VSTR - recently spun off from WWCA (Cellular One)... you can probably get it from there. It's a local Seattle area company so Microsoft Investor should have pretty good coverage of this.

Would someone please give an opinion on SYKE! I have been in it for a few weeks. It tanked after purchase but has come back now. (I am in at 25 1/4 and it is at 26 3/8 now.) I am wondering if I should sell or let it run a while longer. Stochastics look overbought for now. Also, I am in MESG at 17 and it seems to keep tanking. Stochastics appear to be oversold, but I am unsure of the rest of the chart. It seems to still be trending down. Would appreciate an opinion on both. Lois H.
