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.

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.
THV
Why shorted so, so heavily Friday?
There has hardly been any fluctuation of note in TIVU for a couple of weeks but according to shortvolume.com, the stok was heavly shorted Friday.
Fascinating. On a stock this cheap you'd have to move a hefty volume to be making any short moves even worth mustering a yawn for.
I really have to wonder. The next time this erupts (maybe within the next 24 hours?) will VERT or NITE restrict any price fluctuation to a tick or two? I have seen this happen with this and other stocks.
Daily average volume with news increases six to ten times over normal but the price doesn't flinch. What sort of volume would knock MMs off their perch?
Spock to the Vulcan's room.
CANT---About the best anyone may be able to say about their presence here is that it might be interesting. We'll probably never understand if their role here is anything more than smoke and mirrors.
I suppose if one things it will be a bumpy ride up, there may be some seriously phenomenal short plays to be made.
As an aside, the hardest part for me is to see myself staying long. I have learned that in this business, one takes profits when profits present themselves for the taking, yet that could well be penny-wise and pound foolish in this case.
I troll regularly looking for any new fish into this pond but I never see any. Nor do I see any new technological advances which would render the current Tivus method obsolete any time in the near future. Sometimes I feel like Ihave found my own little "Apple" or " Microsoft" with this stock. If they can muster the necessary strength to fight off competition , they may very well win this game.
Photon torpedoes are set for maximum distance and detonation. We know the Borg's weak spot. Standing by.
Science Officer Spock
I believe current financials would help complete part of the equation for uplisting, which would be a welcomed development.
IMVO.
Well that IS interesting. I did not notice that.
I think most of us have a perfunctory understanding that a "pending" application is only that. It DOES afford the applicant a point in time for staking a claim in a concept or invention.
If this is no typo and SP has a patent which has been granted , it is no longer merely pending. All he would have to do id cough up a filing fee and then receive his number for his patent.
Now, this does not mean someone cannot attempt to patent around him, that is, come up with something close, but different enough in the eyes of the patent examiner to justify granting a patent. This can happen. Also, it only covers the US.
You or I could take hs patent to China, put our name on it, and begin the process, but this is very, very expensive and even more time-consuming than in the US.
Going far afield here.
If Tivus now holds patented technology, he can license this all over the Federation. He cab franchise it. It also explains why bigger guns are more interested. With the protection of the US patent in hand, it is less likely to get stolen by someone else and, therefore, more likely to survive in a competitive business climate.
I may just open up a Tivus franchise in the Romulan Empire. It is massive and I have friends there.
Spock out.
Let us ponder....
The new website is up and appears to be functioning very well. I would be eager to learn if anyone has had any technical problems with it. (I suspect it was very thoroughly tested prior to being pushed over to live status.)
The stock is still near its all-time low.
The financials will obviously drive any interested party right to the new site, by design.
The OTC is days away from possibly slamming the company with a caveat emptor/skull & crossbones branding which could take, what, 30 days to get past once it is back up to date on reporting.
A key competitor is in a state of relative turmoil as the market appears to have changed faster than they kept pace ...so now they risk becoming less desirable until they can debut who knows what some time in 2013 to put them back in the game..
Now there is a hint of possible institutional investment in the offing.
Both ears are twitching and convulsing independently of one another and when I coughed a few moments ago, a tribble flew out.
Aside from those darned financials, we need contracts and a patent.... All of which could be presented to the public in a day's time. All may be already in hand. Maybe Tivus...
.....is ready.
SHould anything splendid come to pass as I think it could, Kirk promises to let yeoman Rand give me something called a "lap dance". Presumably, this is something I would like.
SPock ...standing by.
A question for our pros....
What would compel VERT to move at all? Have we missed something
OR
might they know something we wish we knew?
Makes my pointy ears twitch to ponder this.
Spock, with consternation.
Tivus to uplist to QB.
Well, this puts a little lead into my Vulcan pencil. Anyway.. I owe an apology to our own NicPlatoNic. I gave credit for his analysis earlier to Ghost_Dog. My Bad. I am sorry, Nic. I liked the analysis.
I will subject myself to a measured, yet appropriate, amount of mental self-mutilation later today for this error. McCoy offered to do this for me when he heard of the error through my now former friend, Nurse Chapel....b*tch!)
I bet she gets some highly anomalous readings from her tricorder at her next physical. Hmmm. She could even get quarantined aboard the shuttle for a few weeks about 50 km from the Enterprise. Just sayin'.
Spock out.
Greetings fellow Tivunauts!! New Tivus website, NICE!
Sensors indicate one highly plausible reason for SP to wait to issue new financials. After winning yet another battle with the ship's onboard computer, I have been able to peruse--and enjoy- the new Tivus website.
If you just happen to be sitting upon a stack of brand new financials to upload, why not wait at least until you have a splashy and very professional-looking new website to drive all the new potential investors towards? Makes perfect sense to my logical, so-called 'mind'.
The arrival of this website only a few days after the CEO announces he is 'ready' with his team underscores my sense that SP is a guy who demands having them there ducks in a row before he makes any move.
Moving up to QB sounds like a fantastic idea, too. He has been wanting to do it for a long time, he knows how important it is for the prestige of the company and the very last person he wants to let down is himself.
A big thank you to G-Dog for his analysis. Well done. I feel good about all of this. Waiting for these financials is a killer, but this is one of those things that separates weenie investors from seasoned ones. (Weenie is technical Vulcan word which, in english, roughly translates to "WEENIE".)
McCoy was in to the tune of about 2M on TIVU and sold all of it about 6 months ago. He wanted to get in on the ground floor of Facebook. He has been 'grumpy' as of late. I am telling him he should reconsider TIVU. He tells me to be quiet or he'll beam Ferengi DNA into my ear genes. That would suck. ('Suck' is a Vulcan term which roughly translates into providing near zero atmospheric pressure to an enclosed volume of space, said space being physically in proximity to ones own cranial cavity.) My impression is that this has been something to which Dr. McCOy has been wanting to expose me for quite some time.
More later. Planet TiVUS is quaking. Spock out.
Here's the real kick in the shorts as I see it. Still, weeks after breaking other promises regarding financial disclosures, VW still has not posted them. The material he did post is, well, I don't know what, but it is far and away the lousiest 'report' I have seen in a long time and I cant get over that anyone even tries to defend it.
So what will likely happen is at some point, new financials, the ones still outstanding, suddenly appear. VW makes a big noise about being "fully restored to pink status" just like he was last time..and a bunch of folks will get all excited all over again, but in the end, all that will have really happened is VW took all of us on a big lap around on his gerbil wheel. MDGC will be right where it was 6 months ago.

It is my assumption that this BT equipment came with the new install as they were specifically showing off the rack Tivus built for Marriott. I can look into this more, but it did seem like a reasonable assumption given the presentation.

Blonder, philly...
Here is the link for the Blonder Tongue insider trade:
https://www.etrade.wallst.com/v1/stocks/ownership/insiders.asp?symbol=bdr&rsO=new
And as for the philly installation, I have not personally paid a visit yet, but SP did provide soem images for his picasa albums. I downloaded a few to see what equipment was being used and I blew up a few in photoshop so I could see which companies' hardware were used.
Sure enough, besides Netgear which is in mot US homes by now, Blonder Tongue made the line amplifiers being used.
Such a sneaky little Spock am I.
Spock out.
Blonder Tongue Insider trading.
I notice today that a week ago, the director of the company, Blonder Tongue(BDR), whom Tivus has used in the past to supply hardware for the Philly installation, has made a significant purchase of his companie's (LOL) stock.
This is the sort of thing I have been waiting to see. Of course, it may be nothing more than a total coincidence that he made this purchase just a few days ago. But we would be smart to pay attention.
Spock out.
I did post that I find SP to be a spiritually-motivated person.I think this is true. I think it is relevant and probably seriously under-appreciated by many.
I will admit I may be wrong about this, but i don't think that I am.There is a phenomenal energy that comes with being this kind of a leader, but all that is for another website to discuss.
We remain in the right place. We just got here before the right time.
