Regarding some of the earlier comments here, I've also thought "if only there was some way to turn TSIS into an Internet stock..." We would be looking at a 55 dollar stock instead of a 55 cent stock! That's not an exaggeration, either. Just look at all of the Internet-related companies that are years away from profitability, but have share prices of $80+. I've told Scott Cameron before that they need to do more with their Web site. At the very least, it would 1) make them look like more of a high-tech company (even if they're not), and 2) take some of the burden off their IR people by providing access to news releases, financial data, etc. To expand upon a comment made earlier, TSIS could combine an investor communications Web site with their InvestorReach service. This would be news releases, financials, and realaudio/video presentations and interviews with key personnel of their clients. This wouldn't cost a lot - it's the same info as is available over the phone - but might bring more investor attention to TSIS by making them "sexier." All of their clients could be featured on the same site (with links from the companies' sites) so Applied Materials shareholders could check out Seagate, etc. Also, TSIS needs to get a better PR firm. Just issuing press releases isn't going to bring in new investors. Who sees press releases -- only people who already know about the company. They need to have articles written about them, if not in the Wall Street Journal then in trade journals and local newspapers. They need to be featured in some investment newsletters. They need to get some brokers behind them. Those things don't happen by accident. Good, aggressive PR firms aren't cheap, but if TSIS is going to be discovered by the rest of the world (beyond us), they will need some help. Disclaimer: This company has come a long way, and I think they're on the right track. These are just my suggestions after a long day and a couple of glasses of wine.
