I goofed that up, Bob; Sorry. They need to take 6% of a $90 B global book market in 2003, and have similar revenues from their non-book sales to have $10B in revenues in 5 years. And even if they only reach half of this, so what? Where will the share price be with $5B in total annual sales? I privately e-mailed you shortly after posting #1441 offering to snail mail you the 46 page analyst report which has the details on the calculations in post #1441. I can't post it because it is copyrighted. You never responded. I figured it was because you thought it was a waste of time, or something like that. It occurs to me now that maybe you never got that message. I was getting ready to compose another private e-mail, repeating the offer, and it occurred to me to ask the question, What is the point of all of this?---Of putting so much time into these postings, when there are so many other responsibilities that I am barely managing. I am not particularly angry--I am just realizing that I have too many other things to do with my life. Thus, I am signing off the thread for a while, or forever. Whatever. At risk of repetition, somebody on the Yahoo thread lost over $100,000 selling that stock short. I hope you shorts come out OK. I wish you all well. Best Regards Tom D
