Steelers_Fan: Wow...impressive. Thanx. eom
Good point, rotorhead. Thanx! EOM
kokonut: His little "downpayment"...might it have been the 2MM share drop off the other day? That would be a cool, million dollar downpayment...free and clear. :)
Steelers_Fan...just curious, if you don't mind, how and when did you first become aware of NeoMedia and how long after did you that did you decide to first invest?
I sorta resent being referred to, by you, as a "minion". I, personally, am very grateful that Tobin sent me his little teaser email that led me to do a Google search and subsiquently found NEOM. Did I put my money in RIGHT AWAY, as a "minion" would blindly do. No. I did my DD as most of here did who are now LONG on NEOM.
He can do whatever he wants w/ his shares the same as us. But, many of us wouldn't be in this possibly life changing situation if it weren't for his persistance.
Thank You, Tobin.

TS confirmed my suspicions! YES!! EOM
NEOM: He's the one doing the work, he'll well deserve it, I'm sure. We're just along for the ride.
Thanx for settin' me straight, tommyo. EOM
I agree on the price drop today...healthy. The MM's had to scrape the technicals off the ceiling for their rise back up.
As was said before and everybody knows...a stock cannot go straight up all the time. Just like you can't drive your car full speed all the time.
Thanx, persistent. lns
tommyo: Are you suggesting to a fellow poster to stay out (stay away) from investing in this stock?
Please post why? I'd love a good laugh. Better yet, for a bigger laugh, post a pro's/con's list for us so we can see your exact analysis why.
Thanx in advance,
lns
ps - is that's not what you were suggesting, please forgive me.
persistent: So what you're saying is they have to win twice against the same plaintiff before any patent case ruling can be deemed "legitimate"? Or, in your words, "establishes a legal precedent".
That makes no sense. IMO, not being a lawyer, why would any court ruling HAVE to go through an appeal process before it can be considered final? I understand the principle of an appeal, but that would only be the case IF the losing (or in this case, conceding or "settling") side feels that they actually have just reason to think that they in fact have been wrongly found guilty of their actions or have wrongly entered into a settlement.
Bottom line is this, if Virgin loses or "settles", it sends a CLEAR message to the ENTIRE WORLD that if the DEEP pockets can't win their case in court, then why would any of the more shallow pockets even bother wasting their hard earned cash or valuable time in court trying to prove otherwise at a later date. It would be much more sensible from them to just go ahead and get a license for what they want to do and go w/ it. Both sides win. It's not like paying a license fee will prevent anybody from making money.
If I'm a small business owner, I have a much better chance of making money selling BRAND NAME items than to try and re-invent the mouse-trap in hopes of saving a few license dollars and possibly losing the whole farm over my pride.
tommyo: In a country where NeoMedia's patents aren't protected, sure. But, as soon as they try to market it in a country where NeoMedia's patents are protected, IMO, nothing to worry about.
We still await the "final" outcome of the Virgin case. That then should put your fears to rest, IMO.

You 'da man, sog! eom
menamiketrx: If you go to www.changewave.com you'll see that it's not just him running his "service" or just him "finding" decent stocks. He calls it his "ChangeWave Alliance", a group of over 5000 professionals in the "upper crust" of industries who are in positions to be able to "report" to him credible shifts and trends. He acts on those tips and to my knowledge, only those tips, when recommending certain companies.
BTW, if you or anybody else here is in a position like that, you can contact him to become a fellow member of his "ChangeWave Alliance".
Think of Tobin as a market "Paul Revere".

LOL!!! Thanx, cloud8! eom
Nice! NO GAP to fill this am! eom
...and if the other side of the pond is any indicator:

alexandre: "Where would that leave us?" I suspect smack dab in the middle of it! :)
spanky04: I think they're trying to keep the "cat 'in' the bag" but it's trying to get out in a BIG WAY!
MEOW! :)
Awesome, nukuhiva! Min>8-9:20! MUST HEAR! EOM
martyMAC: Worked for me. C'mon news! eom
OT: Thanx for the info, y'all. G'night! eom
Hehehe...I thought that all that late night DD seemed a bit familiar! ;)
Keep up the good work! I'm behind ya all the way!
So we had to jump tracks for the ride back up (that ride down was starting to make me a bit nauseaus), could be worse, we could've de-railed! :o
Picksit, "Blue Ocean" reader? Not yet, but I'd like to read it. Was making reference to it though from others posting tidbits about it here. Imagine that? :)
This is DD heaven!
You said it, movieguy. It was only in late October that I slightly became "prepared" and it wasn't until the end of January that I was "fully prepared". Two weeks later I "uncovered" NEOM through TS' "teases" (USE ME TOBIN! USE ME! LOL!!!).
And, as I briefly mentioned before, I have been "unprepared" (read - unable) to do ANYTHING in the market since after the 2000 election - I got KILLED in the market and put my money in something that I thought would rise out of the ashes but to this day it's still there...breathing, but barely.
It wasn't until things seemed their worse that things started turning around. Funny how that works. Who even knew that all along I was being prepared for something BIG!
What a blessed Sunday! Time to take the kids out on the water. Still got over a hundred posts to catch up on tonight. It'll be up to 200 posts at this rate! :)
It's all good. Just a sign of everybody's exhuberance which is TOTALLY JUSTIFIED!
JP: Thanx for the replies. I just noticed my "mailbox".
Vegas is gonna be fun! I hope I can make it! :)
Gotta finish these posts later. I don't know, but this has gotta be a record # of posts here for weekend! WOW!!!
success622 and JP: This is indeed MUCH better than a "private" board. I'm a member of a "private" board and the main problem w/ it is that at the beginning it's great...an oasis from RBB w/ a KNOWN group of like-minded fellow investors. But after time that "oasis" dries up and it can become a pile of dry bones.
This "investor controlled" forum is the best for any serious investor because the oasis can never dry up if it's constantly being replenished by new streams of water...us newbies!
Less like a stuffy country club and more like a fun frat house!
Love it, JP and very Thankful!
bigbiggirl: More time for what? To buy shares? It seems at this point any time is a good time to buy more NEOM shares. Just like an earlier post where someone bought some GOOG on Friday.
If the Blue Ocean looks nice to you, dive in!
LoneRanger, you live w/ Tonto, right? She's a captive audience...CONVINCE HER! ;)
Yup. Where can one put money to get an 8% return on for just sitting there doing nothing? Thanx, lns
moxa1, if I may..."This could be a problem unless or until ALL retailers join up."
Hmmm, pretty much every retailer has a web site that they pay a "registry" fee for so it can be found w/ search engines on the internet.
Same thing will happen here, IMO.
pennyheaven, that's not .08%, that's 8%.
1,800,000 x .08 (8%) = 144,000
Wolfin, IMO, soon, very soon. eom
Thank you, JP. Although, I slightly disagree w/ your statement, "Maybe there is a Higher Power directing things in life, and if I'm open to recieve this direction, then it makes life so much sweeter, even if it doesn't make sense at times."
There ain't no "maybe" about it...DEFINITELY!
When He says move, listen, don't question, just do it!
I lost my job last year...you can imagine w/ a wife, two kids, mortgage..."what am I gonna do now?". He pointed me in a direction that led us 1200 miles from anybody we know. Literally. Things seemed to fall through, but we kept plowing on. Without following His lead though, I wouldn't be here having this opportunity to make my life better for my family and those around me.
What am I gonna do if this goes where we think? I have no clue, I'll just wait to hear Him tell me what to do. I can't wait!
Peace everyone and may God Bless us all. :)
pjfdvm: Well, it is a "dog eat dog" world out there and the way I see it, we've been thrown big bone.
USE ME TOBIN, USE ME!
cloud8: Roof to fix? Is that from going through the ceiling yesterday jumping up and down! LOL!!! YIPPPPEEEEEEEE!!!!
Don't sell yourself short, aztreedoc! eom
aztreedoc...Thanx for those. Been watching a bunch over the past few years but only until recently have I been able to play any. I did pretty good before the holidays, crap after the holidays then found this gem in mid-February and dumped everything and put it all here.
So far, it's been working out (obviously...LOL!).
To be honest w/ you though, if this goes where we all hope it does (GOOG valuation in a few years time), I hopefully won't ever feel the need to play with or worry about the stock market again! :)
