GPS Insight has been growing rapidly since it was established in 2005. The company supplies fleet-based customers with GPS tracking, navigation, and messaging technology.

"GPS Insight was founded at the right time, with the right people and the right technology to satisfy the increasing GPS tracking needs of the fleet community," said CEO and founder Robert Donat.

Also spurring the search for "GPS tracking" is a recent ruling from the the U.S. Court of Appeals. It is now legal for the government to monitor and track anyone without a search warrant. This rule applies in California, Oregon and seven other Western states.


"Identity theft" is a hot search topic on Yahoo!(YHOO) today as people continue to be concerned with the growing problem. The Federal Trade Commission estimates that at least 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year.

In 2008 the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act required that all institutions and creditors with covered accounts put Red Flags Rules in place to help identify, detect, and respond to any activities that could indicate identity theft.

The chatter on Main Street (a.k.a. Google) is always of interest to investors on Wall Street. Thus, each day, TheStreet compiles the stories that are trending on Google, and highlights the news that could make stocks move.
