How many stock options of GTIS do you own? Number and Exercise price? cl >>>Now is the time to be buying, and then sit on it for 18 - 30 months. I don't see it hitting the 20's anytime soon, but the teens I think are a safe assumption, at least based on what I've seen GT announce on its schedule, which includes several of our games and games I've recently seen (including the very recently leaked beta of Unreal).<<<

<<<Ah yes, the buy high, sell low strategy...it does tend to upset its followers. ;) <g>>>> Yes, this statement alone proves that there is no grey matter between your ears. <<Now is the time to be buying, and then sit on it for 18 - 30 months.

Didn't they teach you anything about opportunity costs? In order to double your money in GT, it would need to reach the 14 or 15 range. It hasn't done that in almost two years but you seem to think they are going to reach that within the next 18 months. Of course, you may have thought that 18 months ago but who's counting. So you have these nice folks spending their money on an issue that has been able to bounce from 8 to 12 to 7 in the last two years. This is great advice if they had a time machine. In the mean time while they are waiting for this miracle to unfold many a missed opportunity will occur in stocks that may be a bit more pricey but perform beautifully compared to GTIS. <<One of the best business books I've read is Focus, by Al Ries. I sent Ron Chaimowitz a copy of this book last year, along with a yellow highlighter. ;) I don't know if he read any of it, but it does seem like GT is making the right moves based on what this book recommends successful companies do.>>> Here we the famous Scott Miller doling out charity to a rich fat cat but yet he whines about paying $125 to help the poor waifs on this thread. <<<It's companies that diversify that tend to get in trouble, through lack of focus on its core competency.>>> Well Victoria will be pleased to know that I finally figured out who you are. You aren't Scott Miller, you're Scott Adams!! <<< I know the people who run GT well enough to know that they will solve any problems with utmost determination, and strive to be the market leader. They've done amazingly well in a short time, and to count them down or out now is selling them far too short.>>> Give me a break. The first responsibility that any executive has is to the shareholders. Any corporate business class will tell you that or haven't you learned that yet? So far, GT's board has done nothing but screw their shareholders for two years.
