interestingly, CBU reached about $20/share a few months ago, then dropped steadily to about 11, and in the week or so preceding this most recent announcement climbed back to 15 – then dropped like a rock back to 12 after the apparently good news. Must not have been good enough for the pros. At 12, CBU might be a good buy. It's at its lowest point in months.

Yes, I still can't figure out their drop after reporting the quarterly and yearly gains. The profits came after LOSSES same quarter last year and were BIGGER than expected. Maybe the personnel cutbacks had something to do with it. Heck, Apple reported over a $50 million loss last quarter and their stock ROSE! -Chas

Analysts were predicting higher earnings. Alex, Brown and Sons were predicting earnings twice as high as they were. The main problem was currency rates. — Ethan

Contratians reign supreme – or maybe it was the Magnavox CD-I showing at the consumer electronics show and the fact that CDTV has not really captured the market before the big guys are ready to jump in that convinced the professional investers that CBM STILL can't market the greatest things since sliced bread. wmc
