I am not a Franklin basher... I want to go back in.... I wont do it on the back of a product promotion which WILL lead to increased sales, OVER TIME, but which is not, nor should it be relied upon, for anything more than a VERY SHORT and very small boost to the share price, which if not followed up by SIGNIFICANT news from the company itself, will not be sustained and you'll get a momentum effect!!! YOU ALL KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING!!! Franklin has to get an ENDORSEMENT in the form of a HUMONGOUS order from one of the REALLY BIG players..... Look what Mitch Aunger is saying..... "Start your own telephone company for under $20000!" That makes every existing telco in the world a complete Patsy!!! So why are companies like these not buying FCM..... Why could'nt they get a single reseller of any consequence to represent them in EUROPE after making such a big impression at the Hanover Fair???? USAT does'nt wash with me....it might a little if we could have a clear company statement as to what the relationship actually is and how much USAT owes FCM....but even then USAT and FCM will never make FCM any bigger than it is, one man and a few dogs, doing good things with an attractive little bark...bow wow! bow wow! FCM has a couple of resellers...but nothing of any consequence....somewhere else a PRIVATE company called STAR has been mentioned that has to keep quiet about itself, because of the way companies do business in its part of the world...I ask you!!! Who they are...havent a bull's notion and 'sfar as I'm concerned they are HYPE!!! FCM owes me nothing...I bought anjd sold it 4 times, most recent at 1 5/8 to sell at 2 1/8...I'm happy really, and I'll get back in.... but I see false prophets at the moment!!!
