Have a clue. It is just that the market currently doesn't. We are suffering from an identity crisis, but that should change soon due to other possible analyst coverage. Given that we are far away the leader in this burgeoning field other coverage is highly likely. GG

John,,,right now you could say they're in merger talks and the stock would still act dead....we'll all look back and remember these dogdays.

John, I would assume the product from NETP is not a typical shrink-wrapped or off-the-shelf type of software. There would be consultants involving in installation, customization, performance tuning, and training. Am I right? Since you're the biggest cheerleader on SI to push this stock, mind if we ask you how a typical 81% gross margin business process being achieved. Are companies paying mostly to the consulting fee? If its product rely heavily on consultant, I think NETP should have no problem to find consultants because all the Artificial Intelligence specialists are still locked in schools for the past 10 years and want to get out.
