Daniel, I lost a bunch in ASND, too. So I know the feeling. PAIR is getting a nice bounce (but maybe not like a White House intern), as you know, from the high speed Net access deal between MSFT, CPQ etc. I don't know the other companies, but I can put 'em to the earnings revision test if you would like. As for TA, I know a little, but I am curious. Most people on Wall Street (who of course have everything wrong, according to SI folklore) use TA ONLY to decide an entry point, after having already decided to buy a stock for fundamental reasons. Personally, I have never seen it do much more than sharpen hindsight, in practice. But some of the volume and price movement patterns reappear constantly, and once in awhile even point to where a stock actually does end up going. Leo is pretty good with the TA, and he might be able to point you to some sites on the Web. The classical text, I believe, is "Technical Analysis Explained." Why do you keep saying you are not a youngster? Nobody cares, and you are always as young as you feel, anyway. Right Leo? Happy Investing! Vanni

Daniel, I just had a look. CPU (assuming you meant CompUSA) looks good. But INDV and INVX look mixed to weak. INVX does have a nice PEG ratio, though. A pe of about 8 against a long-term growth rate of 20. That's not bad at all. Though in and of itself, it won't make a stock go anywhere. Just brings it up on a lot of value screens. Happy Investing!

Daniel, I am really surprised at the complacency over the racist overtones in the Creaf thread, where a lot of people just basically said, "Oh well, they are analysts in Singapore, which means they can't understand the business model and are irrelevent." I mean, how would you have reacted if someone said, hypothetically, "Oh well, they are just a bunch of Jewish bankers, and you know you can't trust them." I am just proposing that hypothetically, of course, and I don't really believe that. Wouldn't anybody find that offensive? The Singapore analysts were simply dismissed for being from Singapore. There was one lame attempt to explain that away through geography by saying, "yes, but Creaf is a NASDAQ stock and they are in Singapore." But the same person just minutes before was arguing that Creaf was a Singapore-based stock, so he was fairly befuddled in his reasoning. Besides, in this age of global markets, that doesn't make any sense anyway. Happy Investing! Vanni
