Hello Douglas,
I am sure MS will make the right decision. On the other hand to get the stock out of the undeserved BB status, a little perky news is all it will take. Are the internet stocks all that affected at this time? There is so much possible news on the horizon, that some news should buoy the stock and bring the imminence of the Nasdaq status to the smart investing public soon. The more I understand their InTRAnet for insurance brokers etc , more convinced I become that the time spent developing the Intranet was probably not any more than was necessary and so the competition will not have an easy time catching up. As I found out in my limited random survey the insurance brokers are totally in the dark as to the near availability of a solution to their long-term problem. They are likely to become the users and the investors when this solution is presented to them.
Harry

Hello Bob,
Good questions all of them. This company was totally invisible just 6 weeks ago
and the stock price was dangling at $0.60. So far with the veil lifting a little
at a time, the stock which is known to less than 500 investors (only 105 are
known to me directly), has done a triple and held ground even in a general
market rout. If it goes over $4 it will meet the most important Nasdaq listing
requirement. Even Siemens may announce the intranet on their behalf and that
will generate interest. I am going to pose your questions on the FNTN site at
www.techstocks.com and see if someone has a better idea. As far as I know, these
answers are not known at present and if satisfactorily answered, which I hope
that they will be, should give an outstanding stimulus to this company. I shall
farward any comments I receive to you later.
Thanks very much for the response. It is great to get some insightful comments.
Pal

Douglas:

Might be some credence to what you say, however look at what happened with Geocities' (sp?) IPO - it went through the roof!
