To All..... Doug's post was factual and enlightening. It summarizes most all of the meaningful issues involved with Forecross stock. I am happy he QUALIFIED the last point as a RUMOR because I too have heard all sorts of various rumors of late and DISCOUNT all of them. I think I would have heard of any potential buy-out, but HAVE NOT. Mr. Forthright, your criticism is as short-sighted as can be. You describe an otherwise crystal-clear post as a "lame-attempt" only to avoid addressing the remainder of the FACTUAL post. You shorts are a LAUGH as you will quote out of context and deceive whenever possible. Neither you nor your pals have the slightest idea of what you are involved in and absolutely no understanding of technology or the Y2k problem horizon. Let's all deal in Facts and avoid ANY HYPERBOLE whatsoever, long or short. FRX is a real and viable company with a real and viable Y2k FACTORY AUTOMATED solution that is the most real and viable answer to the larger Y2k problem. They ARE NOT NEAR any bankruptcy, liquidation or business-ending fate. They have more than adequate sources for capital-raising activities and remain well-connected to factions of the investment communities able to arrange necessary capital infusions. Enough said, let's watch and wait.

As to the rumor, here is a little food for thought, GM/Ford/MCBenz all compete, they have all teamed up in a little company called Ballard Power. These companies have done this to secure access to new tech. and an advantage in their market place.None of them could buy Ballard on their own. As to FRX.U several companies have formed teaming up agreements to get access to FRX.U tech, to give them an advantage in their market place. It's not impossible to think that if one of them could try to buy FRX.U ( the price of one Fortune 500 Contract) they would not do so to shut out there competitors and gain sole access to the tech. I admit it's only a rumor but my source from Calgary has been more right than wrong. In closing it should be noted that Ballard stock has gone up 500% in the past year, they make no money, they are five to ten years off from making any income and the principals in that company have paid themselves millions of dollars this year. Just some food for thought!
