Uh, oh, they "fooled" yet ANOTHER professional firm, now in finance and with a specialised arm of technology, ups!
Whaaaat they didnt check paid posts on i-hub?? Hahahaha
Very true grossly undervalued, but dont worry, wont stay that way.
Thanks for pointing that out though!
And yeah, keep mixing what some posters said over the years with what the company actually said. Never heard the co. say eliminates the need for VMware, if you dont really understand the difference between VDI and application containerisation...then...oh wait! I heard somewhere there was a very clever new play dumb strategy...
Fascinating stuff!
Sphere 3D actually offers solutions and appliances for BOTH and dont worry the markets are very attractive!
Talking about the VDI market, I even heard a company called Orchard Parc tried to get into just the VDI market for healthcare (with no solutions of its own no less), but miserably failed at it with its VP Development now surrendered to "developing" and getting paid for posts on ihub...The horror stories out there...
Somebody should have told "it" so.
IMHO of course LOL
Exactly and thats why now just before the $20 mil. undilutive financing gets announced (and will likely cite oh what if it doesnt bla, bla) as well as as pretend that MacFarlane was or will be selling whereby to the very contrary he just announced how much he holds by now and that now owns 18% on a partially diluted basis...
If you look at Victor MacFarlane's profile a fool he does not look like...
And with Novarad, VMware and Entisys having a clean cut reputation their hopes to point at "vaporware" and "V3 appliances" just resold VMware their tech "fearmongering" went out the window...
So its really to come in quick before the financing closes...and try to instill fear by other means...
IMHO as my second favourite pal here writes
Thanks and also explains why the shorts' tweet today, quckly trying to get people into fear mode before the announcement of the financing comes out...
After that they have to be shut up finally on near term short term debt and liquidity fears...and with recent VMware, Novarad and Entisys news discrediting GW and V3 appliances became MUCH harder. On these topics they have to literally count on eyes who didnt see those...
So it makes sense they tried with the tweet to quickly try to get a step ahead to try last chance to seed doubt on liquidity. Surely Derek, Keubiko and Hugo or some combination thereof buring the midnight oil this week...
Agreed, and why the tweet you may ask? Wouldnt that defeat the purpose of surprising people with an article?
Except the purpose is NOW, quickly announce a negative article, before the financing gets announced...as its much quicker to write a tweet than an article...
Trying to get ahead today and instill fear ahead of the comforting financing news...its actually clever.
I actually respect that. Thanks Strut.
Hi Stpioc, to your question...Derek explained in his own recorded posts why they were removed because Derek called VMware up and said that he "understood" from them that Sphere 3D code is in VMWare Horizon, and as such is very clearly not the case, nor was the intended message, PB took or had to take them down. Quite simple really. I guess he learned from it so that Derek cant call people up claiming to be misunderstanding things...
No, not anything, would kindly suggest to read it again. Maybe its important to be unmistakenably clear so that even Derek "gets it", let me be very specific in that Peter Bookman never said anything regarding any GW or DCO "code" in VMware Horizon, while Derek first claimed he did, then claimed oh that was just his interpretation of if it.
Pls feel free to check Peter Bookman's tweets...And unless somebody points me to a tweet where Peter Bookman "at verbatim" mentions Sphere 3D "code" in VMware Horizon...
Case rests with Derek proven to be intentionally misleading that PB did, until I see a valid appeal with such "verbatim" "code" tweet evidence...
Thats because some institution/ somebody who is short Sphere very likely compensates for this kind of daily bla, bla, bla (wouldnt even expect a denial of that) so that they can cover as they covered already over a million short shares over the past months...(thats a fact)
Meanwhile, would read just last week's Novarad's blog on Sphere 3D website and Entisys comments on the new appliances of Sphere 3D.
Would these be more credible or the words of so called "fearmongers" on ihub who try every kind of spin and assumptions (sorry some "backed up" by IMHO) to continue to cheaply cover?
Hmmm...
Toughy
Hahahaha, you can ask for the non-existent tweets you made up where Bookman claimed that GW code was in VMware Horizon for the next one hundred years.
You made that up and even admitted later that it was just your interpretation of them
Btw, werent you also saying that Novarad was not using or actively offering any GW based solutions??
Again, eating own of words on that one some "fearmonger" is!!
LOL
LOL Keep on dreaming and praying
Sounds like a good plan
IMHO
Resolving 100% short term (you know the SVB debt Hugo loved to go on about) after the re-financing, obviously scares the shorts...
Poor shorts, no more pointing fingers at Silicon Valley Bank after that closes, as part of the financing will be used to completely repay the Silicon Valley Bank short term debt.
Have a nice weekend!
I would take that bet if I were you for the charity's sake, except that generally speaking someone who cant even adhere to his own "will never post on the ANY board again" promise, certainly would never adhere to paying out $1k... no offense just logically speaking.
Besides, he would be long gone from the Sphere 3D board, with another alias to the next board assigned to...
Doesnt matter, when Sphere 3D in that scenario reaches $10 a share, many longs will be able to give plenty to charity by themselves...
I actually agree with you. And its good you broke it down so you dont count the convertible note twice, i.e. its 76 mil. including the convertible debt note.
It doesnt help people having in their minds 48 mil. shares plus lots of warrants plus convertible debt note. This nicely breaks it down.
Thanks!
Oh, and how about Derek's claim repeatedly stated here that Novarad is not using or offering Glassware?
Still waiting for an apology on that...but then like you said wouldn't expect that as you said "At least the shorts are honest about what they do" well, being honest about making false statements doesn't make them honest...
Again, maybe too complicated for some
LOL, Derek also claimed that Peter Bookman said GW is in VMware Horizon code (how is that for "verbatim"??) which is utter BS created and then spread by Derek as he even admits of doing...
Maybe thats too complicated for some.
LOL, how apart from bashing Sphere 3D would he make a living??
Are you going to employ him out of neighbourly love?
I called him out long time ago about getting another IT company like Orchard Parc, for example, to get the same partner exposure from VMware that Sphere 3D did.
Nada, still waiting...tic toc
No its not what Derek does seems to be, zig zagging along around Sphere 3D.
Its called malicious interference..look it up...
He never even denied being compensated by a short or shorts. Not once.
Wonder why??
Oh, I am still waiting for another "IT company" like Orchard Parc to spend $7,500 to be included in a VMware PR, videos, blog etc. like Sphere 3D was, which someone portrayed as a matter of paying to be announced as a partner in all these. I even offered to repay when seeing that for the pure pleasure of it. Yet, it seems nothing...I shall keep waiting I guess.
Tic, toc.
Btw, no wonder he took them off whats more important leaving a tweet up there or continuing on biz with VMware without having to wrestle with a...
And since then VMware tweeted again about being "happy to work together with Sphere 3D in bringing hybrid cloud solutions to the market"...
LOL
No problem. I just wish other posters would have the same grace in reviewing "new information".
That they refuse to, I think speaks volumes...
As to why it took them longer than expected is because their focus then evolved to be much wider and a much wider co-operation with Sphere 3D than they originally envisaged. From the blog:
"It has taken us a while. All good new things do. But we have finally figured out our business model. Initially we were happy to solve the immediate problems we faced today but when we put our solution out in the world, we realized that other ISVs have the same problem. By owning the desktop and the app engine, we could provide these ISVs and health care institutions the same solution. We provide the desktop (most health care users still require a Windows desktop) through Sphere 3D’s V3 Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) appliances and then use Glassware 2.0 to provide the difficult to virtualize apps which include NovaPACs. However, we did not stop there. Our customers asked us to virtualize other apps from other ISVs and we were able to do so in hours..."
Kind apologies for occassionally being on the high horse, the future will prove the reason for it...
The "credibility" of shorts could not be clearer after reading this:
http://sphere3d.com/lead-follow-or-get-out-of-the-way/
And then search for how many posts the shorts did denying that Novarad was using Sphere 3D's Glassware to containerize complex apps...
More importantly, that's VERY indicative of the "credibility" or lack thereof of shorts here...nice one!
The only guys still sadly fixated on the $40 mil. run rate goal issued in March 2015 are the shorts. And Bookman never said "Glassware and DCO are within VMware Horizon" , its funny how everytime you post your "what I implied from him his tweet" (btw he NEVER even mentioned GW or DCO 2.5 in his tweet and how you interpret within is your thing) "wished he said that" falso recollections turned outright misleading become wilder and even more false than before. Very telling sign...
Anyway hang on to "your understanding" of Tweets while they secure the largest financing they ever did, clear up all their short term debt and sign on more partners like Entisys to specifically deploy their new integrated appliances...
Shorts have to keep up their delusional postings after all paid to do so and even an "IT guy turned paid public fearmongers on i-hub" have to make a living somehow. So sad...
13 Hugo posts already TODAY!
Any more questions on what some shorts do for a living??
If Sphere 3D has a short on its back?? Hmmmm...
Tough one!!
Well the latest with Entisys is quite obviously not just a reseller agreement for storage, but keep telling yourself its just same, same
LOL
LOL, oh Hugo that's so wrong on so many levels.
Yes, really.
LOL You are one day late for your bankcuptcy fear FUD.
No, the baggies are fine, while your posts on short term debt and silicon valley bank just went bye bye
Yes, they have to close on the bank financing first. and since that opinion already got $3.7 million in cash, and ups no more short term debt with the bank financing.
So much for Hugo going on about Silicon Valley Bank
AWESOME!!!! Lots of financial resources now to grow!! $20 million facility PLUS 3 million from exercise of warrants!!
Shorts getting a heart attack right now!
Yes. While GW has nothing to do with it, still nice to see them offering it to their global customer base. Nothing wrong with that at all. To the contrary using their very large installation base to offer them new products/capabilities is a very good thing, storage side needs to stay competitve too.
Yeah sure. Funny, either a short alias by the posting history or as bad as. Making fun of longs with $20 buyout last week, its ok...whatever...
Dont worry they have always made sure everything signed off by their lawyers and their goal issued in March 2015 was just that based on a very different timeline then. And even that was retracted later. If there were any misrepresentation the shorts would have loved to pull the trigger on that in past months while they were covering, but may simply want to use their final scare tactic in hope to further cover at low prices. The shorts game became too obvious by now...with official short covering numbers over months backing it up...
Must be incredibly annoying to shorts that the expectations for Q4 2015 revenue are so low now. High expectations get the shorts rallied up for hope of disappointment, and in turn as low as they are now, the upside of the cc is for us now, not them.
Ups, some paid shorts likely to deny for the sake of it. Well and to get that paycheck for "fearmongering".
IMHO of course LOL
Its pretty obvious they are not going to give you the chance to ask questions. You get to stick with fellow "fearmongers" to ihub as a "workplace"...
Happy Easter everybody!
I hope and dont think you will get a chance to ask a question, given the very obvious intense bashing on Sphere 3D (undeniable FACT!), shorts are better confined to ihub as their little prison, oh sorry "workplace".
LOL
I didnt, just look at the post, its just that every time somebody mentions shorts, or bashing, some feel I meant them. Weird...
Used to be the longs being paranoid, these days looks like other they are far more relaxed than the shorts...
Might have something to do with the shorts very obvious smear campaign and cover covering while being busy covering like busy little bees. FACT:
http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/any/short-interest
Oh damn, now I know already who will feel I meant them personally...
I wondering why you feel like I meant you...what made you feel in the post that I was in any way??
Further, the day when a company would have to come on ihub to get back on posts would be a rather sad day...
Shorts covered over a million shares already while daily promising on doom and gloom:
http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/any/short-interest
Oh, and lots left to cover, so would expect the smearing and daily essays of some to continue for a while...while covering...
Not IMHO, but FACT
Many thanks for your open words and sharing your research. Much appreciated.
