Larry, Personally, I appreciate a forum where people can express their opininions both "positive" and "negative" on NN (or any other stock). I would guess that the majority of people on this thread are on the LONG side, and would love to see NN at $50. If I actually thought that just blowing sunshine up everyone's butt would push NN there I'd be first in line. DF

LARRY, CRISCO is TANKING this AM! Their QFiling states " they may not meet growth rates ". You can sell NN this AM LARRY and buy CRISCO cheap : already down to $92 this AM in pre-market activity from high 101. Started falling in Europe overnight. How the mighty have fallen!! Of course if Juniper and Sycamore continue to eat CRISCO's meals you could see CRISCO at 60. At $60/share, the best investment for CRISCO would be to buy one share of NN. So there you are LARRY: play it this way: Buy CRISCO cheap today.Wait till it falls to 60 for slowing growth and then you can buy back the NN share you sold this morning. The advantage of moving to CRISCO from NN is that you could more freely bash NN s since you would have all the CRISCO - CLONES supporting you, cheers TA PS Another potential reason for CRISCO falling would be a yet to be announced purchase of NN. :-)
