Lets see what gives, but I'm confident to see CGI in the $30 range after split by mid summer. I believe has J-R said we may be seeing another split before the end of this year, who expected this last split to take place May 21st, I surely did not! Time will tell, but if history is any indication we will be making lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$.

Coz, I agree regarding CGI's increasing role with telecoms. Hope you got to read the article on Serge Godin and CGI in Canadian Business entitled "Northern Lite" where CGI is viewed as having the potential to become the next Northern Telecom. As I've stated before, to me any short-term fluctuations in CGI are blips on the way to someday trading on the NYSE. As nice as the profits are, what will be particularly satisfying (should it come to pass) is to know that we have gotten in on the ground floor, and grown with a global player. Incidentally, I hope you've had a chance to review the information on the thread I started on Informission (new IPO) and whose software CGI uses for their Y2K work. In addition to re-engineering software, one of Informission's core competencies is embedded systems for telecoms so there may be far more collaboration ahead for these two companies. As we know, CGI does not endorse and partner with marginal outfits so Informission may blossom even more quickly as a public company.

Hi Yhe Coz ! I saw the same movement as you on the TSE. On a long run I believe that CGI will develop a new segment of their business. Why ? because the growth of outsourcing will come more and more from mergers and that segment who is still strong now will 3 years from now be less important. The life cycle of a product is about 7 years and mergers will like any other fashion past. SO the real question is : will CGI be able to innovate and generate new products and services. Lets all hope. Au revoir Jean-Robert
