TZ - Wrong again brocolli breath. BTW, are you ever planning to answer the legitimate question's posed to you on your beloved Acacia? Merkwerks?, GIT? Mr. Browne's and Mr. Schmidt's sales, how they derive patent values on patents they don't have yet? I could go on, but I'll stop there.
I think the joint advertisement (you don't think TVL paid for the whole thing did you, given that the distributors receive quite a benefit for it?) For your information, BWeek is in its final run past the editor.
As I have always said in the past (I think you missed most of my old posts) and I'll say again, I've always believed that TVL would only truly appreciate when definite orders are received, sales/income numbers are posted quarterly and the like. Between here and there, there's not much to hang one's hat on and the share price will move the way of the prevailing wind, sometimes up/sometimes down. All of my models were for the 12 months following the encoding and initial selling of decoders, and I stand by them. In fact, it looks like the margins could even be higher given FX moves over the last 12 months.
At this juncture, we've got to be much closer to sales and income than at any other point, but we'll see over the next few months how it pans out.
So the rookie critics take cheap shots at the advert (since it's all they can do) and fail to grasp the significance that TVL has commercialized it's technology --not an easy feat (in fact, Acacia's never been able to organize themselves managerially, financially or strategically to come close to commercializing anything. They'd kill to be 1/10th as close as TVL to making money on any one of their cash-sucking projects)
So, despite the criticism, TVL has sourced all the manufacturing, is producing now, they designed, they tested, the garnered support, they secured widespread quality retail distribution and quality wholesale distribution and planned an entire marketing launch. So, TZ, go ahead and launch a few more snide, meaningless remarks about their inactivity and the smoke and mirrors they're supposedly using and their phantom products and marketing arrangements, technological approach --whatever -- etc....
The simple fact is that their product will be on shelf's in large retail outlets in the USA in short order. The marketing strategy is researched, they have professional partners who have already committed quite a bit of time and money and see a real opportunity. Each sale will produce very nice profits for them. Will it sell? Research suggests it will, but we'll see. I think you'll have to have most of the encoding before it reaches critical mass, but that's my guess. Don't forget, there's quite a bit of room to play with prices in order to crank up demand too. So there's plenty of variables to be tuned over time.
But TZ, your voice is all sounding a bit hollow and irrelevant at this point, but go ahead if you must to satisfy yourself. I give you credit for a great call and you've obviously profited (although my long % profits are as great as your short profits --I'm a long-term investor-I guess that means after tax mine are quite a bit higher), but not for posting spurious, misleading criticisms (amidst some accurate criticisms, which I have also spoken of) and ducking from the facts when presented to you or inquiries into your cash-sucking favorite (which reminds me, have you cut them another check over the last week to plug the many holes?).
Your bobbing and weaving and feigned (I assume) memory lapses are getting a bit old.
PPPPPPHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTT!
