Home Solutions is actually a holding company
acquiring a variety of home renovation and
home repair companies, with emphasis on toxic
mold removal.
This is a start up company currently operating
in the red ink, this is, at a loss. However,
losses are very minor and show a strong
improving trend. It appears HOM has moved
into the black ink this new quarter, which is
in keeping with their trend. They should be
reporting a net profit next 10Q filing.
Be sure to read their SEC filings. Some
lawsuits are active but appear to be a
"clean up" of those companies they have
acquired. This is positive despite legal
problems.
HOM is about to acquire another company which
appears to be very profitable, based on recent
statements released.
I would consider HOM to be a renewable product
because there is a good market in home repair.
My personal projection is HOM will break
3.00 per share within six months and might
break 4.00 per share in one year.
Current entry price is 1.74 to 1.78 and rising.
Never buy, sell nor hold based on my opinions.
I could wrong. You could lose money. Be sure
to perform extensive research, consider all
data careful and make a prudent decision.
You could lose money. Be careful.

Net Income (loss)
Year 2002 255,000
Year 2003 119,000
That should be:
Net Income (loss)
Year 2002 (255,000)
Year 2003 (119,000)
Be sure you note this. They are operating
at a loss but with an improving trend.
Purl Gurl
Still a good buy at those prices. Looks
like HOM may move a little faster than
my projections, least for short term.
Next serious obstacle will be 2.00 per.
Be careful. As you know I could be very
wrong on this stock. It is very possible
I am leading you to loss of money. Do
your research, make careful decisions.
Do NOT give too much credit to articles
I provide. I make mistakes, often!
Just yesterday Diana saved me from a lot
of loss. Sometimes, I make bad choices.
Purl Gurl
I am guesstimating HOM will break 2.00 per
share late next week and hold.
For those who bought in, you have a bit
of good news to compensate for all the
red ink this week.
Always remember I am not a professional
investor and what I write is only opinion.
I could be wrong. Following my opinions
could lead you to loss of money. I sure
hope not!
Purl Gurl
Doubt this will hold today but should
hold by the end of this week.
You are up anywhere from .20 to .25 per
share on HOM. Not bad for only seven to
ten days. I anticipate HOM to continue
to slowly climb in value over the next
couple of months.
Purl Gurl
Looks those of us who bought at my original
profile are up a good twenty-five cents per
share, and climbing!
I sure hope this proves to be a winner.
Don't allow me to mislead you. There is
always a chance prices will fall.
Purl Gurl
Not bad! A gain of thirty cents per share
in less than two weeks!

"Home Solutions Closes $12 Million Florida Acquisition"
Look for a modest increase in share value,
perhaps 2.08 to 2.12 per share. This news
will help to keep HOM over 2.00 per share.
Purl Gurl
Yes, the AMEX crashing today did have an
effect on HOM. Before the bell trading
was at 2.10 per share up until the crash.
Market Makers were preparing to manipulate
prices, things went south, some low bids
and asks became "hung" in the system. When
AMEX came back up, prices were all messed up.
At least one Market Maker was burnt because
of his low ask price (manipulation) which
someone grabbed, then prices jumped.
So today's news never really had a chance
to kick in; none could buy nor sell.
My personal projection is HOM will exceed
3.00 per share within three to six months.
In one year, 4.00 per share is likely.
HOM is quickly moving from red ink into
black ink. Next 10Q filing should be
fairly decent. These companies they have
acquired appear to be profitable lending
well to a good 10Q filing.
Home repair is a "renewable product" in
a sense because there is never a lack
of business. This Florida acquisition
should prove very decent. Florida is
populated by retired people with lots
of time, lots of money, and home repair
and improvement is a favorite activity
amongst that age group.
Recent profits coming out of California
for their Condo project will be quite
a boost for their 10Q as well.
Personally, I see nothing but slow steady
upward price motions, on the average.
We will hold this one for the long term.

Home Solutions of America, a niche provider
of specialty residential services, announced
today financial expectations for its first
quarter ending March 31, 2004 and full year
ending December 31, 2004. The Company expects
first quarter revenues of between $5.5 million
and $6.0 million and net income of $0.02 to
$0.03 per share. For the full year, Home
Solutions anticipates revenues of between $29
million and $31 million and net income of
$0.10 to $0.14 per share. Home Solutions
expects to generate between $4.0 million and
$4.5 million in EBITDA for full year 2004. The
Company does not expect to pay federal taxes
in 2004, utilizing its tax loss carry-forwards.
Upward pressure continues to build nicely.
HOM should continue to rise in value.

Picked up an additional five-thousand shares
late today. This is my first major buy in
these bad market conditions.
Very high risks because of market conditions,
low volume stock, but does appear to be ready
to bounce off bottom support.
Be careful. I cannot make any accurate
projections under these market conditions.
You could easily lose money.
Purl Gurl
Technical charts strongly indicate this
is it; lowest possible prices. HOM is
at its 52 week low. Very doubtful a
new low will be set, save for falling
a couple of cents below that today.
Two of the three Market Makers working
HOM, are the same two who shorted RNDC
so severely a few weeks back. This time,
I think (hope) I have jumped in at the
lowest point of shorting. Should be
according to technicals.
HOM does have decent financials and their
future projection is very good although
I tend to discount projections somewhat.
Nonetheless, they have a history of moving
strongly from losses to profits, rather
fast for a new company. Fundamentals are
very positive.
Filings show they are working on paying
off debt which is a positive signal.
I am very surprised HOM dropped this far.
Along with good fundamentals, Peter Leeds
is featuring HOM at his site.
Really should not be surprised, though.
I am watching other stocks which are
taking a worse beating, lot worse.
Pushing my luck here, purely a technical
analysis play, with fingers crossed for
a bit of good luck.
For casual readers, a bit of background
detail on what I am really doing, which
might help new investors to understand
some strategies during bad markets.
I sold all of my RNDC today, for a very
small profit, a few hundred, to release
eleven-thousand in cash to put that money
to better use rather than wait for profit.
Previously, I was caught offguard with RNDC,
which has excellent financials. Bought at
what appeared to be a very low price. Later,
Market Makers shorted it something awful.
At close to bottom short prices, I dumped
six-thousand into RNDC to average down,
which paid off by allowing me to escape
without any loss, with a tiny profit.
I chose today because of severe low prices
for HOM, in which I was already vested,
and RNDC prices seem to be stuck for now,
although I expect mild growth in the
coming weeks.
RNDC came first because of a higher amount
of money invested with greater potential
for losses. HOM is next because of a lesser
amount of vested money, thus losses would
be lower. Triage, worst injury first.
Releasing that eleven-thousand allowed me
to average down my buy price for HOM by
sixty-three percent, placing my current
buy price below the historical support
price around 1.50 to 1.55 per share.
In summary, I am working on cutting losses
by averaging down one stock, breaking even,
then rolling over into the next worst stock
to average down, with hopes of at least
breaking even on it.
No profits in this but losses can be reduced
to zero or maybe a profit of a few hundred.
This is a strategy to manage your money in
times of bad market conditions. In a sense,
you do profit by not taking terrible losses.
Kinda like being set back to square one and
starting over again.
There are risks, but moderately acceptable.
Prices could continue to fall but this is
countered by having averaged down. Volume
could drop off making it difficult dump
at a price you want. Another risk is the
more shares you have, the faster growth
in your losses or in your profits.
Biggest risk is being afraid to dump
on falling prices after averaging down.
Once you have averaged down, never hold
with hopes falling prices will rise,
don't chase prices downward; simply
jump out and move on.
An annoying risk is prices on a stock you
averaged down and sold to break even, those
prices may suddenly skyrocket, and usually
do about the time you sell!
Money management, art of making profits
and reducing losses. Both are of great
value to investors. Both are profits.

Although still red ink, they do have a
good track record of strong growth and
prudent business decisions.
I am very much anticipating their next
10Q filing, and continue to accumulate
in anticipation.
Pretty sure HOM will be back to the 1.80
to 1.90 per share range, in the near term.

Mild increase in losses in keeping with their
aggressive acquisition of other companies.
Significant increase in cash flow, with a
very good future prospect.

Apr 12, 2004 Home Solutions of America...
announced today that its backlog has
increased 40% for the remaining nine months
of its fiscal 2004 year...Significant orders
are being received from nationally recognized
homebuilders, fueling this increase.
The Company's Specialty Interior Segment,
which includes the recently completed Southern
Exposure acquisition, is experiencing strong
demand in its Florida marketplace.
"...is poised to show approximately 20% annual
organic revenue growth over the next few
years...."
Go figure.

I have to sit down and read it over, but the initial numbers: revenue way up to $14M, but costs also up for a net (702).
