I have some concern that the majority of "the street", that is those who have actually looked at this company, are too busy looking at the actual numbers the company has posted in the past. They are waiting for concrete information they can sink their teeth into, like so many of us here. We haven't shown the growth potential that brings floods of new comers. This current market has been momentum driven and CCUR has had a little momentum on it's side while it waits for "everything" to fall into place. Let's face it, CCUR is a highly speculative investment which brings with it volatility and a relatively low profile. We have talked about growth, those of us who are long believe we see growth potential, but until such time as concrete numbers show growth or company guidance indicates substantial growth, we will continue to be in the same boat we've been in for the last couple of years, early to the party. I guess it's getting old to say "we're closer everyday", although I truly believe that is the case. I would also caution people from throwing out a target stock price until more pieces of the puzzle are known. $10 sounds like a nice round target but do we really know where this story will lead? BWDIK, Michael (edit...I should make it clear that this company is not "waiting" for everything to fall into place. They are working their collective tails off while we investors do the waiting....)

Investing is probably the most difficult project you or I will ever attempt to master. The hourly and daily movements of stocks are for the most part 'noise' when considering the big picture. Individual companies and stock movements go through cycles as does everything else in life. As an investor one must ask at what stage is this company and what is the most probable long term trend of the stock. Long term is considered between two and five years at the least. Answer this question ENOTS and you will know what to do. That is assuming you want to invest versus trade. Traders on the other hand do not really consider the big picture for the most part and often 'plunge' with huge amounts of money to take advantage of temporary 'overbought' and 'oversold' conditions. Temporary meaning several days to several months. The traders ......despite the frustration their actions may have on 'us' investors provide a very important and necessary function in the market place ....that being to provide liquidity. For without the traders the hourly and daily swings would be much larger and the irritation these 'down' days provide us would be much worse. Of course you know all this. Now....who do you want to be? A trader or an investor? Before answering this question you should do some research. Despite what some of the best traders may tell you it is extremely difficult to 'out-maneuver' the market such to consistently beat the averages over the long term. Now I'm not saying it can't be done. Tudor Jones and Richard Dennis do it in the commodity markets. But they are 'plunging' for the most part. The whole key to becoming a great trader is developing a trading plan that only considers the 'high' probability trades and having the fortitude to stick to the plan no matter what. Most traders I suspect are unable to do that. So....here we are. You ask "where is all the buying"? Well....it was there. All the way from 1 and change to 4 5/8. Back and filling is a part of this game and will always be with us. Get used to it....it ain't goin away. If your 'uncle' point is too large scale back. If you no longer want to invest sell your lot and become a trader. But don't forget to formulate your plan first and put it in writing. Good luck to you as always. See ya. dh
