<I think the current softness in the price of TAVA can be attributed to Jenkins poor presentation on CNBC last week...> I disagree. I made my CNBC post because of what I'd seen on other stocks. Felt 99% sure it would happen with TAVA. TAVA is definitely a "trading" stock now and near-term IMHO. Sold much of my position BEFORE Jenkins spoke because I've seen this trading pattern before. Not just TAVA ... but in my personal experience ... EVERY stock I've been associated with. MY CNBC POST: Message 5045304 Still see this company as great long-term, but would have been a fool to not have made the move when something SO obvious occurred. <A simple statement worked in about the power grid and the possibility of factory floors accross the country coming to a halt would have created the visual images that the people watching the interview could have related to...> How would have you have handled this in 2 minutes? First question/answer taking about a minute ... had to do with "day trading". Second question/answer had to do with "after Y2K". So you wanted him to come in, after answering specific questions, with a full and understood power grid and factory floor story within 20-30 second timeframe? I think many people on this thread had expectations FAR beyond what was reasonable and possible within the allotted timeframe and with the constraints of what questions were asked ... even if Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson or Kevin Costner were the spokespeople. Guess we needed Pamela Anderson, since many look at visual cues and don't pay much attention about what was actually said. Cheryl
