HISC - another great post about HISC at CES, this one from sufersdsu on Ihub

investorshub.com

I went to the CES Saturday afternoon. First, I'll just say ditto to everything Sans reported. I don't want to repeat what he already wrote, but here are a few of my observations.

I don't think I can overstate what a hit the CT was at the show. Admittedly, I was only there for one afternoon, but I had time to talk with the reps and see the reaction of the people seeing the CT for the first time. Also, based on my discussions with the reps, they are DEFINITELY getting orders as a result of the show.

The booth was extremely busy and I stood back and listened whenever someone was inquiring about the CT. There were several people who came by the booth while I was there, and every one of them was impressed. Most of them were techies who understood and were amazed by the capabilities of the CT. One serious inquiry was from a guy who has a fleet of fourteen trucks. Based on his reaction to the CT and his discussion with the reps, I think they will have an order soon from this guy.

Speaking of orders, Bryan Vest, who is a great guy and the manager of Actsoft sales support said that they HAVE orders coming in from different parts of the country but, (as we all know) up until now they haven't been unable to accept and ship these orders. None of the specific orders he told me about were large(mostly 10-20 units), but they were orders for a product that has not yet been pushed hard by the sales force.

I know most of this is anecdotal type of stuff, but I thought you might like to hear someone else's impression of the show.

Lastly, Spencer has speculated more than most that there are a lot of positive things happening regarding sales that haven't been announced and he's occasionally gotten harrassed about it. I think Spence was way ahead of the rest of us. Everything I was told at the show supports what the prevailing wisdom is on the board.

Their recent picks don't seem to have any lasting power:

But, hey, my timing on takeoff has been in the toilet lately!
