I sold most of my SLAM @ $ 13.625 or better by yesteday. I'm still holding just under 1/4 of my orignial position. I'm looking to buy back on deep dips, or to hold what I have for more money.

I'm not a bear, but here's what I know of the "bear story" First, you have a high multiple. While the price/sales ratio is low, and the PEG ratio is low, the PE is high. Also, a lot of competition is supposedly moving into this sector. I don't see it yet, but that's the story. Also, some people feel that the focus on the lower end customer is a negative. I don't agree with this, but that's another argument. I'm still bullish on SLAM. It will take a while for this to recover, but I think it will. I actually thought the down-draft after the announcement was excessive, but I don't waste my time/breath arguing or worrying about over-reactions. In time, the cream rises to the top, and I think this one will also. sds
