Why isn't ODIS holding above 8? It is frustrating to see that the stock went above 8 1/2 only to see the momentum fizzle. We are back at below 8, despite the decent earnings. Looks like MSFT is the only stock I need in my portfolio :-(

I read a lot of threads where anyone who disagrees with the consensus is demonized and subject to personal abuse. Those threads are not terribly productive. I guess we all know that for some reason ahhhaa doesn't like Bob Goldman, but to give him his due, he hasn't been ramming this down our throats every day (or even every week). I disagree with ahhaa on quite a few points, but some of the best stimulation I get on this thread comes from ahhaha and Mark Finger when they point out aletrnative views and then discuss them rationally. So far, the only personal abuse on this thread has been directed at ODIS management (by you know who!). I think it is a backward step if the "believers" start abusing anyone with an alternative view. So what if ahhaha or someone else starts shorting shares? There have to be buyers and sellers in a healthy market. Companies like DDIM and ACLY have been great shorts, and they had threads that were full of personal abuse. That is a diagonostic sign to a short-seller that longs are not prepared to rationally discuss the issues. ODIS is an investment, not a religion!
