Art, Is it just me or is it funny how the NEGATIVE posters seem to come out of the woodwork when IATV starts a move in the positive direction? I think you have your cause and effect backwards... what happens is stock makes a move, some longs post about how great things are, and then the "negative" posters respond. However, I don't think of myself as negative, I think of myself as the voice of reason. If you've been on the thread for a while, you would remember a time when I got in an argument with Champolion because he posted some unsubstantiated negative "facts" about IATV and I kept after him until he posted his sources which didn't support half of what he said. I've also taken issue with some things that other "negative" posters have said and responded to them here. Likewise, like I said to Art yesterday, there was a time a couple months back when it seemed every AT&T and ATHM press release was posted here with a comment about how great it was for IATV (even though it had nothing to do with us). Or that one Friday when RNWK said that they had a "big announcement" for Monday and someone posted on this board that the announcement could involve IATV (which was a ludicrous posting). That type of stuff I'm quick to take issue with as well. My 2 issues with this company are the executive compensation plan and the lack of a rollout. I am a firm believer in the product and the technology and I think that if they get the product out the door on time the company will be a resounding success. The longer they wait, the lower the odds of success. As soon as there's a release outlining a definite rollout date, I'm back in long. If the 2Q numbers come out and the press release states that they plan on sticking to their 3Q rollout for Fox Sports, then I will in all likelihood go long at that point as well. I would never short this company, and think it foolish to short a company that is one news release away from hitting 20. -Mike
