Re: recent dialog between the Capt'n and chklingon... This is some healthy dialog and I'm glad to see that there are no gaps in the posting numbers.

At 0258 in the wee hours of the morning of January 15 I suggested that "today could be the day things could get real ugly" or something to that effect. At 0725 on the same morning a Fly on the Wall let us know that CPST was having a 2 day Soiree Hosted by JMP Securities. From the opening the stock took a really ugly hit being down over 12% at one point. It wasn't until 1045 that things started to correct ending the day down ~5.4%

About 2 hours before the morning tea on the 16th JMP announces that the previous day's sell-off creates a "buying opportunity." Interesting that they had such clarity after the coffee in San Diego the day before, and they are still scheduled to "host" a meeting with CPST in San Francisco later in the day. By the end of the day JMP was so impressed with the hors d'oeuvres, dinner and cocktails they pronounced that they were convinced that the sell-off was unwarranted and gave CPST an "Outperform Ranking." Out performing who or what was not mentioned. (BTW-Thanks to gene_genome for the JMP Fly news)

Discounting that it has now been 87 days since a "material" announcement of sales, bad news about a watering hole in the IT department, a list of high level career openings being advertised, Notice of Delisting, major market sectors hitting highs not seen since '07, current Market Watch Analyst "http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/cpst/analystestimates"; Estimates--"Overweight and a dollar 88" (although I can find others with 87% StarMine Accuracy being extremely bearish.) I have seen the past Q/Q and Y/Y numbers reposted about as often at the standard disclaimer “past performance is not indicative of future performance” so those past numbers are more or less meaningless to me until we see the 3Q numbers in the next two weeks. We've heard it before but "this quarter's results are crucial."

It still boils down to "show me the money" as in "in the black." That being said the same analysts mentioned above are estimating -0.02 cents for Q3. Is the next quarter, next year story wearing a bit thin on investors? I think so and it certainly is to me. Other than that I have absolutely no clue as to what is going on with the company, pps, ratings, etc.

See you at the casino on Monday.
