>>>Bearmove> Is Dell getting killed by cheap whiteboxes from
China being sold at WMT?<<<
Yup and a big lack of demand. I only like AAPL as far as the box makers. I plan to start buying AAPL between $12-13. The co has $11 in cash.
SFA up again....still like it
NWRE may be in trouble here. See chart

SKX
By Michelle Rama
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Shares of Skechers USA Inc. (SKX) fell 8%, even though the company issued no negative news related to its business at its analyst meeting Monday in Las Vegas.
"[The company said] nothing new," according to BB&T analyst David Turner, who attended the 11 a.m. EST meeting. "They were just showing their products, gave an update on their marketing strategy - nothing that would impact the stock came out of the meeting."
Skechers officials weren't available for comment.
There was some speculation at the meeting, according to an attendee, about the effects of an international distribution agreement that Skechers rival Steven Madden Ltd. (SHOO) announced Monday with a Paris-based F.E.E.T., a joint venture between Guy Rapp and Groupe Royer. Groupe Royer was Skechers' European distributor until 2002.
The fear, of some, was that Skechers was dropped by the distributor or that Madden took preference. Neither of which was true because Skechers ships its own products internationally and no longer uses a distributor, said an analyst attending the meeting.
Shares of Skechers recently fell 8%, or 62 cents, to $7.17 on volume of 692,100. Average daily volume is 353,600. Earlier Monday, the shares traded as low as $6.70, not far from their 52-week low of $6.52 set in October.
Skechers shares have taken a hit in recent months, weighed down by a weak retail environment. A month ago, the Manhattan Beach, Calif., footwear maker raised slightly the fourth-quarter and full-year earnings and revenue outlook it drastically lowered in December. Skechers, in December, blamed the weak economy for its lowered outlook.
DELL better hold this area.
Saw it....thanks
MVL....It must hold this $10.50 line otherwise it moves to $10.10.
EMC....I like the way its acting. On to my watch list.
VXGN buyers...watching again

>>>Bear: What doubts do you have? I am showing a trend change Fri -- that is why I ask. Ranch<<<
I've got a feeling that we won't go to war with Iraq. I still have major concerns about N.Korea. If we attack Iraq without global backing we could create a new problem.
Lets face it, everyone seems to believe the market will rally when the bombs start falling. If thats the case sould we be buying now while everyone is running for the hills?
MDCO continues up....
ARXX upgrade takes it to a day high...

Around $32 would be inviting. I'm just going to watch for now.
>>>BearMove
How do you see MVL trading with the opening of DareDevil this weekend.
Any projections??? I am guessing around 25-30 million for the three day weekend, which should be viewed as positive since february is a poor month for new releases.<<<
I think the movie will kick butt. Some sell on the news action may enter soon. That dip will be bought by me.
I think I would prefer this one near $35. You know, I kind of like HAIN. Love their herbal tea. Nice earnings report recently. Pullback or breakout coming. Watching it
SCOI....Anyone follow this one? Looks interesting. Will watch for a pullback..
>>>If there is no war then expect a big relief rally in the short term.<<<
If there is no war by when?
30-Day Avg. Volume: 143,000 .....I can live with that as a position trade. I like it. Good one....will watch. Thanks for posting a stock idea on this stock trading board.

Tons of boric acid hijacked in SoCal
By Hil Anderson
From the National Desk
Published 2/8/2003 4:20 AM
View printer-friendly version
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- Law enforcement agencies in the Los Angeles area were on alert Friday night for a stolen truck hauling 44,000 pounds of boric acid, a material that can be used as an ingredient in explosives.
The California Highway Patrol told United Press International the missing truck and its cargo container were stolen around 8 p.m. PST in Corona, around 30 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. The circumstances surrounding the alleged theft were not immediately available.
The Corona police informed the FBI of the theft. There was no immediate comment from the bureau.
There were no indications that the vehicle had been targeted by terrorists or anyone else intent on causing an explosion. However the theft occurred on the day that the national terrorist threat level was raised to "high" based on what federal authorities viewed as a credible evidence that an al Qaida attack was possible.
Boric acid, the stolen cargo, is a colorless, odorless crystalline substance and is used in a number of industrial processes and products such as eye wash solution, flame retardants, insecticides and fertilizers, although it can also react violently with potassium, acid anhydrides and other chemicals.
The vehicle was described as having a green tractor and a flatbed trailer carrying a cargo container and having an Oregon license plate. The CHP said there had been a number of possible sightings of the truck but the vehicle remained missing early Saturday.
THE REAL P/E RATIO
The following are based on S&P 500 12-month trailing earnings for the
last quarter reported by Standard & Poors. The estimated P/E is
calculated by dividing the most recent S&P 500 close by the EPS:
"As Reported" (GAAP) EPS is $30.04; P/E is 27.62.
"Core" EPS is $18.48; P/E is 44.90.
"Pro Forma" EPS is $44.04; P/E is 18.84.
Based upon the latest GAAP earnings the following would be the
approximate S&P 500 values at the cardinal points of the normal
historical value range. They are calculated simply by multiplying the
GAAP EPS by 10, 15, and 20:
Undervalued (P/E = 10): 300
Fair Value (P/E = 15): 451
Overvalued (P/E = 20): 601
