No, logic is knowing that even incredibly intelligent people sometimes say something stupid. Well, actually that wouldn't be logic since logic, like mathematics, follows strict rules. Let's just call it knowledge. And I never said you could talk the stock down. I said you could try.

Well I just proved you have said something that wasn't true. That makes me wonder how far you will go in regards to your agenda.
Your posts support my intuitions.

This is a glorious weekend. Chill out and relax. Your opinion is valued here. If you have concerns about IATV and rightly you should, then stand back and don't make any committments to invest in the stock. IATV is a speculative play at this time. Anything can happen and investors can get wiped out. This should be known by anyone investing in IATV - if not, they should get out immediately or stand pat. Those investors currently holding their positions have the guts to hopefully see the fruition of their investments long-term. As Custer once said: "No guts, no glory". If your looking for a $12 price to reenter, why not buy the stock at $6 if the technology is going to languish and not be launched. From the many years of stock and commodity investing, I will tell you that this NAZ small listed issue called IATV would have already tanked back into single digits
and would not be a $500 million market cap stock today if something was seriously amiss. Today, the street doesn't inch stocks lower if something is wrong - the street takes these stocks out in the backyard and they get shot - seriously shot. If and when that happens on high volume, then the story obviously has changed and we will see IATV in single digits again. But I doubt it. Just making my bet. That's all anyone investing can do after proper DD. Good luck to you.

<When you say what I post is incredibly stupid, you de facto imply I am incredibly stupid. Isn't that logic?>

Champ,

I agree that when Art posted that your comments were incredibly stupid, that he by de facto implied that you are incredibly stupid. It is completely logical to presume that he had no real intentions to call you incredibly stupid, and probably would have just called you stupid, or very stupid. Incredibly stupid are usually saved for the incredibly stupid, and Art specifically mentioned that you were intelligent, therefore not qualifying for the “Incredibly Stupid” category, and automatically slipping to either “Just Stupid and/or Very Stupid”.

Hope I have explained the “Stupid Gauge” in enough detail. Mike Fredericks; if you are reading this and would like me to say the same thing in two or more pages, please let me know.

Skip

If the patents are good enough for you to buy IATV at $12, are you saying that the patents aren't good enough to buy IATV at $15-$16. So that extra $3-$4 makes the company not worth investing in because you have personally determined that the company's patents are only worthwhile at the $12/share price for you to consider reentering. I don't understand. Please explain. Thanks.
