shouldn't trend toward gift certs (and crediting them at redemption) apply equally to barnes noble--same for "winter storms", no? bks earlier had its number lowered when they disappointed in november when they disappointed with lower than expected numbers. look what happened since. they meet the lower number and comeback. if signif increase in year end git cert sales means bonanza in 1st q, wht does stock tank? they disappointed for the first time and must be punished. as you know without the expansion of the internet biz, they would have met the numbers. they need to show more for the internet biz. also maybe they are considering a spinoff the internet biz, since they are breaking out the numbers. i agree with you, expect a strong 1st q. how can you go wrong with msft? if you follow the bks example we should expect bgp to return to 25 area within one month.
