Hi MellB; Today, at about 11AM, RGFX did a textbook panic bottom: tscn.com (Included links good only for April 6-15th.) My experience is that these sorts of bottoms are indicative of fundamental players buying into a stock, and that RGFX is unlikely to go lower except in a general market conflagration (which is possible) or more bad news.
Regarding bad news, I think that the new management has probably minimized earnings for previous quarters in order to maximize the earnings comparison with the quarters that apply to them. I'm sure you've seen management do this before - take the largest loss you can, and get it all into one quarter. So I'm not particularly worried about bad news.
All the industrial printer makers are making new 52-week lows right now. I think RGFX is the most reasonably priced of them all. Look at the Price/Sales for the other guys: tscn.com tscn.com tscn.com
I would much rather be holding RGFX than any of the above. Note the lack of a panic bottom anywhere in the PRST chart. It is my guess that PRST will fall well into single digits before it finally bottoms. Also note the action in ENCD at the close. They are going to be spanked tomorrow in my opinion, and this could drift over into RGFX.
I'm getting ready to start day trading, unfortunately I am in demo (i.e. paper) trading mode right now. But I watched these stocks today closely. (In demo, I nailed the panic bottom on RGFX, and shorted PRST for a point. Hope I can do as well live. :)
Other than the market as a whole looking toppy, and my need for cash, I would add to my position in RGFX, which I am still holding. I think now is a good time to add to a position, with the expectation of a return to at least $1.80, and more probably $2 within the next week barring another nasdaq collapse.
