Tivus, Inc. (TIVU)

[retired3]

Irish, unfortunately I think that family relationships don't often mean much in our world of business. I had a cousin or two that I probably would have run the other way if they had brought me a "good business deal". As far as Host is concerned, they are much more concerned about their shareholders then Tivus' shareholders! They are the ones they have to answer to, and a great deal with benefits is their primary cause.

Host doesn't want to kill Tivus. Believe me when I say that the Marriott family hates porn with a passion. They will do everything morally possible to get porn off their tv screens. But they have to make money, and that is where Tivus has it's edge with ad insertion.

I think hanging in is what we have to do, Irish. I am buying limited numbers of shares to average down my price to well under .01. Remember, even in a RS, the share price will generally reflect the same multiple of RS in the share price. It may or may not stay there for long, but it will start there. If there is a contract and $'s announced with an RS, you could at least for a short period of time see a benefit. It is all in the playing, my friend. Have a good day. R3
