Rob -- just a lurker here but you've said a few things that are strange...among them: "Add to your winners, not your losers (assuming you bought when I did in the 6.5 range). I will not add to this stock anymore. Flame me if you want, but so far I have not been wrong." If you truly believe what you are spouting then my friend you were wrong when you bought TPRO at $6 1/2.. You continually harp about hype -- but I can tell you this -- It became very clear to me during the PP that TokyoMex ain't hype -- he does have....shall we say a rogue flare for the english language...but he knows what he is talking about. He was in contact with the CFO...He put one of my associates in direct contact with the CFO and was extremely accurate in the information and discussions that occured during those negoitiations -- the deal eventually fell through -- only because my associate couldn't conduct his DD fast enough (for such a substantial investment -- Mex and I were trying to do the entire PP with one buyer) My point isn't to recap the PP and Mex's involvement -- but to state clearly that if Mex says there is big news sitting on someone's desk -- I am certain of one thing -- THERE IS BIG NEWS SITTING ON SOMEONE's DESK. That's not hype -- and it isn't Mex or anyone else on this thread who is at fault if it takes longer to get that news off the desk then we would all like. Rogue messenger..........for sure. Hypster..........................not in my book -- even if he will occassionally fess up to it. BTW Rob I bought a ton at 4 and change -- sold some at 7 and the rest at 6 1/2 and am sitting on the sidelines getting ready to load up again. So who's been right and who's been wrong. DocStone knows how I agonized over the decission to get out at 6 1/2 because of another stock I was in -- and it wasn't becase I was smart -- It was just dumb luck that I made the right decission -- and dumb luck has provided me with another opportunity to pick up TPRO at nearly my original entry point -- at exactly the point you are proclaiming that you were right to buy at 6 1/2 but its wrong to buy at 4 7/8. Still scratching my head at that one -- I just don't get it. By the way before I go back to lurking I am proclaiming to all the world that I owe DocStone two boxes of Dunhill Reds -- so maybe he'll stop his friendly jabs at bugging me about it. Have a good holiday all. Now back to lurking. Trippi

John, I agree that Management takes responsibiltiy. That's why I think this weeks events are a watershed. Let's see how the company reacts next week and in fact tomorrow to our growing concern. Todays news leaks via e-mails are very encouraging now we need them to hit the wires. We also need to have a clear indicator as to what is forthcoming in the second quarter results. The company must have a good idea by now. I patiently wait for the companies reaction. Take Care, JZ

Just want you guys to know that there is some new money still coming in to the stock. Bought today at 5 1/32. I'd imagine there's more than just me with this thing on the screen all the time waiting for a buying opportunity. Personally I thought it looked like it had found some support around 5 and I think the punch through might be easily made up tomorrow since I think it was just some end of day selling pressure. Maybe I'll hit my stop and be out, but I doubt it personally. I'd like to hold this one for a couple of months.
