ALL RIGHT, LISTEN UP FOLKS: I've got some explaining to do.
After dgivinvestor's most recent appearance on the thread (Friday, July 31st), I sent him a PM, hoping to use my lack of reputation on SI, to get behind the lines, and figure out his motives. Well, for what its worth folks, I believe I have exposed them. Here goes:
Take note that when larry erupted on the thread last Friday, besides a few flames, his message was that now he was back to help get the share price rallying. "Who does he think he is?" you ask. Well, he has stated numerous times on the thread before that he use to be a partner in DGIV, that he is one of the largest shareholders, and that he has an MBA in marketing. Given these three things, I expressed some allegiance towards him, and began probing for some explanations, in hopes of figuring out why this guy, who seems to have his entire life wrapped up in dgiv, likes this stock so much, and why he acts the way he does on the thread.
Soon after I began to ask more specific questions of him, larry didn't want my inquiries anymore, and so he told me he was busy and stopped responding to them. This still left me wondering, "why has this guy allowed himself to have this image?" My conclusion: money, it had to be money. I remembered that on Friday he said he was back to get the share price moving upward and knew that this would mean money for him. Bingo, I thought, but the question remained, how is dgivinvestor going to increase the demand for shares?
Without my being able to ascertain the answer to this question, trading resumed on Monday. I sat down in front of my computer for the first time that day at about a half hour before trading expired, only to discover we were up 15% on the day with abnormal volume and no news. So, what caused the increase? Was it dgivinvestor's appearance on the thread, bringing in anticipation buying, proving that some do assign significance to his posts? Or was it just a coincidence? Maybe we rallied because it was the first day of trading in August... some DGIV longs could have gotten paid recently, so they decided to accumulate. No one knows for sure.
As I sat before my computer just before the closing bell, I began to go through the posts on our thread. After getting through all of them, I was surprised to see that larry had not posted once all day... very peculiar indeed, given his persistence on Friday. Next, I checked my e-mail, and to my surprise, there was a message from him regarding his SI status.
Folks, dgivinvestor got suspended from SI after his actions on Friday night, apparently for exceeding the number of posts allowed in a specific time frame, as defined by SI TOS. That is why he is not returning your PM's, and that is why he has not posted since.
Through e-mail, larry and I have been chatting. Since our conversations, I have formed my own opinion about him, of which I am entitled to. Now, assuming that dgivinvestor's posts deserve merit (which, IMO, they do), the answer to the above question concerning a rally in share price caused by larry's words and actions, becomes more obvious. He intended to do it just like anyone else on SI that has a following (be it a public following, lurker following, or combination thereof). Similar to other informed thread leaders across the SI boards, in an effort to encourage anticipation buying, Larry intended to post subtle allusions as to what he thought might be the reason for the lack of news lately.
Most of you would call this "hype", I don't. To me, its all a matter of perspective. You folks have made it clear that you use to like hype, but now you don't, because you think its what led to the decline in share price from $8 to $2.50. Well, I agree, in general, it does not benefit the longs when others buy on speculation and sell on news. But, what if that news is of such great magnitude, that only a fool would sell after reading it? What happens if the news is so extraordinary, that those who bought in anticipation of it, decide to hold their dgiv shares in search of growth and subsequent greater returns?
I'll tell you what I think happens. I think you end up with a smaller float, and a higher base to spring off of when the news comes out; two good things in my book.
And so, due to the fact that I believe larry's conclusions about why dgiv may have been keeping a lid on things lately, and because I think the potential reason for withholding news is of tremendous nature, I am advising anyone who is willing to listen that they should immediately consider buying (more) dgiv.
Having said all that, I would like to expand on my post from earlier this week regarding the initials C.A.N. Logically, there must be some justification as to why this viable company would just stop releasing information. Let's assume that dgiv's long awaited news is being released strategically, and that it may contain more than one major issue. "Why more than one issue?" you ask. Well, Jimmy has not stopped working, and its been approximately seven weeks since the last PR. IMO, there's no way that the signed contract with Germany is the last deal that Jimmy has closed. Besides, common sense implies that when you combine good news, with even greater news, the release becomes a more powerful price mover.
Given the above reasoning, I believe that to create a frenzy of buying, the strategic plan is to simultaneously announce a significant Contract(s), a major Acquisition, and a Nasdaq listing.
Bottom line: If you believe that the conclusions I've drawn from the opinions that dgivinvestor has shared with me explains why Digitcom has been lacking news of late, buy (more) now, while we remain at these ridiculously low levels. Take it for what its worth folks, you decide.
Sorry so long, thanks for listening, ~protege
BTW, on Monday, during AM trading, I will be announcing when I think dgiv will be releasing news. No, I do not mean date and time. I am referring to the event that I think will trigger the news release we have all been waiting for. |
