Looks to me that SKS has already sold what he need to sell just to get everyone to the TC conference to speak and attend.
I don't see any other company doing what he and Wave Systems has done to get everyone to Orlando.
Wave's secret sauce is delicious. Just ask GM, BP, Price Waterhouse, Dell, Microsoft, and many more.
Major conference in less than a week away, with Microsoft as a diamond sponsor at a conference put together and run by Wave Systems.
They are all coming to the Spam run by Wave. Key note speaker from NSA, Intel, MS, etc.
A reminder from Dr. Nick
Ashburn, VA -
July 10, 2013 -
Intelligent Decisions (ID), Inc., a premier global IT systems integrator, today announced a new partnership with Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ:WAVX), the Trusted Computing Company, to deliver Wave’s comprehensive portfolio of innovative solutions for managing data protection, authentication and malware detection directly to ID’s government customers.
Together, ID and Wave will address a very complicated problem that government agencies and organizations have faced for years regarding identity and privilege access management – with the added benefits of much lower management costs, greater compliance, and significantly improved security.
“Wave is a proven company that has established a strong reputation as a leader in providing security and compliance solutions for IT systems access on-site and in the cloud,” said Harry Martin, president and CEO of Intelligent Decisions.
Wave software will be integrated into ID’s Cloud and Cyber Security Practices to provide agencies with control over users’ access and privileges, while also offering the ability to audit users’ activity on the system.
“Intelligent Decisions is one of the most respected distributors in the federal government space, providing their customers with innovative and sophisticated technology solutions,” said Wave CEO Steven Sprague. “Their decision to partner with Wave will give their end users greater access to Wave’s broad range of Trusted Computing solutions, enabling them to eliminate the use of passwords and ensure that only devices that are known and trusted are allowed access to the network and corporate resources.”
The agreement covers Wave’s complete portfolio including Wave Cloud which makes mobile devices safe to lose and is ideal for managing Opal self-encrypting devices from the cloud. Wave for BitLocker™ supports the fast deployment of BitLocker, a native encryption feature from Microsoft. Another Wave technology eliminates passwords and enables virtual smartcards for second factor authentication and credential protection while using Microsoft DirectAccess. The EMBASSY Remote Administration Server for Device Identification ensures that only known devices are allowed on known networks. It establishes persistent device identity that can’t be spoofed. The Wave Endpoint Monitor checks on endpoint health and spots rootkits before the operating system loads.

Founded in 1988, Intelligent Decisions, Inc., is a recognized leader in developing and delivering innovative federal IT solutions to the civilian, defense and intelligence communities. For more information, visit www.intelligent.net or call toll-free (800) 929-8331.
Microsoft's Response
In response to questions about whether Windows 8 use in conjunction with TPM 2.0 leads to a lack of control and potential sabotage, as described by BSI, a Microsoft spokesperson sent the following comments:
Since the adoption of the Trustworthy Computing Initiative over 10 years ago, Microsoft has focused relentlessly on the security and privacy of IT users. Indeed, we are committed to building products that are SD3 (Secure by Design, Secure by Default, and Secure in Deployment) and PD3 (Privacy by Design, Privacy by Default, and Privacy in Deployment). It is also important to remember that one cannot have privacy without good security.
In support of these efforts, Windows has made a fundamental bet on trustworthy hardware and TPM 2.0 is a key component. Based in no small part on lessons learned in the TPM 1.2 timeframe, TPM 2.0 is designed to be on by default with no user interaction required. Since most users accept defaults, requiring the user to enable the TPM will lead to IT users being less secure by default and increase the risk that their privacy will be violated. We believe that government policies promoting this result are ill-advised.
It is also important to note that any user concerns about TPM 2.0 are addressable. The first concern, generally expressed as "lack of user control," is not correct as OEMs have the ability to turn off the TPM in x86 machines; thus, purchasers can purchase machines with TPMs disabled (of course, they will also be unable to utilize the security features enabled by the technology). The second concern, generally expressed as "lack of user control over choice of operating system," is also incorrect. In fact, Windows has been designed so that users can clear/reset the TPM for ownership by another OS of they wish. Many TPM functions can also be used by multiple OSes (including Linux) concurrently.
Trusted Computing Group Response
A Trusted Computing Group spokesperson replied as follows:
The specifications, including those for the TPM, have been developed over a long period of time with input from companies and governments worldwide. Some implementations of the TPM have been certified by third parties that have closely evaluated the specification and some companies' implementations of it as well. Info here.
The TPM specifications do not limit any applications nor dictate which or what kinds of applications can be used with it. The TPM has long been supported by various open source implementations. For example, the Google Chromebook uses the TPM with an open source operating system as do many other implementations.
Opt in and opt out have always been included in the TPM specifications.
Steven is a genius. Wave is like the rubric's cube.
The last click is about to happen, and everything else will fall into place
Then the fat man will have the last laugh, and Wave will never look back.
Stay tuned!!
The numbers coming from Wave are certified and correct.
Everything coming out of Wave is the Truth.
Great things are in the works. Stay tuned.
TPMs are about to be turned on. There is no other company around that has the tools that Wave has for managing the TPMs.
The federal Govt. has to act soon, otherwise they will be doomed by cyber crimes. Wave has many of the solutions to help the Govt.
Wave does not do things that are illegal, dishonest, and Wave is not a scam.
Wave is a public company that is part of NASDAQ and has SEC looking for illegal, dishonest scam companies.
Why hasn't the SEC acted against Wave if they are doing illegal, dishonest things, and if they are truly a scam?
The reason the SEC has not taken any action against Wave is because THERE IS NO ACTION TO TAKE.
Wave has done NOTHING illegal, or dishonest, and it certainly is not a scam. Ask GM, NECPC, Dell, PWC, BP, to name a few, if they think Wave is a scam.
These allegations are an insult to the hard working people at Wave Systems, that are trying to make a difference in Trusted Computing.
Oh yes, the 6.7 million of revenues they took in Q2, was due to the fact that they are doing illegal things and that they have other companies making payments to Wave because they don't know that Wave is a scam.
If Wave is doing illegal things, are dishonest, and they are perpetuating a scam, I would think someone would file legal action against Wave for all the illegal, dishonest things they are doing to the public.
It doesn't matter to me who is in charge. The thing that matters to me is who is coming to speak, and the reason for the conference.
Wave Systems has done nothing illegal. If one thinks they have, they should file suit against Wave Systems, otherwise it's best not to slander Wave Systems.
WooHoo
This "corrupt greedy stupid bunch" will make you rich if you are an investor of Wave Systems.
$2.00 by September without a reverse split. $.10 is not a possibility.
You said: "Their strategy is all wrong, and all over the place..unfortunately the wrong places".
If you are an investor of Wave, maybe you could tell them how to do it right, and maybe they will put you on the payroll. A win win, no?
What led you to believe your numbers?
I think you are wrong about many more dilutions, except for expansions.
I believe Wave will be cash positive in Q3, or at the latest Q4.
Good times are ahead. Make sure you don't miss them.
Blue, you were calling for 3 million in revenues for Q2. What say you now?
What happened that Wave was up 16% in revenues and down 27% in expenses?
I think Wave should get some credit here, don't you?
You always predict the negative for Wave. Did not happen in Q2.
You are the one that likes to look at the past. Well, Q2 is in the past now, and it wasn't to shabby. I'm sure about 1000% more than you expected, right?
tkc, I think you will see a lot of "positive things" throughout the rest of the year and beyond.
I believe you will be wrong. It will hit $2.00 before September without any further reverse splits.
Wave Systems will be one of the largest percentage gainers on NASDAQ for the year 2014. Take that to the bank.
$3.00 to $4.5 million in revenues did not happen, as some predicted.
How's this: I see B/E FOR SURE by year end, and 60/40 that it will happen in Q3.
Oh, and as far as going down to $.10 by September, I'll stick by my prediction of $2.00 by September.
I disagree. I think Wave will be $2.00 by September.
Good things are coming for Wave.
According to Wave, the highest employee count at it's peak was around 230, never 300.
As to your estimates, they are purely speculation.
I don't think they have lost any of their TOP ENGINEERS. Just my opinion.
I hope we get more reports like this. It seems to drive the stock up not down.
Up 11% already today, not counting the 19% last Friday after the report came out.
You stated these two things as FACTS.
Please post the links to show these FACTS are actually FACTS.
Please show where he says that no one could possibly interested in buying Wave and where he says that he will not buy more shares because it is to speculative.
Thanks in advance.
1)he repeatedly confirms that no one is, or could possibly be, interested in buying us out because we don't have anything that anyone would pay money for.
2)that he, himself, is not inclined to buy more Wave shares because it is too speculative an investment for him to rely on for his retirement money.
Wave is showing a lot of strength this morning. Looks like $.10 by August is a long shot.
Seems like a perfect time to keep shorting this stock, right?
Kis, Wave at $1.49 at the moment. Your post calling for $ .10 by August seems like it will not happen.
Wave will be in compliance upon appeal I believe.
Jermart is this still a great short?
I don't think I did. Do you have a link to that post?
Still did not answer the question if you think Wave will be $.10 by August.
Looking forward to you shorting a TON. Go for it!!
The Intelligent Decisions release out at 11:41 a.m. today WAS NOT referenced to Wave's stock symbol "WAVX" and therefore will not show up under Wave's financial news queue (even though the symbol is in the release).
To get this accomplished - ID will need to contact BusinessWire (Philly bureau) and instruct them that this should be done - and they will also likely need written confirmation from Wave that this is OK. That will allow them to submit the release to the databases such as Yahoo Finance and have it show up under the WAVX news Queue.
This is being done as we speak.

Wave Completes 100,000 Seat Trusted Computing Deployment With BASF
World-Class Achievement for Both Companies
LEE, MA--(Marketwired - July 01, 2013) - Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX), the Trusted Computing Company, announced that it has completed the installation of its software on BASF's fleet of more than 100,000 PCs and laptops.
"Ensuring that sensitive data is always safe -- even if a device is lost or stolen -- is one of the foremost priorities for BASF," stated Joseph Souren, General Manager EMEA & Vice President Wave. "Thanks to a strong partnership with the BASF's IT Governance and Information Services groups, Wave and BASF were able to complete the deployment of a fully-managed, hardware-based encryption solution across a hundred thousand endpoints in record time. It was truly a 'world-class' achievement and one built on mutual trust and commitment."
BASF, headquartered in Ludwigshafen, Germany, is the world's leading chemical company. Its portfolio ranges from chemicals, plastics, performance products, and agricultural products to oil and gas. BASF partners with its customers to create chemistry for virtually all industries.
To protect sensitive data, BASF elected self-encrypting drives (SEDs) as opposed to software encryption, as part of the standard configuration for all of BASF's laptops. Built in accordance with the Opal specification published by the Trusted Computing Group, SEDs are among the most secure, best performing and most transparent encryption options available. Available in solid state or traditional rotating disk form, they are available from all the leading storage providers and PC OEMs.
The original order with BASF was initiated in 2011, involving tens of thousands of licenses for Wave's flagship EMBASSY® Remote Administration Server. With the completion of this installation, BASF has extended its license with Wave until 2015. Wave enables IT to activate each SED in seconds (as opposed to up to several hours per device with software-based encryption), set security policies and provide detailed event logs to prove data was encrypted if a laptop goes missing.
"BASF is the pre-eminent name in the global chemical industry and truly one of the world's top brands," said Steven Sprague, CEO & President. "We've enjoyed a strong working relationship with BASF as they've completed this significant installation of more than 100,000 self-encrypting drives on every BASF laptop -- all of them managed by Wave. This collaboration is yet another example of Wave's ability to bring our world-class solutions to customers of every size, across a variety of industries."

You like to talk about the lies from Wave. Can you post any facts to back up the lies you are talking about?
WOW, Steven Sprague of Wave Systems is searching for a CEO. Never knew that. Could you provide a link to the fact that you say he is looking to replace himself?
Thanks

One new board member is already guaranteed.
Too many shares outstanding to change anything, and the people that read these boards do not have enough votes to defeat the proposals.
As I said earlier, I have not decided what I am going to vote yes for and what I am going to vote no for. Just saying that the most you can hope for is seeing another BOD (Bagley) defeated. He came very close last year, and he is probably on thin ice this year too.
No matter what we vote, I believe everything will be approve, as with 99% of all proxies, for all companies, do, in the long run.
The company will prevail. You guys are wasting your time talking about the vote.
The only BOD that could be in jeopardy is Bagley. Other than that, everything will be voted positive.
Not saying that is the way I will vote, but that's just the way it is.
I'm wrong???
Exactly where in the filling does it say they are considering a 6:1 or a 7:1 RS?
Where was I wrong??
You said: Heck oids we might have us a six or seven to one reverse split! Exciting eh ? Awesome an 86 % loss of shares at 7 to 1 !
That is impossible. The only thing coming for the BOD to vote on is 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1. Those are the only three that can happen. A 6:1 and a 7:1 are not even up for consideration. Can not happen.
Right, where are those Samsung products when you need them.
AT&T (T) might be getting Samsung's (SSNLF.PK) Galaxy S IV a month before Verizon (VZ): a Staples training sheet leaked to Engadget indicates an April 26 launch date for Samsung's new flagship device for AT&T, a May 1 launch date for T-Mobile USA, and a May 30 launch date for Verizon. AT&T will start taking pre-orders for the S IV tomorrow; from all indications, international pre-order activity has been quite strong.
Again, thanks for reminding us about Wave's reverse split coming up very soon now.
You saved me a ton of money by getting me to sell most of this pig. Thanks again.
You're right. Management and the BOD have us on the brink of a Microsoft expansion of Wave's products and maybe, finally, a deal with the DOD.
What a losing BOD and management team. They can't seem to get anything done.
kisamura, now you have hit the nail on the coffin.
I agree, Wave Systems is a SCAM. It started out that way, and continues to this day.
The BOD and the Wave's management are there to take as much money as possible from the foolish investors.
Thank you for pointing all this out to us.
Microsoft has no interest in anything Wave is doing, in my opinion.
Great post.
Thanks kisamura
