Good points. I'm making the decision to buy in today because: 1) I think the window will close quickly before the stock reverses course and regains positive momentum. Even if it doesn't, I don't want to risk missing out on the bargain prices. 2) The concerns about the debt, the switch to EBITDA vs EPS, litigation, etc are all NOISE in my opinion to drive trading. Churning holdings in this stock is the quick hit profit opportunity for most of the institutional houses right now, especially with the FED going on national TV in one hour. Henry is always conservative with his outlooks for GMST's future. I think the true value of this merger will start to be realized in a very short period of time, and I don't want to miss out on buying GMST at $68 when this stock is headed to $100 in the near term. Risk/reward scenario at this point, but one I have no problem playing at this time. Teflon

MKC, we KNOW that gmst isn't going to make any new highs for some time If there is one lesson I learned from watching AOL, it is that a major announcement of an advertising commitment or e-commerce partnership can by itself propel the stock to new highs. As often as I felt that unjustifiably happened with AOL, I'm thinking that Gemstar is where AOL was at three years ago when it comes to advertising revenue and e-commerce deals. Perhaps I'm becoming a better visionary than I give myself credit for. :) --Mike Buckley
