Tin, I don't pay any attention to the stocks Jimbo mentions on this thread. Saying this, I have no idea what kind of company BEAR is other than it must be a real cheapo if you are looking at a price target of $3.25. Stocks such as EMC, SUNW, CSCO, FTU--and our CPQ--are of more interest to me than the hit-and-run things Jimbo drops on people here. No offence, Jimbo, I'm just not interested in being pointed to the next [supposedly] "hot" [cheapo] stock. Lynn

OT ... Tin: BEAR went from low 2's to 4 within a week or so after I mentioned it here....it didn't stay up long (I think management blundered in their timing of the earnings release for one thing) and is since back around $2...I sold most of my BEAR at $3 range but picked up some more at 2 1/4 on the way back down... BEAR is a turnaround play and they just had killer Valentines sales, but the next earnings report is nearly 3 months away, so it may base for awhile around $2...I think it is a good risk/reward in the $2 range with a great chance of going back over $3 sometime between now and next earnings report. Jimbo.

Tin.... don't feel like you are alone! C GArcia listened to Jimbolney and lost about $60k on a $90k investment. Why ANYONE would listen to Jimboloney is beyond me. He loves it when you gain and he loves it when you lose. As far as his picks go, you might as well throw a dart at the business page of the newspaper. Jimboloney actually lost about $144k on SYSF. He had an average price of $12 on 12,000 shares and sold them all for about 38 cents. El

Tin, I'm hoping and guessing that you did not take a big stake in this stock. I can only offer what I have learned over the years. When I started out I was attracted to 'cheap' stocks in hopes of making 'quick killings'. I learned long ago that the key is buying 'quality'. If you are wrong on your timing, quality will usually save your butt in the long run. I have not touched these low priced stocks for many years. Often, if you are wrong on them they never come back. This is not a direct comment on BEAR, I haven't the foggiest idea what shape the company is in. Regards, John
