Many stocks are reporting after the close today. AMZN, SEBL, ITWO, and GTW. One gentlemen who seems to be a very astute and successful day-trader is going to short Gateway ahead of earnings. I haven't heard the stock discussed on this thread. Is a box maker worth a P/E of 50? Some say it's up on takeover rumors. Otherwise, it seems a little pricey to me. I think they are opening retail stores, which should reduce their margins. The competition from $800 computers can't help, either. I don't think I'd short it, but I'm curious what others think.
