Oil closed (unofficially) at 12.35 , OSX down 2.89....Sarge..my view is that if FGI was gonna warn they would have done it in the last 6 week....so those who are afraid of earnings, we will just have to wait and see next month...Would you go into a store and buy stuff on sale or when they are at sky high prices...would you buy a Direct TV dish system when it came out a few years ago at $600+ , or get an even better system today, even cheaper, Would you buy a HDTV now or wait netx yr or 2....It depends on how you look at Value and risks...Same with Internet and OS stocks....My concern with buying internet stocks here are the risks, valuations and more importantly getting out when the exit close....Look at investors who bought UBID at 189 2 weeks ago...now aclose to 100...I know fgi can't drop 89 anytime soon, can it?
