Post 45072 has the tweet.
I find it significant for a few reasons, typos and grammatical issues notwithstanding.
This 'release' is very personal. It is not made shortly before or roght after the market closes. It does not highlight some specific initiative, effort or result.
SP IS Tivus. He has been working for years to make the right moves, to attract the right people, to makes the right tweaks to make his concept a thing of real value to the intended users.
He has obviously turned the right heads and continues to do so.
But when he says Tivus is ready, he is saying to the world (very publicly)--- this man ,who does not trust people easily--- HE is ready.
Look everyone!! My efforts to bring my own concept to all of you is ready for YOU. This is a very difficult thing for such a person to bring himself to do and he most certainly would NOT tweet anything of the sort without ALL of the ducks being properly lined up to move forward.
The fact that his executive team is assembled and battle-ready is as natural as it is wise. Any big success has at its core, a team of talented, driven, intelligent people. SP feels he now has this. He has known for years what he is up against. Can you even imagine the naysayers? SP doesn't have to. He has been on the receiving end the entire time.
I think it is very clear for all to see why some people are way long on Tivus. The very best IS yet to come.
This is how you want your comp any leader to feel about his company.
Let's rock, kids.
SPock, strapped in, helmet on.
Good Morning, Tivunauts!
Just curious, does anyone on this board notice anything particularly interesting about SP/s tweet last night?
Spock, standing by.
I was awakened from a dream........
...as if 225 shareholders all said at the same time, "We're ready, too!"
What does this mean? My stock ahead is 2 weeks old now. I showed the Tivus chart to my cardiologist and he diagnosed the company with a severe case of ventricular fibrillation.
Somewhere in my deep REM sleep I decided to send only positive energy to SP and to his effort. The negative things I have ever posted are counter-productive. We need to be as positive as SP is or move to other things.
I am going to put a little extra "Feng" in my "Shui". Can't hurt.

P.S. McCOY says he has recorded me "sleep-trading". Anyone ever heard of it?
So, this is what "soon" feels like.
I don't like it very much. I'm going back to bed.

TiVUS. Tomorrow's Entertainment...Delivered........................................
........in the near future.
I actually visited the online store but was unable to complete even a humble battery purchase. There is no way to place anything in a 'basket'.
MAYBE one must register prior to shopping but nowhere is that explicitly stated. So I did what any reasonable Vulcan might do. I emailed and phoned the company. This was earlier this week. I wanted the dubious honor of possbly being the only purson to have ever done anything to generate sale income for MDGC, but no one will return my inquiries so.... oh well.
SO what we have is lots os smoke and mirrors. We have webpages that look at a glance like a web-based business should look, but they have no real function. MDGC's partner 'Imperial" whatever that might be does not even have a website... just a damned fine logo.
What I love most is any site that has page after page of "coming soon". WHAT is coming soon? The sunset?
Even if you were lousy at business but still wanted to be in business legitimately, nothing about MG3 works the way even a poor business man would want it to work.
SO, again, yes there may well be money to be made riding the mysterious waves of pennystock shopping, but there is nothing here to really invest in.
I would again urge anyone still long on this to admit this is just one of those stockpicks that is simply rotten to the core, lick your wounds, take a good inventory of all you learned or should have learned while here and use that to make yourself a better investor.
This may be the country where dreams can come true, but it can also give flesh and bone to vivid nightmares.
Yup, Vulcans do dream.. mostly about vector analysis, subquantum kinetics and interior decorating.
Spock out.
I'm sorry.
thv
That's me crying.
It actually takes more than peeling onions to make a Vulcan weep. I scour the web each day trying to find anything that connects to Tivus but I convinced it is now what the intelligence community refers to as a "Black Op". We might call it Tivus, but the Pentagon surely refers to it as "Operation Vacancy".
The only way we will learn what Tivus is up to is by watching what is going on with its more transparent adversaries. With LNET and Host nosediving into nasty territory I would conclude SP has an internet virus which has been unleashed on them.
I was re-reading some of the statements SP made about the time the Caribbean news was disclosed and thinking to myself that if the claims he is now making about how a company can benefit from having a Tivus installation, then if he has the support to to do it, no sane hotel would consider anything less from anyone else.
Of course, so much needs to be revealed so very badly, I truly cannot help but to think this quietness is all part of the strategy to knock the big guys off their pedestals. If the bombshell about to be dropped are well timed and of sufficient power, the big kids will have no choice but to find themselves even more on the defensive than they are now.
Seeing Tivus emerge imminently with some deep roots anchored in a few beefy contracts, some great positive testimonials and maybe a nice mobile ap to go along might be all it takes to establish T. as the Borg of the hospitality industry interactive media. (perhaps they could institute a program of traveler benefits--such as "frequent viewer miles" where so many hours spent in a Tivus-enabled room converts to discounts at Tivus-enabled Hotels or discounts from Tivus advertisers.
Of course, in a couple of hundred years, money will be out of style and Tivus will have to adapt, but I have no problem with Tivus getting its own subspace frequency and being available aboard all Federation craft.
SPock out.....way out.
I am no Arbiter.
I think any reasonable person can read the information from this and other forums, read archived versions of the website as well as the available financial 'reports', such as they are, and agree that this is an absolutely awful example of a 'business'.
The only question remaining, imho, is whether or not an investor can make a profit in the common stock. Obviously the answer,sadly, is yes. I have been watching others do it while I pursue other opportunities. Don't get caught up in the arguments, just answer the only question that not matters: Can you make a dime or, on a deeper level, is this the sort of investment with which you want to be in any way associated.
For me; no. Maybe I'm just altruistic or maybe I can't get it out of my head that some people have likely spent money they really never had to buy in to this and they won't be able to recover and there is NO way I can support that on any level. Maybe some kid who was looking forward to being a college freshman next fall isn't going to be now because mom or dad bought into a 'company' called MediaG3 based on really bad information.
I will gladly go on record as saying I would eagerly support any effort that halts trading on this. It is one thing to raise capital for an incubating company by selling stock. That is not what MDGC is all about. This is clearly about selling lies for a profit. Come on, not the company is years old and still has no income, no employees , lies regularly to get out of hot water and has no plans to do any r&d. This is not what developing companies look like.
Is it?
No company Mr. Westerga(a)rd can ever concoct should ever be allowed to issue common stock anywhere ever again.
thv
Apology to JPR, I am sure Mr. Scott has something to do with me seeming less than Vulcan, however, I think my take on the subject is not unsound.
As hard as SP is working to plunge some deep roots into this industry without causing too much of a fuss, if anyone with deep enough pockets had the right urge to make Tivus a complete non-issue, they could still do it, though they are starting to run out of time.
It has not been lost on this crew that Truck is the sort of industry leader who could have been a well-placed smart bomb, but there are other ways to sink a ship without attaching your name to the dirty deed and I am sure a man like Truck would not want such an association.
LNET may even have a decent plan, but I know nothing of the politics within that company. It may be exactly the sort of environment right now that makes everyone's sphincters pucker in contempt. SP's Tivus, on the other hand, is a small operation, few people, lots of energy and a great service to offer anyone who gets involved with it.Might take a good bit of doing to get in on the map proper, but well worth the effort.
Ya, it's taking longer and ya we need a little lovin' from SP
(dammit, what has Scottie done?), but I am unshaken.
Spock to the playground. I call the cargo net!! Na Na Na boo boo.
I am sure this is a gross oversimplification on my part, but Tivus is a tiny fish in a somewhat small pond occupied by several very much larger fish, a couple of whom are mighty hungry.
SP needs to do his work from the shadows and under the dark overhangs where big fishies either don't want to go or cannot go. If her were to swim up to the warm, sunny water just yet, he could become but a memory in the blink of an eye.
For us shareholders, this s*cks so badly, but the truth is the minute any one of us wants to fold and move on, someone will move in to acquire our scraps.
I have learned from a quite unrelated industry that if you act like a big fish, you are often perceived as such whether it is true or not. It makes sense to me that delays, low share price, lack of news make many perceive him as a fish that is smaller than he truly is right now. In the meantime, he is learning how to do the bigfish dance so that when circumstance forces his hand he can survive in the warm, sunny water.
I am fairly certain Mr. Scott has 'tweaked" my replicator again. I feel "funny".
Spockie-boy way out there.
If NITE is still here at 11:00, then this can close today at no higher than triplenaught 6.
Yet another beautiful run about to be killed in the starting gate by the pinkies' best friend, NITE. Te minute you see them anywhere near your investment, bug out. They are trendkillers and stat- swindlers.

Spock to engine room, Mr. Scot, are you ready?
NEGATIVE, Dog.
Ya would not have recognized it as an emails address. My intention was simply to plant it there until I wanted to use it someday, but since it had to hang out there in the open I did not want it to be too identifiable. You're a more clever sort so I am sure you'll find it right around those conversations we were having mid April about predicting price changes and such. Hoo knows? But if you get the domain right, I'll be impressed enough.That'll be a bit harder, though is is common enough.
Spock to the holodeck for a "far-biere" or three.
DOg, I do easily recall this post. I have made less headway since then tahn I had hoped, however, I think the answer here is complicated. There is no doubt that despite the ease of modern communications, there are some who are just more comfortable with "old school" ways of doing things.
There is no doubt in my mind that strange lot sizes, timings of transactions and such are clear indicators of instructions and intentions being sent back and forth. My success rate of predicting changes in TIVU share price is about 85%. Less clear is in which direction the price will move.
I am sure that some "transactions" are not transactions at all. We all see tiny lots moving which are barely worth the price of a Happy Meal on stocks like these. We all equally watch stocks that drop premarket almost every day , when the 10:00 bell sounds, everything is back to normal until 3:55 when a price that has NOT budges all day long suddenly dips for mere seconds, then returns to 'baseline".
In fact, many of us heard blatant share supporting of Facebook by underwriters. If it had not happened, FB may well have fallen quite a bit more sharply and that would have been sensationally embarrassing for a few.
Dog, I have sent you most of my email address in a previous post because I do not have a paid account yet...and we should communicate more. I am trying to learn what information sources are of best value on stocks like these. I will tell you soon enough which post to go to to find it.
I want to go on record as saying if I believed the market was completely driven by demand, I wouldn't be searching so hard for
other sources of good information. I would just learn market trends only. But I have seen way more than enough evidence of questionable manipulation that I think getting a fair shake in an environment such as this is not very likely. I am not cynical, just pragmatic.
And as for partying::: Sure, I have a box full of hats,masks whistles, kazoos and related paraphernalia. I even have a Darth Vader costume. My best though is my Lando. I am a Vulcan sex god.

JPR, I apologise. I do not know this Kyle Bush of whom you speak. Nascar was replaced by Spacecar in 2066. I just assumed most of y'all knew this and were probably Spacecar fans like me.
Nearly everyone on board dedicates on afternoon on the weekends for watching Spacecar events and drinking what we call "far-biere". I endorse that, too, but I'll refrain from doing any ads on this website.(Kicks my Vulcan fanny right into the middle of next star date if I'm not careful.)
Spock out.
Possible Explanations
I have seen similar episodes like this play out on another stock recently. A 'pro' explained to me that this is the sort of thing you can expect when either non-insiders very close to the company expect positive news and wish to cash in on it OR there is an investment group (something we might consider forming one day) moving in as part of an attempt to manipulate the price by slinging around some larger (AND AFORDABLE) volumes which appear to be quality product but are grossly undervalued.
We know this may also be someone who is being compensated by TiVus for something by using stock instead of cash and that should show up sooner or later with the appropriate SEC form attached to it in public news outlets.
There may well be other explanations, as well.
Di-lithium can under-perform when in a wormhole or in an intense magnetic field as is found around most black holes. To counter this effect, we use STP Super-neutrino kappa-bonding icoso-dodeco-hedral UN,UN-pentium.... The ONLY isotope of element 115 clinically PROVEN to significanltly reduce the effects mag-field sludging in Federation starships.
This has been a paid endorsement.

Greetings, Tivunauts! The morning bell brought nothing to the table for us to chew upon. Bummer. I thought for a second to take a look at the bigger picture to see is anything could be gleaned form that.
Here is what I see:
Host Hostels (HST) is in the middle of a bloodbath.
Lodgenet (LNET) is in a different bloodbath.
Blonder Tongue (BDR) -supplies hardware to Tivus- is in the middle of a blood bath.
All three of these industry-related companies have experienced recent, catastrophic devaluations of the share values. In order to determine if this is all just a big coincidence or if there is a single related factor will require some investigation. I welcome anyone's input here.
The silence from within Tivus is deafening. Mt Vulcan gut tells me nothing evil is afoot. We are all on the receiving end of SPs
"cautionicus extremus" which prevents him from sharing joy.This condition is a secondary side-effect to the more serious "cautionicus cauticum" known in english as "cautiously cautious".) Chekov could actually benefit from being mildly so afflicted.
Bridge.
My pleasure.
My 'long position":
Though I have no recent data upon which to hang mein hoot, every single timw someone comes on this forum to report what they have experiences while talking with SP, they come away with a positive bent . Every single time. For a guy who is under the sort of pressure SP is under, I find this most impressive.
I see a ceo who does take calls and who appears to be working extremely hard to advance his service. he is obviously attracting quality people and he is offering a quality product..which, by the way, he is improving so that no middleware will have trouble with it.
The moves I have been allowed to scrutinize in any way shows the work of a thinking man who wants his company to be formidable. I have first hand experience trying to launch a company and I know the hardships he endures.
As long as i ma regularly re-assured that he is working the ropes and attracting mre quality people, I am in. I hate not getting financials, but I think I understand why this is even if I don't like it.
When I have successes in other areas, I take some of that capital and acquire more TIVU. I see so reason right now to think this is going to tank. TIVU, in my view, is a well-primed tinderbox waiting for a humble spark and at that point, when fire starts, I don 't know if even the MMs will be able to squelch it.
SP appears to be a spiritually guided man of integrity. This speaks volumes to me, and I like what it is saying.
Gotta go to my mani-pedi.
Spock to coiffures quarters.
Even among misfits, we're misfits.
Once again, sure as the Dow falls, a poor little stock called TIVU is overlooked by the investment world while value is distributed to pump & dumps and other scams. The way we are ignored , one would think we are the island from which all skulls and crossbones originate.
Yet, a small band of hardy, tireless and ever hopeful gambl, uh.... investors try to no avail to create a map of the Earth as they sit upon the shore of a small island near the Bering Straits. Using only a beatup compass, some old bearskins and a clump of hair from a long-dead, but fabled Eskimo with legendary powers, these vigilant souls try to deduce what goes on in the world with their investment.
How can the internet be so full of googlenuggets of every conceivable kind, yet it seems even a military blackops veteran would be hardpressed to tell them if the famed Shiva of Prakash is a real person.

Good Night, MediaG3.
It appears you are quietly returning to the land of triplenaught "X".... from which you once came. You have surely swallowed a few hapless victims in your wake. May you slip quietly into the history of forgettable things, never to return.
Do I 'like' to party?
If you are referring to that social activity where one consumes psychotropic snacks, mood-altering malts or genetically enhanced, Ferengiphilic fingerfoods embellished with giggle-inducing pharmaco-fibrous molecules all served by pun-launching, scantilly-clad R2 units....then I would say, 'perhaps'.
Much depends on being 'regular'.
A"stopped-up Spock" is a most unhappy Spock. (There IS a seldom-used, somewhat risky procedure to alleviate blockages using the transporter, but the slightest miscalculation can have disastrous consequences. Capt. Pike's famous story is a cover story. He actually had a disaster of the the variety I allude to here, but you did not hear this from me.)
This discussion may be better fodder for another time, but I am not unwilling to dialog about it.

Please refrain. I do not know what a "lawn" is, but I am familiar with a variety of chairs. I do not want to Spock you, at least until I understand why you want to sue your lawn chair in this manner--which, by the way, is likely not a recommended use per the manufacturer and may invalidate your warranty.
Live Long and ...have a seat.
Good Friday, Tivonauts. I doubt we hear anything today only because I notice that of the last 5 or 6 pieces of news Tivus has released for the public since the beginning of the year, the tend to occur at the opening of the market. Just seems to be SP's way.
Oh, but how I would love to be wrong. I had read a post either on this forum or another one that the cost of hiring a firm to manage your news releases was expensive. What undoea me is that SP will speak with a shareholder on the phone for sometimes a very nice little chunk of time, yet the about of time to make a simple tweet or post would be but a tiny fraction of this and would have such a positive impact I don't quite understand how he rationalizes playing everything so close to the vest.
Now, at this point, hard financial and strategic information to the shareholders is severely overdue. Once that is up to speed, even weekly microblasts of information delivered in a candid, informal way to the shareholders would completely change the relationship he has.
He is too smart of a guy not to know this so I have to conclude there is some compelling reason for him to be stealthy right now.
Even I chat sometimes, but I am not very good at it. Usually my audience terminates our dialog looking as though they wish to strike me with a blunt object. It's OK, though. I can "Spock" them and make them fall to the ground.
Bridge.
It is my esteemed opinion that When Tivus unleashes its barrage, its purpose will be to divide and to completely put the competitors on the defensive. They won't know which way to turn and they may injure each other scrambling to react to the new kid on the block with the big gun.
Spock out.
Without getting too wordy for the moment, my thought has to do with a MM having the responsibility to literally make the market, to be the buyer when no other buyer is presentin the marketplace. That is combined with the other job of an MM to service their own accounts for their own clients. It must be dicey water to navigate from time to time.
See what I'm getting at? I could 1000% wrong, though.

You're doing something right when you can make a Vulcan laugh, jwez.

OK, I am going to play a Vulcan First grader and somene wll maybe explain to me why, if the market wants to drive this price higher, does NITE want it to stay about where it is? (I have an idea in my head as to a possible answer, but many here are faar more experienced than am I.

@colemano: The scientist to whom I referred is Dr. "Pete" Peterson.
To inquiring minds: I actually was attracted to MDGC becuase of an alleged association between the company and a known blackops scientist who had some proprietary hardware related to wifi. It appeared as though the scientist either had no association at all, or learned quickly that MG3 was not what he was led to believe it was and he departed.
As he departed so did I. The stock had barely shown signs of life at that point so I lost (and gained) nothing.
I have no problem with well-adjusted people gambling. Fine, but when something looks very wrong and those driving the ship make no effort to correct anything, then someing IS (not 'looks') wrong.
Just as I would block traffic ahead of a known dangerous defect in a road so that I could warn oncoming traffic of peril, I come here to warn potential investors of the peril of driving down the MG3 highway. It is a bad road and only a few lucky ones can ever expect to make it through unscathed.
There are certain Klingon ships I might not notice passing by, but only a few.

It would appear as thought the ONLY way this 'investment' makes any sense is if youre in a position to sell short or you are fully prepared to let your money sit idly for extended periods of time waiting for a repeat of what happened recently here where the stock inexplicably bounced .
As far as i can tell, no reason for this bounce has ever materialized.
And for those of you waiting for financials, certainly you MUST understand by now that the CEO might be waiting for something of financial significance to occur so that he can report it. If a day goes by with no development, then the release of the financials will likely be postponed repeatedly until something does occur.

@blahdude: I (we) truly appreciate your information. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort. I seriously thought that once the middleware was running smoothly that would be the beacon to the rest of us that we are marching forward in a publicly observable way, that is, everyone wold now understand the power of what Tivus is and the flood gates would crack open.
Sounds like we're in for a few more Friday afternoons of quietness, patience,longing and despair.

I think that for me, the hardest thing will be to STAY long after this breaks open. Like most investors , I have learned that profits can be very hard to come by, so you take 'em when they show up. My expectation is that this is definitely one of those stocks that could really be worth holding a position in for years...so liquidating will be a difficult urge to fight...like that 7 year mating itch we Vulcans get.
The more I learn about Tivus and how relevant people are reacting to it makes it clear to me Tivus could be to Lnet what Google was to alta vista (my fave search engine before yoohoo.)
Of course, I don't expect the same kinds of numbers, but you get the general idea.
Before the Federation we had Nasa or what was left of it. We could boldly go where olde satellites got lost.(Man, hit one of those things doing warp factor 3 . It cuts a smooth, clean hole right through your entire ship sucking out 20 percent of your crew right along with it.)
We still have problems since Galactic GPS is still working out some time dilation bugs. Imagine flying into a black hole. When you come out the other side, your aunt is your half-brother twice removed, your family is 8 billion years old , you haven't been born yet, but you weigh 6.8 kilotonnes per tesseractic millimeter, and all your DNA can do is make goo.
