That's an emotional shift, not a fundamental

Shareholders, esspecially new ones, want nothing more then to get rich quick. They want a business to move faster then possible. They want better then perfection
Basically they don't want to believe stocks move up AND down, always.

And, "technical" shifts encompass both emotional and fundamental changes
Technical Analysis is the study of price movement.
Encompassing every piece of data known, and rumoured.
Any price movement, or non-movement for that matter, can be viewed as part of "TA"

I posted maybe a week ago that my "TA" told me that short term traders should wait for the 200ma.
IMO it's also a decent place for long termers to enter/add

In my opinion, a true investor of gte would want the job done right, not the job done quick.

There's no benefit in having a high share price unless you want to sell

You may be correct and if that news was a update PR on news wire all the STRAT heads would have dumped. But sooner or later the launch delay will reach the retail trading public. What to watch for is trade sizes and EOD volumes to see if fund guys / brokers (NITE) will continue to buy up the jumpers.

The last SEC filing named NITE as the largest investor in the last funding deal. I found it very unusual for a broker/dealer to invest in a companies stock that way. Because of this, I felt somehow, someway GTE is positioning itself with one broker/dealer. I have not come to a conclusion as to how that will benifit the share price except NITE would not become a advisary. And would support the stock.

Once again I have to stress, I am invested long with my lump, which is way down now !!! , on the core business and the rev and profit targets. AUG 15th will be a BIG day for me. NEVER EXPECTED ONE PENNY OF REV"S OR PROFITS FROM THE STRAT UNTIL LATE 2006, anyway.

My lump is sitting way in the back of my closet, where every long investor should have their investment shares. Don't worry about all the Strat hype, because that's all it's been since day one!

What we should want is to see continued business plan execution and released goals being reached. So IMO this latest Strat hype delay may become a good opp to load up some long shares and average down, for long investors! Plus a great swing buying opp also.

TA has not been positive for trading GTE since before going to the American and the only saving grace to following GTE has been a swing play. I have not entered at $2.80 because I was not sure it bottomed yet and now don't expect to enter until I see what happens with this latest developement. And Q1 SEC report.

Very sneekly delay release, IMO the last time a Strat engineer (Vern), let news out, he was replaced, with the guys that are letting things slip, in this little local news paper, now. I have read other small news stories saying test in fall also. Sanswire one not being use for test was released also. All showing summer timing goals for the Start were unreachable, and known by management and myself for some time. The main board has all this info also but seem to be completely un willing to except the Strat has a LONG way to go.

So IMO invest in the core business and swing the trade plays. We could see lower buying opps, as more Stratheads become aware of delays.

Mide, I read and re-read the Yahoo document you posted regarding Naked short selling, etc, and here is a new MAJOR CONCERN I have...based upon these crooks being able to naked short a company into the ground....! What if the big players in telecom, etc. viewed GTE as a multi-billion dollar threat to their existence (no more cell towers, etc), and they have the "inside" ability (connections with brokerage firms, and others you mentioned) to cause GTE to be naked shorted to death where it would face de-listing and a an eventual spiral death into oblivion. From what you posted, the repeated lending of fantom shares (nakedly shorted) from brokerage firm to brokerage firm, without having to settle or cover these shares could put a contrived high volume sell-off of GTE shares into place, and while albeit an artificially designed plan, could force the PPS to fall into the sub-AMEX listing level requirements, and force the company into market capitalizationn bankruptcy. Am I being too paranoid here, or from the document you posted, am I to be seriously concerned with my investment capital. The big telecom and other companies that stand to lose billions if the Strat is successfully launched certainly have a vested interest in seeing GTE "short-sold" into financial oblivion. Scarry for sure. Please post your thoughts in this regard. Still very LONG. docS.
