....."pooh! no fair! wavo goes up 80% and wavx only goes up 20%. why does wavo have almost 3x the market cap of wavx? some day people will understand our little baby. our business model is SO superior to the wavo model it hurts..."
And then, WAVO FALL DOWN AND GO BOOOOM!
Oh well.
They were talking about us in an unremarked way. WAVX is WAVO's biggest NEW DEAL: "WAVO's revenue sharing model." That's really rich. WAVX is, once again, the crux of "their matter" and whether or not "they will matter" in many cases...
So what if one of T.V.'s retards says WAVO is a Fraud-U-Net. He didn't bother to explain his reasoning. Not enough time in his "bite." WAVO will survive. And WAVX will buoy them.
Read on for proof....
