Freeus,

Good stuff-- and, consistent with the book. I think next quarter's earnings growth will be a key determiner.

Agree???

TO be argumentative, what you are describing about GMST sounds more like the early adoption stage than the tornado. I don't see any evidence of a tornado from what you are saying. Stock price has nothing to do with gauging wind speed.

As I recall, you are in an affluent neighborhood where the early adapter consumers reside. Am I right?

freeus,
we are no where near tornado yet.
when in the tornado, it is hyper growth time.
this cannot happen until the product has a majority of market share. i think your area is the exception rather then the norm.
when you see more tvs with guide then without or you see the new set top boxes flying out the door then it will be tornado time. it will happen its just not there yet.

freeus,

About your thinking that Gemstar's tornado is upon us:

My thinking is that the manual is rather nebulous about how the tornado is defined. Nevertheless, which criteria in the manual indicate a tornado?
