EPS (Earnings per Share): EPS stands for leading 12 months Earnings Per Share. TASR has a forecasted EPS of $0.48 per share. VectorVest determines this forecast from a combination of recent earnings performance and traditional fiscal and/or calendar year earnings forecasts.

P/E (Price to Earnings Ratio): P/E is a popular measure of stock valuation which shows the dollars required to buy one dollar of earnings. TASR has a P/E of 59.77. This ratio may be deemed to be high or low depending upon your frame of reference. The average P/E of all the stocks in the VectorVest database is 26.50. P/E is computed daily using the formula: P/E = Price/EPS.

EY (Earnings Yield): EY reflects earnings per share as a percent of Price. EY is related to P/E via the formula, EY = 100 / (P/E), and may be used in place of P/E as a measure of valuation. EY has the advantages that it is always determinate and can reflect negative earnings. TASR has an EY of 1.67 percent. This is below the current average of 3.76% for all the stocks in the VectorVest database. EY equals 100 x (EPS/Price).

GPE (Growth to P/E Ratio): GPE is another popular measure of stock valuation. It compares earnings growth rate to P/E ratio. TASR has a GPE rating of 0.92. High growth stocks are believed to be able to justify high P/E ratios. A stock is commonly considered to be undervalued when GPE is greater than 1.00 and overvalued when GPE is below 1.00. Unfortunately, this rule of thumb does not take into account the effect of interest rates on P/E ratios. The operative GPE ratio of 1.00 is valid when and only when interest rates equal 10%. With long-term interest rates currently at 5.59%, the operative GPE ratio is 0.31. Therefore, TASR may be considered to be undervalued.

DIV (Dividend): VectorVest reports annual, regular, cash dividends as indicated by the most recent payments. Special distributions, one-time payments, stock dividends, etc., are not generally included in DIV. TASR does not pay a dividend.

DY (Dividend Yield): DY reflects earnings per share as a percent of Price. TASR does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Yield rating. . DY equals 100 x (DIV/Price). It is useful to compare DY with EY. If DY is not significantly lower than EY, the dividend payment may be in jeopardy.


DS (Dividend Safety): DS is an indicator of the assurance that regular cash dividends will be declared and paid at current or at higher rates for the foreseeable future. TASR does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Safety rating . Stocks with DS values above 75 typically have RS values well above 1.00 and EY levels that are much higher than DY.

DG (Dividend Growth Rate): Dividend Growth is a subtle yet important indicator of a company`s financial performance. It also provides some insight into the board`s outlook on the company`s ability to increase earnings. TASR does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Growth rating .

YSG (YSG-Vector): YSG is an indicator which combines DIV, DY and DG into a single value, and allows direct comparison of all dividend-paying stocks in the database. TASR does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a YSG rating . Stocks with the highest YSG values have the best combinations of Dividend Yield, Safety and Growth. These are the stocks to buy for above average current income and long-term growth.

Open: TASR opened trading at a price of $30.27 per share on 1/4/2005.

High: TASR traded at a High price of $30.27 per share on 1/4/2005.

Low: TASR traded at a Low price of $28.50 per share on 1/4/2005

Close: TASR closed trading at price $28.69 per share on 1/4/2005. (Close is also called Price in the VectorVest system)

Range: Range reflects the difference between the High and Low prices for the day. TASR traded with a range of $1.77 per share on 1/4/2005.

$Change: TASR closed down 1.29 from the prior day`s closing Price.

%PRC: TASR`s Price changed -4.30% from the prior day`s closing price.

Volume: TASR traded 9,874,200 shares on 1/4/2005.

AvgVol: AvgVol is the 50 day moving average of daily volume as computed by VectorVest. TASR has an AvgVol of 10,446,000 shares traded per day.

%Vol: %Vol reflects the percent change in today`s trading volume as compared to the AvgVol. %Vol equals 100 x (Volume/AvgVol). TASR had a %Vol of -5.47% on 1/4/2005

Sales: TASR has annual sales of $59,000,000

Sales Growth: Sales Growth is the Sales Growth Rate in percent over the last 12 months. TASR has a Sales Growth of 211.00% per year. This is excellent. Sales Growth is updated each week for every stock. It is often useful to compare Sales Growth to Earnings Growth to gain an insight into a company`s operations.

Sales Per Share (SPS): TASR has annual sales of $1.02 per share. SPS can be used as a measure of valuation when comparing stocks within an Industry Group.

Price to Sales Ratio (P/S): TASR has a P/S of 28.16. This ratio is also used as a measure of valuation. Here, too, it is useful when comparing stocks within an Industry Group.

Shares: TASR has 58,000,000 shares of stock outstanding.

Market Capitalization: TASR has a Market Capitalization of $1,666,000,000. Market Capitalization is calculated by multiplying price times shares outstanding.

Industry Group: TASR has been assigned to the Business Svc (SecSafety) Industry Group. VectorVest classifies stocks into over 200 Industry Groups and 40 Business Sectors.

Business Sector: TASR has been assigned to the Business Svc Business Sector. VectorVest classifies stocks into over 200 Industry Groups and 40 Business Sectors.

The basic strategy of VectorVest is to buy Low risk, High reward stocks. We suggest that Prudent investors buy enough High Relative Value, High Relative Safety stocks to keep the overall RV and RS ratings of their portfolios above 1.00. As you do this, you`ll find that your risk will go down and your investment performance will improve.

Taser: SEC probing safety statements
By Ciara Linnane, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: 11:00 AM ET Jan. 7, 2005
E-mail it | Print | Alert | Reprint | RSS

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Taser International shares slumped as much as 23 percent in early trade Friday, after the company said it`s cooperating in an informal U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission inquiry of its safety statements and sales to a distributor.

Shares of Taser, which makes electric "stun" guns, were last down 15.4 percent at $23.40, having earlier touched a low of $21.29.

The inquiry was disclosed by the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based maker of the weapon, which is widely used in U.S. law enforcement and military agencies.

Questions about the weapon`s safety -- and studies used to support safety claims -- were raised last fall, when the New York Times reported that a U.S. Air Force laboratory study concluded the weapons could be dangerous, and in November, after police in Florida used the device on children.

Taser (TASR: news, chart, profile) had claimed tests showed the weapon was safe to use on children.

The company`s primary weapon was designed to "shoot" a bolt of temporarily disabling electricity into a person, and allow law enforcement officials and soldiers to subdue them.

Taser also was drawn into the headlines during the short-lived nomination of former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik as President Bush`s new Secretary of Homeland Security.

Kerik withdrew as a nominee after disclosing he had briefly hired an illegal immigrant as a housekeeper and nanny. Kerik also served on Taser`s board and made a profit of some $4.4 million selling shares in November, according to media reports. Taser did business with the Homeland Security department.

"We are confident our statements are supported by the safety studies of our products," Rick Smith, Taser`s CEO, said in the company statement announcing the inquiry. "Our public statements about the safety of Taser devices are consistent with those of medical experts we have consulted, or in the case of the Department of Defense, were reviewed and approved prior to release by the very agencies that have commissioned the research."

Morgan Keegan said it`s concerned about the probe although it`s sticking with a "market perform" rating on the stock.

"We are certain that the company will share all safety studies that are currently available," said analyst Brian Ruttenbur. "However, the available data has been determined, for example by Amnesty International, to be insufficient to make a conclusive decision on the product safety in all circumstances including children, (the) elderly, and individuals with specific health conditions."

There are also concerns about Taser`s broader product offer which now includes consumer versions of its weapon.

The company is also facing the challenge of increased competition from two new entrants, Stinger Systems (STIY: news, chart, profile) and Law Enforcement Associates (LENF: news, chart, profile) which are both preparing to launch products.

Morgan Keegan is expecting Stinger Systems` new 4-dart, less lethal weapon, which is gun-powder based, to offer real competition to the Taser stun gun. The product is expected to be on sale by end January or early February with a price of under $600 per unit for the 4-dart system and $525 for the 3-dart system, said Ruttenbur.

The analyst is skeptical that Taser can reach its own forecast of 100 percent revenue growth in the next several years, although he expects growth to range from 30 to 40 percent.

"We maintain that we like the long-term prospects for Taser International and other conduct energy weapons but believe shares of Taser are fairly priced at current levels," he said.

Stinger Systems shares were last trading up 8.6 percent at $31.50, while Law Enforcement Associates was up 4.4 percent at $6.00.

#50 Hi - danke - ich hatte es auch gesehen, aber später - aber ich denke man sollte nicht verkaufen

Das letzte Mal - als die so abstürzten - auch wegen der Meldung von eventuellen Todesfällen - gings danach wieder superschnell hoch.

Irgendwie kommt es mir wie ein Zyklus vor - dass immer wieder in bestimmten Abständen solche Meldungen kommen. Kann es sein - dass immer wieder die selben Nachrichten bewußt wieder hochgezogen werden?? Das war jedesmal bevor richtig gute Nachrichten kamen und der Kurs allen davon lief...

Na gut wegen des eventuell manipulierten Scheinverkaufs - kann stimmen - muß aber nicht - ist je dementiert worden..

Ich bleibe erst mal drin - mal sehen - wenn die unter 15 Euro fallen sollten , gehe ich auch raus - aber ich denke max. Dienstag gehts wieder hoch - ob wir aber die alten Höchstände qwieder sehen, dass ist zu bezweifeln

[BrokerOlli]

Hi copitz,
vorsichtig solltest du jetzt trotzdem sein. Momentan werden die Aktien gnadenlos abgestrafft, wenn Ungereimtheiten auftreten (siehe auch Medion usw.). Und immerhin ist hier die SEC inzwischen auch mit im Spiel...
Deshalb habe ich erstmal verkauft.

Gruß

[copitz001]

Ist denn der Fall nun gestoppt oder muß ich wirklich verkaufen - habe ja noch einiges an Spielraum - will aber auch nicht so weit unten raus gehen - wer hat ne Meinung?

Normalerweise müßte es doch eine Gegenreaktion erst mal geben

[tony_west]

Nix da mit Gegenreaktion. Die Reaktion ist:

WEITER RUNTER.

Das, was da seit einigen Tagen abgeht ist echt übel. Das reinste Gemetzel.

11 January 2005, 07:30am ET

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TASER International, Inc. (Nasdaq: TASR), a market leader in advanced non-lethal devices, today announced the release of the following letter to its shareholders and customers:

Dear Shareholders and Customers of TASER International, Inc.,

Normally these letters are sent at the time of our Annual Report, however given recent events, it is important to address all of you as quickly as possible with an update on the status of your company. As you will read below, your company continues to be strong, and its management focused.

First, as we announced last week, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is conducting an informal inquiry and has asked for information about the public statements on the safety of TASER(R) products; and on information regarding our distribution agreement with Davidson`s Inc., one of our top stocking distributors. Because of the legal nature of the SEC review, we are compelled to refrain from further comment at this time. We understand these inquires may not be resolved quickly and that there is no basis upon which to set a timeline for expected completion. Rest assured, we are cooperating with the inquiry by providing the SEC with information and continue to stand firmly behind our actions.

Second, we have received questions indicating there is confusion on the issue of insider stock sales in the fourth quarter. Phil Smith, our Chairman who retired from day to day duties on December 31, 2004 sold the majority of his TASER stock as part of his retirement transition. Tom Smith and Rick Smith, co-founders of the company and whom currently serve as President and CEO, also sold a portion of their position in order to diversify their holdings. During the fourth quarter of 2004, Tom and Rick sold an average of 22% of their position in TASER including both their stock and vested and unvested options. We still retain a significant position in TASER International, which at year-end comprised a significant majority of our personal assets. Hence, we feel that the rumors about us "bailing out" are not fair, nor accurate. We have pointed out previously that the Smith family along with one other investor provided all of the startup capital to TASER International prior to its public offering, and we have held this investment for up to eleven years. We have historically sold stock and have been straight-forward with our investors that insiders would continue to diversify through continuing stock sales in the future.

In retrospect, 2004 was an amazing year for TASER International. At the beginning of the year, we projected top-line revenue growth of 100%. This was later raised to 150%, and later raised again. Further, the company was able to sustain this level of growth while generating strong cash flow.

[copitz001]

Bin auch zu 14,50 raus - bloß ich versteh das alles nicht so ganz - wenn das so weiter geht - ist Taser bald gar nichts mehr wert so abgestraft zu werden - ist das nicht bischen zu fett??????

Kann vieleicht jemand mir das alles bischen näher erklären - ich verstehe ´zwar ganz gut Englisch - aber übersehe oder überlesse ich hier was?????

Vielen Dank

[7.Sinn]

So wie sehe ermittelt die SEC wg. möglicher Insidergeschäfte. Böse Sache.

[copitz001]

Danke und was kann da passieren, wenn es wirklich Insidergeschäfte gab?? Irgendwo ist ja immer bischen Wahrheit in jedem Gerücht - sonst würde es nicht aufkommen.

[joerg73]

Insiderhandel ist hauptsächlich ein Problem für den Täter, gerade werden ja alle Investoren bestraft. Hintergrund sind die wohl zyklisch auftretenden Sicherheitsdiskussionen (NY Times, Amnesty Int.). Das Problem ist, dass die "Gesundheitsrisiken" nicht mit dem Einsatz von Feuerwaffen verglichen werden, die sonst die Alternative der US Polizei wären (die haben dort toughe Regeln!), sondern mögliche Herzinfakte etc., diesmal wohl auch beim Einsatz um Minderjährige ausser Gefecht zu setzen (wie dies wohl eine Polizeieinheit getan hat).

Bisher haben die Polizeibehörden weiter gekauft, trotz der Diskussionen, was Sicherheit in die Aktie vermittelte. Insofern wäre es wichtig, in den naechsten Tagen von Vertriebserfolgen zu hören.

Ich bleibe drin, bzw. wenn das Messer gefallen ist denke ich ueber zukäufe nach - scheinbar bin ich dann der letzte Aktionär...

[joerg73]

more bad news - jetzt geht es rund...

Lerach Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP Files Class Action Suit against TASER International, Inc.

NEW YORK --(Business Wire)-- Jan. 10, 2005 -- Lerach Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP ("Lerach Coughlin") (http://www.lerachlaw.com/cases/taser/)" target="_blank" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.lerachlaw.com/cases/taser/) today announced that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona on behalf of purchasers of TASER International, Inc. ("TASER") (NASDAQ:TASR) common stock during the period between November 4, 2004 and January 6, 2005 (the "Class Period").

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than 60 days from today. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff`s counsel, Samuel H. Rudman or David A. Rosenfeld of Lerach Coughlin at 800/449-4900 or 619/231-1058 or via e-mail at [e-mail]. If you are a member of this class, you can view a copy of the complaint as filed or join this class action online at http://www.lerachlaw.com/cases/taser/." target="_blank" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.lerachlaw.com/cases/taser/. Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.

The complaint charges TASER and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. TASER purports to provide advanced non-lethal devices for use in the law enforcement, military, private security and personal defense markets.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants issued numerous statements concerning the: (i) increasing demand for the Company`s Taser devices; and (ii) the positive results of studies that were conducted regarding the safety of the Company`s products. As alleged in the complaint, these statements were materially false and misleading because they failed to disclose: (i) that, contrary to defendants` representations, the studies conducted on the Company`s Taser devices were inconclusive as to the safety of the devices; (ii) that the Company`s revenues and earnings would be negatively impacted once the truth of these studies became known; (iii) that the "last minute" order of Taser devices the Company had received from one of its distributors was done to help the Company meet its sales goals for the quarter and was not indicative of the true demand for the Company`s products; and (iv) based on the foregoing, defendants had no reasonable basis for their positive statements regarding the safety of, and demand for, the Company`s products.

On January 6, 2005, after the close of the market, defendants disclosed that they were in receipt of an informal inquiry letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the Company`s statements about the safety of its products and a recent order received from one of its distributors. Market reaction to this announcement was swift and severe. On January 7, 2005, shares of TASER common stock closed at $22.72 per share, a decline of $4.90 per share, or 18%, from the previous day`s close.

Der Todeskuss

11 January 2005, 3:04pm ET

By ELLEN SIMON AP Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- Taser International Inc., the stun-gun maker whose safety claims are being probed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, issued a letter Tuesday defending $105.8 million in stock sales last year by the family that has run the business.

A review of company filings with the SEC also shows that Taser paid $205,509 last year to lease airplanes owned by the family and that it has a 15-year lease to pay $1,556 a month for use of another plane, a Cessna 414, owned by family member Thomas Smith, the company`s president.

Such arrangements are rare in the business world.

"If the company has an honest-to-goodness need for a plane, there`s a very liquid commercial market," said David Yermack, a finance professor at New York University`s Stern School of Business. "There`s no need to lease it from executives. It compromises the independence and objectivity of everyone involved."

In a letter to shareholders Tuesday defending the Smiths` stock sales, Taser also said that it may see delays in orders as law enforcement agencies test and evaluate stun guns made by competitors.

Taser`s shares dropped $5.05, down 25 percent, in early afternoon trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market to hit $15, down from a year-high price of $33.45 on Dec. 30.

In one week in November following an announcement that Taser stun guns had been approved by the federal government for use on domestic flights, three family members sold shares worth $54.6 million.

Their sales came at the end of a banner year for Taser, with revenues from sales to law enforcement, corrections and other agencies growing 150 percent.

But as the company`s stock price climbed, the human rights group Amnesty International and various news organizations published reports raising questions about the safety of Taser`s stun guns.

The Arizona Republic has found 84 cases of death following a Taser strike since 1999, with 11 cases in which medical examiners said Tasers were a cause, a contributing factor or could not be ruled out in a death. Amnesty said stun guns were linked to more than 70 deaths over a four-year period and urged law enforcement agencies to suspend their use.

The so-called non-lethal weapons temporarily paralyze people with a 50,000-volt jolt delivered by two barbed darts whose current can penetrate clothing. Tasers have a range of up to 21 feet and can also shock on contact, like a cattle prod.

The nation`s leading stun gun company said in its June quarterly report that it does not believe there is a "causal link between the use of a Taser device and a death of a suspect other than the general stress of the physical exertion during Taser stimulation, which is similar to athletic type exertions and is comparable to or less than the stress of other available physical restraint procedures."

7.Sinn - wohl doch nichts mit Todeskuss - oder es ist nur ein kurzes Aufbäumen - aber es wird wohl systematisch wieder hoch gehen - ich meine solche Gerüchte , wie: Todesfälle durch Laser-Waffen usw gab es doch schon lange..

Das die Typen eigene Aktien in Mengen auf den Markt schmeißen - sollte einen Nachdenklich stimmen...

das die SEC ermittelt - nun gut - vieleicht ist es doch nicht so heiß - weil: mir kommt es vor, als ob sich paar "Menschenretter" ( die sind ähnlich wie bei uns die Grünen - die wollen auch die Atomkraftwerke abschaffen in Deutschland - aber in der ganzen Welt werden Atommailer gebaut und das im verstärktem Umfang )) auf Taser "eingeschossen" hätten - komischerweise sagen die aber gar nichts dazu, wenn Leute mit normalen Pistolen umgepustet werden - und die Horrormeldungen kommen immer wieder im selben Abstand /Zeitraum....

Ich bin wieder seit 10,87 Euro bei - allerdings nur mit 500 Stk - Sekt oder Selters

Aber da sieht man es wieder mal - die Schweinehunde ( Taser ) sterben nie aus - aber das kennen wir ja auch von anderen Klitschen

Ballon Stoll Bader & Nadler, P.C., Announces a Class Action against TASER International, Inc. -- TASR
Monday January 24, 2:32 pm ET


NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- The law firm of Ballon Stoll Bader & Nadler, P.C. announces that a class action lawsuit was filed January 21, 2005, on behalf of all persons who purchased the common stock of TASER International, Inc. (``Taser`` or the ``Company``) (NasdaqNM:TASR - News) during the period of time from January 7, 2005, through and including January 14, 2005 (the ``Class Period``), pursuing remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Exchange Act``). A copy of the complaint filed in this action is available from the Court, or will be available to be viewed on Ballon Stoll`s website at: http://www.ballonstoll.com.
ADVERTISEMENT


The action is pending before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against defendants TASER International, Inc., Dr. Phillips W. Smith (Chairman), Patrick W. Smith (C.E.O. and Director), Thomas P. Smith (President and Director), and Daniel Behrendt (C.F.O.). According to the complaint, defendants violated sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5, by issuing a series of material misrepresentations to the market during the Class Period.

The complaint alleges that defendants made statements during the class period that were materially false and misleading throughout the period from October 18, 2004, through January 6, 2005. Namely, defendants claimed increasing demand for its products and touted those products` safety when, in fact, defendants knew that studies had raised reservations with regard to the safety of Taser`s products and consequently, orders of its product had been delayed. On January 6, 2005, Taser announced it had received a formal inquiry letter from the SEC regarding Taser`s claims of safety and a $1.5 million order of its products from one of the Company`s distributors. As a result of this announcement, Taser`s common stock fell by $4.90 per share (18%) to $22.72. Subsequently on January 7, 2005, defendants further announced that orders for the first half of 2005 would be delayed and that one of Taser`s distributor`s had purchased $700,000 in order to help Taser out. Thereafter, Taser`s common stock fell by an addition $5.95 (30%) to $14.10 per share. Moreover, defendants disclosed on January 8, 2005, that they had granted options to acquire Taser stock to police officials in departments which were considering and then purchased Taser products in the prior year.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired the common stock of Taser between January 7, 2005, and January 14, 2005, inclusive, and sustained damages, you may, no later than 60 days after the date of publication of this notice, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member`s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as ``lead plaintiff.`` Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as lead plaintiff. You may retain Ballon Stoll Bader & Nadler, P.C., or other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.

Ballon Stoll Bader & Nadler, P.C., has offices in New York and New Jersey. The firm`s attorneys have been litigating securities and corporate matters for over forty years and are active in major litigations pending in federal and state courts throughout the United States.

Die letzten News klingen doch schon wieder etwas freundlicher und der Kurs erholt sich auch langsam wieder.

"Britisches Home Office genehmigt Einsatz des TASER X26
SCOTTSDALE, Arizona, March 25 /PRNewswire/ --

- Genehmigung beruht auf Computermodellierung und unabhängigen medizinischen Tests, Ergebnisse bestätigen die im PACE Supplement veröffentlichten Sicherheitsbereiche

TASER International, Inc. (Nasdaq: TASR), ein Marktführer im Bereich fortschrittlicher nicht-letaler Waffen, kündigte heute an, dass das britische Innenministerium, das Home Office, eine Ministererklärung veröffentlichte, die den Einsatz des Energieleitgeräts TASER(TM) X26 durch Beamte in England und Wales genehmigt, die zum Tragen von Schusswaffen berechtigt sind.

Laut der Erklärung des Innenministers wurde das "Unterkomitee zu den medizinischen Auswirkungen nicht-letaler Waffen (DOMILL) des Defense Scientific Advisory Council (Wissenschaftliche Beratungsgruppe zur Verteidigung, DSAC) aufgefordert, eine Erklärung zu den gesundheitlichen Auswirkungen des Einsatzes des X26 Taser abzugeben. Die DOMILL-Erklärung bestätigt, dass das Risiko eines lebensbedrohenden Ereignisses aufgrund der direkten Interaktion mit den Stromstärken des X26 TASER mit dem Herz geringer liegt als das bereits sehr niedrige Risiko eines solchen Ereignisses bei der Verwendung des M26 TASER." Die Genehmigung zum Einsatz des X26 TASER folgt einer Erklärung des Unterkomitees über die medizinischen Auswirkungen nicht-letaler Waffen (DOMILL) des Defense Scientific Advisory (DSAC) zu den komparativen medizinischen Auswirkungen des Einsatzes des X26 TASER und des M26 Advanced TASER. Eine im Juli 2004 veröffentlichte Erklärung des DOMILL zog folgende Schlussfolgerung: "Das Risiko lebensgefährlicher oder schwerer Verletzungen mit dem M26 Taser ist sehr niedrig."

"Ich habe daher die Chief Officers ermächtigt, den X26 TASER für den Schusswaffengebrauch autorisierten Beamten als Alternative für Situationen zur Verfügung zu stellen, in denen der Schusswaffengebrauch in Übereinstimmung der im ACPO Manual of Guidance on Police Use of Firearms (Handbuch zum polizeilichen Einsatz von Schusswaffen) festgelegten Richtlinien zugelassen ist. Die Genehmigung für den M26 TASER bleibt in Kraft", endet die Erklärung des Ministers.

Weitere relevante Inhaltspunkte des Berichts:
- Eine umfassende Überprüfung durch das Defence Science and Technology
Laboratory (DSTL) wurde von Herz- und Neuroelektrophysiologen,
Physikern, Ingenieuren und Traumaspezialisten an über 800 Referenzen
vorgenommen.
- Bahnbrechende Modelle des Stromflusses im Körper und seiner
Intensität wurden mit Hilfe von Computational Electromagnetic
Modeling (CEM) erstellt, um die Änderungen der Stromstärke und der
Verteilung für verschiedene Widerhakenseparationen und TASER-Outputs
zu bestimmen.
- Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass simulierte M26- und X26-Wellen selbst
bei Verstärkung nicht in der Lage sind, Herzkammerflimmern auszulösen,
wenn sie auf den Herzmuskel von Meerschweinchen angewendet wurden
(Langendorffsches Modell), obgleich das Herz von Meerschweinchen
aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach anfälliger ist als das menschliche Herz.
- Der Sicherheitsfaktor für Herzkammerflimmern betrug mehr als das
70fache der modellierten Stromdichte für den M26 und mehr als das
240fache der modellierten Stromdichte am Herzen, die für den X26
prognostiziert wird.
- Ein Bericht von PricewaterhouseCoopers anhand der Einsatzversuche
kam zu der Schlussfolgerung, dass die Verwendung des M26 TASER "half,
ein positives Ergebnis bei einem Vorfall zu erzielen, wodurch die
potenzielle Notwendigkeit zum Einsatz anderer, möglicherweise
tödlicherer Methoden, durch Beamte verringert werden konnte."
- Einige verbreitete Drogen haben das Potenzial, zur herzbezogenen
Sterblichkeit in Zusammenhang mit dem TASER-Einsatz beizutragen.
Darüber hinaus kann angenommen werden, dass diese Schlussfolgerung
allgemein für alle emotional aufgeladenen und möglicherweise
gewalttätigen Konfrontationen mit Polizei- und Vollzugsbeamten
gilt.
- DOMILL sind keine Todesfälle durch Primärverletzungen mit dieser
Waffe weder beim aktiven noch beim freiwilligen Einsatz in
Nordamerika bekannt."Die Ankündigung durch das britische Home Office ermöglicht Behörden, unseren erweiterten TASER X26 an zum Tragen von Schusswaffen berechtigte Beamte auszugeben, um in Grossbritannien Leben zu retten", so Tom Smith, President und Mitgründer von TASER International."Während der Einsatz im UK seit der Genehmigung des TASER M26 am 15. September 2004 sehr vielversprechend war, warteten die meisten Behörden auf die Genehmigung des X26, um ein Gerät mit verbesserten Funktionen und kleinerem Format einsetzen zu können. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine wichtige Zulassung für den weiter verbreiteten Einsatz von TASER-Technologie im UK, und wir erwarten, dass sich diese Entwicklung in anderen europäischen und aussereuropäischen Ländern fortsetzen wird, die dem Vereinigten Königreich in dieser Hinsicht folgen werden", sagte Smith.

Er schloss: "Was auch sehr ermutigend ist, ist, dass diese neuen Studien modernste Computermodelle verwendeten, um die elektromagnetischen Interaktionen des Taser mit der Körperoberfläche und den Stromfluss am Herzen nachzustellen. Darüber hinaus bestätigt diese unabhängige Forschung die Ergebnisse, die im Januar 2005 bei der Peer-Review im Supplement der Zeitschrift Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology (PACE) veröffentlicht wurden und die beträchtliche Sicherheitsspielräume für den X26 TASER nachwiesen."

Pro-Tect Systems ist der alleinige Vertreiber der M26- und

X26 TASER-Produkte im Vereinigten Königreich und wird weiterhin die Polizeibehörden im ganzen Land unterstützen, wenn der TASER X26 eingeführt wird."
