SF has been watching STRX, but waiting to see where these rate wars shake out over the short term. SF noticed in something posted here yesterday that their margin problems last quarter were largely the result of international wholesale price wars. SF wondering if international price wars have accelerated further than SF thought. FWIW, SF $35 or better year-end trio...CUBE, NOVL, ALA. NOVL may be a couple months later depending on what they have to say next week. sf
