    I frequently see the use of the term "fundies" on the list. I =
assumed that it meant mutual funds. Does it mean more than that?

    Thanx,

      I subscribe to DGO (Daily Graphs Online, a WON product) which =
condenses a lot of information into two pages of charts with fundies =
data.

      As a reminder to members, and since one member indicated the =
discount still is available, annual cost may still be possible to reduce =
from over $700 to the low $500 level by subscribing to a single book a =

      Excellent points Tom...and you were correct that margins and =

the conference call.  Mgt indicated in the call that they were working =

      If you'd be so kind, where do you look to get that info so quickly =

        as a comment, one thing I always look at, which WON doesn't talk =
about, is the sequential sales and earnings. Most people tend to focus =
on year to year comparisons, which I also look at, but I place greater =
weight on sequential comparisons.

        When I look at this one, I see earnings for past 4 qtrs are up, =
down, up, down. However, sales are consistently up all four qtrs. That =
tells me they may be having a problem with profit margins that I would =
want to investigate.

        I also note that cash flow is lower than earnings, which should =
be investigated. Additionally, management owns 70%, so I would check and =
see if they have been selling, might explain part of the drop.
