I now have little doubt that more news will follow rapidly. Sufficient time has passed to start seeing announcement of new deals, in my opinion. At some point the multitude of sellers have to connect with some lucrative numbers.
I am somewhat flabbergasted that so many here would even acknowledge those who would be questioning the technology when a company like MSFT has elected to expose it to their advantage in Azure. Why does anyone even bother to spend any time debating whether this tech is valid or not , when clearly a company like MSFT has indicated that it is? I imagine many have quite a bit of time on their hands.
bd2004....in eply to your comment about buying into hype.
As an investor, I am required to look forward and to examine all aspects of a company, its products, financials and its management. You stating "don't buy into the hype here" can also mean that one should not only buy into the negative either, as it also is being hyped. The current financial picture not being a very good one can easily be turned around by increasing revenues, for which things are being set into place as we speak. Although I tend not to bother replying to most posts here, I also tend not to get too excited when I noticed a large number of shares being held by those who would wish the company ill. The company will do what it needs to sell its products and as a mature person, I am fully aware of the risks of new tech, bad management obsolete products , but on the other hand, I am also aware that a company requires some time to pierce into a marketplace that is changing in a big way.
I have some confidence in the products and am in no way buying into any Hype, either on the side of longs or shorts, as it is all noise. The only thing that counts now is whether the deals signed can create revenue. To that effect, I am waiting for 4th quarter results and if the price drops further, then I will indeed add to my holdings, as I know that the products have been shown to work, evidenced by several key players in the market. The addition of Simon Bramfitt also inspires confidence for the company was lacking in good people to put the word out.
The childish back and forth by both shorts and longs deter from the true questions here. For me, only one is important. Can the company sell its products once they have set up distribution channels. I think it can, and I am betting that in the next year, this story will be rather different than it is now. Many years ago, I saw the same experience with many other tech companies and was rewarded for my patience. As longs are biased in their views, so are shorts. That is par for the course. The difference is that I am a positive person and wish people success , as opposed to failure, thus I tend to look forward a little further down the road. Had I had a short term view of everything in my life, I would not be where I am today. Financials are usually not great when you are preparing for rapid growth. Seen it many times. Of course, it gives shorts good ammunition to try to acquire the necessary shares to give back. On the other hand, it also allows me to increase my position in view of the impending revenue increases. Good luck with you investments, but foremost, good luck in finding what good life has to offer.
There are those who seek knowledge by looking at a still picture, and then there are those who know that life is an ongoing story. The value of things changes as the story develops. It is folly to believe or to try to make others believe that what is today will be tomorrow.
It is known as the "IRVS" intensive research viagra syndrome".
It is basically the result of a group of people with mal intent misleading investors so that a stock price is brought down, and this becomes a catalyst for who those certain of the future prospects of a company and its products to sit back and take their turns accumulating, thereby passing more and more shares to hands that will not let them go until goals are achieved.
Eyes on the large blocks.
It is a very beneficial affliction for those who have fundamentally sound knowledge of potential , execution and impending revenue streams.
A beach ball rebounds all the time, and eventually those who attempt to keep it under water end up drowning themselves.
I think Hugo should call Msft and tell them they have made a huge mistake instead of trying to convince people here that s3d has nothing.
Short interest up 7.4%.
One has to wonder where they think they will be able to make money at this point. I am at a loss to understand the strategy.
rigged game. nasty indeed. not a fair playing field in the least.
"Stilte voor de storm"
Does the short interest still not consolidate the tsx short umbers from nearly three months ago, or did those just disappear.?
large volume, but not much upside movement........yet?
I think he is talking about the short positions that may have to be covered now. 1.2M was NasDaq and 2.8 was TSX before delisting, although I was under the impression that TSX had around 2.3M at last count, but he could very well be right, as I did not check it all the time.
That said, the Nasdaq short position is probably already down a bit from that,but the TSX still has not been reconciled.....unless I missed something.
closed at 7.....6.89 sale was a few seconds before close.....
lol, managed to get some more at 6.93 in the last minute. they put up a big block there at the end, like clockwork.
so many companies presenting.......any thoughts on how effective it can be in that kind of environment?
Translation.....it talks about storage products and services from overland.
-----------------------
the theme of safeguarding, backup and storage
the figure is at the center of developments of Overland Storage,
international company present in Italy through its
Tandberg Data subsidiary, which has developed a series of
hardware, software, OS and SAN storage devices,
NAS and Tape for storage of data in both the short
in the long term.
The market presence of Overland Storage was then further
expanded through a merger with Sphere 3D. Target
primary of this operation was to accelerate the
development and integration of new technologies and next
generation in the context of virtualization and cloud.
Is particularly large in the portfolio Overland Storage
the range of solutions with security features
enterprise-class data. The SnapServer XSD 40 presents
for example, in addition to a management of this level, sturdy
data protection capabilities while in a form factor in
format desktop. Supports both accesses to files that
blocks and is a multi-platform compatible with systems
Windows, Linux, UNIX and Macintosh.
To ensure the availability of the data included in the software
additional features of data protection as the
SnapShot high performance, backing up directly to RDX,
BitTorrent Sync and optionally remote replication. The
SAN and NAS storage device equips software
GuardianOS 7.6 and, as mentioned, is available in version
desktop with very small dimensions.
Its field of use, highlights Overland Storage, ranges
environments with virtualized servers and Microsoft Exchange,
up to backup architectures and consolidation

Been there , done that, a few times now, Grubstake.....no answer from anyone.
There still has been no news on the 2.3M shares short from the TSX delisting, so things might get even more interesting now.
This guy is not a new short.....he has been shorting any for a while now. Read his other tweets.
New short. Another one that has no idea
@christambos: Shorting the POS known as $ANY here in the $7's. Back to $3's soon enuf.
His intervention and influence are so insignificant when we look at the big picture, that they could be compared to an ant trying to stop an oncoming truck, filled with a cargo consisting of products and services needed by a great many people.
The idea that he should be silenced warrants not even a sliver of thought at this point, as his ramblings cannot possibly be worthy of any person who is willing to do even the slightest level of DD towards verification of his utterances.
He might even assist us in creating a great support level by sending more expendable "gladiators" into the arena, in need of a flogging for their lack of willingness to aspire to the truth.
Lol, wishful thinking. If someone can make it beneficial to the masses, those who would rule us will find a way to be cumbersome and annoying to the process.
Taking your point to heart, I would add that many decades ago, only a handful of people could have hoped to find something to change the world, but due to technology today, anyone can actually do it. You need not be a king, an industrialist or an elite to change the world anymore. Technology offers anyone with a great idea the ablity to do so these days. One can only imagine what the next 10 years will bring once the IOT is in full swing.
There were still many questions when it last ran up so fast. One of the factors that gives me comfort now is that so many of those questions have been answered. There is less doubt on many levels where before there was considerable speculation on both sides.
That said, a much stronger fundamental support base can be established, now that this becomes not a question of whether but more so of how far and how fast can these products/services be implemented and spread out into the required sectors. The playing field has been set, the team is ready to execute, whereas some months ago, this was not quite yet the case on all fronts. There were still unknowns. Very few of those left now.
So many more parameters to consider on this one now makes me feel that this run up will be a tad more sustainable.
at this rate, there may be calls on margins.... ever seen a snowball go down a hill?
Few shares traded today. I was expecting the shorts to try to bring it down with much more gusto than what I saw. I am trying to add but want to make sure I only do it to take away any shares that they may have and at the right moment, nasty me. It was like they seemed not to possess sufficient shares to be able to play the same game again, like they do most end of months. That said, we still do not have any news on what happened to the 2.3M TSX shorts, 2 months after the merger. Did I miss something? Anyone aware of how long this is supposed to take in the normal course of things?
Seems like those characters have less and less straws to grasp at. I guess it becomes a difficult task to hold a beachball under water for long and they will try what they can.
End of the month coming. Shorts will be pushing hard today and tomorrow, as usual.
No worries, down the road, you will laugh at these efforts. No doubt whatsoever.
It is but a question of days now. Will soon be over. Buy what you can when they throw them at you like this. No-brainer.
here they go at their games again...
The relative low level of shorts as indicated on the Nasdaq is one thing. The lack of reconcilation of the 2.3M shorts from the TSX is the crux of the matter now. Two months after delisting, still no news on this. I suspect there is a lot going on behind the scenes to rectify this, and expect to hear how that will be done in the very very near future. You cannot simply refuse to deal with this issue forever. It has to be rectified.
last second of trading, they took it down from 4.37 to 4.31 with a small order. lol
Anyone ever try to get a hold of Todd or Jim at investor relations for ANY? Todd's mailbox is so full, he needs duct tape to hold it together, and Jim is never available............:(
Anyone have other ideas as to how to get a hold of someone who might answer a question about the reconciliation of the 2.3M shorts since the TSX delisting?
Nova Scotia, the PROVINCE, currently has 8 school districts.
I believe it is high time that shareholders contact the company to find out what is being done about the TSX short position, that as of yet has not been reconciled. Two months is an unacceptable delay when we are talking about 2.3 M shares out of a 37m share total.
I am finding it very strange that this is taking so long and am wondering, what, if any, pressure the company is putting on the authorities to settle this issue once and for all. Whatever the case may be, put it to bed already.
Giovanni,
Are you for real?
Nova Scotia is a province of Canada, dude.
What part of that did you not understand?
Love it here...retired early at 46 and was tired of the 6 month freeze in Mtl. Here is perfect weather, greater sense of freedom, better food, greater sense of community and family. They live for people, we lived for things. Different culture altogether.
Things are here what they were in Can 40 years ago, except with the benefit of technology now in their hands. Added benefit is the cost of living. Prices so low, you have to bend down to see them, and while you are there you might sometimes even catch a glimpse of stress, as it resides there as well. Suffice to say, had we been wiser, we would have done it sooner.
Nova Scotia a small town? Last I looked it was a province, but hey, why mince geographicals terms with precision of language, eh?
GetSmart17,
Apology readily accepted, as indeed your assumption was incorrect.
I have been involved with Sphere3d for quite some time, and spent the first year reading as opposed to contributing to the discussions. I understand that you are aware of the shorts, and was simply trying to find evidence of written word where they would have the gall to call BS on an official public company news release, knowing that there are legal implications to making false statements in such releases. Therefore, it is clear that they seem to be grasping at straws for the moment, perhaps fearing that there wiggle room is getting tighter and tighter. That said, I was not very pleased to see them find the ability to take us from 11 to 3.5 , and hope that the reverse can be done just as quickly.
I was kind of surprised that they managed to drop it so easily today after the revenue guidance, but imagine that selling shares to each other a few pennies lower at a time can make for some movement. Luckily, we are not here just for a quick buck like they seem to be. They probably need it more than we do if they are inclined to take such risks.
BTW...FYI...........I reside in beautiful Salinas, Ecuador, far removed from the nasty games of TO's Baystreet.
GetSmart17,
What would make you believe that I am aware of the identity of any short in TO?
Do you have any idea about who and where I am?
You confuse me with your request, honestly.
Pls explain
