Ivan, why would I make it up? It says exactly what I said it says. Karl still has a position in TAVA. He runs a clean newsletter, he puts an asterisk next to every recommendaiton he personally holds a position in, TAVA still has that asterisk. I can't say whether he holds the same position or whether he has sold any. In my experience, Karl gets conservative if there has been a strong runup in price. He just issued a sell on Rogue Wave which hit 16, although he is still high on the company itself. I would not read too much into Karl's downgrade other than to signal some profit taking in a company whose story is still unfolding. DocStone Karl is celar that the Street still hasn't thought through the implications of the KO deal.

This may have been written before the most recent move.

Buy/Hold Rating in VR: I first featured TAVA at $2.13. When it dipped in the $1 range (along with ABTX) I was ranting about buying the shares because of Jenkin's assurance that his plan was working. When the shares doubled, I urged subscribers to average up. As the price continued to rise, I gave it ratings like "Strong buy"/Buy more"/ Don't Sell your TAVA". I've done everything I can to get subscribers positioned. So I've got to think of my long term subscribers in assigning ratings. They get "hold". In the next phase ($10-$20), we will see TAVA rising $4-$5 some weeks. It's tough to hold when you're sitting on $1 stock. But that's the thing to do. If you're new to TAVA, then by all means, "Buy". Hence, my "Buy/Hold" as the market enters the "Spring Volatiles".
