>>> I see Techmaster has even stopped rolling up his loose change, what better indicator can you get than that.<<< Says who? Do I need to tell you every time I buy? Will you even be around after your temporary visitor status expires in a few days? Or will you assume a new alias and start bashing the company all over again? >>> but I remember you said you have some options expiring soon I think, and when Gruder picks your pocket this time, you will be amazed how that affects your attitude.<<< Bob Gruder does not control the stock price... the market does... the MM's the shorts, the longs, the weak, and the strong dictate the share price. Its guys like you that try to blame somebody when the stock doesn't trade their way. This company is on track. Yes, Gruder is getting a hard lesson in managing Wall Street's expectations, but the company is busting out as we speak. I am still a buyer in this stock, and if Gruder stops shooting himself in the foot and learns to offer a more conservative earnings forcasts to the street then this stock is going to fly. Its easy for you and I to be critical as armchair quarterbacks. THIS IS THE BOTTOM LINE: Nobody has ever done this work before. Even the customers of ALYD are struggling with projects never undertaken by the software industry. Gruder and ALYD can only go by what their customers tell them. They are trying to demonstrate to the Street everything they want to see.... contracts, earnings, growth, life after Y2k, but professionals that hate Gruder are abusing the stock, hiring shills to sway opinion on forums like this, and anything else they can to trip ALYD up. Gruder makes mistakes... but so does everybody else. He is learning along with everybody else in Y2K in what it is going to take to have resources in place to address the looming crisis. When ALYD explodes with earnings soon... clowns like you will find something else to complain about... so we can address it then, but this company has fantastic technology, good people, big contracts, and a solid infrastructure. That is the bottom line... and I'll be here when you have come and gone. Tech Master
