In the BB Market, Lack of News and False Assumptions (intentionlly or unintentionaly), as was clearly laid out in Jim Porter's post, will cause a decline in price, every single time. This is the BB market, stocks behave differently over here. (But, hey, it just creates very good buying opportunities for the real long term holders or for those that have been waiting to buy in at the best possible price.)

Dear Kevin, Have you been flamed? Maybe. Just cause no cuss words are used on this thread doesn't mean people aren't "put in their place." Your assumptions about the share calculations turned out to be wrong, but you had a right to ask them. People trying to convince you that your single question accounted for the softness in the stock are either 1) simply wrong or 2)disingenuous. An emotional tone is kept on this thread by a circle of posters who attempt to control it by suggesting everyone "go fishing," for a couple of days, or who bury questions by a slew of postings, or who even jokingly suggest you private message them before posting. After some turbulence, then, there is the usual war cry that we're as good as Yahoo -- and the accompanying posts that second that emotion -- and that we'll be a $30 stock in a year or two. No way, Jose. Yahoo is an internet portal. FNTN sells a product. BIG difference. Secondly, DCTM, that other intranet company I like to talk about, has over $100 million in sales already on an annualized basis on the same number of shares that FNTN has, in effect, WITHOUT any sales. There must be a big dollar investment to get us into their league and that will certain cost us in diluation. Why can't we just be happy we'll get a triple or quadruple out of this stock and reassess the price target as we go along? The cheerleader cry about big stock prices has as much to do with what will happen to this stock as the mini-prayer circle that was posted this afternoon. Please don't misunderstand me. I have deep belief in prayers. However, if I have to pray for a stock, that -- by definition -- is the kind of stock I don't want in my portfolio. What made this stock decline this week is not your question, but that nagging question that lurks in the background about how much/how soon will revenues arrive.; --Ariella
