Steve, Alactel Optronics and ALA had a great report today! Just what the NASDoctor ordered ;-) Via E:mail Alactel IR confirmed ALA retained 80% ownership of ALAO and linked me to the Alactel Optronics pages of their website for financial data on ALAO. I found no financial data for ALAO on the website. I assume 20% of today's revenue is attributed to ALAO and 80% to ALA. If so, I could probably piece something together from today's financial report. If 16.2 million shares of ALAO are issued @ US $62.50 , this is US $1 billion and ALA would have retained 80% or US $4 billion, of ALAO, so the market cap on ALAO is about US $5 billion. Am I in the ballpark? If so , hasn't Market Guide attributed 100% of the revenues to ALAO? The MG data makes ALAO look like a value stock. biz.yahoo.com Any help would be appreciated? John
