Tony--Please do not put words in my mouth. I never was a detractor and I have not been swayed in any way. I believe every thing I have posted was correct with the exception of my comments of Scott L., and believe it more strongly now.The recent "news" reinforced my beliefs. Thank you. John

Tony - Me too. Just because I bought 1900 shares for quick trading does not mean that I have been swayed. As soon as this stock hits 10, I will be out of here for a $7500 profit. I still stand by my opinion about this company. I only agree that this company has found some clever marketing strategy that will allow them to get a foot in the door at large F500 companies. In the short term, those kind of news will move the stock up, and that's why I gambled with a small amount of money. Long term, the future of this company is still very murky. Until they prove to me that they can win some meaningful remediation contracts, my view of this company will remain negative. At least, I am glad that you took my negative posts as being constructive.

Contracts: TAVA speaks of engagements. A company engages them to do a certain amount of work, such as an assessment. Extensions of those initial engagements lead out of the original work assignment. Sun Oil engaged TAVA to do Y2K assessment. That led to the engagement to do further work. Matsushita engaged TAVA to do some FAB One work. That led on to $6 mil. of work. When TAVA "bids" on a project, it is often a negotiation based on previous work TAVA has done, and TAVA is often the sole "bidder". This style of doing business is fluid, and causes anxiety for investors. TAVA says that for each $1 in initial engagement work it is landing, it is leading on to another $9, and this is high profit margin work. Curl up with $1 gets you $9 more rule, and let the warm fuzzy feeling work.
