Wow...Where did that come from? It kept better stored on some computer server than in my porous memory. LOL

I was one who missed out on almost 2000% profit back in that spring. But $50 a share wasn't enough....I was sure it would hit $100 in the next few weeks. And when it dropped like a stone, I was sure it would recover it's highs. Greed is not good, not matter how many times I watch Gordon Gecko..LOL
I too have added substantially in the last six months....just had a feeling things were going to break and decided to go "all in" with my investing play money.
But this time I just want to be careful to make a decent profit for my 12 yrs of waiting. I don't expect lifestyle changes.
I have to agree. Too many on this board remember the runs this stock made back in the 1999-2000 era. They have been holding and waiting for that second chance at instant riches and expect WAVX to skyrocket again.
I have tempered my expectations and although the future looks promising, I don't expect the kind of share price rises from early 2000 to happen again. And I just don't hold to the hockey stick theory.
A slow steady climb,realistic gains, some spurts and backfilling is more what I expect. I remember and still fear the "irrational exuberance" of the past and the pain it caused many. It was like "shock and awe" with the stock price of WAVX and left many of us standing blinded and paralyzed.
JMHO...and I reserve the hope of being wrong.

Wavoid Facebook group
We've had 18 members stop in and join. If you would like to put a face to the posters we have all followed for so many years before we go to Las Vegas, please stop in and join. Seems though we are not getting any screen names posted...not sure why...but it's good to see fellow wavoids together anyways.
Come check us out at

For everyone who can't wait for Las Vegas
Or those that can't make it there.
I have seen many hoping to be able to put a face to the nicknames of the posters we have come to know over these last 12+ yrs...and the newbies too of course.
I have created a Facebook group titled...Wavoids. I'm no expert on Facebook and maybe anyone who is more familiar with it can help. But I invite anyone who wants to "see" our fellow Wavoids to join me there and post a picture and perhaps their story. Maybe we can get it off the ground.
I've been in WAVX since 1997...just before the supposed IBM deal and first delisting. Been though the fantastic highs of spring 2000 and the demoralizing lows of the past 9 yrs. But I've stayed long and added through out the worst times. I feeling as confident as ever and would like to contribute if I can. Come check out Facebook groups....Wavoids

State sues Health Net over breach
http://www.nhregister.com/articles/2010/01/14/business/c1-_lawsuit14.txt
Snackman... with due respect and appreciation for all you do....Why talk about celebrating just getting out of the RED? Aren't celebrations for something better...like big profits?
But then again, I suppose just getting our original investments back after these 12+ yrs is a huge win for most of us.
I can't afford a Vegas celebration on just breakeven though LOL.
Not unlikely that Tuesday's gap will be closed before we go higher.
Like I have said...that will be a very hard decision.
But I think I will sell half my position when it became a double and hold the other half to see how far it could really go. I my case, that would be at about $8.00
See how expectations rise so quickly....I already expect the stock to quintuple. LOL

I've not said that the good news and rising share price are scary. It's the expectations and predictions of $20,$30 and $50 that remind me of times gone by that cost many Wavoids dearly.
I have held this stock since 1996. Bought my first shares at 1 7/16 (yes..remember fractions). I could have greatly improved my lot in life had I not fallen in with the hype and dreamy expectations of the late 90's.
It's just that I see the same type of expectations rising from the posts during the last week. Yes...the news is good and yes the prospects are promising...but I'm not fooling myself into thinking these are the bubble days again. And I hope I have learned by the missing the opportunity for substantial profits because of lofty expectations back in those days.
I am as solid a Wave supporter as any here...but this time I want to make some money, not become a king.
The recent exuberance of some of the posts (be it rational or not) is a bit scary.
I remember all too well 3/7/00 and 3/28/00 when I had opportunity to sell $3 shares for $50. But I was sure it was going to continue to skyrocket over $100. (After all, weren't all companies rising like that during those days?) Then when it started falling back just as fast as it had risen, I held on just waiting for it to recover it's highs. I'm sure a lot of us have this same story and have kicked ourselves for the last 10 yrs.
I feel much more confident that this relatively slow steady rise in the share price is a lot safer that the meteoric blast off in 2000..and that this time there is good reason for it..but I will still be careful not to let greed burn me this time. Deciding to sell will be a very hard call when having owned a stock as long as this one. WAVX may not make me as rich as I thought it once would. But I feel now at least I will not lose any of my investment. Besides...I've still got a bit more to go before even seeing green.

Why is no one considering a buyout offer brewing to be the cause of this run up?
We know that will be coming some day...if not sooner then later.

I've been here since before the very first de-listing....1996? Should have sold at $50, but was greedy. I've learned my lesson...I'll sell for $50 this time.

Laptop Hall Of Shame
http://www.forbes.com/2006/09/06/laptops-hall-of-shame-cx_res_0907laptops.html?partner=yahootix
When the history of personal privacy is written--and there are persons who monitor this sort of thing--they will call this "The Year of the Stolen Laptop."
The number of incidents has been astounding, topped by the theft of a laptop computer last May from the residence of a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs staff person; the computer contained millions of names, birth dates and Social Security numbers. Law enforcement officers actually recovered the stolen laptop and arrested two suspects, and they have found no evidence that the data inside was used to compromise anybody's privacy.
But up to 26 million veterans and active-duty military personnel still experienced the stress of knowing that their information was available to persons who might have used it in adverse ways.
Each had to go through the Kafkaesque ritual of checking their credit reports, notifying banks and other businesses, sometimes consuming hours of personal time to get to the bottom of the matter. They learned that the greatest danger of being in a database that is lost or stolen is having your Social Security number vulnerable. With those nine digits, identity thieves can order products and services by misappropriating your credit report or, less likely, they can establish new identities for immigrants without documentation.
But institutions that are storing sensitive personal information on laptop computers apparently still are not motivated to take even the most basic precautions.
ING's (nyse: IND - news - people ) U.S. Financial Services office in Washington, D.C., lost the Social Security numbers of 13,000 public employees. Royal Ahold (nyse: AHO - news - people ) subsidiary Ahold USA experienced the loss of data on employee stock options entrusted to Deloitte Accountants, one month after Ahold had information on its grocery-store retirees lost in a laptop taken from Electronic Data Systems (nyse: EDS - news - people ). And at Equifax (nyse: EFX - news - people ), the regulated credit-bureau company, up to 2,500 employees' Social Security numbers went missing when one of its people wandering in London had a laptop stolen.
Mercantile Potomac Bank in Bethesda, Md., lost Social Security numbers and account numbers of nearly 50,000 customers; Aetna (nyse: AET - news - people ) lost 38,000 customer records; Hewlett-Packard (nyse: HPQ - news - people ) lost records on 196,000 current and former employees. At Fidelity Investments, 196,000 client records went astray.
The list goes on: Mount St. Mary's Hospital in upstate New York lost 17,000 patient records; Vermont State College lost 20,000 faculty, staff and student files; Hotels.com, a subsidiary of Expedia (nasdaq: EXPE - news - people ), lost the records of 250,000 customers entrusted to Ernst & Young.
The Florida state Department of Transportation experienced two device thefts in one week in July--one of them from a state-owned vehicle while a DOT agent ate lunch inside a restaurant. The device included the Social Security numbers of 133,000 Floridians.
Data in these volumes and with this sensitivity customarily had been stored in central computers, but no longer. The records are now transferred to electronic notebooks, apparently so that employees may massage the data while traveling and display it at out-of-town meetings. That might be understandable. But can't they take precautions before they permit this? Was the material not password-protected? Don't these companies get computers with locks and keys? Was the data encrypted? Ernst & Young didn't encrypt the Hotels.com customer records that it allowed an employee to carry around. The Florida database was part of an anti-fraud investigation, but it wasn't encrypted.
The monthly newsletter I publish, Privacy Journal, reported 24 serious instances of Social Security numbers and other sensitive data compromised through stolen or lost laptops in 2006. The newsletter called it the "Lost or Stolen Laptops Hall of Shame." And we still have four months left in 2006. There were at least ten incidents during the final four months of 2005. All these incidents involved companies that handle personal information routinely. (Apparently too routinely!)
The biggest insult was that the Federal Trade Commission, which is responsible for protecting Americans from fraud and identity theft, let two of its own attorneys leave the building in June with data about individuals--addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, bank-account numbers--on their laptops. The devices were stolen. The FTC said it would provide free credit monitoring for those persons whose private data was compromised.
California and more than 20 other states, plus the City of New York, require companies to reveal these security breaches when they happen. Still, we must be hearing only about a small percentage, because in a new report by the Ponemon Institute, 80% of the 480 companies and government agencies it surveyed reported losing data through laptop theft--all in the past 12 months. The worse news is that an additional 10% of the companies queried did not even know whether they had lost data this way. Only 10% could safely say that they had not.
The companies were also asked how long it would take to determine exactly what sensitive data had been lost on a mobile device, and the most common answer was it was impossible to do so.
Now, there may be reasons to transport company data in mobile electronic media--people do work at home and on the road, after all. And most of the evidence so far shows that thieves are interested in the hardware, not the data.
But we need some legislation to require--at least for the next couple of years--that databases with individuals' account numbers, medical data and financial information not leave a company's premises in portable media like a laptop or personal data assistant--and certainly not without encryption or password protection.
With or without government intervention, encryption and passwords should certainly be the first line of defense for any corporation. Perhaps this will force auto and home burglars to move on to some other article of choice for stealing.
The next step: Figuring out how to make personal data self-destruct when the laptop leaves the custody of the owner.

The stock always re-visits the last PP level.Everytime...it'll rise from here. Added 10% to my shares.
That one works..Thanks eom.
I get the same page for both links...The page you requested may no longer exist on Dell.com
Why is that so hard to believe? I bought today also. Added another 15%.
Yayapapadoc....Although we never met, I always regarded you as one of the good guys here and always chose to read what you had to say. You made me laugh many times and I will miss seeing your friendly, familiar name on these boards. God Bless you and those you have left behind.
Is Wave still involved with this site?
http://www.after12club.com/
I was cleaning out some old bookmarks and checked this one before deleting it. I was under the impression Wavexpress divested this porn link. Now it reads temporarily down due to upgrade..Wavexpress.
Has anyone checked this site lately?(You can admit it, we won't laugh). Is this a new development coming or just a dead link?
>>> If people would ignore the morons, much of the problem would go away.<<<
Gotta agree 100% with that statement. The world is full of morons with whom we must deal everyday. It's just part of life, and we do it. There really is no sanctuary. Not for most of us anyway. :)
I've been in this investment since 1996. I have followed the boards from Silicon Investor and Yahoo, to Raging Bull and Agoracom and to IHUB. I am just a lurker for the most part and know my opinion is probably not important to the more familiar names who post here, but I will miss following Wave's developments and DD finds here. I think it's a bad idea to run from supposed bashers by making a premium board. I'm sorry I won't be able to follow.
I don't think we will do 5+ million today. I think traders were a bit over enthusiastic in pre-market. I would not be surprised to even see the share price fall into the red at the end of the day as they get out. But it does show how many eyes are watching closely for the big blast that's coming. I believe that will happen with a Dell announcement.
Of course I may be wrong...don't see this press release on Yahoo yet.
May God bless and heal him.As an avid skier myself, he has my prayers for a full and speedy recovery. We seldom think of it, but tragic events like this bring the dangers of our sport to the forefront.
Maybe. I would not be surprised to see malagulu's posts disappear soon. They mysteriously vanished back then too.
If you were around prior to the Palladium annoucement you would understand. I will be buying more shares tommorrow.
I believe SKS is being honest and realistic. We are all expecting him to do things that are yet beyond the control of the company.
If it happens it happens,and everyone will be very happy. If it doesn't happen as fast as you want.....go to the track with your money.
Refer to the post to which I replied. Perhaps Vacationhouse has a link.
So if I'm understanding this correctly....MSFT may have decided not to compete with the software Wave is providing for TPM management. This is good, isn't it?
MSFT to scrub NGSCB?
Would not this last paragraph seem very damaging to Wave's prospects?
"One feature that could be thrown-out is Microsoft's Next Generation Secure Computing Base (NGSCB), the digital rights management (DRM) system-on a chip architecture planned for Longhorn. Hardware manufacturers who would have to support NGSCB in products like graphics cars and mice have not been building for the system in large numbers, indicating this is one feature Microsoft can afford to drop for now."
Unless MSFT has decided to adopt Wave???
Noticed no comments..any opinions?
I have received a solicitation from Schiffrin & Barroway to join the class action suit they have filed on behalf of RAFAT DAWOD,(I wonder if he posts here) individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated.
Has anyone else got one of these yet? Will I be receiving these from all the firms? I do feel obligated to at least return their postage paid envelope with my thanks for their concern.
Open market purchase by an insider???
I don't remember ever seeing this happen. Yahoo reported transactions only go back to 2001. Does anyone know when this last happened? It seems like it was always an exercise of options. An actual market purchase?? Very encouraging!
Certainly one of the most ridiculous basher posts I've read.
You really should let all those little companies in the TCG know they are wasting their time.
As of June 30, 2003 Wave held 4,785,583 common shares of SSP valued at $4,546,304
from the latest 10Q
Perhaps a news release before the open?
Either the buyer knows something or is just a fool.

This sounds much like wavexpress. I wonder if there are any patent issues.
