RE: What next?

RE: What next?I wonder what fluff you are seeing here? I bought into the company because of the management team that heads up this company. The core group of people running this show have loads of experience and unless they all had disfunctional personalities there would be a load of good contacts to throw in there. Going back to basics I see there was and is no problem getting financial backing due to the amount they have refused because they just don`t need anymore. For a young company they are bringing some revenues and working on new contracts which by rights should not be mentioned until all the i`s are dotted etc. why put the horse before the cart. December holiday season is not a good time for news releases because of the large portion of the buying public and institutions alike on holidays. Wait until the new year where you get a bit more bang for the buck. and even then it may be better to wait a month or so afterwards after all the other companies who were doing the same get their news out of the way. I guess what I am saying is timing is everything and the sign of good management and a good invesor relations team is knowing when to make the news help the company. I am happy with the existing progress and will wait until february at least to make another opinion. Until then this company to me is doing just a fine job.
