Trexville, in your opinion, does NVEI have a chance to make 10 million eventually on the film.? Or what would be a realistic "moderate" number? Hopefully, there will be enough upfront money to help sustain the tech's development.
Trexville, thanks again for sharing your insights about the movie. One more thing please. I found your unsolicited comment pertaining to some form of affiliation quite interesting. "A merger, joint venture, acquisition and such remain real options for the company." Any particular reason why you mentioned that at this time?. Is this just speculation on your part or have you "caught wind of something" possibly "in the works"?
In your opinion, which of these possiblities would benefit shareholders the most?
So Trexville, how much, in your opinion, did the Santa Barbara showings enhance SIL's actual monetary value (roughly speaking)? Is it possible there may now be some competitve bidding for distribution rights?
Trexville, thank you very much.
"The company is moving forward on the movie front and on the tech front."
Trexville, I sure hope you are right. Please tell me what you base this optimistic statement on?
Can shareholders find out more specifically why these entities have merited compensation from NVEI?
Brady, I agree. But it is my feeling that Cooper stepping down with just this general reason given has contributed to the stress the share price has been under. Some investors are likely suspicious. A little more specifics without giving the details could help ease their mind and help NVEI's credibility. IMO.
I guess in the long run the share price will take care of itself IF the tech is verified.
"Why did Cooper really leave ?
family problems ?
health problems?
Divorce?"-MWL
I'm not being "nosey", but as a concerned shareholder, I'd like to know this myself.
Thanks excel, I hope you're right.
In the recent Ketch interviews, was anything really accomplished? Who were they aimed at?
So Trexville, would you say that a movie deal is inevitable within the nest month?
This is a very frustrating period for shareholders. IMO Until there is solid evidence of validity to a movie deal, adequate financing, or the viability of the tech, we'll probably see the share price slide further. What's to keep it from going lower under the current scenario?
excel, if you were to venture a guess, will NVEI have a movie deal consumated, with revenues in place within a month?
Thanks SS. What's your thinking on the movie? Should NVEI be trying to sell the rights at a reasonable price just to secure some much-needed finances to help develop and promote the tech?
Will Embarq have any problems passing government regulations?
Also porscha, it sure wouldn't hurt NVEI's credibility if they could demonstrate that they can actually "close a deal" that brings in revenue.
It seems to me NVEI needs to reach a "happy median" between what they'd like to get out of the film and what their immediate financial needs are. Obviously, Embarq needs some finances to enhance it's development (both technical and PR).
Get the deal done, soon.
Great news about the movie's reception. So how much longer until shareholders can expect to profit from it?

Broadband Over Power Lines? It's Possible
47 minutes ago Add Technology - AP to My Yahoo!
By JIM SUHR, AP Business Writer
ST. LOUIS - Coming to a home or office near you could be an electric Internet: high-speed Web access via ubiquitous power lines, of all things, making every electrical outlet an always-on Web connection.
If it sounds shocking, consider this: St. Louis-based Ameren Corp. and other utilities already are testing the technology, and many consider it increasingly viable.
This truly plug-and-play technology, if proven safe, has the blessings of federal regulators looking to bolster broadband competition, lower consumer prices and bridge the digital divide in rural areas.
Because virtually every building has a power plug, it "could simply blow the doors off the provision of broadband," Federal Communications Commission (news - web sites) chairman Michael Powell said last month.
For competition's sake, "absolutely, we would applaud it," says Edmond Thomas, chief of the FCC (news - web sites)'s Office of Engineering and Technology.
"We're going to have an absolute stampede to move on this. This is a natural," said Alan Shark, president of the Power Line Communications Association, which includes Internet providers such as Earthlink as well as utility companies. "It'll change the way we do business on the Internet."
While existing providers of broadband through cable TV lines or phone wires consider the technology intriguing, they stress that talk of it has been around for years, with nothing to show for it.
Existing broadband providers such as St. Louis-based Charter Communications Inc., the nation's third-largest cable company, believe they have the edge because they are known commodities and can bundle high-speed Internet with video and even telephone service in some markets.
If ever deployed, power-line broadband "certainly is competition, but we feel our product would stand up well," said David Andersen, a spokesman for Charter, which has nearly 1.1 million high-speed Internet customers.
Digital power lines are believed to be able to carry data at roughly the same speeds as cable or DSL lines. And because electricity is more prevalent in homes than cable or even telephone lines, a vast new communications infrastructure could be born overnight — notably in rural areas, where broadband access has lagged.
pengy, so IYO would Step Into Liquid be a "hit" if featured in cinemas across the United States? Will general audiences pay "big bucks" to see it or will it require a special clientele?
TFN and IOSN, maybe a call to Ketch would be worthwhile on this matter.
TFN, maybe something like this IS worth consideration.
Make that MacReport
How prestigious is the Mace Report?
When did the Ketch presentation come out?
NT, now if we can just get more people wanting to buy.
TripleSevens, as pleased as I am that NVEI has an actual prototype being tested, I am disappointed that this movie distribution deal keeps dragging on. NVEI needs both the money to help develop the tech and the credibility of actually producing some kind of revenue.
I really didn't mean to sound suspicious. Just stating my personal feelings. I'm sure many shareholders feel the same way.
For now, I will trust Brad Ketch's judgement.
As a shareholder, I will feel much better about any kind of payments to consultants (cash or shares) once NVEI finally has a sales contract, a movie distribution deal, or anything that produces revenue.
excel, good info. thanks again.
NorthernTrader, didn't Ketch also indicate that updates will be forthcoming on the tech? (I think he said "in weeks")
I also just finished listening to the interview. Another excellent Ketch presentation. If Ketch is hiding anything, he sure has me fooled. He sure gives off some positive "vibs" about where NVEI is heading. IMO
TripleSevens, IMO now is a good time consider investing in this company. Are you aware that Peter Lynch has invested in BLSI? I've been an investor for a long time. Like my investment in NVEI, I started investing in BLSI way too early. As they say, "hindsight is 20/20".
OT: ShallowPockets, would you, per chance, be invested in Boston Life Sciences?
Does anybody feel NVEI could get a modest buy-out offer right now based on the claimed prototype performance and the current financial situation? If so, what would be a "modest" price they NVEI might consider?
Is this board down?
MIDWEST AND LURKING, why don't you and your "troops" jump in now to expedite NVEI's development?
excel. why can't NVEI, via Quint, "clue" some "new", speculative investors in on their project now? I don't get it.
I sent this email to Brad Ketch yesterday.
"Please address these two issues in a future RAQ?
1)That was an impressive interview on ceocfointerviews.com. Will Quint promote the interview? I would think, even though NVEI still has a way to go to market the tech, letting some more potential investors in on what NVEI has in the works would "sow some seeds" of "new" interest in NVEI.
2)I really do wish NVEI had more finances to work with. It appears the tech's development is being slowed by limited funds. How much money does NVEI "really need" minimum at this stage to comfortably bring the tech to market this year?"
excel. I really think that if Quint would promote this informative interview, they could "drum up" some much-needed new interest in NVEI. I realize there is still alot to be proven. But this interview could really "shed some light" on what NVEI is trying to accomplish. We know, but many don't.
NT, I agree. I hope Quint promotes this. Why wouldn't they? NVEI needs to start "sowing more seeds" with potential investors.
