I purchased additional shares today at $25.875. After selling at $29.75 I have been buying back from $28 down (a little early). I think this has a pretty good chance of hitting $32 again soon.

I completely agree. In my long term trading account my average price is 22 and I don't plan on selling any time soon. However, in my short term account I bought today at 25 1/2. I plan on selling around 30 as well and may ever go short if it dips above 32. The volatility on this stock is a trader's dream. Jim

Can anyone comment on why the street just yawned at their announcement last night? I thought it was pretty impressive.

Dave, I had the same thought. I bought in a while back at 20 1/2. Sounds as though their very confident and my guess is he wouldn't have said that unless he figured they could exceed 18 cents. Of course monday's activity probably had an affect.

I just got December's issue of Individual Investor. Sykes is mentioned in a small article on page 38. It reads: "Sykes Enterprises is less a telemarketer than a provider of customer service for technology companies, with more than 4,000 employees answering 75,000 questions daily. Recently, the software maker SystemSoft arranged to route computer users' inquiries directly to Sykes. Despite second-quarter revenue and earnings growth of 43% and 133%, respectively, the stock is in the toilet with the rest of the industry. Shares traded recently at $25, off their 52-week high by 28%." Maybe this will help the stock push through the sticky $26-27 area. - Jeff

After a January that shows a 25% runup in the stock price, and lots of new contracts, I'm surprised that this thread isn't hopping. Is anyone out there?

I still follow this thread or what's left of it. I continue to own a core SYKE position and buy and sell additional shares as the sock fluctuates. I love their business model. I think the stock continues to suffer based on the help desk industry having problems. If the stock weakens much more from here I plan to add to my position (in the $20 -$21 range). Good Luck!

Dave, Methinks the news was overdone today? I like the company, especially at these prices...

What did the analyst report say? Why the downgrade? Lots of buying at 17 1/4, must be the bottom.

Analyst didn't like several aspects going forward with all the yakidy-yak they get paid to puke so that a few fundies and a whole lot of little people like us chunk our share down and run. They were probably in there sucking these up at 18+ all evening. Good opp here I think and positioned myself accordingly. I also think the other analyst following this will jump soon to recover the void created in the price today. The numbers and the growth rate should sustain this base at close today and I am looking for 20 intraday on Thur if not tomorrow even if analysts are silent. Hope I'm right and it was a tuffbutt day for you longs so my compassion is with you ---good-luck on your investing.
