>>>The answer is simple, and is the same as in all other stocks. Take the offerings straight up for a point with one of your brokers...Then give it ten minutes to sink in, and have a different broker buy the stock that shows on "the back."<<<< Wuold you mind posting a plain english version of the above??

Noblesse, Thanks for your comments on this. I do tend to stay on the bid side too long, although for a long while this guy would work to clear the decks at the close if you were close. It was like it didn't want anything hanging over him overnight. I run a large visitor attraction in Hawaii, and one of the sad lessons I learned years ago in this business was that the excellence of your 'product' doesn't matter, as long as your quality meets the minimum acceptable level the agents will sell/push you - they just want no complaints or hassle, and the better the commission the more the push. TFS reminds me of a similar axiom - the 'quality' of your results and the execution of your business plan is not enough either. You have to have a following and get the word out. It has been somewhat frustrating owning TFS, although I have made a lot of money with this company and even at todays prices have an average price on my shares way lower than current bid. In fact, even the 10k shares I picked up over Xmas is up 20%+ in a month. However, with all that said, TFS is not getting the respect its results have earned, and we are not receiving full value for our money. regards, Ed
