I felt like CNBC was adding too much uncertainty into LAB. As a result, I switched strategies and made a just-before-the-bell decision to sell all and put my money into NTOP, which ends its quiet period early next week. Check this, it's new: nbc.com I believe NTOP, due to anticipation of analyst recommendations, has explosive upward movement capability. I've a feeling--gut feeling only, I could be wrong--LAB will stay somewhat flat until after the feds meet Tuesday. But my trigger is ready and I'm set to jump back into LAB--it tops my radar watch!

I just checked out the LAB website and the SEC info on Yahoo and can't believe this stock is selling for 13. According to info sent to SEC They have 284 stocks representing 14.2% of the dollar volume of the common stock on the NYSE. Total annual share volume is 20 billion,with concurrent total annual growth of the volume being 55.4%.Total annual growth of revenues is 43.4%, current PE is around 19. If anyone is out there I'd like to hear Your opinion re LAB.
