To all, Thanks for the article and Bill I agree with you. I think CPU may report a little better than the street thinks. If they were able to net just 1% of sales, we should have a good earnings number a little higher than the projection. At net 1.5% then we will have a blow-out of the projection. I buy a lot of computer gear, and CPU is priced fair on most of the stuff they sell. I can get it cheaper over the net, but my point is, that this 1.5% return is not outside the realm of possibility. Remember that net sales increased by 22%. Thats a lot of additional revenue with the same fixed overhead. I am betting on a surprise. Now the only real question is if CPU is going to have some of those nice forward looking statements the street loves. I hope they are on top of this and with their own money on the line I would think so. The article is interesting because I read that one quoted post on Yahoo and it screamed short to me. Good Luck matt

cpu insiders can not win for buying. insiders stepped up to the plate to show investors and the street they were wrong about the company. cpu is to low and to close to earnings to sell.

hey bill, i'm new to ts.com, got a trial run for free so i could read the article unedited. i must say i was taken aback by the flat out insinuations that this was an attempt to sway investors! >>>>>>CompUSA's efforts have, at least for now, failed miserably, but that hasn't stopped a host of other companies from trying to boost their stock with increased insider buying<<<<< i took this as a contrarian buy signal if there is such a thing. fwiw i placed an order around 3:50ish @11 1/16 x 11 1/8, filled at 11 1/8 and couldn't beleive we closed @ 11 1/2. anybody catch what happened? i have a gut feeling on this one.(earnings?) just not sure if i am sick to my stomach or what?
