Bluejay... I don't know... If what Rivkin says is true here: StockHouse: "And the company meets all the board's requirements?" Mark Rivkin: "We do." It could be any day now... The F-40 is a quick way in for a TSE stock from what I understand. Salomon Smith Barney is suppose to be one of the sponsors... I'm assuming they will have an analyst following the stock and issuing a buy recommendation... else, what's the point for them to sponsor CRY if Salomon does not see it as a great buy... Conference call on Monday! Ask the question.

NASDAQ: I think we should prepare for the application and stock symbol activation any day now. Why the conference call just tomorrow... not friday or today? Maybe it will be out before??? :-) Let's see!

I can't listen to the CC tomorrow. I'll have to catch the re-play. I hope they expand on the idea of spinning off the E-commerce product into a separate company. The investment community today views CRY as an E-gaming company only and ascribes no value to the E-commerce product. In fact, I believe the E-commerce business results in a negative stock value because the large R & D costs are being expensed and the perception is that the gaming company is less successful than it actually is. After a spin off, the gaming side would have higher profits and would thus be valued proportionately higher. The E-commerce side, while having no revenue, would be free of the gaming stigma and legal worries and could potentially attract a high stock value as a pure internet play given the track record of CRY for producing cutting edge software. If Mark was not just talking through his hat, this play could get very exciting. Dave
