Softbank to formally purchase gomez.com (Gomez advisors)?

Gomez is the leading independent rating agency for online financial services. In their latest survey, the Softbank empire nearly makes a clean sweep of the categories.

1. Mortgage E-Loan Score: 7.94
1. Insurance Insweb (review) Score: 6.44
1. Brokers E*Trade Score: 7.74

Only the bank ratings keep Softbank from dominating the online financial world, as rated by Gomez. I know very little about Mortgage (most 24-year olds don't worry about that kind of stuff). As for Insweb, I wonder if people find it much better than Quotesmith, Quicken InsureMarket, etc? As for e-brokers, I question the reliability of this score. Lots of anecdotal evidence suggests that E*Trade doesn't deserve to sit atop of the ebroker rankings every quarter.

Etc.
Re: Trans cosmos (TSE 9715). Well, I like it better than all the fans pulling for Jafco as "the next Softbank". Nevertheless, I don't think the quality of their portfolio rivals Softbank. Also, look at the historical stock chart, and you'll see that 9715 is up %-wise approximately as much as 9984. Not as undiscovered as that Japanese equities analyst (in the internetnews.com article) may lead you to believe. Still, I think it's sitting on Y 6B in latent gains. Does anyone know how this compares (marketcap/latent gains) to 9984?
