Cobra, please keep sharing the input you get from the company. I sincerely appreciate it.
tigerannie, it wouldn't surprise at all to see something tomorrow. iamshazzam has had some good "hunches" before. That's iamshazzam's "wild guess" for something tomorrow.
Maybe iamshazzam will comment on this and we'll see if the "wild guess" is still on.
iamshazzam, I like your attitude and until your "batting average" goes way down, I'm paying close attention to your "hunches" and "wild guesses". LOL
iamshazzam, here's hoping your "wild guess" for February 25 is eventful. LOL
Cobra says, "I am waiting to see if Brad produces to the level that he is paid. I am holding my judgment for a few more months on that question."
How do you determine what a CEO of a start-up company should be compensated? Who made the decision on Brad"s and Ray's salaries? I wonder what the compensation was based on?
Did they have to give Brad this kind of money to get him and keep him. And is Ray being compensated partly for holding this thing together. The issue is really hard-to-figure.
One way or the other, some solid evidence of tech progress would do wonders for the morale of shareholders and make these salaries easier to accept.
If this is true, Ketch needs to answer for that. Has anybody asked him about it?
spoke, I really feel that there is somewhat more than "blind faith" involved in my current cautious optimism. True, I did feel good as result of my recent conversation with Ketch. It was more his "matter-of-fact" tone than anything else.
As a result of my confidence in Ketch's posture, I have chosen, by deductive reasoning, to feel that such things as the big investment in Propp and Market Pulse are indications that there is a positve movement being undertaken. Time will tell.
By the way, mag300 is one of the few NVEI investors that I know personally. I respect him tremendously as I do you and value both of your opinions on NVEI-related issues.
iamshazzam, thanks for sharing your "wild guess". Hope your "wild guess" is as good as two of your recent "hunches". LOL
Elderwolf, that is very sound reasoning on the Propp investment. I apply the same logic to the Market Place investment.
rusty, I'm thinking there are many that need a lot of than .63 to break even. It would be interesting to know what the average "break even" is. Any guesses?
Northern Trader, I too, have a good feeling about Market Pulse being in "our" corner. I wish it wouldn't have cost so much dilution, but they seem to be good at what they do. I really doubt that Ketch would create that kind of dilution of shares without a plan to reinforce the attention by delivering something solid. I feel he has a plan. Time will tell.
iamshazzam, any "hunches" for next week? NVEI needs something to sustain momentum. They gave up an awful lot for the "steam" to be over already.
WHP, I feel a completed FPGA will enable NVEI to get the additional funding needed to see the ASIC through. And funding at more favorable terms than the last.
So the completed FPGA could give the share price a nice boost if and when investors would see the additional funding that would help NVEI get through the ASIC.
Cosmo, get it from "the horse's mouth". Why would you not want to call Ketch and try to get your answers directly from him? Come on, "step up to the plate".
Groove, please go back and read my post highlighting the conversation. Maybe somebody can repost it.
The big thing was his tone, no BS that I could detect (and I was looking). I really got the feeling that he is sincerely trying to build a successful company.
Again, I would urge you to go back and try to find my post about the conversation.
cosmo, I'm just having a little fun. Chill ! By the way, have you called Ketch lately? If not, please do. It helped me look beyond much of the speculation here and on RB.
iamshazzam. Have you had any "hunches" about some news for tomorrow, Feb. 18th?
BINGO !!! And I repeat, I think Ketch was well-aware that something like this article was in the works, yet he turned MP loose knowing full-well this move would be "under the microsope", STS. Plus, I really don't think he'd waste all those shares for a quick "pump" with nothing to back it up. This tells me something IS coming to back it up. JMO
This public exposure puts the ball in NVEI/Ketch's court. I feel this serves as a motivating factor to get them to answer positively to this public scrutiny by actually producing the tech and providing something solid to reward shareholders. I wish an article like this would have been written earlier. There are eyes other than shareholders' watching them now.
That's why I think Ketch has "something" to back up his investment of all those shares in the IR company. Some may say, "it's just a pump". But after talking with Ketch, I get the feeling that he really has a plan to build this into a successful company. Time will tell.
iamshazzam and Elderwolf, do you feel the share price will reach at least $1 this year? I do.
zzt, CJ and WHP, let's hope that Brad has a "game plan" that would enable the release of solid tech news in conjunction with a big momentum move to reinforce that move and continue the momentum to add to shareholder value. This is the excitement I've been waiting for, for a long time. Bringing this IR company in at a huge chunk of shares, makes me think this is FINALLY the year. Time will tell.
Does anybody feel that NVEI will NOT be at least $1 this year? Just curious.
spokeshave, I really appreciate your attempt to enlighten this board. If there was ever a time for a shareholder to call Ketch with some pertinent questions (I'm especially intrigued by your take on "Ray's deal"), it's next week, by you, sir. Please do, and report back to us.
If you choose not to, please explain.
porscha, that was really an outstanding post. One question, why do you think this sort of a "push" wasn't undertaken earlier? Say, about mid-2003. I'm thinking the
"ducks weren't lined up in a row" then, but they are starting to now. Did I just answer my own question?
I have trouble believing that Ketch would invest these kind of shares without something significant on the horizon.
mikerub, I feel there will be a steady influx of news in the next month or so that will help maintain the momentum and help get the share price back up to respectability. From where the share price has been recently, I would consider $1 respectable. At least until really significant news might come. JMHO
mikerub, is there any way you could see if Matt will restore me to full posting status? I've ask him via messages a couple times and I haven't got any response for whatever reason. Right now, I'm limited to three posts a day. Occasionally, there is something that I feel I could add to a topic and I'm out of posts for the day. I'd appreciate any help you can give me on this.
I pretty much had rim "pegged" all along. In fact, didn't he indicate over at RB what his "deal" was? That's why I didn't take him too seriously.
I do take people like wheels and Cobra seriously. Shareholders that have taken the time to discuss their investment with Ketch. I know that I felt good about the direction NVEI is heading after a recent conversation I had with Ketch.
I think what it comes down to is that things are starting to finally actually come together for NVEI. It's just taken about a year and a half to two years longer than I thought it would. What's the old saying, "better late than never". I really feel that can be applied to NVEI's situation.
This is obviously just my humble opinion. Time will tell.
GO NVEI !!!
Thanks iamshazzam. I can tell you this, after your last two "hunches" came to fruition, I'm not betting against news from NVEI on Feb. 18. Keep them "hunches" coming. LOL
What do you think is behind this nice share price movement and volume today with no news as opposed to the last two nice moves that were tied to news?
PS. I've been informed that MP gave NVEI another "cheer" today. That must be the catalyst. Its the only thing I can decipher.
I'm not completely sure it's for the reasons I hope it is, but this upward trend with impressive volume is refreshing to say the least. "We" have a long way to go, but this is sure better than the alternative. GO NVEI !!!
iamshazzam, do you have any more "hunches" that you could share with us?
excel, although I really feel NVEI is making progress, I, too, have been concerned that maybe less money should have been going toward salary and bonuses and more toward the development of the tech. At least until there was more evidence that there was a viable tech being developed. I feel this is one of the big reasons funding has been so hard to come by and the share price has suffered.
Do much of these problems go to fact that a "select" Board of Directors approve these things? If so, how can this be rectified?
One of my "bugaboos" is that is appears like there may have been some misappropriated dilution of shares that will diminish my future returns. But after what I've been through as a shareholder of this company, I guess I should feel fortunate that the doors are still open and there IS STILL a chance for SOME decent returns.
spokeshave, if your assumptions about Ray's "treasure chest" are accurate, how did this happen, who authorized this (ex. Board of Directors, etc.), and is there any recourse for shareholders if this is confirmed?
IH Admin [Matt], I would really appreciate if you would consider reinstating me to full posting status. I feel I have tried very hard to be a good poster since you granted me three posts a day after my suspension. I do appreciate those three posts, but occasionally I'll have a fellow poster ask me a question and I'm out of posts. Thanks for your consideration.
pengy, please comment on these two items,
"New Visual is new to Market-Pulse.com and is poised to become a significant player in the entertainment industry!"
Shouldn't that be "technology" industry?
Also,
"Currently, we estimate that we will need to raise, in addition
to the $1 million in principal amount of our Convertible Debentures that we
expect to sell following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement of
which this Prospectus is a part, an additional $3 million to $4 million in order
to complete the design and development of the Semiconductor Technologies,
produce a semiconductor chip and market the chip."
Is this "additional" $3 to $4 million in addition to the expected movie revenue just announced?
Elderwolf, I just hope the tech is at least far enough along to sell (as in a buyout or merger), even for a modest return, if nothing else. You'd think by now they ought to have something at least somewhat serviceable.
mikerub, that is very true. There's still life.
Wouldn't ya think, after disclosing the "sweetheart" PRC and financing deals, it would be essential for NVEI to follow-up with something reinforcing to shareholders, SOON? I'm talikng about real, solid, believable evidence that all these shares are being put to good use for shareholders. It would just be nice for shareholder morale. Not to mention our portfolios.
Elder, I think iamshazzam has a hunch that something's coming on Feb. 11. He made an "uncanny" call on his hunch for Feb. 4. We'll see.
excel, I really don't consider you a pure "basher". I, too, have some problems with the way some of the past has been handled. But for some reason, I'm feel fairly comfortable that, just maybe, there is finally something really good for shareholders on the horizon. Call it a "gut feeling". Good luck to you.
Only one post today on Raging Bull/NVEI so far. Where have the "bashers" gone today? Why does it seem they work much harder during the week days to slam NVEI?
