How do you know that DVNTF IS for real? I'm not writing to say that you are right because you could absolutely be wrong! But, if you are going to say that they are for real, then please give tell us what you know. Are you saying that this security software does exist? ARe you also saying that the recent pr about a deal with a "major telecom" is NOT bogus? Help us out here because I still don't know what to make of this company. ... do you get my point? I'm sorry if you don't, but the point is that we do not know anything? Well, yes. I know that I lost money on a "Canadian Hype Stock" and in hindsight I researched through the hype and discovered why. I am not going to repeat this all because I don't even remember. If you reread my posts here and on TIPIF, you will see find my reasoning, some of which was: 1) new CEO buys 500,000 shares !!! WOW !!! Great buy signal... hype, hype, hype: I went through the gov't filings, which at that time WERE POSTED on the SEC Edgar (why aren't they anymore???) and the fine print said j.Banks made a non-recourse loan to the new CEO to buy the shares... blah, blah, blah. 2) certain newletter writers said this was a great stock... certain newsletter writers later popped up in court cases alleging stock manipulation. 3) certain Canadian exchanges have a lot of "hypers" because of lax rules. 4) etc, etc, etc... In the end, I have seen a lot of publicity but no reality... "been there, done that." As far as I am concerned, I've proved my case over the past couple of years. If you want proof, find it yourself and then convince me.
