Doug- Wasn't this one of your long term holds?? Thursday, March 11, 1999 Love 'em or hate 'em, radio and TV call-in talk shows continue to be tremendously popular. Growth stock advisor Jim Oberweis recommends Gentner Communications (GTNR), who holds roughly 60% of the domestic market for the telephone interface products used to put callers on the air. The firm also offers top-notch audio teleconferencing products for such places as conference rooms, distance learning centers and courtrooms. Oberweis finds booming sales and earnings at Gentner. Last quarter's sales (and EPS) grew 31% (50%) to $5.3 million ($0.06) from the same period last year. The firm predicts international business will help to maintain this robust growth pace, as overseas sales last year rose from its traditional 10% to above 18% (15% of the firm's total revenue). The full-year picture also looks compelling. Revenue (EPS) of $13.4 million (n/a) in 1997 grew to $17.2 million ($0.18) in 1998, and Oberweis predicts it to clock in at $22 million ($0.25) in 1999. "These shares may be appropriate for risk- oriented investors," Oberweis says. He placed clients of his asset management firm into approximately 100,000 shares. Tom
