Jack,

I am holding G* for my daughter until she reachs 20. She is almost four. Any successful launch counts in my mind.

STARSEM LAUNCHES FIRST SOYUZ/IKAR VEHICLE

posted on 2/9/99 at 05:06 UTC by Stefan Barensky

The first Soyuz/Ikar launch vehicle successfully lifted off from Baikonur cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, at 03:54 GMT on February 9. The rocket, provided by Starsem of Suresnes, France, carries four Globalstar mobile telephony satellites.

Deployment of the satellites by the Ikar upper stage is due from 07:27 to 9:05 GMT.

Who cares about a short-term pop -- aren't we all long-termers here? :-). As you know, the market craves/rewards certainty. Reliable launches (with backup up the yazoo) return attention to the low-cost business plan with huge market demand, excellent CDMA technology from QCOM, well-regarded worldwide partners/distribution channel, and proven LOR management/execution skills -- all very favorable to GSTRF. I'm looking forward to the mid-3/99 launch so GSTRF can start more extensive system testing w/16 birds in the sky and then the 2 launches/month schedule beginning in 5/99. Cheers to the hardworking GSTRF employees.

P.S. If anything, a successful launch means that traders can again buy the dips with impunity as funds/etc. rebuild long-term positions. Just a thought.
