Hooo! Haaaa! Haaaa! <ack>x666... Thanks Mr. Caruthers... I had not only forgotten his prior duplicity but I had completely forgotten that CEUT, now... and hereafter... "Collin's Stew," had taken a major share of the QI block as well!! It will take a few days for the MoMo's who are free to buy in sub $5 to digest all this. I figure that as long as RMTR management isn't in on his particular brand of "value" scamming... yes I know this is a rather large assumption, but hey... one of them will get a load of the free cash flow going on and start to pile on. But if not... there's always the retail tech investors only friend: New surprise "news" from a licensee. Anyway, I have tried to calculate... or should I say "calcuearly?"... how much pre-tax income I need to generate a $7.6M tax bill at a 38% rate. Surely I must be wrong because I keep coming up with $20M in taxable income... and figuring expenses & margin at 45 & 54% of revenue respectively... why that would require revenues emanating from the proverbial whazoo and every orifice too! At the very least it would take a massive drop in operating expenses as a percent of total revenue... to something like 26% on a year of 100M in total revenues if the margins stayed the same! Hmmmm... let me see... .26% of $100M = $6.5M/Q in operating expense... Hmmmm, hmmmm... let me see... $6.608M in operating expenses in Q4... Lord A'Mighty... what was that "assumption" I was making again? <Hoo><Hoo><Hoo><awrk> Well... I know one thing... If this company turns in $100M in revenues for 2008... I'm buyin a gun... a pellet gun... for massive magnum OWL pellet ammo! <ack><ack><pHooie> 0\|0
