Can't win if you don't play

8/9 Piotroski Score, missing perfect score only due to having gross margin fall from 13.7% to 13.4%. Would like to see a bit less in current liabilities, however, overall this stock appears to be undervalued at the moment.

good until they can get their earnings stable again

I love when stupid stocks go up, makes it so much easier to spot future tanks. No IT company should be going up right now, period. They have had two verticle climbs in one month. Big Red flag, contract or not. Their earnings were not that great. Need guidance? Look at what happened last time the stock rapidly inflated above $7 in January.....it fell to $2 within two months.

trend PS test

I've had good luck picking 3 - 5 star stocks that get hammered because of bad news. Will only hold for a couple days.

Company has been focused on acquisitions, its core business has suffered. Debt laden, they have relatively few advantages over competitors. Management is poor and is struggling to put together a decent value proposition.

recovery play -- looks very attractive = badly oversold

price is 10% of rev, low debt, 20 is my target price. check the 10 yr chart.

Definate bullish trend for this company. Moving in the right direction and all aspects point to a strong future. All P/S,P/BV,P/E are better than s&p500 and DJ average and that can only mean a positive outlook.

IR - WR juni 2007

Insight will benefit in the short run on any favorable news for merger, purchase of CDW or other large Computer resellers. It will tend to underperform the market for one basic reason - that it's marketing strategy is geared toward businesses and not toward retail purchases. So it is not a household name.

My experience with them goes back over 15 years when they were private and called Microage Distribution Center.

Most people do not realize their large size. in the wholesale computer part market they are ranked number 4 behind Ingram Micro, TechData and merisel.

They have purchasing power way above both Dell and CDW in that they can access any of the warehouse supply lines of the aforementioned big 3 and ship directly from those warehouses, through their billing system. a tremendous advantage to provide customer service and next day shipments.

They can outbuy and outprice CDW anyday.

Way undervalued because of visibility by brokerage houses and the unspectacular, quiet profile they maintain .

a more aggressive approach to the market and the earnings grow and the stock takes off.

till then it is a sleeper value.

Like to do some more research, however the chart tells a tale that's not optimistic.

outsourcing continues to climb
