The company is certainly providing a service that is needed by factories, the question in my mind is whether they are providing it well. Take a look at page 18 of the 10-K. A 4 mil beef with one of their customers and "The company is also party to various disputes involving contractual matters of contract compliance and payment of its billings" Seems to me we need to get a line on what's going on there.

lbs, first this ain't Intel and any comparison to stock price movements is complete irrelevant and unrelated. second, a good idea does not necessarily turn into a great company. TPRO problem has always been cash flow. Cash flow is not improving and they are continually adding more shares and debt which dilutes the earnings picture. Imagine if this company had only 10 million shares. We'd be in the black and the stock would be above 10. It feels like management is taking advantage of the shareholders and the poor souls out there that are banking their life savings on this stock. Sooner or later the company must generate internal cash flow to support operations because if they don't, investors/speulators will stop buying their stock and they will not be able to meet their liabilities.. Right now announcements or NMS listing is not what the company needs (although it would be nice for a quick pop in the stock). Right now the company needs to show that they are making money. If you look back a few months ago to last summer, management was selling this stock like crazy. It would be nice for management to show their confidence in the company by purchasing the stock rather than selling it. After all, if management is selling why shouldn't everyone else sell.

lbs---pessisism,,, YOU QUESTION THAT??? You spoke history that did not maintain a price level. Nothing since so the price has dropped significantly. The others you mentioned move down but then to new highs and splits--- TPRO drops and sits at this point. The range is 5 1/4 to 5 3/4. It used to have a range of 5 3/4 to 6 1/2. No one is expecting "great earnings", but "earnings" is not asking for a miracle. I agree market timing is not usually possible,,, but months of dead/dropping money is stupid! They have the capability to do something and have not--- the alternative (I do not believe) is they have nothing. Everyone bitched at the comparison of ZITL to TPRO. I AM putting a few bucks into ZITL now as it may do much better over the short haul than TPRO. Then IF they can show something profits can be used to buy TPRO. Still holding IMRS,ACLY,ALYDand other Y2Ks... slowly dumping TPRO to buy stocks that make money--- I thought that is why we invested,,, to try to make money NOT lose it! I have faith we will see major movement by the end of the month---if not "BYE". You stated you are a believer in "the story" --- many of us are believers in "the balance sheet" and will buy a book of nursery rhymes as that is cheaper than holding TPRO for stories... John
