Here's my notes for the confer call. As you can see, the stock may get rocked for a bit, but there's some reasons why mstr shot up to $333. And here they are:

- keeping a position in all these companies that they're sprouting & spinning off

- not doing a 2ndry. Instead, may raise debt or do priv placements especially for some of thier dot.coms

- $10 mill+ contracts with ameritrade, primark, $35+ mill w/ deutschebank, - but much have services so can't recognize on day one

- deutschebank w/ pay for the system network + pay us a royalty. So they're u/w it. It's a cost + contract

- only $100k of recurring rev but hope to ramp up

- has ton of new business w/ Fort 500 coming on line

- one time charges of cancelling 2ndry & restatment of charges; so exp w/ not go up at same rate in future

- top 3 subscribers: Ameritrade, WSJ, & Earthlink

- not aware of any customer losses over Fin'l Statment issue. Reason: what we offer is differentiated; no real direct competitors for what we offer.
