SW...I can talk to you all day about MRPS financials, but ITOY and SHAL are harder to quantify. Of course not all stocks (in fact most) on the BB cannot be evaluated on a PE basis. The best you do on those is to read the news. SHAL CEO is a very astute guy and looks long term. There is no hype in him. That said, he is very excited, as am I, about the SOLTUION NET IPO (i.e the deal with SUN Microsystems, Oracle, the country of Singapore, and SHAL). If you do not understand what SHAL does, you need to call Garrett Krause or read their news stories. In a nutshell they are a company that acquires VERY select companies with exciting products, and polish them up and then takes them public. They then retain 30% or more of the value of the company, which is what we shareholders own. These companies have ZERO skeletons in their closet and are not brought public until the proper time. SHAL does not even allow the CEO of these companies to dilute the stock! IT is very high quality management and concept. Solution Net will be very big, I feel. I am less aware of the other two IPO's to go public that SHAL owns.
