pennyheaven: Glad you pulled that out. That's what else I think, and it still stands. Sorry if I didn't repost that for you to save you time.
I think you're starting to get it now. There's only so many ways folks can re-state things. And, there's only so many ways folks can ask the same questions. You're starting to hit the creative slump w/ those.
Continue the same process you went through to pull that previous post of mine back out, apply it to other posters and you just might be able to answer some of your own questions for yourself.
Nobody will be able to give you anything new until we all get it in the form of a NR or SEC filing. Can you wait?
May West: Yeah, he probably doesn't like my delivery. EOM
pennyheaven: Here you go again. Nobody "swore" anything here along those lines. Big expectations expected? Yes. On our or your timeline? No.
What's going on is a market at play. Simple as that. The rest of the month will continue as always...some people will buy, some people will sell, the price will go up, the price will go down. Our hope is that w/ the recent news and the expected BSDS completion and the expected "launch" of the WordRegistry soon, by the end of the month there will be MANY more buyers than sellers.
How do you see things?
You are REALLY beginning to demonstrate that you clearly don't know what you own. CF knows something for sure. Have you tried emailing him your concerns? If not, give a whirl and let us know his reply, please.
I don't think there's anything else that anybody here can tell you that hasn't been posted already about what's expected to unfold in the near future w/ NeoMedia.
Sorry about that. I know that wasn't what you wanted to hear.
You want clarification and confimation of how and when future events will unfold but you aren't gonna find it. Accept that, and please...
Get a grip, dude.
beacon27: I look forward to it. :) EOM
pennyheaven: I'm not challenging you or putting you down. I'm simply trying to understand your actions here. Like we all have witnessed, you pleaded for reassurance that the stock price would be expected to be HIGHER than it is now. Maybe you didn't have a deadline, but you did confess to be "leaving the stock" just to follow that up by more barrages of "the sky is falling...somebody hold my hand please...I need HELP!!!"
You don't seem as upset now as one would think because the way you described it, you're an obsessive gambler who went a little too far. That's exactly how it was taken by me and others on this board.

So, please, again...I'm not trying to put you down, but I will challenge you:
I challenge you to get a hold of yourself and do what you need to stop being so compulsive in your posting and gambling. You obviously need help in those areas. I have personally witnessed the aftermath of obsessive gambling and let me tell you, it ain't pretty...broken lives, broken families, broken bank accounts, broken confidence, broken spirits, just plain BROKE.
I've said it before penny, in some ways it's like we're an extended family of sorts here all pulling for the same goal, and as a family member, I'm challenging you to get a grip and settle down, for you own good and your family's good. You need to relax and enjoy the ride.
Don't you know that half the fun is getting there?! I personally love a nice ride through the mountains...up the hill, down the valley, then the uphill CLIMB TO THE TOP!!! The view from up there is wonderful, but don't forget to admire the scenery along the way.
I apologize in advance if you think I'm talking you down, I'm just trying to help. Tough love, you know?

pennyheaven: Virgin, what? No sense. EOM
pennyheaven: You make no sense. The other week you were crying that the price had to be, well, I guess higher than it is now, and it's not. At least that's how you made it out to be. You gave dire pleads for reasuurance from local fortune tellers to say what you wanted to hear. It's lower now than it was then.
Now you talk about getting a lump sum of money in two weeks?
What were all the pleads for and what were you whining about?
What's up? You win a bet or something? Was all you needed was the news of a Virgin "win"?
Like I began...you make no sense.
ifitlooks: LoyalPoint waived their obligation to the CoBranding Agreement by deleting all references to that in the ammended 8K of 3/1/05.
IMO, by default that terminates any previous agreement to license their "services" (IP) since the ammended 8K of 3/1/05 specifically mentions it is was ammending the 9/23/04 8K agreement where the CoBrand Agreement was first made public.
Yes, LoyalPoint did pay $5000 to do this but did they insert NEOM? I doubt it. IMO, that would be up to NEOM to do.
I'm sure they're on top of it though, if you are.
ifitlooks: According to the date of the ammended 8K, the licensing agreement was terminated prior to the sale of the patents to NeoMedia. I'm guessing that's the reason they didn't want to be obligated to something they knew they were getting ready to sell.
That just goes to show how far in advance the "behind the scenes" work takes place before we see the fruition of developments in the form of a press release.
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/050301/lylp.ob8-k.html
ifitlooks: Itsa possabble. :) EOM
Thanx, Boldini. I'll look more into it. EOM
martyMAC: It had to do w/ IPO's. EOM
Thanx, JP. I thought there was something along those lines "available". It is that type of "private placement" I believe TS may have entered in obtaining his NEOM shares.
I could easily see him owning a few million shares himself.
Thanx for the info, gkarman. EOM
Question: Is it possible for an individual investor w/ DEEP POCKETS to purchase shares "outside" the market through dealing directly w/ the company offering the shares? If so, would a special SEC form need to be filed?
TIA,
lns
gkarman: Are you planning on contacting NeoMedia and/or TS to find out if your suspicion is accurate? It is very curious. In all of his service disclosures, yes, having NEOM listed as the only one not aquired on "the market" seems quite strange.
I don't really know what that means since I've always thought that TS's ChangeWave service was NOT a pump/dump service that touted stocks based on solicitation by any company wanting "press". I always thought he was more "independant" than that in his picks considering he's always touting his picks come throught the rumblings of his "ChangeWave Alliance", which anybody w/ the proper crudentials can solicit to join.
But, having never read those actual disclosures myself, I now see that it's an easy (and cheap) way to see what stocks he suggests! :)
Zacked: It appears though that all during this "quiet period" we are suppossedly in we've gotten the gammet of news..."relevant", "non-relevant", PC related, paint related, the BIGGEST news of the year so far, "price propping" news (as some would call it...the EPO patents awards), new hire news...you name, NEOM's released it.
Seems to me the only thing they've been keeping quite about is the BSDS merger.
Banks: I believe the aquisition of privately held companies goes much quicker than the aquisition of a publicly held company. Makes sense to me that in the private situation only one or a handful of people need to agree, not x% of shareholders and tons of SEC paperwork to file.
Just imagine how quick an aquisition is if both the aquiring and aquired company's are privately held.

7/31/05: $1/share...solid. EOM
pvc: Explain to me how I "bashed" YOU in my previous reply to beacon27? I don't recall mentioning your name in that post. The only way I could've "bashed" YOU is if you are one of those "types" of friends. You know, the type of friends that DON'T know what they DON'T own and therefore give advice based on fear and not fact. If you did know what you owned you'd "quash" your own similar comments and concerns and take Drmyke's advice to continue to accumulate.
People here just gotta relax.
5 piece kit: m-bar-go and NEOM connection...
http://www.neom.com/press_releases/2004/20040113.jsp
St.Andrew: Don't worry, CF's all over that! EOM
pvc/beacon: This is exactly what my reference is in terms of my position regarding the patented technology being one owner and the owner being unbiased. It has to be for this to occur, as is summized by the answer to vines question ,which your reposted for us.
"In other words this is not intended to be a grass roots movement, but a very organized, multi-tiered approach to the systematic linking of the virtual and physical worlds."
Thanx for that, vines!
pvc, "I dont think you know the world in which the Company you own, operates in." Don't be so quick to assume. No one can say whether or not Virgin left the table w/ what they "really" wanted or not. Why? Because we are not executives of Virgin...that simple. Who's to say that they really wanted to "quash" their patents?
Referring to previous positions I've taken on the upholding of the patents and the suspicion of a buyout, I fully believe that for this technology to have the QUICKEST and BIGGEST IMPACT (what's it called "Deep Impact" ;) only ONE company should own the bridge. Especially when it comes to the WordRegistry, IMO it HAS to be ONE company that owns the "bridge" to link all of those words, all over the world, all using the same "lookup" system. Think about it. If AOL owned the WordRegistry, the registered "words" would be as limited as the AOL keywords are today. They don't do me any good because I don't use AOL!
Not only that, but IMO, for this technology to have the QUICKEST and BIGGEST IMPACT, the company that owns the bridge must be also be 100% UNBIASED to all other BIG PLAYERS. That's why I don't think a technology based company like INTL or MSFT or GOOG will be the 20% equity partner. That, IMO, will alienate too many and disrupt the smooth, cohesive "roll-out" to anybody and everybody who wants to use PC for their own needs. But, I obviously acknowledge, I could be 100% wrong in my assessment.
Now, regarding "knowing what you own", I don't know if you're beacon's hired handler, but, beacon27 was obviously "unaware" of what he owned, in this area anyway, by making the following statement: "Virgin made it quite clear that they will drag this out for years and years, costing millions and millions of $$$$ that NEOM just doesnt have". It was noted here several times that NEOM's lawyers were being paid ONLY if they won. No favorable outcome for NEOM...settlement or decision...no payday for Baniak Pine & Gannon.
Just curious, what makes you so quick to "defend" the position of beacon27? No offense beacon, but, pvc: Don't you think he can "defend" himself? Besides, I wasn't attacking him, just pointing out some FACTS!!!
Wanna step down off your high-horse now, pvc? TIA, lns
pheonix69: Rising from the ashes! ;) EOM
The thing is, beacon27, sometimes it appears you don't "know what you own". The law firm litigating the case for NeoMedia against Virgin were doing it w/ no compensation unless they won. THAT tells ya something. So, is it NeoMedia that had to "deal down" or Virgin? My guess is neither. As the PR states, and I have no reason to doubt the sincerity of NeoMedia's management...
"Both companies have left the table happy and with what they wanted," said Chas W. Fritz, founder and chairman of NeoMedia."..."This is an amicable settlement reached by two companies known for innovation and technological advancements," said Mr. Fritz.
beacon27: It's obvious that Drmyke has friends just like a few of mine. Completely closed minded and pesimistic, and not to mention, don't know what the "f" they're talking about. They're just out there looking at the surface, seeing that "they don't see anybody using it now" so "obviously" it's gotta suck...right?!
I get so tired of those types. Sure, sometimes they might end up being "right", but that's only by chance, not because of any known facts. And I say "right" in just the fact that a certain "technology" may or may not take off - not whether or not it has a benefit to society...as I mentioned before, MANAGEMENT has a lot to say whether or not potentially life changing and improving technology actually "makes it" to make everybody's life a little better.
MSFT had it's doubters and naysayers and so did JDSU. They're everywhere, you can't avoid them. That's why, as said countless times before here...you gotta "know what you own", and that includes the management running the show. That was a hard lesson to learn for me.
It's not up to us to change peoples minds, the most we can do is present the facts.
beacon27, and please, stop being so paranoid about being "shot down" and put on "iggy". IMO, You wouldn't be if you presented your "concerns" in a different manner sometimes.
Yeah, in the end when dealing w/ friends like Drmyke's and some of mine is just laugh about it and possibly get them to agree to at least put it on their "stockwatch" list, just for "shits-n-grins" you know, of course. Because, even a naysayer can look at their recent chart history and see something may be up. Later, they can decide when the best time would be for them to finally jump in...probably not until $5-$10 bucks/share at that point. ;)
Regarding a buyout, IMO, I get the impression that a buyout would be highly frounded upon by lots of folks involved -big boyz.
Why? IMO, if a true "worldwide" roll-out and immediate capitalization is desired, to go through the quaqmire of a take-over and integration w/ a company who's only gain would be ultimitely for itself, would only hurt the "unbiased", and therefore, more widely pushed and accepted new advertising medium. The way NeoMedia is doing this, they are essentially "unbiased" when it comes to it's offering, allowing everybody who want to use it, the opportunity to tweak it to best suit their needs and gain the maximum exposure they desire from it.
The concept of a take-over, to me, has a high probability of stalling the roll-out and therefore killing many larger players chances for the opportunity to capitalize on the new advertising medium that they all are scrambling to utilize. I think for that reason, there may be a good chance that whoever the possible 20% equity holder will be may "protect" the turf (NEOM) for itself and others to capitalize.
If they go 20% what would stop them from going higher, if push came to shove w/ a possible holtile take-over attempt? Why?
The more that jump on the bandwagon (PaperClick), the more it'll bode well (smooth worldwide "roll-out" and more chance for success and acceptance) for the 20% equity holder and everyone else involved...all by just flexing a little muscle.
I can just imagine the excitement in some of the board room meetings between NeoMedia execs and the likes of P&G and others...ELECTRIC!
May West: Yeah, after he quietly accumulates a few hundred thousand more shares. lol!!
bigbiggirl: It's just a slow, holiday week. Next week I would imagine it picking up more substantially. All is good. It's actually quite humorous to witness knowing what we know about anticiptated events to unfold here.
I've seen it a thousand times before. Good business developments occur behind the scenes while the stock succoms to "normal selling pressure"...usually very little of it. All a headfake as what's really occuring is subtle accumulation...moving the MACD back north to the zero line. When it crosses it, look out!
SWAG: I'm no TA guru or even a well schooled student in TA for that matter, but this is one of those setups that just jumps out at you. Like I said, seen it a thousand times before.
Personally, I believe we could see another month very similar to April and find ourselves planning a Labor Day Vegas Holiday Weekend! It's 30 days over a buck, right? :)
Like I posted yesterday, going by the chart I use (I'll try to get the link to "stick" this time), the MACD shows that over the past two weeks, NEOM became more OVERSOLD (imagine that!) than it has been in THREE YEARS! THAT, my friend, is SERIOUS pressure, IMO. What's that mean to me???
We better put our helmets on because this thing's gonna HIT THE ROOF! :)

ifitlooks: They will know soon enough. Think about it...how did you find out about Google? ...all of a sudden, from the FIRST time somebody INTRODUCED it to you, you were there. Or, YAHOO! instead, since they were the first major search "engine" out there. JMHO
OT: Typical...The Dead, ahead of their time. ;) EOM
OT: "wave the flag together": The Dead were a year ahead of schedule w/ that one. :)
http://www.dead.net/thedead/2004/summer-tour/
N E O M: That's the way I read it. Let's say for Christmas I (or somebody who has no clue about NeoMedia and PaperClick) buy my wife a brand new Nokia smart phone w/ the PXwhatever Intel chip in it and let's say Vodaphone has a licence agreement w/ NeoMedia and I'm using Vodaphone's mobile network, I think the license cost Vodaphone would be paying NeoMedia would be passed on to me...hidden in the monthly phone bill.
I'd never even know that "I" was actually "paying" for the PaperClick software. To me, it would just be there and I would be saying..."Wow, pretty cool. Honey, did you notice you can do THIS w/ your new cellphone!...(paper)C L I C K!" :)
That IS very interesting, ALYNNB. And, I too, agree that I don't think we'll ever see the full details. Think about it like this...do we expect to see all the details of every licensing agreement that NeoMedia inks? Of course not. They might as well just shoot themselves in the foot for that matter if they did that.
Nope, I like it right where they're keeping it...tight to their chests.
I don't need to know details, but one thing we all know we will see soon enough is the BOTTOM LINE...PROFITS!!!
All to be revealed soon enough in future 10Q's, 10K's, share price appreciation, etc...
Thank You, bigdaddio! EOM
OT: SWAG: When you think about it, the "S" could stand for a lot of things...scientific, simple, sophisticated, shitty, stupid, sucky, smart, super...it's endless. lol!
OT: SWAG: I think I originally saw it mentioned here as "Sophisticated Wild-Assed Guess". EOM
St.Andrew: "WE ARE EXCITED"!...OT: I used to be a Boyscout: Be Prepared! (reply) "WE ARE PREPARED!". Hey, that fits here too, cause I am prepared w/ as many shares as my feeble bank account will allow me hold. :)
