Hi voyager... Tired? As in exhausted? Me, too. The problem here is that with every new quarter, there is yet another disclosure why the long-hoped-for uptick in earnings has again been delayed. The current quarter looks like it will be a barn burner revenue wise, but as the company has made special effort to point out, profit margins will be under par. Perhaps that is due to temporary conditions, and perhaps it is partially due to the weakness in the currency values of the Far East, or perhaps it is because the company aggressively priced some deals to get their foot in the door. Frankly, the stock acts like a pig despite the minuscule buying from insiders a while ago. Whatever the reason for the lethargy, management hasn't done much to create "interest" in the Wall Street community. Perhaps this becomes a fourth quarter stock. If the company reports north of $.30 for the fourth period, and the stock still doesn't move, I will begin to question all of my assumptions about the industry. Until then, I will merely have my patience tested. I am sure...given the profession I have chosen for my life's work...it won't be the last time. Have a good day.
