Looking pretty strong this afternoon after the morning dip. .74 on the ASK.
Rhino
I think we'll head for .87 at a minimum.
Rhino
Do you think that means we head north? and if so, maybe pick up some more to average down?
I like the hook on the 10dma:
What are your thoughts on ....picked up some last week at .72 - is that run going to happen soon?
same here. patience. I think we will get $1.
Good to see you here, langlui. We need a little push to get this going again, but I remain patient.
Rhino

I agree, and think it will happen.
Rhino

What a difference a day makes... looks like we're back on track!
Rhino

I've been gone most the day, but it looks like we had a bit of a pullback, but are starting to climb back up a little again.
Rhino
rhino,hows she holdin up today??..tia
Well, this one looks like a winner to me with the limited TA knowledge I have.
I used to just look at fundamentals, but now almost always let the charts guide my trading decisions. I have even bought certain stocks on occasion without even knowing what they do, if you can believe that!
Rhino
Yeah, I'm not much for reading charts, just in the learning stages and have a long way to go, but what I am able to digest looks like it's set up to run hard. Time will tell. Thanks for the input Rhino!
I think most of us here are playing the chart setup, phrantic. Although, it does look like the company posted record revenues last year as well, which can never hurt.
Rhino
Is there something in the wind here? Doing some board hopping and this one caught my eye. TIA
Boardmarks going up 8 now - should be around 15 tommorrow IMO
.7015 x .72 - 1400 shares away from HOD .73
I will not complain at all about .90s.
Rhino
Yeah lookin for a .73/.74 close today and then the .80s+ tommorrow when we really start to pinch.
I dont see it going much more above 1.00, but i like the trade here into the .90s tommorrow or friday IMO
We're starting to gain a little attention here. Tripled our boardmarks since Monday... 2 to 6, LOL.
Rhino
THANK YOU :) It's a great chart!
I just added are beautiful chart to the IBOX.
Looking good now: .72 x .73
Rhino
What's your target here, Chevdawg? I'm thinking we can get back above a dollar on this run.
Rhino
SAR flipped today. Need to get back to the HOD:
Pre-Market, looks poised to bust into the mid-.70s or higher today.
Rhino

Record Annual Sales from Continuing Operations SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sonic Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNCI), a leading producer of advanced digital hearing aids, today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2008. Highlights include: -- Achieved record annual sales from continuing operations of $124.9 million; realizing a 4.9 percent sales growth compared to 2007. -- Strengthened product lineup by launching one new product during the fourth quarter. -- Entered into an agreement with Bose Corporation to sell a digital signal processing patent while retaining the rights to utilize such technology in Sonic-branded products and services. -- Completed restructuring activities which were initiated in the first quarter of 2008.
"I am pleased by the increase in year-over-year sales growth in a soft economy," said Sam Westover, Chairman and CEO. "Our on-going international operations continue to improve. North American operations continue to be hampered by the economy; however, we remain committed to expense reductions that are responsive to revenue fluctuations. The launch of an additional product in the fourth quarter continues to enhance our product offerings and I am looking forward to several product launches in 2009." Net sales from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased 4.9 percent over the same period in 2007 to $124.9 million. Net sales decreased 2.9 percent in North America, increased 8.5 percent in Europe, and increased 12.6 percent for Rest-of-World for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 2007. Fourth quarter 2008 net sales from continuing operations of $27.3 million were 14.5 percent lower than fourth quarter 2007 net sales of $31.9 million primarily due to the challenging global economic situation and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. The stronger U.S. dollar reduced sales by $3.1 million or 9.7 percent on a year-over-year basis for the fourth quarter 2008. North American sales of $9.3 million in the fourth quarter 2008 decreased 18.9 percent from 2007. European sales of $12.5 million in the fourth quarter 2008 decreased 5.1 percent from 2007 and Rest-of-World sales of $5.5 million in the fourth quarter 2008 were down 24.6 percent from 2007. Gross profit from continuing operations of $17.0 million in the fourth quarter 2008 decreased 17.6 percent from 2007. Gross margin from continuing operations for the fourth quarter was 62.3 percent in 2008 compared to 64.6 percent in the same period of 2007 primarily as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar and lower average selling prices in North America. The Company's gross margin from continuing operations remained flat at 63.3 percent for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales from continuing operations increased from 54.5 percent in 2007 to 56.5 percent in 2008, and increased from 55.5 percent in the fourth quarter 2007 to 56.8 percent in the fourth quarter 2008 primarily as a result of retail acquisitions, which carry a higher percentage of selling, general and administrative expense. Research and development expense was $8.3 million in 2008 compared to $8.6 million in 2007, a year-over-year decline of $0.3 million. Research and development expense in the fourth quarter 2008 of $1.9 million decreased $0.1 million from $2.0 million in the prior year. For the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded total restructuring charges of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per share. For the full year 2008, the Company recorded total restructuring charges of $4.7 million, or $0.17 per share, of which $2.5 million was non-cash and $2.2 million was cash. Excluding discontinued operations, in the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per share, and $2.1 million, or $0.08 per share, on a year-to-date basis. The Company also recorded a $2.1 million charge related to goodwill impairment during the fourth quarter 2008. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Bose Corporation to sell a digital signal processing patent while retaining the rights to utilize such technology in Sonic-branded products and services. This gain is recognized as a component of Other Income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During 2008, the Company closed one of its European operations and sold another operation in Europe as part of its consolidation efforts. These units have been classified as discontinued operations for the three months and years ended December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $3.6 million or $0.13 per share, as compared with income from continuing operations of $1.8 million or $0.07 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2007. Excluding restructuring charges and goodwill impairment, the annual income from continuing operations for year ended 2008 was $0.6 million, or $0.02 per share, as compared with income from continuing operations of $1.8 million or $0.07 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $13.4 million and an available line of credit of $6.0 million.
