RE:RE:RE:RE:What being in Ottawa - benefits TEI - directly & indirectlyNot hard work. Just a comment on someone laughing because someone else suggested that TEI could move to a metropolitan area that may have many more potential clients in its vicinity. With that laugh, I just questioned what is the benefit of Ottawa, where most government resides. Since they don't bid for federal jobs, you support my line of thought.
I was not thinking whether they did not bid on federal projects. But to your point as to why, I think some of the stuff is easily avoided. Submit a bid with the margin that you want. They can't lock you into a lower margin than you submitted. Maybe they don't do that because their experience tells them there is no point because they won't win. And that reminded me that they don't enter these kind of competitions but pretty well get in there sole source.
Now it makes you wonder when you hear how they think they can approach new business. Don't compete, focus mostly on existing clients....there is a much, much, much bigger world out there beyond these parameters. If you are tearing it up in terms of sales growth, great, keep at it, no point of changing up a very successful formula. But we are not so what is the deal? Not interested in working harder? Surely can't be happy with this share price because if any bigger shareholder wanted out, that would sink it a nickel and by the time you recover that nickel, those buying that firesale are selling for a profit.
Should be doing better by the way they speak. Why aren't they? Let's turn these questions into a more positive performance as opposed to seeing them as being negative. Happy with what you see, you have a better chance of seeing the same. 21 cents. I am not. We should have been at 21 cents years ago and grown exponentially from there by now.
