Actually, that 4 would be 16 with a 4 for 1 split.

WHAT "I" KNOW VS WHAT "THEY" KNOW: the negative pundits on this board continue to reference the "past". in some cases, this would be a good arguement. in FCM's sake its NOT. here's why: TWO WORDS: PETER BUSWELL. when looking at a small company and its potential one must look at the MANAGEMENT. now, nothing against Frank...he was a key in developing a "gizmo". he knew he had a superior gizmo, but didnt realize it was not a PRODUCT. he always had the enthusiasm but not the PLAN to turn this gizmo into a saleable PRODUCT. ENTER PETER BUSWELL. Mr Buswell understood this and began implementing a PLAN to turn this into a saleable product. it began with concentrating on making the gizmo conform to current industry VOIP standards. then came developing a service and support network. then came a marketing strategy. when Buswell came on board he realized that Franklin did not have the marketing muscle to make this product a success. his priorities were to develop a network of value added resellers and to attempt to get some OEM agreements as well as develop some service agreements for continuing support of the product. THE GRADE FOR BUSWELL: A+++++++ he had done everything he has said and more. i realized that we had a TURN AROUND in this company under his leadership late last year and thus made my proclimation of the future success of this company and my subsequent BUY OPINION. Buswell even had the balls to predict this recent quarter would be the quarter in which the company would be profitable! BUSWELL CONTINUES TO MAKE STRIDES. fore those that dont believe this, take the time to do some investigation. ANY IDEAS AS TO WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH FNET UNDER BUSWELL'S LEADERSHIP? TALK ABOUT A KICKER! we have one with FNET. so, who are you going to listen to? a pundit whos only claim to fame was to call the effect of the convertible preferreds? a hate monger who believes that Franklin is a big scam and all of the shareholders are big pump and dump artists? or someone who has taken the time to understand the business plan that mgmt has set forth and correctly understood that plan 6 months ago???? BETTER YET, dont listen to ANYONE here! TAKE THE TIME TO INVESTIGATE THIS COMPANY YOURSELF. YOU WILL be plesantly SURPRISED. these negative posters are nothing more than armchair quarterbacks that dont know JACK about this company in its CURRENT state. this post is not directed to anyone in particular, other than some lurker/newbies who may happen to be reading.
