Straw man argument? My contention is that even if TAVA does show earnings it won't be nearly enough to justify the current stock value. They are a consulting firm who is in bad financial trouble right now. Like ZITL they have bet their future on a market that goes away in about 10 months. If you believe all that crap about post y2k "business synergy" then you need to be in CD's. The "100 Fortune 50-500" companies you mention have only agreed to pay real money IF the services if TAVA are utilized. That's a hell of a lot different than a firm contract with minimums. You also state; "KEA is a consulting firm and has been the best performing stock of the 1999's... funny that... what do they offer that other company's don't?" Well, one thing they offer that TAVA doesn't is a history of success and profitability.

Ron, I have said all along that TAVA has too many shares outstanding to put up any kind of earnings numbers in the long run. They will not be able to retain the earnings momentum, in their core business, that they will have over the next few quarters from Y2K. The money has to be made between next quarter and the end of '99. After that, they are completely finished and will return to a $2 automation engineering stock that will be completely ignored.
