I have followed them a little for over a year but every time I think it's time for them to turn around they don't. I'll wait for signs of life. I think Gems is a stock you don't want to try and pick a bottom on.I would wait till they were definitely on the up trend before considering them. And by the way I AM NO TECH GUY. Took me a year and a half to figure out email. lol MarkC.

OT: jane, I've always appreciated your opinion..if you have the time.. I'm no expert, but just wondering... AMZN has been charging publishers for favorable placement. This is not their primary source of income, just like the franchise fee McDonald's collects isn't recurrent income. Basically, these are both "non-recurrent" sources of income. Depending upon how it's presented, they could be "inflating their earnings/minimizing losses" Say, isn't that what Boston Chicken did (cook the books with franchise fees getting comingled with royalties) not to long ago? Do you think AMZN could be doing the unthinkable? Just wondering... david
