Glad we decided to sign deals with opentv, microsoftTV and liberate among others...
Which ever way goes we have a chance of being in the middle

This poster, like myself, is looking for the BBtB connection. I like the fact that he qualified his statement with, "...we have a CHANCE..." (at being involved with whomever is supplying AT&T services. Guess some more questions for IR.
How can a poster jump to these type of conclusions based on old announcements. A fairer question to asked would be whether or not INSP is still working behind the scenes for Liberate and Microsoft TV. Then take it from there.
Is this downturn helping or hurting INSP? Are well funded companies, such as Microsoft, AT&T, and others taking this time to develop, independently of INSP the type of applications and technologies that INSP has?
OR is Jain the mastermind "sell the gold miners picks and shovels" behind the Company Behind the Company.
If you believe this sentiment then INSP has the potential to be involved in almost every announcement of it's partnered companies.
I have a hard time accepting that the current trading prices on stocks are representative of their actual values and potentials. When an indiscriminate bloodletting of shareholder value takes place on such a wide scale, it looses its meaning as an indicator for individual stocks. That said, some of these companies are NOT coming back.
Speaking of IR, I read a Raging Bull poster, Shawshank. He is one that I copied a posting where he claimed he talked with Tammy Halstead. I found several things in his reporting that matched exactly what I, too, found out in talking directly with IR. Another post SS mentions that INSP is planning on 'peddeling' the information about the company in a concerted effort starting in the next month or so. Said INSP acknowledged they have not done the best job in educating the investment community (and I suppose) the markets as a whole, well enough. INSP is about to actively work on disseminating company and product information.
Could be interesting to check back after this 'traveling minstrel show' concludes. I imagine the 'tour' would be supported by a string of press releases. RTQ 8/24/01 @ 8:18 AM PST is $1.52
IR told me that INSP will continue to produce press releases but warned me that most analysts were on vacation in August (including their own) and things are in a 'quiet period'.
If there ever would be a good time to have 'false trading patterns' or 'manipulation', this would be those times IMHO. |
