YIKES!
Just saw this post of Bob's...the news is out, they already missed. So that kind of lets you know it was a dumporama...no wonder it was so heavily traded.
So now we can look for the REAL bottom and buy it too hold on to. I doubt wev'e seen it yet, this was their first miss of estimates in YEARS. Probably retest September lows on the next really down day.
