Yes. But in BB stocks, the "investor" usually has very little to look at. Thats why the stock is BB. there is very little behind it. FNTN has a miltibillion dollar international company behind it. I don't know many BB stocks with that under their headings. FNTN is not ready to announce. We go with that. You can look at the glass half full, yada, yada, yada. If you concentrate on some aspects it doesn't have, then it looks pretty bad, if you look at some aspects it DOES have, then it looks great. Thats why at every stage in a stocks growth, you have people buying and selling. Different people look for different things in a company. Some will see a management team and vision and product plan and buy into the idea. Others will look for the "fundamentals" and see none, and move on, or if in, then finally sell. Either one could be right. People bought and sold AOL and other internets day after day, as it rose and split 4 times. Each day some people bought and some people sold. There was never any idea who was right as it was happening. We only know now who was right by hindsight. IT will be the same for FNTN.

Christopher, thanks for sharing the reply to your e-mail. I think it is safe to assume that Empire Financial has a signed contract with FNTN. I also believe that they can sell you a product or service now; their intranet is up. Why would they engage the services of salespeople if they have nothing to sell?

Christopher, Chimnoy, and all: I know I've responded to some that want financials, wonder why if they are selling a product the price isn't going up, and others that ask for a list of competitors. I'll be honest that some days I have my doubts. I get very enthusaistic on stocks I buy into. THATS why I bought them. Because I think they have a great chance at growth. So when I and others post enthusaistically, its called hype. In a way it is, but for me its not to pump the price up. Its just the way I feel about the stock. I"ve been wrong on other stocks, and I've finally moved on from them. For those that want more info on the company, it seems they are in the middle as to investing philosophy. They want to get in on the ground floor, get in on a stock thats selling around $1, but they also want the information that comes with a stock that usually is priced much higher. Some will have to come to terms with that. I also would like more info, but I also know that as news develops, and financials come in, and we have more fundamentals, then this stock aint going to be selling for $1. Some days I also have severe doubts. And I wonder if this isn't another trip down a dead end. But then I have to look at what "fundamentals" we do have. The Siemens link is phenomenal. The recent posts by Wally shows us that the partnership is growing. We have basically been told that a milti national company is behind FNTN and will continue such. We know they have missed kind of promised "dates/schedules", but we also know how things go in development some time. And EACH company is different, and EACH company has different problems that come up. so we really can't do much of a comparison. Again, lets drag up Warren Buffet. Ok. We know he would never invest in a BB stock. And he never invests in technology. But he does base his investment first in the product, and then in the management. And then he sits back and hopes that the management has vision enough to keep competitive and grow. REMEMBER. WArren Buffet made most of his money in one stock. COKE. In 15 years, a $1000 investment would be worth about $80,000 today. So ole Warren won big on one stock. He had no way of knowing the CEO of coke would pull so many rabbits out of a hat , to make COKE such blockbuster. But he took the risk. The fundamentals meant little. Thats not what made Coke grow. It was the unknowns that the CEO and the market place produced. Warren Buffet invested in the FUTURE of COKE NOT the present. Thats what we are doing today with FNTN. Now, I go to my gardening.
