Hi Cal, I was thinking the very same thing about the pre-announcing of major deals here on the thread before the company officially announces them. It will definitely take some of the positive surprise out of the news releases. Although Mr. Yandamuri has been doing it a lot, I doubt that it is he who is causing us to get on the 'hot list'. That honor goes to the latest press release and the ingenuity of it. A total of 11 different companies were linked on that press release. Therefore every online investor who follows any of those 11 companies will have discovered TCBG. 7 of those companies are listed on the NYSE so I would venture a guess that many thousands of investors at least read that press release. Unfortunately, I'll bet that a vast majority of them didn't follow up on TCBG. The reason is because it is a BB stock. Previous to TCBG, when I would start to research a new stock, as soon as I saw that it was a BB stock I would immediately end my research right there. However, out of the possible thousands of investors we could have intrigued several hundred to at least take a look. As you know one of the best places to find out quickly what a stock's story is about is to come here to SI before moving on to other sources. I am sure that this could be the reason we are on the hot list. I have mentioned before that there will be a lot of new people coming to this thread as things begin to heat up. That is why, like you, I believe we need to stick to the facts and have good indepth discussion on this thread so that new investors can quickly see the potential of this company and hopefully become intrigued enough to want to do more DD and eventually purchase some stock. That is what will make this stock climb, new money coming in all the time. I must have read a hundred posts here that say " We're going to make a move to the next level next week ", those posts don't help potential investors understand this company. We can be sure that TCBG will run that same press release again the week prior to the show airing. Mark
