Thanks for posting that review Doug, I didn't want to be te one to post Datacom's review as several of the overly optimistic statements go well beyond my tastes. I have no way of confirming that two other institutional buyers will show up Monday though it may well be true. And I don't think it does the stock any good to be throwing numbers around like $1.20 and $1.60 next week. It builds unrealistic expectations, setting weak shareholders up for a bath. The benefit is only to day traders. That was part of the problem during the run a year ago and it has taken the stock a year to recover and begin generating optimism again. Sideware's technology and concept have substance (IMO) and the stock should build from the companies development. If it is whipsawed by newsletter writers, it is that much more difficult for shareholders to do real DD with $ signs floating before their eyes. After the bear we've endured on the VSE, it is difficult enough already to get anyone to think longterm. Everyone is trigger happy and the fuel Datacom has thrown on the fire further encourages quick profit flips at the expense of building a strong shareholder base to move on to the next level. However, having said that, I also say more power to the day traders; it keeps the market efficient. This company will make it or not despite obstacles and on its own merits. I just hope it is not, once again, the small shareholder that gets crushed in the surging back and forth. And finally, all this becomes a moot point with the signing of one or more major contracts. That IS coming at some point and I wouldn't want to be out of this stock at that point. thanks again for posting the review, ghunk
