This might not turn out to be the best day for the release of news, even if it is ready. Potential gray in the market day as buyers wait for job figures tomorrow and analyze the market day for Europe. If RG has something for us and feels next week is better, that's okay. I've stuck long for some time now, and no faith is lost yet. Raven

Steve, Thanks for stating what most of the longs feel. I particularly like the reference to mass production. The Card is very close to that concept. While the competitors continue to churn through their revenues to attract one customer at a time and reattract the same customer as a repeat, TSIG accomplishes this through the sale of the Card. The Card concept is brilliant due to the fact the advertising cost of acquiring a customer can now be used for new customers only. The Card purchase, as long as the service of CCI remains good and the cost per unit CD remains among the lowest in the industry, insures a repeat customer. I think it is a nice feeling for CCI to wake up in the morning and count the number of Cards on the books. Then look at the average purchase of CDs along with the percentage of Card reloads and be able to say with fair accuracy what their earnings will be without growth. Of course with the marketing and business plan in full swing the growth of Card sales should expand beyond projections. The competition can only say, if the advertising is successful and the competition doesn't win, we will sell some CDs. Bob

Steve and all, There is a lot of discussion about PRs and the lack of them. Understand the workings TSIG must complete before they can release one. Corporate sales are different from individual sales. Remember we are looking at deals worth millions instead of 9.99 per. First they must find a potential customer and propose and nurture them to the closing table. This takes many conversations and meetings along with proposal changes. You see TSIG is not buying, they are selling. At the closing table provided the proposal is acceptable, the implementation talks begin. A major corporation may be making plans for a future quarter. The deal could be signed and done but the PR by TSIG could be held at bay due to the contractual requirements of the purchasing company. They want to announce the deal when it best fits their schedule. The time involved in the sales cycle indicates the time is at hand for the deals to begin being announced as closed with implemention dates. With the rumours running rampant over the last few weeks of emminent announcements, I would tend to believe we can start counting the days instead of weeks. Be very careful and weigh the options of TSIG/CCI's potential success and the position of it's share price before eliminating any position currently being held. My opinion is the upside from here far outweighs any remaining negatives. Bob
