I am not going to panic, at least not yet. SP did say we'd be spending dough on the India contract to get that ball rolling, We know that even though we have cash coming in, we don't know how much or how quickly. Further he also did day that the situation in Puerto Rico was moving forward...we may have to be spending some coin there as well to keep everything on track.
So while the shock of seeing a dump that big is curious, we owe it to ourselves to keep in mind we have contracts to honor. I'd much rather see that than to see Tivus get a bad rep in the industry just as it is starting to make real headway. This all may be little more than a bridge loan to get Tivus from point B to point C. We don't know. I do NOT for a second believe it is a sign of trouble.
Now, where are my sedatives?
SPock to sick bay...then happy hour ... a bit later.
My most intelligent speculation is that we just purchased , as mentioned in a recent PR, equipment to install Tivus in 10 hotels in India, OR we just paid a massive insurance policy premium for the Board.... or it's a typo.
Spock ...<twiddling nervously with dials, knobs, keyboards and mice.>
What just happened? 500 M shares? This like getting beamed into a nuclear reactor core. I don't think I have ever seen anything like this.
Beam me up right not, Mr. Scott.
Spock ou.........
To the Tivus crew: Kick back this weekend. Enjoy a fine scotch, a well-made cigar, some tender, nicely - grilled meats, some pleasant sun and a couple of cool, moonlit nights. Refresh yourselves. Have some laughs. On Tuesday, rock our world. We're ready. Tivus is ready. Show us what you're really made of.
Boldly go where Tivus has never gone before. Make us proud.
Spock.....swinging in a hammock.
Nobody can tell how thin it really is anymore. After weeks of countless millions of cheap shares showing up the minute 2s are sold one is left to conclude that the number of additional cheap shares could reach into the.....billions.
Is this a setup for a perfect storm? NOAA Weather Radio remains unclear.
No doubt equipment and personnel are being secured to fulfill the India installations....as well as any other installations whose announcement are still pending. Ya gotta spend money to make it, no? And now that the board is appropriately and properly insured, there is every expectation that they'll hit the ground running if they're not already.
Tried my hand at barbeque-ing (sp?) on the holodeck. All the damn smoke detectors and sprinklers went off. I thought it was supposed to be a rather smoky sort of thing to do. I didn't have any chicken so I thawed out some bundles of what I thought was frozen brisket in the galley freezer. Well it wasn't brisket. Whatever it was, it was NOT SUPPOSED to be in the ship's freezer.
Whatever it was, it was in hibernation, not preservation. It came to life at about 450 degrees F....and man was it NOT HAPPY with ME. Before it could catch me and then banged an escape route out the side of the ship (into free space)...I ran the program backwards about 20 minutes too far. That's another whole episode by itself.
Suffice it to say, my grilling days are done for the time being. McCOy is asphyxiating laughing so hard. And some still unknown yeoman has some explaining to do regarding his creative, yet unsanctioned, use of ship's kitchen resources.
Spock .... off duty, in quarters...not taking any calls right now.
Shiva Prakash is NOT a con man.
He is NOT a fraud.
He is NOT a crook.
He is not using Tivus as his own personal ATM with unlimited funds.
Tivus is NOT a ponzi scheme
Tivus is a NOT a shell game.
For those of you who have an emotional need to comment to the contrary on a regular basis, of course you have the right to do as much. Most of us attribute this behavior to your frustration and we do our best to keep quiet and to let you have your way. (Resistance is futile.)
I would ask that you clarify something for those of us who disagree with you. Since it is now well established that SP is running an honest company which is producing results...what effect do you feel your constant baseless bashing will do for any potential investors coming by to check out Tivus? (I say "baseless" because as of right now, that is precisely what it is and has always been. )
Can we expect that unless you are 100% satisfied that everything is going to your liking that you will continue to assert that SP is a crook along with his crooked little company?
Just venting.
Vulcans vent. It is usually a gaseous emission not unlike some posters on this board, but usually we don't waste verbage on it. Today, though, my need to cyber-fart is greater than usual. Forgive me.
Spock....with intestinal urgency.
Numbers don't lie... Someone on this board once said. Well, the call that only x million 2s re left before we print 3s just keeps goin' round and round. Numbers do lie. Yup, they do.
An "ask" con. Hmmmm. haven't heart of that before. Interesting, but not what is prolly happening here, though. i just don'e see this carrying on for weeks on end the way it has as all of the AONs getting finally flushed out. Again, it s like a 2-dispenser. Every time we about run out, a bunch of 1s get transacted and suddenly there are a bunch of new 2s to chew up...which inevitably seem to et chewed up no matter what.
Whatever is going on is a great object lesson in something. Just not sure what yet. Regardless, Tivus is growing. No denying that.
It's almost as if the MMs have their own....replicators!?!?!?
In space...no one can hear you scream.
SPock....mindmelding with my palm pilot. (..hate that term, "palm pilot". seems sort of...suggestive.)
Greetings, Tivunauts. Congrats to Tivus and all the longs here.
Had to laugh when someone here asked, "where is all the buying?" There has been nothing but buying going on here for several weeks now, People have quietly been loading and loading. The buzzkill here has been that every single time we see that the 2s are gone, lo, and behold---- 30 million more appear as if from an automated dispenser. It frustrates even the coldest Vulcan.
As for today... we must recall our recent lesson in Tivus-speak. Details expected by most are not immediately forthcoming. This is one of those niggly little things that SP needs to resolve and the sooner the better. How to balance the informational needs of the investors against the stealth required by the competitive marketplace. Not an easy walk to walk..especially as SP pointed out.. when some of your employees leave you to try and replicate your model to knock you out of the very marketplace you created.
Better perspective though is that SP can now tell other perspective clients that the waiting list for Tivus technology is growing so get in sooner or wait.
No matter how one slices this--even folks who would slice this into a pile of useless confetti, it is very positive news and it vindicates many here.
All of us now know all too well those who won't be happy unless they , themselves, are running Tivus..but they'll always be here and ..from time to time.. they do make good points. In the meantime I do enjoy being able to add to my holdings at lower prices but I know darned well my days (hours, even) nay be well numbered for getting away with that. Like many here I am in the "8 digit club" for holdings and I doubt I'll ever be able to exceed this..but I hope everyone who has been wanting to get more shares can do so sooner rather than later for with each passing week it becomes more obvious that the bargain prices have about run their course.
In the year 2211 Lnet does still exist, but they are in the business of running the equivalent of motor-home parks in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Te do make some profit doing this. I only mention it for its trivia value.
Spock out.
Ya....LOL..0.0002 Lol , ya, whatever. Weeeeeeeee.
I was about to post something very sarcastic, but I stopped myself. After having listened to the CC again I remain as pumped as ever. Tivus is growing. It is making the right moves with quality people I am sure of it. All I have to do is sit back and let it percolate right along. Nice. Resistance is futile.
Maybe when SP announces that it is buying out Apple, others will start to sit up and take note.
Ooops. I did it anyway. darn.
The sarcasm thing is fun and easy. Now I see why humans like it as much as they do.
Spock....playing 3D chess, out.
Yep! Warm & fuzzy. 0.0001 What...ever.
Vulcan here.
Just wanted to say that I peronally feel excited for everyone who has found it within themselves to be patient throught the inevitable growing pains of a young, innovative company. Sure, we shall continue to be tried from time to time, but it seems clear to me now that Tivus is going somewhere.
It is attracting quality people. Trump says ,"Excellence attracts excellence." I think we'll continue to see that here as time moves on. I would like to see PRs that are more detailed and I woud like to see that when Tivus discloses something, that when a question is begged, it is addressed in the PR and that shareholders don't go through 2-3 days of speculation before clarity is brought.
Anyway, most of you now see why I was speaking in such positive tones after the CC. Tivus is real, it s good, it is growing and I feel very strongly that this is one of those situations where patience will pay off handsomely.
I hope everyone has a grand weekend and I look forward to being a part of the future of this company.
After my mani-pedi this afternoon on the vanity deck, I am going to have an AWESOME 6-pak spraypainted into my tan and go lounge around on the holideck. Admittedly, I don't fill my speedo out so well, but I will look wonderful in my shades as I lounge in my chaise with an adult beverage....smiling the smile of a man who has a four digit IQ and knows how to use it.
Spock out.
.0001 Whatever.. ya.
Ya. .0001. Whatever. Like it matters.
SPock out.
Rick...now that we are all starting to understand what I will call "Tivus-speak", I will agree there are probably at least 4 hotels currently in various stages of installation, possibly more.
IF (lol) the board gets populated by more industry experts, the sorts of folks who are known for their expertise in their related fields, I would say this number would triple next year, at least....if I may hazard a guess.
If Vulcans are eligible for certain positions, I might just apply myself. Kidding. Kirk would kill me.
SPock out.
JPR...VERY, Very well-said.
And since there has never really been any proof of any kind of wrong-doing on SP's part., not once, ever can we finally put to rest the charges of fraud and impropriety?
PLease?
Let's imagine, for a moment, that the team..to whom he now defers, is a knowledgeable and experienced team. New? Yes. Learning their ways to work with each other? Sure.
Can enough of us understand the information contained within the news release that is not written out explicitly to get a feel for what is under way behind the scenes?
My bet is that every single person on this board is at least smart enough to accomplish this.
I need more copper in my blood. I am feeling cranky. I'm gonna go "spock" someone just to blow off a little steam.
SPock out.
R3 Got one email. Found it in the spam inbox..probably because of the corrut domain name...which you fixed. i will contact you back shortly. Thanks.
Vulcan
"J" Not sure to what you are referring. I do not want to come across as delivering any info that is contradictory or unsubstantiated. I do recall SP specifically saying that he was excited (that was the word I think he used) to say that he could now announce that an installation in India was now well under way.
I do NOt recall him saying what the contract amount was for or for how many rooms the installation was.
If you'd like to have a dialog with me off IHUB about this I can give you an email address.
When he disclosed this I remember feeling quite excited about it since India is a huge country with a tech-savvy population and it is growing all the time. It was exactly this sort of news I was expecting him to PR about yesterday.Perhaps on the website more of the details will be spelled out.
SPock ...standing by.
Ok, then..... I think what might not be clear here is that..another installation is well underway. In India.
Spock out.
I just checked my Inbox....No reply, yet.
Foo.
Spock...out.
Just to clarify: this is the 2011 CC, not yesterday's CC.
SPock...sleeping.
PM75... It is probably my fault that you are frustrated right now. I am the one who mentioned a forthcoming PR in terms of recalling that SP had said one would come today ...or so I thought.I apologize.Perhaps I am mistaken about this. Hopefully the PPS stays down here until all have a chance to hear and assess the news for themselves.
I have sent SP and email to see if he can clarify for us when this PR will occur.
SPOCK ERROR ----terminate faulty unit!!!
KS,,the PPS absolutely does lie...all the time. You know it does. Not picking a fight, just sayin'.
Spock...dropped some glue on my tribble. Oopsy-diasy.
R3 You on excoboard? You are a shareholder, right?
vulcan
PS...I 'Thought" I understood that one big thing SP revealed would be made public today. In all truth there were several times when the audio was interrupted by callers leaving their speakerphones open...and some information may not have translated across that, but this sort of thing only happened a few times.
SP was completely at the ready to take on any naysayers right out of the gate. He opened up the floor to anyone. There were no takers. Not one. After half an hour of questions SP offered one more time for anyone with a gripe to come forward. No takers.
R3, I know you are a skeptic, or at the very least a realist. I do feel very much that you would've liked all that got disclosed yesterday. This is one reason why I am so positive on Tivus today. In the past I had placed alot of faith in Jwez. I have not been let down. Things are considerably better than one can glean from the "public at large" perspective.
I expect I will continue to pile on as much stock as I can afford to over time, but I know that my days of being able to grab prices like these are very numbered.
Spock.............wallpapering my foyer.
@DDiver I'll say it once. You are wrong. Anyone who now thinks Tivus is a con game should just go play in someone else's yard now.It is a real company with real customers, real employees and real sacrifice having been made by those who know what they're doing. Bank on it.
On the other hand, if you really enjoy spending your time the way you spend it here, I am sorry. I know all about the vacuum-cleaner salesman. There is no comparison whatsoever to what is going on here.
What I sincerely hope for you is that as you take a good hard look at all of the facts as we go through, say the next month or so,that you come to a similar conclusion to the one I have come to.
Tivus is real, it is happening and all one need to is stake a position and ride the ride.
Spock.......reading a good book.
@Rick It's that nasty D word. Again, based on the state of things now I don't really care if Tivus dilutes the entire 6B to keep things running. That being said, more conventional financing options are going to open up. The good news is that we aren't going to have to wait a freakin' year for that to be the case. You'll see what I mean soon enough I am certain of it.
Spock....feeding my fish.
@King If you could be more specific, I may be able to address it.
SPock...out
@Pianoman My Confidence is extremely high.
My order is in and I am awaiting confirmation later this AM that the transaction is complete. SP has listened very well to his advisors and he has put together a team that makes perfect sense, further, based on the CC information--I even said this last night-- I am extremely long on Tivus now.
You may recall that Tivus put itself on "pause" earlier this year.
The reason is this...(not part of CC) Tivis' technology does not just apply to the hospitality industry. It is applicable to any industry where groups of people of any size can be the targets of an advertizing campaign. Think about that for a few minutes.
This meant that Tivus---if it wanted to have a shot at capitalizing on this fact-- would have to revise its gameplan.
This is what Tivus has been doing. Of course, the hospitality industry is the core concern and their primary focus remains there as it should... but they are not going to allow anyone to come in and grab any part of a new market which they-single-handedly- are creating.
When you hear of a young growing company and what it should be looking like if it is to be successful, Tivus is now IT in my book.
Kirk didn't hear the CC and he keeps promising me stuff if I spill. I am just telling him to buy as much as he is comfortable buying. I think he is going to have the shipboard computer remove the atmosphere from my quarters pretty soon, though....if I don't talk.
Spock out.
Spock...hailing tivunauts. Greetings.
My expectation--based on what I recall SP saying--was that he would make a PR today. I am noy spilling beans becuase I understand and agree with the terms and conditions of participating in the CC yesterday. No fear...simply honoring my part of the deal.
There are still plenty of folks out there who are skeptical. I understand it. I admit myself that from time to time my faith waned badly. After what I heard yesterday, though, I am onboard for a long haul for sure. SP has serious key components in position and he has good explanations for things we've been curious about.
Tivus is going to rock very hard, perhaps as early as 10:00 am EDT today. I kmow there will be flippers. Godspeed to all of them.
Tivus IS ready.
Spock...to the party room.
Joshuri....Jsteel cooked his own goose.I am sure he'll be back. Ihub violations.
As for Tivus and what you should know..... I am a rule-follower here and the terms of the CC were that the information given was in confidence. I would honor this as I would a request from you to honor a confidence between you and I. I do think at some point, salient parts of the CC will be on the shareholder part of the website.
As for specifics... I think it is safe to say that SP understands that IF he wants Tivus to be taken seriously by anyone who could help Tivus, he has to play by big-boy rules. He has to file all financials on time, he has to insure his board, he has to prove his company can deliver ALL it promises. He has no time for people who want to write things just to piss him or his staff off or otherwise get in the way of them bringing Tivus to its highest and best use.
Tivus is starting something new and basically anyone who wants to try and beat him at a game he invented is welcomed to try, but unless they have very, very deep pockets and a lot of great connections, he's will win. Tivus is posturing itself to be a major player in a service we're all accustomed to, but he is doing it on such a much higher level and of such a wider scope that there is now no real doubt that it is becoming a game - changer.
Invest now, keep your ears open and the details will surely find their way to you. Tivus is a good thing.I am glad I attended the CC. There is no stopping Tivus now. It's on its way.
SPock out.
Here's to flying pigs.
SPock out.
I am adding.
No doubt.
SPock....staring at clock...waiting for next session.
I believe I understood SP to say that the big announcement will be made public before market tomorrow. Of course, I can't talk about it publicly....but along with everything else he had to say I am thrilled.
We did not get PUNKED.
If folks don't like SP personally they'd better find a way to evolve or move on. At this point I would not be at all surprised if in 3-5 years Tivus had as much name recognition as Tivo, Netflix or Verizon. It sounds like there is a very real possibility that a moment can come where things are quite literally moving faster than anyone at Tivus can even figure out how to manage.
Gosh.
SPock.... giggling into the Sorian brandy.
I KNOW I'll be purchasing more at opening of market in the morning and every chance thereafter. This cannot help but go well beyond pennies eventually. I am so stoked , the points on my ears are gone!!!!! Feels kinda funny.
Call me a pushover or whatever you want.... i am so freakin' long on tivus now,
i don't know if I would ever sell. I am listening to ceo speak.
I don't care if he dilutes the whole 6B if he needs it.
JWEZ is right.
Pigs fly.
Spock out.
My logic circuits are all in a wad. Why, one might ask?
1.) Millions of shares have been moving through without the slightest budge in price for days on end.
2.)There has been no PR of any kind.
3.) The conference call imposes an unenforceable gag on attendees.
4. ) The CC occurs after the close of market.
5.) by the open of market tomorrow much information will have changed hands several times and my guess is that the immediate course of Tivus' actions will still not make clear what the immediate future holds.... thereby causing a state of confusion in the marketplace which...as we all know... does not bode well for PPS.
6.) IF tomorrow brings a PR at any time which in any way impacts the information shared among the CC attendees in any negative way...the world will end.
As I stated before, someone is going to yell "PUNKED" just in time for the worst damage to have already occurred. I have somehow managed to talk myself into being supportive these past many months despite how poorly my investment here has gone... but my resiliency has been all used up. If I find myself at 4:15 pm Wednesday weeping quietly into my Sorian brandy that Mr. Scott gave me becuase of how the previous 24 hours panned out I may have to leave the Federation, along with Tivulution, and go back to being a fungus farmer on Vulcan.( "Fuzz-farmers" on Vulcan make a humble, but steady, living with little stress.)
I need more fiber in my diet.
Spock out.
Thank you, Mighty Gooroo. Now I have some understanding. So, people who were fortunate enough to get in on the triplenaught-1s are doubling their money, likely.
SPock out.
TIvusBoard Timeout LOVE IT!!!
What a great idea.
Now, If I could just understand why my etrade page keeps showing (as it has for the last 3 sessions)that there are only 5000 shares left at .0002 , many millions sold way above those 5000 shares, but no change in price, I would feel like my miond has not been turned off completely...because... I DON'T UNDERSTAND what is HAPPENING here.
After all, I am only a mere spock of dust in a huge universe.
SOmebody help me understand... I beg you... or is this just the will of Landrew?
Peace and Contentment be unto you, my brothers.
Peace and Contentment.
Sometimes it just feels like Tivus is punishing us for being shareholders at all. Some opportunities to enhance the value of our investment have passed by without being exploited. I see less than a million on the ask all day long, millions of shares get purchased yet the price does not change. Restricting the number of outstanding shares definitely has an effect on the supply/demand equation so when all 3 BILLION shares are finally sold, the number gets doubled? Really?
6 Billion shares. We'll never be able to cap. 6 billion shares for a long, long time.
I just want to do the human thing and cry. SP says that Tivus is strong, yet won't let us see what evidence he has to support it.
Now, as for this CC where the information disseminated is confidential... of course, I will honor this stipulation. But SP must know that someone(s) will probably not be so inclined. That being said, how candid can he really be tomorrow? At this point I'd almost rather sign an NDA.
How can we ignore the fact that the CC happens after the market closes?
I am just"venting". I do not expect anyone to respond. I am simply frustrated and I need to blow off a little bit of steam is all.
I'll still probably be here when pigs fly.
I waited 7 years to find a new mate on Vulcan. When I finally found her, nearly at the point where my vital signs became incomprehensible, I found out she wanted me to sign this insane 700 page prenup. I told her we could simply mindmeld over a few cocktails to determine our compatibility and to work out potential prenup kinds of problems. She surprisingly agreed. We got to her place and after a little vulcan foreplay (teasing each other with differential equations, scalar maths and such) I lustfully planted my fingertips on the side of her head. It was like reaching into a mailing tube with no bottom. There was NOTHING there, not even spinal fluid. Talk about a "Neutral Zone", sheesh.
Come to find out from a "leak" from the only functional hemisphere in her skull, she'd had something of a lobotomy-like procedure done a number of years ago following a catastrophic accident with a Chinese fingertrap, a Rubic's cube and a wicked riddle written on a Mobius strip all while whizzing by too close to a black hole at warp 9. I won't go into detail. Suffice to say she was not all there. She was not all anywhere, really.
She was perfect, otherwise..she just could not see her way into a modified corpus so that we could have a meaningful union.What a bummer. I was willing to foot the bill. I guess no matter how patient you are, somethings just are not meant to be.
Spock.. out...and still looking.
I am able to log on and I have all the necessary/desired access, however, I did not receive an explicit email of approval. After I rec'd my link (after registration) I get the same 48-72 hour message everyone else did. So I only found out about my status by entering my registration info and being allowed "in".
Spock out.
Bid/Ask very confyoosing. I am not understanding what is going on here. The numbers are noth changing in a rational way. No correlation between volume and B/A prices. What in hell's kitchen is going on?
I am not comfortable with the set-up of the CC either. Attendance is granted only by papal decree an questions are limited to 5 syllables in length or less.
4:15 pm, when only the "special" people who have "special" access to stock market activity, will make it exceedogy difficult to react to the Major news in a way that does not castrate many of us if the news is majorly- not what we want.
I feel I am getting set up. Are we going to get punked?
spock
