Sorry. Dunno. I didn't even know that it was even being followed. Video games are so neglected compared to the flavor of the month - e-commerce. I just read that Nintendo's sales of the 'Legend of Zelda' for November thru January exceeded Hollywood's top grossing movie for the same period ($150 million versus $114 million) and it was reported that Nintendo will sell six million copies at $60 per pop by the end of this month. However when will all this trickle down to Games Trader? Dotcomm

Yes today I got a copy of a report that labelled GTR as a 'buy' although this was termed as 'strong' rather than 'moderate'. It is looking for a target price of $3.30 and was written by Roger Dent and Tracey McLaughlin of Yorkton. I've read some of Dent's work before and it seemed pretty fair. However, this report was somewhat pretty wishy washy with earnings forecasts stretching out to 2001. Unforunately the report gave us little inkling of what GTR is trying to do from a corporate strategy point of view. Will they get into new titles? Will they get into e-commerce? Nada. But it is starting to talk about PC games. This is a very different market sector. All things considered however, I think they made a convincing case for value at its current price of $1.75-$2.00. When will people start to compare it with CDWI? Dotcomm
