RE: next 3 months I foresee a possible downturn in the very short run. Microsoft selling some shares might spook some people. Also, 8x the stock price in 5 months is pretty good. Even with the events of the last week, many people are up pretty big, so if I were a true speculator, I'd be locking in some profits. As to the positive side, post #2573 went almost unnoticed. What will this stock be priced at when MCI/WORLDCOM announces a marketing strategy that includes GMGC products? I say there's a major gap up in the near future. The only thing I don't know is: will we gap up from 8 or 12?

Subu, My guess is we won't get a true carrier announcement at launch. Instead, perhaps we'll get a smaller bone, like a strong statement of carrier trial success and intent. I believe the party line: trials are going well but it takes time for the carrier brontosaurus' to waddle forward. Therefore they'll mask their intent until they're ready. Must be careful - there are T-Rexes out there! (Sorry, I'm reading my niece's dinosaur book this morning). Don't know what this means for the stock over the next three months. I could concoct a case either way. Wouldn't be surprised if we soared, wouldn't be surprised if we hit $8 ... how's that for clarity? In fact, we may do both. I suspect it will be a trader's paradise. Upside wildcard is anything from microsoft regarding the agent work. And there could be other surprises in the works. Personally, I lightened my position. This wasn't motivated by doubts, it was motivated by the fact that gmgc had grown to represent too much of my net worth and the price/volume hit a pre-established trigger point. Should we get back to single-digits, barring any negative news, I will certainly add again. Good luck to us all. Sea Otter
