Jakes_: I'm afraid Kiwi's data is not correct. He is showing "short" sales on a daily basis, when in reality, they are only reported twice a month.

What Kiwi is mistaking for short sales--are the daily settlings of trades.

Re: shorts--yes, if Wave actually gains traction and signs deals, then I think you would be right. Shorts having to cover would add to the upward pressure--v good for supporters.

Personally, I don't think short covering will add much, but I could be wrong.

I like your optimism, but wish it were based on something besides hope.

Is it your opinion Trusted Computing will take off in a big bang kinda mode, or do you think it will be incremental bits here and there?

If you favor the big bang model, I believe we would see immediate reaction at the share price/vol. metric.

If you think it will come in dribs and drabs, the SP/vol will start to slowly creep up, IMO.

I keep looking for signs of an uptake in TPM usage and thus far, nothing on the scope.

Where should I be looking (other than at the growing pile of dots)?

Do you agree with Barge, traction will first come with consumer devices? Or do you favor the enterprise/govt model?

Best wishes for your dreams to come true--Blue

Jakes_D: I forgot to respond to your comment about how SKS will be viewed a year into the future.

If Wave is successful, yes, SKS will be viewed in a more positive light, for sure. In fact, if money is coming in above expenses, and the shareholders get to share in it--all the past sins, lies and misdirection might be moved to the back burner.

On the other hand, if a liar who has been lying for a number of years, suddenly tells the truth once--he does not immediately lose his reputation as a dishonest person.

Also, rehabilitation of the reputation of Wave, its CEO and CFO may take awhile--given the long history of trading in deception.

But, we'll have to see, won't we?

Any guesses about Q4 revenue? I am guessing it will fall below $7M.

Best--Blue
