Investors on the Eshare message boards spent much of last week in cyber-huddle formation celebrating, what they considered to be, an undiscovered gem of a stock. Well, guess what ... secret's out, folks. Monday's 11 percent gain, in addition to last week's stellar performance, caused quite a stir, and investors started to take notice. See company profile.


On Silicon Investor, a small gathering turned into an all-out bash when shares of Eshare (ESHR: news, msgs) started to percolate. TomH, whom most board denizens credit for uncovering the stock's potential, posted his continued rosy outlook: "If one is looking for a solid investment and at least another 40 points in ESHR within the next 12 months, just buy and hold. I've done more due diligence (DD) on this company than any other in the past, rarely am I so excited about a sure long-term winner like ESHR."

TomH's enthusiasm was contagious as folks, like KG4, chimed in: "With such a low float, it will take big swings on any volume ... and volume we definitely have. You have a lot of short-term traders going in and out for a quick buck, and many folks grabbing some to hold for the long haul. My DD has turned up excellent on this issue. I am holding and will buy more on any appreciable dip to take advantage of that volatility."

And even CoachBobKnight took time out of his busy schedule to tout the stock: "The market for NET AGENT is tremendous and growing every day. ESHR will undoubtedly gain some more very-high profile accounts as the year progresses. Considering the relationship between AOL and Wal-Mart, I think Eshare will win the Wal-Mart contract by March of next year."

The discussion kicked into high gear over on Raging Bull where DayTripper kept with the bullish theme: "Online shopping is HUGE, but one of the downfalls, or negatives, is that consumers get turned off sometimes when they can't ask questions nor get answers regarding what they want to purchase so they don't. All these online shopping web sites are recognizing this and are starting to purchase 'customer service interactive software solutions.' Eshare has a few different flavors of solution to fit different needs and if you check out www.eshare.com you will see that they have received numerous awards for those products and some great write-ups."

Any snippet on a high-flyer these days would be incomplete without the mention of ... do I even need to say the word. I'll let CCGames point it out for you: "A touch of Linux for ESHR. Nice mention in this Smart Money article. The word is getting out guys." Based on past performance, that should be good for at least a triple, right?

The boards continued to ring with investors calmly anticipating the kind of returns that have graced competitors like E.piphany and Kana Communications -- we'll have to wait and see if Eshare can live up to these kind of lofty expectations. Perhaps a bit of a stretch, but I suppose anything's possible should the Street decide to smile upon the new breed of ESHR faithful.
