>> If we get a great release soon, with no numbers, I will probably sell and buy back later.<< Sounds like a plan of action that several on this board may take. At the very least the company could give a range of what they think the contract might be worth. Any CEO might say his stock is a steal at current prices. That may get you good press for a couple of months but then people are going to start looking for numbers.

>>>You may be right, David, but (in that case) don't expect much price appreciation before another quarter or two of earnings.<<< Richard, better do a little homework on how the market works. Let's say HDIE announces that HBOC has selected HDIE as its software integration supplier. No numbers. What do you think happens within 5 minutes of this press release? Every analyst and broker is on the phone to HDIE and HBOC asking for the $ amount. HBOC would tell them that they only use 1 company at a time and that they do $30-$50 million dollars per year in software integration business. This would also likely be in their 10K. A $ amount does not have to be waved in the faces of the people that matter (brokers and analysts), just to internet folk who need things spelled out to them
