my point is, WEBM has a lead and if they innovate, they stand a good chance at winning this game. whether they win in the long run really doesn't matter to the stock price for the next 6 quarters. WEBM is executing well and has won thus far. My bet is that they leverage their current position into more and more. This management team gets it. |
