Point is it would be much better to know that Jenkins has some of Buffet's qualities rather than his money. Amen!!.. Of all of the nonsensical musings about Buffett and TAVA, this is the only one that is pertinent. However, I will take this opportunity to submit what I see for TAVA. 1.) TAVA is just entering a window phase wherein it will likely be generating continuing news releases of substance as evidenced by the KO announcement. I'm sure that other companies have taken note and said, "If KO feels the need to review its factory floor operationas, may we should too.. " 2.) These engagements by Fortune 100 companies will excite and interest the street prompting them to support and lift the stock to levels that will permit TAVA to acquire additional engineering firms with relatively little dilution to stock outstanding. These acquisitions will be necessary in order to provide the resources necessary to service customers in a timely and efficient manner. It will also serve to consolidate IIT firms under TAVA's corporate umbrella. 3.) TAVA and Y2K companies will continue to benefit from the general awareness of Y2K, as well as concerns about profitability from other sectors. While other stock sectors may lag, I continue to opine that Y2K stocks of a credible nature, will continue to enjoy street support since this nation's economic survival depends on their ability to assist other companies in resolving their problems. Given that TAVA is one of the few companies out there addriessing Embedded Systems, I suggest that the street will support Jenkins in whatever he requires, so long as he brings home the bacon. JMHO. Regards, Ron

Of course he bought it because he thought the value would go up according to the inexorable laws of supply and demand. Sometimes economic decisions (hell, all decisions) have more than one motivating factor. In my post I was conjecturing that a conceivable element in Buffett's decision might have been a special aspect of the world economic situation that some experts consider alarming-- the conjunction of the arrival of the euro and of y2k. What made it occur to me was, specifically, his taking physical delivery of the silver. I am not the first person to note that this is a little unusual. Would you happen to know whether he took delivery of the silver he purchased thirty years ago? My post was in a conversational spirit, in any case. I didn't offer it as fact. Conjecture is allowed on this thread. You might have less occasion for disapproval if you restrict yourself to the Research Thread.

More silver facts: WB's purchase weighs on my mind because I respect his insight, and wondered what implications it has for the long term, especially given his big positions in manufacturing companies. Manufacturing companies are TAVA's bread and butter. The best I've seen on WB's silver purchase is that the best batteries for use in electric cars are silver-zinc. These are used in space applications. With CA and other states about to require zero-free emissions for some cars, silver-zinc batteries will be the battery of choice, creating demand for silver that will outstrip already dwindling supply. So I don't think the silver purchase is a doomsday call on the stock market. I think it's positioning for an emerging industry that is "mandated" by enviromental concerns.
