and what is that?
You forgot the last paragraph of the release:
“We'have'made'progress'implementing'operating'process'improvements,'and'our'success'
here'is'evidenced'by'an'operating'cash'margin'(Net'Income'plus'depreciation'and'accrued'
preferred'dividends)'of'$385,000'for'the'quarter,”'said'Emmett'Hume,'TelVue’s'CFO.
So who is getting paid preferred dividends??
This is becoming one heckuva Celebration, another day with no one buying even after all the begging to do so.
Well thanks, as you have the ear of the employees, yet seems no one is listening to you either........buy buy buy,
so you are comparing an upgrade to itself instead of new products of other companies, to each their own.
any dividend payment would be a mistake, especially since some believe that would hurt the non existant shorts. That's not a valid reason to payout a dividend. Let's see those audited financials then we can discuss dividend and the fact no proof exists of any short position.
Oh come on now, it's been mentioned over and over by qtip the "award winning software" given in 2011 by a magazine, communications technology, after being self nominated. To be clearer the award for the software was three years old, since then no awards, maybe a few "BTR diamonds" but nothing since, and not really an award. For someone to continue to claim that software is award winning is refering back to 2011. Here's the link directly from TELVUEs website:

Also the point is that they need to fund R&D to keep up with the competition. Relying on a short conspiracy or dividends is not reality for any investor to gain value. If an investor wants value to increase the company has to move forward. Just don't see it happening at this time as the lack of liquidity is detrimental to investors. Though who is getting the preferred dividends??
So will "we" be celebrating today??? Friday??? Someone must have forgotten to send the memo to BUY BUY BUY!!! Cheap, Cheap, Cheap!!!
That's only assuming that they keep up with the rest of the competition, spend plenty on R&D as their award winning software touted here is over 3 years old?? Only depends on renewing contracts into the future so, for all that, there is no guarantee. Especially when the majority shareholder has a history with two penny stocks that are not doing well for shareholders. Annual report will show just that, and the lack of liquidity helps no one.
So who is "we", I see zero trades today, not much of a celebration now is it? If people really felt this was a great value at these prices they would buy, and since not even the employees are buying why would anyone else?? Not much of a hole being dug either.
Today we are going to celebrate by buying small lots at $14.00 and help with the hole digging.
I'm sorry, seeing the light?? An illiquid stock with a majority shareholder with the history of another company that only preferred shareholder (himself) is receiving dividends and based on the PR that is what's happening here as well. No there is no light here other than the train waiting for those that think there is an active short position.
That's why KNIGHT has been fined 12 times in the past year for hiding shares in the wrong qsip number. You'd have to be an idiot not to see the inference of this statement after all the short conspiracy posts.
The topic this morning , since we seem to have a group here, is the new "Set top box " Being worked on by TelVue and 4 of the really big names in communications. We are talking really heavy money being thrown around on that set top. Comcast spent the billions for Time-Warner to be the one to supply those boxes as soon as TelVue designs them. So now you're saying that Telvue is working on a set top box, that you know Time-warner will use and supply without any type of agreement or contract?? Which is it?? Is telvue developing a set top box?? are they or are they not under contract with time warner to supply them once they are designed??
Since Telvue is now developing a new set top box as stated, why only buy small lots, unless you plan on buying more than 3800 you can get them all for the low low price of 14 dollars, as these shares will be someones personal ATM in the near future, everyone should be buying!!! Just think of the dividends that will be paid when all the world is using telvues set top box. The value will be astronomical, don't wait, get them now. Celebrate good time, come on!!!!!! It's a celebration.
So let me see if I understand your post correctly. First you are accusing Knight of illegally hiding and shorting TELVUE shares, and secondly you are stating that Telvue has been given the contract to design a new set top box?? Would be great for them if that was true but As I don't see any public disclosure of any TELVUE contract to do anything of the sort, could you please provide proof of that statement??
So Comcast bought Time Warner since Time Warner hired Telvue to design a new set top box. Can't wait to see that come true, but if not.......mmmmmmmm
That's why KNIGHT has been fined 12 times in the past year for hiding shares in the wrong qsip number.

We are talking really heavy money being thrown around on that set top. Comcast spent the billions for Time-Warner to be the one to supply those boxes as soon as TelVue designs them. Half the people who own shares in TelVue do not even think about proxies They simple hold their shares and everything else will take care of it's self. Today we are going to celebrate by buying small lots at $14.00 and help with the hole digging.
Telvues short conspiracy will all come to a rest at the upcoming shareholders meeting, or proxy vote (if they have one). If, as some have stated, that all these shares being sold now are short then the proxy votes you submit will be shown to possibly contain "illegal" or nonexistant shares. But if all proxy votes come in and 616,000 votes are cast, and no abnormal amounts then sorry, no shorts, no conspiracy. The same result after the reconciliation of the split, which by the way many claimed was going to be the shorts demise. So if unsure you will all know very shortly, at that time you can worry about the pps and the liquidity of telvue or lack thereof.
If there is any problem with the share structure, they should be addressed in the annual financial report, but since it wasn't mentioned last year after the split, rest assured there are no shorts.
So how do you expect the PPS to rise if there are no trades? No liquidity. And at this next shareholders meeting we'll see if there are more proxy votes than shares. Bet there is nothing out of the ordinary just like last year. But i do agree a forward split does nothing for the shareholder.
No one said anything about TELVUE doing a pump and dump. All about paper losses and reality. True until you sell it's not a loss for some, but knowing you could have sold and captured so much profit and now just stare at the screen and see what could have been. "Don't lose money if you don't sell" is the mantra of many boards of those dumping shares. No not saying that happened here. But there is a difference between reality and wishful thinking.
why would someone pay big bucks for what you have when they can buy plenty at $14. No shorts
that wasn't the point, yes I'm sure in that scenario cost averaging has some play, but the end result of the 200/1 reverse split was devastating to some who lost 90 percent in value, and do you really think the share price will go up to 100 again? No one wants them at 14. You'd think that the "shorts" who sold when It was 98, 96, 65 etc would cover and make a killing at 14. Nope, no one wants these shares, not even the ones who continue to say or listen to the words, fund your account and buy all you can,
As for who may be selling, try the CEO or CIO. Since they are a non reporting company, w4 forms will not be sent to SEC, so unless its mentioned in the annual report, no one will know.
a forward split does not change the percentage of ownership, and would reduce the pps, in your example by 1000. So if that happened, your pps would be .014, if you insist that there are no shares available only shorted shares, then liquidity remains the same, very stagnant, only way to increase liquidity is more shares from the authorized account, oh but wait all of those were deregistered at the time of the reverse split.
Let's see, there was one who bought at .49 / now it is .07 I'm trying to figure out how you can tell that individual that in the past year it is mathematically impossible to lose, never sell, never get your money, never write off your losses, just stare at the thousands you don't have anymore and smile. I'm still wondering why the employees of Telvue are not buying. I buy stock in the company I now work for because I see tremendous value, wonder what the TEVE employees see. Obviously not much.
so what you are saying is that it doesn't matter if on paper one has lost 90 percent of their value, as long as you don't sell you should be happy?? Wow, just think how many victims of pumps and dumps will be glad to know their near worthless stock isn't a loss at all, just never sell........that's a great investment strategy.
Let's do some math on a scenario for a made up Telvue investor. Let's say that investor has 7000 shares times $14.00 current value of $98,000 at the time of the split each share would have been 1,400,000 shares at 49 cents or 7000 at $98 post split. so value at the split of those 7000 shares was 686,000. Thus a loss in value of $588,000. I don't know about the rest but I'd be doing everything possible to get my money back. Now how anyone can look at the above scenario and think that Telvue's management has the investor in mind is not thinking clearly. Put in your own numbers and scenario away, anyway you look at it, investing in this company that didn't need investors in the first place would not be the wisest choice. Time will tell, but going private or selling to a major cable company will be in telvues best interest and will at least allow current investors to have some hope based on real data, not conspiracy theories.
The problem is this, as an example, if an investor of Telvue, before the split had over 700,000 dollars in shares and it plummeted 90 percent, what would they do to justify the loss?? What would they do to keep any type of value before losing it all. The reverse split was damaging to the at the time investor, yet the company seems to not care about the investor. Just a small step away from going private, its obvious they don't need investors anymore, and really never did.
Hard to imagine why someone would continue to claim there is a short position with no proof. Especially after the statement was made, "I don't care about the shorts, shorts or no shorts, I never mention shorts." It doesn't really matter, this stock as long as it remains illiquid, nothing matters, volume of trade will remain as is until something in the share structure changes. Not a split as the percentages of ownership remain the same, only a secondary offering would alleviate this problem. Unless they were crazy enough to pay a dividend in shares, causing dilution, but your shorts would love that.
Dividends: Did anyone pick up on the 3rd qtr financial PR that states:
"We have made progress implementing operating process improvements, and our success here is evidenced by an operating cash margin (Net Income plus depreciation and accrued preferred dividends) of $385,000 for the quarter," said Emmett Hume, TelVue's CFO.
Just like another company of Mr Lenfest that pays only to preferred shareholder, dividends will not be coming to the common shareholder any time soon. Combine this along with the reality that there are zero short positions in Telvue Stock, the only reason to invest is basic business success, not conspiracy theories.
Really, every one?? every trade by every investor?? Who bought how many, who has what shares?? Interesting claim. And yet the three shares sold the other week was such a mystery.
One week after the CIO PR was published. Looks like he may have been paid in shares?? Or a sign on bonus?? That's tough, won't be able to get his money for years at this rate.
And yet still no common shareholder equity.
First, what about the new CIO, what about the CEO could they not be selling? Could they not take their stock options and putting them up for sale?? Could there be another person out there that of the 250+ shareholders that's selling?? There are more than three possibilities. When the company did the split, all shares had to be reconciled, problems?? No, when they had the proxy vote were there more votes than shares?? No. So to answer your question, there is no reason to think there is any short position in TEVE.
Seeing that a post was posted about an award for Mr Lenfest, is it not also appropriate to discuss how he run's his businesses? So comparing another Lenfest majority owned company and how it's run to Telvue and how it is run is very much pertinent to this stock board. If you recall, both companies had stock deregistered at the same time. So if comparing how Mr Lenfest conducts his businesses is out of line, then so is any mention of him.
You never know, but history has proven otherwise, this stock and Mr Lenfests other stock which in business for 40 years has done nothing for shareholder equity. Will be nice to see an actual audited annual report, if they publish one, and more than just a PR. If Telvue led the way, they wouldn't be a pink sheet stock. I look forward to discussing the financials when made public. Value or PPS is placed on shares due to more buyers then sellers, obviously at this point in time that's not the case. Someone feels 14 is all they'll get. We shall see, but its not about shorts, its not about being dark, its about transparency, and so far that's not happening.
I don't foresee any chance of a dividend, money could be put to use in much better ways. If the company had excess cash, maybe, but since R&D is expensive, any cash should be put to that. This year it went to the new CIO. Shorting of stock will still remain, that won't change, but since there are no shorts in TEVE, really doesn't change anything.
So 14 is not a bargain?? Thought this was the ATM machine.
Why do you feel those shares are "short shares"?? What makes you think that they are anything other than a normal trade?? I'm waiting for all those shares to be bought by the longs, yet it seems no one wants them. Will be interesting to see if new CIO was given shares as pay and is just trying to get his 70 grand one share at a time.
If they were a reporting company they would have until the end of March to file their 10K. Since they are not a reporting company, no one knows when any information will be released. And when it is, why would anything change, nothing happened last year, nothing will happen this year, not too many people know or invest in this company. Not being liquid hurts the shareholders, and since there is no proof of any massive short position, and proof that there is no shorts, the statement is wishful thinking at best.
or another pump and dump, buyer beware.
Another competitor of Telvue??
After 40 years in business, obviously not very well.
You do realize that the trades of telvue stock do not benefit the company one nickel. Buying and selling, if liquid, either increases or decreases PPS. More buyers then sellers price goes up, more sellers than buyers price decreases. Only way TEVE will gain from the sale of its stock is another offering of shares to increase capital. oops dilution, You remember TEVE deregistered unsold shares, around the same time that ETCC did. SO why you don't want your value to go up is puzzling, especially since pps is down almost 90 percent since split.
Reminder the next report should be the annual report, and why do you think the management would pay dividends when they need the cash for future operations. Any thoughts from you or Alan as to finally seeing the finra reports as erroneous and NOT showing shor positions taken?
