analyst coverage would be nice of course, but somehow I doubt it. On the other side, I was really astonished to read in the zdnet article about this analyst commenting on GMGCïs business... if the street would still absolutely discount every move of GMGC, like it seemed the last year(s), why would there be an analyst speaking out cautiously but not to bad about gmgc? I can only remember some analysts quote after the exite deal, who openly warned about this investment. (btw wished I had followed his advise those days...LOL) But, with the analyst commenting on gmgc in this article, this may either hint at future analyst coverage starting, lets say with "neutral". Or, his firm did their analysis, and decided to stay outside, and wait what GMGC will pull out of the hat: just some rotten rabbit bones, like it appeared the last months, or a little but cute rabbit. If you ask me, I expect nothing but hope for a Rabbits Revenge! regards. Juan
