Whoa, almost 6.5 million shares traded
Barge,
Spoke with a WAVE employee Friday. Very knowledgeable I must say. Indicated WAVE was very involved with Win 8, hence, partners. My post to ORDA last week was he/she should call WAVE to connect the dots. I wasn't saying that to be mean.
It's true that you can learn a whole lot of information just by asking. Thoughts on Cisco, Cisco joining TCG validates the direction things are moving.
Don't really have more specifics, but hold onto your shares.
Cheers,
Ski
Orda,
Have you called WAVE?
You would be surprised what you can learn by doing so.
It will help connect some of those dots your missing.
(IMHO) All I can say, get those cheap shares while you can.

2012: Will this be the year TPM finally comes of age?
Awesome article on TPM's and Windows 8. This will be WAVE's year. The article has a lot of information, so I just copied a small portion of the article.
Since 2006, many new computing devices have been sold with a built-in trusted platform module chip, but enterprises have yet to embrace the technology in their information security strategies.
According to the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) – which published the trusted platform module (TPM) specification – the technology offers a cheaper and better alternative to software-based information security systems.
The TCG claims the technology has reached tipping point with TPMs now in more than 600 million PCs.
Will 2012 be the year that TPM finally delivers on its potential to provide a hardware-based "root of trust" for enterprise information security?"
Further into the article...
Enterprise implementations of this model have already been achieved, with third-party suppliers such as Wave Systems building the tools and applications to make it easier to use TPM as a token for domain authentication, VPNs, wireless and access to third-party services.
Enjoy!
Have a great weekend!

Is anyone here going and can you report anything of interest to the board?
Thanks,
Ski
Well, It looks like there are shares available at .92 this morning pre-market.
Barge, I know you have something to say. Don't be shy. LOL
Today's price action is very different from previous days. Anyone notice that?
Ski
Watch for the bounce in the morning,
Sorry Dig I disagree, I think it could as easily bounce from here being a hard resistance point as to go down. I'm sure all eyes will be watching. IMO, I think it will consolidate in the .85 to a dollar range before it goes back to the dollar to 1.50 range until 3Q.
Cheers,
Ski
Well one hope is, they are building value from the contracts they already have. I mean, you can have all the contracts with big companies, but if you don't follow-up with what you said you were going to do, having a contract is meaningless.
Have a great weekend guys!
Ski
Sorry, should have installed a TPM to be managed by WAVE, is that better?

Does anyone know the significance of using an 8k to announce the Samsung relationship vs. a regular announcement?
This is why we are here.... I smell money
Stuxnet move over. Cybersecurity researchers on Monday announced the discovery of Flame, a piece of malicious software that one firm has called "arguably ... the most complex malware ever found."

Right time, right place, right industry...
Interesting conversation with my IT guy today...
My company has 50k+ employees that is a partner with another company that has as another 50k+ employees. Both companies are world wide and most of you would recognize the companies name when mentioned.
I'm not going to tell you that they are buying Wave's products or services. But they are tightening up on security encryption.
Today, our conversation centered around what was being done thwart the continuing attacks from one particular country. He did not say the countries name, but I knew it was China. He agreed.
We briefly talked about the interview that Charlie Rose did with our former Governor Gary Lock who is now the Ambassador to China. Gary mentions the fact that China is cyber-attacking American companies and our government during the interview. Who knows, probably with an Army of people which the only job is to hack our nations companies and government(IMHO). Our government knows this. Major companies know this.
My friend indicated that it was one of his companies top priorities to secure their network and were spending boatloads of money to make it happen. Today, the company shut down their VPN network because it had too many holes.
But, the point is, they (companies) are realizing there is a problem (a conscious awakening) and it needs to be taken care of, whether its with WAVE or not remains to be seen.
I believe companies across America are starting to understand they need to take action to protect their assets. If not, they will be liable because hey did not protect their customer.
Barge, nice post!
Put a smile on my face, now lets see if WAVE can do the same.
Steve can you help us out?
Would sure like too see some insider buying right about now...
At the current share price and current technology, why wouldn't a company like Qualcom snap this company up or at least take a stake in it?
Very nice review of Safend
Safend's Data Protection Suite delivers complete visibility, control, and protection of enterprise endpoints. Safend Data Protection Suite is intuitive to manage, almost impossible to circumvent, and guarantees connectivity and productivity, without sacrificing security or performance. Safend provides a comprehensive data protection solution in a single product, with a single management server and a single, lightweight agent.
Our 2 Cents:
Our affinity for the Safend suite is first of all based upon the way it empowers us to obtain security intelligence. It allowed us to quickly and comprehensively identify gaps in our security perimeter and then close them with ease. Secondly we where very pleased how well we can track down (un-)secured data on the endpoints, even where we did not expect them at first!
The suite that provides IT intelligence that matches our vision!
We believe continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection.

cypher,
Do you know of something specific that's going on at this time?
If so, better call em up and tell them they are going out of business. I'm sure that will be a surprise to them.
You are right though, they can load up their hiring board with all kinds of job openings. Doesn't mean they're really hiring.
Can anyone here on this board confirm or deny that fact?
Ski
I know there is a lot of supporters here but, I get the feeling that people think they are going out of business. That is not the case. You don't hire people when that is happening.
Does anyone remember that they signed a partnership agreement with Samsung not that far in the past? "Samsung Partners with Wave to Extend Trusted Computing Security by Enabling its Semiconductor Capabilities in PC, Tablet and Consumer Devices" I believe Nov 14th, 2011.
They are involved with Samsung, are they not?
I know, I know, everyone's waiting for some sort of an announcement.
I lamented not getting shares at a lower price before. But now, thank-you very much for your shares at this price.
Ski

Samsung unwraps latest Galaxy rival to iPhone
Paul Sandle and Tarmo Virki, Reuters May 4, 2012 5:45am
948 95 Email1 ShareThis1045
LONDON/HELSINKI - Samsung Electronics unveiled a new top-of-the-range Galaxy smartphone in London on Thursday, updating the most direct rival to Apple's iPhone with a larger touch screen and more powerful processor.
The South Korean technology group, which overtook Finnish company Nokia as the world's biggest cellphone maker earlier this year, said the new Galaxy SIII model would go on sale in some markets in late May and around the world from June.
Last week, Samsung reported a record $5.2 billion quarterly profit, boosted by Galaxy smartphone range whose sales outstripped the iPhone.
Samsung sold around 45 million smartphones in the first quarter and contributed most of its operating profit.
The new Galaxy SIII model will have a 4.8 inch touch screen, 8 megapixel camera and will use the latest version of Google's Android software.
Analysts said the expected massive marketing campaign and features of the handset - billed as the official smartphone of the London 2012 Olympics - were likely enough to generate strong sales, but the launch left many of them unexcited.
"It is not an eye-catching device that will overwhelm consumers," said IDC analyst Francisco Jeronimo.
The blue lights in the launch venue downtown London, echoing the cold rainy day outside, and the background sounds of nature, which Samsung said inspired the design, resulted in a fairly muted atmosphere in the room.
BIGGER BUDGET, BIGGER SALES
Won-Pyo Hong, head of product strategy at Samsung's mobile business, said it expected sales of the Galaxy SIII to outstrip predecessor SII's more than 20 million units.
"Definitely, we expect so. The level of interest from our partners has been bigger," Hong told Reuters in an interview. He said the marketing budget would also increase, even if brand awareness was already quite high.
"We need to spend more on marketing to address consumer interest and to meet requirements of our partners," he said.
Analysts said the new device represented a formidable challenge to rivals, given a combination of the Galaxy brand, sales support from operators and heavy marketing.
"Samsung must make the most of a 4-5 month window of opportunity with the Galaxy SIII before Apple changes the game once more with its next generation iPhone," said Geoff Blaber, analyst at CCS Insight.
The new Galaxy will be powered by Samsung's quad-core microprocessor, which the company hopes will also be used in handsets made by HTC and Motorola, as well as Apple, its biggest customer for components.
The Exynos 4 Quad, based on British chip designer ARM Holdings Cortex A9 technology, enables more tasks in a shorter period of time - for example streaming video can run on one core while the other cores update applications, connect to the web and scan virus-check, simultaneously.
ON TOP OF SMARTPHONE WORLD
Apple and Samsung's near duopoly in high-end smartphones was not expected to come under threat this year or next.
"Samsung is now the only company that can compete with Apple and challenge it in the smartphone segment," said IDC's Jeronimo.
Samsung shares hit a lifetime high after its first-quarter results, pushing its market value to $190 billion, 11 times that of Japanese rival Sony, though still only a third of Apple's, the world's most valuable company.
In stark contrast shares in Nokia, whose betting on a tie-up with Microsoft to revive its fortunes in the lucrative smartphone market, are at a 15-year low. Nokia said last month it would make a first-half loss as it struggles to revamp its product line.
Technology research firm Ovum said in a note on Thursday it expected Microsoft to establish its Windows Phone as a relevant smartphone platform only by 2017.
At its annual meeting on Thursday, Nokia's chairman-designate defended the group's turnaround strategy to investors losing patience with its efforts to catch up. — Reuters

Wavedreamer: not just a fluke
Trusted Logic Mobility, the leading provider of security solutions for mobile and connected devices, and Wave Systems Corp. WAVX will showcase their combined solution enabling enterprises to extend security architectures normally associated to their PC assets to also cover mobile devices. The joint solution complies with the latest industry security standards.
Utilizing the smartphone as a token to authenticate the user, the solution allows encrypted data held in a corporate laptop computer to be unlocked. This is enabled by secure software based on the industry standard Mobile Trusted Module (MTM) to check the integrity of the smartphone.
Trusted Logic Mobility provides the MTM software, building on its Trusted Foundations(TM) security solution while leveraging the ARM(R) TrustZone(TM) secure hardware architecture. Wave Systems developed the application in the smartphone for communicating with the laptop as well as the software to evaluate the smartphone's integrity and provides the service for managing the MTM and the laptop's Self-Encrypting Drives.
"Trusted Logic Mobility's MTM software is derived from, and perfectly compatible with the authentication solution that is widely used in laptops," says Olivier Leger, General Manager of Trusted Logic Mobility. "This means corporate IT departments can leverage their investment, thus reducing costs and simplifying security management across devices."
"As security solutions are deployed by the industry in a full range of devices from phones to PCs, the opportunity for Wave to extend our products and services to support these devices is a natural next step," says Steven Sprague, CEO of Wave Systems Corp. "This solution shows the future of interoperable security in both PCs and mobile devices."
"We welcome Wave and Trusted Logic Mobility's demonstration that shows enhanced device security," said Ben Cade, General Manager of Secure Services Division at ARM. "The mobile market is rapidly adopting security solutions based on our TrustZone technology as the foundation for exciting new services and applications that are delivering opportunities for innovation and business."

I had a similar experience back in the 2000 time frame. Greed got the best of me as well. I would ask, have each one of you here that frequent this board had a chance to get out at some point with a profit?...I have, there goes that greed thing again.
With revenues starting to grow again, WAVE has to make choices about whether to keep the extra headcount on and spend more money. Cost vs benefit, I know not having feet on the ground is "not" going to get the word out. Someone earlier posted a chart showing revenues increasing with headcount. To make the net profit go positive isn't that far away with higher revenues.
I invested in another security stock with 40 million in revenues but had a net income of 10 million and now trades at over eleven dollars per share. WAVE is not that far from doing the same but trades at 1.40, that is not right.
But what good does it to run the price down to "0" other than getting stock shares on the cheap? Count em, 18 million 0's, add that up quick. And besides getting delisted brings in a whole lot of extra expenses.
No, what is happening is very calculated but I believe temporary (IMHO). They don't want to kill their money machine. The goose that layed the golden egg.
Think twice before you let your shares go at this price.
Oversold, time for a rally!!!
And add I will, thanks...
OBTW, one of the stock recommending services I get, today said they still like the company and the industry they are in, but before they could further recommend the company. They would like to see one of two things. 1) better numbers (that's a no brainer) or 2) insider buying.
Have a great day!
Been sitting on the side for a while reading and watching the stock action and I already know that I'll be attacked by the shorts for what I have to say.
I have been reading many of your posts for a while and I am long in this stock. I know you don't know me and that's OK. Some times you run across someone or something comes out of the blue for no particular reason and raises new way of thinking.
I like you, have been watching the action (trades) the past couple of days. And, the run up over $2.00 just to be taken back down to $1.55 is plainly not right. And, as you guessed it, the stock is clearly being manipulated (IMHO).
Why do you think this is happening? Is it for your benefit? It could be...you might not agree with this statement and that's OK too.
Let me run this by you...you probably were already thinking along this line.
Does the company have any future in what it does? I know, I know, why would I ask this question. Because it has everything to do with how you trade this stock. And please forgive me, I know many of you have been faithful and long time followers and holders of this stock. WAVX has not done you right. But, I believe it has a great future and we can be part of it or not, your choice.
I can't change the past, but I can influence what goes forward. Did the WAVX selling "machine" influence the past several days. Of course it did. They needed money to continue operations (IMHO). They lined the buyer up and coordinated the buy as not to influence the share price. Is this legal? Gee, I wish they had called me to get in @ $1.55. WAVX, stop selling shares at $1.55 and let the stock appreciate to a fair value, please!
Bottom line, I know I'm the little guy in the big picture.
Message for WAVX, if you are controlling share prices with your share selling machine you might have a problem.
Question for the man: How could this stock that trades 200-300 thousands shares a day only move 2 cents on 1.2 million shares day? Control...by who...
