The bottom line is how the earnings come in and what do they do after year 2000. If JJ did great today, the stock might trade up, but if earnings do not come in, it will be back down, as simple as that. If the earnings come in, it will trade up regardless of how JJ did today ...

>>> The person who oughta be having a noose fit right now is whoever set this thing up and did the prep work/advance work with CNBC and the marketing or IR person who did the content prep. Absolutely incompetent and should be canned immediately<<< AMEN. Unexcuseable.

"The person who oughta be having a noose fit right now is whoever set this thing up and did the prep work/advance work with CNBC and the marketing or IR person who did the content prep.

If anyone out there has contacted him, please give us his take on the CNBC appearance. Bruce

Absolutely on the money, Rick. The secret to this type of quickie media exposure is SMILE, CONFIDENCE, & EASE OF MANNER. Save the in-depth responses for The News Hour. I'm very disappointed. This was, as you say, critical as an opportunity blown, not necessarily for the long run. But the long run is made of a lot of these little windows, and TAVA needs a pro team working on these little windows, prepping their captain. Gus Guts = 1, Jenkins = 0. ps: Did you see the daytraders getting out too late? Like skydivers bailing through a door too small... M.

Absolutely incompetent and should be canned immediately. I've been involved in these types of things, and preparation makes or breaks them, along with being "loose" right before you go on...and the most common cause of not being "loose" is poor preparation!<< Glad I missed having my worst fears confirmed. As they say here in England, sounds like Tava management 'couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery'. And they think this thread is a 'joke'? Sad. Regards, Bond

Rick, Sadly I have to agree with you. Jenkins performed poorly, apparently not knowing exactly where the camera was (or deliberately avoiding it) and using too much hand movement. He performed just like a backroom lawyer/ex-engineer. Had I been in his place, I would have had pat answers to these questions about daytraders/SI. All he needed to say was that TAVA does not cater to the internet discussions and he has no comment other than making the greatest advantage out of the y2k event to establish long-lasting relationships with clients. He should have directed this interview to areas that he felt were important and not wasted time with idle BS about the fickleness of internet investors. And I have a feeling that in reviewing his performance, he wishes he could start all over again from square one. Of course, this too will pass, and tomorrow will be a new day. So take heart Mr. Jenkins and impress us with earnings this quarter. Regards, Ron
