Interesting stats on todays trading action: Total # of trades: 54 Avg volume per trade: 1,711 shares Total # of BUYS (ask): 48 Total # of SELLS (bid): 6 In last hour there were 11 trades (buys) @ 15/16 equaling 18,200 shares bought AT THE HIGH. ONE MAJOR PLUS ABOUT NEW CEO: HE WILL BE THE LARGEST SINGLE SHAREHOLDER....now we've finally got someone running the company that has the majority of his net worth tied to shareholders # 1 concern....STOCK PRICE. As a result of this deal, there is IMMEDIATE NEW REVENUE and profits from 3 sources: 1) Unicor's current revenue/profit (yes, they are profitable) 2) Unicor's NEW revenue from new access to TSSW's customers 3) TSSW's NEW revenue from new access to UNICOR's customers When it comes to mergers/acquisitions...1+1 usually equals 3 or 4...thus the advantage of consolidation. Any overlapping/similar areas present opportunities to cut costs and gain economies of scale....and any unique/specialized areas present opportunites to leverage each others existing customers..etc. As far as turnaround nearterm...dunno....have to wait till we can talk to NARATH....but with a company the size of TSSW...these new revs/profits could have a drastic near term impact on the balance sheet. Small gains on small revenue = large percentage improvement. Just look at the stock today... small gain (7/32)=large percentage gain(30+%). (ok, maybe that last example just verifies the pitiful stock price...<gg>)
