In my case with Incyte I'd have done better to listen to my biorhythms.

I found an article describing the "conversion rate" which is an interesting and simple metric for measuring the effectiveness of web sites. I'm posting it since that seems to have become one of the preoccupations in assessing some of GMST's prospects for generating ad based revenues. The article is on CNET news and it's entitled, "The Most Powerful Internet Metric of All."

Warning for anyone attempting to trade GMST options at E-Trade. The option chain for GMST brings up the wrong Gemstar. Something called Gemstar International Wrap,symbol GST, a Canadian company I think.
