ALYD will exceed 36% quarterly growth in some if not all of the following quarters in 98. I would guess that the company's revenues will exceed 70 million this year and will earn in excess of $1.50 a share. If based on this model ALYD does ramp up to $75 million, add another $.66 to get to $1.82. And this is based on 70% incremental margins, not the 77% we saw for Q1. Stick that in your bottom line.

Re: Becoming emotionally involved You talk about Tech Master being emotionally involved with ALYD as if it were some big revelation. If it took someone summarizing his posts to make you realize that then you really need to ask yourself if reading internet stock-talk sites such as this is really a good idea for you. Every thread has people who are cheerleaders. Every thread has people who are naysayers. And every thread has people who don't give a damn about the company as long as it goes up or down depending on their position. I really hope this is not another revelation for you. The most insidious individuals are the ones who use unethical means to further their agenda. These are the people who post under a variety of names to give the allusion that others are validating their point of view. These are the people who are paid by competitors of a particular company in order to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt. With Tech Master you know where he stands. Read his non-ALYD/Y2K related posts and then judge his credibility. Ask yourself why he is widely followed on the Stock Swap thread, where he mostly talks about stocks other than ALYD. Then ask yourself why a "variety" of people see fit to personally attack him. Might he have struck a nerve? Might he have uncovered something illicit going on? Why are people sending him threatening hate mail? There's more here than meets the eye. If that clouds your vision then I suggest you shop around SI for a thread where everyone is nice and friendly and use Roberts Rules of Order to debate the issues. - Jeff

Bottom Line, Thanks for your support. It should be clear to everyone on this thread that Mr. Tech Master and friends are tied into ALYD. He was on a mission to cloud the eyes of the unsuspecting sheep. These people, Tech Master, Jeff Mitchell, Truth, etc. claim to understand and know about all facets of ALYD's business, yet they had no clue that the earnings wouldn't be as good as the numbers they threw around on this thread ? Are we to believe that either they are not as knowledgeable as they claim to be with ALYD, or that they purposely held back from sharing the truth. either way you look at it, something isn't right here. The problem isn't that corporate America or the world needs to wake up to the year 2000 problem (that is given) The problem here is simple. ALYD reported numbers that were lower than the expectations put out by management and members of this thread. ALYD brought in dilution with the 2 million shares that were part of the option plan, right before they announced numbers. ALYD has not been able to get things done on time or to put out accurate estimates or promote shareholder value. You the small investors in ALYD have felt the brunt of the pain, but haven't reaped any of the rewards. We were all told that it's okay that 2 million shares were going to come out due to the option plan. We were told that those poor workers at ALYD need to benefit from their hard work. But, did they tell you or show you who else was going to benefit from those 2 million shares ? We were all told that it is okay Gruder dumped 100,000 shares, he needs to be rewarded for his hard work. Well how about the shareholders ? When will they be rewarded ? Why is it okay for everyone in this company to make money off of the stock but the shareholders ? When will they get to realize some rewards for sticking with ALYD ? this isn't a problem due to not understanding ALYD's business model, or the street not understand the growth potential. This is a problem of management not meeting up to the obligation they have to the shareholders, to PROMOTE SHAREHOLDER VALUE.
