Thanks for the Good Luck wishes! Stay aboard and throw a little cold water on this old dog every once in a while, or just 'lurk' a little, most everyone here welcomes honest debate. You'll enjoy SI, even if it's not this thread that's your favorite. Check out one called "Canadian Hot Stocks" for some real excitement. I haven't posted there, but it's fun to watch. . . and informative too, in most cases, although the hype is pretty obvious sometimes. I watched the KRY forum over on Stockhouse with amazement for months, but I still learned more lurking around there for a few months than I did in years of reading traditional magazines and texts. Quite right though, you sure have to have your b.s. meter activated all of the time.
For GPW though, I've done more homework than I ever have for any other investment in my life. My decision and commitment to GPW is based on a lot of DD, and I feel that the growth from $8 to $12 is a very conservative expectation. I've been studying the Y2K problem in every way that I can, and I'm convinced there's not likely to be any 'silver bullet' and hard working companies like GPW will make money and increase p/e. Speculation on further doubles sounds a little optimistic, and that's why I've been asking if someone can confirm, post or comment on the TK recommendation. I'm not TK's client, and I'm way out West, so it's hard for me to see it.
Good luck with your own investments, and take a second look at GPW, you may decide to make it one of them.
