Robrt, Looks like we bounced upward off of the $3/share support line today. Volume tapering off toward normal too. Kind of like the movie 'Das Boot" we'll sit on the bottom of the sea for a while in a damaged vessel and see if we can make those ballast tubes work and bring her afloat once again.... I have two value/turnaround stocks- AFLX and AFCI- Let's see if AFLX's management can build some forward momentum again.... Sincerely, Doug F.

Robert, about the earnings calculations... She used 9.5%, but she actually feels margins will drop to around 5%, her read on the words "pricing pressures" that were in the press release. Why does a company issue such goofy press releases as AFLX? Honesty is the best policy, The truth comes out eventually. I'm glad they issued a warning don't get me wrong, but why didn't they throw in some other numbers, of where they thought margins would be, what percentage of customers had increased business, again I know they cant say anything definite but a range would be good. Their earnings reports aren't much better. Very little in terms of future information other than they feel things are getting better. How often after an earnings report, do we spend time trying to read into what they have said. They might clear up one thing but muddy the waters elsewhere.
