Any particular reason why NVEI is drifting lower today, with strength in the overall market?
Groovy, how long have you been an NVEI shareholder?
I'm not asking for officials to breach the "blackout". Just say something indicating they still believe the tech will reward shareholders. Maybe some comments in a Letter to Shareholders. Not fluff, just sincere reinforcement would be nice.
By the way, give me some examples of my redundant questions in the last month.
Oh, we are alike in one aspect, "I just call it as I see it", as well.
Groovy, you are out-thinking yourself. I think you haven't been involved with this company as a shareholder as long as I have. I doubt if you've experienced as many let-downs from NVEI as I have. Nobody, will ever "snow" me again with this company. I want facts, results/production, and honesty. That is my motive.
Also, don't play mind games or try to intimidate me. It won't work.
excel, we'll soon get a better read on the worthiness of the high salaries. However, if the tech results are negative, what do you propose? Just for conjecture.
hitimer, nothing specific. Just confimation that they they feel things are going well with testing and a timeline reiteration for official results.
EW, another good find, thanks for sharing.
Actually jazzy, what I'd really like to see is some tech revenues.
excel, If I get under your skin, why don't you and others just use your "ignore" feature. No Big Deal!
I just remember seeing many "don't worry, things are fine" type overtures in the past and as it turned out things weren't fine.
Maybe things are different now and I hope they are, but I'm cautious about the "blackout". I'm a shareholder expressing his opinion just like the "rah rah" crowd used to redundantly express theirs' that "things are fine". Where did that get us?
I don't have a problem with waiting a couple more months for the official word. They just could be a little more informative in general about if things are progressing as expected. IMO Why is that too much to ask if they don't have anything to hide and they don't mention any names or give any details?
deeba, I'm just more concerned about the NVEI "plan" than you.
From the looks of the share price, there are others concerned about the lack of updated information.
Cheers
Will the next RAQ answer two simple tech testing questions?
With the "black-out", will Ketch provide shareholders with at least a general outlook on the status of tech testing? If not, this is one shareholder who will not be happy. If testing is progressing well, hopefully as NVEI expected, why can't he just say something to that effect without revealing any "top-secret" information? Also, when can shareholders expect to see the results?
EW, thanks for the tax cut information.
"nervous Nellie", BULL. Why don't shareholders have a right to be curious about their investment? We've taken far too much for granted with this company in the past.
Haven't at least a couple posters said that in recent conversations with Ketch, he indicated things are on schedule? Wonder what that means, just tests results or expected positive test results.
DiscDoc, the fact that NVEI has delivered RAQ's is fairly impressive. But, I'm still not sure I'm "buying" the current "tech black-out". They should be giving, at least some general progress reports to shareholders. All may be going well, but the "black-out" leaves NVEI wide-open to skepticism, as evidenced by the lowly shareprice. IMO
Yeh, the RAQ's haven't helped the share price much have they? I like them for info, but prefer results.
I'm talking about within the next three months.
Please Ketch, a PR that assures "TECH REVENUES"
deeba, how can you be so "mellow"? lol
NT, "With current knowledge, many of us can see we got in line earlier than we needed to"
Amen, to that!
Thanks cosmo! Did Ketch tell you this recently, that "things are really falling into place"? Or something like that.
Also, as far as what is holding up financing, you could be "right-on" with this, "(once the lender receives an indication of future rev to repay loan)."
As long as NVEI has adequate monies to get them through successful testing. My guess they'll really need the funding to get the product to market.
More than anything, I'd like to know if Ketch indicated that he feels testing is going well.
cosmo, after you answer excel's question please answer mine.
Are you predicting this by the end of July?
"once they annouce that they are ready to roll out a product in the "real world" NVEI will run big time."

34Simmons, has he been legally banned from from making any affirmative statements about NVEI since then? If not, why havn't we heard from him?
famlydog, the share price tells me there are many others apprehensive about the current situation.
Are you saying we should know something definitive by the Shareholders' Meeting as to if the tech can bring in some revenue this year?
famlydog, I'm not saying NVEI "has nothing". I question if they can produce for the benefit of shareholders this year.
excel, I would think a few "positive vibs" sent out by Dr. Greaves would help the stagnant share price which would in turn help promote interest in funding and even help get a better funding deal with a higher share price. Not to mention what it would do for shareholders' confidence and psyche.
I'm not talking about a cheap "pump", but a casual uplifting comment at least, letting people know he's still thrilled to be on the team and a believer in the tech would suffice.
I mean, NVEI could use a little credibilty boost at this point.
What am I missing?
excel, wouldn't it be nice if Dr. Greaves would make even a general statement supporting the efficacy of Embarq?
When is the last time he stated something publicly even remotely positive about NVEI and the tech?
After reading Berkowitz's resume' again, I am even more amazed that he has not been able to "swing" a financing deal beneficial to NVEI. I'm absolutely AMAZED!
My "gut feeling" is
that NVEI has a product with potential. But that it will need much more "tweeking" to be effective and profitable in the real world.
This will take time and money. I question whether NVEI has enough of either. Just a "gut feeling". Obviously, as an investor in NVEI, I hope all is and will be well.
cosmo, that was well-put. I really want NVEI to succeed but realistically it's really hard to get too exuberant.
If Ray is currently drawing more salary than Ketch, how can that possibly be justified?
I'm trying to figure out if the lack of financing is telling us something about the true viability of the tech in it's current form.
To me a financing deal would not be just good for the monetary aspect, it would signal that somebody has independently looked at the tech and likes it's chances of being functionable in the real world and profitable.
cosmo, so why then would they finance something if they are not pretty sure the company will be successful and they'll get their money back?
Does NVEI have enough credibility at this stage, that financiers can just take NVEI's word for it?
One thing that really concerns me.
I wonder how much the potential financiers get to find out about the tech. Could it be they've seen it and aren't sure enough about it's viability at this stage, to sink their funds into it?
Has Ketch ever said anything about how much tech information potential financiers require and how much NVEI provides?
OT, iOwn, It seems like I've seen Langer's name connected to something regarding Boston Life Sciences. I'd be interested to know if your wife is familiar with BLSI. They have some interesting products in the pipeline.
deeba, I wish a financier with "deep pockets" felt the same way.
"There is a HUGE market for Embarq:"
I talked with a sharp telco person yesterday.
I asked him about the cost of fiberoptics. He indicated that if telcos get commitments, they'll spend the money to lay fiberoptics. This was after I tried to emphasize the cost-effectiveness of NVEI's tech compared to fiberoptics. I didn't know enough to take it from there as to if and how Emgarq could possibly enhance fiberoptics.
From what I gathered, he's concerned that NVEI might get surpassed if they don't get moving in their quest to develop a viable product.
He seemed to wonder if NVEI has enough engineering personel on hand.
WE NEED FINANCING!
excel, please clarify something for me. I seem to vaguely recall Ketch saying something about shareholders would be getting updates about the progress of testing. Am I incorrect or was there a followup from Ketch declaring a need for a "tech news blackout", thus ending the plan for tech testing progress reports?
Ketch did deliver on the stated prototype timeline. So there is hope that we'll hear something within the eight month timeframe. IMO
deeba, HMD to you as well. I am mildly diappointed you don't have any thoughts on this.
