Mike.. you're a bright and generous guy, but you're capitalizing on the optimism here simply to voice your own opinions on anything and everything. Your stance on TPRO, it seems to me, is pretty well known by now. You're starting to sound like you need some tranquilizers or something, like a man standing next to a highway screaming ".. cars can kill." We know that, its a stock market and this could be a bad investment. That's the risk everyone takes with every investment. The purpose of this thread isn't for you to have a one person forum for your negativity. Why don't you wait until earnings come out, then make your good and bad points, one way or the other... one time (take six pages if you want). You can be sure that if TPRO's presentation is poor then you will be the first person everyone thinks of and they'll flock to your opinions.. but take a break until then. thanks and best regards until then, Jim

Mike, you should know that trailing P/E is irrelevant. For companies undergoing a paradigm shift, it's the future that matters. As I see it, TPRO has found a niche. So far as I know, they are the only player with a tool in this niche. So I expect the stock to run. If you crank through the potential revenues, using conservative estimates this stock should quadruple easily in 2 years. As factories start to scramble to address the problem, they will look for tools to expedite the process no matter the cost. By your reasoning AOL shares would not be where they are today. AOL only recently turned a profit (albeit questionable in my mind). Yet the street has given it an enormous valuation, even though it's service faces considerable competition in the next 2 years.
