I have been following Netcall for some time now, having invested at 9p and 10p. I have seen the product queue buster in action, and I have also talked to people who use it. It is a major winner. The hit rate once a demo is set up is 100%. They will announce more big wins in the not to distant future, I think this is a big medium term winner. The company will move into profit this year, I think that there is a reasonable liklehood that one of the major players will buy them out to enable them to use this technology to leverage further telco/call centre related sales. It wouyld appear that others believe the upside with the steady progress of the shareprice in recent history, up to 13.75p today.dyor, imho etc
