>> Good post, Sahd. I agree completely.
alj14 <<
God, how shocking
Yep though as I stated before, not certain on timing. It is my belief that in spite of Sunncomm's best efforts, they are going to succeed.
Here's the thing... there is not going to be anything like partial success here. Either they succeed big or not at all.
I still firmly and sternly believe that should they succeed, Macrovision will have little choice but to eliminate them in order to protect their own turf. Cash is king and Macrovision is a nice little cash cow.
It also seems apparent to me that some of the more boisterous among us are nothing less than pump&dumpers wanting to run the price up for a quick profit from our recent lows.
Nothing I could possibly say would ever be as entertaining as reading your non-stop pumping... you sure talk a lot of smack for someone I imagine won't even be attending the annual shareholders meeting.
The difference is that I don't post hype, conjecture wishful thinking and fantasy as though it were factual information... oh yeah, and I'm moderately amusing at times not childishly boring.
>> SCMI rallies before the annual shareholder's meeting. <<
That's exactly because each year before the meeting we get unrelenting rumors, hype, promises and exaggerations and each year the company used that opportunity to sell shares to raise capital to stay in business... now a skeptical individual might draw a connection between these pump rumors, a runup and then selloff in the share price... but hey, what do I know, the Koolaid tastes great
>> does Joanie really love Chachi? <<
Joanie was in fact, simply stringing Chachi along while waiting for a better catch. Unfortunately for Chachi he also held a large position in Sunncomm which he had purchased with all of his savings.
In the end the joke was on Joanie as Sunncomm, despite the protestations of STEHSUCKER, rose to over $10 per share and Chachi retired and moved to Beverly hills where he now has his own sitcom. A sad and poignant tale that holds lessons for each one of us.
S - Sunncomm

My sources don't necessarily disagree with yours but after systematically being deceived I tend to put more faith in public announcements that are fact.
I fully expect numerous positive things to occur but I also recognize there are plenty of pitfalls and issues that confront us. Regardless of what you believe, we have very weak management. I've heard all of the suggestions our brain dead genius advisors have come up with and to date they've all amounted to squat, wasted time, money and opportunities.
I don't much like bashers but I like pumper cheerleaders even less and their agenda is always less obvious. I've been a long time player here, but these folks arrive suddenly, posting all sorts of unverifyable nonsense, hoping to run the price up so they can dump the shares they scooped up at the lows.
But no one questions them because they are spouting exactly what gullable longs WANT to hear, especially after such a long drought.
Stocks really aren't all that complicated... they need to file (on time) be on a real exchange, do what they promise and execute. If the fundamentals are taken care of and you have a rising revenue stream, then there is a corresponding rise in share value.
Or you can invest on wishes and hopes instead... sort of the loto method of investing.
>> Wrong, I very clearly posted those things that were my interpretation and my opinion from a source I value. <<
If that were the case, I wouldn't feel obliged to counter your posts, but instead you phrase them in a manner that purports them as facts... you know how to write well enough that this is no accident.
>> Your persistance in trying too hard to discredit me, tells us something about what we can interpret as your agenda. <<
You need no help from me, you're doing just fine on your own.
Yes, just did that to see if you were paying attention
Hey allow me a few typos, I've never posted this much in a single day
>> I'm adding some realistic balance to others pessimism. <<
What pessimism? I don't see anyone posting the usual short attack stuff:
"SCMI is going to zero you losers"
"Greedy longs will be punished for their greed"
"SCMI is a scam"
These would be the sorts of posts one would expect from shorts and mercifully unlike RB, these are few and far between.
What you are in fact doing is posting conjecture as if it were fact and you sir are being irresponsible... your agenda is clear and for the record, your behavior is exactly what one would expect from a traditional pump&dump. I've been here for a long time and you suddenly show up, posting unverifiable things as if they were fact and painting anyone who disagrees with you as a basher or a short... shame shame shame sir
>> But, when a guy claims to own "millions" of shares and also claims to have recently sold "millions" in the 8 cent range.
I smell some bs. Sorry...just calling em how I see em. <<
Fair enough, that's how I see nearly every post you've made to date.
I had my chance to sell at .40 cents already with my "millions" of shares and didn't as I believe what I was being spoon fed from management that wonderful things were about to happen soooooooon... I'm still waiting.
If I were going to buy the shares back I would have done so in the .05 range. If my margin issues subside I may add some back from what I sold but again, my own holdings or trading is really none of your business anymore than yours is to mine.
>> Readers here are smart enough to edit what they read. <<
They have yet to prove that since they seem to swallow your posts without so much as a skeptical wimper.
>> Did you also say you didn't trade shares, am unclear on that one? <<
What's unclear? I sold some of my position at .08 cnets and I was quite upfront about it. If I were "trading" shares then I would have bot them back in the .05's.
Fwiw, I did not sell for any other reason than margin issues. I made my bed here and intend to sleep in it good or bad.
What is unclear to me however, is what my personal trading patterns have to do with you and why I should care what you think my agenda is or isn't?
>> The current state of affairs are changing and I wasn`t trying to be Stern with you!!!! <<
I believe/hope that is true... I would just like to see some refrain from recklessly speculative psotings written in such a manner as to be perceived almost as fact.
>> Balance. <<
yes, please show some!!
>> So, STEHSUCKER, which company are you buying now? <<
I'm not bright enough to figure it out so I've purchased Sunncomm shares expecting to get QTIG as a dividend. This is part of what is wrong with the entire QTIG affair, it adds confusion for shareholders, never a good thing.
>> hey, i like koolaid! especially tropical punch!! <<
I've quenced my thirst on more than my share
>> a 1:100 rs?? i would hate peter forever <<
Why? You didn't seem to mind while he was diluting the crap outta this and a move like this, while technically not a reverse is nevertheless revenue neutral... your equity position remains exactly as before.
I was merely pointing out the current state of affairs... we are not shipping a significant number of BMG titles. Now perhaps that will change, as projections now suggest, but to date, we have done squat... that's all the sentence meant.
>> SCMI is making very important announcements with much more to come soon IMO. The difference in getting in at .06 vs .08 may soon be a moot point. <<
How exactly do you know this? Ohh wait, you don't, it's simply "In My Opinion". So in other words, you've taken what you HOPE will transpire and then confidently posted it as if it were fact.
Everyone might want to recall the numerous pumpers this board has suffered over the last two years who consistenly claimed "big news" was just around the corner. Many listened to this repeated hype and were burned by it.
Buying any stock at it's lows is usually a decent entry barring additional unexpected bad news... what happens to the share price if Macrovision suddenly lands Apple or begins shipping to EMI/Universal? I don't see that happening but then two years ago I was nearly as enthusiastic as sahd3g and can recall dressing down a few negative posters who turned out to be absolutely correct while I was dead certain and dead wrong.
>> Apple, BMG are likely to send this one higher soon. <<
Really? And how do you come up with this? We've already proven to BMG that they make more money using our technology and yet our relationship remains stillborn with them. I don't understand what's holding them up but clearly it's something and based on the past, one could not accept the above statement regarding impending adoption moving forward with BMG, let alone Apple with whom we have had ZERO previous relationship... this is such blatant hype I'm amazed THIS post doesn't get removed.
>> Then add real big news like Apple and BMG....and .19 before the shareholder's meeting looks easy <<
Ok, you just counted the supposed hypothetical Apple/BMG news twice
>> BTW, IMO, if CNBC were to note that MVSN lost 145 million CD's to SCMI...we could rally really fast with the CNBC effect. <<
Again, mention this on CNBC and the shorts will then become broadly aware of this. From their perspective this looks like a pump&dump and they can be counted on to behave accordingly so be careful of what you wish for.
Macrovision derives it's very considerable revenue stream from mostly OTHER things than CD's so it's not fair to characterize the 145 POTENTIAL CD's as a lost opportunity for Macrovision. We haven't sold 145million CD's yet, that is simply a projection that may prove to be underestimated, right on target or hopelessly overinflated... no one can say which at this point but you'd have CNBC quoting this as if it were fact?
It is clear who has an agenda alright.. I have seldom seen such purposeful and deliberate posting of hype as fact
You want more shorts here? You put the Sunncomm story on CNBC and we'll have our own tsunami of shorts attacking this position.
Dude... do you listen at all or do you just hear what you want to?
Management, not me, has been obsessing over the "irrelevant" issues in their past. So much so that they devised the QTIG convolution as a potential solution... not to mention AGAIN that management told me this on numerous occassions but please explain to me what other possible motivation could they have had for introducing an unnecessarily complicated arrangement into the mix?
Your spouting that it is a simple matter to become fully reporting flies in the face of reality and specifically what has happened here. ANy long who has been around for any length of time understands this and your saying the sky is green doesn't make it so.
You didn't by any chance have a position in the former Iraq Ministry of Information did you?
Assuming they were to generate substantial reveunes in the 2006 - 2007 time frame I could see some of these being applied towards a share buyback or a stock dividend, however...
This is not going to happen. I have already lain out the only logical course of action and one that has been repeated by management for over two years... QTIG exists soley to allow us to become fully reporting. The only WAY QTIG can enable this is for Sunncomm to be folded into QTIG. During this process it will not be difficult to set the conversion prices into an effective reverse split by giving you less shares of QTIG for every share of Sunncomm you tender.
If the ratio were say 1:10 then you would drop the total share count to 44 mill + whatever the existing QTIG share count is. Personally I would like to see 1:100 which would then drop us to 4.4 mill shares + whatever QTIG already has outstanding.
Btw.. how many shares DOES QTIG have outstanding (fully converted)
The less shares we ultimately have outstanding, the easier it is to move the stock (in either direction) but does allow for stupidity to take over in a tsunami way ala TASR (small float) assuming we are successful in grabbing a large portion of the CD market... something yet to be proven.
Stingray, you are way off base and those comments regarding me are hardly sagent, though they are Stern...
LOL... cause I know who my source is
Sadly, without the corporate structure fixed, your optimism will not be rewarded. This is but one reason I have harped on the corporate stuff for well over a year now both on the boards and with management.
I could easily drop rumors that aren't rumors but I have no interest in sharing quarters with Martha. I know this board wants desperately to believe in the tooth fairy, but I'm trying to help keep rampant speculation to a minimum. Perhaps this is a losing cause since no matter how ridiculous the post here is, people seemingly would prefer to listen to that than common sense.
Or perhaps I've simply not been Stern enough...
I actually have plenty already and sold several million up in the 8's. I may chose to buy them back (or not) dependent on some other investments that are significantly more conservative.
I understand you are optimistic, I'm just advising you to be careful what you post as if it were fact when really it is just hopeful conjecture and rumors from your source.
Sorry, just trying to keep it real. There ARE opportunities here but it serves no one to hype fantasy wish lists as though they were facts. With this company I'll believe it when they issue a press release and even then keep my other hand on my wallet.
My sources are unimpeachable and have a very vested interest
Hey.. this is way too rosy for me to ignore and way too speculative. You are not doing new investors any service to raise false hopes with this stuff, posting these items as if they are facts...
>> Fully reporting as SCMI.ob in the first half of '05 <<
Maybe... those of us that have been around for more than five minutes have been hearing this same song for two years now... still waiting and I'll believe it when I see it... besides which, as I've posted previously, there is absolutely NO WAY that Sunncomm is going to become fully reporting... that is what QTIG was all about, an avenue to become fully reporting.
>>Progress on DVD protection is real.****Talks in progress with major players. <<
This isn't true... we have no DVD product, which would be necessary first in order to have talks with anyone.
>> Major rollout with BMG/Sony soon.****** BMG pushing for iPod compatibility. <<
We don't know this... it would be nice, but there are absolutely zero facts to support this assertion and what on Earth could BMG do to pressure Apple on granting iPod compatibility? ... this is nothing but wishful thinking. BMG hasn't done squat despite clear proof that CD's encoded with MediaMax make more money for BMG... baffling to me, but them are the facts as they presently exist.
>> Macrovision is not IMac ready, so they are far from iPod compatibility. <<
We don't know this. Macrovision could announce on Monday that they've cut a deal with Apple. In fact they are just as far from iPod compatibility as we are.
>> $2 per share in 2007? <<
And I might win the lottery next week... equaly as likely imo. $2 per share means a market cap of 2 x 440 miln = 880miln or nearly a billion. Macrovision earns hundreds of millions per year and has a market cap of 1.3 billion... we presently HOPE to earn roughly $5 million for 2005?
I am more optimistic right now than I've been in some time, but it does not pay to become irrationally enthusiastic. The history of this company keeping it's projections and promises is dismal at best.
Duh?
Requirements of Nasdaq are too high, it's Amex or nothing at all
They can't become fully reporting.... there are skeletons in the scummee closet they don't want the SEC poking around to see. If they become fully reporting it will be by merging into QTIG
>> Peter has stated many things in the past 2 weeks. <<
LOL! Not to be negative (Basher!) but Peter has said so many things over the last two years, I doubt anyone here could recall even half of them.
You have reason to be encouraged, but certainly not giddy... not yet anyway
those are realistic goals and reasonable expectations as well... very "sagent" posts from you so far, welcome to scummeville
Good post... gee I think I've been saying this for over a year? You must be a basher! j/k
I would prefer to stick with what the company has advised as opposed to reckless speculation that only serves to dissapoint shareholders when it is proven unfounded. Better to expect 150 mln and be surprised to the upside.
I would caution, there is no quick train to lotteryville here and the company has a great deal of work yet to do to be taken seriously by anyone of merrit... no offense intended to anyone here, but collectively you have very little buying power as compared to an institutional investor that presently wouldn't be seen with 100 miles of this stock.
Patience would be a very good thing here and I suspect, though this may sound Stern, that 2006 will be the real payoff should this company succeed to the degree with which I hope they will.
There may well be smaller tid bits for all I know, however I was referring to the 2nd of three items
The companies Board of Directors decides and you have to accept whatever offer is made. The BOD is under a fiduciary obligation to work in the best interests of the owners/shareholders in making it's decision and the price is generally quite a bit above the current market price, whatever that might happen to be.
lol.. sound advice
Two Weeks
it doesn't work... that is why naked shorting is so destructive
