HI Gary, looks like you were wise to hold TVIN to reach and exceed 4.00 a share. Now up to $5.00, and with todays announcement of TVI Corporation has having made the Washington Posts top 200 list, we should have added exposure and even higher prices. I am pulling all my sells that are under $6.00, as I think with any luck we are headed to $7.00 real soon. Look at the numbers below and tell me what you think?! Also, their first ever conference call in conjunction with the 1st quarters earnings release is scheduled for this Wed. I have to believe being the first conference call, good things will be said. What's your current horizon?
