The story of investment.
Years ago someone got a bright idea or came up with an invention. They needed money to make their dreams a reality. They would go to some people and offer them a tiny slice of the company they were building in exchange for some money. The tiny slices were called shares and there were just so many of them. You could hold them in your hand - they were physical certificates just like the dollar bills you have in your wallet. Like the dollar bills of that time (that were backed up by gold), these certificates had tangible assets to back them up. If the company made it, the holders of these shares got rich or richer. If the company didn't make it, you lost your money but not because of foul play or a swindle but because of competition or inferior product or other supply and demand matters. It was a very simple game with easy to understand rules.
It was nice while it lasted. Those days have been gone for a long time.
These days you don't get your physical certificates and many share holders are actually "holding" - digitally - shares that don't exist except in the mind of some market maker. Like today's dollar bills (which have not been backed up by gold since Nixon) there is nothing to back up many shares that are sold. The dilution of many companies is not done by the Board of Directors or CEO selling their shares or expanding the float but by market makers selling shares they don't have and shorting them. The people that most earnestly declare this to not be happening are in the employ of market makers or OTC Hedge Funds that make money stealing it from average middle class investors.
This is not to say that some, even many, pink/OTC companies are not pie in the sky or outright scams. However these days with the internet and other sources it is very, very easy to spot a scam if you do your due diligence.
When you weed out the bad companies you are left with good, earnest companies that employ actual people and will build the future if allowed to do so.
Over time, the relentless market maker manipulation of good company's stock destroys them. This shorting enriches the market maker and his henchmen (paid posters and bashers and people hired to buy shares and sell them at strategic times) but it destroys companies, jobs and eventually a society.
Who needs companies in America anyways? We can always get all our goods from China and ship our jobs over there and all of us can work for nothing at Burger King and produce nothing of value in this country. It is already happening but you don't want to see it. You walk by the once great neighborhood and it is a slum. You take a business trip to Detroit and pretend you don't see what could easily pass as a European city in 1944.
The rest of the world has figured out how to dethrone the United States as the world's greatest superpower. Our foreign policy is so despicable how could we not be despised in many places. The destruction of this country could NEVER be done militarily because of a nuclear arsenal that could destroy all life 10 times over, and the will of the great American people. The way to destroy America is economically through unfair trade agreements, use of child and peasant labor, inflating oil prices, currency manipulation and other dirty tricks. We know this to be the case and yet we whistle through the graveyard.
When you allow shorting and bashing campaigns to go on and you give up on good companies or get into the short term gains games, you play into all of the above.
This country will never make it if people don't take a stand and put their money into good American companies based in America hiring Americans and producing products in America for Americans. Think about that the next time you are making a decision about what to do with your investment dollars.
TELVUE, TEVE is such a company. Real products, real people, real company. Consider getting your money out of that project to build a retirement community in Siberia or find gold by excavating the lost city of Atlantis. PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE IT COUNTS AND LEAVE IT THERE.
If you don't understand these things you will never understand this company and why we invest in it.
