This a big day for me and family, Donnie. I am up over 29k on this little pig known as Geacf or as Gac.to.
Earnings report yesterday just as tense as ever was Dell. My ulcer may be back, bring me more pills,cigs, and coffee..
My son and wife have worked for them 17 years in Houston, so they own options. .
With earnings looking close to $1 sh/yr, the P/E is 7.0
If it goes to the same P/E of Dell or Msft the shares would be at $63 Canadian instead of at present $7
I dont know the effect of last nights earnings, yet but will hold anyway as this stock is going up sometime.

These newer people are determined to grow the company and have the experience to do that, planing to make acquisitions.
