I have been thinking about JWez' notions about how much attention we, on this forum, give to the hour-to-hour doings of SP an his posse. In a word, he thought maybe SP might wonder why we are all so hypervigilant and hypersensitive about Tivus. It's not our project, it's his. And if we don't like what is going on why do we just unload, take our hit and find something we like better?
First, I would be willing to bet a good number of Tivus investors are in a position of loss right now if they sold their holdings. We really despise losing money especially on investments we think could be performing better. That's reason 1.
2--- For some of us, the loss we would take is relatively large and the thought of taking that hit might simply be unbearable.
3-This one applies to me--- though we have had no financial information of use in many months, the clues we have had indicate Tivus is moving forward ...and the value of the endeavor is very likely (in fact, obviously) increasing, though we can't prove it yet. SO, unless we have some urgent need for this particular cash, we will wait it out to see what will eventually have to be shown.
4- Some of us are deeply mystified by the behavior of the CEO. He exudes total confidence in the company and those things we are used to seeing from other CEOs, like transparency to one degree or another, seems not to apply here. Even releasing the names of the board--we are led to believe- is simply too sensitive at this time to disclose. That is simply extraordinary. Can this be true or is SP just overly cautious? So, the CEO has a mystique which captivates us on some level and compels us to continue, like we're reading some great murder mystery.
In the end, should we care so much? Would all of us not be better off doing almost anything else rather than fretting, speculating and complaining and provoking all the time? Perhaps. I guess it all depends on one's motivations for investing to begin with. Ya, it's a given we all want to make money, but beyond that, whatever Tivus is , it has reeled us in and made us care more about ti than perhaps some of our other investments. Maybe we think we can influence how it evolves. Maybe we think a crime is being committed against us. Maybe it will rescue us from some bad investments we've made in the past or put some 401k accounts back on track.
I think one thing is for sure: Nothing untoward is going to sneak by this bunch. There are some sharp people here. Another thing: it is true that if we bash each other or the company, nothing good can possibly come of that. Nothing.
The bottom line.. and I think it's a good one... is that we all care. It manifests differently for each one of us, but without a doubt, we care. And we're not just going to sit back and let the wind blow as it may if we have anything to say about it. I want any potential investor to look into this forum and see that we are emotionally invested in Tivus. We have seen potential and we want to see it realized, it is what we expect to happen here.
