Sergio - You're very well informed ! The insider selling appears to be related to the expiry of stock options and real long-termers taking some profits (especially in the face of the downgrades). All of the senior management retain significant positions. The first downgrade occured at $30 which was Prudential's sell point (Note $30 is $27 post 10% stock div). The other downgrades occured during the erosion in crude oil pricing, which has hit everything in the oil & gas sector. I also agree that it would be risky to make predictions in the face of the imminent earnings announcement. However, SFY fundamentals look good, and I'm very comfortable with this as a long term play. The sector will be due a rebound at some point; SFY are growing consistantly quicker than most companies in the sector; and the MA's on the graph are just amazing. However, I'm not sure I see the price establishing a base yet, so it's difficult to know whether we've hit the bottom yet. Thanks for your comments, if you wanted to share any further thoughts I'd appreciate it. Mark

INEL... A Turnaround... Sergio and All: I took an initial position in INEL (Intelligent Electronics) today... MoneyFlow is positive... MACD and Price Rate of Change and Relative Strength are positive.... It is early in its breakout... INEL sold off its unprofitable divisions... So, a Revenue comparison analysis is not appropriate... On an operating profit basis the turnaround is evident... iqc.com dailystocks.net biz.yahoo.com biz.yahoo.com Jim
