I spoke to IR today and they said that as of now, there are NO press releases going out in the immediate future ... unless something happens within next week, which is not anticipated. There is a lot of news to come out once the companies start signing. But thus far, there is no indication that anything will be signed and, more importantly, ready for release prior to the financials. The accountant is working on the financials and hopes to have them ready by Friday ... but there is no guarantee. Trying to ... and actually having them ready ... are definitely far from the same thing as I have learned with TSIS. I hope to see them out this coming week; however, it is a short week and they may come out the early part of the following week. PLEASE DON'T SAY THAT NEWS IS EXPECTED BEFORE THE FINANCIALS ... YOU ARE CREATING EXPECTATIONS THAT MAY, OR MAY NOT, HAPPEN. IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING FOR A FACT, FINE, BUT DON'T SPECULATE. Speculation has always caused this stock to sell off when disappointment sets in. I know you are the "cheerleader" for this and I appreciate it. But I have been in this one probably longer than anyone on this thread, and now that we are finally getting somewhere, I hate to see it come crashing down because expectations are too great. Believe me, expectations on how this company will do are just fine ;... it is just the expectations of the "when" news will be released, and the "what" it will be. Just keep it general ... you understand there are a lot of deals in the works, big name companies, and that the company is hopeful that they will be able to release this information in the near future. Or, you have been told that news will be forthcoming in the next few weeks. Too specific will always come back and slap you in the fanny!!
