Myron, so far I've looked at GLUX and RIDL.

RIDL makes helmets for the NFL and other pro leagues. They are a holding co. for other sports lines, mostly for sale of sports equipment to
schools. Recent development include settlement of litigation and the acquisition of VARS in the summer. VARS is the leading supplier of
cheerleading and dance uniforms. They signed Paula Abdul to be the sokesperson for a national competition that they are sponsoring.
The contest hits St. Louis Feb. 7 th and I'd like to wait for Instock to report live before making a decision on this one as I don't see any compelling reason to buy RIDL right now.

GLUX on the other hand looks very interesting. This is a regional airline serving mostly Chicago O'Hare, Denver, Raleigh-Durham, and Minneapolis and Mexico. Federal investigators found tons of safety violations by this airline in May and the company voluntarily shut down. They cleaned the act up, got together some new management and key personel and I like what I see. They settled
a long standing contract problem with the Pilot's Union in Nov. and their load factor is up strongly for the last three months. Price looks good for this one right now. Alex Brown was providing coverage earlier this year and I do not think that they are at this time. Perhaps they will come back and take a fresh look at this company.
