I'm starting to follow FTL VERY closely for a bottom. I hope no one minds if i post news articles about this company on this thread as they come out/noticed. It's very quiet and that's what i like --it's being abandoned and even when signs start to show up of a recovery, it may not be reflected by the market (which gives time to enter or add a position). I'm not saying it's a bottom now, but it may very well be. It's something to watch for. FTL: 4 1/4 @ 11:11 ET; 52 wk low-high: 3 1/4 (9/9/1999) - 22 7/16 (9/9/1998). (Notice 52 wk high date, which should be $19 YTD.) Disclosure: I have no position in the stock, but as you can tell, it may not be for long. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN DD.
