It looks like bad timing. Applied Films is down 9% this morning. I think that in this market, you can afford to be picky and only buy companies that have a profitable history. There doesn’t seem to much interest here, so send any comments over to the AFCO thread. Why speculate when so many good companies are available cheap? You can triple your money in the next year in Safeway or Kroger, so that’s a better bet for people who don’t have the time to research tech stocks in complex businesses. I live in a city of 120,000 people, and Wal-Mart’s competitors are now reacting by starting the development process earlier. It took Wal-Mart 4 years to complete the process for their supermarket, so I think the others learned a lesson. Most people don’t see a lot of difference between supermarkets, so they buy food at the closest location. I think Wal-Mart’s market share gains will stop soon because competitors are now anticipating population growth as early as Wal-Mart.
