Hi, I am new to this thread. Just started looking at it today. A very good friend of mine, who is a good stock picker, suggested I look into BGP. I have pulled up a couple of reports and read it and am now trying to get a feel for this company before I decide on investing into it. I would appreciate any insight/guidance that the veteran holders of BGP may have for me. BGP vs. AMZN ============ I would never throw my money at AMZN even if it had the potential to go to a 1000...too much risk. But the fact that even I find it easier to use Amazon for my book purchases doesn't instill confidence in book stores. In fact I have not bought a single book from a book store in the last year or so. How much of BGP's buisness is web based now? General BGP earnings expectations ================================== From my Zacks reports it appears that the latest analyst expectations indicate a negative trend for BGP earnings. What do you guys think? In general, I am fishing for reasons to convince my self to buy this stock at these low levels. All comments and advice are appreciated. Thanks -Raj
