Funny I have to agree as well...been out on business to return to over 50 posts about yesterdays PR......Its nice to have shareholders soo interested.....NVC gave this man a grant, now we are hearing progress towards that end, should this be kept from us??........before the SHM or after, issue this info? Before definitely.........the timing matches the registration, if not after a bit......fluff, no, I want to know about any and all direction of our company regardless of the impact to our core technology.......any information is not fluff, perhaps the level of information is not direct enough or important enough to me, thats a personal issue....is this the start of more technology pr's? who knows, hope so, stay tuned.....
too many DOGS ......... nahhhh, its a dogs life don't ya know
Do they have a English version? Perhaps, Reducing the Guard Interval Loss via Recursive Singular Value Decomposition for dummies edition?
step by step what has been said by New Visual Corp. has been coming to pass.....its been a long journey (in our eyes, not necessarilly by industry standards) but recent events give fresh belief that things might truely be as we have been told.
Is that a light I see down there?
Thank you, I appreciate your insight and experiences.
Could be a variation of 2 & 3. Alberto's direction is not apart of our current technology but will become part of it as we enhance our tech to obtain faster and further charactoristics.
I would also like to know are we presenting a "poster" without opportunity for discussion. Or a paper, which would certainly be far more impacting.
I didn't like your analogy. But I appreciate your candor. Some points are well spoken, nevertheless you make certain assumptions because we do not have the information to speak with certainty. I understand that and its not our fault we lack this info. But on the other hand we may not want this info known publically at this point either, if we did know it.
I did like your questions for the SHM and encourage more. Previous SHM didn't have enough questions asked.
I bought 144's. So I directly in part paid for this education of Alberto. Even though our prototypes are being evaluated (if not FPGA's) and from that we can conclude Alberto's efforts are not at the heart of our technology. Still I would like to know how my money was spent in this area and the results. This PR was appropriate, perhaps premature but probably so that we can discuss it in greater detail at the SHM.
We all have our outlooks huh........I bought a piece of a garden once a long time ago. I thought it would produce great profits. Alas, the farmer could not work the field properly and the seeds grew little. So it came to pass the farmer, who also owned a part of the field, hired a specialist farmer guy to manage the farm. This new farmer removed the weeds. Brought in new field workers and sought more fertilizer to increase the growth of the seeds. Droughts came and the plantings slowed in growth. As I gazed upon the field waiting for my portion of the harvest I could not marvel at how some of my co-investors of this field waited with me. Some of us stood beside the field and spoke of our harvest, how big it will become and the potential for profit. Others ran onto the field and jumped up and down on the buds beginning to grow and shouted at the farmer "make them grow faster, faster".
Yes, we all do look at our investment here differently, some are positive and some are negative. Some can out right cause damage. I may be positive and look for the good, optomistic and bright spots in my little garden, but running into the field stomping on the product certainly doesn't make any sense. I am here to make money. At such time that I believe the farm will not become prosperious I will leave. Until then I would appreciate my fellow co-stakeholders to keep off the harvest. Ask questions, be critical if you must, but also be wary of where you stand and that others own this too.
spoke spoke spoke....its seems that there are some shouting from the roof tops about this tech pr, but I submit it isn't the rekindled interested faithful ones.
It is not the content of this pr that is intriqing, but the illumination of direction and incorporation of techniques that our Embarq appear to be taking. Further it opens doors of discussion. Even New Visual most likely do not feel this pr will "do" anything to the promotion of our company.
Microsoft vs. GM
================
For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for
the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.
At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly
compared the computer industry with the auto industry and
stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer
industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000
miles to the gallon."
In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press
release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft,
we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would
have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally, your car would die on the freeway for no
reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road,
close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and
reopen the windows before you could continue.
For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would
cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case
you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was
reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but
would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights
would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An
Illegal Operation" warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask, "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock
you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted
the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio
antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced, car buyers would have to
learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls
would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.
It was not my word "Update", but rather tech Pr. For indeed this pr is about our technology side of our current Company's profile. That it doesn't fully explain all that people want should be expected. Not in a negative way but rather in a protected fashion. Today's pr does offer interesting insight and direction into part of New Visual's efforts. We have had for sometime now various highly credited experts/professionals (Greaves, Chen, Propp, Cioffi etc.) working with New Visual in our development of Embarq. Rather than boo and hiss, why not create new questions for New Visual to answer at our upcoming SHM in a proactive way.
Oh my.......are some of us shareholders snakebit or what.......everyone is asking for a tech pr, we get one and its never good enough......does our technology need to be protected, absolutely.....is this type of modulation a part of embarq, of course, we are sending Alberto to school to work on RELATED material......do more questions need to be asked, yup and I couldn't think of a better place to start than at the SHM......
I looked into the Mercatus & Partners connection a bit as well today. Needless to say I did not come away with any positive understanding. Like WHP03 has been posting, they have many failed funding ventures. I have yet to find one that went through. They, like any business, needs to fulfill their business plan to make money. If they are in business to fund then they are doing terrible. I also notice that they are putting together creative packages
These developments follow the need by the lender, Mercatus & Partners Ltd., to revise the structure of original loan agreement based on the needs of a master loan facility intended to simultaneously finance a large group of companies in a single transaction. QMT is taking advantage of this window to defer its portion of the transaction without obligation. All collateral pledged under the agreement has been returned to the Company. The original loan facility was introduced to QMT by Ash Capital Partners and Wellfleet Partners, affiliated New York investment banks, who will continue to assist the Company with financing alternatives.
http://www.cnw.ca/releases/April2003/15/c1190.html
This portion of the PR was during the time that we first heard of Mercatus. I would think that we were part of that group of companies. It sounds highly unconventional. Their avg loan agreement was basically straight forward @ 5.5% interest. They are making very little and trying to boundle their prospects as well?? If we are indeed the *first* company to recieve funding, then ..why.
I certainly can see caution flags like many others. Still there are many positive signs; like ALL the people who have positioned themselves together as advisors or board members with New Visual to see us get through. Plus the caliber of these individuals. And also the Zaiq factor, along with the compliance of all sec regulations and the progress we HAVE attained towards our goals.
Without getting too sidetracked, the Mercatus venture seems suspect. I WANT to believe its a certainty, but my better business judgement says this funding is wrong.
BTW, who has ever heard of Mercatus or can find a phone number for them. They were introduced to Quick-med tech. by Ash Capital Partners, I looked into them a bit too....they are just as transparent as Mercatus. Yes Bill, I cautiously await for the SHM and its supposed trigger to future events, but the math doesn't add....
Not really a distraction, more just idle chatter. Our Board does not want to share control. Possibly will be forced too down the road, if their plans don't work out. Money will and should be a focus given New Visual has said they can't finish until much more funds are recieved.
I believe VC's are looking to maximize short term ventures as opposed to "taking over" a developmental company and running it. Can't see this SHM meeting to be the answer to our current woes. At best will mark the beginning of the financing from Merc.
What we are down in value from 3-4 years ago should not be looked at outside of the whole industry devaluation.
Zaiq Technologies are on our board, one would think (just as any VC would) that they are highly interested and motivated to keep us on track and moving forward.
Lack of communication is and will continue to be our worst friend, it is the author of a great majority of the discussions here.
Oh no !
Good post 34 and you too Brady have found wisdom. For anyone who has ever wanted to start their own business. Look no farther than many of the mishaps of our New Visual. Funding alone halts 90% of start up ventures. We are still in the game where most OTC companies would have failed. Our management may or may not be guilty of abuses of leadership in the high salaries they continue to recieve. Time will tell. Until then, Go NVEI!
Why do they say; its always darkest before the dawn...
Nice thought out post with illustrations no less.
So the credibility of New Visual is all about the receipt of new funding. Never mind all the people involved in our technological development. Maybe they ... well, hmmm hoped to get on the payroll too.
I can see much to your arguement and its easy to accept because it makes sense.
Nevertheless, there are reasons, answers and possibilities that could exsist that would explain why we haven't gotten funding yet. And yes I DO need to say the right funding package.
prove me wrong!
LOL, thats strikes at the very heart of the issue, if anyone knew what was happening in detail we wouldn't be having these discussions.
A couple reasons you say? All guesses, some good, some bad...we won't know till we know.
Management is not giving enough info to make a loan for the VC (or others) to offer acceptable funding.
They don't like us, they think we're snake bit offering too much promise for a start up.
Money is on the way, from in retrospect, a less than great company and they don't want to start the whole process over again after already giving out shares as collateral.
Ok, as a possibility, our tech doesn't appear to work well enough to obtain funding.
We are in discussions with another company with the potential of merging with one another and we can not give any measurable control to a financer prior to a merger..
Many possible reasons exsist, certainly probable none of the above apply. We have given them much time to resolve certain factors and get funding, your concerns are real and felt by others....but we just don't know. I am glad you made that post, but it doesn't mean its the reality.
tx cobra, we appreciate your DD
certainly the effect of fully issuing the 500mil (actually its a bit higher) would be equivalent to a 5 for 1 BUT, they do not intend to use all of the authorized. Over time as more shares are issued, our shares will become further deluted as they have been doing now for some time. A split is immediate delution. Increasing the authorized share count could end up to appear the same but would involve a far greater time period. When the funding is recieved and progress is known, our share price will increase and perhaps they may not even need to sell more 144's, who knows.
If we vote no, than forms of funding that will then be available will have a far higher cost. This option will IMHDO have a far greater delutive effect on our portfolio value.
No real good choice, pick your poison.
lol, your killin me.....100 people a show?? guess you got some pretty big theatres on your "good" side of the country...
Groove, I certainly do not speak for the masses. I think most are looking forward towards the movie becoming successful. Its the means that hopefully will help serve the ends. Many are waiting for tech news and games involving the movie do not seem appealing. Most have waited through much and tire at anything short of substantiated progress.
Fam
I was returning to his 2 part inquiry, not calendar year.
Sorry WJS, first half appears very unlikely due to the fact we seem to have stopped development until more money arrives. When new funding arrives it looks like anywhere from 6-10 months to ship ASIC's.
Second half looks far more likely to happen. This endeavor of ours will probably entail the assistance of one of our future customers. And that will occur when a contract is signed and they realize they can have the ASIC sooner if they offer upfront monies.
IMHDO, no driveling intended
I believe its all about your view point. Is your glass half empty or half full. Certainly everything you said can be correct. But if you look for the worst to happen, other viewpoints may be correct.
IMHDO, Believe the best, plan and act for the best, be prepared or aware of the worst.
Dog out
Without a doubt any support whether verbal or financial would go a long ways to reassuring the shareholders we have something real here...but....I believe (sorry TS, until they speak we have only our opinions) they feel that they have communicated enough about our technology at this time. Of course we feel they are wrong in that but we do not have all the information that they do. It certainly seems apparant that the discussion of our technology will hamper future negotiations and/or protection of the design until such time that our ASIC is finished. Nevertheless collective Management, Zaiq technologies and Cono each own a bit more than 10% of our company. This certainly puts them in the "just as concerned about" our technology is us. Delution ,pps and future value is just as important to them as us. This isn't all about high salaries.
As per the SEC filing today; To date, we have designated and issued to Mercatus 57,894.201 shares of
Series C Preferred Stock, 9,090.909 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and
25,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock. These shares were issued to
collateralize proposed loans to be made to us by Mercatus in the approximate
amounts of $1,527,000, $400,000 and $500,000, respectively. The following is a
summary of the material provisions of the Series C, Series D and Series E
Preferred Stock we have issued to Mercatus.
The terms of the Series C, Series D and Series E Preferred Stock are
substantially the same. None of these series is entitled to receive dividends or
to vote, except as required by Utah law, and none of the series is subject to
mandatory redemption. Each of these shares of preferred stock is convertible
into 1,000 shares of our common stock in the event we default on the loans to be
made to us by Mercatus. These preferred shares are otherwise not convertible.
As I understand this loan, it is a straight forward loan at under 8%. That is a good loan and certainly not available to just anyone. How much Ivan and Cooper influences them to offer it, who knows.
LOL....don't stifle opinions here. Everyone is sure voicing them. And from where? Feelings? Experiences with another stock? Fears? I can see both camps, and the many manipulative games on the side.
Bottom line is either you believe management IS working towards building our company the best they can and because of that view, your optimistic that events that were said to happen will come true.
Or, you feel now that you were misrepresented and this fear of all is lost is driving you to get as many others to support you in this belief.
There is always the possibility either may be true, but until New Visual reveals their hand its all just so much talk.
Personally since I have a lot of shares here, I would kindly ask current shareholders not to slam the companies with your fears. I am not asking in any way not to voice them but be considerate that all we have now are opinions not facts. The truth will reveal itself in due time.
Non-shareholders carry on
I like the idea of acquiring other companies. Had before and still do. Even with the potential of our technology and the many various applications it may manifest itself in, it is still good business to diversify and build strength. Our current Authorized share count does not allow us to continue in business very long and limits us to a position of weakness, perhaps necessitating us to acceptance of poor funding packages and/or an unwelcome merger to survive. The right acquisition and positive news from Rim Semiconductor
at the same time and we could create strong demand and good publicity. Many exciting benefits and possibilities abound.
So there we have it.
SHM is set. And in Oregon as rumored it would be this year. Possible move in the making as well?
Authorization to be increased 5 fold. Wow. But we should remember its the issued shares that count. Half of this new amount will not ever see daylight. And the available, what I recall mentioned of 160million does leave open interesting possiblilities for our company to grow. NVC has already gave 92,000 of preferred stock for this funding. Sounds like the money is on the way. I would like to know the terms and par value...
Courious on some of the board members who we will be voting for this up coming year.
Well, I see strength. Brad Ketch is moving boldly and issuing shares that far out weight any indivdual and collective stock ownership for funding collateral. This would not be done or allowed if they were not 100% confident in our technology and its future paycheck to satisfy these obligations.
As is always, there is a LOT more to New Visual than meets the eye. Go NVEI! (new ticker coming?)
Fam
The officers of New Visual will be VERY well off when they get this technology to market. Sure I understand that if they were to buy more it would be a show of confidence but really we do not need these demonstrations of faith. We need funding and the acceptance of Embarq by a least one market leader. But by appearances available, we are on the doorstep of both measures.
Come on Cosmo, start selling so your slant changes
Well Iown I suppose you could name certain companies and compare but at this juncture its difficult to compare New Visual to anybody. But I can give a little information to chew on. The CEO working in CA - San Diego now earns an average salary of 288,654. Half of those in this position would earn between 225,843 and 780,663 (the 17th and 67th percentiles). These numbers are derived from real, area specific, survey data. When benefits and bonuses are added to this salary, the average total compensation for this position would be 432,202. The report below also explains how the cost-of-living in this location affects the actual value of this salary. for more on this article :

Under Insiders heading is the title, Insider and 144 form filings.
Who is an insider?
An insider is an officer, director, person with a policy-making role, or beneficial owner (holder of 10% or more) of a company's stock. Insiders are both individuals and corporations, and are required to report their:
Direct Holdings and Indirect Holdings
Form 144s must be filed as notice of the proposed sale of restricted securities. Restricted securities are those that are acquired directly or indirectly from an issuer or an affiliate in a transaction (or chain of transactions) not involving a public offering.
Not all Form 144 filers are insiders. Any entity owning restricted stock must file a Form 144 prior to selling the restricted stock. Any insider who files a Form 144, must file a Form 4 if and when the sale is completed. To determine if a given filer is an insider, you may click on the insider name. If the individual is listed as a shareholder, he or she is not an insider.
An insider may file a Form 144 and not actually complete the sale. If the sale was completed, the insider should have filed a Form 4, indicating the transaction was completed.
The Form 144 must be filed prior to, or on the approximate date, of sale. Insiders are governed by SEC regulations when they file a Form 144. The following considerations should be kept in mind when you are searching Form 144s. These considerations apply to insiders only - see the above definition (not shareholders or restricted stock owners):
The filing of Form 144 is not required in any case where the amount of stock to be sold during any three (3) month period does not exceed 500 shares and the aggregate sale value does not exceed $10,000.
If the seller does not sell all the stock covered by the form within 90 days after the filing, the filing process must be repeated before the commencement of further sales, except in cases where the passage of time has extended the seller's holding period.
Depends on the time though in question. Sure GSPN has begun their move upwards, but not that long ago they were in the 120's. Both companies have had better days behind them, New Visuals hasn't began making their move yet. After they do we'll look similar again
I agree NorthernTrader.
For many or most of us, waiting and watching for movement by New Visual can be quite painful. We see other companies that appear to be making their move in our backyard. Whether they are competitors or future partners as we could enable their technologies to be expanded upon by the merging with ours; its the questions of where we are and how we will finish that haunts our investment here. We have had many questionable decisions and various stated directions or acquistions become void. The continuious of high salaries is also hard for many to swallow. I do believe New Visuals heart is in the right place. We have hired and retained many experts and professionals in this industry to bring us into business. Brad Ketch certainly is one of them. Our tech by all appearances works as stated and we move forward to the release of the FPGA prototypes and onward to contracts, etc. We comply with all SEC filings and we have cleaned up prior litigation as well as paying down debt on our balance sheets. Brad Ketch's two recent letters to the stakeholders were enlightening, encouraging and brought us closer to seeing the vision and current status of New Visual's operations. It is nice to see our pps beginning to edge upward on anticipation of new funding. Nevertheless the patience we continue to demonstrate will erode as tangible progress is withheld from us. This progress can and should be acknowleged by someone other than Brad Ketch. We have Adaptive Networks, Zaiq Technologies and even our specialists Dr. Greaves and Dr. Chen, who could step forward and communicate with us about our technology. Certainly this is a speculative investment, granted our technology needs to be cloaked, but we should also strive to uphold value in a measurable way with a public corporation. I remain focused and excited about our prospects, but I would not be as anxious if my eyes were not held closed.
Fam
.22? stupid games
and you know they'll not correct this. a new low for the year, was .27 (error) now it'll be .22
I am not taking shots at the movie. I liked the movie and went to the first screening. Nevertheless if we are truely a semiconductor company, even going so far to change our name (again)for better industry recognition, then have the shareholders meeting about what we are and will become, not what we were. This is business, there well could be people from the industry (future partners, VC's,potential customers) there that will not be interested in our movie and our image is a stake here. Lets conduct the affairs before us and move into the world of becoming a new and revolutionary semiconductor company.
hmmm, showing the movie at the Shareholder meeting. Not
Not a good idea. We are now strictly a semiconductor company. Lets have the meeting all about it. Reference to the movie as a completed work and source of income. But do not glamorize it with a movie showing. Spend the 5 bucks and see it afterwards. Lets get to the current business at hand and finish Embarq.
All IMHDO
Fam
I agree as well. New Visual has plenty of time to evaluate the competition and/or research future technologies that will be similar to Embarq. Supercomm was just held and anyone who has anything uses this forum to begin marketing of their products. I am certain this new product of Infineon was promoted there as well. So either this product doesn't compare in some measurable way or Ketch was lieing to us. The later seems unlikely with his connection with and in this industry.
Good post, I agree
