JDN, As a long-time long, I know how you feel. That said, I'd rather that our management team concentrate on growing and developing the business. Better to be valuable and not-yet-discovered than be well-known as full of "hot air". Think about it: we know better than most analysts what the potential revenues and growth are here. Worst-case scenario, we have a piece of a pretty good systems integrator with extra yk2 revenue; best-case, we have a piece of a progressive, growing company that will be much larger and more valuable in a few years. Not a bad hold either way. You know why you bought and held this stock, sooner or later others will come to the same conclusions...hang in there!

JDN --- you hit the nail on the head,,, as we head into the 4 range (?) again I hope for another trade. Only the traders,options recipients are making a buck. As to the comment above you there are many ways a company can influence price and TAVA has done many in the past through PP, dilution, etc. Do people actually believe a no news policy does not effect price? If so they should buy a CD! Though they should not happen again the PP was done in a very ugly manner. Do not forget many of those shares went out cheaply too which effect price. Yes I have a few shares in the red,, but trading this issue has mae life good and I hope it ranges forever. The TAVA worshippers will keep trading profitable unless the stock price rises to where it should be.

JDN --- excitement builds for a nice pop IF this support at 5 fails and we see the 4 5/8 area.again.. That is where it becomes a true buying op again... and will make a nice sell in the 5 1/2 range... maybe insiders will buy a little in that range too....

First of all, the TAVA principals ARE shareholders, some very significant shareholders, and they DO care about enhancing shareholder value. What they don't care about (rightfully so) is getting wrapped up in "spiky" growth in the share value via questionable PR's and hype induced self-promotion. Thankfully, TAVA is hopefully not that type of stock anymore. If that's what you're interested in, dump your TAVA and get into the Internet stocks or Medical Devices/Biotechs... I believe JJ, Kevin, and the rest of the crew are focused on a steady growth in the share value, not a big pop followed by the bubble bursting. I think they are doing the right thing for TRUE longs, which certainly includes themselves. I also totally and completely disagree that the stock price "is depressed" at present. It is somewhat undervalued, but hardly in the crapper. The $10-14 price we once saw was an anomaly and unwarranted. If it is as "depressed" as many think, why aren't people buying shares by the bucketful? Personally, a chance to buy at $5 a stock with a medium term price target of about $6-8 and longer term of $10-12 is a bargain. Those of you looking for instant wealth, go play the lottery or show big cojones and short YHOO, AMZN, and AOL <g>. But please, if you are really long on this company, stay out of the day-to-day, hype-a-minute game. Always a bad thing in the long run.
