<<For example I have recently been made aware of a message that stated Franklin Telecommunications Corp. has reinvented itself for years and years, coming up with little or nothing to show for it.>>

Is it me or is it Frank Peters? I hope this is not really the CEO of Franklin who approved/made this post.

He states the former statement and then goes on to demonstrate how FTEL has revinvented itself many times. The "little or nothing" was in reference to those great new products/services that were expected to sell well and never did. Do you remember which ones they are?

Also, look at the revenues and earnings for the last six years:

As I said, FTEL has little (maybe they have something, even if relatively puny), to show for it.

I appreciate Frank's help in documenting some of FTEL's reinventions.

Perhaps we just see things differently, but I think my opinion is based on a reasonable premise and my posts certainly are malicous.

FTEL: $ 2.44a
