Cobra, can you try to be a little more specific as to what he said that led you to believe "something that would happen for sure"? By the way, did you say that you added more shares after the conversation?
Cobra, the last time you talked with Ketch, what did he say about the funding situation? Did he tell you that, in essence, partial funding was a "done deal"? And how recently was that conversation? I tried to reach him by phone yesterday, to no avail.
Ketch, Cooper, Ray, Rich, and crew need to read Brady's post a few times. Maybe they'll have a "gut check". It's about actually delivering for shareholders, boys. Do you fellas have a clue as to why many past-trusting shareholders are disgusted and the shareprice is "puke"?
It might be a good time for some long-time supporters like Pandaman, McCloud, Trexville, dutchf, dilt1, and others to come out and reaffirm their belief in NVEI and their reasons for their continuing faith in this company. Maybe it will help keep the share price from sliding into the teens without any solid news on funding from the company.
ElderWolf, you don't seem to give the Ketch-led NVEI much hope, do you? It will be interesting to see deeba's response.
Is anybody here real familiar with bank lending? What would prevent NVEI from obtaining a simple bank loan for at least partial funding (maybe two, three, or four million), using their movie assests as collateral (they projected 7 million in revenues, IDB)? What would the current rate be for something like that? Does anybody have any contacts with banks that might be interested in something like this?
Maybe this approach could help NVEI survive and "get over the hump".
With all due respect, what has Pengy posted recently that can be considered something "really significant"? What Pengy posts, or anybody else posts, really isn't that big a deal is it.
I, obviously am interested in the various shareholder opinions regarding this precarious investment. But until NVEI FINALLY delivers a significant PR (such as a legitmate funding deal "signed, sealed, and delivered"), we are all playing a big "guessing game". IMO
Actually, I've asked them quite a few things, thank you. As you can see, as a result of what NVEI has actually delivered, I'm not very satisfied.
I wonder if NVEI management is even concerned about the feeble share price at this time and the likelihood of further decline without solid news.
no3putts, you certainly got that right.
abe, ya think that's based on the "number" of questions? LOL
NVEI needs to "get their act together" on funding before some shareholders with huge positions get frustrated enough to "dump" those shares. IMO
Why hasn't NVEI been able to convince somebody to give them a "fair" funding deal? It's confusing because of what they claim they have.
When will NVEI finally PROVE that they are not a "shady" operation? The lack of funding has really put a strain on NVEI's investment status, consequently, the share price. IMO
We, as shareholders, are kind of "between a rock and a hard spot", aren't we. I really wished I could be more certain that they are trying to look out for OUR best interests by not giving too much away on a funding deal. Because shareholders seem to already have given up a lot through the reverse split and dilution.
Did Ketch ever say anything about how long they can afford to hold-off on this funding deal? Now that is something really important to shareholders.
I emailed Ketch this on 9/29/03 and haven't received a reply.
"Mr. Ketch,
I like this confirmation of the movie revenue projection. Now, please give us an idea on how your funding pursuit is going in light of this movie revenue confirmation, via a letter to shareholders. If you could include some kind of confirmation that the tech is on schedule, if sufficient funding is secured, it would be greatly appreciated. By the way, how long can you wait, before a lack of funding deters tech development or jeopardizes it? Thanks!"
Granted, the only thing I really know anything about in regards to NVEI is how I've lost a lot of money, on paper. It just seemed logical to me that whomever was in charge of the decision-making would want to take advantage of some momentum and a natural sales opportunity this Christmas.
Maybe I should just give the "experts" the benefit of the doubt. I've admited above the only thing I seem to have been "expert" at in regards to anything NVEI-related.
Ok, maybe it was their associate that "fumbled the ball" by not capitalizing on a lucrative Christmas sales season while the film is still somewhat in favor in the USA. I don't get it. It's just a "common-sense" thing. IMO
34Simmons, are you being sarcastic?
Sorry Cobra, who am I to question NVEI's judgement? They have made some great decisions to benefit shareholders in the past, haven't they.
Sidhaman, "Why" what? By the way, what happened to that "good feeling" you got from somebody close to NVEI a while back? Was there a "misunderstanding" of some sort? You seemed to be really "pumped up" about NVEI for a "brief" time.
Cobra, what's with the smart alec remark? It just seems to make sense to me that they'd want to capitalize on the holidays.
Will STL DVDs be available for Christmas sales? If not, they "fumbled the ball" again.
deeba, I've seen that kind of speculation before. When has NVEI ever delivered something to quell a "pick-up" in bashing?
That brings up a question that has been on my mind for quite some time, does NVEI "REALLY" care about shareholders or have they just paid "lip service"? Until I see some kind of "follow-through" on legitimate funding, I will continue to wonder.
excel, the only survey I saw had one question and I answered it.
OT: Don, God bless your Father, you and your family.
blackbeard says, "what were the results from the two telcoms that were testing embarq?"
That is a great question that shareholders deserve an answer to. Not this "frozen" crap.
jjz34, I've been alluding to this sort of thing for a long, long, time. It's good to see more and more support for the cause. Maybe we'll finally get some answers if enough people are "fed up" and express it.
sauceishot, right now, NVEI has left the loyalist posters "hanging out to dry". NVEI is indefensible at this point. IMO We need REAL evidence that this company is "sound" and has a "viable" tech.
xkeeper, if you feel this strongly about the character of these individuals, why weren't you in the front row at the shareholders' meeting "raising hell"?
ShallowPockets and Brady, I think you are probably "right on". It's time for Mr. Ketch to deliver something "definitive" to back up his claims. Also, why is there so little demonstrative support posted for NVEI and their tech anymore? It sure doesn't show much confidence.
spokeshave, please just answer yes or no. After reading post #17542 which includes a recent "Tech Briefing for Shareholders", would you consider Embarq to be "disruptive" in nature?
spokeshave or any tech-savvy shareholder, please interpret the dynamics of what NVEI claims to have. Does the tech still look to be "disruptive"? Can it be a "huge" producer of revenue if it is ever actually on the market?
ElderWolf, you think you and I should try to
"pool our resources" and see if we could offer NVEI $2 a share? LOL Ya think they'd take it if we could come up with the "bread"? Just a thought
What could NVEI sell-out for right now, "lock, stock, and barrel"?
If they can't secure funding and "dilute this thing to oblivion", maybe a "sell-out" would be the most beneficial option for shareholders. Personally, under the circumstances, I'd gladly take $2 a share. Any thoughts?
That reminds me of something I've noticed. There seems to be a lot of interest in this "lowly" (share price) stock, both positive and negative. Why is that?
cosmo, so they probably aren't in any hurry. Is that what you are saying?
cosmo, that "in depth" post spells it out. How long to you feel NVEI can tarry on funding until the tech is jeopardized?
WHP, that is a "tell it like it is" post regarding NVEI's credibility.
I'd really be surprised if there wouldn't be a nice spike in the share price after a funding announcement because of 1) lender's confidence in the tech viability (sort of an independent verification) 2) extends "burn rate", keeping the company alive and improving chances of bringing the product to market 3) slows dilution. There is probably money on the sidelines waiting to jump in when these concerns are alleviated.
