Are there long term options on PRST? Maybe this is a better way to play this game... I too never owned a stock and am always aware of who is pushing it....

Mad2, I am impressed with your post. It is valid and accurate, in essence, the questions and points you make are right on target. Much of what I posted about was based on the performance of the stock and not the company. One of my "speculations" revolved around the fact that there are many speculators out there that would buy PRST just based on the fact that it seems like a good buy right now...I am kind of like that in some ways on some days. Anyway, the base of PRST is truly something one can only speculate on. With earnings under question, it is truly a guessing game at this point. Regards, The Mentz

Mad2, I have re-listened to the conference call and got a lot more out of it the second time. If you are thinking about this company as an investment it would be worth the nickel or two to listen. 1-402-220-4017. Regarding earnings. Mr. Rossen clearly says that earnings will be modest and that revenue will be flat. A big difference from what the GV's of world have posted here. 15 HDP proofers per month for the rest of 1998. 90 platesetters and proofers this year. Thats over 20 million in sales for those products alone. Good luck to each and all SG

Mad2, you asked about " future marketability IMO other issues are being ignored such as defining of the markets for PRST products, distribution channels,". These may give you some idea about the "distribution channels" ALBANIA Grup S.A. 20 Makriyanni Avenue Moschato - Athens 18344 Greece Phone: +30-193-8000 Fax: +30-1942-7109 ARMENIA Grup S.A. 20 Makriyanni Avenue Moschato - Athens 18344 Greece Phone: +30-193-8000 Fax: +30-1942-7109 AUSTRALIA Heidelberg Australia 50 O'Dea Avenue Waterloo NSW 2017 Australia Phone: +61-2931-85222 Fax: +61-2931-37516 AUSTRIA Druma Posner Gesellschaft M.b.h. & Co.

Mad2, you ask about "defining of the markets for PRST products," dotprint.com Asian campaign begins with EAC "Heidelberg has identified Asia with its largely untapped Chinese market as a potential goldmine for the company.... In Asia/Pacific, Heidelberg believes there are 240,000 print shops, more than half the world's total, " Heidelberg is re-releasing two versions of the QM-DI in the next 18 months and Fuji dominates that region with product recognition and the indigenous advantage of loyalty. Since Fuji now carries the PRST platesetter and plates, you can maybe guess at the potential. Hmmmm!!! Good luck to each and all SG
