People are testy again.
I don't get it. This is a long way from over. We still don't have a contract with a hard and fast revenue number attached to it. We have seen the carrot but not the cart. Yet some here are acting like this is over. Wave has put themselves in the best position they can possibly be. They have done everything that they thought was needed to do-much to the chagrin of many in Waveland, to get themselves into this position. Yet even as near as last week there was talk of not needing anymore dilution. Now we have another offering. Grumbling over the proxy about shares. We get a little movement and people act like we have ignition. The act like we are going to have a revenue bomb dropped on us at the CC, an unknown revenue figure mystically appears.
I don't think the company or whomever it is they are going to announce revenue generating deal with would like anything better than to get this news out to validate what is happening in this space. Wave would surely love this. Don't think that DELL or Gateway wouldn't enjoy the validation this would bring them for being early to the game either.
For as long as some have been invested here, I've got to agree with Eamon and others that some of you really don't get what you've invested in here. And it's compounded by the huge amount of equity some of you hold. Not everybody is going to be on the same page, not everybody loves this company or it's technology. Not everybody loves Bonds, but he still hits it out of the park. Not everything on these boards is gospel, not everybody is posting to manipulate the stockprice for a low buy in or shorting. These boards don't hold that much sway. The same poster's seem to float between the boards under aliases. The Yahoo board is nothing more than a virtual pissing contest. They monitor this board and post stuff there. Don't think anybody is paying any attention there other than those who want to keep engaging in this decade long turf war. I know people who have looked at the yahoo board when they went checking Wave out and said it was the most unreadable board they had every come across. The monkeys amuse themslves over there. Lots of the public boards are filled with nothing but spam which leads us to the private boards. These boards serve a purpose for smaller companies bcause where else would we find everything relevant in one place. I certainly would not need a message board if I held shares in MSFT. They also serve the purpose of confirmation, as in I'm not the only one who thinks this company is on the right track, we all like confirmation. It's when you mix the uncertainty with a large financial stake that seems to still permeate some of the posts here.
Realize the risks are all still here, this is far from a done deal. Also realize, DELL, Gateway, Intel, Seagate, Broadcomm, Atmel, etc, etc, etc,....are not going away. Wave has aligned themselves with the top companies in computing. They have commited to Wave. We just need the marketplace to commit to the product. The manufacturer's have, but they still have no real handle on the demand, hence the wording in the contracts Wave has already received. That changes when the demand is tangible. The marketplace has yet to commit, that's the only unknown left. If the marketplace embraces the product, Wave has a license to print money. These giants have already comitted to Wave, and when/if the marketplace embraces these trusted computing products, these business relationships will grow exponentially from that point on. We just need to arrive there. When that happens is anybody's guess.
