Anyone know at what time Fed minutes are out? TIA
Anyone know why CNTF is down pre-market? Do not see any news.
Who's High Pitch?
Hi Jane,
I like OSIP a lot. I liked it a lot more though about 5 points ago, lol. Got hammered when they bought EYET which I liked a lot too! Could never understand why the street was so down on Eyetech when DNA's drug might not be out for years.
After the recent OSIP bounce from the low 20's I might just let is settle here and see if it comes back down a little. Good luck to you!
INSM is finally breaking out after FDA approval of their main drug a couple of weeks ago. I think this is one of the most undervalued Bio's out there.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Jane.....
The Harkman
Thanks for making my point, lol.....
Hi Ms. Purple :),
Except the Harkster backs it up babe with winners like HURC and TRLG...:)
Hope you have a great holiday season...
Ronnie (harkster) Brown
Maybe you should look in the mirror there Burp. You ALWAYS seem to be in an arguement with someone....
I wonder why that is? Could it be because you're a pompous know it all who thinks he's better than everyone? Hmmmmm....
2 Words...

Get on SRVY Tuna. She is about to blow the shorts out of the water!
SRVY volume pouring in!

SRVY's hidden gem that makes this baby a 20$ stock....
One piece of the SRVY business that no one really thinks about is their European Shopping Comparison Portal "CIAO.COM" They are the biggest European Shopping Comparison site.
The big piece of info to take away from this is the fact that in 2005 all three US independent shopping comparison sites were purchased for over $450 Million:
Shopping.com purchased by EBAY in June for$620Million
Shopzilla purhased for $560Million and just last week PriceGrabber was purchased for $485 Million by Experian.
If SRVY talks about Rightsizing and trying to be a PURE Market Research Sample play I can totaly see them offing this comparrison biz for a ton of cash.

Greenfield Online Announces North American Rightsizing Initiative
Company Projects Approximately $7.0 Million in Annual Cost Savings
Company will Record Restructuring Charges in the Fourth Quarter of 2005 and the First Half of 2006
Positions Company for Future Investment in Key Operational Areas
WILTON, Conn., Dec. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Greenfield Online, Inc (Nasdaq: SRVY), a leading provider of Internet survey solutions to marketing research and consulting companies, today announced a major rightsizing initiative. As a result of this initiative, the company estimates approximately $7.0 million of projected annual operating cost savings as compared with the company's third quarter 2005 annualized operating expense run rate.
'It is absolutely essential that we rightsize,' said Albert Angrisani, President and Chief Executive Officer of Greenfield Online. 'Also, it is absolutely essential that we rightsize in the right way. In broad terms, we have three imperatives: one, eliminate costs that bring little or no value to our customers; two, identify areas that can bring major benefits to customers; and three, invest in the people that can best deliver these benefits.'
'We have simple, but ironclad guidelines for the first task,' Angrisani went on. 'Wherever a cost does not contribute to our business, wherever the elimination of that cost does not reduce the quality of our services, we will eliminate it, period.'
'That will lead to significant savings -- in all, we estimate approximately $7.0 million of savings in operating expenses, including G&A expenses, and staff costs.'
'This is not a tentative first step in cost reduction,' Angrisani continued. 'It is major. It aligns our cost structure with our near term revenue outlook in North America. It also positions us to move forward aggressively, to begin to strengthen our customer base, grow our revenues, and rebuild shareholder value.'
'That said, at this moment, we still have limited revenue visibility. However, we believe we have executed a rightsizing plan that meets all of our goals. But let's be clear: if circumstances change, we won't hesitate to adjust expenses appropriately.'
As of today, the company has reduced annual salary and benefits costs by $2.8 million. Total North American staffing has been reduced by 39 positions. In 2006, offices in San Francisco, California and Durham, North Carolina will be closed. The Encino, California office will be rightsized or moved to a smaller local facility. Reductions of G&A expenses will total $3.2 million, including an expected reduction of public company expenses of $1.5 million. Cost of goods sold will be reduced by $1.0 million.
In the fourth quarter of 2005, the company expects to record a charge of approximately $400,000 for severance and expenses related to the reduction in force.
In 2006, the company expects to record an additional restructuring charge of between $400,000 and $700,000 related to office closings and relocations described in this press release, as well as certain final personnel charges related to the current reduction in force.
Furthermore, as part of our annual review of goodwill and intangible assets under FAS142 and FAS144, the company is evaluating the current value of these assets. Based on this review, the company will make any necessary adjustments to mark to market the carrying value of these assets. At this time, the review is ongoing and the outcome thereof has not been determined. The results of this review are expected to be disclosed when the company reports its fourth quarter and year-end 2005 results.
In amplifying on the investment objectives mentioned above, Angrisani said, 'While rightsizing is imperative, so is rebuilding. Contingent on North American revenue visibility and revenue growth, we intend to step-function approximately 50% of the cost savings back into specific areas of our business that are critically important to our customers: panel operations, panel development and incentives and our sales consultancy operation.'
Angrisani continued, 'Greenfield Online has an abundance of skilled, energetic professionals in every functional area of our business. To do the best possible job for our customers, they need the best tools available. We will provide them.'
Conference call and webcast access information
The Company has scheduled a conference call to discuss this press release for tomorrow morning Thursday, December 15, 2005 at 8:00 AM EST. Albert Angrisani, President and CEO, will host the teleconference. Formal remarks will be followed by a question and answer session.
SRVY..Is going to fly this week. A short raid is about to happen. Was over 20 earlier this year, now around 5 bucks. Huge short interest is about to pay the piper.
Did you and girlfriend sell this? Really Dumped out.
I believe HURC was Harkers pick, at around 15.
It already has. Tysabri is baked in the cake at these prices.
Its the only stock he trades.
Uhhh, that would have been .90, not .94 per your post. On a penny stock that is quite a difference. Why does everyone in internet land have to fudge on their buy and sell prices? Like it matters to us at all. Wierd.
A mutual friend of ours, The Harkster, told me to tell you something....
"HURC Baby!!!!"
HOM getting hammered today on GOOD NEWS! Stock offering to private investors cleans up all debt and balance sheet and allows for company buys in the future. Look for this to rebound large on Friday.
TRLG is really starting to go here. So undervalued its unreal...PE of under 10 and its the hottest clothing line in retail right now. Went to Nordstrums and Nieman Marcus yesterday and the sales girls said that they can barely keep anything by True Religion on the shelves. As fast as the merchandise comes in, its sold out! I honestly think they will do close to 2 bucks in 06.
TRLG is finally starting to get some volume and momo here. I think this one will rock through X-mas. Hot, hot brand right now.
TRLG is so undervalued here compared to the other retailers. The strange this is that the True Religion brand is the HOTTEST brand out there right now. I think this will soon take off into Christmas.
I know Kaiser, I was shocked when I saw they came out before the open. Why couldnt they have been good for once and actually have did me a favor? I cant win. :(
Oh my girlfriend what a bath. I never was going to hold thru earnings in the first place as I expected them AFTER the close. I was going to sell on the pop today. Wow was I wrong :((...Hope your doing well though, :)
I agree bizarreeeee
