Sam these guys have to do something outside the Y2000 problem to improve profitability and growth. As I said before I can't see value long-term in GPW unless their core business starts to grow in a serious way. But remember the GPW guys are not a.s kickers their a bunch of good old boys. Let's assume the company gets a meaningful Y2000 contract, let's say $30 million (not like the $30,000 contracts they have been announcing and promoting lately) then the stock will run but how will that be sustained? Especially after Y2000 comes and goes. Y2000 is a big company business. As I said before some small guys will benefit but they will only get the crumbs of all these billions being spent. The reason they will benefit is because they may get contracts that will be big in relation to their existing size not in relation to the amount being spent on the Y2000 problem.

Sam, I have seen a lot of concern about what all these Y2K co. are going to do come 2000. Most are buying up IT co.s to take them beyond that point and from what hear the Y2K is going to be a problem for a year after anyway. Most of all I can't see getting married to any stock these days. Hell, there s a lot of guys who won't be married to there wives come 2000.
