A 10k for ftut/SEG, the cpt FY00, then a name change from ftut to SEG, then some indication that SEG client base is rising, then eventually a change of mood in the general market ... that might do it ... it's still my biggest holding, when it wins it wins big imho, but tomorrow, next week? - probably not ... shares acquired at this level will look real nice in accounts this time next spring though.
