My inner man was right when I listened after my trailing stop loss was taken and decided to buy back. Ended the day @1.25 tomorrow should be a good solid day and maybe get back in the 1.30's. This company had to much going for it to go down and stay. First time I've ever played into earnings and got taken out then re-entered right after it was taken and looks like the breakout might be starting now.  Will find out tomorrow.
Goodluck trading to all and any that might still be holding

Just bought back in @1.13. Still think this stock has alot going for it with the PR's that has come out and new product's coming out and with gaining compliance to stay listed on Nasdaq.
Even if it's not a big run after earnings I see this stock as one to hold for at least a month for some good return on it.
Goodluck trading to all 

I bailed on this one yesterday.  Good luck wrangler.  Looks like it is losing steam today, but hopefully it will turn around for you.  Unfortunately I sold a bit too early in the day yesterday. 

Hi  digdug42
I was hoping for a good run today but doesn't look like it will go so I decided to sell again @1.15. These commissions is eating up what little profit I'm getting. Put limit order in to buy BSLM with sell of FCSE.
Goodluck trading to you also

Volume today morning is more than the volume in last 2 sell sessions.

Great post and thank you for all your comments...

nice presentation from analyst day:

The major news here, I think, is that by 2010, FCSE will essentially be a UWB revenue-driven company, while maintaining all other current operations as long as they remain profitable, assuming they become profitable. (He hinted towards a positive cash flow from operations beginning late Q2 early Q3 '07).

The nice thing about the transition is that their electronics/semiconductor division and its established financial reputation among customers actually provided a competitive cost advantage. (He explains this fully in the Webcast).

Really positive growth potential, and currently with no apparent competitors capable of matching Focus' 1. Quality 2. Cost 3. Speed 4. Range

Goodluck trading to all

I missed getting in on this earlier on.  I bought a significant amount the other day just before the Oct 10 Analyst Day.  It was in a nice flagging pattern and after reviewing all the fundamentals and their prospects with ZUNE and wireless chips.  It moved up 20% or so in two days. There is a link to their webcast on their website if you want to hear it (well worth listening too). The pullback point looks to be in the mid $1.65 range and it came back to $1.68 a little earlier.  I think we are seeing some profit taking into the weeknd and Monday it may pick back up again.  Its getting tremendous volume and attention (which will of course lead to volatility).  It has Analyst attention which is unusual for a stock like this (they recevied a strong buy recommendation (which is why I started looking into it).    Mike

I don't mean to be rude. 
I do think a lot of the credit here goes to "Wrangler" 
His name is written all over this thread. 
Looks like Terabemo abandoned ship @ page 1, not to be heard from again.... 

A huge applaud to Wrangler for the outstanding work....and the following of this thread so tight. I would give more than one applaud @ a time if I could!!!! 
That's the way the $$ are made......track that trade

One of these day's I'll be back on broadband and I'll be able to keep up better on thread's.
Thank's again for the comment's and applaud's

FCSE still bullish as long as it stays above the ascending trendline.

I jumped back into this one today.  Closed right at 1.84.

Nice volume...MACS turning positive.
