I guess the jury is still out as the whether the sale of the CPE business is ultimately good or not.

Remember when CGRM sold the TTS to LHSPF about a year ago? Their stock has split since then and risen about 5 fold!!! I think that CGRM's premature sale of LHSPF stock was a spectacular blunder.

The TTS was a nifty technology, but CGRM couldn't develop and market it. So the wise thing to do was to get it in strong hands (in this case LHSPF) in exchange for their stock. This way, if they run with it, you profit!

Their initial 200,000 shares of LHSPF would have increased to 400,000 with the stock split. Current price is $58 for total net worth of $23.2 million. Subtract the original 5 million dollar sale price for the TTS, and that translates into a net profit of over 18 million dollars, or about $2.50 a share.

What a spectacular blunder. The decision to sell was made by the old team, prior to Puette.
