While I am a long time holder of TAVA and have made money on two previous sales, I have bought back in and holding. I felt we would see the stock challenge 20 or so by the end of 1998. As of today I am becoming a bit skeptical. It seems stuck and I see nothing that the company is doing to get it moving in the right direction. Jenkin's bombed the other day on CNBC and it shouldn't have happened. They also seem not to know how to handle PR. While I still like the company I am beginning to wonder if my money would be better off in another issue that doesn't move up a buck and change and then move right back down. While I rarely post I also know the majority of TAVA holders do not appreciate questioning the company, but what's up????? I need some positive reinforcement!!!!! John, this is not directed to you but a general statement.

Cautionary note to new investors in TAVA. A short is an investor who makes his/her money when a stock price goes down. That is the reason they must continue to plant every negative seed they can about the given company that is their current target. They have a perfect right to adopt that strategy...one which fervently prays that a company will fail (how patriotic). To that end, they will tell half-truths, exaggerate, outright lie, and occasionally libel. They rarely have a technical understanding of the company they're trashing. No matter what company they're talking about, they ALWAYS say that management is 'hyping' the stock. Obviously with TAVA, quite the opposite is true. Longs have been begging for 'hype' for months. No, if there's any hyping, it's all coming from the shorts. They also ALWAYS go after financials. I dare say, there does not exist a balance sheet in the entire investor universe that a knowledgeable accountant couldn't trash on one level or another. Bear in mind, that a recent IPO, not only had no fiscal track record, but had no clear sense of when or whether it would EVER turn a profit...yet the street bid it up to absurd levels. The best revenge is that shorts rarely win the game. Longs are far more successful over time. Remember, with TAVA, you're buying future earnings. If they're as substantial as most longs think they will be, any cash problems will be a moot point! I don't say all this for the TAVA thread. There are enough educated TAVA investors here to easily refute everything shorts say. There are other threads, however, that are not as lucky...learn from your experiences here. John: Thanks for your continuous stream of relevant & 'hype-less' Y2K information.

You make it quite obvious Mr. Mansfield that you don't know what you are talking about. For your information, companies that are doing imbedded chip problems have become associated with TAVA in one form or another. You will be amazed to find out how many companies are in bed with TAVA, including the company that just received a huge award from the Govt. for Y2K problems including embedded chip remediation. It was not publicly announced, but I happen to know that a deal was made with TAVA to work on that segment of the problem. Norm Magic
