I swapped my ATN for NLS yesterday when it dropped hard. I wonder how often analysts set up companies to fail by projecting continued strong growth such as the 20% for NLS. The growth mostly came from the acuisitions of stairmaster and Schwinn fitness centers, which is the way most companies grow. In this economy staying flat for a year or so is a lot better than a decline, but the question is whether the company had input on those growth figures or were analysts giving them a target they couldn't keep hitting and then the firms shorting them???? Possible? Bruce
