Hi Brian - <<If I could make a reasonable (unreasonable) EPS, I'd be working for a brokarage company.>> "How convenient" - as the Church Lady on Saturday Night Live would say. :~):~) Regards, Phil

EDIT: I see, now that I have read the rest of the posts, that you have been replied to at length! Well, since I already wrote it, here is one more. Feel free to join us and contribute to the thread. I welcome your participation after you learn more about the company. -Dave ---------------------------------------------------- <<<If I could make a reasonable (unreasonable) EPS, I'd be working for a brokerage company.>>> [spelling error corrected] Brian, Yes, making a reasonable EPS calculation is VERY difficult on a stock like this. I agree. How about making an unreasonable EPS calculation instead? I think the point of the exercise is to see if you actually know something about the stock. Everyone suspects that you have little clue as to the expected profit margins, revenue streams, and company structure. And, if you don't have much knowledge of the company, then how can you make this statement: "Wouldn't that mean that TSIG would have to trade above $ 5.00? If it's true that there are only 37 million shares out, I wouldn't want to see a reverse split (consolidation) to get to that price." What do you know about the company (other than the stock price) that would lead you to believe that a reverse split is the only way to get the stock price up? That is what we want to know. (FYI, there are 37 million shares in the float, and 57 millions shares outstanding.) Next, you stated "The problem, as I see it is, that they don't have any proprietary hardware or software. In other words, there is nothing to stop someone else from setting up the same kind of service." Whoa!!! Are you saying that the only type of company that can sustain a stock price is one that has proprietary hardware or software?!?!?! Have you ever heard of CONSULTING FIRMS???? Try again. (FYI, we have as much proprietary hardware and software as Amazon and Ebay. Any other concerns?) Let's continue: "So the only way to grow the company is superior marketing and superior service." Actually, TSIG is based on their unique marketing structure. Do you know how it works? Please explain if you do, or we will be happy to explain it to you. We have no problem with helping newcomers to the thread -- in fact, we welcome it. Last point: "Stocks are like chips in a poker game--when your right you take profits, when your wrong you cut your losses." I disagree. Cards games in general (although not poker - if you are good at it) are based on chance. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. With the stock market, good research, a sound and disciplined investment strategy, and hard work will bring rewards. If you have not found this to be true, then I suggest you stop investing until you learn more about the market. Tell Peter Lynch or Warren Buffet that the stock market is like a poker game where you cash out as soon as you are ahead. That isn't where the big money comes from. Sorry if this post sounds harsh. It really isn't meant to be. You can understand how frustrating it is when people who know nothing about the stock tell us "how it is gonna be," if you know what I mean. Learn more about the company so you can have an informed opinion next time. I hope you do stay with us and contribute to the thread. I look forward to it. -Dave
