Good one!!!!!
We never did find the darned tent again. Of course, we are federation-trained at survival in the wild and normally, this should have been quite re-assuring but for one small oversight:The stars were visible not because the planet on which we'd set up camp was turned away from its suns, but because a spacecraft of unbelievable size had put itself in something of a geo-synchronous orbit and was in the process of siphoning off millions of metric megatons of solar material just before the closest star was about to go nova.
At the time, we did not realized we were scr*wed with our panties on. Our orbiting guests could not have possibly cared less. How we survived is another story for another day.Suffice it to say we DID survive and we DID give our guests a piece of our mind before we departed. (They should've been nicer to us.)
Spock out.
BTW....I do believe our little stock should go NOVA nearly any second, no?
I am so confused.
Somebody tell a joke. The numbers in my B/A fields are changing for the third time this morning in ways not reflected in overall volume. It seemed for a bit that someone with some humble amount of cash could walk in and push this right over the edge into new territory pricewise, then everything changed. Now things look more the way they did yesterday at EOD.
I think JWez had said things are playing out the way they are because of a timeline SP is adhering to. So, last week, this timeline made it appropriate to disclose new financials.
(If you had told me last week I'd still be waiting today for the corrected financials I would have told you "NO WAY". Ya, I learned my lesson. What a shame, a real opportunity was missed becuase of those financials, IMHO.
So let's say the new financials are imminently due to be released. -Not that we feel desperate or anything--- This should open the doorway for other news to be disclosed, right? If not, then we have to start thinking more in terms of how cycles move in the Hospitality industry to help us manage this investment. We have no alternatives, unfortunately.
Again, I find myself wondering what it is about the makeup of the present board that would make disclosing the lineup now detrimental to this timeline ( or to members of the board). Very curious.
I need more copper in my diet. I tried to do a mindmeld with the onboard computer and nerve-pinched it instead by mistake. This is easier to do than one might think. So now, we're headed at warp 19 into the neutral zone upside down. I have never seen Kirk so pissed. Sulu is just glaring at me from his console. I think Dr. McCoy is laughing. Now there's some alien probe on our tail we've never seen before. I am going to dump some trash from the galley in its way. That ought to do something. Last night's fish dinners were atrocious.
I'm sorry, already. One little mistake in 37 years. Gosh, cut me a little slack, guys.
Spock out.
My $0.00000000002 worth: No one can make a dime if no one is trading. This whole thing remains a completely well-primed tinderbox and ain't nobody goin' no where until SP and CO. (Inc.) let the rest of us in on the State of the Union.
That's all fancy Vulcan talk from the far northern reaches.
Is it a good or a thing? I don't think it is either, really. It simply indicates how everything has settled out given the lack of usable data.
Kind of like having the warp drive running at 110% but forgetting to put the ship in DRIVE.
SPock out.
At least I know why the Lime-filled ice cube resonates with me as it does.
Both of us have green fluid inside! Kinda makes yer wunder a bit, don't it?
Spock out.
Question for smart people....
Is the famous Lime-filled Tivus ice-cube trademarked?
Just askin'.
Because inquiring Vulcans have a little extra time on their hands this afternoon.
(Tried to trademark my ears but was too much of a hassle, so I trademarked my haircut instead. Apparently, though, it has little market value. I missed the boat on that one.)
Spock out.
Hindsight & Afterthoughts
Well, I don't know how much of this I can credit with the Tivus dreamteam and how much can be credited with general apathy, but last week's debacle has neither gotten any traction in the news, nor has it had any negative bearing on the value of the stock.
It appears everyone is holding tight. No panic selling. Somehow, still don't get it, but there seems to be a good ratio of short selling going on with this stock according to shortvolume.com.
I think if I was a competitor of Tivus, I'd be getting a little bit worried now. The lid on information has been so tightly clamped shut I see no way to google-book my way past anything. Anyone who is in negotiations with Tivus is saying nothing. Anyone who was, but is no longer negotiating with Tivus is saying nothing. No one , save SP, even has an FB page that we know of and SP does not really use any of the 3 he has set up. No subcontractors are leaking a word. No previous/current clients are, either. In fact, I can find no public acknowledgement by any company anywhere who has signed on with Tivus to advertise. The Whitehouse and CIA would be proud to have this level of compliance with secrecy matters. It is impressive. The threat of violating the NDA must be quite formidable.
Ah...the Art of War... the power of stealth.
Regarding my earlier post today, thanks for the nice comments. I appreciate it.
Hey! Wanna hear a joke?
Not me, I'm Vulcan. LOL.
Spock out.
I have been thinking about JWez' notions about how much attention we, on this forum, give to the hour-to-hour doings of SP an his posse. In a word, he thought maybe SP might wonder why we are all so hypervigilant and hypersensitive about Tivus. It's not our project, it's his. And if we don't like what is going on why do we just unload, take our hit and find something we like better?
First, I would be willing to bet a good number of Tivus investors are in a position of loss right now if they sold their holdings. We really despise losing money especially on investments we think could be performing better. That's reason 1.
2--- For some of us, the loss we would take is relatively large and the thought of taking that hit might simply be unbearable.
3-This one applies to me--- though we have had no financial information of use in many months, the clues we have had indicate Tivus is moving forward ...and the value of the endeavor is very likely (in fact, obviously) increasing, though we can't prove it yet. SO, unless we have some urgent need for this particular cash, we will wait it out to see what will eventually have to be shown.
4- Some of us are deeply mystified by the behavior of the CEO. He exudes total confidence in the company and those things we are used to seeing from other CEOs, like transparency to one degree or another, seems not to apply here. Even releasing the names of the board--we are led to believe- is simply too sensitive at this time to disclose. That is simply extraordinary. Can this be true or is SP just overly cautious? So, the CEO has a mystique which captivates us on some level and compels us to continue, like we're reading some great murder mystery.
In the end, should we care so much? Would all of us not be better off doing almost anything else rather than fretting, speculating and complaining and provoking all the time? Perhaps. I guess it all depends on one's motivations for investing to begin with. Ya, it's a given we all want to make money, but beyond that, whatever Tivus is , it has reeled us in and made us care more about ti than perhaps some of our other investments. Maybe we think we can influence how it evolves. Maybe we think a crime is being committed against us. Maybe it will rescue us from some bad investments we've made in the past or put some 401k accounts back on track.
I think one thing is for sure: Nothing untoward is going to sneak by this bunch. There are some sharp people here. Another thing: it is true that if we bash each other or the company, nothing good can possibly come of that. Nothing.
The bottom line.. and I think it's a good one... is that we all care. It manifests differently for each one of us, but without a doubt, we care. And we're not just going to sit back and let the wind blow as it may if we have anything to say about it. I want any potential investor to look into this forum and see that we are emotionally invested in Tivus. We have seen potential and we want to see it realized, it is what we expect to happen here.
I have just sold the movie rights to this post so my lawyer says I must stop writing here.
Spock---enroute to the Screen Actor's Guild for paperwork processing.
No more tweets on the website?
Seems like there is no more scrolling tweets on the site now. Maybe just a revision under way . 9:57 pm edt
Spock <scratching left side of fanny>
Dittos, JWez...we appreciate that you are in our camp doin whatever you can for all.
A backward looking statement instead of a forward looking statement? Count me in on that!! There is still this--for lack of a better term--- "hunch" that whenever the right time arrives and TIVUS makes those backward-looking statements we so desperately need, the competition will be in a state of complete WTFobia.
I just don't know the inner workings of the hospitality market well enough to make any sensible hypotheses about when such a time has arrived.
Off to the holodeck for a virtual lunch.
SPock.
Well, at least I have a better perspective on where investors stand in the world of Tivus. I needed this.
I think it is fair to say that ducks are not in a row right now. A week after this fiasco, the company's meeting with a CPA. I make no assumptions about this. It may be the fifth one they have interviewed in a week for all I know. There is NO chance last week's disaster will ever visit Tivus again. That is a very good thing.
Rather than complicating his life further by having anyone shadow him for a week, why would he not be further ahead to simply tell us what we would learn if someone did so? I appreciate that he is making such an offer, buts surely it would require an NDA to be signed and the shadow would then not be able to say really anything more than Jwez can say now.
If last week did not present an opportunity that should not have been lost, that is significant to me. I will remain long on Tivus. I do not like how things are handled in the area of communication one little bit, but if SP is going to remain a person who demands an extremely high level of integrity with whatever it is that IS going on, then I am good with that. I will wait to see what he eventually has to say about those financials since there is OBVIOUSLY more to that story than any of us knows right now.( If the team remains in place despite this event, that is a good sign, but I have no way to verify it.)
Last week shook me up. I won't deny it. And in the world of damage control, damage was not controlled. I don't like that.
For me, and probably for many of us here, it is likely time better spent looking for other opportunities instead of watching TIVU like a hawk every day waiting for reasonable disclosures I should never have had to wait for to begin with.
To SP and crew I say this: I trust you. I support your endeavor. My expectation is that whenever you decide you are ready to begin building that relationship with investors that you always mention is so very important that you'll be able to tell us why this information-free zone has been allowed to evolve as it has.
I will very likely buy more stock despite that state of things. You'll make it worth the wait, right? As I said, I trust you.
SPock, standing by.
Please forgive me. My question about the 540 shares traded was specious. This is clearly a signal sent between MMs. I do not know the nature of the message but given what actually happened, it would appear the message was "I need so cheaper shares right now."
Someone covering shorts possibly? Maybe. No one sells 540 shares of anything at these prices. I have investigated, however, the signalling process and this 'transaction' very clearly walks and talks like a message signal.
Sulu used to "wink" at me in the early days. I had thought that this was some military operational signal that I had somehow overlooked in my Federation training manual. Much later, I learned that it actually meant that he personally found me 'attractive'.
Apparently, I offended him by not winking back.
Spock out.
Thermo... I'll give you 50 quatloos for whatever MWWC you have right now. I got a Ferengi trader on the line who says we're all missing the boat on this one.
Could be a win-win-win. Whadya say?
Wait... you use quatloos?
SPock out.
Perhaps Tivus investors have been beaten about the head one too many times. We went form being told Tivus is "ready" to being shown that Tivus appears to be "not ready at all".
It is demoralizing to say the least. I am usually upbeat, positive and optimistic. I broke one of my own rules and suggested that some of my investor friends consider Tivus right after the now infamous "Ready" tweet. I have now been made to look positively stoopid. I guess i don't appreciate it, but I should've known better. Shame on me.
Dream team or not, I cannot understand why this is playing out this way. We are being expected to be mighty resilient.We are expendable.
McCoy says I do better at Poker and Blackjack. Of course he is right. I have beaten the stethoscope off him so many times we don't play for money or property anymore. He still owes me 3 weeks shore leave and a replicator mod that allows me to whip up a batch of my grandfather's secret "lizard sauce" which, when applied to certain protein-heavy meals, induces euphoric side-effects. Gramps was a "one-off". He once programmed a transporter to send a vial laden with his own DNA to materialize on a very young, moist and uninhabited planetoid..then visited the place about 30 million years later. He would never talk about it. Upon his return he was immediately hospitalized. He would mutter incoherently about religion, fate and inbreeding.He would watch the movie Deliverance over and over. Most unusual.
Anyway.. I digress.
Spock..way out.
A trade of 540 shares is enough to drop this a tick?
Oh, how I would love to understand how the stock market works. I used to think I had some idea, but recently I have learned I know nothing at all.
Spock... to the ship's library.
Deja Vu.
Hey, I think I've been here before. This is weird. No temporal loops in the area. NO eleven dimensional strings afoot. Hmmm. No black holes....oh ...
Oh, wait. There IS a black hole. The famous Tivus Black Hole . Almost missed it. So dark.
Nothing, not even light (or cash) itself can escape. Got it.
Fascinating. Should I send in a probe? Hmmmm.
Yes. I am going to send in an accounting probe along with a contract-sniffer. Yes...and a generic Disclosure agreement signed by Gene Roddenberry. Yes. That should do it.
This is great! What fun. Spock out.
Beyond belief. All one can say at this point is that is is simply beyond belief that any rational person, DD or no DD might look at a stock such as this one and conclude this is where they want to invest money.
If MDGC can make themselves appear viable for just one day, that is long enough to attract someone who will not only put money here, but they will vehemently defend the act...to the death.This, in turn, attracts others. I am fascinated, stunned and otherwise completely knocked out.
I wish all investors on this the very best luck available on the market today. You will so badly be needing it.
BTW...angers me to no end that the money I have in legitmate companies with great products, run by great folks have lower OTC ratings. I can't wait to hear what someone says about that.
I am going to beam myself into a wall. Spock out.
Kaiser, I can't speak for everyone, just myself. I am able to stay positive because I rely pretty heavily on what I know about human nature. I'm also 473 years old.
Like many here, I know what to expect when someone is acting like a crook. They behave certain ways I don't really need to spell out. I can also put 2 and 2 together and I know where the line is when trying to deduce complicated things. There is just so much one can deduce without stepping deeply into speculative waters. I don't step into deep water.
Since the CEO keeps the rest of the world at arms length, it did not surprise me at all when I discovered a facebook page where he revealed about himself that he may have trust issues when dealing with people. I have heard the nature of the conversations he has had with others on this and other forums.
I also have experience bringing patented technology to market and there are probably fewer scenarios that would rattle a distrustful person than trying to bring one's own special secret to the world in a wy which protects my own interests. And, yes, I would expect it to be quite difficult to share the reins with others even if I understood intellectually that they knew what they were doing better than I.
All this being said, I see a man with a great idea, a healthy respect for the value of secrecy regarding proprietary property, an incredible drive, a strong need for integrity in his life, a spiritual center in his heart and soul, a business going through the growing pains a young business often must endure on its way to maturity and I see a very clear interest from others in the industry who have much credibility.
After all of that, in my own personal life I have had the very good fortune to be part of DELIBERATELY changing my own negative attitude about something to a positive attitude. The effect of this change was far-reaching and it produced unexpected positive results which far outweighed ant results I was getting by advocating a negative attitude.(When a few people maintain a positive attitude, usually several more join in and it becomes a compounding effect. The effects CANNOT be ignored... they far outperform anything driven by a negative attitude of similar magnitude.)
I am no fool. If I see things that give me serious red flags on the field..and I begin to feel that the overall gestalt of this man, his company and this investment are going south I may have to reevaluate and move out of this into other opportunities.
But as for right now, from my "big picture" perspective, Tivus is the horse on which I am putting some of my money. I think and I feel it is a winning move and many, many people will profit from the concept when it finally comes to fruition. I have NO doubt about that art all.
With regard to Tivus and other stocks, this is both how and why I stay positive.
I was going to make a joke to close this little post, but I remembered at the last minute that I am not particularly funny at all and it sometimes makes me a little queazy to try to be funny.
Spock...LOL
I don't think there are any threes for sale right now, can I show you something from the back room, perhaps?
If my 70K wasn't tied up elsewhere right now, I'd buy up the rest of the twos and offer them all to SP in exchange for the information we all really need to have right now.
This situation is nearly untenable. Talk about "character-building". I am known by so many as a very patient Vulcan, but I feel tested right now.
I think I am going to see if there is any Sorian brandy left in that bottle Mr. Scott gave me yesterday. I found if you drink alcohol in the shuttle bay with the door a little bit open, the atmospheric pressure drops and opens up all your veins a bit giving the alcohol more surface area to work with. End result: One mad Vulcan rush, baby.
One caveat: make sure no one is standing near the door when you try this. There I two ensigns who did not show up for duty this morning. I have not seen them. It is unusual for them them to not show up without a note from their moms.
In space, no one hears you scream.
SPock, standing by.
I believe our next run MIGHT just be starting under our very noses.
Fascinating.
Spock, giggling.
I can see you are not shy about sharing your opinions. A learned, well-researched thought-out opinion IS welcomed in these parts, honestly.
I will not challenge the facts as you have presented them. What I will ask of you, though, is if your opinion would differ in any way if you knew that just about all of the 1/2 billion shares you mention have exchanged hands based almost entirely on what those who follow Tivus very, very closely have been able to deduce about the company.
Many of us are long here not because of how the volume has moved or because of this key indicator or that. It is because the things we do know and/or can reasonably figure out about Tivus tells us this is smart play.
Surely you must do something similar yourself when assessing whether or not to take up a position on a particular stock. You look at the big picture, all you can learn, DD,...not just charts.
Maybe this is what needs to be factored in here. It has been quite a long time since the company has seen fit to share much official information, presented as such in an appropriate way. We know, beyond a shadow of doubt that when this behavior begins to exhibit itself, things will be very different around here and there will be few baggers to talk with.
I am TheHappyVulcan. Pleased to meet you.

Nic...just reporting what I saw on Etrade.
Values in these fileds were extremely fluid for a few minutes. I thought I had maybe missed a tweet ..or a toot or a twink..or something.
SOmeone just came in and dropped 15K all at once. Buyback? Maybe someone seeing the last possible moment to average down to a desired point? Space Aliens from Wall Street?
Wait...space aliens? That's me. Oooops. My bad.
Spock out.
Um....What just happened?
The last of the 3s disappeared. Ask went to 4.
Suddenly 52,000,000 shares RE-APPEAR on the ask?
I say again....what just happened?
Maybe I am not as sober as I had thought i was.
um......Spock....uh..........hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Flogman....you are probably correct that it may not take too much time to get that done. What may take MORE time is the triple and quadruple checking you KNOW they will do before releasing the correct financials.
If SP had truly contracted with the PINK to do all the necessary prep work and to post these financials, well, now SP and crew may have to start from scratch doing a job they thought was already done.(OUCHIE)
They may also have to contract with a CPA to help them do it right and do it fast. There will be no 2nd chance here on this. The next release MUST be beyond reproach AND they MUST havre answers for every reasonable question posed. They know this.
As for Canouse, I did send in one email yesterday. It was pretty innocuous, but I did expect some sort of reply, honestly. None was received, however. I checked earlier ths mornig to see if, perhaps, they posted anything on their website acknowledging this event, but there is nothing there about it. So, now I, too, see their true colours. I can tell you I will be staying MIGHTY far away from Canouse's QASP.
In other news, sickbay looks like a Rorschach test gone wild. I thought Mr. Scott smelled bad on the outside. Holie smokie, Jeebs!
Sickbay has a powerful stench. I took 30 ibuprofen and I'm feeling somewhat 'better'.
Spock out.
Stop sign GONE!!!
OH, how I have wanted to see that thing vanish. I never want to see it tied to Tivus again.
I have to say part of me expected it would take more than last night to correct those financials. I would be willing to bet that SP hasn't been to bed yet.
Maybe the otc report graphics don't mean a whole lot, but to many less experiences investors, those graphics are all they would need to see to justify putting their money elsewhere.
Further, IMHO, even if yesterday caused a major shake of the tree it would take but a short time to recapture a new set of buyers or those shares. I think we all know this.
R3, I do support you to a point. This whole endeavor is SP's baby, but t would be the ultimate show of faith in his team I feel..if he would let someone else take the wheel for awhile.
He got where he is by ising his talents as an enginner, a programmer, a technician. This is his strong suit and this is the sort of work he does well and, presumably, enjoys. There are others around him, for sure, whose strong suits are sterring big ships through dicey waters. I would truly hope that ego would not dictate strategy here, but I know it does all the time. Such are the politics of big business.
I am MOST curious to see what happens now that the ask has almost completely evaporated away at triplenaut 3. Buyers are still buying. The dream team took a hit yesterday and they are doing what a dream team is supposed to do, deal with the problem, correct the malfunction, stay the course.
Wind at your backs, boys! Full speed ahead..as they say.
IN the grand scheme, PInkStink Wednesday will be but a bump in the road to global dominance.
Probably the only thing worse than a vomiting Vulkcan is a Vulcan with a nasty - *ss hangover. I must have a word with our first engineer. He, however, is in the sickbay, strapped to a gurney, hurling Gaelic nasties at Dr. McCoy. Big fun for me to watch.
Spock out.
Hi.
You are coming awfully close to saying SP falsified the financials and then posted them. Is it actually your considered opinion that the financials {he} put up this morning were prepared expressly to deceive the shareholders?
Is this what you're saying?
If no, please clarify.
......from A very grateful Vulcan with a hangover.
BTW...I find it fascinating that the market basically has had no reaction to this at all. Tivus continues to keep selling shares regardless. Perhaps others have a better perspective than we.
My plea.....<awful sound from within>..pleasure, markz.
Seems to me that even though SP is CEO, this company is now run by a team..and this is how they see it. They respect SP as the visionary, the technician..but at this point I'd bet the other members of the board, whoever they are, don't just sit around going , "Yes, Shiva, yes."
And since SP has seen fit to put a team around him, he recognizes that he cannot run the show himself and subcontract everything else out. The team, like any, will need to learn, through times like this one, how to problem-solve together. Perhaps, at the moment, they feel the way to handle today is to keep the consistent voice where it has been found ...but the team has put together their response as a team.
If TIVUS is truly 'ready' as we've been told... they should be able to navigate today;s cluster adroitly.
....unlike the way I handle one shot too many of Sorian brandy. When a Vulcan has tummy trouble...oh, baby, it's gross. There is nothing even remotely subtle about it. It;s alot like running over one of those ketchup packets with your cartire. Perhaps Mr. Scott is not the buddy I thought he was awhile ago.
Spo....gotta go
@JWez A Million thanks.
PinkStink didn't do it right? No Kidding? Really?
Huh! <scratches head>
We did not expect much from year end financials but let's hope the Tivus-approved version 2.0 is useful and continues to point in a positive direction.
Here's to it! <raises glass>
Some day we'll all look back on this and curse.
Where is Yeoman Rand? I think I'll have that lap dance now.
Spock out.
Did any Subscribers to Tivus' investors news email get any notification that the financials ha been or were about to be released?
I am a subscriber there and I have received nothing. I would have thought that if I had identified myself as an investor and registered as such at the website that I would have gotten an email about it. [I have emailed TIVUS a couple of times, but get no acknowledgement.]
Also, there is noting on the website about any "NEWS". I would think that it would be newsworthy to mention on the website welcome page Or something like it) that this report was available now.
On the flipside, has anyone noticed that despite how lousy it is that this has happened there appears to have been NO sell-off or market volatility in the stock this far today? I find this interesting.
Silence has never been more deafening. Even something from PinkStink, LLC would be timely, no?
Mr. Scott and I are good buddies now. He looks smaller under this table at which I, alone, am still seated.
Wimp.
Spock out.
Damage Control
Right about NOW would be a great time for SP to step out from behind whatever it is he keeps in front of him to give us news that is at least sufficient to be a proper Yang to the Yin we've been handed this morning.
He knows the sorts of information we need, badly need..and he has the expertise around him to advise how best to do this.
This, whatever 'this' is... is very unfortunate, ill-timed and in my mind somehow 'suspect'. I am having a serious problem just accepting that an oversight of this magnitude has simply 'happened'.
Even my nose is getting a point now. What's next, my teeth?
Shuur, Scotty, I'll have another one of those whatever you call 'ems.
Whoo-boy!!! Wanna watch me mind-meld with your wine cellar?
Before the witch-hunt gets serious traction, can we take a step back and see what comes out that we have NOT learned yet? Obviously something has gone wrong and we don't know anything about why or how.
Believe me when I tell you I am an TheUnhappyVulcan this morning. Mr. Scott is trying to get me drunck and I think I like it. He says he's ready to launch a coupple of photon torpedoes at Omaha.
SpOkc owt.
@RK Thank you. THV
Opinion requested:
Roughly 18 months ago, Tivus traded far higher than it does today. Since those heady days, Tivis has ONLY done things that wold make it both more viable and valuable. Few can really dispute this.
Why is it worth less now, than it was then? Market environment? Lack of financials? Poor communication? What accounts for this reality?
That been asked...one can argue that with new information forthcoming, information that can only stand head and shoulders above information from back then, what should the share price of Tivus be now?
I will finish drawing this birthday card for my mother while you smart people ponder a response.
Spock out.
That is funny. I actually bought USEI for about 30 minutes. It doubled in that time and I bailed. I was so prod of myself.
Bad Spock. Bad Spock.
Thanks, G-DOg. Much appreciated.
@Jwez..... You have been such a straight-shooter all along here. You keep me sane. I appreciate what you are doing. I have a message for you at U-tube when you get a moment.
@Fire.: There are some in these parts who want to be on record as having suspected this company of being a scam, but absolutely everything we have been able to deduce about this company is that it is legit. I won't go into all the reasons but if you take a few moments and review the most recent week's discussion on this board you'll get a very good lay of the land as to how most of us feel about Tivus as an investment.
@Kaiser... You actually ARE a believer, but you maintain a healthy vein of skepticism. If you truly thought you were being scammed, I feel certain you'd be gone, but not before you told all of us "so". I do admire your cautious posture. I could use more of it myself, but everything I can see about this company tells me this is so very much NOT a scam.
OK... my replicator has breakfast ready...I hope. Last night for dinner I programmed in a Philly cheeststeak but got sushi, which the replicator does not replicate very well AT ALL. My quarters still wreak of pseudo-salmon, risky-rice, and sake that could double as brass cleaner.
Spock out.
To TheHal
I do not know you. I have never met you and likely never will, but I care about people. All people. We are all responsible for each other.
In this spirit I would tell you I have never, after having looked very hard, found a good reason to plant my money with this stock. There must be a thousand safer and more worthwhile plays to be made elsewhere.

Respectful disagreement.
JPR, let me be the first to say I am not an industry pro. That said, I have already seen where the sales volume on a given stock exceeds its daily average by up to six times, but the price does not budge. Within a few weeks of witnessing this, I watched another stock ( a company with no goods or services, no employees, no recent financials, no fulfilled promises) increase its value by 20 times in the span of under ten sessions.
As for MarketMakers, my understanding so far is that they have a number of manipulative tricks they do regularly in an attempt to influence price. There are moves an MM can make where it looks they're at the steering wheel when they're not even in the car. They can actually let (use) another MM to hog the spotlight while they actually pull the strings behind the curtain.
If one is not in a position to literally watch their investment almost minute by minute the way daytraders can, then one must rely on the fact that all smoke and mirrors aside, value drives price in the end. Most 'games' appear to be played for short-term results, but real value-based investing relies on the stability over a good length of time.... at least measured in a number of months.
In the engine room I can manipulate the fields of two warp coils to make Mr. Scott smell a fart before he has farted, but in the end (NPI) I must recalibrate the coils to absolute time or else the number of unexpected outcomes increases exponentially per unit interval until we end up arriving at our destination before we have even gotten to our departure point. It can be a real mess.
Transaparent aluminum ain't nothin'.
SPock out.
G'day R3 and fellow Tivunauts.
I am in side-by-side lockstep with you there, R3. We have been teased to death on so many other fronts, it must be that there is a strategy involved here with concealing these financials so long. Must be.
Logic dictates.
I do not currently have L2 access. It will be interesting to see if any of the MMs, CANT included, modify their respective positions. My hope springs eternally , aw well. While we cannot stand to in the dark as we are, I still feel very certain this stock is a great play.
The thing that really cranks my gears in the middle of the night is wondering how many folks will profit-take the minute the next bump comes along and what effect that will have. THere are players here who bought in at very much higher prices and they are in a position to hang on until this stock retrieves its value and they can cash out and move on, but......
...but in their joy of finally being able to get their money out will they see that they may be better off to maintain their positions rather than to cash out? Will I be able to see that maybe I should move on if I need to?
Hmmmm. It all gets my Vulcan bloomer in a wad.
