Konehead, How much more responsive can you want a stock (sebl) to be. It was at 41 on 1/1/98 and is now at 55. If my calculator is working that's a 34% increase in less than two months. How much higher do you want it to go anyway? I vote for 100 which may not be off base though there would be a split long before that, I think.

With respect to some of the comments that imply the msft deal wasn't worth getting, I would just like to say that if vntv had gotten this deal everyone on this thread would have been jumping up and down for joy and saying things like, "Hold on for the ride" even if vntv had given the software away. There are just some times where it's worth doing whatever it takes to get a company like MSFT added to your customer list. And I don't believe that vntv or anyone else would not have done what it took. So, if they got it, who cares! The point is that it was sebl. It's that old expression penny wise and pound foolish. There is a great deal of mileage to be gotten if, in fact, that deal is done. Next thing we'll be seeing are sebl commercials featuring MSFT. And no mention will be made of what they paid. That's got to be worth some higher margin business to make up for all the" lost margin" in this deal. I can only say I am glad I bought the sebl stock last week as you probably are too.
