To All:As Im here cleaning the house for relations visit, I just want to beat the dead horse one more time. There are a few of us that sold out our investment in an internet stock only to look back in pain at the fortune we could have had. And why did we sell? Well, back then the internets were not generating revenue. AOL was losing money, competitors were out there, and there was supposedly technology that would make AOL and other internets obsolete. All these reasons and more that clouded the issue of whether to stay in or not. The two things that AOL and others DID have was a great management team with exceptional talent and vision, and a unique product that was growing in a new area. THATS ALL that one could cling too to stay in. No one knew the future of the internets or the e-commerce concept and how it would grow. Not even at shareholders meetings could you have gained specific knowledge that would show you the future. you just had to depend on the management to be innovative enough to keep things going, and be willing to take the RISK to stay the course. FEW DO. But those taht do in instances such as these walk away from the table RICH and their lives changed. We are at this stage with FNTN. We have an exceptional management base, and a great concept,and supposedly we will hear of contracts, and possibly a little look at the future. But the things that will make FNTN grow for the future, will come in the future. If FNTN makes it to a big player, you will not be able to see that clearly now. You have to depend on management and the marketplace to take us there. Its a wild card. but we've got the two basics going strong. Can't wait till tomorrow. I'll be shopping and in the movie theaters till late afternoon. Its my only sactuary from all this until folks start reporting in.
