Hi, Mike -- re: ". . is it normal for a brokerage house to mention a stock they don't cover? yet" Yes, quite often, especially when the company/stock being mentioned isn't even in the same industry being followed by the analyst who is talking about it. Often it's just an informational/tangential reference to a company which has some relationship with the company or industry being discussed, e.g., GM-GMGC. So the fact that auto analysts are beginning to mention GMGC doesn't necessarily mean anything. On the other hand, word travels quickly, and if - for example - we start to get comments on GMGC from the technology/Internet/software analysts at any of these firms, then there's a good probability that they're preparing to pick up coverage. I'll obviously keep you posted if I hear anything. ea
