James - I doubt that we will see the kind of runnup that we have seen in the past. IMHO, the runnups were anticipating the "start" of WIND's "blowout" quarters, when earnings are accelerating. But those who have followed this company for some time know that Ron will do all possible to avoid that scenario [i.e, very conservative accounting of contract and other revenue, delaying shipping at quarter's end, etc.]. I think that the traders/momentum guys are tired of waiting, and or realizing that it probably won't happen. I do hope that some of the selling was in anticipation of slower earnings growth and therefore a repricing of the shares. Reporting 17 cent will give a trailing PE of about 48 based on Friday's close (excluding last quarters acquisition charges). I hope that the report and the conference call will kick start some life into the stock and move it slowly upward... CArolyn
