Along with Staples, Office Depot, et al downgrades and downdrafts is MCSC, Miami Computer Supply Corp, which is tanking with the sector despite spectacular growth and accretive acqusitions. I've invested in SPLS, MCSC, IKN and done very badly indeed. Really thought that selling office supplies in this environment would be like shooting fish in barrel. Trouble is that sales and profits aren't the same.

Gotta admit, though, that MCSC intrigues me. It's in my home town and I've read about it for a few years. Specializes in smaller office sales and niche in computer projector equipment, conferencing.
