Or not...
Wowsa, I did not see this coming. Volume also more than double the avg.
The same thing happened yesterday at the same time with some quick block sells that brought the pps down to around .015 but quickly recovered back to .017.
I still think that .016 is bottom (to accumulate shares) and we will start to see a trend back up in the coming days/weeks.
Agreed - I am being overly conservative.
Last call under .017!
I have this sneaking suspicion that many are going to be kicking themselves for not buying TIVU down here when we are trading @ .03+ by the middle/end of the summer.
Tick, tock...
Calling bottom here @ .016. Way too much potential for this one to dip below .016 IMO. Looking forward to the upcoming announcements - contract wins, an update on the Marriott pilot, financials ect.
Hopefully, the party will get started next week.
I'd venture to guess that business travelers stay in hotel rooms more than families on vacation fwiw.
TIVU media coverage out today (in the International Business Times):
TIVU News
I did a Google search of TIVU today and came across this blog site. Has anyone seen this?
Tivus connect blog
This site has the same look and feel of the TIVU site so I am wondering if IR (Steve) is updating the information posted on this site.
Another happy customer....NEXT!
I know...I just passed a guy in the street who said "Forget about Bin Laden, did you hear the THMRQ news"...
LOL
I believe that Prakash addressed this on the TIVU conference call back in March and if I remember correctly he said that the hotels are providing upfront funding for the TV'S.
I know that he did note on the call that Doubletree paid $356K already up front for their installation.
I don't have the time to relisten but the recording is still available by dialing 1 (641) 715-3413, passcode 143798#.
I think you will have better luck giving birth to a possum than you will seeing LTUM hit $1+ again anytime "soon"...I'm just sayin'...
gltu
Re LTUM: You already got your dead cat bounce this morning after the selloff. This thing is now finding it's rightful home around .70 - .80 IMO.
LTUM what a POS...I feel bad for anyone who bought this one @ $1.50+ w/cherry plums dancing in their heads thinking this would surely break $2....
And here comes the massive profit taking/selloff on LTUM.
Once Marriott realizes the revenue potential of this business model with TIVU (assuming that everything goes well with the pilot - I see no reason why it wouldn't), I am convinced that they will make the decision to roll out this tech in all of their rooms.
Doug Marriott on the TIVU BOD should also help influence this decision.
Time will tell but I see ENORMOUS potential with TIVU in the short, medium and long term...
gltu
I personally think that $10/share will come sooner than you think.
If TIVU announces the conversions are complete and at the same time announces that the Marriott pilot has been successful and they are moving forward with a full scale rollout for Marriott, this thing will hit $10 in a heartbeat, IMO.
I would not be surprised to see TIVU trading between $5 - $10 within the next 12 months, with the right news.
Time will tell...
Looking forward to TIVU running like LEXG just did - from pennies to $10+. LEXG last OS was 47.6m (similar to TIVU's) and todays market cap is around $450 Million. Not bad for a company with No Cash/Assets & a current liability of $139k.
TIVU should be trading > $10 in comparison to where LEXG is trading. I can't wait for the convertibles to finally be done so that we can get the MC in line with TIVU's true potential.
This thing looks to be setting up for a monster move. It's just a matter of time before this is trading in the teens, IMO. Enormous potential!
gltu
The current OS is 58,712,644 and the float is 46,262,297.
The CEO owns 12M restricted shares.
I love this comment from Monday's PR:
"2011 has already seen remarkable progress in the execution of our hotel entertainment business plan; finally, I look forward to soon sharing a new Company milestone as well as another Tivus first-in-class innovation," Prakash concluded.
I am looking forward to this announcement. It could potentially be a game changer for this stock. JMHO
.03 print on the first trade of the day? Interesting.
jd, I think that you made a wise decision loading @ .019. I wish I was a little more patient. I loaded up @ .022 yesterday. I agree with you. I also think that this is a tremendous opportunity to accumulate down here. The upside potential far exceeds the downside risk.
I still think that the capitulation we experienced yesterday was the last of the convertibles. Aside from the co making an announcement confirming, we will need to continue to monitor the OS to get our confirmation.
Looking forward to the upcoming updates from TIVU. I think that, come the end of this year, we are going to look back at these bargain basement prices and have a good laugh.
AJMHO & GLTU
Are you kidding me? This isn't a big board stock champ (at least not yet). This is a startup (the Co. is less than 1 year old) and on the pink sheets to boot (for now).
There are a few events that will get this stock moving in the right direction:
1) Confirmation that the convertibles are done
2) An update that the Doubletree install is done
3) An update on the progress being made with the Mariott beta test
4) Additional contract wins
5) Completion of the financial Audit
6) Announcing move to a higher exchange (OTCBB)
I am sure there are more events we can add to the list but it isn't about revenue and/or profits with this one (yet). It is about forward looking potential, continuing to get the word out on said potential and executing their business plan to achieve positive results.
AJMHO & GLTU
Drop that box of chocolates and run Forest, RUN!!! :O)
We're now up 12.5%. Time to get this one back to .03++.
Added 80K today @ .022. I now have 220K. I am betting that this capitulation signifies the end of the convertibles (which I have seen many times before).
I think that .022 is a gift and look forward to the upcoming developments with TIVU.
GLTA
Sure looks obvious to me that that is what Mr Greenjeans is doing here - max out the AS, reverse split and then start the dilution game all over again....seems so very obvious to anyone who is not drinking the Kool-Aid Mr Greenjeans is serving up...
With the AS maxed, how do you think that LKEN will be able to keep the doors open? They're not making enough in revenue from selling their ink crap to cover their expenses. That leaves them with 2 options 1) Raise the AS allowing them to issue shares > 5 billion shares to pay the bills or 2) Do an RS.
I stil think an RS announcement is coming. I wonder if Mr Greenjeans shares will be exempt from the RS as preferred shares typically are.
It looks like this pig (LKEN) went for a swim and all of the lipstick washed off???? What a POS!!!!!!!!...and some are still praising this co. and their Mgmt. Job well done...LMAO...keep those printers rolling. The circus must be in town...
Shiva and Steve stated on the last conference call that they already received payment in the amount of approx $350K (I can't remember the exact amount stated on the call) so your statement about NO REVENUE is not accurate.
TIVU news and gapping. This one is going to be HUGE IMO!

We're up 33% on 40K shares traded. It just goes to show how thin this one is traded.
JW Stealey, we are overdue for an update. Looking forward to the update on new product releases as well as an update on how the new M1 Tank Platoon clone is doing.
It won't take much to get this one moving in the right direction again.
GLTA
D, great job on spelling out the details of the Note. That is exactly what I was looking for. That tells me that there isn't much less to convert (if any) and the OS after all of the conversions will most likely be in the 50M range (roughly where we are today). That is awesome.
Looking forward to the DT install/Addt'l Marriott news! With the note conversion behind us, there will be no holding us back once the contract announcements start to hit the wires.
Thanks again & gltu
ps I gave you, A1, Tufan & nathanial membermarks for your great DD on this little gem of a stock.
A1, I think it would be helpful for all to see the details on the convertibles. I think some have the false impression that there are an unlimited amount of shares to convert. I seem to recall in the filings the $ amount and the max shares that would be in the OS if all shares were converted @ .01 - something like 100M OS.
Clearly the pps is higher than .01 which means a lot less shares to convert. In fact, I'd venture to guess that if we calculated the amount of the loan divided by a pps of around .04, we would see that most of the convertibles have already been converted.

The writing was on the wall - huge dilution, no follow through, ect. Just another stinky pinky. What a POS!
In addition to the huge # of restricted shares hitting the market, Mr Greenjeans also added 400M shares to the OS.
While proclaiming transparency, he then took the next step to gag the TA. Unreal!
Call him what you will but urdeep has done more DD on this company than most (if not all) on this board. In fact, if you look at ALL of the sticky notes on this ihub thread, you will see that they are ALL from urdeeps extensive DD.
The Longs here were appreciative of the updates when the DD looked promising. Now that the DD is uncovering what appears to be a PR firm/Mgmt looking to cover up facts, broken promises with contract announcements ect. now all of a sudden the ones doing the DD (urdeep) aren't reliable because they don't work for the company?
OK, feel free to keep your head firmly planted in the sand and be prepared to kiss your hard earned money goodbye. At the end of the day, you can blame it all on your OWN ignorance.

TIVU/Marriott contract confirmed. Check this out:
Back on January 24th, TIVU PR'ed the following:
Tivus Announces Internet-Based Video-On-Demand System Without Adult Content
"We are currently in advanced discussions with Marriott International to deploy Tivus' HD Internet-based in-room video-on-demand (VOD) systems," commented Shiva Prakash, Tivus' president and chief executive officer. "In light of Marriott's recent decision to discontinue access to adult movies in its hotels, it is important to note Tivus' HD Internet-based video-on-demand (VOD) system empowers our hotel customers to perfectly tailor the entertainment content to best suit the Hotel Brand experience and their guests' tastes and needs."
Yesterday, TIVU PR'ed the following:
Tivus to Host Shareholder Conference Call
From the PR:
"Because Tivus' shareholders have continued to support us these past seven months, I have decided to personally share with them an update on new hotel installations, as I believe such progress will have a positive influence on shareholder value," commented Shiva Prakash, Tivus' president and chief executive officer.
Some are speculating that the multi-million $ Marriott contract will be announced today while others think it will be more of a general update.
Well, look what Marriott has on their website:
Marriottwebsite
Click on projects and there it is in black and white - Marriott has partnered with TIVU. This is HUGE! TIVU has not PR'ed a contract with Marriott yet. If TIVU announces the Marriott contract at the CC today after market close, this is going to gap big tomorrow.
One more tidbit of DD on TIVU:
Check this out:
Tivus Names Doug Marriott to Professional Advisory Board
Doug Marriott was added to the TIVU BOD back in October of last year.
All of the pieces of the puzzle are coming together. With an OS under 50M and the float reported to be around 34M, this one looks like a diamond in the rough. Do your DD and I think you will agree.
