Disregarding the general trend of the markets, is there anything that anyone is aware of in the near future that may cause people to actually start buying this stock? I know that is a novel idea, but maybe people will actually want to buy into TAVA if they can release some news that refers to $. TAVA announces their partnerships and contracts (occasionally) but never offers any insight into how much revenue these contracts represent. Even at the cc, Jenkins and company refused to offer this guidance. This bothers me, along with the fact that TAVA seems unusually uninterested in their stock; and I am not just saying this due to the recent decline. Even when things were going well a month or so ago, TAVA was painfully shy about releasing news etc. Alot of people are very high on TAVA management. That is great and one of the reasons I own this stock. I am wondering though. A great management team not only does wonderful things for their company but also for their stock! Many people refer to HYPE and how that is so bad but frankly I would MUCH PREFER to have a little TAVA hype than what TAVA puts out there. Yes, the markets are in bad shape and yes the Y2K sector is in bad shape but how is it that TAVA is doing so much worse than both! I am going to go throw up now.

Rick: Some indices are still up double digits for the year, but the Russell 2000 Small Cap index is up 2% for the year. It was up 9% at 3/31 (the end of Q1), so it's down 7% in the last 2 months. I think the Russell 2000 index is a good gauge of the general small cap environment. After the last couple days, small cap deals abound. Tava is a good example. There's cash in the treasury, rising profit margins, major new contract announcements every 45 days or so, and relatively little institutional coverage. Not quite a CANSLIM stock yet, but we'll get there - unless, of course, the institutional road show is overly successful.
