<<I'm sorry but I just can't get too excited over the latest PR with UCP.>> Susie, I'm sorry to be the one to burst your bubble, but I suspect this is the big news. I'm personally not expecting a deal in which someone walks up and dumps several million dollars in TSIG's lap. Any deal that I can think of involves ramp up time. Because of previous disappointments and delays, a lot of investors out there don't have any interest in anything but revenues and profits. Most of the P&D people have moved on, but what is the real story for those of us here for the long term? 1) United Cerebral Palsy is a big organization. That means lots of exposure and lots of resources. 2) UCP is a national charity. This is a first for TSIG. Other charities may follow. 3) UCP has high name recognition. Notice nobody is saying "Who?" today. 4) UCP has close relationships with large well-known corporations. TSIG may be able to do business with these sponsors. 5) UCP's choice of TSIG gives TSIG respectability. This clout will help TSIG ink the next deal........So, no the stock price didn't skyrocket today, but this is a huge, huge step toward profitability. It should be obvious to us all that no one deal is going to be the saving grace of this company. It's going to take many such deals to bring in the revenues to make the company successful. I always shake my head in amazement when I read messages saying, "I don't want to hear about new deals." Hello! That statement only makes sense to the shorters..........So, sorry you are not excited, but maybe you'll warm up to it before long. Regards, Suzanne
