Clint, looks like a good qtr report for your ITRA.

Do you know anything about Softbank, the Japanese VC/Internet/Publishing Co? Looks like its dirt cheap based on their assets. They own 28% of Yahoo as well as stakes in Geocities, etrade, 78% of Ziff-davis, comdex - and they have VC biz which includes future hot ipo's like thestreet.com.

Anywhay, from what I can find the market cap of softbank is about 11 bill us$ (104 mill shares X 111.). The value of their Yahoo holdings is almost 11 bill us$. Its had a big run over the past month as Japan and internet stocks surge, but it still looks very cheap.

But, I may be missing something so do your own DD. If you know anything (or any other lurkers) let me know. oh yeah, another problem is that it is not traded in the US. I have an order to buy some tonight in Japan.

Clint,
Unicore a private company with Y2K products merged with another smaller company . . . TSSW. The CEO of Unicore will run both companies. As part of this deal, He will receive 25% of all shares of TSSW. Unicore is profitable with good revenue and earnings growth the last year. Revenue was up over 30% and Net Income was up over 100%.
See news on TSSW. Looks undervalued to me and the CEO who insisted on shares.

Dave
