TRIB. I don't know expected vs. actual quarterly earnings. This thing - like some others in the sector, doesn't seem to trade on multiple of earnings. (By trade, I mean here "evaluated by the marketplace"). Maybe it should trade on earnings, I don't know. I'm buying for a couple of reasons: 1. Sells now at a low p/bk and low p/sales. 2. Company is doing something odd, and maybe positive, imo: They are going to give away their product: biz.yahoo.com (Well, they SAY they are going to do this. Whether they DO or not, I don't know.) Perhaps it's just a marketing ploy or a way to get noticed. I could be cynical! OTOH, the use of the product by people who might not get access otherwise could possibly help save lives. And if the company is really, really hurting and didn't believe that their employees serve some higher interest than in just grubbing out profits, maybe they would not be doing this. So I will back their confidence with my stock purchases. I could be very wrong here - I'd not be surprised.
