OnLive Stock?

[TheMaster]

Does anyone know the parent company of OnLive if there is one? Are they a corporation or are they privately owned? I would love to get my hands on some OnLive Stock if it's publicly traded. Does anyone have any information on the Onlive company and whether they have issued stock or plan to do so in the future? If so, please let me know their stock symbol if possible.

Rearden companies is the parent company i believe, but i don't think it is publicly traded, correct me if im wrong.

I have also looked into this. I'm looking to invest top dollar into them but it does look like they are a privately owned stock company so far. If they do go out on the market, which I'm sure they will, it will probably be in the hundred range.
For now you can purchase stock in their investors.

As far as I know they are a privately owned company with investors of Warner Bros. and a couple other smaller companies.

Yeah thats what I got when I looked into it, I believe one of them was only $15 a share.
These companies are going to go through the roof once this thing launches.
I believe that the price to make the boxes is very inexpensive, so their profit to spending ratio will be very high.

You have to factor in the cost of their servers though. We have no idea how expensive it is for them to manufacture the specialized servers they use to run this whole thing.

However, I speculate it costs a hell of a lot less than to develop and manufacture millions of consoles.

[FTWrath]

That is true, and seeing as how it has been in secret development for 6 years they are due to payback investors.
However, this appeals to tons of people due to the inexpensive nature of it. They said it will be affordable.

Take-Two Interactive is a partner. TTWO

[FTWrath]

Yeah I was looking at investing in them.
Also, what you could do is find out who is manufacturing their chips in the micro console and invest in that company :).

Hopefully onLive will have sense not to offer an IPO in this hostile market, the short traders will demolish them.

imagine onlive....or any stream/data connection, everywhere, at full signal....it seems Rearden is working on this....

White paper on MIMO system (add www)

Maybe more reason to look into a bit of investment...heh

[brash]

i have the impression, from interviews with the owner of onlive, that there are no plans in the near future to go public. and probably distant future as well

He likes to keep his company under his control for freedom to do what he wants.. as he should.

[tibbon]

Why would they go public? They have plenty of cash right now from private investors, and being private has far less scrutiny of little things than being public.

You can probably invest today if you're an accredited investor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accredited_investor). Do you have a net worth of at least 1M USD (not including your house) and did you make at least $200K for the past two years? If not, you can't invest privately in a company like that. And they'll probably want a minimum buy-in of around 50-100K, if not much more at this point.

I'm friends with probably a dozen accredited investors, and it isn't something to be done lightly.

Just because a company gets big doesn't mean it goes public. General Motors just went public last year. They've been around for over 100 years. Anyone who is serious about investment should know that companies don't always want your money. Money comes with strings.

And if you're serious about investing, you should be able to stand loosing 100% of it. My guess? Most people on this forum don't qualify.

Well, that's "new GM" after re-emerging/re-listing from bankrupcy. The first GM Form S-3 was on November 30, 1994.

But I agree that OnLive doesn't seem to need cash right now.

Here's "old GM" https://www.motorsliquidation.com/Home.aspx

I couldn't find it because it is so long, but I remember that when he spoke at Columbia University, someone asked about their ticker symbol and he said they are private.

I always find it cute when tibbon talks down to people on this forum. Best part is when he qualifies his post with "I'm friends with these people!"

He isn't talking down to anyone, he's simply stating the facts of the matter. There isn't a reason for Rearden/OnLive/ect to go public, and the only other way to invest he supplied information for. Stating that he has friends capable of such a thing is saying that he knows a bit more about the process and is sharing that information with us.

I can't find any incorrect information in his post. It is true that most people (in general, I don't mean OnLive or these forums) should not be investing in common stock, let alone a start-up technology company. Especially not a single stock. But I'm sure we can all agree that the excitement among OnLive players about the company/service is pretty neat and is a good sign.

[Esquire]

I always find it curious as to which of my troll posts go ignored and which get attention. I'm noticing a pattern.

To be clear: Tibbon is right ;)

Intentionally trolling to cause problems is not a good idea here. Just being clear.

[DBLDeathDealer]

Would love to see some public stocks open up here.

Would be amazing also if they offerred it to the OnLive community first, as really we are part of the family.

LOL, dude, trolling isn't a static definition. I have friends who are really good trolls so I know what I'm talking about. If I were serious about trolling, I'd be a total jerk about it all the time. My guess? Most people on this forum wouldn't classify me as a troll.

Had I used "bsing" rather than "trolling,"I think we'd be fine. I'm just bsing. No worries :)

Why would it be "in the hundred range"? You do realize that the actual number has nothing to do with the company's value, right? Apple could split their stock 50 times and have it at 12 cents if they wanted to.

[BotaFogo]

At this point they would want few investors to lend $10 millions or more. Having thousands of investors to only chip in $10.000 each is just too much of a headache for such a small privately held company.

Offerring a public stock first to this website? There's so much wrong with that, from a practical, moral and legal standpoint.

:wtf: My head almost exploded when I read that comment. Glad I wasn't alone.

OnLive is a Private company. Rearden Is the Parent company
