dumo,
I've heard this line for 8 years with ONEV:
"Follow the money and you can figure it out"
Only problem is I/we haven't been able to find the money for those 8 years. Maybe you could enlighten all of us who haven't been able to find the money. Where is this money trail? It surely isn't in the cash register at ONEV and that's where Dean's been saying it would be for the last 2-3 years. If it's in Carlos Slim's pockets, that doesn't do me/us any good now does it?
Please don't say the money's in Dean's pockets. We're all aware of that.
kk
Thank you, ihub!
fa,
I work for a fortune 500 company and our CEO's salary is a little higher than Dean's. Due to our company losing money for the first time in 50 years, all board members rescinded their bonuses with the exception of 1 member who rescinded half of his bonus. How can ONEV's CEO justify his salary raises? I wish I could have had more questions to ask than just one on the CC.
kk
Anybody else stuck on hold waiting for the CC? I've been on hold for 19 minutes.
kk
daisy,
Good luck to you as well. My sentiment for the job Dean is doing has changed dramatically over the last couple of years. I don't believe shareholders are getting their money's worth from the CEO at the moment. I've e-mailed several questions to be asked as well, but I doubt mine will be answered. As I've said for years now, revenue will turn this stock around or make it vaporize as it has done for the last couple of years. No matter what veno says, you have to show me the money to make me believe.
kk
veno,
You sure do LOL a lot for a someone who has constantly watched his investment vaporize over the last 7-8 years. LOL
kk
veno,
I was under the impression we were to e-mail our questions to IR. As far as participating in a CC, I have had an opportunity to ask questions and, believe it or not, my inference is not wrong. By the way, how would you know I was wrong? Unfortunately, the last CC I wasn't able to get in because they cut the calls off. I wonder why I wasn't picked?
kk
veno,
We'll see how open Dean is to serious questions posed to him by extremely concerned shareholders. I believe Dean will cherry pick the questions and only pick those that he can answer with a positive or somewhat positive spin. I'm hoping Dean will prove me wrong, but that is what usually happens when they screen shareholders questions.
kk
bbb2006,
Yeah...It was good ride! 5.4 on the Richter Scale. I'm on the 19th floor and we were a rockin' and a rollin'.
kk
Thanks, bbb2006! Maybe I'll be lucky enough to be one of the callers to get a few questions answered, but I seriously doubt it.

"To that post I can say without reading..
The Telmex deal is real..The MTNL deal is real and The MIDs deal is real..That significant revenue is coming..Everything to date has led to these deals happening..A little company that makes it big has happened before and is happening right now...veno"
Where? What company? LOL
kk
gannent,
I did send an e-mail to Rob and he did respond to most of our questions. We did have a few questions regarding Dean's pay structure and commission schedule which Rob said he would discuss with Dean and get back to me. That was months ago and we never heard back from Rob. I guess Dean doesn't want to talk to anyone regarding his salary and commission structure.
kk
veno,
"IMO..Onev is about to hit the ball out of the park in both Mexico and India...veno"
I'd settle for a foul ball at the moment.
kk
veno,
I've e-mailed Dean and he's never replied. I don't believe he wants to hear what we have to say to him.
kk
veno,
"The beef is on the dinner table..
Onev negotiating deals...veno"
I've been at the dinner table and I still don't see the beef!!!
kk
veno,
That's great! Where's the beef?

james3225,
My patience has been severely put to the test with Dean Weber and ONEV. In fact, out of a group of about 22 ONEV investors (at last count), only 1 investor is still somewhat patiently waiting. The other 21 would love to have a little sit-down with Dean to vent our frustrations on him and his salary increases. Dean better have something to report and soon because the days and months of patience, patience, patience are quickly disappearing.
Somewhat impatiently,
kk
james3225,
Yep...I know the feeling. I sure hope Dean starts earning his pay very, very SOON (and I don't mean "soon" in ONEV speak).
kk
veno,
I know a bunch of longs and we're not buying any more ONEV until we see revenue or a dollar amount of a contract.
kk
veno,
Any idea how much revenue ONEV is receiving from Inland each month?
kk
james3225,
Your post is exactly how many, many ONEV shareholders feel. I really wish ONEV would have a shareholders meeting soon so we can be heard in person. I would love to tell Dean a little story about what our CEO and other board members did with their salaries and bonuses. I believe Dean would be squirming while I told him how our board members gave back their huge bonuses and froze their salaries in order to keep jobs. We still had layoffs, but many jobs were saved thanks to our board members. Now Dean on the other hand...well, talk about thinking of one's self.
By the way, I also have met Dean and talked to him several times on the phone.
Still hoping for the best,
kk
watta,
I miss purple as well. I never had a chance to meet him. It seemed as though I just missed him the few times I was in San Diego.
kk
gannent,
I do remember stockboy and I miss his "patience is a must" sign off.
Here's a link to some wants and needs for the new iphone.

veno,
Once again...I would never let him go to work for ONEV. He's too damn good at taxes.
kk
mojo,
Maybe I can mention it to him again. I try not to give tips on ONEV any longer. I've seen too many friends and relatives lose hard-earned money who took my "hot tip" on ONEV and ran with it, and I don't want to go down that road again.
I just like to throw in little snippets here and there about ONEV and that's about it. For instance, someone asked me last week about ONEV and I let them know ONEV is finally trying to hire more employees and they came back with the same remark as I did when I first read about the job postings..."That's a good sign!".
kk
mojo,
I wouldn't ever let him leave to go to ONEV anyway. He's too good a tax man. He's saved my rear end for years and years. By the way, he's also a ONEV shareholder...or at least he used to be. I made him about $10k a few years back with a stock tip and he thinks I'm some kind of stock guru. I think ONEV may have shown him I'm less than human when it comes to stocks. LOL
kk
mojo,
I did sell quite a bit of stock a while back when I left, but I have slowly been acquiring more here and there. I'm happy with the number of shares I now have, but I sure would love to buy s'more when things start taking off again.
kk
gannent,
Your posts are greatly appreciated. I believe you and I are alike in the respect that we don't just idly sit back when something is bothering us. You can believe I will be rooting 110% for ONEV's success and, on the other hand, I will also be let it be known when something comes up that doesn't pass the smell test.
GLTY,
kk
Morley,
Too funny!
kk
bbb2006,
I don't have an upgraded account with Ihub. I will tell you that I have always hoped and prayed for ONEV's success. By the way, I am buying drinks for you and several others when ONEV's success does come to fruition.
Does hook post on this board?
kk
ihub,
I agree wholeheartedly. We, as ONEV shareholders, deserve a forum to discuss both positive and negative issues. This is what irks me about this board and why I quit posting a while ago. It has become the right-wing RB ONEV board. Close your ears and eyes to everything around you. Keep your eyes straight ahead and forget about that speeding car coming at you from the left!!!!
kk
omehay,
Are you saying we can't discuss the CEO's compensation package on this board? If not here, where would you recommend we do it because I have sent several e-mails to both ONEV's IR dept and to Cervelle regarding this same issue. Guess how many replies I have received.
kk
mojo,
My tax man is from Nigeria and speaks fluent English and has great command of Chinese and Spanish as well. It's just too bad he barely knows how to turn on his PC.
kk
bbb2006,
Nope. Hook is in Hawaii I believe. I was raised in Kauai and I'm in SoCal. I used the alias orvn on RB.
kk
veno,
You know as well as anyone I have never been in agreement with the CEO's raise. It kind of made me feel as if I had just had my pockets picked if you know what I mean. If I didn't believe in the technology so much, I would have bailed just recently. Damn that great tech! LOL
kk
mojo,
My first buy was in March of 2000 I believe. My brother and I bought a few shares at $21. We were tickled pink when it went up to $27. I've been buying and selling all the way down to .01. I still have a good number of shares I'm waiting to unload as soon as the PPS gets up around a nickel. I'm not certain if I'll be around after that.
How about you?
kk
gannent,
I believe the reason why IRIS hasn't launched in the US is due to ONEV not having the right people in the right position. People who know people in other words. I believe that is the reason why ONEV has lingered for so long. ONEV just doesn't have the right people spearheading the sales division in order to land a big fish in the US. Does the diaper salesman ring a bell? I always wondered what the heck the CEO was thinking with that move.
kk
wattamarune,
Mojo and I go back a long way. We've both been kicked off of the RB board a few times. I haven't been back to the RB board in years, but back in our heyday mojo (rock) and I were two of ONEV's biggest cheerleaders. Veno wasn't even around at that time. Oh my, how the times have changed.
kk
james3225,
A point very-well taken. I work for a company which has recently seen layoff after layoff after layoff. The latest round of subprime fallout has trickled down to our business. It got so bad that our CEO declined to accept his $1,500,000.00 bonus and the rest of the board members followed as well. Only one board member kept his bonus and that was accepting only 1/2 of his bonus for a measly $500,000+. I can't tell you how many jobs were saved due to this act of benevolence, but I may still be employed thanks to our board members.
Now on the other hand, ONEV's CEO gives himself a raise at a time when revenues are nearly zip, zero, zilch. Uh-huh. Let me see if I can see a correlation here. Uh-uh. Nope. I can't seem to figure that one out. How anyone, including the true longs, can accept this is beyond me. I sure as heck didn't and neither did any one of the other ONEV investors in our company (which are quite a few). Needless to say, each and every one of us had the same jaw-dropping look when we heard about Dean's latest move to add to his financial whirlwind.
Anyway, James, we can only hope that the dilution can come to an end and all shareholders can finally see revenue generated in the numbers the CEO has been alluding to for the last 1-2 years. I, for one, have stopped buying any more shares, as have all the other ONEV shareholders in our company. Maybe when the financial picture brightens for ONEV will I then consider investing more hard-earned dollars, but until then, this bank is not open for business.
Still hoping for the best,
kauaikid
morley480,
I've been lurking and getting to the point where I couldn't tell who was who. I wish some people wouldn't argue with some of these idiots because, after a while, you can't tell who is the idiot!
