SELL: STARBUCKS CORPORATION (SBUX) Rating: 3
Start Price: $40.35
Points: -37.01
Created: 07/08/2011
Selling for 22X earnings which are growing at 12. Understand they are expanding overseas but it still feels this stock has gotten a bit ahead of itself. Fair value of 26 in my opinion

SELL: ZAGG INCORPORATED (ZAGG) Rating: 2
Start Price: $12.71
Points: +3.78
Created: 07/08/2011
I'll admit that I missed out on the move in this stock from as low as the mid 2's. But while the reason for my conviction back then was apparently misguided, I do not believe that to be the case at current valuations. I guess the short of it is that I just don't believe in the growth potential of the business. That and the fact that over the past year the company has been burning through cash leads me to believe that an equity raise or worse is in the offing. I see this going as far back as… More

BUY: NOKIA CP ADS (NOK) Rating: 3
Start Price: $5.88
Points: -56.07

I've been following this baby down since it started to look attractive to me in the mid 20's back in 2008. Thankfully, every time I put my finger on the "Submit Trade" button, something made me pull it off and say, let's wait just a little bit more....well no I think I'm tired of waiting. NOK still commands a third of the worldwide market for handset devices and it's partnership with MSFT for Windows Phone 7 alone should goose earnings somewhat in 2011/12. Add to that a boatload of cash and I'm… More

BUY: POWER-ONE INC. (PWER) Rating: 3
Start Price: $7.80
Points: -54.95
Created: 06/26/2011
A growing force in the power conversion and power management products for the renewable energy market. ROE is a hefty 75.8% versus an industry avg. of 17%. Revenues doubled in 2010 and while they will slow considerably from there in 011 there should still be growth in the 15 to 20% range over the next 2 - 3 years. Forward P/E is under 7 and the stock is down 40% from it's 52 week high. Looks like a ride back up to 12 is not out of the question.

Balance sheet restructuring is complete. That and the dividend reduction have been fully digested and HCBK should grow earnings in the vicinity of .90 for 2012. Dividend is still a fat 4% and the stock is down 37% ytd. Like it at this inflection point.

Growth in the Gorilla glass segment and new in building wireless wins should power continued Q/Q earnings growth through 2012. Down 25% off it's 52 high. A nice price at which to step into the pool.
