I was wondering the same thing about gmst. Found the following: Comments from Robertson Stephens: Strong Buy Michael Graham, Internet "We believe there is potential for significant positive news over the coming months, including, the closing of the merger, the launch of AOL TV, and the introduction of estimates for the combined GMST/TVGIA," said Graham. "Our best estimate is that the TV Guide merger should close within the next couple of weeks. However, we are more confident that the merger will close. The company recently quoted an installed base of over three million for its EPGs. We believe the emerging eBook business could be very large and we believe Gemstar can trade up to $130 in a positive environment, based on expected increased visibility towards its EPG advertising business. We recognize the difficulty stocks face in this environment and we believe Gemstar is profitable, proven, and patent protected." Also a number of the media stocks are doing well today.

Frank (Thread), Re: Silicon Investor Problem Resolution re sporadic PM capability. First: to any of the 20 or so individuals that have PM'ed me since Friday and not received a response, please allow me to apologize and tell you how a problem with my capability to respond was resolved (as others may have same problem). I have been receiving PM's regularly but since Friday I could only occasionally respond. I have been posting on, and reading the "Silicon Investor ThinkTank" thread through the disruptions. Actually, it is a thread I have participated in since Bryan Burdick of GNET/SI founded it. As we have been restored to normalcy nobody had mentioned PM problems but mine still persisted. I mentioned this to Bryan on thread and queried if others had same problem. Several did. Bryan PM'd me asking for detail. I could not respond by PM so posted on thread. Another poster suggested the cause and recommended a fix. It worked. Here is the cause & cure: I typically begin a post ... Individuals Name, (space) << quote >> Any HTML expression in the first full line of a post causes the problem. << caused the problem Removing it cures the problem Placing HTML later in the post does not affect posting PM's. This applies to PM's not posts. Bryan has advised that the problem will be fixed. So thanks to BryanB and his staff who have had a rougher holiday than us. I will respond to all PM's, that I was unable to. - Eric -
