"Gil" from RB asked to have this posted on SI...Very interesting.. TAKING TSIG AS A WHOLE: I have been lurking on RB and SI boards for some time and decided to finaly break silence. I have been accumulating TSIG for over a year as a long term investment and continue to do so.while the bashers scare the faint- hearted into panic selling ,thereby providing bargain prices for the rest of those less easily emotionally stampeded. We should all know what ultimately happens as the float gradually diminishes;less stock is available for sale and then............... Thus far, I have well over 1 million shares and control/influence a like additional amount. My sincere thanks to the bashers(and by that I do not include those who sincerely question to refine their DD) and my sympathy to those well meaning, but less experienced, folks, mostly smaller stockholders,who have been so inappropriately manipulated into loss of hard earned savings. I have been blessed by successful investment in quite a few "start-up" situations over the last 35 years or so, They all lost quite a bit of money for the first few years,then turned a corner and did very, very well. This is typical for young companies, and there are very few exceptions. However, when you filter out the obvious "JUNK" information on the web, and confine to core DD, I have never seen any company with fundametals stronger than TSIG at such an early stage of development . It is quite common for founders and CEOs to take a lion's .share of the ownership and so I can't understand the negative rhetoric about Gordan. I'm glad as a stockhoder accumulating a large number of shares that the CEO feels the same way. After all, if he does whatever he can to increase the value of his own stock, he serves our needs as well. Give the man some room to do his thing; sit back and enjoy the ride . The talented folks at the front lines ( a number of whom came to TSIG with fabulous credentials and track records) are far better eqipped to chart the proper course for TSIG than armchair jockeys trying to second guess outside their areas of expertise. Sometimes those who know the least speak the most; it is usually negative, frequently insulting, and almost always counterproductive.Don't do this and don't listen to those who do. Instead, try to support the company and , hence, support your shares. STAND BACK AND TAKE AN UNBIASED, REALISTIC ASSESSMENT; if you think TSIG has no future, or that the players are dishonest in any way, then you owe it to yourself to move on as soon as you can Perhaps you may find more comfortable risk/reward opportunities elsewhwere. Where do I stand on TSIG today?Well, for starters, I would like to see MARTY on the board; and an additional, well known industry leader as well. I also see so many revenue generating situations already in place(with more obviously in the pipeline)that it seems inconceivable this company will not make money,and lots of it(quite unusual for an internet stock these days).It would not surprise me at all to see earnings of several dollars per share over the next few years, even if some of the current opportunities don't measure up to expectations. Multiply that by an appropriate P/E ratio and I need say no more. As for me, I think this is one of the all time great long term investments--------ALL IMHO,of course. We will see if patience really pays off!! I would appeciate it if someone would please post this message on the SI board. Thanks. GIL
