Sandie, I'm not sure what value TPRO actually holds. The research thread is great, but realistically TPRO has yet to make any money, we haven't seen any contract anouncements, the PP was done under the table (that is without shareholders actually knowing about it except for a few on this thread which also makes me suspicious), the company does not have good cash flow, they don't have a full nasdaq listing, and their seems to be this big cloud of mystery over the Y2k problem in general. Sure people working in the Y2K sector know about it, but the general public really is not overly concerned. Few Y2K stocks have generated any returns for investors over the past several months. So you (I) are (am) basically holding or buying TPRO on speculation that Y2K is real and the company will be making money and generating cash and new contracts. But until then, you won't get big investors interested in this company. IMO this stock is going nowwhere but down as stocks generally tend to fall on uncertainty. To keep thinly traded stocks moving up you have to keep feeding them with news and earnings growth.

Sandy, The reason why it isn't higher are a few: - Although reporting record revenue, many will wait till the company reports net profits. That's why we can still consider ourselves as being on the ground floor. As you know, this requires great patience to wait from quarter to quarter for this to happen. - The entire Y2K sector has recently suffered from skeptism due to a few Y2K companies not delivering the over-hyped profits they promised. That is why TPRO needs to show the money to differentiate itself from the rest of the sector. Many feel that 1998 will be a watershed year for Y2K companies and not coincidently February and May 1998 are very important earning reporting months for TPRO. Note that the Y2K earnings have happened quicker than TPRO initially expected and that is why we are looking forward to February as well as May. - Many investors (Individuals and Institutions) will limit their investments in non-marginable securities. TPRO's NMS status is very important to open it up to the entire investment community. We are passed the three week minimum, so it could come at any time. I have reviewed the NMS requirements and TPRO definetly falls within the limits. I think they're a shoe-in. I hope TPRO is staying on top of NASD to move it along. Some feel that TPRO is waiting to make contract announcements after they get NMS status: Makes sense. I understand that they recently landed one contract for $8Mill in Y2K work. I figure they'll announce it when they get there NMS status. - The company has been working very hard to bring it's books into clean and simple order. They basically have gone through a necessary transformation and their books are now only clearly reflecting their renewed condition. Many feel that once we get the Warrants out of the way, the books will be simple and clean; this will provide a great boost to investor confidence. Finally, Sandie we must remember that we are pioneers in this stock and being out in the forefront can be lonely for a while. But when the rest of the settlers start coming, we already have purchased the land and water rights. Take Care, JZ
