JP. Agree. Soon enough we will see the open doors, and the initial trail where this is going, but it will take so many turns that we never anticipated, its best just to get the general picture, and enjoy the prospect of positive unknowns that makes an average stock a blockbuster. Otherwise , you may put yourself into a mental corner where you start "predicting" a sell point based on fundamentals, and its those unknowns that blow such predictions out of the water.

If the upcoming PR reveals info about client's generates revenues then some financial estimates can be made. Sometimes however the first client is not revenue producing but the contract is done for "getting into business" purpose or some technology swap. In any case any real numbers coming from FNTN could be on the lower side for that reason. Radim

I agree in part. But if you don't TRY to answer the questions, how is it possible to make any meaningful evaluation of whether any stock is worth buying, and at what price? The "true believers" will say this is a great concept, wonderful people, right idea at right place at right time, etc. Me, I like a stock with a good, believable story, but before I plunk my money down I want numbers, too. The best product in the world is useless if nobody buys it, or if you can't sell it, or if you can't sell it at a profit. So while one can't expect to get pro formas that will be identical with the actual results a year or two or five out, I, at least, need to make the attempt so I can know that there is a good chance of long-term profitability in the story (and therefore legs under the stock, long-term.)
