"WHERE'S THE BEEF?" one week later. Skip, one week ago you posed this question and I promised I would ask it this Friday if earnings were not out by today. Being a man of my word, I am asking "WHERE'S THE BEEF?", but in a RHETORICAL way. I got a little antsy and called TSIS Investor Relations on Wednesday. I have already posted what I had been told about earnings. In short, last minute changes had to be made, but everything is still on the "north of zero" side. Also, when I called I was told that indeed there were several news releases, in addition to earnings, set to come out as well. Several weeks ago I had speculated that TSIS would release earnings sometime between June 10th and the 20th. Well, it looks like that prediction isn't going to materialize. I know Scott Cameron from IR reads this thread, and I know he just has to prove that no one can predict what TSIS will do or when they will do it. That's as it should be. I would probably do the same thing. So here's a new tactic. I predict that there will NEVER be news or earnings released for TSIS ever again. Not next week, or the following, or next month, or EVER. There will be no new contracts announced soon and we'll still be waiting 10 years from now for earnings, whether they're north, south, east, or west of zero. Everyone might as well sell their TSIS right now and buy into a mutual fund... Now Scott, PLEASE prove me wrong. Have a great weekend everyone, R. Gates PS- for those of you not familiar with my dry sense of humor I just want you to know that I am very long with a large position on TSIS and I think TSIS one of the very best BB stocks out there. I don't plan on selling anytime this year. There ARE big things right around the corner, but only Scott, Don, and a handful of others at TSIS know the who, what, and when of these big things. If they told us before it was time, they would go to jail...and that would be a bad thing.
