Jeffrey,
I have no qualms about answering that question. I have not spoken to any officer or employee of TAVA proper. I have had maybe two conversations with Liolios.
No, I do not work in the securities industry, nor have I been paid, or provided any consideration for TAVA. I have never shorted a stock in my life (but I'm considering a few selection prior to Y2K... :0)
In fact, I was one of the early skeptics of TAVA from last fall. It required 5 months of reading this thread and studying the diligence provided by the gifted individuals investing in this stock before I bought my first position in the stock.
As for my situation, it is a matter of interpretation and that will be for a court to decide.
Again, there is no paid (or otherwise) connection between myself, TAVA, or any party with a vested interest in the performance of this stock.
Hope that is clear enough for you all. And I'm truly sorry that others have been unable to contain their harassing posts against me to the appropriate threads.
I will no longer be posting to the TAVA thread folks. But let me leave you with a few thoughts gleaned from my experience in the stock market these past 3 years.
Never fall in love with a company/stock. The stock market is a business.
Never get too close to a company's management. You lose objectivity and focus. You begin to overlook potential derogatory information in you quest to justify your original investment.
Never ignore the appropriate filings of SEC mandated information when doing your diligence. (TAVA is so cool with how they follow this relentlessly) You may love the company, the technology, whatever, but if you ignore the fact that the company should have filed various SEC forms, you're heading for troubled waters, especially if the claims are of a material basis.
And finally, remember what is more important is Return OF your capital, NOT the return ON your capital. Never take a loss unecessarily and do not over use your margin account without appropriate stops in place. (but those very stops are a target for Mmkrs to walk the stock and trigger them)
And most of all folks, good luck. I have truly enjoyed participating on this thread and I admire the minds that are work here. I have learned a hell of a lot from almost all of you (minus a few individuals... :0)
Regards,
Ron |
