Fred, As always, NRI remains a "tomorrow" company. The deals, the sales, the return on freekin' investment will all happen tomorrow. Sometimes tomorrow never comes, though. I don't get it, they have to be doing something all day...I just have no idea what. Of course, I thought that way the last couple of years I owned NRI, hindsight being 20/20, and that theory did not hold up. No results, you see. I mean with sales, they have a bunch of software (albiet with no algorithm of their own), and alliances out the wazoo. But that doesn't necessarily translate into profits or revenue. Whatever. After years of sales that rival the revenue generated by my neighbor's son's lawnmowing business, it would be nice to see a rather large deal with some heavyweights. Not only would the profit help, but the name association would help take this company out of the "freekin' who?" category and into the "they must know something for the big boys to be playing with them" category. And if Wall Street is fooled into thinking the latter category is true long enough, we can all sell out as happy investors. The thing that bothers me about this deal (GTW,NRI, etc...) is that the guy on Yahoo (Realestatelion?) keeps screaming that it would happen. If this guy's source was accurate, would he not tell this guy to be quiet? Wouldn't this prompt an investigation into the company; there has got to be some insider trading laws violated there???! It just seems like a bad idea to scream about future events that we are not supposed to know about (no public disclosure about talks by company). I could be wrong. But, if it avoids another blood-letting Reg S sale, I am all for it. Regards, Bob
