Dear Mr. Simpson, In the end you don't lose money until you sell or the co. goes bankrupt. I have been through both of those experiences. We're dealing with a company that's been around for awhile, before there was any U.S. law about a V-chip. The biggest obstacle I see is that we're dealing with a Canadian exchange. Sorry guys, but I think we would be doing much better on the Naz or the Amex. I first got in at just over $3.00 well over 18 months ago. I'm here till the co. goes to hell in a handbasket or buys me some new toys for the missus. This was hard earned money I put into TVL, but I've done the same thing in Vegas. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. My wife thinks it's a crime that I put our money into this co. and brother, I am now doing the time. Salut, radarluv

Doug your remarks/complaints could be said about almost every company at a similar times. When has any IR dept. told you to hurry up and sell? They are almost always bullish on their clients' share. Personally, I've probably spoken to IR less than 5 times over the last 3 years (and the last time was over 3 months ago). That's who you call when you want clarification of facts you obtain on your own. Or want literature sent to you. Not investment advice. IR people are NOT financial advisors, nor market experts. They're supposed to tell you what the company wants the public to know. Who can tell you what the market will do with this information? NO ONE! But, who better to ask about the going ons at TVL besides TVL and their IR? NO ONE! Your warning is welcome though, as everyone SHOULD do their own DD, and risk only what they can afford to lose. If you are a short-term investor, then too bad for you at this time on TVL. If you are a long term investor, then the concept of long term investing v.s. daily fluctuations should be re-visited. So unless your investment account number is public information, no one is forcing you to buy, sell, or hang on to anything Are you making a recommendation to everyone to sell? nabeel

Douglas, I guess our mistakes will provoke us to do better next time, won't they. I started buying in June of last year at just over a buck and have been buying ever since. Lo & behold we are right back to just over a buck. Big deal! Warren Buffet doesn't buy all of his stock right at the bottom. One thing I learned fighting in the ring is: when you take a good shot and it knocks you down for awhile: Don't blame anyone but your self. If you would have been better trained you would have knocked the other guy down. It's just the learning curve. ALSO just because you went down doesn't mean your going to lose the fight!
