If you believe in yourself – invest in yourself. I think this is what a winning team looks like. This is how they conduct themselves. I have never seen a better shareholder relations program in a OTCBB company than this management team has put together.
You know when you’ve got the goods and your potential is serious. I think that’s exactly what Commerce Planet knows.
This is a turnaround story and it’s a good one. There is no question but that this company stumbled. There is also no question but that they took stock of their strengths and built on them with a great management team. Yesterday we saw CPNE take the classic move of bringing an Advisory Board on to support the management team.
Today I am impressed by their stock repurchase program which will extend to June 30, 2008, to repurchase an additional $2 million of common stock from in the open market or privately negotiated transactions. Take a look.
