you seem to be whining worse than Gretsky- this is not a kids game Most of what is hurting this stock is beyond TVL's control ie encoding and enforcing existing laws and with Clinton's problems he may have problems

Doug - Have been extremely busy and continue to be. First off, this thought of the Silent Running group as paid shills is not worth comment. I removed you from my list, as others have done by the nature of your negative posts. No conspiracy here. I coined the phase "Silent Running" as a group of like mined investors who see the world in the bigger way and hope to benefit from it. TVL V-chip technology gives everyone an opportunity to be involved in adding to a safer, more balanced world by putting some control in the hands of responsible parents who have been asking for it this for many years. Tim Collings saw it, he acted on it, it is coming down the road, sooner than later. Here's something you can now quote. "YOU JUST CAN'T STOP THE VOLCANO". It may be cool and quiet on the surface, but underneath,it is red hot and moving in all directions. As you seem to have a thing for me, yes, I said "Hold that Tiger" and I continue to hold. I felt about TVL at $1, $2,$3,$4, and $5.50 ( You who are new can look up that last closing price, it was an intra-day high) the same as I do today. You and I differ in that I am a patient investor who has done my own DD, asked a lot of related questions of management and others, no doubt far beyond your scope or imagination, feel great about my investment and a not very concerned about my short term losses, as I am averaged at $2. I will be there when the future arrives, hopefully heavier weighted than at the present time. I do not have my life savings in TVL (as some actually do, believe it or not). I am intelligent enough to know that if the picture changes, I will look into fully before I knee-jerk and bail. These are hard earned dollars that are not currently performing the way you would have them perform. Sorry, but the big picture is in my view and maybe not yours. TVL going forward has massive up side by the nature of who they are and what they are trying to accomplish. All the short term bitching and complaining will do little to change today's reality. And the reality is that the networks are dragging their asses, even not so much as encoding is a huge task, but they are being mandated by congress and it pisses them off. They want to control the ball. I think the biggest mistake in all of this was voluntary encoding. Set a bloody deadline and get it all together. This new industry is based on the betterment of society. We will soon see how it all plays out. So, asking me what I think means little. I have never pretended to know more than anyone else. I ask many people many questions, sometimes the same question in varied ways. I always talk with companies directly at times. Warren Buffet taught us that. I try to talk to the secretary who answers the phone. Has saved me losses in the past. You'd be surprised what you can find out with a bit of creativity and guile!! But really, ask yourself what you think, what you know, what makes sense, what seems right. The answer is very clear cut on this one. Hope you continue to hold. My mid sell level remains $10 and my final exit point for TVL is still $20. Hope this has been of help. As always, GOLONG!!
