If that theory of moving the erns report to after the close because they will be missing estimates, why didn't they move it in past quarters when they missed it? Doesn't make sense. Maybe Randy is springing a trap this time. By announcing a positive erns surprise AFTER the bell , we could see some frenetic (sp?) interest at tomorrow's opening bell. Hope so :~) -Buzz P.S. As to my specualtion from last week of news to be released on Friday, I knew the Senate bill was coming and was taking a gamble that it would spell out that some of it would be heading to FAA for O'Hare-type projects. We'll see in due time I guess. Never was good at hype anyway. ;~)

IDXR, I'm in the middle of the road. I'm debating putting this puppy on the shelf for a couple years and then dusting it off and seeing what i've got versus dumping now for a very quick yet relatively modest gain. If I want to marry a stock it'll be one with a much better performance history and have a drip plan. I suspect at some point in time that IDX will sustain an upward trend but the timing of that is pretty much guess work. I think it was on Schwab that is showing 5 year growth estimate ranging from 35 - 60%. I don't think either end is anything to frown at but it leads me to think this stock may remain rather volatile for some. I don't have the numbers in front of me but the annual high/low for the last three years is pretty consistant if i recall correctly. Maybe it's two years don't have time to look. What I really kick myself for is not going long at the open when randy was on cnbc and dumping it all before powerlunch was even on. Oh well, no use being tormented by hindsight. haha Regardless of whether I sell or hold I too hope they beat the estimates. David PS: I was holding a stock last year that missed estimates and the stock did indeed go up after the CC.
