BOST.. earnings coming out Tuesday. Disappointing earnings from same quarter a year ago. BOST is quite low and I don't know how much downside is left, but 32 cents last year versus -62 cents this quarter (516% decrease in earnings) can't help it too much. Earnings were also downgraded 3 weeks ago from -1.09 to -1.21. Holders of this stock might consider exiting and perhaps reentering after earnings come out.
