I see your point from your prospective. Since you are not strong technically in this area you can only base your investment decisions based on actual results not the anticipation of future sales based on projections.At this time for us to co exist please replace the word hype with projection or forecast and we are on the same non imflamatory page.There is also one other very fundemental differnce. I t is investment styles. Since this is my area of expertise I have choosen to invest if you will on the come.Forecasting a big future.Is my stategy riskier than yours of waiting until results are in, on the surface mine would look riskier. But we could argue if in fact ftel is successful and by apr.,may etc they start to produce in 7 figures per month,and there july q report shows say 1.7mil.the stock could by that time be oh 15-20-40 a share.Now you jump in and say okay this company in your opinion is for real with a great product,you buy at 43 then we go into a bad bear market and we drop to 20 even though business is good? As I said ,i would rather spend a few bucks investing in a company with huge risk/reward than a tweener company that requires more capital. Different strokes.But the above scenario makes me wonder if this stock isnt ready for you to invest in and wont be until they show bigger q results,why do you waste your valuable time posting here. You ask tons of questions of which none could be answered in a way you could profit by on your investment strategy.no one could say we sold 1 mil this month.So if you have other profitable opportunities to pursue go for it. I promise you when I find out we have sold big quantities of product I will let you know sap and therefore you wont have to waste your valuable time here.One caviat,the price of the stock may be effected by the ipo of fnet before sufficient earnings of ftel equipment take place.But thats a risk you take being out of the stock.

To ValueSpec and Tom from a lurker: I think you are a litte mixed up. This is not about fundamentals, I think its about POTENTIAL. How many people have said I wished I would've been in MSFT,CSCO and Intel to name a few back when they started out. Those of us who have followed this company for the past year have seen it progress forward. This is a BB Stock. Do you understand that? Right now its at the start of what people will be saying five years from now, I wish I would have bought FTEL:( No hype IF this stock makes it. Notice I said "IF this stock makes it!" I believe RB has made it clear of the risk and of the POTENTIAL about this stock. Weather this stock makes it or not I've learned a tremoudous amount of information from reading RB's post and from some others. Of the few posts I've posted not all have been in a postive light, a good part due to frustration, and not understanding what BB stocks are about. They are risky!, risky!, risky!, and news driven. This stock has been a trader's dream. I've learned this the hard way and information off this thread that will benefit me for the rest of my investment and trading days. I've keep my keyboard quiet and gleaned information off of this thread. This is about potential, you are off base to keep harping on fundamentals. Tell me why in the world is AMZN selling for $59, YHOO $63.375, and AOL $97.50. Lets put a little fudamentals to these AMZN EPS (1.12) BV 1.57 Shares 23.9 million YHOO EPS (0.53) BV 2.55 Shares 43.1 million AOL EPS (1.26) BV 2.31) Shares 102.9 million (Note these figures are off Yahoo Finance) What business do these stocks have being at these prices? Is it Potential? Now tell me what is thier vaule? Gee, I wonder how much the Put Sellers have made on AOL? These babies are on the NAZ. FTEL has made progress: S-1, a product to sell, independent confirmation of the quality of thier product, and now a appliction to be listed on the NAZ, etcetera. There is definate risk, but I'm willing to take it because of the POTENTIAL. I've a small core postion, and a small trade positon. If it goes below my price stop I'll bail out. I'm open to all sides, but you and Tom are annoying. If you don't own any shares what are you doing here? This lurker does not appreciate your postings. Daniel Ortiz
