Jeff: this stock, long before i recommended it for the InvestRight index, has a storied past. unfornately, that past has more to do with individual agendas (bashing) than it has to do with analyzing the company's progress objectively. because if there was objective analysis being done, nobody could argue the FANTASTIC progress this company has made over the past year. simply unbelievable. another thing that is simply unbelievable is the mentality of the negative posters here. i can handle some true sincere questions about the company. but that does not happen here. believe it or not, we have had one individual who has bashed this company for 3 years or better under different aliases here as well as on raging bull. this person truly hates this company, believes it is some sort of scam and believes that all longs are paid hypesters for the company. a real sick, filthy individual who tries to come across on the boards as a sincere investor questioning the direction of the company, but in private will say the sickest things you have ever heard. on the other hand, we have another individual who likes to think he is some sort of expert stock analyst who will consistently repeat the past failures OVER AND OVER again to try to tweek the longs here. the reason i mention it is because IF you read this board, you need to know the history to put the posts of these two individuals into the proper perspective. in the meantime, i will continue to focus on the PRESENT and FUTURE of this company. things have never looked brighter and the longs will eventually be rewarded when the stock price catches up with the progress of the company. this will happen SOONER rather than later. take care.

jeff: if you read some of the recent posts on this board you will see the psychosis and hate of some of the individuals on this thread. fortunately, one of the posters isnt the smartest individual i have ever corresponded with. many of them continue to dig a deeper hole for themselves. which is fine, because its just more evidence when the time comes to pay the piper.

jeff: in case you have started reading this board, you may have seen people throwing around the names of two companies: Intrine and USAT. i'll give you a little background about these two companies so you have a better idea of what is being referred to. Intrine was one of FCM first BIG announced contracts for the Tempest DVG. Intrine's plan was to build a network of DVGs for voice traffic. it was a 2 million dollar contract that was announced by FCM. unfortunately, FCM announced the contract before payment was received. the whole deal was contigent on Intrine getting financing, which fell through. it might be considered an error in judgement by FCM's mgmt to release the news before payment was received but i am sure they had no reason to believe a customer would not be able to fulfill the terms of a contract. secondly, regarding USAT, there was some questions as to the validity of some publicly disemminated information by USAT. a group of powerful short sellers who may have connections within the SEC triggered an investigation of USAT after a huge runup in USAT's stock. apparently there were some questions about USAT mgmt's past history. in the end, USAT was cleared to trade again and basically got a slap on the wrist from the SEC. USAT now trades on the pinksheets. this really has had NO BEARING on USAT's business, because USAT continues to build a NATIONAL network using FCM's equipment. USAT has PAID FOR all of their equipment order and FCM has the cash in the bank. this is fact. USAT continues to build their national network. this is fact. USAT's network is coming online soon. this is fact. USAT has recently recieved a letter of intent for addtional financing. this is fact. USAT is LIKELY to continue ordering FCM equipment to expand their network. this is opinion. so, the bottom line is that the bashers on this thread throw the names of these two companies around to cause doubt. i anticipate this will be my last post on this thread for awhile because it becomes tiresome battling individuals who has a big agenda and lots of free time. i will continue on the investright index as i have previously in an attempt to keep you up to date.
