<< I have been watching the 7 3/4 point for a while. The rupture of this support point is my signal to SHORT TAVA. I believe we will go down to 5.>> It better get down there fast, because I am going to rent a truck to load it up ... But I seriously doubt it will breach 6-3/4 ...

Maybe there is whisper on a significant downside earnings surprise. Just conjecture, amazed at how this stock has dropped given the names and number of contracts coming through the pike of late. Wish all luck!

How many times do I have to say it. This company has turned out to be a joke, with a clown (Jenkins) leading the way. When he didn't perform for his company on TV (and don't give me that camera shy excuse), that was the initial tell-tale sign for me. That told me that 1)either he didn't have anything good to say about his company or 2) he was too dumb to take advantage of the situation. In either case, it told me it was time to get out. Announcement after announcement and, with a stock in sharp decline, no dollar figures (except one) are attached to the press releases. This will be a disappointing earnings number in September. I will look to reenter around $4 or $5 after that announcement.

The best laid plans? I was a very short term investor in Tava today having purchased some $8 1/8 and $8 stock only to be stopped out 5 minutes later at 7 3/4. Stock tumbled as many stops were elected and panic set in. I was frankly surprised that it was able to close at $7 3/4. Now the waiting game starts. What has always fascinated me is the fact that this stock is now back into an area that many on this board said it would never see again. Based on the news of the past 6 months the fundamentals of this company are much better today than they were 6 months ago. So why is this stock going down? For those of you that are new to the investing scene and those that are old pro's, there are lessons to learn here. Remember, it is ok to make mistakes, just do not continue to make the same one's over and over. Small cap stocks that have little investment firm/analyst/ Wall Street coverage are trading stocks 95% of the time. If you think that you can get into that 5% that should buy one of these unknown companies and put it in the lock box you will sleep in the streets 95% of the time.
