GMST Time to dump it? .... Or time to 'back up the truck'

I've given thought to that dilemma. My thought is that this is a gamble right now. The thing about gambles is that you have to ask yourself "Do I have some money that I could lose and still sleep at night?". Like the lottery, most gambles don't pay off, but those that do pay off very well. The next problem is that most of us can't affort to put too much into a gamble, so even a huge percentage payoff is a modest amount of money. In such a case I think you have to watch closely to double down quickly if the payoff comes, and don't weep if it doesn't.

Regarding G*: I suggest you read the SI G* board and sift through the junk on the Yahoo G* board to find your answer. In brief, G* uses a totally different technology (CDMA) than Iridium. Also, its satellites seem to stay in orbit.
