Glad to see a positive post on this stock. So many of the posts are negative. I don't object to people posting negative information , in fact I would expect no less from SI Members . But so many of the posts have been absolutely VITRIOLIC , especially with regard to management. Did any of these people bet on the GEEK, Bill Gates in 1985? It's not reasonable to expect a BB company to have an IR Department that matches those of Microsoft or Intel. Monday, Dec 28 (the last day for tax-loss selling) may be brutal. Hopefully the whiners will sell their shares and get off the thread. Hopefully, after that, we can return the thread to an intelligent discussion of the company's prospects (both positive & negative). I'm certain that the MM's in ZULU are reading this thread and that this may have accounted for the relatively wide spreads between the bid/ask. I visited the BrandsForLess website:brandsforless.com I was very impressed with: the breadth of the available items; the depth of the available items; & the speed with which I could go from screen to screen. I did not try to buy anything since I'm a Canadian & for me buying from a US firm often results in extra hassles with respect to GST(1). Perhaps one of the Americans on this thread could buy something from BrandsForLess and report back on the experience, from website surfing; through the order experience; to delivery of the item. (1) To give you an example of the GST hassles, I recently ordered Netscape 4.05 for US $ 19.50 (about CDN $ 30.00). Subsequent to delivery, I got a bill from the delivery company for CDN $ 7.40--8% of $30.00 = $ 2.40 + $ 5.00 collection fee . So, for small items, I buy from Canadian Companies whenever possible. Yours truly, Brian Diggle
