virgil, We are about seven weeks past mid-October, the main period of earnings releases, and closing in on mid-January, which will be release time for earnings again... CREAF is listed as "oversold" by Market Edge, the technical service that I use, and still is in an accumulative phase, although the up/down indicator slipped a bit from 1.2 "up" to 1.0 "up"......... Question for those in the know- how much of CREAF's components are manufactured directly by CREAF; how much by third parties; and the $64 dollar question- are these manufacturers located in Asian countries where currencies have been devalued. I do not want to make a rash statement that the Asian crisis will actually benefit CREAF, but I have the feeling that any lost sales in Asia may at least be partially offset by lower costs for Asian-manufactured components. I have found this "offset effect" to be at least partially true for ECM's who have operations based in Asia.... Sincerely, Doug F.
