we want to be sure your major competitor doesn't have a feature or two you might be lacking. So we'll trial with them for the next year or so and in the end you may or may not get the business It's certainly a 'historical' moment, isn't it? To see the beginnings & intrigue surrounding the entire Financial community picked up by it's ankles, and set on its head by the massive power of this thing we call the internet. Yahoo! Baby!

Being as much as everybody on this thread frustrated with stock price humping nowhere, I'd like to say that I absolutely agree with you. Even more, I don't see anything wrong with banks' behavior. They are customers, and "shopping around" is what customers are all about. It is absolutely new and scary stuff to them. Nobody wants to get burned first. They just are not ready yet psychologically. CF has a lot of hand holding to do with banks right now. Quality of hand holding will decide who will get the contract after pilots are completed. The worse thing CF can do now is to exhibit any signs of immature behavior. Just wait and grin, IMHO.
