I see more value in this company every day ! Positions in a major chain like Walmart would make us be worth much more and increase our revenues. Would also gurantee the merger goes through as they can see their products to the American consumers. This could be huge for us all.
hope we get news soon fellas ! looks like good company here.
THEY ARE LETTING YOU BUY SO THEY CAN THEN LET IT DROP LOWER AND LOWER. YOU CAN'T BEAT THE MARKET MAKERS. THIS IS THE DUMP..AS I SAID YESTERDAY...AND LIKE I SAID, IT IS GOING LOWER.
I HAVE SHARES AND HOLDING ANYWAY....NOT BUYING. ANY ONE ASKING YOU TO " HIT THE ASK " IS JUST TRYING TO GET VOLUME SO THEY CAN DUMP THEIR SHARES AT A HIGHER PRICE. BEWARE !
Hey guys . Newbie here. Hope we get news on merger and listing soon. tHIS COMPANY HAS A GOOD HISTORY OF KEEPING INVESTORS INFORMED.

rally time ..last chance below 7
Market rally - RLAB FLATLINED ! TYPICAL
Walmart buyout rumors true ??
The P/Es of comparable companies should generally be the same, unless company-specific factors change the outlook of the company considerably. That means if there are comparable companies, and one is trading at a lower P/E, it may be relatively undervalued. This is a great way to find bargains in the market.
Let's take a look at five stocks with low P/Es worthy of follow-up research. If purchased while their P/E multiples are below their peers', there is a chance to earn a nice return if the market starts valuing these stocks higher:
Company
Trailing P/E
Market Cap
Abercrombie & Fitch
(NYSE:ANF)
9.8
$4.47B
American Eagle Outfitters
(NYSE:AEO)
8.5 $2.98B
Force Protection
(Nasdaq:FRPT) 5.5 $258M
Murphy Oil
(NYSE:MUR)
10.1
$14.0B
Office Depot
(NYSE:ODP)
7.9
$1.80B
Data as of market close August 18, 2008
Sales Slump at Office Depot
In North America individuals and companies aren't spending bundles of money on office supplies these days (stuff like copiers, fax machines etc.). This can be seen with a 10% drop in sales from office depot's stores open longer than one year. This is a big reason why office supply stores like Office Depot and OfficeMax (NYSE:OMX) are struggling. On a side note, OfficeMax's CFO, Don Civgin, resigned contributing to a 10.5% drop in the stock by mid day August 20, 2008.
Management Optimistic
Office Depot's stock is almost 75% off its 52-week high of $25.51. The Florida-based company is coming off a small (one penny per share) second quarter loss. That's not too sharp given that in the comparable period last year it earned a hefty $105.6 million, or 38 cents per share.
However, I'm not sure its right to say the company is down for the count. It still has several things going for it. The company currently operates more than 1,200 office supply stores throughout the U.S. and Canada. It also has a decent international presence and has - I can't believe time has gone by this fast - been around more than 20 years already.
It's also important to note that the company is expected to have earnings per share of 57 cents this year and 69 cents a share in 2009, according to Yahoo Finance. That's solid given that the stock currently trades under $7, which means Office Depot currently trades at about 11.2 times the current year estimate and at about 9.3 times the current 2009 estimate.
Are these Numbers Doable?
That's the $64,000 question, but any answer I could give would be a guess. After all, there are no guarantees in this economy and the competition remains stiff. I do intend to keep the stock on my radar screen however.
Conclusion
Buying a stock when its P/E is depressed can provide big payoffs to patient investors. The important thing to do is determine if the characteristics of the company are comparable to its peers and industry. The P/E is often lower because the stock simply does not have the same earnings potential. However, there are many cases where the market sours on a stock in the short term and drives down its P/E. Finding those undervalued gems can help boost portfolio returns. To learn more on this and other strategies, read our Guide To Stock Picking Strategies.

Ok Guys be honest. We have to finally accept the fact that
this pos is going nowhere like a rudderless ship. We need an effective leader who can get things done ...we don't have one.
I have tried to be patient but this is bordering on insanity.
No one should have any doubt of the direction of this company at this point.
Doug = Big Failure ! What a joke !
