hopeful, so a $2 mill revenue anouncement for a company that has NEVER achieved an annual revenue of $1 mill wouldn't be at least an 8 +/- ???? i'd have to respectfully disagree there. now try and mix in who the anouncement could be from and that might also impact the response by the market as well as our individual appraisal.
and personally, i think the front page of the USA Today as the "Feature Story" was HUGE news for us....let's not take our eye off the ball gang. i'm sure this exposure will certainly further our cause in many areas; more people should be finding us as a result instead of us having to contact each and every one of them!
if jever had told us that type of news was coming before the rest of the world had known....we would've been high fiv'in each other till the sun came up, all anxious as hell to see how the rest of the world would view it. at least i would have admitted that i thought it to be significant news. just imo of course.
i for one would've probably been both right and wrong in trying to predict how the investment crowd would react to such news. i would have correctly guessed that we'd see a pps rise of significance (we saw + ~30% out of the gates) and i would've also guessed that it would return back down if something didn't follow that up....now, i would've been wrong as to the timing of the return down in pps. i NEVER would have guessed that we'd finish day one up a measley ~7-8% or so....i would've given us 3 days, maybe 4 to withdraw from the run up.
such is life, we can't control how the world or investment community reacts. but to me, it was significant news...maybe not a $2 mill contract, but certainly free PR distributed via a very high profile, respected venue to millions of readers......surely a few of them had their interest picqued, or so i'd guess imo.
So are we left to judge the impact (1 thru 10) solely by the reaction of the financial markets via the pps OR should we evaluate the substance of the issue at hand as if it related to our very own business and the value it represents to our overall business plan????
i would think that Doc T., Gabriel and gang are quite satisfied with last weeks USA Today Feature Article....and the piece of the puzzle it fills in their overall business plan. imo. i'm sure it also re-energized them to some extent as well, as it's always refreshing to be publically recognized for your efforts and products.
personally, i'll continue to weigh the value myself of each and every turn the company makes. and they've made quite a few turns this year alone and seem to have picked up speed....
