Chartanalyse (die als Entscheidungshilfe, keinesfalls jedoch als Empfehlung dienen sollte!)



1) Widerstands- bzw. Unterstützungslinien

Für den Zeitraum von Mitte Januar bis Mitte Februar 2000 sind zwei Linien sehr gut erkennbar. Zum einen die Unterstützungslinie (1), die bei ca. 30$ liegt, zum anderen die Widerstandslinie (2) bei ca. 42$. Diese Widerstandslinie konnte auch im zweiten Anlauf Anfang Februar nicht durchbrochen werden. Der Kurs fiel an die untere Linie des Trendkanals (zwei rote Pfeile) zurück.

2) MACD, Stochastik und das Momentum

Mitte Januar gab der MACD-Indikator ein kräftiges, positives Zeichen, als genau auf der Null-Linie ein „Crossover“ stattfand. (verbunden mit einem 110% Anstieg an einem Tag). Der Kurs war vorher genau an der unteren Linie des Trendkanals. Durch die zu diesem Zeitpunkt etwas übersteigerte Hysterie bezüglich der WAP-Technologie (Lizenz), geriet der Kurs stark ins Überzogene und korrigierte später wieder in den Trendkanal.
Hier bestätigte sich die 30$-Linie erneut als starke Unterstützung, auch der positive Trend (roter Pfeil senkrecht nach oben) bestätigte sich ein zweites Mal.
Diese Bestätigung genügte jedoch nicht, um den Kurs über die 42$-Linie (2) zu heben.
Ein Seitwärtstrend konnte durch den Kursanstieg von 5,50% auf 34,75$ meiner Meinung nach gut abgewendet werden.
Die Stochastik liefert uns ein „oversold“-Zeichen ,da sie sich unter der Marke von 20 befindet (violetter Kreis) und sollte diesmal einen Schub über die Widerstandslinie (42$) ermöglichen. Das Momentum bewegt sich seit einigen Tagen ebenfalls vom negativen in den positiven Bereich. (violetter Pfeil)

Wie man leicht erkennen kann, verläuft der Kurs sehr gut zwischen den beiden roten Pfeilen konstant nach oben und bewegt sich mit einer Ausnahme innerhalb des Trendkanals. Der Kursanstieg gestern könnte der Auftakt zum Durchbrechen der Widerstandslinie sein, womit wieder Spielraum für neue Höhen dieses soliden Wachstumswerts frei wäre.

Hallo an alle,

Hier ein Artikel über die genauen Beträge, die GWRX als WAP-Lizenzgebühr verlangen will.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2000 1:19 AM
- CMP Media

Feb. 18, 2000 (LTH - CMP via COMTEX) -- This month`s WAP Forum meeting in Rome should have been a veritable Bacchanalia. There`s lots to celebrate: The group`s Wireless Application Protocol is poised to be the standard for a new world of mobile Internet connections. Interoperability testing is beginning. Projections for the growth of the wireless Web are skyrocketing.

Geoworks` licensing plan charges service providers, handset manufacturers, application developers, content providers and any other company using WAP $20,000 a year, although Geoworks will not charge companies with less than $1 million in annual revenue. Server manufacturers would also be charged 10 percent of the hardware cost, or a minimum royalty of $1 for each user or product including the software. Geoworks` intellectual property is patented in the United States and Japan only.

WAP Forum Chairman Gregory Williams opened the Rome meeting by dismissing the Geoworks announcement as "just a distraction." He nevertheless felt the need to point out to the membership that Geoworks was not violating any WAP Forum rule. All members have a right to levy fair licensing fees, he said, adding that any disputes over the level of the fees would be settled by binding arbitration outside of the forum.

TOSHIBA IS FIRST LICENSEE OF GEOWORKS PATENTED WAP TECHNOLOGY WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS GIANT LEADS INDUSTRY RECOGNITION OF GEOWORKS

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2000 6:00 AM
- PRNewswire

ALAMEDA, Calif., Feb 22, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Geoworks Corporation (Nasdaq:GWRX), a pioneer in wireless data communications services and technologies, today announced that Toshiba Corporation is the first to finalize a licensing agreement for Geoworks` patented flexible user interface (Flex UI) technology. Flex UI technology is an essential element of the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), the emerging global standard for mobile communications. Geoworks has licensed its patented technology to Toshiba for use in a series of handset devices.

"Toshiba joined our licensing program very shortly after it was announced, demonstrating that Geoworks` licensing structure is well-received by one of the leaders in the wireless communications industry," said Don Ezzell, General Counsel of Geoworks Corporation. "Leveraging our technology, Toshiba can significantly advance the emerging market for WAP-enabled products and the realization of a single, open standard for mobile devices."

About Geoworks Flex UI Licensing Program Developed in accordance with the WAP Forum`s guidelines on asserting Intellectual Property Rights for WAP and WML, Geoworks` licensing structure is designed to foster the growth of emerging WAP markets and provide its technology through standard industry practices. Geoworks informed all WAP Forum members in January that its patented technology is employed as an essential component of the WAP standard.

Erstmal: Dank für den Zuspruch!

Wichtig wäre heute auf jeden Fall, dass die Widerstandslinie (42$) durchbrochen wird. Derzeit schwankt der Kurs um 41$ (+23%), die Linie ist also selbst bei dem Ausbruch nich so leicht "zu knacken".

[Lindwurm]

Hallo an alle,

Nun, ein toller Tag heute, GWRX hat mit +26,44% abgeschnitten knapp über der Widerstandslinie (42$) bei 42,4375$.
Demnach der WAP-Lizenzenverkauf heute mit Toshiba als erstem Lizenznehmer heute begonnen hat, dürften in den nächsten Tagen auch neue "Kunden" dazukommen.
Wenn der Gesamtindex mal wieder besser abschneidet, wird es vielleicht noch diese Woche neue Höchststände bei GWRX geben.

Hallo Lindwurm.

Was meinst Du zu der Reaktion von Nokia und Phone.com ? Die scheinen
sich ja heftig zu wehren gegen das Patent.
Auf dem Ami Boards sorgt das für heisse Köpfe. Mich würde Deine Meinung dazu interessieren. Ist noch potential nach oben, oder fällt GWRX in sich zusammen ?

Hallo sierre,

Ich poste hier mal einen Auszug aus dem WAP-Forum:

Licensing Fees Crash WAP Party -- Developers Foresee A Setback To The Wireless Web
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2000 1:19 AM
- CMP Media

But a funny thing happened on the way to the forum. Geoworks Corp. (Alameda, Calif.) broke ranks with its WAP Forum partners just weeks before the event and announced plans to charge almost every company deploying WAP services in the United States and Japan for its patented technology. It was all the WAP community could talk about: How much damage would this added cost do to the fledgling platform? And how many more licensing fees were coming from other technology companies?

By leveling licensing fees so widely-and so early in WAP`s deployment-Geoworks may be stifling the standard`s attraction as a platform for new applications and services, according to some forum members. "It is a mistake, from the business end, to try and charge content deliverers. It is contrary to the way the Internet evolved," says Chuck Parrish, WAP Forum vice chairman and executive vice president at Phone.com Inc. (Redwood City, Calif.).

Geoworks may only be the first WAP Forum member to set pricing for its intellectual property rights (IPR), which it claims to be at the heart of WAP software.

Other, larger companies in the WAP Forum have also laid claim to IPR on WAP technology. Among them: Motorola Inc., NEC (Tokyo) and Nokia OY (Espoo, Finland). But so far, they have remained quiet about any charges they may choose to levy-letting the market develop first. Their fear is that crucial content providers and application developers may be scared off creating WAP services if they realize they are built around technology that comes with licensing fees.

Geoworks` announcement reminded a whole raft of companies looking to offer WAP services that the protocol, unlike the basic technology of the World Wide Web, belongs to a number of companies. Any one of these companies may levy additional fees further down the line.

Fear of multiple WAP licensing fees could even create enough impetus for a different technology to emerge, some WAP Forum members say. Pixo Inc. (Cupertino, Calif.), for instance, has been developing a microbrowser that uses either WAP or standard hypertext markup language (HTML) technology. The company says it is waiting to see how larger WAP Forum members such as Nokia look to resolve the Geoworks claim. "If the [licensing] issue is not resolved, we have HTML options. We know we are not going to get HTML license fees down the road," says Rich Rifredi, vice president of marketing at Pixo.

WAP Forum Chairman Gregory Williams opened the Rome meeting by dismissing the Geoworks announcement as "just a distraction." He nevertheless felt the need to point out to the membership that Geoworks was not violating any WAP Forum rule. All members have a right to levy fair licensing fees, he said, adding that any disputes over the level of the fees would be settled by binding arbitration outside of the forum.

Much of the concern voiced over Geoworks` licensing plans stems from Internet companies with little experience of IPR licensing, says Williams, who is also vice president of wireless systems at SBC Communications Inc. "The licensing process is understood and proven in the telecom world. But the convergence of telecommunications and the Internet space creates voids in information, which I think exacerbates issues," he says.

As the ultimate cost of this kind of licensing is debated, Nokia and Phone.com are also said to have started investigations into the validity of Geoworks` license claims. Even if those claims go unchallenged, arbitration looks likely if the various members cannot agree to the terms of Geoworks` licensing structure.

Ad Geoworks:

Du siehst, die Pläne von Geoworks wirbeln einigen Staub auf und stossen nicht bei allen auf Billigung. Nur glaube ich, dass GWRX eben die ersten sind, die Lizenzgebühren verlangen und andere eben mit Gebühren folgen werden. (Diese Art der Einnahmequelle wird wohl keiner ablehnen!).

Spannend war bis zuletzt, ob eine Firma bereit sein wird, Gebühren zu entrichten. Mit dem Vorstoss von Toshiba dürfte die Frage wohl geklärt sein. Prägend für den Kursverlauf wird also sein, wer als nächste Lizenznehmer von GWRX auftreten werden.

WIRELESS INTERNET & MOBILE COMPUTING:

Wireless Internet & Mobile Computing to analyze wireless e-commerce, wireless web entrepreneurs at CTIA`s Wireless 2000 annual conference in New Orleans; Pioneering consulting firm joins Amazon, IBM, Fidelity and Geoworks.


MONDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2000 1:29 PM
- M2 Communications

FEB 28, 2000, M2 Communications - NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana -- Wireless Internet & Mobile Computing, the pioneering wireless Internet and e-commerce consulting firm, will examine the market dynamics of wireless e-commerce during the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association`s (CTIA) Wireless 2000 annual conference here.

Alan A. Reiter, president of the consulting firm, will analyze wireless e-commerce with representatives of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), IBM (NYSE:IBM), Fidelity Personal Investments and Geoworks (NASDAQ:GWRX) during the "Making eBusiness Work for Wireless" panel, February 29, 3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m., at the New Orleans convention center.

Reiter will discuss Wireless Internet & Mobile Computing`s analysis of key conditions that will be vital to the success of wireless e-commerce on a global scale. These conditions include:

* Smart, synergistic data rather than individual content offerings that don`t related to each other,

* Transactional services that enable subscribers to "do something" (such as transfer bank funds and purchase tickets) rather than static services,

* Efficient applications that provide useful services with today`s data rates rather than relying on tomorrow`s faster speeds,

* Pricing designed to jump-start the market for wireless Internet rather than penalizing early adopters,

* Aggressive, public beta testing of new services rather than simply introducing "perfect" services and

* Increased focus on the youth market rather than emphasizing the mobile professional.

"Too many wireless operators and content providers - especially in the United States - don`t understand the new economics of and the realities of creating innovative applications for the wireless Internet and wireless e-commerce market," says Reiter.

"The ability to comparison shop, purchase goods and services, analyze competitors and personalize wireless devices with musical tones and graphics - in real time - will, without exaggeration, revolutionize wireless communications and business processes around the world," Reiter says.

Wireless Industry & Mobile Computing reports that even in countries that are far ahead of the U.S., such as Japan, Finland, Sweden and the Czech Republic, the effects of wireless Internet and wireless e-commerce are only beginning to be felt.

The Washington, D.C. area consulting firm notes that within several years the combination of faster wireless networks, more ergonomic wireless data devices, thousands of "smarter" applications and the entry of Web-savvy and consumer-savvy retailers and content providers will generate billions of dollars in additional revenues and spawn businesses that don`t yet exist.
