I was watching the history channel the other night and it was about AG BELL, and how much trouble he had convincing everyone that his invention could change the way the world communicated. It took almost 3 years since his discovery, that it became accepted and even then he faced competition from Western Union...whom in the end had to pay royalities to Bell for patent violations. Like Digitcom and IP-Telephony, many are saying it's too early or it's not ready yet...HA, Humbug! Right now is the absolute time to be in Ip-Telephony specifically DGIV...Why? Obvious I say..our CEO..is making deals in the places where economies have been hit the hardest and offering them an efficient and economic alternative to the costly business of communications... moreover, the respective countries also benefit from the relationships/partnerships at a time when benefits come at a premium... furthermore, a little $US goes a long way, to capitalize on our strong Dollar what better place to make deals than in struggling economies where the dollar is King... Looking forward to the future and our incomparable CEO's return... on another note, i really don't think it will matter where we go... We need not run, hide or change our names.... DGIV will change many a mind about who we really are and what we really stand for...unfortunately for many it will be too late for them... r1

~protege <<If together we want to make things more efficient for the new investor, we need to start making distinctions between the purposes of our posts.>> Isn't this distinction spelled out pretty plainly in the "header"? The purposes of our posts are exactly as specified. When I go to check on a new stock, I see what my choices are, read the "introduction" and then see which thread I need to read. If I am bright enough to do that...then anyone should be. It is pretty clear which thread will give a new investor the "meat" of the DGIV matter. BTW...as an aside. When things start hopping around here, the bs will calm down a bit I would think. No one (YES, including me) wants to dissuade anyone from buying into this stock. I just hate to loose what we have on this thread. It has been the "tie that binds" for the last couple of less that wonderful months. I vote to keep this "home" as it is. You asked for opinions...there's mine. E'Lane...

Some more thoughts, based on some PMs I have been exchanging with a fellow investor who knows a lot about the business. We need to keep our focus on the road ahead. DGIV is a visionary company with a visionary leader in Jimmy Chin. With Digitcom we are sitting on something big, and big things take time. We can't become a multinational company overnight. Someone posted to the thread that DGIV can't compete in the U.S. with the major telcos. That is true, but the fact is that DGIV doesn't want to compete in the U.S. Why compete here when the competition is so tough that it's difficult to turn a profit from a sale? The big telcos in the U.S. can roll over a small company by covering low margins in this emerging field from other, more profitable, cost centers they do business in. DGIV only has a few segments that it can compete in. Niche marketing is a wise and powerful tool for the little guy, and Jimmy is doing it just right. I think Jimmy's strategy, although thrown topsy-turvy by world events out of our control (eg. Russia, Thailand, etc) will come back to us in a big big way in the future. Is there a payoff today? Probably not much. But, for forward thinkers, who can see beyond their nose, there definitely will be. Some thoughts on the financials we are expecting, and to reinforce what has been said before. Don't hang your hat on the "numbers" for their own sake. I doubt if the numbers will show anything that will drive the price way up. I'm sure the company will have something to show us when the numbers come out, but don't expect huge profits, because all the money is probably being reinvested to build DGIV's long term network. I just want to forewarn everyone not to get your hopes up unreasonably high for the numbers per se. It is the event of producing financials that is important, not the numbers themselves. On the other hand, I expect upcoming contract announcements to build strength once they're announced, because they should include numbers, so they will have a little more meaning to the average investor who might not understand all of the technology. Here are some keys to attracting new investors: 1. good financials. 2. exciting growth-oriented contracts. 3. acquisitions 4. good informative posts that present the facts We can't control the first three, but the last we can do something about. That is why we may want to make use of the information thread, or maybe a new thread, to which I will post this message. Thanks to the person who PM'd me to discuss a lot of these thoughts.
