me humbly thinks the downgrades are for big guys to accumulate. Once done, it'd fly. I've experienced a similar senario with SYNT. It was rocketing, big guys seemed to have missed the boat, a quick 2-3 downgrades fired, the price shot down 10 points from ~40 to ~30. Next day it regained the 10 and some (if I recall correctly), anyhow, it reached 60 within days... Media these days is imprinting the words online shpopping, e-commerce, e-business... it's coming. Happy MManipulation.

I am long on this stock. This company will be one of the first ones to get into international markets, where on-line shopping will be even more popular. People are still underestimating the potential for e-commerce and what OnSale has done and the potential it has over next 5 years. I expect this stock to hit its new high after the holiday season is over, if it doesn't, I will wait hold on to it...!! -Nilesh.

I'm long. As for the downgrades, I've seen it happen with all kinds of stocks...doesn't mean much to me. I look at the sector, the company and what I think the overall future APPEARS to be. IMHO all of these look good to me in regard to ONSL. I have another stock (DELL) that has been down several times this year AND it has been downgraded by various analysts/firms as well. I won't go so far as to compare ONSL with DELL but on the other hand I wouldn't be too quick to bet against either of them.
