Any STXS activity in pre-market this morning?
Someone estimated on this board that COPI's income was approximately .005 per call - which translates to $30,000,000 for 6 billion calls.
And guess what, with the telemarketing business doing even better after do not call legislation, that number's not going to go down!
Feb 05, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Given that telemarketing is the lifeblood of
any number of industries--real estate, insurance, travel & leisure, banking, to
name a few --Do-Not-Call (DNC) list compliance is a crucial aspect of conducting
business in America. In 2006, consumers in the U.S. purchased $900 billion worth
of goods and services through telemarketers. This number was actually up 50%
from $600 billion in telemarketing sales the year before federal legislation was
passed in 2002, suggesting that, if anything, regulatory compliance has a
resoundingly positive impact on telemarketing sales.
Based in Glen Cove, New York, Compliance Systems Corporation (OTCBB: COPI,
http://www.callcompliance.com) is a developer of technology-based compliance
solutions for the teleservices industry. The company's primary patented product,
TeleBlock(R) Do-Not-Call Blocking System, automatically screens and blocks
outbound calls against federal, state, and in-house DNC lists.
"Telemarketers can't just 'phone it in' when it comes to state and federal
Do-Not-Call list compliance," says Dean Garfinkel, Chairman and CEO of
Compliance Systems Corporation. "Inadvertently placing calls to numbers on these
lists can result in fines of $11,000 per call, millions in legal fees, tarnished
brands, and even revoked licenses for businesses."
If a company employee--an executive in a branch office, a freelancer working
from home, or a salesperson in the field--tries calling an individual on one of
these lists, the number will be screened against the TeleBlock database and the
call will be blocked. TeleBlock users also have the ability to call consumers
who may be on the DNC list but have given permission to be contacted based on
established business relationships.
Utilizing both Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology and traditional
phone service, TeleBlock is the only fail-safe solution that ensures 100% state
and federal DNC list compliance. It requires no office installation, additional
equipment, or set-up fees. TeleBlock is available from a variety of well-known
telecom companies, including Paetec Communications, Qwest, and Verizon Business.
To date, the company has processed over six billion calls, a number equal to the
entire global population!
Compliance Systems also offers the Regulatory Guide, an up-to-date, online
subscription service that provides a compilation of state and federal
telemarketing laws. The only such directory of its kind, the Regulatory Guide is
co-branded with the American Teleservices Association (ATA) and American Resort
and Development Association (ARDA). For more information, log onto:

Great PR - Just like 5* says - it seems like the beginning of the blitz. First they PR the 8k making the end of Cornell official, then this very well written summary of the business, and next they can go straight to business relationships and REVS

Great to know -- thanks!
and the other thing about tides - very reliable - unlike wind or solar..
Nice...
You know, I've always wondered why we can't harness the tides for power - Tidal creeks on the coast run at 3-4 knots and change direction 4 times a day - you think wind is powerful?? - moving water is REALLY POWERFUL!!
Channel the water - underwater turbine - seems doable.
Let's start a pink sheet company and say we can do it!!
Came so close to killing STXS - Looks like it might make it...
STXS needs to hold here - support on the 5, 15, and 60 chart is being tested........
Somebody re-light the engines.
Exactly the kind of official filing that many BIG FISH would have been waiting for before jumping in.
This is HUGE!!
Morning all...
Changed my alias from LongOnSilver - why?
I'm not long on anything anymore! (except COPI, maybe)
Trade 'em, don't marry 'em.
TA RULES!!
I have been turned to the DARK SIDE!!
I will destroy the markets with my new powers!
RUN MARKET RUN!!
Probably my all time favorite!
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again… who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Hope that helps,
NY buyers want this stock - they have been shaking the tree hard several times a day in order to incite fear selling and hit stop losses.
The more shares that can be scooped up by longs on those dips the better. Eventually, when they realize that they can't accumulate many more shares at the current level, they'll run the stock hard and then pull it back to try and create flippers and sellers.
BUY THE DIPS!!
