(2) Q3 near break-even with Retail sales up around 60%+ while other retailers getting slaughtered.
(3) Q4 new products being launched at new retail chains in addition to Wal-mart, Sears, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, major drug store chains, etc.
(4) CNN TV ad rates down 70% for VBDG this Q.
(5) Main product website traffic accelerating and TRIPLED in November over the end of Q3 in September:

(6) One of their newer products, MyPlace, was the best selling product across the entire Bed Bath & Beyond chain Thanksgiving weekend.
(7) On pace to show Q4 YOY sales up 70-100% with positive earnings compared to a big net loss.

Looking into early 2009, they are launching a ton of new products to layer ontop of the current ones.

All of the above info taken from the Q3 conference call, Q3 PR, verifying from BBB, and Q3 10Q SEC filing:

Please verify and do your own DD. I think Q4 2008 will pave the way to a massive 2009 IMO.

RHD thoughts (12/12/08 update)....

RHD is a great bounce play and more for the following reasons:

1. RHD is down over 99% for the year and is trading at near bankruptcy levels yet the company has positive cashflow from operations.

2. RHD has been paying down debt for the past several quarters and has been able to do that at a discount.

3. A hedge fund famous for taking large stakes in distressed companies became a huge shareholder in late November.

4. 22% of the float is short so a short covering rally could happen.

5. RHD is a good January effect candidate because many people and funds have likely been selling it for the tax loss.

*updated since Saturday

This list is in no particular order (except that the most recently updated tends to be toward the top) nor are they owned in equally weighted amounts as some we may have a LOT of money in while others very little as of the last update. Any links are thoughts as of the date and time they are written which may not be current. Also some symbols and/or links may be dropped from time to time without further update as the information/opinions mentioned simply become outdated. Please verify all claims and info, and do your own homework in addition.

FWIW, XYTS up 313% since this last update, but I decided to remove all non-reporting pinks from our favorites list since no non-reporting pinks are part of the board rules.

Maybe XYTS and a ton of NASDAQ pennies running today are a sign that the penny market is starting to heat up again.
