Dear Barbara,I have been accumulating TSIS for the last several months and currently have a large position. My intention is holding long term. I live near Omaha and called Inacom (HTQ here) and talked with Terri Jacobs in the IR dept.She was just moved into the dept.about a month before but she understood the TSIS history. Specifically, Inacom started using Investor Reach with TSIS in May 96 ( which likely makes them one of the first customers?) and they have been pleased with the relationship.Beyond that, she indicated that in April 98 their billing was about $ 1100.00 and ran higher in months around acquisitions and qtr.end.So she estimated that their annual cost ran about $16000.00.Their contract defines $.35/min for U.S. calls and $ .65 for Canadian calls. With this info I called TSIS to discover they consider Inacom to be a small account and that account size (for IR customers) tends to be based on 5 factors: 1. # of shareholders ; 2. industry ; 3. freq. of news ; 4. volatility ; 5. public awareness of co. So I took this data and put together a chart using some TSIS clients: ACCT BETA SALES TSHARES INST* %* VOL* # RELEASES ICO 1.44 3.8b 15 mil 182 95 160k 22/yr INTC 1.24 25b 1626mil 2408 50 17mil 72/ WEEK ADPT 1.03 1b 114mil 535 95 3.2mil 78/yr TDSC 1.59 90m 11mil 35 30 130k 14/yr XLNK 1.2 600m 74mil 459 88 2.4mil 32/yr DI 1.08 7b 175mil 671 83 1.4mil 42/yr AMAT 2.50 5.2b 366mil 936 69 7.6mil 48/yr * INST = no. of institutions holding. % = percent of total shares being held by institutions. VOL = ave. daily volume This random selection supports ICO as being a smaller account ( small total shares with very high institutional holdings and therefore very small ave daily volume) and suggests that the ave.IR account they mentioned in my call to them ($3500.00+/mo) seems reasonable. If this is in the ballpark,then, 40 IR accounts @ 3.5k/mo = $ 1,700,000/yr. run rate right now on the IR accounts only.The amazing no.to me is just how big Intel might be by itself and penetrating the big NASDAQ 100 would be (will be) awesome!!! best,dennis reed p.s,-speaking of household names-- had anyone heard of InaCom before?? p.s.s.- I can't get the nos.to stay put in the correct columns-sorry-any ideas??
