When Fred came out with the 'poor' sales figures and then re-confirmed its earnings,I put out a strong buy on my website. On a personal note,I bought 5,000 share at an average price of 11.87. The stock is now about 12.35 and I think it could go into the 14's in a couple of weeks. I will be selling it out and then will buy it back when it approaches my very short-term target. Over the long haul,Fred will do very well.They are a well managed company with a good balance sheet.
