| DON'T BUY | 5.290 | Benj Gallander | Doesn't follow this one anymore. Got discouraged with it when the top brass where taking a lot of money out of it in terms of salaries and options. | 2007-05-18 | |
| DON'T BUY | 5.550 | Peter Hofstra | A company that has really had to reorganize itself. Probably in decent shape right now. Probably fair value, but with more risk than others in this space. | 2006-10-30 | |
| WAIT | 4.990 | Peter Hofstra | Watching this one as it feels like it’s tremendous value. Had to make a tremendous transition from being arrogant about their products.
