So logical to say profit needed for PPS.

However, yesterday I had a list of 40 recommended stocks I had put together from (Roll), 1stdaytrader, Ameritrade from their real-time screener(up 10% for day), and BigCharts markets (largest % price gain). When I did some dd, not one, not a single one, of them had net earnings last year. If I would hold out and buy only stock where there was a positive EPS I would be severely limited. I know it makes sense to say the company has to be profitable, but I can give you several examples of good companies, good EPS, good PR, that have tanked or been straight line for months. So, for long term I would say yes, you need a record of good earnings and a good P/E, or a start up with perceived exceptional growth potential.

I would think if the later were true in GZ's case, then our volume should be much higher with even institutional investors grabbing a piece. It's not happening. So, to stimulate growth we need eye catching news, a financing package to show we are viable as an ongoing corp. and somehow convince people we do have exceptional growth potential.

IMHO, the bottom line is. I think good PR with increased subs. is more important at this juncture than EPS.

Regarding the sub numbers. I think JF could post sub numbers without getting in trouble if he used a date in the PR. Example....The sub numbers of GZFX as of October 1st 2004 were 21,341. How could this result in any misconceptions of the numbers if the date is stated in the PR?

Just a thought.
