RESPONSE TO TEDennis: Highly positive on TPII, that's why I invested in it. There are always some minor risks...hell, Bill Gates could die in a plane crash, but the odds are 90% POSITIVE on TPII and I am a very conservative BB investor. I make highly educated choices and invest when odds are strongly in my favor. TEDennis WROTE TO ME: "These posts were all made by you. Is there a source of verifiable information for this claim other than you or the IR/PR department? " {he was speaking of the Lockheed bid and TPII finsihing 2nd place} MY RESPONSE: Im my 20 years of investing on the stock market, I have rarely found established PR firms that would outright lie, especially on facts like the above. The news on TPII finishing in second place to Lockheed in a recent Fortune 500 bid award, would not be something worth lying about anyway. This news, of itself, is not big news that would move the stock. Besides the amount of details given to me about it, gave me complete confidence. To me, it was one of the very subtle psotives. It is just another image building fact. At first, I was thinking that it might be worth looking up Lockheed news to see what recent bid they won, but then I realized it is not worth my time. Feel free to do that if you want to make a big deal about it, Ted. I have become pretty good at learning who to trust and believe and who not to. My radar is pretty good. ******** FWIW: I am not going to carry on a banter about TPII, TED. You know how I feel, and I feel the only thing missing from TPII is wider exposure. I feel good about Hambrecht and Quist quietly buying the stock for their clients and I think we truly have a winner here. Will it drop back to 1-3/8 or so? Possibly, but I will buy more if it does, because I am looking at the 6 month scenario....with a minimum $5.00 price. DAVE PS- TED, you are going to an awful lot of work to raise some skepticism. As everyone always has an agenda, what is yours? Don't get defensive...I just would tend to respect you more if you "came clean". Knowing investor behavior like I do, my guess is: a) you like TPII but want to pick up some cheaper shares b) you are beginning to think you sold too early and are trying to justify your decision to do so c) you are paid by the MM's who have a large short position to raise some doubt in new, potential investor's minds, so they don't get caught in the proverbial "short squeeze" d) you ARE a shareholder now, but you are insecure in your investment decision.
