Damien, Have you noticed the hype on the yahoo thread for this company? <SARCASM> First there were internet retailers, then came linux, now it's B2B. For the sophisticated shopper it's B2B and XML. Remember perception is reality (especially for stocks). It seems likely that the actual numbers for Q4 will be fairly lousy. Let's hope they don't, god forbid, show a profit. Potential is everything these days. If you have earnings then you have a PE. Having a PE can be scary. If you are into companies that have profits (earnings) look at BERKSHIRE CL A (see chart finance.yahoo.com ) Throw fundamentals out the door. This is a new age, everything goes up! </SARCASM> I read somewhere the TokyoMex likes this one. I've mixed feelings about that. I've been in this stock for a long time, shortly after it IPO'd. If it goes to 30 I will sell a few shares to cover my initial investment. If it goes to thirty before the actual numbers come out then shorting sounds like a good possibility. If Raging Bull (RB) starts filling up with hype that will be a good sell signal as well. Regards Tom

Damien... >>If this gets to 30, it could be a good short trade!<< If ODIS gets to 30 I will have felt that I have died and gone to heaven!! I never read the Yahoo boards as they tend to be quite shallow. On the other hand, once in awhile I suspect that they do have some good stuff there. I don't see the hype except for the general XML stuff. No one is plugging it on the SI boards. do you mean hype from yahoo boards? In any event Happy New Year, New Century, New Millenneum to All.
