Grace <<I have a feeling that these people spend very little time out there in the real world actually doing any kind of real research. If you consider that retail sales for computer gear has been a terrible business to be in in the last six months (shrinking to non-existant margins, inventory that becomes worthless over night, etc) I think that ONSL has done a wonderful job of hanging in there. >> If you had observed some of the questions by analysts at the IOM conference call the other night, one would certainly conclude such relative to real-world analysis. It strange. Listen to the oil ccs and you get the impression that the analysts that follow oil are very impressive (yet the market is terrible). Listen to computer related calls, and you wonder if this isn't one of their "other" jobs.

Here's some interesting data on today....I've never looked at a site like this before,it is suppose to tell you who is doing the buying and selling, like whether it is retail or institutional buying. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears from this graph that the retail investors might have been taking the price down, but the institutions were the ones doing the buying. Trading into a stock while they are downgrading....or am I being a little too cynical here? check it out thomsoninvest.net
