My experience has been that insiders rarely know when to sell (Enron =
being a rare exception), so selling usually is not significant to me. =
Additionally, at a well monitored company, the time period when insiders =
are allowed to sell is restricted, so the timing is not a very good =
indication.
Insider buying, on the other hand, is a signal I will take note of =
unless it is just an isolated case.

Thanks to all for the interesting and educational dialogue on DFXI. I =

chart of stocks like INTC, DELL, CSCO that were once $25 "pricey" =

Happy Easter,

Direct Focus, in my opinion, is basically a marketing company that =
has chosen to sell high quality leisure equipment. They have "branded" =
their products through heavy spot TV commercials, infomercials, =
Internet, response mailings and print media. Their products include =
Bowflex, Nautilus, Schwinn, and StairMaster. One strong trait is their =
ability to set the product price and hold it for an extended period of =
time. I sent off for their free video tape over a year ago and the =
Bowflex prices have not changed. They are growing through acquisition =
which is reducing their fixed costs, and they are a clear leader in =
their industry. Their IBD Industry Classification, Leisure-Products, has =
done quite well over the last several months.=20
Having said all that, the stock price could drop like a rock Monday, =
and if it does, I'm gone.=20
