Hey, well having some naysayers around always seems to help bring new interest to a stock.
Thanks for being the Yin to my Yang.
From the Reg SHO report:

Well Mike and his family and I am sure some of their friends are pretty heavily invested in the company. I do think he has an interest in the shareprice but if ONLY it was just what the CEO did or didn't do that determined that.
This stock has had a heavy take-down effort by short sellers. It is continuing to this day. About 1/4 of today's total volume was short sales. Of note is that short selling is illegal in Germany and this stock trades over there. Otherwise I think you'd see a higher percentage of the volume being short sold. At one time the short sales were much, much higher and think putting this stock on the German exchange was intended as part of the handling for that. And it is a good handling.

I am not going to defend Mike Shenher here, he should do that himself with some press releases and communication. My point is that there are other forces at work on this stock than just what the CEO says or doesn't say.
Shortie and bashie will be by to bad mouth and try and take this lower. The only way out is for folks to hang onto their shares and for the company to start really producing in volume. BOTH things have to happen to rectify the situation and force a cover.
Glad to see you back. For a little bit there I thought the door hit you on the way out.
This post should be brought back to the top of the board for some people who are newly visiting us.
click on the original posting I am replying to.
For the most part, like the HOUSE in a casino, the odds are stacked in favor of the market makers.
It is, at first glance, a fairly simple thing. A company comes to the Penny market to raise capital to bring an idea to fruition. If it was a perfect world and not a corrupt and greedy one things might work. The products may roll out and shareholders become rich. But it is not a perfect world.
A huge percentage of such companies fail for various reasons.
If a market maker simply shorts all or most of the shares purchased and waits long enough, he never has to pay back the money (cover) or he can cover when the stock price has collapsed.
Example: stock is trading at 50 cents. Market maker sells short the shares at 50 cents apiece to an unsuspecting public. Thousands of these shares are sold short. It is a form of dilution. Market maker starts slowly taking the Asking price down. At a certain point, shakey investors start selling which further drives the price down. Market maker is able to cover by buying back actual shares from investors at a price of say 10 cents and has made 40 cents on every share. Or the company goes belly up and there is never any cover.
There are those that will tell you the above scenario never happens. So explain, if you will, why almost every day here the total volume traded and the short volume are nearly the same.
The only solution to this problem is for people to not get shakey and hold onto their shares. And for the company to pull its head out of where it is and start producing. These 2 things combined will cause a short squeeze eventually. BOTH things have to happen. This company has to start producing and making income to beat the market maker that is shorting it.
I have seen this pattern before. Shorting accompanied by naysayers. It is old.
This was the only link I could find on it:

They will be just fine.
Yes I have seen something on this. I will see if I can find it again.
That has happened once or twice to me before. And actually on another occaision a friend and I both bought the same number of shares one day and this was recorded as one transaction instead if 2. I would shoot a copy of that email over to qtip to add to the pile of things that go on here.
As I sit in the dentist office waiting to have a tooth extracted, I wonder why it is there are literally hundreds of stocks on the OTC people are buying that are shells, scams or startups. And yet here we have an established company with real execs real products and real customers and no one is buying. Go figure.
CPOW. At bottom and ready to come up?
I did buy a few. Not much. In full disclosure I have no money. I buy only TEVE and CPOW and I only do that when I have a few bucks left after paying the bills.
I am watching a few other stocks that my dad has in his portfolio but I don't own.
Okay I will ask him. I have an email from him to answer anyways on a different subject.
Good luck to you.
CPOW at bottom?
michael.shenher@gmail.com
Anyone can send an email. It's called due diligence.
This is awesome.
Sweet!
CPOW. It would appear CPOW is at/near bottom and ready for a run back up.
And I can probably think of 50 more reasons to buy Telvue.
Hopefully this will all be over for you soon.
Yes but not as old as the idea the market makers are blameless.
Thanks.
I think we can expect some improvement soon in these share prices.
You're right. Market makers and wall street types are just
Always beneficial and generous who needs a FINRA or SEC?
If only these markets were simple.
But they just aren't.
A market maker can sell shares at bid and make it look like a sell.
Do that enough and folks think people are selling off. They are then tricked into selling and down she goes.
Buy and hold.
It's supply and demand.
If there were more of a demand for TelVue stock we would truly see how low the supply is.
I doubt ANY of these market makers have any shares of their own to sell.
Someone needs to slap that ask for about 10000 shares then we will see some desperation
From nite on the bid side.
I didn't imply his questions were not valid.
I simply said this was quite the prepared list, a little too prepared for an average joe investor who apparently is on the way out and didn't have that many shares to begin with.
Let's not pretend this company has no enemies or competition.
Listen folks if you are looking for a perfect company with sound financials and all the i's dotted and the t's crossed you are in the wrong place. Find yourself a big board stock like Apple, GE, Ford and the like AND GET OUT OF THE OTC.
THIS IS THE OTC AND PINKS. You are not going to find perfection here. If you are looking for it you are in the wrong place.
People must realize these are HIGH RISK investments. There is also always the potential for quick or high gains.
Folks need to decide whether to get in, stay in or get out but also must realize EVERYONE HAS A REASON FOR POSTING HERE.

Oh God yes, please do.
Now THAT'S a good and reasonable question. I will see if I can get you an answer. I am getting the "out of country" message again when I email him (China?).
Okay.
Can you explain to us novices how this works exactly?
Is this the same float trading on 2 exchanges?
I suppose you'd rather the stock was down...
CPOW. Primed to go.
TEVE. Up 9.09% today. See recent 10Q.
I am so grooving on this argument about the elusive flipper.
I'm totally into conspiracy theories but this one is pretty implausible.
Still wondering what would happen if a few more investors got off their butts and bought some shares.
