SOST on NBC DATELINE tonight for ONE HOUR SPECIAL: Raising of the TITANIC. Get your TV sets ready. SOST, and its CEO , George Tulloch is going to be featured on Dateline NBC tonight for a ONE hour special of "Raising the Titanic" Not only are they going to show them raising the 20 ton piece of the hull up to the ship, they are going to show more artifacts they are recovering on this mission. SOST makes most of its revenues from worldwide exhibitions of its TITANIC artifacts. They currently have exhibitions in Boston, Japan, and Germany. The tickets at Boston cost $14 a pop. They expect over 1 million people at the show. SOST has 16 million shares outstanding and a much lower float. But that's just $14 million in revs from Boston alone, there are two other sites, then they move to San Diego and New York City (domestically)... EPS for the first quarter this year was .08 EPS..up 2300% from last year. I believe the publicity of all of this media coverage will intrique people worldwide making them want to see this exhibition when it is nearby. They may also attempt to recover the marconi telegraph TITANIC used to send the SOS distress. I think the piece of the hull, more artifacts, this news coverage, and the possible telegraph... will have people flocking to this exhibition in the future. And I look forward to the opening at New York City... as the take in Revs should be phenomenal. They also make a lot of money in souvenirs at these exhibitions.... Watch Dateline NBC tonight...should be fascinating stuff. Good Trading! -DavidCG
