Anyone like this here?
I have 4k from 1.18... I think this will eventually turn and run big again..

Everything I look at with them is great except they screwed up the books and messed up earnings etc, so they will restate financials and get back on their feet. There are outstanding orders totaling over 1Billion for vehicles not to mention service from this company.

P/E is around 3
Market cap about 130 Mill here.

Conference call indicated at least 500 mill in revenue for 2008 alone. Undervalued?

Also participating in bid for their CHEETAH vehicle to replace all humvees as new JLTV!

Recently they received delisting notice, but so did NAVZ.pk and look at their share price (they do basically the same thing).

Just trying to think out loud and see what you guys think. Thanks. [BadOne]

Filing a shareholder class action lawsuit is routine. Winning a shareholder lawsuit is almost impossible. SEC and courts will not permit a shareholder lawsuit to proceed if the security in question (FRPT)is on the NASDAQ SHO list for the second time in less then 6 month and over 160 days in the last year! A company has no control if their securities are being used in a unintended manner. Naked shorts are not all illegal. But their effect on a security is a defense for lost shareholder value.

In addition, FRPT and their products may have been adversely affected by unlawful procurement practices. That is easy to document with a Senate investigation underway by Joe Biden and Ted Keneddy. People are under witness protection and a key figure in the events was recently removed from their position.

Undervalued still?
using 1x sales->
580 sales on books
100 reman
125 ridgeback
= 805m?

805m/63m = $12.77 pps

I'd say * $3 it is still a bit undervalued

And what is this investor looking at these days? Here are a few of his most recent calls on CAPS:

Company
Date Picked
Call
CAPS Rating

Applied Materials (Nasdaq: AMAT)
4/11/08
Outperform
****

Force Protection (Nasdaq: FRPT)
4/10/08
Outperform
***

Pride International
4/10/08
Outperform
*****

Data from CAPS.
Maybe not all of these picks will pan out, but each one is a good place to start further research. I decided to take a look at Force Protection.

From rags to riches and back
The story of Force Protection is tabloid material if I've ever seen it. Just back in January of 2007, the stock rose from the obscurity of the pink sheets to the far more prestigious Nasdaq. At the time, the company was leading the charge in outfitting vehicles for the military that could withstand the roadside explosives that have been so devastating in the Iraq war.

With its business success and shiny new Nasdaq listing came a tremendous run for the stock. Between early 2006 and mid-2007, the stock rose a jaw-dropping 3,000% as orders for vehicles rolled in and the company started turning a profit.

Alas, it wasn't to last. Competitors like Ceradyne and General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), with their eyes on fat defense contracts, soon began to give Force Protection a run for its money with competing products. And as if that weren't enough, the company stacked accounting problems and a fleeing management team on top of that.

Today, Force Protection is a shadow of what it was at its peak. It's behind on its financial reporting and receiving delisting notices. It's a pincushion for shareholder lawsuits. And it's trading at a mere $3 per share. Sure, its forward P/E multiple may be listed at under five, but it's clear that most investors are highly doubtful that it will be able to post the $0.72 that analysts expect in 2008.

But many investors on CAPS are looking past all of this. One such investor is costanostra, who gave Force Protection's stock the nod last week. He thinks the market has overblown the situation with management:

Force Protection has come under flack recently (no pun intended) due to some issues with management and various class action lawsuits. They've been criticized in the U.S. but it seems that overseas they are doing well. I would like to see some more contracts from this joint venture in the United Kingdom and possibly in China as they increase military spending. There will be strong demand for armored combat vehicles for years to come. I think management has an opportunity to turn this stock around.

So, what's your take on Force Protection? Get in the action by clicking over to CAPS. CAPS is absolutely free and already has over 96,000 stock pickers chipping in to find the best stocks out there.
