Sid, I thought it was "it could be the best".
fam, I feel $3 in 2004 is doable if 1) the tech is what's claimed and 2) a non-dilutive loan of some sort is obtained.
So let me get this straight. From this information,
"CURRENT STATUS
--------------
o Input from Customers complete
o All feedback is in and it is positive
o Design is "frozen"
o Lab benchmarking shows that the design is stable and delivers the same results as previously announced"
Is the testing by the two companies completed and was all feedback from the testing positive? If this is the case, why weren't the names of the testing companies revealed or were they? It seems to me that is what's needed to help validate these claims.
Two "yes" or "no" questions pertaining to RIM's future share price potential. From the information that you have recieved and digested from yesterday's shareholders' meeting. Do you feel that RIM has a realistic, legitimate chance to reach 1) $3 per share sometime in 2004 2) $8 per share sometime in 2005 ?
If you choose to support your answers, as well, it would be appreciated.
Thanks WHP. I wonder if the VC possibility was addressed at the SH meeting. Also, from what you have gathered from the meeting notes and reports, do you feel better about your investment in NVEI? If so, what really impressed you?
spokeshave or anybody, with the projected movie revenue as collateral (7 million), shouldn't there be a simple bank loan available, somewhere? Especially with the current low-interest rates, this seems like a practical, non-dilutive way to get needed funding.
Has anybody else had these same feelings? 1) The tech seems to be progressing , although about a year behind schedule. 2) With the projected movie revenue as collateral (7 million) shouldn't there be a simple bank loan available, somewhere. Especially with the current low-interest rates.
EW, what, specifically, brought about this "calming effect"?
"It was what management said that helped calm me down."
NT, surely somebody pressed them about the status of the "blackout" and the projected 4-8 months testing timeframe, didn't they? With today's revelations about the tech, has the "blackout" been lifted?
floppy, if "Rich said SIL could do 40 million with 7 million in revenue being New Visual cut." Man, that is a nice number for our little company (7 mil. revenue) This projection alone should move the share price out of the .30s in short order.
miler, our wait continues. But at least there still seems to be a chance for them to get the tech to market. That's sure better than having to close the doors. Afterall, the movie took longer than expected, but finally came to fruition.
If the tech is that good and money is the ONLY obstacle, they may need to stop this game of "funding roulette" and get a partner that can help get this thing "over the goal line".
NorthernTrader, thanks for the early report. Was anything said about their plans to apply for NASDAQ or another stock exchange?
Was anything said about the current testing by the two companies? Any mention of who the companies are? Is the "blackout" lifted?
buffalo, this voluntary salary reduction impresses this ole' boy.
halston, or they could mean that not only is the tech viable, they "could have the best technology in the world".
WHP, this needs to be "cleared up" this afternoon.
Cobra, if the tech isn't "viable in the real world", why would funding even be an issue, let alone "the only issue"?
Where will the shareprice dive to tomorrow if NVEI fails to provide conclusive evidence that the tech will be viable in the real world? The projected 4-8 months for testing whatever is being tested is about up. NVEI must lift the "cloud of doubt", today. A "we need more time" plea without a bona fide tech update, will be a "hard pill to swallow".
Groovemaster, is your average .34? If so, I can understand how you look at this company differently than someone with a much higher average. Someone that has seen their investment value fall to shambles.
Have NVEI shareholders been deceived and to what extent? That is likely in the back of many shareholder's mind as the SH meeting approaches.
NVEI has another chance to establish some credibility today. Will they? In past meetings, many shareholders have come away "pumped up", only to have their hopes dashed by lack of expected performance by the company. Personally, I have felt like I've been in the "Twilight Zone" as an investor in NVEI.
They have another chance to redeem themselves today. It better be something direct and with substantial evidence that they are making progress. Evidence that they are TRULY in a position to bring a tech product to market and increase shareholder value.
Many shareholders will be much more alert than in the past. If NVEI "fumbles the ball" today, I feel "the sheep will become wolves". Or maybe, many shareholders will just "bail", sending the share price into a "nosedive".
jjz34, I'm looking forward to your reports. We need to get this tech out of the closet, so shareholders know what's going on with their investment. This secrecy has made me very uncomfortable.
sauce, after posting, I remembered seeing your posts on RB. If you just started posting here, I feel you'll find this a valuable source of various opinions regarding NVEI.
mayu, I simply value the opinions of the three I asked the questions. As well as some other fine people on this board.
excel, spokeshave, jeff p. or anybody. What, realistically, could NVEI tell shareholders tomorrow that would 1) really impress you and establish credibility 2) cause you to cringe in frustration and 3) what do you actually expect? Thanks in advance, I value your responses.
sauceishot, what's your "handle" on RB? I'm "austin01" on both RB and IHub.
sauce, it is my feeling that NVEI needs to know what shareholders are concerned about. I have a feeling that there may be some "lurkers", close to NVEI, that may pass that along. I hope they have been paying attention to the shareholder "dissatisfaction" in recent months (which is different from "bashing"). Many of us just simply want "production". We've "paid our dues".
I'll say it again, I feel some NVEI shareholders, (possibly many), are waiting until what comes out of tomorrow's meeting to decide what to do about keeping or unloading their shares.
sauceishot says, "Either support your investment or get the heck out."
I don't see as much "blind faith support" of NVEI as there use to be. Too many people have "gotten burned". They want NVEI to "prove" they are worthy of their support.
Also, I feel many are so far down, that selling this low, at least until the shareholders' meeting unfolds, doesn't make sense.
Many shareholders are giving NVEI "one more opportunity" to deliver something credible. IMO I hate to think where the share price will go if NVEI performs a "song and dance" without some substantial "proof" that they have a sound tech that is on track to provide shareholder's value for their investment.
jeff p., thanks for putting it in perspective. You say you'll "faint" when NVEI sells it's first chip. I'll probably "pass out" as a result of "Jack Daniels" helping me celebrate. LOL
If there is not even a "completed" prototype, how can there be any possibility of tech revenue for a LONG time?
deeba, how am I "wrong again"? Please elaborate.
I thought there was a "COMPLETED" prototype that is currently being tested by two companies. What's going on here?
Alberto says, "prototype which is currently in an
advanced stage of development."
How much longer is this process going to drag out until NVEI actually gets some tech revenue and long-time shareholders can finally be rewarded?
Also, I wonder if any of the big tech companies (with mucho bucks already in place for research and development) have similar advanced prototypes?
wheels, what, realistically, would be an example of "very good news" at the SH meeting that could drive the share price to a buck by the end of October?
Judging by the recent share price decline, there must be others that have similar feelings to doughjo and are selling going into the SH meeting. What other reasons could there be for the share price decline at this time?
denise, what are you insinuating? "Nobody thinks it's odd that some "longs" have all of a sudden become impatient and distrustful right after all the filings to sell 144s?"
Has this directly or indirectly contributed to the mysterious share price drop before the shareholder meeting? IYO
wheels, that apology was pretty classy. Hope you're feeling better.
wheels, "perhaps", yeh, yeh, "perhaps". Do to a lack of pertinent information, most of this board revolves around "perhaps". Your last paragraph, does have some merit, just to be fair.
wheels, understand, that I could care less how you or anybody here evaluates my contribution. Just curious, if you're saying that I "never make a contribution", why do you waste your time reading my posts? Just ignore me, "no big deal".
wheels, so you probably don't feel Ketch had anything to do with this "timely, fluff" PR do you?
Why would NVEI fund Alberto's grant/research if it "has very little (if anything) to do with NVEI's tech"?
