Nord, I now see that you probably misunderstood my earlier comments. I'm not questioning the truth of the company's statements. I take them at face value. What I'm questioning is the fact that just making a flat quarter was dependent on what they could do in the last few hours of the month and the silly press release put out to explain what didn't happen. Its more the helter-skelter look and feel of this that worries me than the veracity of the company. FWIW, I hope that the dream these folks have comes to fruition. Even though I've lightened up on the stock, I still own many, many thousands of shares. I still like the opportunity that's there. But, it requires more talk about orders and less about "ins", for any investor to have a reasonable belief in their future. When the kind of silliness recently engaged in comes about, it lessens their credibility as managers. It doesn't mean they're crooks or liars.

Nord, Do you or anyone on the thread have any 'guesses' as to EPS in '99 and '00 ? It seems to me that if they can do $50mil (US) and bring down 20% to net then we are looking at c. $1.00 per share on 10mi. o/s. "Ins/wins/picked up/ dropped off/ street following/ analysts reports" don't make no never mind unless it is brought down to the bottom line. IMHO, EPS is what is going to make the price rise as it will attract more buyers. Somehow someway, the investing public finds out about companies who "show them the money" ..... Ed...
