What we had been hoping for...finally. This should attract some investor interest and I agree that the stock should continue to rise tomorrow. It's the day after I'm worried about... It seems like investors forget very quickley with this stock after they make a great announcement. I'm hoping they can follow thru with great earnings numbers now that they've got everyones attention. The old one-two punch. I'm also keeping my fingers crossed that this Asia "thing" doesn't impact them too strongly (especially this quarter), because as I understand it they do, and were planning on a lot of business from over there. Anyway, I'm glad I stuck around and didn't sell(it was nip and tuck there for awhile)and am hoping this creates some interest and momentum for a stock that just doesn't seem to get no respect... Go GMSTF!!! Peter

Well that was nice. +21% for GMSTF. H&Q upped the earnings for the year ended 3/99 to $1.30 from $1.14... Its still only 22x earnings and you are getting a monopoly/recurring-revenue/partnered company. The $1.30 doesn't include potential advertising revenue-sharing for its guides. Patience has been rewarded but I want more. How about $33 after they announce results.....

<< Good news out of GMSTF today. Microsoft decided not to fight GMSTF in court and will instead pay 'em to use their guide. This was a rather large risk that has now been overcome. Stock should be up tomorrow.>> Microsoft CANT fight gmstf on the patents. gmstf(or rather the rump sght's) patents are very broad, detailed etc. Stick aroound for 2-3 quarters and you might see $60+. Today was just the beginning(imho).
