TTOBST: Yes, it is very frustrating. But, I've got to say that you and a few others have the patience of JOB. Looking at the beginning of this thread, it's obvious that you saw something that others didn't. Now, it's obvious what opportunities exist for INPR. Two years ago (prior to the $100 million investment by MSFT), it wasn't obvious at all!

The basic problem is lack of coverage. Do you remember the reasons given by the big name analysts who stopped covering Borland? With the coverage of Linux, I'm sure that they will be coming back. At least I hope so. I guess they were burned real bad. But, once one comes back, the others will follow.

While I've seen posts regarding mutual funds buying INPR, with the lack of coverage, we are being whip-sawed by day traders. If you go over to the "Trader J message board," you'll see references to buys and sells on INPR in small increments. It depresses me so much, I refuse to go over there. (I don't know whether he has traded recently. But, one trader by the name of "Canuck" usually details his INPR trades.) Trading positions are also discussed on Raging Bull and Yahoo.

I'm not sure what will be the catalyst (CNBC, CNN, initial analyst coverage, stock market guru commentary, take-over rumor, etc.), but one day someone will see the opportunity in INPR and we will all forget this frustrating period.
