OT: What are your plans for New Years? What are your traditions? Go to Exhib. SH
Hi everyone, I've been laying low lately. Trying to avoid negativity as much as possible. I'm enjoying having my son home from your neck of the woods Dahlias. We had a nice party here on Christmas Eve. Forty pounds of Stone Crabs, shrimp, two bushels of oysters steamed on the grill. LOTS AND LOTS OF COOKIES!!!!! And all the usual finger foods including some REALLY good Vermont Cheddar cheese. Fresh sqeezed grapefruit and oranges from our trees. We all had a really nice time. I'm just now recovering and only four days till New Years. At least I won't have to do any of the work for this one. We'll probably go visit friends on a river @ 35 miles north of St Pete. Our tradition is to light a candle and put it in a toy boat and watch it float around the bay. It's a Japanese thing in remembrance of lost loved ones. We've got some really cool fireworks (mortars and cakes) everyone around the bay sets them off. FUN!!! Hope you all are enjoying your holidays. BdM
From what I understand about the company, financing is not a problem. Rich is apparently wealthy enough to finance the production personally. SH
Hi everyone, been lurking here for awhile. You allhave been covering everything so I felt no need to post. Did I miss the news on AMEX?? Where was it posted??? SH
Lizard, I can remember doing "The Happy Dance" when this stock hit $5.00 the first time. I just spoke with someone this morning whose certificates are already mature. He has no intention to sell. Think this through unemotionally if you can when deciding if you're gonna sell. I'm not trying to persuade you one way or another as I have no crystal ball. I can't sell, my restictions won't come off until May. But I wouldn't sell now even if they were unresticted. JMHO. Good luck!!! SH
Thanks S&P. SH
CVIEW, I went to pick up my camera today. Before I left the house I called and asked who I should speak with about the concerns posted last night re production issues. I was told I should call investor relations. Didn't get a return call until late afternoon. Was told they were not aware of any production problems. Was also told that Rich was really a stickler for making sure that EVERYTHING was right before going into mass production, the first "batch" was shipped about three weeks ago. As far as going into 2001 with a $9,000,000 "backorder" was told to keep in mind that SEVU was not only manufacturing Secure View but also the marine cameras. Now, can you or anyone else remind me where I had read @ the gov't cameras being produced in advance of the individual orders. I thought it was in a view but can't find it. Was this from a poster?? SH
CVIEW, clarification on my post #2932 to you: I neglected to say that I am pleased that the stock (not SEVU for those of you just tuning in) is now trading in the mid $20.00 range. Sorry
Bull, with all due respect, I don't think it's appropriate for us to try and assist in production issues. I'm sure that Seaview is doing all they can to speed up the process. I'm going to Seaview tomarrow to pick up my super-mini underwater camera. I will do some "fishing" while I'm there. Maybe I'll be able to get some info that will help to settle evryone's nerves. SH
CView, I have had this very same thing happen with another company. Bought in at 12 and rode it down to 6. I don't mean to sound redundant, but I BELIEVED IN THE COMPANY. I don't invest for the "quick buck". I look for investments that are promising in the long term. Step back and look at the big picture. If you like what you see stay put...if you don't sell. Seaview is a very young company but, inpite of it's "youth" has accomplished amazing things. SH
Arrow, three years ago we privately invested 25K in a local company. The company will finally start showing a profit in 2001. Was I concerned? A little. Did I obsess over it? Absolutely not. I believed in the product and knew that as in any new company it was going to take time and a lot of patience. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that SeaView is only @ two years old. I think they have done tremendous things. I am not concerned about the share price because I BELIEVE IN THE PRODUCT. I was not so naive as to believe there would not be a few bumps in the road. I just took Bette Davis' advice and fastened my seat belt. SH
Have you visited the WLDC board on RB? Seems like today they finally change the letters to match the symbol. No news on this company for a long time. SH
Restricted shares were sold at !.00 then the split so sold at .50 and then at 2.00. Don't know about the figures prior to Oct, 1999. SH
Sorry to leave you out here all by yourself. I hardly check this thread anymore. The only thing I know is that unless there's a forward split down the road, this baby's gonna have to go to $30.00 just for me to break even. SH
As far as I know, the resticted shares that would be sold would only be for a profit, assuming that they were purchased at between .50 and 2.00. Therefor, there would only be capital gains tax, no write off. JMHO SH
Fanclub, you get a gold star. LOL SH
Just ordered my husband's Christmas gift from SeaView. Went with the super-mini. I think it will be really be helpful when looking for those Red Fish in Tampa Bay. They become elusive in the winter time and the water is so cold it will be helpful in that it will save a lot of wading time. Going down to HQ tomararrow to pick it up. Can't wait to play with it. Only two weeks till Christmas, I'll let you all know how well it works. SH
FG, time will tell. BdM
Now that the election decision appears to be over, IMO, the candidate that "won", will be more successful than the one that didn't win, in reaching out across party lines. After all,he is a party boy. LOL. I may sound naive here, but I believe that that was the reason why he was re-elected as governor in his home state by such an overwhelming majority. This is also evidenced by the fact that many Democrats from Texas campained for him across the country. I hope I'm right.. I pray I'm right. Time will tell. Otherwise, it's gonna be a LONG four years. Matt, what do you think???? BdM
Well then THANK GOD that it didn't come to that!!!!! Looks like things are finally winding down. Let's hope that the election uncertainty theory is right and we'll now see a turn-about in the market. FG, sorry about your guy, I know you have your reasons for supporting him but, for likes of me I can't imagine what!!! Any way, my condolances. Long Live George and Dick, HIP HIP HOORAY...... HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!!! OK, I'm done gloating now. BdM
Bull, let's take this conversation to EC. SH
Bravo, Dk, Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SH
I'd go with the twin cam. SH
FCB, the commercials were about Secureview. They ran over a period of several weeks. They showed Ditka installing one. Showed a woman watching her baby etc. Very well done, I might add. There was a lot of discussion about the commercials. Sorry I don't have time now to go back and research now. Scroll back on your message list and you'll find it. Look around July/August/Sept. There was a lot of discussion so it should be pretty easy to find. SH
Why would you say your post would be deleted? You are following the rules, voted on by the early posters to this thread. Go back to the first 50 posts and the rules agreed upon are CLEARLY laid out. SH
Byeoh, I have to strongly disagree about PR's being worthless. There was no news on WLDI for months and look what happened there. Remember the market conditions and think about how well this little BB stock has held up. SH
FCB, the SEVU ads with Ditka were aired on the weather channel nationally a few months ago. My brother saw one in Philadelphia, we saw them here in Florida. The responses were significant. With sales outpacing production, why spend more advertising dollars when the money could be better spent elsewhere???
Re this being a "biased board". There have been many "critical post pertaining to SEVU that have not been deleted. Only posts that bash with no foundation, personnal attacks etc get deleted. SH
Yes you do gotin, thanks. I noticed others are doing the same. SH
This whole thing is really a mess. Where would it go if Jistice Scalia did recuse himself and the decicion ended up in a tie???
Brettin, Fanclub's post this time was "borderline" but because he has gone so far over the line in the past, I guess FG thought he might be in need of a "time out" I am really appreciative that there is a dump button here. We can criticize
each other's ideas without it degenerating to nastiness. It's kind of like the "road rage" syndrome. On message boards, with their anonymity, people lose the self control that makes us behave like adults. We seem to say anything thatpops into our heads without the fear of consequences. JMHO SH
She, I cracked up when FG "welcomed the gamen" to IHUB. I was guilty of a little playful teasing of Bulldop the other day. I was joking in case anyone may have misinterpreted my post. I want to take this opportunity thank him for his diligence in fighting the good fight against the evil shorters on the other board. Thank you Bulldop. SH
Sorry, I thought you were referring to the "adult beverage" pink lady. LOL BdM
FG, are you implying that we are lushes?? Mon Dieu. If that's the case, for me, Scottish Lass or Knotty Head might be more appropriate. I don't care for the sweet stuff. BdM
iam,I took it to be a "Frat" house. If they hook up the cameras to a computer, I hope they don't post a link. That would be just a little TOO much information. SH
Golf, the only thing I can say is believe what you read about the shorts covering their butts. As a tax payer here in St. Petersburg, proud home of corporate headquarters of SEVU, I am relieved to know that SEVU will be paying out a lot of money in taxes to the City of St Petersburg or at least to Pinellas County.
OT, We loaded our bikes onto the back of our truck and went downtown to watch the boat parade. It was particularly pleasant this year in that the weather was absolutely perfect. The boats were really fun this year. My favorite was one with a snow man fishing off the bow. 2'nd place in my vote was a boat with musical notes, their sound system was first rate. Third place, IMO, went to a boat that was dressed like a sleigh and had wings on its back. There was one moment during the parade that kind of unnerved me. A medium sized sailboat cut across the parade line and looked very close to crashing into one of the boats in the parade. I thought to myself, is this #######, a poster on the other board. Nah, what are the odds. Went on with our bike ride and stopped at various places and enjoyed our "little big town", I really love living here!!!! SH
Bulldop, ditto. EOM SH
OT: Bull, please do not respond to my earlier posts by saying something like "Great Posts", even though I KNOW THEY WERE!!!!! My old arthritic knees would not allow me to live up to my reputation as a "Cheerleader". LOL SH
Golf, I noticed that your post was copied to "the other board" and SEVU's sincerity was immediately attacked. I posted a few days ago about an article from the "St Petersburg Times" that also demonstrated Mr McBride's altruistic nature. It's sad to me that there are so many synics in this world. They are too obtuse to realize that people who have real values never lose that quality. A POX on those trying to disparage this man. SH
Dk, your posts have NEVER been unprofessional. As to "sticky sweet", I believe in the old addage that, "You can catch more flies with honey....". I've never understood why anyone would want to catch flies. Does this refer to some sort of death trap for these insects, something like fly paper??? Sorry for the digression folks.
Anyway, I don't think we should get all defensive and "sterilize" this board i.e. make it "more professional" based on a few posts from a newcommer. I think it works fine just the way it is. JMHO SH
I want to take a moment to revisit the ideology of this board. It is a safe harbor for those of us that consider ourselves to be gentlemen and ladies who wish to interchange ideas. Here we treat one another with respect. I do not participate on other boards because the level that they are some times reduced to is appalling. Yes they can be entertaining sometimes but more often than not, are just plain crass. Name calling and inuendos are not acceptable here. I suggest you stop it now. I'm surprised that your Hitler reference has't been deleted. Play nice or don't play here at all. We'll have no bullies here. If you have something contuctive to add fine, otherwise you need to serve a detention to be served on the other board. SH
It's going to be a beautiful weekend in St Pete. We're finally up to 80 again. All my windows wide open. Yahoo!!!!! Anyone want to come out and play with me??? Dalias where are you???? BTW does anyone think that Phil Mycrackin on RB might be Miluky? His posting style is similar, I'm referring to the format. I know when I was spouting off the other night on the SEVU board I said I wasn't gonna read it any more but like Madhatter, I JUST CAN'T HELP MYSELF. That's why I refuse to register there. I know the bashers would suck me right into their traps.
Just specualtion from the Iris Pop Detection Agency. LOL. I'm happy!!!!!! I love this weather!!!!!! BdM
