Valery, makes sense ... news a few weeks ago that SFA had not received an expected contract from someone ... ??, they went with GIC ... However, that being said, there will be enuf room for SFA in the market going forward. The money right now, is on GIC ... but some purport that SFA has a better product. I'm not privy to know what is the best, but I haven't counted the future out for SFA ... we're looking at a huge market here in the next 5 years..... SFA has traded sideways for about a month ... and someone is buying now, prior to year end. That's a good sign to me. -metman

Valery.. < GIC was up because they are adding it to S&P 500 and rumors were spread that SFA lost business .> GIC also being absorbed by Motorola at .575 Mot share per GIC share. So, as MOT goes so goes GIC. K

I thought GIC was getting pulled OUT of the S&P 500 because they are being bought by MOT... DWB Q10K/Y2K+5

No, I am afraid we have this backwards. GIC is being removed from the S&P500 because of the MOT acquisition. I just got in on SFA on this recent drop. I have gone back over this thread and read for the last two hours and researched SFA for the past week. Within technical speak - this thread seems a little shy. Can anyone tell me why a new investor would buy SFA versus TERN, CMTO or GIC? Stronger product, better customer service, alliances with TWX...what? Thanks & Good luck, Eric
