>> Potential Gorilla Alert - Trafficmaster Plc. ( U..K.)

I'll look forward to your report, John. As an oldtimer Q investor, I have to credit you with a good sense of smell for the beasties. In general, I don't like to invest in foreign based companies due to differences in regulations and reporting, but you can't always find Gorillas in your own back yard.

The Internutz look pretty strong today, and Mr. Softee, Cisco, and Q are doing a good job of fighting through their resistance levels. One more excellent earnings report, like Yahoo's, could blow the cork out of the bottle.

Jmho,
Frank

Core Patent on collecting traffic flow.

That's gotta be one of the most fascinating proprietary technologies I've ever heard of. Probably a great niche market because it might be small enough that no one wants to try competing. (Just a guess, since I don't know anything about it.)

I don't suppose they could use the technology to determine how many people show up at rallies, demonstrations, outdoor rock concerts, fireworks, etc. Not that it necessarily matters, but the estimates of those crowds tends to vary by about 200%.
