$250 share in 3 years. Gilder predicts GLBX 10 times growth during next 3 years. Keeping the PE multiple the same, and multiplying the growth by ten - equals $250 a share.

Good question, hard to answer. Two weeks ago as GBLX was hitting its recent lows (along with FRO) as they renegotiated the merger share exchange ratio and as the Street was trashing broadband stocks generally, the volumes in GBLX were enormous, shorts, puts and calls were probably bought to hedge or take positions and perhaps position institutions for the switch in index inclusion. I think a bigger long-term issue for GBLX technical factors is the enormous overhang of insider shares when these (after one deferral) become available for sale.

Regards. Steven

I've seen news articles claiming that inclusion into the SPX results in a 5% or so pop in the share price within the first couple of days as index fund managers blindly pile in. Witness the QCOM addition to SPX. Isn't it reasonable that index funds will also have to dump shares of GBLX if they're dropped from SPX and that GBLX would drop at least 5% and perhaps more if it panics shareholders beyond the index automatons.
