Hi Larry: It's not likely we will ever see AOL form the same angle <G> If you have time go look at this little co GLRS, now I don't see this as a fast play..the stock don't trade much..and they keep a big spread on it, bid 1-7/8 ask 2-7/8 : a point spread on a 2 dollar stock ! But I'v been biding on it off and on for a month, at 1-7/8 and 2 hoping to pick some up at 2, but have not got any yet..I do day bids only, hoping if they see it not on the computer the next morning they will get humble enough to let me in at 2, no luck yet. Just the day I didn't bid they sold some for 1-7/8 and I missed it !!! any way I like her balance sheet..think she is still undiscovered by the market, and may stay that way for some time.. , I do think in 98 she will move up..and be one of those little cos that make it, she has a niche I like in the out door thing, owns a lot of camps were you can go and pan for gold..not a get rich thing..but more like for recreation..and her tv channel will broaden in 98..if the funds take to her she will fly, but it could be a while,go look for yourself, her home page url is at the bottom of this, and I'm not trying to promote her..heck I want in at 2, and haven't got it yet, but keep trying. If i get her it will be one I'll put in the safe deposit box and wont even look at for several years. BY the way she shows a profit ! has a nice EP and her book value with the realestate, gives me the idea shes solid enough to get by some tough times if need be. --------------------- Here' the latest: TEMECULA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 12, 1996--Management of Global Resources Inc Thursday announced it acquired satellite capacity from Hughes Communications Inc.
