What about Australia, Europe, South America and the Far East?
Trexville, thanks for the SIL interview schedule. If SIL turns out to be a "blockbuster", do you feel it could directly contribute to a $1 or so appreciation in the share price? If you could discuss the potential indirect ramifications on the share price as well, I'd appreciate it.
excel, could it be that NVEI has gotten so used to the shareholders' "trusting attitude" that they expect more? How else can anyone explain this share authorization proposal? If NVEI does not present at least a simplistic, general tech update by the shareholders' meeting, shareholders should be "up in arms" in light of this share authorization deal that will inevitably be pushed through. It's time shareholders get a clearer picture of their investment.
jeff, this is probably idealistic, but could NVEI possibly sense the overall dismay of shareholders on this issue after a floor discussion at the shareholders' meeting and voluntarily amend the proposal?
excel, your proposal makes a lot sense for SHAREHOLDERS. Wouldn't the other proposal have to be voted down before this type of shareholder-friendly deal could be presented? Realistically, this should have been brought up for discussion at the shareholders' meeting before it ever was on the proxy. This is why we shareholders need a "true-blue" representative on the BOD. IMO I assume this proposal in the proxy has the full blessing of the BOD.
excel, a respected shareholder such a you, expressing this type of candor, makes you more valuable than ever to many fellow shareholders. IMO
I know I ask a lot of questions, but these may actually be timely and significant. What happens if the 400 million authorized shares proposal is voted down? Is there an alternative? If we could only get some REAL evidence that the tech is really on track, I wouldn't be so leery of this deal.
Thanks stick, I hope something good comes out of it.
stick, I'll ask anything I want about NVEI on this forum. If you don't approve, no biggie.
spokeshave says, "We are spending close to a million dollars a year on executive compensation and bonuses. These "executives" reign over.... themselves only. No one else. How can they even call this a company? It is 4 "executives" who excel at diluting shareholder value while giving gobs of money to themselves and off-shore "consultants". Arrrrrgh. This is frustrating."
spokeshave, what can be done about this?
tappy, I understand that "timely manner" stuff. I still feel shareholders "deserve" honest updates about the general status of the tech. Such as whether it is behind schedule as far as it's actual deployment in the real world which would likely result in a delay of the earlier projections of the tech bringing in revenues for the company in 2003, if I recall correctly.
OT: no3putts1, just want to let you know that I'm serious about that dog deal. I've checked into some fares today. I can make the trip to the shareholders' meeting, if I can get those pups sold by next Sunday.
By the way, the English Setters have ten Hall of Fame champions in their pedigree and will be nine weeks old tomorrow. They will be registered with F.D.S.B. There are two white with black females, one white with orange female and one white with orange male. They have had two rounds of shots and worming. I wanted to get you some more specific information, just in case you are serious about helping me sell them.
Where are you located?
If you need any more infomation please to e-mail or call me. Maybe we can exchange that info on chat.
If you can't find anybody interested, "no big deal".
I really appreciate your help and look forward to meeting you and others.
deeba, I've talked with both Ray and Brad on the phone. They are impressive. I just wish NVEI's accomplishments would be, too.
putts, I'd even try to answer a few questions as well. lol
OT putts, it would be the purchaser's responsibility.
deeba, why do we even have a message board if we can't ask either other questions and speculate about what's going on with the company? NVEI sure hasn't presented much "black and white" info for us to digest.
Also, judging from what's actually come out of past meetings, why should we really think this one will be any different? However, I'd like to meet some of you.
putts said about me, "Or, perhaps the truth of the matter, is he prefers to ask the questions not answer them."
Tell you what, you help me get four English Setter pups sold for $800 and I'll be there asking plenty of questions.
Brady, deeba, and putts.
Brady, that was very well-stated.
deeba and putts, I've been checking airfares regularly (St. Louis-Portland). Right now, I can't fit the fare into my budget. Maybe, if we get some worthwhile news between now and the meeting, the shareprice will appreciate to a point I can sell some shares to help pay for the trip. But, I'm not holding my breath.
I also have four beautiful English Setter pups that I'm trying to sell to help pay for the trip. Anybody need a dandy bird dog/pet? lol
In spite of the "blackout", will NVEI "level" with shareholders at the shareholders' meeting about the general status of the tech? Such as whether it is behind schedule as far as it's actual deployment in the real world bringing in revenues for the company. As a shareholder, I'd really like to know this. In fact, I deserve it.
Wonder who WHP is alluding to? lol
So, is it "cut and dried"? Is there no way shareholders can "head off" this possible "unauthorized" usage of the proposed additional, authorized shares until we get evidence that the tech is truly viable? By "unauthorized", I mean to use the shares for reasons other than collateral for the loan.
Why can't NVEI provide shareholders with some kind of official, general update on the status of the tech before asking them to commit more shares?
Sorry hitimer, until NVEI actually establishes some tech credibility, I'm skeptical.
The "everything is fine" mentality doesn't
"cut it" for me anymore. "To each their own."
hitimer says, "So tell me,austin; what do you want NVC to release for us, the public and our competitors to know?"
As a shareholder, I just want evidence that the tech REALLY works in the real world and will produce revenue. Not just CLAIMS that is works and will produce revenue.
"And can you guarantee me that such information release would not put us at a competitive disadvantage?"
hitimer, can you guarantee me that this "blackout" wasn't just a "smokescreen" to buy management more time without having to answer to shareholders?
Isn't it about time that this "esteemed" bunch actually prove something beneficial to shareholders of NVEI?
pengy says, "I am still for this issue on the proxy. Yes, there are alternatives, but they are in no way advantagous to us as Shareholders from what I have seen."
The projected 4-8 month period to test the prototype is about up, why not wait until we get a report to see if a successfully-tested prototype can be used as collateral? Thus, not having to authorize so many shares and possibly saving unnecessary dilution.
jeff, you make a couple interesting points. The selling of the tech has always seemed to me as a reasonable option if NVEI can't "get it done" on their own. Provided NVEI has something attractive enough to sell. Also, this nondesignated authorization of an excessive amount of shares doesn't "trip my trigger" either. Not with some of the things I've seen in the past as for the salary/tech development spending ratio.
I'd like to see us wait until the test reports come in on the tech before authorizing that excessive amount of shares. If they are positive, proving revenues are inevitable, wouldn't that suffice as collateral for the loan for the development of the ASIC and bringing the tech to market?
How difficult would it be for shareholders to elect common-sense, truly shareholder-concerned representatives like spokeshave and excel to the BOD? I know I'd feel much better about my investment in NVEI with those two representing shareholders.
Does anybody feel we'll get a tech update of some sort before the shareholders' meeting?
GrooveMaster, put me down for $145,050.00.
cosmo, what can we do to change that? IYO
Groove, I really don't have any idea. I'm just glad it's out and will provide some revenue for NVEI. Lord knows, we need it. I am encouraged by your optimism about the film. You seem to know what you talking about in the entertainment sector.
hitimer, obviously you don't like my style and your verbose turns me off. Let's just ignore each other's posts, fair enough?
immitt, thanks for your concern. I'm not as "stressed out" as you may think. I'll admit to being "aggrevated" with the way this company operates and performs. I just want to help let NVEI know they are dealing with "a different animal" now. One that is hard to impress with words.
By the way, I have another stock that is really on the move. It more than counteracts my disappointment and aggrevation with NVEI.
CWH, I've heard enough talk from the company. It doesn't mean anything to me anymore. All I care about is NVEI proving their worth by delivering results. Now what's wrong with those simple expectations? As they say "talks cheap" and so far in regards to funding and tech development, NVEI exemplifies that.
hitimer, what does that post have to do with NVEI? When I'm struggling with insomnia, I often read your nebulous rambling. Who are you trying to impress with that "stuff"?
I've had my personal campaign going for a while now to get people to question what's going on with this dubious investment. More and more shareholders are expressing their concern, much to my delight. Maybe my "quizzical" approach is helping to "wake some people" up. Hopefully, if there is enough discontent for the unproductive performance and noncommunicative approach by NVEI, they will pay more attention to our needs.
deeba, I'd really like to know the basis for your seemingly unconditional optimism about NVEI. Don't you see any kind of reasons why shareholders' concerns and complaints are justified?
zzt, I hope Ketch and the boys read your sincere post. "We must have some sort of honest info on the tech." How can they expect shareholders to support them any longer without a tech update that verifies that they have a truly viable product?
excel, it would be hard to argue that "We have no funding because something doesn't add up".
I think back to Ketch's "ranting and raving" letter after Supercomm. We sure haven't seen much to back up his glowing optimism at the time. That letter was strange, IMO. Was he trying to "drum up" some funding interest? As of now, that letter sure didn't enhance his credibility. IMO We need some results, Brad. "The natives are getting restless".
.
spokeshave, that is tactfully "telling it like it is". IMO
"I have spoken to Brad and John, before he left. It is not really a question of honesty or believing. It has now just simply come down to results for me. I will not longer endulge in wishful thinking. I will no longer offer the company the benefit of the doubt. In the past, I have given them far more benefit that they earned. That does not mean that I do not trust them, believe them, or think them dishonest."
GrooveMaster, for all we really know, it may be the only thing shareholders have to be even remotely excited about at the present time.
