twojugglers, many companies provide a lot of info in PR's at earnings and Q filings....explain the revs, earnings, and provide an estimate for the coming quarters based on order backlog, etc. One I read recently said they had large orders from one customer, but did not expect the same for the upcoming quarter. FASC pretty much leaves shareholders hanging, doesn't even put a dollar estimate in PR releases about new biz.....pretty much leaves the DD up to message board posters to figure out, which hasn't worked out too well, IMO.
Cash is King until further notice!!!
My comments on companies are usually my opinion of long term success (years). The PPS may go up or down greatly in the meantime depending on the number of greedy suckers with money.
