Lets hope your right. Maybe someday, on this list of investor conference call websites, (courtesy of Barrons), a company called FCM will be featured. bestcalls.com streetfusion.com vcall.com broadcast.com cbsmarketwatch.com theflyonthewall.com fool.com Wasn't there a Saint that drove all the snakes out of Ireland????? If what IrishHonestBroker says is true, would that drive all the snakes off the FCM boards????? Sam

THIS WHOLE POST IS A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION!!! CAVEAT EMTOR!!!!! I posed a hypothesis! That FCM would be bought out for around that sum! By a European buyer! Short to medium term...1-3 months...with very slow price appreciation to $4 1/2 before announcement. If this does'nt happen I shudder to think the size of the order that will be placed on FCM. Think of it this way "We want to buy your IP telephony product, but the order we want to place is so big, that we know you will have difficulty supporting it if your market cap and share price is anything to go by. Why not let us buy into your company and then the problem dissappears" Pretty typical of what the Olivetti-Italy Telecom alliance (for example) might say to someone they really liked!...Feared? Purely conjecture of course, but FCM's product is unique, and the EUROS dont have this tech, they saw it at HANNOVER and scared the shit out of FCM, so good was their reaction. We may see the result sooner than later!!! IP is a real and present threat to established EURO telco players and they have to buy in and soon!!! JMHO.....But I am usually never too far off the mark!!
