You're absolutely correct. It's too long to wait 30 days for the stock to be $30 and something must be done about it. Why not just go to a bank, show them your gmgc holdings and borrow the difference until the 30 days is up. That way, no waiting!

<Is this not a 30 dollar stock or what? How much longer are we going to have to wait? Until after July 30th? These guys have to think big and go for it, if not the competition is going to eat them alive!!> Who are "these guys" who have to think big? Certainly GMGC is thinking big. They have a style of business which I find very exciting. The mere fact that they have a sound logo is amazing. This is so well thought out. The look and feel of the system is smooth and user friendly. No, all the pieces are in place to have a great start. Remember, they could probably get many more users in the first month than they want. That would be a great problem. They will have a lot of support issues, not to mention the expected tuning they will have to go through when the system starts handling so many users. Look at the problems AOL had when they offered $19.99 internet accounts. They had an established service and all of a sudden demand went through the roof. Quality of service could not keep up. GMGC must go forward with care. It will be hard to win back disappointed customers. It will be better if they can gain and keep users in a steady pace. IMHO Regards, Mark
