Robert, the number of contacts I have regarding ALYD allows me to get a pretty good idea of what's going on there without having to rely solely on the company for information. Of course, before I go "public" with something, I run it by Tom at IR (1-800-ALYDAAR x2049). However, you may note that my style is to elaborate on things after they are announced, not before.
Funny thing is, when things actually are announced, I am probably more suprised than most at what is being released. For example, I had known months ago that Lou Marcoccia was the consultant with ALYD who brought in GRE (and, by the way, many more companies). I had just resigned myself to the fact that they would join all the other "anonymous" ALYD clients. Similarly, I know for a fact that ALYD and CPWR are doing some amazing things together, but who the heck knows when we will hear anything about that relationship on which we can hang our hats.
The point I am trying to make is, because I'm putting my integrity on the line in intimating that ALYD is a premier Y2K company, I make real sure ALYD is bringing in new business as well as keeping existing clients happy enough so that recommend ALYD to their friends. However, I do confess ignorance on financial matters. As a programmer, I rely on the accountants on this thread to sort that stuff out.
I did go out on a limb last week, uncharacteristically, predicting this past week would be quite exciting. Yes, my timing, as usual (unfortunately) was off. Now I am put in an awkward position because I don't want to be perceived as "stringing people along" by saying I still expect good news. So, I'll just put away the pom poms until after something of note happens... but I still have my fingers crossed.(gg)
