Frank, calypso, Rondo, Ron, Mark, Wolf, Bill, George/MJ, Joe/Yvonne et al:
Well, as the sun rises over the Inland Waterway at the back, the tarpon jump out front in the Gulf of Mexico--and with the Bush's going on their morning jog here at Boca Grande, -- me thinkest that $88-$99.95 is one heck of a one day jump-- even for our mighty little Super Stock, CIC.
Of course here at Boca Grande in SW Florida, the local building regulations (the Preserver/Excluder syndrome--i.e. to hell with the real world--raise the drawbridge, quick!) only allow buildings to be 68 feet high. Perhaps we could have CIC jump over these short structures--and then pretend they did the bigger buildings up north.
Come to think of it, there are enough of their shares tucked away down here-- sort of "Certiland South"-- the local benevolent dictator being 'George'.
CIC has run a long way ($8 in Dec 98 to $88 in Dec 99) on dreams and hopes of it becoming THE Subterranian Security Standard for meeting the security needs of the wireless revolution. Its half way there-- it just needs more time, partners,NASDAQ and for the OEM hardware to roll out.
Year 2000 will be the year of the roll out of many PDA's for the mass market. Some will survive--others will fail. I would hope that CIC's strategy is to continue to be the Prince Consort to the whole flock of OEM's. May they (CIC) have the strength to preserve their independance-- not pick favourites and be with the eventual winners, whomever they may be.
Speaking of independance--I guess Certicom will be looking over their collective shoulders from time to time at the RSAS's, BALT's and ENTU's of this world as groups that may find CIC an attractive item to gobble.
The way to avoid that fate is to continue being the best 'sub' infrastructure security technology to 'all'. May CIC continue to grow through aquisitions when they are clearly accretive, access good new people and open up new markets.
If it was $8-$88 in 99--what will we see in 2000?
Best to everyone for a great New Year. May I wish for you-- all the good health possible, and the strength to seize your 'own' happiness--as it does truly come from within!
Finally, Prosperity!--.... well, just see above, and go hang on to most of your CIC--with some smart profit taking along the way.
