williamjs, any wonder why some are very cautious (an understatement) of where NVEI is with their tech? With no tech updates in months, I'm amazed the share price isn't lower.
Brady or anybody, could you please elaborate on the "box" that was shown at last year's shareholders' meeting? Was it "misrepresented" in any way?
"Is this the same group of imaginative incompetents who thought that the box they were shown at the meeting last year was a prototype but simply didn't understand the "whole-truth" meaning of prototype."
spokeshave, IYO, when is the earliest NVEI can possibly "bring an ASIC to market"?
deeba, please tell me this, is there ANYTHING about the current state of NVEI (other than obviously, the share price)that bothers you?
so pengy, you feel shareholders should just accept further dilution with nonproduction?
Frankly, it looks like either the NVEI tech has serious question marks to financiers or Berkowitz and Cooper's influence was over-rated or both.
Pengy, don't you have "Just a few thoughts" on why Berkowitz and Cooper may have not been able to secure "much needed" financing to develop this "blockbuster" tech?
GrooveMaster, I've been away. Please inform me the date and location of the SH meeting.
spokeshave and pengy, I know this is redundant, but WHY haven't Berkowitz and Cooper "stepped up to the plate", considering they should have a good idea of where this company's future is, realistically? That really bothers me as a shareholder. In fact, considering the amount of my investment, frankly "it kinda scares me". Please enlighten me, if the NVEI tech has "blockbuster" potential, they should know it and be able to entice some of their contacts into at least modest financing to keep NVEI afloat, shouldn't they?. What am I missing?
Actually, the more I think about it, these questions should be answered by Berkowitz, Cooper and Ketch. Shareholders deserve to know the truth.
immitt has presented something very important for shareholders to seriously consider. IMO
As an NVEI shareholder, it's like your driving around, lost, with no one around to give you directions. Very, very frustrating!
iOwn, I can think of a company featured here that could certainly stand to "trim some fat" until they actually deliver for shareholders.
spokeshave, you think cosmo is right, that maybe we need to stop "annoying" Ketch and the NVEI team?
They better "get their act together" on this non-communication issue or NVEI will revisit the .20s. IMO
Thanks Pengy, but if "The Technology works, and no other Company has a Technology that can perform as well as NVEI's Technology", wouldn't some VC's have investigated this and seen this vast potential? The lack of financing is telling me that they are not as sure as you are. Also, why haven't Cooper and Berkowitz arranged some much-needed financing for NVEI if they know the tech is "so good"?
Pengy stated, "Now here's the most important item stated by all three people that I spoke with: The Technology works, and no other Company has a Technology that can perform as well as NVEI's Technology".
So Pengy, WHY IN THE HECK does NVEI have such a time closing a financing deal?
WHP. I just can imagine anything short of actually delivering something being acceptable to most shareholders at the next meeting. It's "put up" time and I think they know it. They better.
Has anybody received any input directly from the company as to why the shareholder meeting is being pushed back this year?
I truly wish this company would finally deliver on the financing and tech development that they have been alluding to. But in the meantime, it is refreshing that more and more shareholders are realizing and expressing their caution in the "words spoken" not "facts presented" relative to NVEI. This could be a factor in the lack of recent communication from the company. They may understand the "bar has been raised" by many shareholders.
cosmo, you're amazing, you of all people are advising me to "stay on one side of the fence". By the way, Pengy and I go way back. He knows what I was getting at. My guess is, you missed the point.
cosmo, aren't you being overly (and ridiculously) presumptuous about me leaving an annoying phone message? "Get a grip" and the facts before you post.
Maybe Ketch now has a "blackout" on returning phone calls to shareholders. If the reason is that he's working diligently on behalf of shareholders to secure financing and a viable tech, I can understand. But what real evidence do we have that is the case?
excel, Ketch hasn't returned my call on my last call to the company. I agree whole-heartedly that Ketch buying shares on the open market with his own money would be a sincere statement of faith in the company's future by reinforcing what he's been claiming.
pengy, while your in San Diego, please drop by NVEI's headquarters and let them know how frustrated many long-time shareholders are after months and months of no positive news on financing and tech development.
I still can't quite grasp why the names of the companies doing the testing isn't being revealed. What would that jeopardize, really? Could one of the factors be that they don't want shareholders calling those companies and "bugging" them about it?
The movie deal with Artisan is signed, right?
CWH, that was indeed informative.
spokeshave, thanks for pointing this out. This isn't very encouraging is it?
There's another "family" of NVEI investors, and some of them have been critical of me in the past. All they want it simply, "THE TRUTH" about their investment. Nothing more, nothing less.
jjz, aren't you an attorney? You could draw up the stipulations (for a fee, lol). Wouldn't it be impressive if somebody really close to NVEI would show the rest us how strongly they REALLY believe? Maybe that would motivate some of us to invest more.
jjz, I do respect your opinion but I'd just really like to know if somebody (no matter what board) feels strongly enough about Embarq to accept that bet. "Talk's cheap" !!! In fact, if one of a handful of people would accept that bet, I'd probably buy some more shares (Trexville, hint, hint).
CWH says, "Would you just give it a rest for a few days?" Give what a rest? If this stock were creeping up instead of down in anticipation of "great news", I'd be more than happy to "jump on the bandwagon". But I'm interpreting the price action as "somewhat skeptical", at best, of NVEI's ability to deliver.
I'm still anxious to see if anybody actually believes enough in Embarq to bet this guy. That would "put their money where their mouth is". Maybe Trex will.
Somebody on another board wants to bet 30k that Embarq has failed. Wonder if he'll get a taker.
cosmo, I'm talking the real status of funding not this "funding is in the bag" sort of innuendo we've been hearing for quite a while but never see it. Also, what is our tech currently really capable of? I mean an independent verification of the viabilty of the tech or at least one of our own experts saying something positive about the tech occasionally instead of all this "blind faith" stuff they expect shareholders to "buy" as fact. They should be providing shareholders with some discreet updates about these important subjects. IMO
If NVEI wouldn't be so reluctant to inform shareholders "the facts" regarding their investment, there wouldn't be so much suspicion amongst the troops. IMO
Trexville, do you feel Ray has not "overpromised and underdelivered"?
cosmo, in this day and age of corporate accountability, wouldn't there be some legal considerations?
"Huge salaries, yet R&D GOES WANTING FOR LACK OF FUNDS????"
I sincerely hope this will be an afterthought, SOON. But if the tech's development was curtailed by this scenario causing it to "miss the boat", or if it turns out we were "strung along" by the blackout, there will be some "hacked off" shareholders. I would think they understand that.
hitimer, how long are you prepared to "delay gratification" on financing and solid, official tech news?
"We are all being called upon, it seems, to exercise the ability to delay gratification."
immitt, I seem to remember you being somewhat "leery" of NVEI not so long ago. Was it a phone conversation you had with Ketch that instilled your confidence in NVEI? If so, can you share some of the things that impressed you so much?
birdie, but you really don't know for sure, do you?
