HEADS UP!!! (no pun intended) According to a Dallas newspaper, there seems to be a Secret Service Agent ready to testify that he saw Monica giving the Prez the old herk and jerk. The market may just as well do the herk and jerk tomorrow if this is for real. Hold on, this may be one bumpy ride.

<any signs of good news> The question i have is what those signs might be likely to be. My own impression is that the stock is not going to ever really rock and roll until they report earnings which exceed expectations, or several quarters down the road when they do show good growth as predicted to the .60/yr level and beyond. I think this quarter they will still be in buildup mode at best. I like the accumulation that's going on here, but also the 12-13 area is going to hold tons more resistance than the 11's did - never spent much time in the 11's at all last year. Short of great earnings, what other catalysts may occur before the next earnings report? Any other new product announcements expected? Not that i know of. The other thing i wonder about is whether any analysts will be actively investigating to unofficially determine e.g. sales levels of C6 this quarter. But again, I think the possible real good news will be in the later quarters of this year where we have a chance to show we can meet or beat the numbers. In the meantime, we may be a bit of a sitting duck for general market turbulance taking it's toll. Lots of us including your truely have been suckers expecting higher stock price just based on IDT being really well positioned to make a lot of money with new products. I would agree but think we've been showing up for the party long before it's scheduled! Still as Rob says, those with patience will be well rewarded as long as they don't lose faith and forget what they're waiting for if it dips back down a bit. Don't forget it may still be very early yet....
