You must be feeling like a genius today! Congrats! I am beginning to think that the limited amount of shares available for trading maybe influencing the price fluctuations. By the way, you are right. My original statement was incorrect about the float. My paper work says that 5.6 million shares is the float so your number are correct. Boy, that means any appreciable volume can really move this stock one way or another. I've looked at TNFI but didn't find them as diversified as COLM. I like companies that are more than 1 dimensional. Another company that I've been keeping my eye on is ROST. They've been getting hammered lately because of what TJX announced. ROST has been coming out with some good numbers so I don't think they are experiencing any difficulties. No Asian exposure, good American economy, and back to school and x-mas around the corner adds up to a lot of upside for this stock. Waiting for them to come into the buy radar range. Good luck to you, Dennis
