Tiny and Dangerous Stocks

Date Aldecoa     Date November 12, 2009
Here's a handful of stocks that P&P won't allow me to select, but could become interesting if they don't disappear into thin air.
Proceed with Caution!

CYRV
DFP
DSCO
MXE

I'd be surprised if half of them survive 2010, but think of the possibilities if they do.

Peace out,
Aldecoa

If FED raise rate...

Date TwoFace     Date November 12, 2009
First of all, I'm new here and wanna say hi to the p&p community.

I would be pleased to know what p&p guys think about main asset classes (oil, gld, currency, bonds, stocks...) and inflation reactions after a future FED rate hike.

Basically, my main question is : do you think an increase in rate will be a postive catalyst (recovery, confidence) which could boost more the market, or a temporary negative impact for stocks especially if there is no correction ?

Also, do people figure out t…

Where out thou "JJJ"

Well, Lets just see what CKSW has done since Joe last tried to dispell a quality stock. CKSW had pulled back to $5.16 and I was asked if this was a buying opportunity. I said yes, and indicated a target of 10% was in order for profit taking. Since then largest Portugal company has come on board and momentum is picking up with a close today of $5.88 anticipating a climb above $6.00 in the near future. Any pullback should be considered a buying opportunity while the company shruggs of any negative…

A significant correction still isn't out of the question ...

Date TickerBandit     Date November 10, 2009
It's always great to see bearishness top 50% like it did last week and these kinds of sentiment readings are often followed by persistent rally. So were do we stand today?

Actually I think it could go either way. But I lean slightly to further correction (meeting the criteria of significant correction). The reason is the continued divergence in the market as this rally has progressed. While I do think we will see market continue to diverge through the remainder of the bull market, the p…

Exponential Growth, Finite World - Analyst Blog

Date Zacks_Analysts     Date November 20, 2009

I want to talk about the challenge of exponential growth in a finite world. This is a concept that while on its surface seems easy to get, most people don’t fully grasp it.

Any growth rate that is positive will lead to a doubling in size eventually -- the higher the growth rate, the quicker the doubling. A quick "back of the envelope" method of figuring it out is known as the rule of 70. If you divide a growth rate into 70, it will roughly give you the time for something to double. Thus …

ADC Dips on Weak Outlook - Analyst Blog

Date Zacks_Analysts     Date November 20, 2009

Yesterday, after market close, ADC Telecommunications Inc. (ADCT) declared financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Earlier, the Board of Directors of ADC had taken a decision to change its fiscal year from Oct 31 to Sep 30. As a result, fiscal year 2009 ended on Sep 30, 2009, which means the company got only two months as its fourth quarter. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 would, therefore, not be comparable to either the prior-year quarter or the previous quarter. For this r…
