<<offtopic>> RATL looks delectable from an insider perspective. There is so much buying that one can only conclude that at $9 the company is incredibly undervalued by the market. I will buy at $10+ on a dip. Fundamentally, I still don't know anything about the market for their products. But I don't see any reason it would not be acquired, IMHO. Growth is good; products seem unique...who knows? OLGC looks good from an insider perspective also. I would be happier if I saw some nonqualified options being exercised. I will buy a little more than the usual amount to start -- 1000 shares should work and allow me to average into a pullback to the $5 area. Fundamentally, OLGC appears to have a marketing problem and a problem digesting recent acquisitions. Management seems confident that it can work through this. That conference call referred to on the thread was likely a disaster because investors are tired of waiting, and management does not want to falsely raise hopes. In many ways this stock, IMHO, resembles IDTI: it had a big run up followed by a crash and a very nice basing pattern; management has had some problems with investments and costs; management is looking to new products. It's worth a gamble here. Brief review of finc. state. 1) Debt level is low. 2) Accounts payable way way too low relative to sales and acct. rec. This could be a permanent source of cash flow? 3) Trotter has a nice bonus compensation plan allowing for purchase of around half a million shares at later dates at present prices. 4) Book value of $3.3 5) Institutional investors increased positions as of 9/97 (stocksmart) Jackson
