Doma,
Lets face it, cosmo dumped when it was at .63 or .64 and since it hit .69 today he is scared it won't come back down and he is kicking himself for selling. He wants back in desperately but can't live with himself if he buys back for more than he sold. Therefore, he is trying to drive it back down to buy back in.
IMHO, Cosmo, just wait, it will come back soon enough. However, your tactics are not above board and you should be ashamed of yourself.
CPA
cosmo,
Aren't you the one who said things like "wait until tomorrow", "any day now", "the bashers will soon be proven wrong"? WHAT HAPPENED TO CHANGE YOUR MIND?
CPA
cosmo,
Come on now, please admit what you are trying (very poorly I might add) to do here.
When I said one should be out and wait for the drop into the 50's or 40's you said, hold on..what difference would it make what you bought at. I made the same arguement about waiting and getting more shares later, you argued I was dead wrong. Have you sense seen the light? Or, has something changed? Or, are you an inconsistent manipulator?
Playing fair and sticking to your convictions is one thing, manipulating is another.
CPA
Snackman,

At this point one has to wonder if it will finish down for the day! If that happens, watch out for tomorrow!
CPA
p.s. I'm still betting it will be in the 40's by April 18th.
Snackman,
I'm sure that is the reason for this HUGE rally!!!

Microsoft to delay consumer release of Windows Vista to 2007
Associated Press WorldStream via NewsEdge Corporation :
SEATTLE_Microsoft Corp. will delay the consumer release of its new Windows operating system until January 2007, missing the holiday sales season and throwing some PC makers and retailers into turmoil.
The delay in Windows Vista _ caused by Microsoft needing more time to enhance security and other functions _ will come as a blow to Microsoft partners who were looking forward to a new operating system to boost holiday sales.
"It's a much bigger deal for the computer makers than it is for anybody else," said David Smith, a vice president with Gartner Inc.
Windows Vista is Microsoft's first major update to the company's flagship operating system since Windows XP was released in late 2001, meaning partners will be left with a fifth major holiday season without a new version of the operating system to promote.
"It's not the optimal situation, to be launching the next-generation version of Windows right after the big holiday sales season," said analyst Joe Wilcox with Jupiter Research.
A spokesman for Dell Inc. declined to comment on how the delay might affect sales. In a statement released by Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard Co. said it supported Microsoft's decision to make quality a priority in scheduling the operating system's release.
Microsoft will release some versions of the new operating system for big businesses in November as planned, but the consumer version will be postponed until January, said Jim Allchin, co-president of the Microsoft division that includes Windows.
Wilcox said releasing the system in November to businesses would likely help Microsoft _ since its business sales are highly profitable _ while the delay in the consumer release would be most harmful to its partners.
"You can play semantics and say that the operating system is shipping in 2006, but if consumers can't buy it until 2007, PC manufacturers don't have it to sell to them," Wilcox said. "This blow falls on the partners."
The news sent Microsoft shares down 2.5 percent in late-session trading, to $27.05. Earlier the stock fell 15 cents to close at $27.74 on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Allchin said the decision to delay the Vista release came after Microsoft realized that Vista would be completed several weeks later than originally planned, largely because of efforts to improve security in the new system. Microsoft's Windows operating system has been an immensely popular target of Internet attackers, leading to a major companywide initiative to improve security in all its products.
That delay was enough for some retailers, computer makers and other corporate partners to say they would have trouble preparing for the holiday season. Allchin said troubling factors included the time it takes to move computers from overseas manufacturers onto store shelves.
"The fact is that we wanted everybody in the industry to be ready for this," Allchin told journalists and analysts in a conference call.
In an interview, Allchin said he suspects some computer makers may give consumers who buy a new PC during the holidays a way to easily upgrade once Vista becomes available. But he said he couldn't predict how the delay might affect holiday season computer sales.
Analyst Matt Rosoff with independent research firm Directions on Microsoft said he suspects computer makers are likely displeased with the situation, but with Microsoft's stranglehold on the operating system market they have little control over it.
"Certainly PC makers aren't going to be happy about it, but I don't know exactly what they're going to do. They'll wait," he said. "There's not a whole lot of choice at this point."
Not really. Very strick rules about that now.
awk,
I've got to tell you, that is one of the best posts I've ever read. Clear, concise and to the point. You even made a believer out of me.
CPA
FLYFISHER,
I respectfully disagree.
CPA
Blue,
So, are you happy with Wave's management for not getting a loan?
Don't you think if they could they would? Or do you think they are inept in the financing area?
Which is it? Inquiring minds want to know.
CPA
Blue,
If you don't mind me asking, how do you have 35 years of experience in this area? Were you asking for the money or lending it out?
CPA
dig space,
Wave cannot get a loan from anyone under any circumstances, IMHO. I don't think anyone would touch them based on their track record.
I don't think they could get a floorless convertible.
Nothing = nothing. In the end they would only own paper.
CPA
BLUE FIN,
Were you a loan officer at a bank? And, you never answered my question about how you feel about management, since they are not executing in this area of your expertise.
CPA
Blue FIn,
I'm sure I have way more experience than you at this. If you don't believe me, go to your local banker, spell out the situation and ask them if they would make the loan.
Now, since you are such a Wave believer, and believe that Wave could get a loan, then you MUST conclude that management is inept for not doing so. Yet, you love manangement!!! How do you reconcile this dilema that you have put yourself in?
I look forward to your answer.
Oh, and if you think the loan theory has not been suggested to management, it has.
CPA
Blue Fin,
No banker in their right mind would or could justify the loan. What if Wave couldn't find anyone to take the self offering when it came time to pay the bank?
CPA
Jas,
The review is excellent. Wave needs alot more of those kinds of things.
However, Wave needs some real short term boosts or it in deep trouble, IMHO.
CPA
TLG,
At the time I posted it was 50% for lower than a dollar. 46% for above a dollar.
The results do change as more people vote.
CPA
Cosmo,
50% of the vote says less than a dollar and 46% say above.
Currently the results think lower than $1.
LOL
CPA
wavxmaster,
I've never hidden when I'm in or out. I'm not a manipulator. I just call it the way I see it. Sometimes the press releases make things look like there is hope. The problem is, that hope never seems to hit the bottom line.
CPA
24601,
I don't understand your intrigue. What difference does it make?
Just to clear things up, the offer to invest was made to me.
CPA
Blue fin,
I said in the 40's not 40 specifically. Yes, I still think it will see the 40's soon.
CPA
Blue FIn,
No, I wouldn't!!! I'd be rich. I'd be having a party! I'd even be happy for you, snackman and the other longs. I'd be most happy for the longs who believed but didn't attack others for having differing opinions.
CPA
dig,
I haven't read that before. So, maybe they pull it out at the last minute. However, it was there going into the financing.
Since I did not participate, I guess I don't know if it got pulled. It does now look like it may have been.
I appologize!
CPA
24601,
I have one in my possession.
CPA
24601,
There is a 60 lock in period. Just because it wasn't announced doesn't mean it doesn't exsist.
CPA
john,
Thank you for coming to my defense.
CPA
1260,
You have no idea what I see and don't see.
Believe me, I see the whole picture.
CPA
1260,
So you are trying to say that financially Wave is in good shape? That is the funniest thing I've ever heard from a long. Do you believe that the employees (especially SKS) are going take stock instead of cash so the company can survive?
I don't know what you are smoking, but I want some!!!
CPA
Oops,
My mistake this moring, I misread the quote I put on the board. When you are wrong, you are wrong. I read "sales and marketing expenses" as "sales" and "marketing expenses". That's what happens when you spend your whole day posting!
I really should get a job!!!
Sorry!
CPA
From yesterdays filing...
"The outlook over the short-term is for sales and marketing expenditures to remain relatively flat, compared with 2005, with research and development remaining at approximately the same level as 2005 as well."
"short term" in accounting lingo means up to 1 year.
WOW!!!
Even if you interpret it as only 3 months (you cannot assume that short a period IMHO), 1st qtr numbers will be flat. Imagine the sell off when that happens. It will be far worse than the current one.
CPA
mymoney,
So many here talk about how well Wave has positioned itself. From a technical prospective, you MAY be correct.
But, lets talk about how well they have positioned themselves financially! They stink worse than a dead skunk in the middle of the road. No one here, not even the longest of the longs can argue that position.
Given the fact that SKS has pushed the bar back to 2007, the company has no choice but to finance again and again. This means more and more dilution. More and more dilution means a lower share price.
If you cannot survive financially, there is no way you are going to make it. I don't care how well you are positioned to take advantage of the technology.
THAT IS WAVE'S PROBLEM!!!
The stock is headed lower today, so be prepared.
CPA
cosmo,and Tampa,
First tamps,...thank god someone understands!!!!
Cosmo,
And it is not a good sign when you have high volume on a big % down day.
Tomorrow WILL bring another drop.
CPA
vacationhouse,
The real story here is that he only directly owns just over 110,000 shares. That is pathetic. Many a waveoid owns more than the CEO.
Do you think that sits well with Wall Street?
CPA
24601,
As Snackman recently said to me, that is personal. Sometimes one has to be careful about what they reveal and what they don't.
