TTDS message board

What?...SM your comment makes no sense and is not relevant to the discussion. I don't get it. In my experience, if one cannot intellegently contribute to a conversation they don't contribute at all. Think about it!

I don't understand anything at all. Are you talking to yourself in here or what?

Very funny Michael T. Actually, I (susan) provided information about TritonDS and about the executive management team in a conversation primarilry with Mel. Then on 3-12-08 someone else (Susan) posted a comment using my name. Now I understand that there are several Susan's in the world but thought it was odd that someone would post a comment without clearly distinguishing themselves, so I asked the 2nd Susan why she was doing that. Her remarks made be believe that she really wasn't interested in the conversation about Triton and in fact they were very juvenile. If you look close you can see there is a distinct difference in how I sign my name and more obviously in my comments. My interest is in providing potential investors with information about this company so they can make an informed buying decision. I don't really know why or how this info is associated with M Jordan, but the conversation has been about Triton not her management style. With all the blogs and online options for posting general comments, I don't understand how people are finding this site or why they are using it to post comments not related to the topic being discussed. Just seems odd to me.

Hello, Susan (one of them) Wink

Now I am starting to get the point what was going in here.
I am interested in TTDS because I have been owning some shares for some time. And yesterday they started rising again. I just wonder, whether I am going to see a rise at least to the situation when the stock was around 1 dollar. Though I see only the downtrend in here and nothing more. Is it possible that we are to see an uptrend now? What is your opinion?
Sorry, if you think that my question is silly but I am just starting to get involved in these investment matters.

Michael T. I don't know if anyone can predict with any accuracy how stock is going to do for a start-up company. If you read the hotStocked report they rate this company as a risk and say that only investors with money to lose should invest. I do think Triton has a good product concept and there is also market potential. The problem is that if all it took to be successful was a good idea and potential then we would never have lived through the dotcom meltdown. If we learned anything in that era, it is that it takes a good mamagement team to pull even the best of ideas off. In this case, I have to go back to my earlier comments that the CEO has very poor management skills and virtually no leadership ability, He is cocky and arrogant and really believes that his product, which he can't get anyone to use, it better than the competition. (please note that Triton has made a few sales and/or installed their software in agent locations but the agents aren't using the software to book travel segments). The reason that it is not being used is because it the existing GDS product better meets the agents needs on many levels. The CEO thinks everyone is stupid and if he says the product is better they will use it. He fires sales people because they cannot move the inferior product. He views the head of software development as his son who can do no wrong and is not holding his feet to the fire to deliver a useable and reference-able product. In my humble opinion, the stock is not worth the paper it is printed on. The company is not earning revenue, I am not sure how much longer they can last or even if their product is in good enough shape to sell to one of the existing GDS's which I beleive is there only way out. You know the old saying you got to know when to hold em and know when to fold em, I don't think the CEO gets it and the rest of his executive team is ineffective because he is a control freak.

oh, you are very smart lady I would say...
Are you in investment for a long time? Do you have any stocks of this co?

Michael T. · Guest

It seems that you know more about investment than I. i need to learn much more about these things. Could you teach me?

I do not consider myself a savvy investor nor do I have an investment background. I just try to apply the principles of common sense to all the decisions I make including investments. I live by the motto "speak with data" which means I must be able to answer the following two questions before making a decision, The first question: What do I believe to be true? -- this helps to get at underlying assumptions you may be holding but not consciously considering; the second question is How do I know this to be true?-- this ensures that I have objective, measurable data to support my beliefs. Once I have answered these two questions I can make an informed decision. Not to say that I know all the answers before making a decision but at least I know what I don't know and can assess the risk of not having certain information before making a decision. In my mind making an informed decision is not just having all the facts, but knowing which facts I have that can be substantiated and which facts I don't know. I may even make a decision based on my gut feel. Either way I know the risk associated with the decision I am making. With the stock price for Triton so low, there is not much of a risk assuming you aren't planning on using your life savings to purchase it. It is like going to the casino and playing the dollar machines, I might be ok losing up to a hundred dollars for the slim chance of making a few bucks. At this point is comes down to your comfort level with risk and your current financial standing. When you are looking to make significant investments you may use a Standards & Poors type company to research your potential investor. I can tell you that high-dollar investors always check-out the CEO and company executives beyond what is available through the media or marketing propaganda. They talk to qualified individuals who know what goes on behind the scenes. I wonât invest in this company but then I don't play the slots eit...

Helo, Susan, again,
how are you today?
I think this co is to start performing much better this year, I like their product and the ideas of business...

susan · Guest

for your sake and the sake of the employees working hard to succeed, I hope you are right

Michael T. · Guest

me too, me too Susan.
by the way, do you have any stocks of this company?

susan · Guest

No, I do not have any stock in Triton and I just found out that they have yet another law suit pending against them. That brings the number of ex-employees who are suing the CEO and Triton to 4. that is huge!! consider that the company only employs about 20 to 30 people which means they are being sued by 13 to 20% of their workforce. If they do make any money, they will have to pay off their lawsuits before the investors get paid.

Michael T. · Guest

Cruel news to the company. But what can we do, if the company's business is not very clean. They will have to pay for what they have done.

Susan M · Guest

Guilty until proven innocent? Hmmmm
Innocent until proven guilty susan, at least in this country.
