Sal, great idea if it was August.... just like the Y2K incarnetion, they were a day late and a dollar short... If you remember they were not a Y2K company at first and then they tried to jump on the bandwagon.... To bad they were the ONLY Y2K company that did not see significant price appreciation at that time.... They just couldn't get out of their own way...... Well, if they don't make it, their tombstone should read "The little engine that couldn't".... or how about "The McFool fooled everyone (including themselves)"

I would agree. The management seems to to be specialists in the C/D business. I have not seen an announcement for some time that has revenue attached to it. I wonder if the senior management understands what revenue is. I have been following this stock for over two years and even occasionally investing in it. It is my opinion that TPI only has a very limited window of opportunity now. The financial records, that they have made public through SEC filings, indicate that they have invested or valued their Transform/400 migration software at 12.5 Million, yet they have only 127,000 revenue in the history of TPI for this product line. Their biggest success seems to be in the services that they sell in support of the sales force automation product that IAC out of Dallas sells. I don't know what they are doing with all these programmers that they seem to be continually hiring. I have invested in internet companies that are losing dollars, but they are growing revenue every quarter. And that is not to say that TPI is an internet company. Admittedly, they only sell services. TPI is only spinning wheels and losing dollars. How long have you been following TPI?
