Huh? My silly post wasn't very useful I know, few are. You should see some of the ones I post after grave- yard shifts, yikes. Arbitration is least of my concerns*, if it had been quick, likely someone would have gotten some cash. But with it dragging on, my guess is when the announcement comes it still wont be clear as to who won--(A: the lawyers of course). I suppose there is a chance that since the initial amount Alpha claimed is now not a lot less than the market cap of Softquad, that all this arbitration is part of some scheme for LH to absorb SWEBF, who knows...but sheer speculation. would like to own more* I basically have all my General Magic and Golden Eagle profits rolled into this one...which is to say, more than half of my profits from this year, and that is no small amount (for me). So I guess I am getting a little nervous--I'd have thought that things would be a little more active by now. I suppose you can always look to the chart for some comfort--seems to have a solid base now, and a nice pulse to it with pop ups every few months. If we could just get some volume--geeze, I was waiting several weeks for a little volume like we had yesterday to buy my last "third", even saved an eighth over what I'd have paid if I bot the day before. (**So, what is my greatest concern? Well, the damn add ons were still not at CompUSA last time I checked, and every day they sit in a warehouse is a day they aren't selling copies. Now you have to be happy with the 747 add on--the box sticks out because of the nose of that Jet--and often it is stacked right next to the MS Flight sim boxes. But for crying out loud, they said the new add ons shipped a couple weeks ago, let's have em!) Today...again no volume, the crowd holds it's breath;-) eom

>>I don't get the sense that a win is absolutely critical to the business it isn't, however, it could be a windfall ($9-$12 million+, deservedly) and most likely would then be considered positive/gain attention by the street and possibly perceived as the critical mass to effectively [instant/short-term dominant market share/brand equity] launch/pursue SWEBFs substantive business units (including HMAPPS, CDWEB, XMetaL,...)...accordingly SWEBF could be in play with the street pursuant to a significant legal damages win (by August 17?) vs. in latter Q4 (NewKidCo).
