Steve, I think CCUR will be told to wait (assuming they have an announcement) for a few days, maybe sometime next week, so that SEAC can bask in the limelight of their announcement. Otherwise, they would get no benefit. Ken

Steve, I understood that the annual was printed and mailed yesterday. When that happens, anyone who visits the company, or works for the printer, etc. has access to a publicly available document. That is why the sec installed the edgar system. I didn't know about this yesterday, and found it by calling around all afternoon and early evening to see who was buying and why. This kind of thing happens regularly when documents are made available. If it really irritates you, you should leave a fedex number with a company and ask to have one of the initial run fedexed to you asap. I have certainly done that before, although not in this case. As far as the people who sold yesterday, you and I both know that they made their own decisions. And let's face it, this is now out in the public, and the stock is not higher than it was yesterday afternoon before it was released. And you and I both also know that the skeptics can still loudly say "corky is full of hype, etc." After all, this say a large cable company is going to try the server. To which I could say "wow" big deal. Which company? How much money? etc. PS This is why retail investors either have to take a long term view or hire a competent manager who is willing to dig and phone and pay for fedex delivery. And as you also know, everything except that nebulous mention of the large cable company was discussed on that miserable conference call we had. So this is really not news at all. We should have believed goodboy, who told us that twx and sfa said seac and ccur. That post, after all, contained more information than the letter. And as far as the web goes, you are right, you would not have sen this until your brokerage firm repackaged the annual and mailed it to you. But you already know. Should you be criticized for reading si?
