Would have preferred an announcement indicating that PERI is doing something to slash it's out of control G & A expenses to a lousy $ 3.5 M order spread over 9 months.

Disagree that a buy-back is "smoke and mirrors" however...Better to have this money boosting EPS than sitting around in PERI's MM account earning 5 %.

What is needed to get this stock where it should be (i.e. north of $ 10 - near my average cost basis of $ 11.85) is to demonstrate leadership in recognizing that 91 salesman aren't contributing to the growth as expected. They need to slash overhead aggressively - the growth just isn't there...

It's not enough to have neat technology and a growing market. You need to be lean, aggressive and most of all attentive to the bottom line !
