But e-commerce is so huge! GTR has to prove itself among the 30 or so companies out there in e-commerce. BII is another story but even they have to show major strides in revenues... I don't know much about SOJ - although it was mentioned, I think, in the earlier posts on this topic. You said someone mentioned $3.30. Perhaps it was in relation to a think piece that capitalized 2001's earnings. In other words they expect to see GTR at that price (at that time or next week?). I do not feel that GTR is yet ready. It may go up - but once on a right footing (i.e. regular quarterly revenue gains of decent growth), it could be right up there with the big internet stocks (always assuming they can open up a cool interactive site). Why? Because I think GTR has it in them to be seen in hindsight as having been responsible for the biggest revolution in publishing since Penguins brought out reissued books as 'paperbacks' in the mid thirties. GTR is (and will remain) the leader in reissued half price video games.

Good morning John, Now, let me throw out some numbers here. Let's assume that Yorkton is right and GTR earns $0.22 per share for the year ending today. If the stock traded at 20 times earnings that would be $4.40, right? Now let's assume that there e-commerce gets off the ground and they get, let's say 50% of BII's market cap for there e-commerce initiative. That would add another $375 million to their market cap. GTR has 25 million shares outstanding, so that means another $15.00 per share, for a grand total of $19.40....$19.40.... I know I may only be dreaming here, but can they pull it off you think?
