Staying on-topic, I like SCTR. Overpriced, insider selling, late earnings, recent dilution, fired old accountant, etc., and the TA folks tell me they like the chart. Last quarter earnings were so bad they made no announcement. Not a scam, just headed lower, and not much short interest yet.

Mr. Pink, All is not lost. I just checked the HOT button and this thread now ranks 25th, just ahead of the CCSI thread. You should be proud of this and award yourself a Pinkie! Furthermore, it has been suggested that the Colormate may be able to detect a "Zemen Freudian Slurp" on David's Xena clothing regardless of the fact that it is all DNA. This suggests that you may want to hedge the CCSI short position. What do you think of the Actrade situation. Douggie has tossed the chicken bones one more time and sees vast improvements in the TAD numbers. I think this is a good indication that Actrade will continue to report dismal numbers in spite of the fact that it is High Season for air conditioners. Comments please. DC

what does everyone think about the airlines. i just started noticing some of the "leaders" look weak and the charts on most of the others are rolling over. industry is strong right now since oil prices are so low, but i really don't think oil will go much lower. this in itself spells bad news for the airline industry which is having a real hard time raising fares. and competition is fierce. i have no position in any yet, but am considering shorting acai, skyw, u, and a few others. for a long consideration, i am looking at a construction company. sounds boring, right? company is granite construction, ticker gva. they just split 3 for 2 and had some nice looking earnings. also made a new high inprice today (my prerequisite for being long) and with the increased highway spending by the government, gva should benefit. any opinions? good luck. i am currently short sctr for the same reasons as someone else posted.
