Pinnacle Airlines July 24, 2008
I guess I wasn't the only one thinking Pinnacle needed to go up, and apparently the market agreed taking it up 10.1% yesterday. It is down from that today, which in my opinion is just another short term buying opportunity, without even thinking about the long term value of the business (which I do believe in)

What's going on with Stamps.com? June 24, 2008
Having such a large position in this stock, even a small drop gets my attention, but a 18% drop in the last 2 weeks without any news stock specific news. The only news is macro: oil, commodities are sky high, financials are in the dumps. Your guess is as good as mine on it, just wanted to point out to followers that this might be a good time to jump in on this call. Again, my initial evaluation still strongly holds: Stamps.com - incredible value for cheap
- Expertise 5-10 years
- Qualifications Work Experience
