Well, Rudy, I'd be very interested in what you think I have said that is a classic "pump". All the facts I stated can be backed up by specifics, not "atta boy" statements. A pump has largely to do with hyping a stock by over blowing it's value in order to move traders to buy. I do not do that. The facts that I state are just that: historical facts. The fact remains that the Tivu market is pumped and controlled largely by market makers, MM. They hold huge numbers of shares and move them up and down like a yo-yo. Unfortunately, for a stock in Tivu's condition it is a necessary fact of the market. Without their backing, we would not be in Philly. What the average stock buyer has to do is separate the bs (being silly) from the facts of a company.
Tivu has solid tech and that has brought them into association with Marriott (Host): FACT. They have installed their tech in the downtown Philly Marriott: FACT. They have filled all their ad insertion technology orders into their system: FACT. Marriott, either by coincidence or planning, is having their annual Manager's award in the Philly Marriott: FACT. Tivus exploded their share count with MM's to pay for this installation, and this creates share dilution and a price fall: FACT. No other competitor has the ad insertion tech.: FACT. Yes, this price and the share dilution sucks. But apparently Host would not risk with Tivus to give them a market contract so Tivus could go to financial houses to borrow the money over this massive share dilution. It is what it is. If that's pumping, my friend, we are operating on another definition of "Pump".
Now you have to decide what play you want to make in this market. I take it from your words you are bailing. That's OK. But don't blame the company for your "buy/sell" decisions. This is a risky play and you knew it from the beginning. GLTY in the future. R3
