Folks...
I've been trying to catch up on the last couple of days of posts here on the TPRO thread.
I detect a lot of impatience out here and just wanted to make a few comments and observations from my perspective.
First, my perspective of the company is based on a longer term outlook. I view TPRO as a company that has spent a lot of time and effort at restructuring its operations and refocusing on a bigger and broader business plan that should pay off nicely over the longer term.
Realizing that to make money, one must invest it upfront, I think that the steps that Jenkins has taken the right steps to positioning the company to take advantage of the Y2K problem and use it as means of gaining longer term business. If it is good enough for KEA, CSC, and IMRS, I think it will offer a similiar situation for TPRO. I'm sure that most of us realize in the long run our stock's value will eventually be reflected in a manner that we all desire. It only requires some patience.
TPRO faces the challenge of now meeting the expectations that have been placed upon it by the market, the shareholders, as well as its manamgent. When I first had TPRO brought to my attention, I was somewhat skeptical of it being merely another Y2K hype stock. Subsequent research, most of diligently provided by C.K. and so many others out here have convinced me that TPRO will become a very important company over the coming years. It will likely capture substantial business using Y2K as the introduction to what it really offers, business process re-engineering at the factory floor.
I don't really expect earnings to match what shareholders may currently expect in this quarter. I hope that they do, but if they don't it will merely provide an additional opportunity to add to positions that should reward longer term investors with a focus of reaping wealth out of the chaos of the Y2K issue.
Just thought that I might share my opinion out here for what it is worth. I have been impressed with the manner in which TPRO management has adhered to SEC filing requirements, the professional presentation in the Annual Report I received today, and the manner in which it has arranged for additional financing through restricted private placements. All of these add credibility and stability to the value of the company and its stock and set a firmer foundation for earnings growth over the coming quarters.
