This is the kind of performance that drives folks away. Promises of positive earnings and end up whispering a loss, not very good for investor relations. Not to say it was your fault Marcus, for you are just the messenger, but I seriously don't believe you should say things like I will let all know when I load up You said that before and albeit you do not control the bottom line, the fact that you told the thread that you ARE their messenger and now we find out there has been a loss, even the credibility of the messenger is to be questioned. Let's keep things to facts, not hopeful thoughts. I still find it difficult to swallow that etpi would rather have an investor be the messenger, rather than doing it professionally through a pr firm or directly from themselves. I do appreciate what you are trying to do, as a source of info. But statements such as the above should not, imo, be part of your posts. Paul

We have been told next quarter they will be profitable for over a year now. A loss is still a loss. But dont worry all next quarter will be profitable. I should save this and replay it every quarter. LOL. By the way marcus, a little something you wrote back on 4/29/99. Guess you were a little off on your numbers.

He said that all 4 division are profitable, but not exactly dialed in to exact numbers yet. Expect a break even to a little bit into the black.

OK, so I was off a penny a share. The busy months are now upon us. I don't see any reason why ETPI won't be profitable, God willing. I'm getting weary as well. My guess is a market maker push under 20 soon, followed by a burst upward. Within the next couple of months hopefully. I will let all know when I load up. Remember, this stock still trades under book value. But then again so does PAX communication. A $2 billion company with a market cap of $500 million. Gues it doesn't always mean much. FOCUS ON EARNINGS ETPI. ------------------------- Dang! Symmetry gets me again. Here I was looking for the unload part. Did someone change the I in ETPI to mean INCOMPETENCE when I wasn't looking?
