Stan, thanks for pointing out that trade discrepancy. My after market data had it showing up as a sell and it had me concerned. I wasn't going to bring it up but thanks for setting the issue straight anyway. Hank

Stan: Agree with your take here Stan...possibility we have a short among us...hope we are wrong . The folks who might be short just might want to check out the CCSI post to see what happened to the people who took on one of Skipard's favorites...It was not a pretty site. Good luck this week to the longs !! Regards Irish.....very long Radaf

Wouldn't want to suppress contrarian views. I seem to recall another contrarian view prior to last earnings who took some heat, but turned out to be largely correct concerning Radaf's post earnings behavior. However, comes a point when one has to say if I had such concerns, I don't think I'ld be long. larry

Stan, nothing personal, but I happen to think all of the technical analysis you and others post on RADAF is a pile of voodoo crap, and absolutely worthless. :-) Having said that, I certainly think you should feel free to keep posting it, if it works for you and others. In the same vein, others (like me) prefer to try to fundamentally understand a company as much as we can, both the good and ESPECIALLY the bad, and analyze both the potential upside and the possible downside to an investment. We can then make our own decisions as to the merits of the risk/reward relationship and invest our assets accordingly. Just because you use a different investment strategy then we do doesn't mean that we are "short". I believe in "discussion", not "boosterism", but hey, that's just my style. Everyone has their own approach to investing. GO RADAF!! ;-) Dennis

Gary I don't remember who warned about the shorts getting on the thread writing about the negatives but my guess is we now have one. He dominates the talk on the negative while claiming to be a long. Its very natural to question the motives of a poster Stan. And its not my intention to cause you discomfort. But if you are an objective person and able to think for yourself then it doesn't matter if im short or long. As a long you should not be seeking out just the positive. And the shorts should not be seeking out just the negative. Both sides benefit most from an impartial and balanced view of the investment. What is this board good for if only positive info is discussed? It becomes a useful resources fo the shorts but it wont help those who are already long. To them is becomes very costly entertainment instead of a means of collaborative research. Many people on this board will be blind to the negative and will have very little to add of value. I will not be able to convince them to do otherwise. But the web mistress told me that there are 40 lurkers(not lunkers) for every poster on an SI thread. My hope by bringing some objectivity to this thread is that some of them will speak up and bring in a point of view that wasn't previously welcome. As an investor I do not like surprises. Many on this thread don't seem to believe there is any value in analysis that involves speculation of the future. We should just "wait an see" they say. But by the time the speculation becomes fact its already to late to act on it. Stock prices reflect the future expectations, not the present. I have spent the past few posts trying to convince some people of the relevance of Radica's competitive market environment. By the responses I guess I didn't do a very good job. But if anyone believes I am just making this stuff up then they needn't take my word for it. The CFO of my favorite company is gracious enough to post on these boards from time to time. And I know from first hand experience that they wont let you out of business school until you understand this stuff. Boy am I glad he is running the company and not the shareholders! Jon Bird
