INSP bringt fast jeden Tag gute Nachrichten,ausser gestern,und der Kurs macht aber nichts!Die NTT Docomo News waeren mir lieber,dann kann ich meine Papiere zu 23$ abschieben.Kaufpreis 7,2€,das ist OK

[TomNovy]

gestern mit Microsoft waren doch auch gute News. Aber inzwischen sind mir die News absolut egal. Und für die Aktie ja anscheinend auch überflüssig.

[Isu]

Ich verstehe die Welt nicht mehr!!!!
Wahrscheinlich ist es besser die Aktie jetzt zu verkaufen!
Bei 5$ könnte man dan wieder einsteigen!

Was meint Ihr?

Gruß

[TomNovy]

wegen einem Euro brauchst du auch nicht mehr verkaufen

[TomNovy]

@ RNW

hast du nicht mal was von Openwave erzählt ?
Was machen die ?
Demnächst erstmal wieder Gewinnmitnahmen ?

[Realnetworker]

Neben Commerce One haben die Epoch Partners in ihren Berichten heute auch andere New Economy Werte unter die Lupe genommen, wie die Wireless-Unternehmen Infospace (INSP), Openwave Systems (OPWV) und Vicinity (VCNT). Insbesondere analysierte man die Ausblicke und die Zukunft der Unternehmen auf dem zukunftsträchtigen Wireless-Sektor.
Kurz zusammengefaßt beinhaltet der Bericht, daß man für die Unternehmen Infospace und Openwave ordentliche Zahlen für das vierte Quartal 2000 erwarte, Vicinity sollte zumindest ein leicht positives sequentielles Umsatzwachstum präsentieren können. Die Teilnehmerzahl (Subscriber)an den Wireless-Diensten der Unternehmen Infospace und Openwave sollten ein starkes Wachstum aufzeigen können. Alle drei Unternehmen würden mehr als 40% ihrer Umsätze im Wireless-Bereich generieren, so daß die weiteren Aussichten der Unternehmen und die Kursentwicklungen stark von der Entwicklung dieses Gesamtmarktes abhänge.


Openwave ist ebenfalls im wireless sektor tätig, liefert aber weniger content als insp...ziemlich unbekannt ,kommt ber bei den analysten gut weg , nach gap schließung schau ich sie mir mal genauer an..entstand u .a aus dem zusammenschluß phone .com und ??? schau in us boards , da steht mehr...unheimliches wachstum, und zahlen waren irgendwie 3 mal so gut wie erwartet...
