ACNTF ,, from a member ,, Lots of people holding stock between $3-$9. Change of corporate strategy to focus on selling to developers. Focus on local translation and globalizing of applications. No competition. Shrink wrap business winding down but still generates revenues. Only a profit will sustain the price at higher levels, and they expect to do one this year based upon the new developer products. The announced German deal is not as big as the hype. They only get a royalty and already had a similar deal in Italy. Each of these deals will generate about 1 million over life of product. Not a big quarerly impact but almost all profit. The Russian deal is again confirmed as being a certainty. There are a number of brewing partnerships that could lead to takeover. But the insiders have no incentive to sell at the price they paid for the stock. I see it as a long term hold and a buy at current level. Don't see any downside and they are for real.

You have one good point, "if story is credible". Do you really think Media-Markt, Dell, Compaq, etc. would sign at this time new contracts with a company just before it breaks. Here I trust the investigations these contract partners of ACNTF have done. By the way, I'm also in the business. I belong to the MS haters, too. MS has great ideas, but up to today I've not sen one NEW MS product with good quality. Always VERY POOR quality. Be first and let the market "test the quality into the product" after the market has bought it. Gogo

Reality often differs. This company is changing from shrink wrap to targeting developers. They have restructured. Those leaving always pan the company. New strategy looks excellent and they have real products without any competition as demonstrated by the German deal. There is nothing that a first profit won't cure, and I expect them to make one this year.

Re: ACNTF. How do you prove that you're credible on the Web? I reported accurately what my Israeli software C.E.O. contact said about engineers leaving. Probably the company can't pay them -- no-one denies that ACNTF lost a barrelful of money, but got a new $4.5m infusion late last year, the remainder of which is all they have to live on now. For all that, ACNTF is a turnaround play, and my friend may not know about some big contract they have in the works. Nonetheless, the word from Israel was enough for me to take my small loss and go home.
