Jane,
Seems that this company continues to show that they are truly a growth company, accelerating their earnings, increasing their market share, increasing their markets, etc.
Couple of questions, this private offering, with their current asset to current liability ratio so good, why not generate cash from within, why do a secondary, and why the 500,000 sold by insiders on this deal? I could speculate that they have a target for acquisition, or they have a new product to roll out, and need cash to assist in rolling out the new product, but thought I'd ask your opinion.
No one can dispute their growth, but it has been my experience that it usually takes time for the market to accept a secondary offering unless the money is immediately utilized.
Kevin
P.S. It's a lot more fun discussing the business at hand, instead of defending your dignity, isn't it, it's been a tough couple of weeks. |

I have tried to post on this site for 3 days, and it would not take.
So I am trying again. SORC is in Wall Street Journal today in Investment Dartboard:Pros handily beat darts. I don't know how to access Dow Jones News or Wall Street Journal, but it is a good article. Company is shooting the lights out fundamentally, and the recent secondary offering brought in many new heavy players, who see this as long term major idea. Not a small growth stock anymore, about to join the major leagues.
My price target is at least a double from here in 12 months, and maybe higher as earnings are going to explode, and new ventures are going to take them to a new level. |

Skip,
Did you see the volume today? Remember when they were in the 20k range? I wasn't so sure that they were doing a good thing when they made the secondary, but it seems to give the stock more liquidity. They seem to have their act together.
