well, they said something like,
"we cant really talk about any guidance at this time, the numbers are so huge and the opportunity is so great that... well.. we can't give any guidance cause we might miss it, and missing guidance would.." effectively suck.
so huge opportunity.
well, i'll listen to the conference call and see what comes to my attention, if things look good, i'd probably double up here.
I was only able to catch part of it before getting distracted ... havent had a chance to go back and listen to the whole CC yet.
They mentioned losing some contracts on the call, but the full effect of the AARP has yet to be seen since only a few states are fully operational.
I'm debating grabbing some more here as well, but not too confident in the general indices which might create a better buying opportunity here.
did you listen in on this? the stock is around $1 now.
just questioning whether i should double up or just let it sit.
Check out Glen's article, he breaks down some of the specifics:

sticking to their guns on margins
stuff sucked last quarter
short termers should be getting out, hopefully i can load up cheap. lol. loss in the last quarter.
1st quarter is sucking
siemens took bids for their division, bids were short of expectations.
rolloff as separate entity, 600M euros or around 800M dollars.
anyone who knows what is going on doesnt appear to be selling.
i hope this goes lower.
SNAP: Q&A
Roger is the guy from siemens that is taking over the spinoff over there, and he's the guy that kicked off HEARUSA

Always nice to see the COO of a company you're invested in featured in Smart Business.
Two Form 4s filed today, about 15k sold by the CEO and COO ... guess that's where the selling pressure came from the last few days.
Dont think it's a concern, as you'll see this was only about a 10% reduction for each ... also realize we're close to the 52-week high, so these guys are just being cautious imo.

Old News, but worth remembering:
California HearUSA Centers to Offer Free Hearing Screening and Diabetes Video in March
All HearUSA company-owned hearing care centers in California will be offering free hearing-loss screenings, along with a free 80-minute Living With Diabetes video produced by the American Diabetes Association, to anyone with diabetes during the entire month of March.
People with diabetes are twice as likely to have hearing loss than those who do not have diabetes, according to a National Institutes of Health landmark study. The study's researchers recommended that all men and women with diabetes have their hearing tested.

Accumulating at $1.45 and below ... bright future here.
Can you hEAR me!?
uptrending still.....
yeah, we'll see.
yesterday was a clear case of buy the rumor sell the fact.
i can't see that happening for much longer. appears to be incredibly undervalued given on the conference call they were asking for the adoption rate, 40%, 30%, 20%; the lowest he went was 20%.
maybe i'm optimistic.
today might be a good buying opp here. this one is a long term hold IMO.
Management Commentary
"Our ability to exercise strong cost controls along with effective resource management allowed us to achieve another profitable quarter in this challenging economic climate," said Stephen J. Hansbrough, HearUSA's chairman and CEO. "We have made the tough calls and avoided the unprofitable strategies that benefit sales at the expense of profits. We believe this approach has enabled us to establish a cost structure that can maximize the potential of a rising top line in 2010."

**VOLUME/CHART ALERT**!!!~!!~~!~!~!
Looking to start a position in the $1.20s ... been on my radar for a few weeks now.
EAR
Alright, I'm listening.
Basically, looking to roll out using AARP, could be monster growth.
aarp members buy 1M hearing aides a year.
ROTH capital partners estimates suck because they don't include the AARP potential revenue generated in their models and their penetration is 3%.
they've got self-liquidating debt through siemens
lol $0.50 for the aarp program? That's LAME.
rumor has it that management believes that the analyst didn't have the right frame of mind when assumping margins will not be higher going forward with AARP

this stock is busting a move!!!!!!!!!!
I hear that these folks are buying up independent audiologists, so it looks like they're increasing market share in ways even other than through AARP.
