Sergio, <guest amigo joe> Hope Joe does a better job than I did :-) ORBT down even more today. Now trading just over 9 times earnings. It seems that the market is interested only in what is hot and what is not. Thus far those stocks that I have brought here PRIOR to the rise in price have yielded a 29% return (EGGS, GTNR, PFINA, HOEN, CCAR, RDNK, ICOR, KRHC, MDIX) Those that I have bought that have the fundies to back them (ATPX, AIRM, APCO, PURW, CADE, ROIX, ORBT) have yielded an 8% loss over the same period. hmmmmm which way to go? I'm not trying to downgrade the fundies Sergio. I know that in TIME these stocks will pay off and I do not fault the companies or the Amigos, but the emotions of buyers and sellers is what obviously is driving the present market. It is very difficult to sit on a sound stock that keeps inching its way lower and lower when one sees the wild and profitable moves that some of these outragous stocks are making. Agreed that those stocks that are brought here, after the fact, are upsetting, due to the "look at me" attitude. I post here very little now due just to that fact, as I do not want to be included in that group. regards Ken W

Sergio and thread I have decided to offer up SOS Staffing Services, Inc. (SOSS). SOSS is an independent regional provider of staffing and consulting services, including light industrial, clerical, technical, specialty and other professional services operating through a network of more than 140 offices located throughout western United States. SOSS was one of the twelve companies to present there stories to the public on May 8th in Scottsdale Arizona at the Red Chip review investors conference.SOS Staffing (Nasdaq: SOSS - news) RED CHIP Rating: A SOSS, a temporary staffing company focusing on the light industrial, clerical, and ''hot'' information technology sector, has grown at a 31% compound annual rate over the last four years. SOSS is expanding nationwide through an aggressive acquisition strategy as well as internal growth, which continues at a 20% rate. Visit its Web site at www.sosstaffing.com. This is when I became interested in SOSS and recent developments within the company have made it more attractive. May 26th they announced they have acquired two companies specializing in information technology(IT). biz.yahoo.com May 27th coverage initiated by Pain Webber with a buy rating. There are four other brokers all with strong buy ratings. July 9th announced it has completed the acquisition of Neosoft, Inc. expanding it's specialized IT services. biz.yahoo.com I like the way the company is posturing itself in the IT area as I feel this is a rapidly expanding area. I also feel management has focus and is moving the company forward. There is large institutional and insider holdings. I do not see any major problems with the balance sheet. And as for the numbers www4.edgar-online.com www4.edgar-online.com www4.edgar-online.com biz.yahoo.com This is of course not a recommendation to buy this stock it is just one mans view and a starting point for anyone who may be interested in researching the company.
