@Nix Wasa:
Basst schoh....ich glaub`s dir ja und hab heute zugeschlagen. Wo siehst du - Stroh-Rum beiseite - realistische Kursziele für Ende dieses jahres und Mitte nächsten Jahres (NACH dem Nasdaq-Crash ;...) ??? Servus - Chris

[Nix Wasa]

@ Monse !!!

Keine Sorge ich geh erst wieder ab 15.Nov 2 Wochen zum Angeln. (80% und so)


Bist ein wenig früh dran mit GRIC.

Oder besser gesagt. Wer hat Angst vor Amazon( Earnings)Morgen.

Es ist sehr gewagt vor diesen zahlen Nasdaq Notierte Aktien zu Kaufen.

Ich hab zwar selber Sohu gekauft, rechne aber mit Hammer Zahlen. Und die Merils und Goldmans dieser Welt sollten das ja auch wissen.


Zu GRIC:

Kurs ziehle zu geben ist schwer.

Es gibt noch keine Vergleichs Aktie außer IPASS.

Und bei IPASS wurden jetzt mal die IPO Gewinne mitgenommen.

Es ist daher nicht so leicht zu übertragen.


Ich weiß nur das General Electric 3% bei GRIC gekauft hat. Und auf fast jeder Telko Messe dieser Erde das Thema Nr.1 Wi-Fi heißt.

GRIC ist von der Market Cap her noch sehr Günstig 160 Mio $ Und es sind nur 50% der Aktien im Freien Handel.

Ich sag mal Kurse um die 50,-- $ sind nicht so abwegig.



Bin selber sehr Neugierig wie sich der Gesamte Sektor Entwickelt.

Bei Ipass Läuft ja bald die IPO Halte First ab der Aktien (180 Tage).

Und wenn dann noch der Markt in die Knie geht im Frühjahr haben wir schon den Nächsten Kandidaten für die Rally 2004.

[MONSIEURCB]

Hm.
"Wenn der Markt im Frühjahr in die Knie geht..."
Wenn`s eh alle wissen und DAVOR "rechtzeitig" aussteigen, gibt`s eine praecox self fullfilling prophecy. Jedenfalls bleib ich Gric jetzt mal einfach treu und wart`s ab.
MERCI, Nix Wasa!

Wäre ALVARION nicht auch eine Alternative zu GRIC ????

MILPITAS, Calif., Oct 23, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- GRIC Communications, Inc. (GRIC) , a leading provider of secure enterprise mobility solutions, announced a profit of $178,000, or $0.01 per share, in the third quarter of 2003 on a revenue increase of 12 percent to $10.7 million, compared with a net loss of $0.02 per share and revenue of $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2002. Overall gross margins were 61 percent in the third quarter of 2003, compared to 55 percent in the third quarter of 2002. Cash increased to $23.4 million in the third quarter of 2003 from $22.7 million in the second quarter of 2003.

The Company announced that it signed 30 new enterprise customers and value added reseller (VAR) agreements in the last three months, including Merrill Lynch, Global Marine Systems LTD and KLA Tencor, adding them to its growing list of worldwide enterprise customers that already includes such companies as Avnet Inc., Lockheed Martin Corp., Matsushita Avionics Systems Corp., Procter & Gamble, Stanley Works and VeriSign, Inc. Major VARs who signed on with GRIC included Allstream Corp. (formerly AT&T Canada) and Activ Australia.

"As evidence of the success of our direct sales efforts since last year`s introduction of our GRIC MobileOffice solution to the market, we have signed more than 80 enterprise customers," said Bharat Dave, President and Chief Executive Officer of GRIC. "Revenue from enterprise customers and VARs on a combined basis now makes up more than 25 percent of our company`s overall revenue mix and we expect that percentage to continue to grow in future quarters."

Dave noted that GRIC has significantly stepped up its enterprise sales and marketing efforts, as evidenced by approximately $500,000 in increased programs and headcount spending during the last quarter compared to the second quarter of 2003. The Company is waging an aggressive, sustained marketing campaign to increase GRIC`s brand recognition and drive sales leads in the critical enterprise market.

To further strengthen GRIC`s total value proposition, the Company recently announced its plans to acquire Axcelerant, Inc., a leading provider of managed broadband VPN services for Fortune 1,000 enterprises such as Bristol-Myers Squibb, Philip Morris USA, Charles Schwab, and many others. Together, GRIC and Axcelerant provide enterprises with a ground-breaking offering: the industry`s first and most comprehensive solution for managing secure remote access for all employees outside the corporate firewall -- including mobile workers, teleworkers and branch office employees.

"It is clear that the GRIC message and GRIC`s value proposition of increased management control and higher end-user productivity, coupled with lower total cost of ownership and faster return on investment, is resonating strongly with current and prospective enterprise customers," said Dave. "Our planned acquisition of Axcelerant, which we expect to be finalized in the current quarter, will make this positioning even more compelling. Based on the response we have received from existing Axcelerant and GRIC customers, we anticipate strong market acceptance of the new GRIC total solution for outside the firewall access. One of Axcelerant`s long time customers, Mindspeed Technologies, has already adopted the combined GRIC/Axcelerant solution."

"Our ability to generate positive cash flow in three of the last four quarters is a good indication of the underlying financial strength of GRIC`s business model," said Kim Silverman, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of GRIC. "This strong cash position provides enhanced flexibility to accelerate our revenue growth trajectory and enables us to expand our service offering and take advantage of emerging markets."

Dave emphasized that the Company has also signed several agreements that will extend its global leadership position in the burgeoning Wi-Fi industry. "Our agreements with market leaders such as Hanaro Telecom, SingTel and STSN will not only enhance the GRIC TierOne Network(TM), but will also help stimulate market demand for Wi-Fi by making Wi-Fi available to a greater number of major corporate enterprises," he said. "In addition, we expect to see substantial growth in the number and diversity of Wi-Fi access locations in Europe in the fourth quarter as a result of our recent agreements with The Cloud, Monzoon Networks and PicoPoint. These network providers will bring more than 2,200 Wi-Fi access locations to the GRIC TierOne Network over the coming months.

GRIC already has deployed an international broadband network covering 20 countries with nearly 600 wired Ethernet locations -- primarily in hotels in the United States -- and more than 2,500 wireless access locations. By implementing currently signed agreements, GRIC plans to raise the number of countries covered by the network to 32 and the number of wireless access points alone to more than 4,000 in the next several months. GRIC also expects to add additional fixed Ethernet locations in the current quarter. This emerging broadband network complements GRIC`s leading dialup network of over 35,000 dialing locations in more than 150 countries.

Telecommunication customers of the Company include many of the world`s top-tier ISPs and telcos such as AOL, AT&T, Cable & Wireless, China Telecom, Chunghwa Telecom, Earthlink, France Telecom, MCI, NTT, SingTel, Sony Communication Network Corporation and Telstra.

The Company noted that minutes of Internet remote access carried over the GRIC TierOne Network during the third quarter of 2003 grew 13 percent over the same quarter last year. GRIC carried 286 million minutes of Internet remote access traffic during the third quarter of 2003, compared with 252 million minutes during the third quarter of 2002.

The Company also announced the appointment of Walter Sousa, Executive Chairman of MediaRing Ltd., a Singapore Exchange-listed company, to its board of directors, compensation committee and nomination committee. Sousa, who is 60, has served as MediaRing`s Chairman since the company`s initial public offering in 1999 and its Executive Chairman since September 2001. From 1993 to 1996, Sousa was the Chairman and Chief Operating Officer of AT&T Asia Pacific. From 1991 to 1993, he was Chief Operating Officer of Astec (BSR) PLC, a London Stock Exchange-listed company, where he was responsible for worldwide operations. From 1985 to 1991, Sousa was the President of Hewlett Packard Far East, based in Hong Kong. He holds a Masters degree in Public Administration from American University, and a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from Santa Clara University.

In addition, the Company announced the resignation of board members Mark Hsu and Robert Shen, representatives of H&Q Asia Pacific, a venture capital fund. Their resignations, effective October 20, 2003, reflected a decision by H&Q Asia Pacific to reduce participation by its employees on boards of directors of companies whose shares are publicly traded.

"We are very excited to have Walter join our board, since he will bring with him a wealth of sales and operational experience, as well as high level customer contacts in key Asian markets," said Hong Chen, the Company`s Chairman. "At the same time, we are very appreciative of the service provided by Mark and Robert as board representatives of one of our long-time investors."

Following these changes, the Company indicated that its board consists of six directors. Previously, the Company announced that James Goodman, a member of Axcelerant`s board, together with a new independent director mutually agreed upon by GRIC and Axcelerant, would both become members of GRIC`s board following consummation of its merger with Axcelerant.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The following statements are based on current expectations and information available to us as of October 23, 2003; we do not undertake a duty to update them. This statement assumes the consummation of our planned acquisition of Axcelerant, Inc. effective December 1, 2003. Our ability to project future results is inherently uncertain. These statements are "forward-looking" and actual results may differ materially as a result of risks outlined below.


** The Company expects revenues in the range of $11.8 to $12.2 million for
the fourth quarter of 2003.

** The Company expects overall gross margins in the range of 56 to
58 percent for the fourth quarter of 2003.

** The Company expects to see operating expense levels
(Network & Operations, R&D and SG&A) in the range of $7.2 to
$7.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2003.


The statements by Bharat Dave and Kim Silverman, and the above statements contained in this business outlook section, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause such statements to be inaccurate, or that could cause the noted anticipated benefits and synergies of the GRIC-Axcelerant merger not to be realized, include: the possibility that the acquisition will not be completed, or that prior to the closing the businesses of the companies will suffer due to uncertainty about the acquisition; the failure of revenue or cost synergies related to the merger to materialize (for example due to difficulties in the integration of the two companies and their personnel, products and services that may result in loss of customer traction, customer cancellations or increased integration costs); the possibility that the market for the offerings of the combined company will not develop as rapidly as anticipated or in the direction anticipated, or that product or service launches will be delayed; or factors that could impact GRIC`s separate operations, including the risk factors listed from time to time in our most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q on file with the SEC and available through www.sec.gov.

GRIC REITERATES OUTLOOK PUBLICATION PROCEDURES

Following the publication of its quarterly earnings release, GRIC will continue its practice of having company representatives meet privately with investors, the media, investment analysts and others. At these meetings GRIC may reiterate the outlook published in the earnings release. At the same time, GRIC will keep its earnings release and outlook publicly available on its Web site (www.gric.com). Prior to the start of the Quiet Period described below, the public can continue to rely on the outlook on the Web site as still being GRIC`s current expectations on matters covered, unless GRIC publishes a notice stating otherwise.

Towards the end of each fiscal quarter, GRIC will observe a Quiet Period when it no longer publishes or updates information about GRIC`s current expectations. During the Quiet Period GRIC representatives will not comment concerning outlook or GRIC`s financial results or expectations. The Quiet Period will extend until the day when GRIC`s next quarterly earnings release is published. For the fourth quarter, the Quiet Period will be December 15, 2003 through January 29, 2004.

Tolle News bei GRIC

Vorbörslich ca. 15 Prozent im Plus

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/031229/sfm014a_1.html

[benefactor [KommA]]

So schlimm waren die Zahlen doch gar nicht.

[benefactor [KommA]]

Ich habe mir heute ein paar Tausend gekauft zu $1.74.

[M.J.Fox]

Beim letzten mal im Januar fand ich die Zahlen auch nicht so schlimm. Trotzdem war das der Anfang vom Ende. Jetzt fand ich die Zahlen allerdings nicht so toll. In absoluten Zahlen hat sich der Verlust im Vergleich zum Vorjahr mehr als vervierfacht. Aber weil die Anzahl der Aktien ungefähr verdoppelt wurde, ist der Verlust nur von 0,03 Ct auf 0,07 Ct je Aktie gestiegen. Und bei so einem Verprügeln der Aktie sieht der Gesamtmarkt wohl keine Möglichkeit der Besserung. Ich würde jedenfalls jetzt nicht einsteigen wollen.

[benefactor [KommA]]

GRIC hat keine Schulden und genug Cash. Selbst wenn die Zahlen weiterhin so schlecht sind kann GRIC noch ein paar Jahre weitermachen.

[benefactor [KommA]]

[cineman]

kann nur sagen das das Gap auf kurz oder lang geschlossen wird.
Also EINSTEIGEN 50 % sind allemal drin. Der Wert ist auch relativ gut.

cineman

[JuanLesPins]

Welches Gap?

Das zwischen 2 und 3 $?

Oder das zwischen 4,50 und 5,50 $?

Und was machen die Gauner? Die kaufen wie die Weltmeister!
Im Level II immer auf der Bid Seite.

[M.J.Fox]

Gestern sah es nach langer Zeit ja mal wieder etwas freundlicher aus. Ich hoffe, es bleibt.

Seit einigen Tagen bekomme ich über comdirect nur noch den Kurs von der Nasdaq. Wird die Aktie in Deutschland nicht mehr
gehandelt ? Warum nicht ? Kann ich denn jetzt meine in Deutschland erworbenen Papiere auch in Amerika verkaufen (natürlich zu deutlich höheren Kosten)?

Gruß

[JuanLesPins]

Michael,

Du musst Deine Bank (wahrscheinlich schriftlich) bitten, Deine Wertpapiere "umzulagern", sodass Du sie in Amiland handeln kannst. Bei gric sehe ich dass nicht als Nachteil.

1. Werden sie hier ohnehin nicht mehr gehandelt und
2. vorher konntest Du sie hier (theoretisch) handeln, aber es waren keine Umsätze da.

Ps:
Habe keine gric in meinem Depot. Habe aber ebenfalls zwei andere Maukenwerte "umlagern" müssen.

Pps:
Kaufe an unseren Börsen nur Werte, die umfangreiche Umsätze garantieren, sonst hast Du immer wieder dasgleiche Problem. Ansonsten an Heimatbörsen handeln.

Grüße

[M.J.Fox]

Hallo Juan,

danke für Deine schnelle Antwort.
