Sorry Claypool, missed that curve. I am a little down today. This PPS is frustrating the crap out of me. Two years and WAITING. I will be in a grave before this thing breaks $.002 again. UGH.
Well that's only partially true. The fact you are posting tells me you can't stay away.
What the H*** are you looking at.
Well, I get that, but so far all I am doing is waiting. It would be nice for once to be counting the sheckles instead of seeing them dwindle.
Luke, you need to get some sleep man.
Correctumundo!
Could we get all you European folks to spend some of those expensive Euros and get this thing moving.
You could stomp the shorties fast.
Right on Alge!!!!
Maybe Nintendo can do a promo - Buy the Wii and get the game free. They buy about 100K games to go with the boxes and we make out on the deal from a marketing and unit volume point of view.
Maybe not a great margin, but think of the visibility.
I agree on the DS game. Frankly, I was quite disappointed with that. I felt it should have been closer to 100K, but I think this may be a little different. I think 3 languages could help. Also, I think SDVI has a little more swagger (eyes) than before because of the IPO and divi announcements. Also think the retailers are more on board.
We'll see, but at least it looks like they are moving off of the shelves.
OK, Ken your turn to jump in with the ad campaign.
I can taste those Frozen Margarita's already.
I think 150K for all 4 is low. There are over 34M Wii gaming systems in the US alone. A pen rate of .005% is 170K - that would be for 1 game - 4 games 680K.
We need an ad campaign and if so , this thing will go. IMHO only.
There are over 15K retail sales locations + online stores - If we can't beat a 150K units, SDVI should be embarassed.
I believe there is good news - bad news here. If and I mean If all these in stocks then out of stocks are real, it means a couple of things IMO. First, sellers are buying thin - not over ordering to gauge demand. Demand is higher than expected. Now SDVI has to fill this gap FASTTTT. Don't let the fish off the hook. If they cannot provide the games fast enough, customers will walk. They won't take another disappointment.
If they fill the void, the orders will take off because availability is everything.
Now all Ken has to do is get some damn exposure for these games through an ad campaign and then we will all be "cruising" the caribbean with Umbrella drinks.
I am sticking with my prediction of 500K units by year end - MO only.
I was replying to the 125K number Zambono used. I feel 500K is the low side. My expextation is 250K per game or around 1M units. We have back to school and Christmas. Another thing that is overlooked is that they are in 3 languages as well, so really you have 12 games.
I believe there also is the Iphone version coming soon.
1m units @ $10/ unit = 10M in rev @ 30% margin = $3M. Until GRAF is IPO'ed, the rev and profit will accrue to SDVI.
$3M/1.5B shares = $.002 X 10 EPS = $.02 - low estimate. If en does the buy back and takes out 500M shares then we are looking at $.03. If we get a higher multiple then 5-7 cents - my est.
You are way too low. More like 500K at least.
Agree with Pauly - I haven't even thought of buying additional shares until they provide details of everything going on. This wait is frustrating beyond belief.
I did and got no help thru instant messenger service. Need to call Resticted Stock group - can't do until lunch. Thought some Ihub memebrs might know.
Did anyone who uses Fidelity get a "new" entry in their acct for Graffiti. If so, do you know why. I rec's a new entry today in both my personal and my IRA. It says Graffiti with the 9 digit number 0 shares and the status is "pending update".
what up with that?????
Can you explain??
Is this your opinion or do you have info?
Tired of "within the next two weeks.
It's time for an update. Giving them a pass all the time only frustrates this board more.
If you know something say it or don't post it.
The cloak and dagger needs to stop. Go public. Be transparent. This is what we all should expect and demand. This has gone on long enough, IMO.
There are over 10K retail outlets for Game Stop, Wal Mart, Target, Sears etc. If each outlet only ordered 2 of each game initially, the total would be 80K units, not counting on-line orders. Re-orders could double this.
My guess is 300K-500K in combined unit sales of all 4 games. Iphone and Ipad will add another multiple of that.
Low end est is ~$1M in EBITDA in the next 6 months.
Just my opinion here. In think this is going to be better than most think. Some of the posters are too conservative. This has the potential to be a HUGE winner here.
One last item - Ken may want to keep the shares in treasury to use as chips to build SDVI through acq's. JMO.
I'm liking where we are at. S-1, Uplist, IPO - SDVI runs to $.05 - $.07 with a GRAF IPO of between $5-$10 - depending on the acquisitions.
Any thoughts.
Yeah, nobody BELIEVES.
BUT, that will change shortly, IMO.
One could only hope we finally get the Grail.
Third - RR actually shipping - make sure Wal-Mart is included.
For around $1M they can take out about 1/3 of the OS shares at these prices. If they have the cash, they should do it NOW.
Think that might help the PPS.
This guy looks like the real deal. He has more degrees than a thermometer. This a top flight talent and one that will bring instant credibility to this "Pinky".
This is a mjor development for what SDVI is trying to do going forward. I see some very positive reaction to this.
Good for Ken. Looks like another notch in the belt.
While the news was somewaht disappointing, there ws also a lot of good news as well.
Hold em.
GO SDVI.
I hope you are right - er allwaysright.
Amen to that. Only dabbled a little in Core, but have had faith in this one for sometime. This one would hurt a bit more if it turns sour, buy hey it is what it is.
I actually feel pretty good about this one based on everything I researched and on what everyone else has done - they have done WAY more than me.
I also like that Always and a few others are so entrenched here as they seem to follow these things with great DD.
GO MDGC
Yeah RR, you are a little older than me, but not much. I too have had the experience of dealing with and preparing this type of information for a a high tech company being purchased, then merged, then re-split etc. Ken has an arduous task and hopefully, when all is said and done, we reap the benefits that all of us are anticipating.
I intend to get to NY and visit with RJ sometime in the near future. Florida first, however. I will report out when that happens. Hey, he offered and I am going to take him up on it.
Thanks Wallstreet. Saw that when I drilled down a little bit more based on a post from mm107.
Thanks again.
Thank you for the quick response.
Focus, how is it you know about Perkins. Very intrigued, but would like to get some validation. Didn't find any filings in a quick search. These guys are legit and peeks my interest above what I already have.
So is there some validation of their stake. You seem to pretty tightly wire in or did I miss something in my search.
I have been in this stock when it was in penny land. I have averaged down multiple times and have been wating for this thing to POP for over a year and a half. I will hold and let it run, but I would be hard pressed to wait for $3. Maybe $2.
One can only dream about that. If that happens, you are correct, I will be a very happy and RETIRED individual.
Hope you guys are "really" committed. Otherwise my measly 3.5M shares are going to be worth nothing when all of you dump.
So, please, don't get disallusioned before I get to sell first.
50% or more in the hands of you guys and Val. Hope you know more than the rest of us.
My feeling is it would drop back, but then that isn't the only target I am sure. Let's face it, no one and I mean no one puts up money on a pre-IPO w/o some assurances or a very good roadmap of where this is headed. Those folks don't make investments on a whim or w/o some security.
I hate negative thinking. Do not even go there with 0.
Let's be positive here. RR WII, Audit mostly complete, credit lines in place and still pursuing the elusive "big one". All in all not bad vs. where we were a year ago or more.
Slow steady progress. We'll get there.
Pretty Cool.
Thanks.
GO SDVI.
Saredi, I use Fidelity and my shares have not changed in the "system" Still shows the 9 digit ID number and has not been changed since Oct. It must be something your trading platform is doing.
OK Johnny, it's been about a month, do you have a verdict yet? I see you and Clever are having a good time on this one.
Sitting at a pretty good entry point, but is it really???
