Agreed. Any mention of a contract with HBOC would be huge with or without numbers, but until we see the contract I will not be counting my chickens. Rumors are just that and what's in black and white is what I invest in. Earl

>>>Let's say HDIE announces that HBOC has selected HDIE as its software integration supplier.<<< Don't forget that HBOC may also announce that it has selected HDIE as its software integration vendor. As HBOC is followed by 24 analysts and trades an average 5 mil shares/day, think of the ramifications of such an announcement. If the agreement is over a 5-year period, is not atypical to post a maximum value for the contract. Like others on this thread, I want to know when!!! Charliss is right - it's like we want to see this child grow up NOW! :-) I think that for those of us who have been in since April, it no longer bears resemblance to the desire for immediate gratification. We just want gratification. Dealing with the unknown has never been my forte. Even with day-trading, you're still dealing with the unknown. Just within shorter time periods. Even if you jump out of HDIE into something else perhaps more lucrative, you're still dealing with the unknown. There is never a sure thing. Even though HDIE has limited downside, we're not sure when we'll see significant upside. But we believe we will. I'm not sure how many actual sources of factual information we have joining us here on this thread, but I have always been amazed that everyone seems to be singing out of the same songbook. There's a consistency about all of these 'rumors' that bears mentioning.
