BKS is a good investment and has a sound business plan. Some people don't realize that BKS is buying Ingram Book Group. Ingram Book Group is AMZN's main book supplier.

If BKS dips tomorrow, it may be one less chance to get in BKS in the 30s again for the BNBN IPO.

Again, I don't think PC sales affect book sales. People will panic and sell at the open tomorrow due to CPQ's earnings warning.

Companies like BKS, Walmart (WMT), and Home Deport (HD) will continue to prosper because people will always be buying their products.

fuddle, I'll right behind you to load up some more BKS if it dips. BNBN is being touted as the largest (and hopefully most successful) net IPO this year.
