Microcap & Penny Stocks : CYCOMM (CYII)-on aquisition trail -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Small investors. It's a reality check for me when I talk to a broker about Cycomm International. Most of the time the response is something along the lines of "Cy..what? Nope, never heard of it." Getting a little recognition is more than half the battle at this point, but as Amy reminds us, once the earnings start to show up it will be hard to ignore. One guy I talked with is mainly concerned with protecting capital in any funds he controls. There is so much noise coming in daily that he lumps a lot of companies together without seeing each one independently. So a small firm like CYI is barely visible. From his perspective, with earnings showing up, even if he pays more for the stock I'd guess he would buy the future earnings stream. I haven't seen any sign that word is getting out on the company, sorry to say.

Don, you misunderstand. I don't think there is anything of substance for Cycomm to report this week - meeting or Not. If there was, Bud would report it. Meaningless PR does no one any good. The point I tried to make was that professional investors don't need a warm and fuzzy press release to buy. They tend to be more analtical then emotional. They also tend to accumulate a position over time. <<general public awareness of Cycomm>> ??? Just how much do you think the "general public" cares about secure computing and communications? <<It has not been the institutions that have run this stock up 3 fold>> 1) What makes you so sure of that? 2) If that's so, what news or event in particular do you attribute this rise to? <<If there is not a reasonable flow of information to the investors then the stock will fall back>> This is not msft or at&t, there is only so much news. I would hate to see BS PR. <<The Cycomm message has NOT reached the small investor and I have seen no real effort to get it out to them... Have you?>> I have no problem with Cycomm's efforts to get the word out. Oldtimers remember, we asked for a website, we got one. We asked for better PR, we got it. We asked to get this stock moving, they hired a company to help Bud do it. Small Investors - Frankly, small investors (buying on their own) are not going to move this stock. They do not understand the company nor the market. Which is a shame, because with cycomm's small float, small investors could control this stock. Don, what would you like to see Cycomm do to further create a demand for our baby? Best wishes, matt
