AJ,
You apparently did not even come close to understanding what I said. Therefore, I will re-state it in simpler terms, and at the same time refute your post point for point, although you will soon see that it really isn't necessary.
Let's start with your original comment. You said that you "wonder about the viability of their (TSIG's) conservative marketing business plan" since nobody else in the industry is taking the same approach. (NOTE: Please remember the use of the word "marketing" in your sentence - it will come back to haunt you.) I restated your conclusion as: "Using your logic (which is that if something isn't being done then it must be a flawed idea), ...." As far I as I can tell, my interpretation of your statement is correct. Please let me know if you meant to imply something else.
Assuming my inference is correct (which it is), I then gave examples of people that were doing something that had not been done. My examples were Henry Ford, the Wright brothers, Bill Gates, and Amazon.com. Can you agree that these people did something "that had not been done?" Keep in mind that a new application of an old idea is still something that "had not been done." Using your logic, they must have had bad ideas. Essentially, AJ, that is what you said. Perhaps you should speak more clearly if that was not your intention.
You attempted to refute my post by making statement like "you are comparing market pioneer stories…," "Ford stole his ideas from barrel makers…," and "Gates was riding IBM's coattails…." My question to you is: What the hell does this have to do with the fact that they all did something that had not been done? The answer: absolutely nothing! As far as I could tell, you completely missed my point and instead brought up irrelevant information. Therefore, your entire response to my post can be disregarded, since it is completely off the topic of my post.
However, I did say I would refute you post point for point, so here goes:
<<< you are comparing market pioneer stories to one out of a dozen competitor in an established market.>>>
Please tell me who the competitors are in the MusicCardTM market. Plus, what is your point? The fact that my "stories" were about pioneers does not diminish the fact that these pioneers (and TSIG) are doing something that hasn't been done.
<<<besides, for every pioneer success story, there are hundreds of failures.>>>
True, there are failures. However, using your logic, there would be no successes since it would be silly to try something that hadn't been done because it would never work. AJ, you probably would have told Edison to give up that silly idea of a lightbulb. Nothing risked, nothing gained, as they say.
<<< your welcome to disagree with me, but not with such irrelevant reasoning. >>>
Your reasoning is irrelevant, AJ.
<<< Ironically, your examples have historic flaws as well that indicate the power of marketing, not invention.>>>
Now you are proving *MY* point!!!! TSIG IS USING A NEW MARKETING METHOD TO SELL AN OLD PRODUCT (i.e., CDs)!!!! Let's hear it for the power of marketing!
<<< Ford stole his ideas from barrel makers, and succeeded less from mass production, and more by forcing one model with no options at time when cars were all custom made. >>>
Your point is COMPLETELY irrelevant. What does that have to do with the fact that Ford tried something new and succeeded?
<<< Gates was riding IBM's coattails, and his leveraging of that advantage with marketing strategies was his genius. >>>
You keep using the word "marketing." Maybe there is something to the new marketing idea of TSIG. But again, what does your comment have to do with my point? I bet you would have told Gates that his marketing strategies were worthless.
<<< As for the Wright Brothers, it was mostly dumb luck that they never profited from, >>>
If only TSIG could have such dumb luck......Remember, air travel has changed the world almost as much as computers, IMO. Plus, I am willing to bet that TSIG will be profitable.
<<< promoted by newspapermen who love a good story over relevant fact as many Europeans achieved and marketed the same feat that year. >>>
Again, that marketing word. Isn't TSIG about a great new marketing method? All this talk about the great advantages of innovative marketing schemes is making you sound like a TSIG long and a hypester. You better watch out before you ruin your basher image! (Of course, your topic is completely irrelevant anyway, so I am not sure why I bothered to take the time to respond.)
AJ, you aren't swimming in the kiddy pool anymore - so watch out before you drowned. Also, be assured that you will not be allowed to bash this stock without merit. If, however, you do have a serious comment regarding this stock, I welcome your input whether it is positive or negative.
