IMO, GMGC is one of the Internet-enabled stocks, but there is now a transition in the minds of the investing public from old GMGC as Portico to new GMGC as 'net VUI and source of intelligent agent technology. So there is a little lag there. Also, just as the railroads came first, and the grain trusts and gigantic meat packers followed, so will the "pure-play" Internet stocks (essentially a nerd plus a box, as it has been characterized) need to expand to fill the available space, before the GMGC 'net tools (VUI and agents) become supremely valuable. All IMO.

Viper, Although I know we need to be patient, I share your frustration as it's extremely depressing to watch the markets shoot up every day, while we drift down. It's concerning! Nick

VIPER85730....Actually, I like GMGC right where it is for the time being. Every couple of days I take profits from other stocks and increase my position in GMGC. I think GMGC's time will come early next year. As one other poster noted about the net stocks.."you don't want to get caught in them when they come crashing down"...Well one way not to get "caught" is if you already had a large position before they started their move upward....Thats the scenario I'm betting on with GMGC.
