Couldn't hurt to sell short term and get back in in 30 days... Although I don't know if they will announce quarter revenue before actual quarter like they did last quarter... You may get caught...
I'm more concerned with something I hadn't seen although there must be an explanation for it...

</TABLE>
cost of sales is alarmingly high leaving only 14 thousand margin after 359,000 in sales.
That is a 3.8% margin before all other costs ...
I don't know if they are including marketing and trade shows in that number or what ... I hope so. usually marketing is costed out seperately with other costs... |
