Hi Snackman -
Sorry about the dose of realism, i.e. the facts. I know that's not what everyone wants to hear, but the 6-month timeframe is what it is. Still, we hope for a better tomorrow. JIMO, that tomorrow is in 2009 (after Q4 numbers).
Sorry to see facts being answered with sarcasm. We all know who the hypers and bashers are... I'm neither. Just someone who sometimes chimes in with the ups and downs.
Hoping I'm wrong. Long and holding.
after PIPE, the predictable price drop, a so-so Q2 report, and the probable continued slog - - - we'll blaze a new trail downward to all time lows... again.
Look, at .70 today, we're already almost a buck below the lowest SP pre-split:
Date - - - Close - - - Adj Close
4/21/2008...0.69...0.69 record low close POST reverse split
4/25/2008...0.69...0.69 ditto
3/16/2006...0.55...1.65 record low close PRE reverse split
[[not a gripe, not advice to buy or sell]]
This just in: virtually 100% of outstanding shares are now in strong hands.
No selling, therefore no buying. Therefore no price movement!
How are we going to get rich if only Wavoids hold shares?!?!?
[[ to those who believe everything they read, just kidding ]]
Theory: SRA is spoon-feeding the company with these small placements. Wave has no choice.
This is a trend I don't like: a placement every month with a price drop. Continued stealth and not-so-public 'good news'.
survey winners: $1 has been reached. /e
Taglich is already correct on the original price target
http://www.taglichbrothers.com/equityuniverse/companies/wavesys/wavesys-04152008.pdf
of $1.25
but they changed it to N/A on the Wave page

LONG squeeze is where we are now. /e
kiwi - - based on yesterday's close of .87 (.29 per reverse split), and a .03 drop per day (the going rate) we should be worthless in about 29 days.
"I wonder how much it would have cost them to buy computers with FDEs?"
Alert SKS about TJX as a lead (as if he doesn't already know). Or did someone say not to do this anymore?

I commend you. I am not so brave as to sell out... heck, I need an 8-bagger to break even. I'm very much "all or nothing" at this point. Imagine, if I had invested in gold with this money, I would actually need a 32-bagger to match that!
On another note, some will gloat at taking your shares. I find this smug and disengenuous.
Good luck and thanks for your participation over the years.
I rarely post, but I agree with all the long-time longs who are angry... so PLEASE, this is not a bash.
Any and all other lurkers who agree with these frequent posters, let's hear from you.
INTERNET, thanks for being frank and speaking up for a lot of us who don't post much.

"...current shareholders might end up holding the bag;
and FUTURE [after restructuring/buyout/etc] shareholders will be the ones that profit."
Is this why there is no insider buying? I hope this doesn't happen to us, but it did to United Airlines and KMart share holders.

Intel demo is when/where? Some here may know but the PR doesn't specify.
Wildman - interesting slant. What do you call it, if Wave is spending money on it?
My point was that there are new and different ways to get video content, and WaveXpress is not making any headlines, such as Vudu just did. People will spend money on products like Vudu, even if it is not the greatest. If Wave wants to be in the business of video delivery, there are now more choices to the consumer. That is competition, do you not agree?

Looks to have limitations, but this could evolve.
13-Oct-06 we closed at 1.95 . . . .
how's that for 'positive' spin? we've just been treading water for 8 months... (not that I'm happy about that)
if we drop to 1.75 by Friday, it's only going back to 10-Oct-06.
OKnPV - I think we're filling a gap from 1/26/07 where the SP traded between $2.25 and $2.40.
IMO, look for the price to drop below $2.40 tomorrow, then much lower after Q4 numbers are out. Again, IMO. If I buy, it would be after the Q4 numbers.

As for laptops? The risk is the same with or without encrypted drives. Recovery depends on how good the daily practices are by the users and the organizations.

Bush admin says to name cyber security czar Soon
=================I NOMINATE BARGE==================
http://yahoo.reuters.com/news/articlehybrid.aspx?storyID=urn:newsml:reuters.com:20060913:MTFH22623_2...
WASHINGTON, Sept 13 (Reuters) - The Bush administration promised on Wednesday to name a cyber security czar "very soon" to help prevent catastrophic attacks that could cripple the U.S. economy, filling a job that has been vacant since it was created one year ago.
Democrats have criticized the administration for taking too long to hire an assistant secretary for cyber security at the Department of Homeland Security at a time when viruses, worms and other attacks on business computers are increasing.
About one-fourth of America's economic value -- or some $3 trillion -- moves over network connections each day and may be vulnerable to cyber attacks, according to the Internet Security Alliance. The nature of potential attacks range from a broad "digital Pearl Harbor" that could ground airlines, cut off electricity and halt vast amounts of Internet traffic, to narrow attacks that steal identity or account information from individual banks, it said.
"We look forward to announcing the (assistant secretary) candidate to Congress very soon," George Foresman, preparedness undersecretary at the Department of Homeland Security, told a House panel hearing.
The department has interviewed "numerous candidates" and several have withdrawn from consideration over the past year for various reasons, Foresman said.
California Rep. Anna Eshoo and other Democrats on the Homeland Security subcommittee on telecommunications said they could not understand why the job has remained empty since October.
"We've gone without a cyber security czar for far too long," she said.
U.S. business groups said filling the job is crucial because that individual will help companies plan and coordinate how they can recover from a major cyber attack.
"What we need is a unifying motivator to get everyone to do the right thing," said Larry Clinton, chief operating officer of the Internet Security Alliance.
The alliance represents big corporate users of the Internet such as Mellon Financial Corp. (MEL.N: Quote, Profile, Research), American International Group Inc. (AIG.N: Quote, Profile, Research) and Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC.N: Quote, Profile, Research).
"We have to figure out a way to get market incentives moving so that the levees are built," Clinton said, referring to how levees can protect coastal cities from hurricanes.
For example, Congress could jump-start the fledgling cyber insurance market by requiring government contractors to buy cyber insurance, or by having the federal government serve as an insurer of last resort, Clinton said. Currently, only a handful of insurance carriers are willing to issue policies and the market is estimated at less than $200 million, he said.
Lawmakers could also offer tax incentives to encourage companies to adopt stricter security practices, he said.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO), which has criticized the federal government for moving slowly on cyber security, said such incentives might work.
"We ought to consider those ideas," said David Powner, director of technology issues at the GAO. "Both the government and the private sector are poorly prepared to respond to major Internet disruptions."

re: the "D" - probably every rating system out there will rate Wave based on the past, hence the D. Only at Dutton (for now) will you find any 'official' forward looking positive outlook.
Snackman - this would be nice as a link in the board header.
Currently on the wrong coast, sorry to say! I was in Redondo Beach before my job situation took me eastward. I've still got the So Cal mentality, hence the moniker.
That's a nice holding of yours. I held shares in the bubble days, got out without a loss, now back in at a fraction of the old price. We'll see this thing take off, IMO. Imagine it going back to a mere $1 and with a naz relisting?!
Good luck!
New Wave - - wouldn't it be nice to see a PR such as:
"Wave Systems On Winning Team with Dell..."
Thanks for keeping track of this one.
"Distant third" according to whom and by what measure? What gives Andrew R. Hickey (or his sources) any credibility? Aren't Cisco and Microsoft in the TCG anyway? (duh) Nothing to get worked up over.
Actually, based on the Army RFP announcement due tomorrow, I'm more than happy to be in this stock. Could be nothing... could be something tomorrow. Good luck to all.

Clinton, Frist Tout Medical Records Bill
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050616/ap_on_go_co/clinton_frist_health_care
WASHINGTON -
Hillary Rodham Clinton and Bill Frist, two senators in the mix of speculation about the White House race in 2008, touted a new medical records bill Thursday that they said is necessary to prevent life-threatening mistakes.
Clinton, a Democrat who led President Clinton's unsuccessful push for substantial health care overhaul in the early 1990s, said the standard of record-keeping in the United States remains "in the Dark Ages" at a time when people can easily access a wide range of information on the Internet.
The bill that Clinton is working on with Frist, the Republican Tennessean who leads his party in the Senate, would try to move the medical community away from what many believe is an over-reliance on paper records.
Clinton, who represents New York, had joined a former Republican foe, former House Speaker New Gingrich, last month to promote the medical-records bill.
Appearing with her Thursday on NBC's "Today" show, Frist said that the aim of the bill the pair is pushing is to set a new national standard by which some 6,000 hospitals and over 9,000 health care providers can better communicate with one another.
Frist talked of a hypothetical situation where a person might be rushed to a rural hospital suffering symptoms of a heart attack.
"Every moment counts when their medical record is not there. (Medical) History, allergies ... ," he said. "Under our bill, we lower the cost of health care and limit errors and make the records available to the hospital, the patient and the physician."
Clinton said lawmakers would have to ensure that such electronic records be secure and that confidential information is protected.
"But what's happening right now is that hospitals, doctors, practices, so many other organizations, are beginning to move in this direction," she said. "There are no standards. ... We need to have the information easily accessible."
Where medical record-keeping is concerned, Clinton added, "We're really in the Dark Ages. We don't have that capacity."
Clinton said the bill would "create a framework" by which hospitals and other health care facilities could upgrade their record-keeping.
"We have to make the case for it," she said. "But I know that both Senator Frist and I are determined to move this legislation because for every month that we wait, people are spending money on these systems which may or may not make the kind of seamless system that we are looking for in this country."
Frist, asked about his and Clinton's possible run for the presidency, replied, "We're both running. I'm running the Senate and she's running for re-election."
Clinton referred to her earlier experience at the front-line of health care policy during her husband's first term when she was asked how big a role she thought politics would play in consideration of the bill.
"Obviously, Senator Frist has a lot more experience actually delivering health care," she replied. "I probably have more personal scars from talking about this than anybody else. But, together we're willing to wade into this."
