Is this what everyone is expecting will be announced Wednesday when Navarre's CEO is on Squawk Box? Monday December 7, 3:30 pm Eastern Time Navarre soars, traders cite possible IPO NEW YORK, Dec 7 (Reuters) - Shares of Navarre Corp. soared 46 percent in heavy trade on Monday amid excitement that the company could soon sell its Internet unit to the public, traders said. Shares of the Minneapolis-based software and music distributor rose 3-5/8 to 11-1/2. When asked about a possible initial public offering of its NetRadio online unit, however, Spencer Moss, director of business development at Navarre, said no terms had yet been filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission and that he could not comment further. But traders speculated that the company might file terms with the SEC for the offering. ''What's happening to the Internet ones is that anyone who has an Internet business has a fiduciary duty to spin it off to a general public,'' said one over-the-counter trader. ''I think that's what's happening here.'' ''(Navarre is) one of those wild stocks that gets caught up in the frenzy,'' said another trader. The company this summer said it planned to file the offering, but it has not yet done so. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Any opinion for TMSR in connection with this message : By: Former_Insider Date: Dec 8 1998 6:21AM EST Seperate the pea from the pod, folks! Thrustmaster is a HARDWARE company. NOT an INTERNET company. This is a brilliant MARKETING play by management! The company is getting a shitload of FREE press and advertisement!!! If you read the Thrustmaster press release carefully, it states that the Talk n' Play software is NOT integrated with Thrustmaster's products. It's just BUNDLED! In other words, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY A THRUSTMASTER TO USE THE SOFTWARE which can be downloaded for FREE at talknplay.com. Visit the site and you will find that it can be used with ANY game or hardware product - NOT JUST games bundled with the Thrustmaster product! I REPEAT - THIS AIN'T NEW!!! AND IT AIN'T THRUSTMASTER'S!!! Every gaming community already on the internet can (and some already have) start using this software TODAY! I've been using it with friends while playing StarCraft for weeks already! I don't even USE a Thrustmaster. This HARDWARE company has been losing money for a L-O-N-G time. At least they can save on the advertising budget this quarter! You're all FOOLS!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! --------- Besides, a SOFTWARE company already has a game out that does this (with patented technology). They just haven't been smart enough to go on CNBC and get FREE ADVERTISING!!! Visit website or download demo from this link: fireteam.com It's a Direct X app demo (pretty slick, too!). It takes @5-7 minutes on a 56k connection. ------------------------------------------ Got that message from Yahoo message board. If that info is true (i think that opinion is make sense for me) then, I am curious, if we can get the software for free, then what product will TMRS sell (sound card and headseat ?) after I visited its website, here the talk n' play system requirement : Talk n' Play Participant Minimum Recommended Operating System Windows* 95/98 Windows* 95/98 Internet Connection 28.8 Kbs 28.8 Kbs Processor 133MHz Pentium* 133MHz Pentium* Ram 16 MB 24 MB Hard Disk 50MB of free space 50MB of free space Audio Headset Headset Browser Netscape Navigator* v3.0 or higher, or Internet Explorer* v3.0 or higher Sound Card See sound card list. Talk n' Play Host Minimum Recommended Operating System Windows* 95/98 Windows* 95/98 Internet Connection 56 Kbs 56 Kbs CPU 200 MHz Pentium* with MMX* technology 233 MHz Pentium II* Ram 32 MB 32 MB Hard Disk 50MB of free space 50MB of free space Audio Headset Headset Browser Netscape Navigator* v3.0 or higher, or Internet Explorer* v3.0 or higher Sound Card See sound card list. Looking at that requirement, his argument is make sense for me. Do you have any opinion on that message talknplay.com./ Abi PS : Is this stock still a good to be bought ?
