Andrew, on RNTK I'd give the company 3-6 weeks. Then if no news re-evaluate. On HDIE, I don't think 10-20 is an unreasonable figure on the expections of what is expected. If and when these deals are announced watch some of these firms start to handle it. We will see over the next month. Personally, I'm glad they aren't pumping news out right now. The market is to sluggish. We need a more bullish trend when this news hits. S

Andrew, Sounds like a plan. Give it another four weeks, you are saying.... <I think the announcement of a large contract with numbers would move HDIE higher, although I am skeptical of those suggesting an quick double or a near term move to 10 or 20.> Four weeks, say five, could, maybe, give us something under $10...maybe $6 a share...a gain of over $2. Roughly speaking, then, we are anticipating a $2 a share gain over five months, using April... If one had 20,000 shares, that is a $40,000 gain in under half a year, no matter that the shares were purchased over the entire period.... Then, one could measure this $8,000 a month against what could be made day or swing trading with the same amount of increasing principle, if one were successful in the trading... Additionally, one could compare HDIE's relative safety/limited downside vs the trading approach... So, using a conservative $2/6 months, this is pretty good. Also, while there will always be ample day and swing trades available in the future, how many like HDIE are we likely to encounter? Hope no one minds that I have been using thread space to do some thinking out loud. This helps me to sort out the emotional from the real content. What it comes down to, I think, is that with such relative safety one can rest and wait on fulfillment of rumor with less anxiety than what might be normal in the market. Certainly, this alone counts for something. Also, the fact is, this is a good company with good management and a good plan that seems to be unfolding. The next factor would be our trust in the rumors, our belief in their substance. So as you say Andrew, perhaps another four weeks worth of time may be sufficient to bear this out. Thanks... Charliss
