With respect, giving the impression that 9700 were bought at the
bid wont help either your investment or mine or anyone else's!!!
They are down because USAT is down!!!
period, end of story...that's the bottom line...and NBC would'nt
be exactly compatible with USAT, now would they!!!

I am told today, in answer to a question, that Usat orders are
on a cash basis only!!

I must admit, I'm in a state of dispare myself!

David I agree with what you say 100%. This is nerve racking. I think that some of the problem is that those that are holding long term, are for the most part all in. If they are not all in, then they are waiting for a reason to buy. Others that have been faith-full for so long are starting to wonder if they are willing to sit and watch this for much longer. Still others that have done no DD on their own and bought on recommendation or hype are looking for the exit doors. Whatever your situation, it is safe to say that we currently are not seeing many new buyers if any coming in.
We as share holders are way past wait till next month we want to see deals struck and solid example of progress being made. FCM needs a reason to generate an urgency to buy their stock not sell it

My new montra is, save the share price, strike a deal!!!

Re: NBC deal with NTOP...

Just my opinion, but I would think the folks who really understand this market (and I'm not going to even suggest that I am one of them) should figure out that the NBC/NTOP deal is still dealing with WEB to PHONE and that is NOT FCM's market.

So, I don't think that deal did anything other than to validate the VoIP business in general.
