<<legitimate financing >> 10MM preferred shares are authorized, but none issued yet. That would be better than a PP. BTW, Did anyone notice? We are up 14% today so far :-)

New to the thread. Lurked for months while soaking up information from REW, Marty, the DD site and - yes - even the sometimes slippery Swordsman. Several times, fought off the urge to say "thank you" because of SI sign up charge. (Okay, I'm cheap.) So why spring the bucks now? Three answers: 1. Regarding the idea of Marty on the board versus losing his valuable posts because of insider contamination, perhaps he could split the difference by being voted upon (perhaps at a meeting?) as the stockholders' official ombudsman to the board. This would recognize the current de facto situation, put Marty on the official distribution list for press releases, avoid insider info, and provide TSIG.com a single contact point prior to (and/or apart from) press releases for communicating in a timely manner information which is properly releasable. It would put quite a burden on Marty, but we could be analyzing PRs before anybody at Reuters or BusinessWire notices there's anything out. 2. Regarding Sword's earlier comment that RG appears to be overcompensated "...unless of course he knows about revenue developments that are in fact already happening," all I can say is that, through Marty, the company will be telling us as much as they possibly can about what's happening and what's coming down the pike. Try investing elsewhere with that kind of insight! 3. Then there's the fact that this is last week for lifetime signup with SI. Tell all your friends and neighbors. That $60 every 6 months looks more painful than a onetime bill. Doing a first post makes me feel like the unmentioned relative who lives in the attic but decides to come downstairs for the first time. For those still reading, "Hello, everybody!" A couple things by way of introduction.... Vegas sounds good, but I don't dance. Have lost 35 pounds but you'd still like me better fully dressed. Like the feathered one, I'm not big on penny stocks. Only two exceptions: TSIG and (last post I'll mention it in) XNET. I mention the other stock for two related reasons: 1. Despite XNET's recent history of a couple days of huge increases, my perception is that TSIG is just as likely to pay for my yacht someday. So, when slammers challenge the thread on numbers; i.e., "a couple dozen deluded fools," chalk up another believer as representative of the [dozens? hundreds?] who follow the thread but haven't signed up. 2. More importantly - and having seen a collapse in XNET prices this morning - when TSIG has doubled and redoubled, the second worst thing you can do is to put in a stop loss order whether to protect your profits or minimize any losses. All this does is tell them where you can be harvested. The one thing worse thing you could do - after your 30 or 40 or 50 cent stock has taken a couple legs up - is to see a 50% drop and say "me too" to those whose stops are being triggered. Pleased to be on board, G. Owen
