techstocks.com Following are some of the words from the link just given. These words were from raleigh baughman Monday, Oct 27 1997 10:38PM EST: <<David, Intrine is a $80 million Silicon Valley company.>> . . . <<When all the number crunching is said and done, the leverage of the FNET ownership will enhance the FTEL shares by about $3.00 minimum based on my primary math. That does not count earnings considerations. Now consider this, with FNET adding to the bottomline, plus the high margins from equipment sales, how fast do you think it will take to produce $1.00 EPS, and what applied multiple ?>> . . . <<Dah Dah Dah rb>> I'd like to point out a few things about his post: 1) Intrine is the MAJOR company as listed in this press release? What was the company thinking when they told shareholders that? <<Our customer is a major company which is preparing a press release of their own at a later date.">> See the full press release on the "major" customer: ftel.com 2) Raleigh is predicting $ 1.00 EPS fast? And at what muliple? Hopefully, Raleigh will give us a timeframe for his prediction. That prediction was made three months ago. Does waiting until the June 30, 1998 Q for them to make money sound reasonable? That would give Raleigh 9 months to be at least in the ballpark with his seemingly optimistic estimate.

<<Why? The short answer is because ftel was a research and developement type company with some cash flow to substain it.>> Ray, that still doesn't explain why the those PR releases would be excluded, IMO. To me it seems like they are ashamed of their quarterly results. <<Congratulations, it looks like now you are starting to look into this company!>> I've read numerous documents on this company from the beginning. It takes a while to document eveything, etc. <<These historical earnings will be fun to look at in the future!>> Ray, I believe we can do that now. Today is the future of yesterday's past ! Why don't we analyze past news releases verses what is going on now? I look to see how much of the past releases look like hype, etc. I call a press release hype if it made a situation sound better than it actually was (like the Intrine news). If companies do that, that is a classic yellow flag warning, IMO. FTEL: $ 4.72b $ 4.84a VALUESPEC valuespec.com
