My own feeling is that there may have been a lot of shares in somewhat weak hands. Perhaps some of these shares that were bought when the stock ran up on the AMEX listing. I think the FCM chart looks great. I think any shares that were sold this week were sold prematurely. FCM has been on the InvestRight Index since before it achieved AMEX listing. Mark Garner has done a great job of keeping us informed on the InvestRight Club thread. If anyone else would like to join Mark over there, and help keep us all informed on FCM, I would greatly appreciate it: Subject 25983 Thanks, Jeff

Hi Pat, Do you subscribe to the theory that, where there is smoke, there is usually fire ? If so, some points that were made in your post seem to apply here, don't you think ? I wonder how much thought the Author of that Slamming post put into it, as some of the warnings listed are indeed important in any stock evaluation. Also, you mention that Valuespec is a paid shill, if I may ask, who do you suppose is paying him for his posts ? FCM's competition ? 22. When slamming, discourage people from taking the company's word - encourage them to seek outside proof. If the company's history is bad, point them there. 23. When slamming, refer to missed deadlines and weak financials. 24. When slamming, if the price rises, blame it on a temporary mass reaction to a press release rather than real interest in the stock. Point out low volume and emphasize the selling. Now for the opposite viewpoint check this; exchange2000.com Let's look at number 7 in depth; 7. Disbelief -- Damn evil Canadian MMs! Damn Bashers! You think you're shaking loose my shares of SCAM? No way! How familiar does # 7 sound ? Let's assume that everyone now knows of Raleigh's problems with the SEC, if not, here's the link. sec.gov Now take a good look at this post of his. exchange2000.com >>>>Sparrow has got be a Godsend to Frank and Franklin. She brings with her the experience and marketing ability that Franklin so sorely needed. An understanding of the communications industry that blends well with Franks vision. But most of all she brings a "real world" understanding of implementation and the know how to make it all happen. She's a fireball, and I don't think you can qualify in monetary terms what she is worth to Franklin and to Frank in being able to take on the load.<<<<<<< >>>>One last thought in closing. What better confidence builder then to hear an insider say that they are not concerned about the price. Sparrow basically bought the stock at $5, and she isn't concerned at all about the day to day prices. She is looking for multiples on her investment, and is working her butt off to make it happen.<<<<< Or let's look at this post of Raleigh's and don't forget to take notice of all the " BELLS AND WHISTLES THAT SHOULD BE GOING OFF IN YOUR HEAD" Get it, wink wink. exchange2000.com >>>>>>Hello! Hello! Bells and whistles should be going off in your head about now.<<<<<< >>>>>>Ding! Ding! Ding! (That should be another set of bells going off.)<<<<<<<< By the way, all should also know that the "Sparrow Marcioni" referenced above is no longer at Franklin. She was somehow unceremoniously detached from Franklin. How did that happen to someone, who in Raleigh's opinion was a "Godsend to Frank & Franklin" ? In closing Pat, I do not believe that Valuespec is in any way the cause of problems to the value Franklin's stock. No one here cares except him, to bring to light all the negatives that surround this company such as; Raleigh's continual hype and his recent SEC problems for his " PAID PROMOTION OF SHARES OF IMP", Intrine ( who what and where is Intrine.com ), Usa Talks ( Usat is still under SEC investigation & no longer even trades on OTC BB )AT&T's lawsuit ( What were the terms of that settlement ? ), where were the raw materials inventory at the beginning of this quarter ( $ 171,000 on Dec. 31, 1998 ) to justify the $ 4,000,000. sales just announced ? Finally, as in your note above, Have you checked the volume on Franklin's newest customer lately Vodavi ? quote.yahoo.com Regards, Tom
