Thanks Patel, I thought I remembered that it was going to be positive earnings. Now if we can just calm everyone down. Monday is the 13th, with CD announcements imminent, followed by positive 1st quarter earnings. We have a lot to look forward to.
TPRO's announcments are being very well management from my point of view. It is clear that TPRO will not announce early and is conservative. They are building a solid foundation to handle quick growth. When the announcements come, they will be surrounded by positive earnings, that will only add momentum. The position they have taken is one of a solid steady growing company. The reality is that they have the potential to explode, but they are being prudent so as not to over inflate the story. If expectation is too high, the forthcoming announcements will not be as strong.
If you had a major software product that you were about to release. Would you start announcing contracts before the software? No, release the software, announce the contracts. The press will act as your marketing machine with each new announcement. The momementum will build, Plants all over the world will hear about this new tool. Then they too will jump in. Using the CD, they will find problems with their plants, then they will come to TPRO for help.
After seeing the Y2K problem evident within their own plants, companies will expect their suppliers to assure them that their plants are Y2K compliant. More CD sales, more clients. Then TPRO knows everything about a company and its suppliers. Whats that? TPRO leverages their Supply Chain Management expertise to land even more contracts outside the Y2K arena.
On no news, look how agitated this board gets. Even now that the CD is about to be released. It was their Y2K product that got most of us interested in the first place. Now we are standing at the door and some give me the impression that they are too impatient. Come on, we need confidence. We need to make an educated decision and see how it pans out. No news is good news until the CD is released. With the CD released, the other Y2K announcements will come.
To the year 2000 and beyond!
