Crusader: Fiscal year loss of <.03> was a result of all the turmoil, business refocus etc. around converting from a technology hardware supplier to a software services firm. It was a year of consolidation of acquired companies, product lines, etc. Not to mention the unfocused management... Clearly the last two quarters show operating profits indicative of a $ 10.00 stock. Plus that they hold some ETEL shares. Just need a couple of more .09 quarters to show it. Today's normal profit taking is encouraging. Like to see it base here for a while...

I recommended SOCT several times on this post in early December when it was 1 and change and trading below book value. However, SOCT has had over a 200% run-up in the past couple days, so taking some profits is probably a good idea. However, I would buy back on weakness. I wonder if some analyst firms are going to start covering SOCT-it would be about time.... What's the deal with SOCT's $5 restructuring loss--Did they record all of this in the last quarter, or was this already reflected in their last balance sheet??
