Rob: It's your approach buddy. If you don't have all the facts then make sure you indicate that and frame your discussion with that in mind. You will find many helpfull people on this thread. Notice I have tried to answer your questions, but you keep making generalizations
such as "It just leads to more uncertainty and will be questioned again in the future."
There is no uncertainty right now among the majority of this thread. What you could have stated was "I am still uncertain until I receive further information. I'll call the IR people and get back with everyone." I hope you don't think I'm talking down to you, but it seems you appreciate advice.

Rob: Its your tone and manner that are a turnoff. You inject yourself into a long standing discussion, speak with an authoritative and self-important air, but it becomes quickly obvious that your knowledge base is hollow.
You know absolutely nothing about y2k and definitely nothing about TPROs business. Instead you think you can impress us with hollow generalizations such as "cloud of mystery" etc. etc. Skeptic is no different than you. Try this game with college coeds, it may work, but not here.
It is not true that we are not critical of TPRO stock. I'll bet that the longs on this board could make better bear arguments that bears.
Why not tell us that you are lacking knowledge, rather than try to act as if you are well informed? And please, don't get all indignant and pretend you are only giving us you "humble" opinion. In the words of Golda Meier, "Don't act so damn humble, your not great enough yet."

Rob: I guess all your questions stems from lack of movement on the stock. If there were indeed hype, do you think the water will hold ? The stock will be back to pre-may trading range in no time, if only hyping had driven this stock up from a buck & half to 6+ now. The
stock currently is on "accumulate" status nicely consolidating at these levels.
Just see the trend: Stock jumed 600% just on news release of getting into Y2K business. Can you imagine what will happen when news releases of contracts/NMS comes up ? 1st Quarter CC just CONFIRMED huge growth in Y2K revenues 2q & beyond. When expected news releases of contracts comes by any time now, bulls will come charging in mad. So either be trampled or ride them - your call. Good luck :-)

Rob: I share your doubts. I must admit that the TPRO story is very compelling. However, the absolute certainty of many on this thread is what I find most troubling. For everyone who is buying, there is someone else selling. If the bulls are certain of large gains in TPRO, then they must be assuming that the sellers are either stupid or not as well informed. These are very dangerous assumptions! |
