Hi, Uluru! I suspect that all the SFA'ers are just treading water for while. As noted in previous posts, this is a 'show-me' stock so, until all the recent good news is actually reflected in solid EPS numbers or the next 'guru' upgrades or a bolt out of the blue (i.e. takeover rumours, huge new sales contract and the like), we'll probably be trading in a narrow range till August. 4th Q and FY98 earnings are to be announced August 6th. First Call EPS for the 4th Q are $0.25 and for the Fiscal Year $0.86 The consensus estimate for FY99 is currently $1.10 IMHO, the 4th Q est. is a bit light so we may see a surprise on the upside. More interestingly, the First Call estimate for 1st Q 99 is lower than 4th Q 98 ( $0.23 vs. $0.25 )...why that is, I cannot fathom. Good luck investing, Wolf
