And one final post from the Yahoo thread and MST 2000... ATG is development stage and has been for 2=almost 3 years while awaiting SEC approvals for the VTS system. It has no revenue except for Gomez, which was just over $1 Million last year. This year, Gomez should be up 300-500% on its revenue, ATG an infinite amount, because its first trading system launches approximately July 1. It should be very lucrative once it becomes operational. If you are looking backward on ATG, then turn around. Unlike Amazon, this one will only be losing money for one or two more fiscal quarters, and should thereafter be very profitable. If volumes on VTS are what was originally projected a few years ago, this will be a solid, profitable little company. If volumes on VTS are what FR recently predicted, it will be a very profitable mid-sized company. If volumes exceed FR's predictions, and if other modules are successful, this will be a cash cow beyond your wildest imaginations. But if you look at the past, there is nothing to see other than a concerted effort to develop the technology, to build a company from the ground up, and to get the requisite regulatory approvals to become operational. All three of those objectives appear to have been achieved as we roll to a July 1 launch date. And that is only what is publicly known. In my experience, when a stock increases 50% in value over a 10 hour trading period, on high volumes, there is usually a subplot that we will only find out about later.
