What do you think about Q2 earnings?bad or fine results!

irrespective of the results, i think this stock is much better than
finacial stocks.I hope it reaches 8 in couple of months.

True.. Earnings shouldn't be worse than previous quarter.. avg analyst
estimate is -16 cents... prev quarter was -16 cents.. I would hope
they beat...

Me too.I checked in many analyst ratings on this stock.No one advised
to sell it.There are strong buys.It was a strong buy $12 as the target
couple of months ago.I hope it gets better.

Really up  12$ after earnings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buy or sell!!!!!!!!!

I am buying.

Even if they meet Q2 number, i'm afraid of poor guidance for the rest
of the year. CEO doesn't know how to put a positive spin at earning
call. I am long at avg of $5.75. Do believe in this stock longer
term...by end of the year we should see it hitting $8-$9 (change of
administration/hopefully tax credit will also get renewed).
