COVERAGE... has been discussed many times before(by hommie and myself) has been and will continue to be this companies missing component. When a company turns over their investment banking duties to a banker they are assuring themselves coverage from that firm. If the firm is one of the majors, they have relationships with all of wallstreet, which puts them on the list of everyone else, and so on....The key is without that investment banking relationship, no one is getting paid by your company to do anything...and Wallstreet is all about getting paid. Let's face it Wallstreet is one big BOYS CLUB, if you scratch my back I'll scratch yours. GNET never subscribed to that club, Russ built a company off of a small, but elite group of brokers and clients...he has done all his own I.B. since then. Russ knows that if he builds us big enough they firms will be forced to come, and they have ...very,very slowly...so what does it take to get coverage...well the easy way is to pay for it, sign a I.B. deal with a major, or just keep plugging away at that top 10 list, and make aquisitions, and sooner of LATER they will be forced to come.
