$$$ GSLI OPTICS NEWS $$$ ****************************************************** (1) Hiring blitz hits "optics" firm. canoe.ca Work force to more than double !! "Revenues from optics will increase from just $2 million last year to about $12 million this year, but the company's customers have asked that it be prepared for $60 million in optical business next year" Company is expected to do 12 million this year. That's 600 % growth rate. Company is expecting to do 60 million next year. That's a 500 % growth rate from this year. Holy cow !!! "This last leg up is because certain people are thinking of them as a photonics play in the same terms of JDS (Uniphase) and Corning," "There is tremendous interest in any company that has a photonics component to it. GSI Lumonics is doing this because there's a huge demand for it." Needham is expecting 25 - 30 million next year (conservative estimate - see article below) and says could see company doing 100 million in 'two' years. Way, Way, Way, Way .. too conservative at this rate. << Company giving lots of hints on direction !! >> << C'mon Winston 'please' announce a spin off of 'OPTICS' division on Aug 2, 2000. Note the headline "OPTICS FIRM" >> Then hopefully a takeover bid !! ******************************************************** (2) Q2 is in the bag !! New CFO appointed.

Upward momentum !! Look at volume !!>> openfund.com metamarkets.com << PEG RATIO compared to JDSU !!! Holy COW !!! >> << They bought back 7,000 today at $42.50 !! Upward momentum !!
