LOOK AT THIS. We are shareholders in MSHE and thought you, as an Intel follower, might be interested in this stock as well... Let me know what you think (and if you want me to take you off our list of those who might want to know more about INTEL-MSHE's relationship, let me know).
Thanks for taking a look - Walter Anderson
THE INTEL - MSHE CONNECTION: FOLLOW THE LEADER?
At the end of 1996, Intel had $8.2 billion in cash. Part of this cash is being used to expand Intel's portfolio of investments in private and public companies. According to Barbara Lopez, Intel spokeswomen, "We look for small companies that have interesting technologies. We try to help them grow because we think they have a technology that is going to be good for the industry in the future."
Intel announced one of its newest investments in MSH Entertainment last November, purchasing a warrant to buy up to 1 million shares in this young bulletin board company (symbol: MSHE). At the same time, Intel and MSHE agreed to cooperate in the development of MSHE's new production management software system, "Jethro", a work flow manager for advanced animation rendering projects utilizing Intel Pentium Pro based systems using the Windows* NT operating system.
Paul Otellini, executive vice president of Intel, said at the time, "We are pleased to be working with MSHE to help bring our architecture into this growing segment of computing."
Intel has led the way to MSHE - should we follow? Here's some background on this San Francisco based baby behomoth.
Growing through acquisition and expansion -- from TV and film production (infomercials, closed circuit corporate productions, ads, etc.), to distribution, to project development and related merchandising, to its newest division, MSH Music and its own record label -- MSHE is a software development company with broad diversification in the entertainment industry. It has a management and creative team of award winners, and is led by Bob Maerz, attorney and former broker.
MSHE has about 2.2 million shares trading, and trades about 25,000 shares a day. It closed at 1 7/32nds yesterday (2/13/97) after trading 35,000 shares. It has recently filed its SEC S1 to become a reporting company. You can learn more details about its current projects and personnel at its web site - mshe.com.
Says MSHE's creative director, Christopher Haigh, "The PC is the cockroach of the computing world. When all the other big computers are gone, its going to rule the earth." MSHE is one "cockroach" that Intel is betting on, and we think you may want to as well. |
