Good news to confirm earning in order. Merger news coming in the next few days should head it higher. Analyst reiterated strong buy. Should be shoot back to $30 soon as mentioned in Baron.

ttf, why post price targets if you have no data? Last post was a little ambiguous. Comparing the last post with the previous 2 or three makes a composite attitude that you are either sitting on the sidelines because of losses in the past or if you are investing, you are heavily short! The last post shows ambiguity: A) vs B) Where A) is "Headed to $15." Where B) is "Hope I'm wrong." Also, your use of the word clobbered is perhaps too strong. It is not uncommon for a stock to fluctuate 10-15% during volitle sideways trends! This is not clobbered! Clobbered to me is if the stock drops 20% or more. Going from 22 to 20 is not clobbered! The 2 point dip is much less than the SIX point increase it recently had! Question for you: if sound view and Cowen reiterated s.t.b. and strong buy respectively, do you think they would have done so if they thought the trend was to 15 like you so strongly believe? Perhaps Soundview and Cowen have resources and data that make them think that the trend is upwards rather then downward?? Something to think about! At this time I am not in a BEAS position and will not make questionable speculations about BEAS going up or down. Another question, if you apparently hate BEAS and if you are not shorting the stock, why do you bother with it??? The other funny thing about your posts, is that you do not back up your $15 target with any kind of insights to earnings/financials, comments from analysts, market analysis, or otherwise. All you ever says is $15. It would be foolish for anyone to listen to you as long as you continue to NOT provide data. Of course everyone is entitle to an opinion. But what really makes the net cluttered is when there is SPAM and when there is unsubstantiated opinions. A decision to buy or sell can not be made just because you said it will be $15 and you provide no other data to justify this opinion. An opinion without data is just that - to be ignored until confirmed by other sources that provide data! I really hope that you are not trolling to flame someone. I am not trying to flame you. If you could provide anything let it be data and sources to back up your claim of $15. Yes, your opinion is important. It's MUCH MORE important if you can back it up. If you can not back it up (with data and facts) it's only wasting everyone's time reading the garbage. If I wanted to get opinions on stock price targets without data, I would go get a haircut and listen to my barber's opinions - he's much more entertaining.
