What exactly is this 'security' contract for? The reason I ask is that I feel that the post office is going to come around to the internet fairly fast. They must be losing a lot of business when everybody sends e-mail instead of regular mail. If so, then they will require a LOT of security for obvious reasons. Does this make sense?

Thought it was only a 10 million contract, not 40 million contract. Yes? No? From their Earnings statement, looks like much of the sales gain has already been factored in. No garrentee of a sales contract being renewed or being of same size. Some uncertaintee there Book value is only $3.64, a bit low for a $11 stock What about the Net Loss Carry forwards? Once the NOCF are depleted, earnings will have to stand on their own. Earnings are being benifited currently by the carry forwards. I do think this is a good company with great growth potiential but I would be more comfortable owning it at a more reasonable price then the current hyped up price. For me, $9 would be a more reseanable price to get in. Looks like the stock price gains have stalled and started down a bit. I am sure this will cont. for awhile on profit taking and short selling. When the stock finially levels off and finds it's base, this could be a very good LONG. IMO Instock
