RB, regardless of the Dow, NASDAQ and the Russell, those that bought FTEL at $5 are down 13.2%, at $6 down 27.7%, at $8 down 33.25% and so on. You have only stated comparisons that dropped in price. I think without having to go through the entire NASDAQ we could also list those (without the merit FTEL has) that have risen in price. That was the point I was referring to. Not everybody was as fortunate as others here to buy below where we are now. To answer you, "Yes I have questions like others here." Additionally, I also think they are reasonable questions. Let me emphasize that my main address was (not only to those concerns) to ascertain an understanding why the recent press releases AND expectations has not caused an upward trend in the price. Instead, we have seen/heard more accomplishments made by Franklin (than before the surge to $10.50) as of late with no rise in price. Do you not agree that with more happening than before we should be higher than we are? Perhaps you might not. I certainly think that is a legit question. If not, that is why I alluded to the possibility we may be at the sustained price right now, or rather where it should be. The reasons are probably endless!! I realize we're higher now than the first of the year and I realize it is tax selling season and I personally don't blame everything on the Asian crisis. That is also why I stated Frank may be waiting after 12/31. My post wasn't meant to knock FTEL at all, and I defend my questions because they are in earnest. As I stated before, I as others here represent family/friends who hold this stock. My questions are also their questions. I would also like to see other people's opinions as well. As always, thank you for your input. Chris
