RE: GSM IS THE BEST!!!!As an infrequent poster, I have observed the recent dialogue re: web based voting.
As a shareholder who has discussed the internet voting possiblities with GSM management (several years ago), I understand they do have the software available to conduct web-based voting -
if anyone has industry knowledge to the contrary -please post.I agree GSM should seriously consider this technology if only to have ready product available for introduction in 5-10 years.
The issue is not the technology - it's the politicians and legislation as well as logistics and security. How many jurisdictions in North America are currenting using levered machines or permit only paper ballot readers? A paper trail on the net?
I think poster VoteByWeb has added some insight recently to this forum and he may be right about the election officials and the role of money and power. My question is how does the public sharpen the pencils? If some decision-makers enjoy this money and power arrangement, why would they jeopardize this and change to web voting ?
The inevitability of web voting and the characterization of the election industry is logically inconsistent.
Thanks for the website references, I noted one site was directing their efforts towards labor unions, trade associations, NFPs, etc. - but not government. There are lots of innovative products out there - how many really take off?
I think "conundrum?" has got it right. Personally,
I've got GSM with the past 9 months of $.16 EPS US and I think they are just starting to produce.
As for the share price, my guess is we're at or near the bottom and volume is negligible. As a comparison, on Feb.7, CTO (TSE) traded 3,200 shares at the end of a long dormant period. On Feb.8 CTO traded 3.2 million shares doubling in price. The example and pattern is clear.
Given the industry and size of GSM, the company doesn't need to win all or many of the largest contracts to do very well. IMHO, GSM is trading as a "value" stock, however I believe the steak and sizzle of a growth stock will become evident.
