I can accept that. So tell me then, why were we off 14%? Is everyone on Wall Street just not as intellectual or savvy as you and stitch? It would seem to me that news of this magnitude to send all Money Managers running to their cash reserves to buy IDTC.

< Millions of Hispanic households have no internet access because they do not have credit cards, but they have computers at home. this prepaid internet card marketing is another brilliant execution by IDT, IMO.> No credit card? How did they buy their computers? Don't know too many people paying 1k or more in cash for their computers. But I do think this is a good strategy by IDTC.

You couldn't be more right about this. IDT is about to quadruple the value of the ISP at a bare minimum. I mean, all they would have to do to do that is sell 2 cards per month in each of their 100,000 locations. Indeed these numbers could be very conservative. We may find that IDT's ISP increases to a million users. DO NOT undeestimate the market we are going into. We already sell them 200M per year in pre paid calling cards. They trust IDT and the price is RIGHT. Also, to have the nuestravoz.com spanish language portal is very clever indeed. It has chat, spanish yahoo, spanish radi station and was designed using ethnic colors etc. This is going to be an INSTANT winner and money maker. Plus, we have spanish speaking representatives already in customer service that have been cross trained so we save $. IDT has hired a slew of additional folks also and is running full page ads in spanish language newspapers.
