how do you know when a press release is significant:
before you even read the damn thing, always page down
to the very end to see the list of companies mentioned
and cross referenced in the press release. if ONT is
the only one listed, then you might as well go back to
sleep. if other companies are mentioned that have a
stock symbol, then you have to evaluate how shareholders
of those other companies might react to this news; will
it inspire them to buy ONT or not. if not, it's a none
event, if so, then you should see a few hundred thousend
more shares traded that day. my theory begs the obvious
question. why doesn't ONT pepper it's press releases
with more mentions of other publically traded companies?
the obvious answer is; it will once the site is launched
on the 02/18. how do I know this? well, consider the
following; have you ever seen a DOT.COM commercial on
Television that prompted you to, soon afterward, visit
the site with your browser? now remember how sometimes
you'd go to the site, and it was either still under
construction, or in some other way not fully functional?
well, be honest now... did you revisit that site weeks
later in hopes they finally got their act together?
I thought not... you forgot/lost that URL long ago.
the point is that ONT would be foolish to attract any
potential new shareholders with their press releases
until the store is open and ready for business. true
some will be put off by needing a broadband connection
to enjoy the fruits of ONT's labor, but ONT can't be
blamed for that, they are a Broadband only company! |
