Jim - I understand that a PR firm has been hired. I do not know specifically what they will be doing, but I think some indication was given before, when the marketing initiatives were announced. IMO - This stock will not get off of these levels until some big buyers show up. I think that these guys would just as soon wait and see how Q4 comes in first. I am looking at this company as if it were a startup and also have invested more recently than most of you - so perhaps my threshold of tolerance, timeline and expectations are different. The people they have brought in recently should have a big impact on the company - but they have just arrived. This story needs a little more time to develop, but I see things moving in the right direction. They were able to sign CTW and Disney so yes, obviously they "talk a good line". I also agree, that ultimately execution is what really matters. The guy that brought NKC to my attention has done a lot of due diligence on a lot of companies and is a highly successful investor. I'd rather put my energies towards helping this company, not browbeating them. I cannot imagine what purpose is served by making threatening calls to the company, as some on this thread are apparently prone to do. And...with all of the great companies out there, why keep your money in one where you do not trust the management? It just doesn't make any sense to me! Good investing! p.s. If anyone still has an appetite for Canadian companies, take a look at Infowave Software (Toronto: IW). They are supplying software to the MSFT/QCOM joint venture (Wireless Knowledge) that will be rolled out to customers by AT&T among others, in 2000.
