Does anyone have useful information on SPLN's planned coverage of the olympics next year? This event could become rather important, offering substantial upside if done properly. The current time is a difficult one for shareholders, requiring great patience through a period of major volatility. It becomes critical to continue to focus on the favorable long-term prospects, recognizing the many market-wide fears and concerns which will always play a role in short-term fluctuations.

A continuous stream of good news keeps flowing. Strong moves to capture the huge European soccer market, which has enormous revenue potential. Great news concerning main equity holder and media supporter CBS. The company maintains an incredibly robust financial position and will continue to guide SPLN to world-wide success, based on its own interests. The already long list of web linkages (AOL, Excite, etc.) is set to expand further in the next 12M. The previous post mentioning the analysts' lack of understanding about the robust level of expenditures seems right on target. SPLN is relentlessly pursuing its goal of capturing the top spot in the global sports media market, a substantial opportunity that will nonetheless require a corresponding degree of effort. As exemplified repeatedly on this thread, the irregular nature of the issue's daily fluctuations make it a distinct challenge to have patience. Probably the best advice would be to simply let go of the timing on this one, and let the impending up-trend blossom to new heights as the company's tale of global success unfolds. Three year target - $200/share. Of course, in the short-term uncertainty remains present on a market-wide basis. J.M.
