these are ones you mentioned previously, any thoughts on these?
[he said hopefully, really hoping that some discord in the CLSI thread has not driven Queen Bee and her keen mind and wit away from allstocks yet again...]
here's to hoping you stick around, hey you can even quiz me and give me "homework" assignments.
i've looked into these a bit already, still in early stages of research on them. btw, i like your pro/con/summary format so much that i always use that format whenever i email about stocks to my brother and dad, i find it a good way to break things down.

well, this thread didn't exacty turn out like i had hoped, *sigh*. aren't 11 million "MSEP To The Moon" threads enough?
i even had Apache problems at work today with a new version control program install, bet you would have had that fixed in 3 seconds Purl, heh.
quite a day for GAXI. have to admit, as a pro-environment liberal, it bugs me a little to invest in them - just can't do it. it's sad what CBM has done to Wyoming, the "dewatering" leaves a lot to be desired and destroys large tracts of land, enough to bring a tear of joy to Dick Cheney's eye and warm his heart to 1 degree Kelvin.
will be interesting to see the "Viper" effect on EYDY, watching them. BLLI also looking quite strong lately.

Blue, don't ya just get agitated when people turn your thread into a cluster fu*k?
Only stock you are looking at, I am looking at, which is not behaving as I would like, is HUSA. There just isn't any volume at all. A few others are very low volume but beginning to perk up.
BLLI - this was a bandwagon stock once, some pumped it successfully. However, BLLI has improved a lot. They make dental tools and dental implants, and are showing an improving trend. They have made a good transition from red ink to black ink. They are just barely into black ink and improving. Volume is up over last year, average price is up over last year.
CYRO - makers of television graphics programs. They have some big names as clients and lots of network television stations. When you see graphics on the news, that is CYRO software. They moved from red ink last year to black ink this year. Prices are up five cents per share, average, but low volume.
DFNS - defense industry, mostly body armor. They also moved from red ink last year to black ink this year. Prices moved from .45 to .85 last year and now are 1.10 on the average.
EYDY - they make "eye scanners" for medical and law enforcement usage. EYDY has a history of good black ink but very low volume. Last year an average price of .50 per and now .30 to .35 average. They are undervalued, but revenue is down a bit for 2004 year, which seems to have dropped their value.
GAXI - as you know it jumped .18 today. I don't need to write more. Perhaps some jumped in on this one when I mentioned it.
HUSA - oil and gas, reminds me of GUSH which became CNR stock. Undervalued, went from red ink to black ink over the past year, mild profits, and yet zero volume; no trading to speak of. Real odd.
IDIB and KPCG, I keep thinking investors will eventually discover these. Both are undervalued black ink companies with virtually no volume. Reminds of my BSIC pick two years back at .25 per share, now at 2.00 per share. BSIS was black ink, no volume, I brought attention to it, took a year but others finally caught on; now up a good eight-hundred percent. IDIB and KPCG have potential for a one-hundred percent increase if investors take notice of these companies.
MCZ - Mad Cats! They are simply a hot skyrocket!
PTSC - not sure where they are headed. I expected a lot more action with their AMD deal news. Kinda sputtered and went out.
Blue, I always read your articles, Keithsan, Glassman and a few others. You are making what I believe to be good picks. I hoped you picked some of GAXI and MCZ before the big rush.
Now your thread is back on topic. I hope the pump and dump people take it elsewhere; reminds of IBZT zombies jumping into every single thread.

Blue, I will add some trivia for GAXI stock.
Think it was two years back, maybe eighteen months back, I warned people here to stay away from GAXI stock because a "bubble burst" was in the making.
GAXI was picked to be included in the S&P 500 which most thought was the best good news that could be, which isn't true at all. The S&P is just an index of good and bad stocks.
Well, GAXI sky rocketed on nothing news, I warned others to stay away from it, the bubble burst and prices fell to rock bottom.
Since then, GAXI has improved their bottom line, a lot thanks to higher energy costs. Nonetheless a good move from red ink to black ink. Their increasing prices, this time, are warranted; there is no gullible investor "bubble" now.
I should add I dumped IESV for a good profit. You might want to watch IESV and wait for prices to fall back, which they will. Another few weeks, IESV will fall below its true value, then correct upward. I will buy IESV again without hesitation.
If you have ALMI, do not sell it. ALMI will keep going up, with periodic dips in prices. ALMI is good for a buck fifty at least. I am thinking once they really get going, they will be hitting the three to five dollar range. ALMI has yet to truly market any of their clay; test market only at this point.

Thanks for responding Purl, glad to see this thread back on track.
I have looked into all these companies you recommended, still researching though. Will post a few more comments here later, once have a little more edgar online reading done.
EYDY I find particularly interesting. They definitely tailed off after disappointing revenue the last few Q's, but - definitely seem to be undervalued. They seem very positive about their future and Viper and all that, it's also somewhat amusing that they seem hellbent on maintaining a 50% profit margin, they mention that several times in their filings. The question is - is this hype or overly positive thinking on their part, or truly to be believed? Of course I like that they are in good financial shape, paying off debts early and the like. I travel out to Torrance somewhat frequently on business, might stop by there if I get a minute in the upcoming months. I suspect they will dip a little further before doing up, but - that's just my guess, what do I know.
HUSA i have a lowball limit order out on, no fill yet though.
PTSC i picked up a little at .16 on a recent dip, just a very little though, ie - only 3k shares worth, probably won't go higher.
I just mentioned in the IESV thread before I read your post - I sold it but too early - only took .155, oh well. Bought half a position back at .125, have an order for the other half at .105, we'll see. Fundamentals would seem to indicate a consolidation period - they haven't talked about real $$$ numbers in their recent PR's, but - chart seems very bullish. We'll see, tough to call so I split the difference.
ALMI I don't even have on my ticker anymore, some days I even forget to check what it closed at. The part I am still holding, I have no plan on selling anytime soon.
Today I also added some CXTI at .98, EZEN at 1.02, some more NXG at 1.60, and more BWLRF at .59 to go with some HQSM at .26 yesterday. I completely missed the CNR tank to 1.50ish today, would have added, d'oh!! Dunno how I missed that one, still kicking myself, oh well. I sold FPPC and ASPN too early, oh well.
Like you, I'm a fan of BSIC and held it for quite awhile, but - I sold that one way too early too, can't believe it hit $2. I also foolishly sold DGIX at $1, has been a month of "selling too early" for me, I need to learn to hold on longer.

Blue, you and other readers will notice my attention is on companies moving from red ink to black ink, very recently, like from last year to this year.
Last year, the stock markets were absolutely boring, just nothing going on, save for a noticable fall in share value, across the board, during February and March of last year. All-in-all, a big yawn mediocre boring year with flattening revenues.
The hot speculative markets of 2003 are long gone and now we have to really research to find anything of interest.
My rationale for this investment year is those companies which managed to move out of red ink last year and into black ink this year, are the stronger "penny stock" companies. Being able to improve during last year, is quite a feat and reflects a good management team.
Speculation is out, good fundamentals are in.
I believe those companies right on the verge of or just now moving into black ink, will be the winners for this year, and represent good buys with share prices still low and company value still undervalued; we are right on the edge of mildly improving markets.
Being diversified will be more important than norm.
My opinion is companies involved in raw materials will do the best, followed closely by service industries, with entertainment companies coming in next. High end technologies, electronics, big televisions, even cell phones, I think will be very flat or even move into losses.
These are times people are looking for stability and are looking to stay home or enjoy inexpensive entertainment close to home. These are times people are hesitant to spend much money; basic needs will be and are the most important.
This moves over into the investment community as well. Many of us are looking for safe profitable companies which move at a slower predictable rate for growth and profit.
Highest risk I am willing to take for these times of war, uncertainty, high energy costs and times of a very worried public, highest risk I will take is on those companies just now moving from red ink to black ink.
Just noticed you are back. Sure did miss you! Very pleased!!!!! Sure do hope you weren't ill or something else serious.

"now we have to really research to find anything of interest". interesting thoughts, Purl - I've seen a lot of similar feelings out there, that things are harder now. most people in this "game" for awhile seem to be of the opinion that it was easier to find undiscovered, undervalued gems 2-3-4 years ago than it has been lately. in some part due to the economy (as your above post touched on), in some part due to perhaps more people digging so that market inefficiencies are corrected more quickly and undervalued stocks are quickly bought up.
i've only been at this one year, so - hard for me to comment, i just don't have a long enough baseline.

dang it, which one of you guys ran up EYDY today before i had a chance to get in?!? heh
"These are times people are hesitant to spend much money; basic needs will be and are the most important."
This, I mostly agree with PG, but - actually I am still somewhat bullish on some luxury items, thanks to the bush/cheney tax philosophies. The top .01% wealthiest should, relatively speaking, have some money to spare under this administration. A few luxury-selling companies I still like, and I just bought some JMIH at .27 this week in fact (boats).

Wallace, I have been in jail for the past year.
Early last year I decided to drive up the share price of CLSI, Clancy Parking Systems, by cutting the heads off all the parking meters here in our hometown. Darn it, didn't help CLSI stock at all.
Anyhow, my friends now call me "Cool Hand Lucy" which you may do as well.
I don't believe a word of the above, but if it is true, I don't give a damn! Still like you and your wit!

buy order out for IDIB.OB at .42, no fill yet but maybe soon. no fill yet on CLSI at .017 either. GAXI all over the map today but nice recovery. still watching EYDY, short-term seems to be pointing down, hoping to catch some sub-.30, we'll see. can't believe i sold all my GEOI at $4, d'oh! still trying to accumulate more CXTI at .95 - i think the market has overly poo-poo'd their .28/sh 2004 earnings, i think they will continue to get contracts. we'll see.
Queen Parking Bee said:
"companies involved in raw materials will do the best"
any in particular - ie, raw materials, and/or companies? i assume in part you mean oil and gas, do you also mean things like copper, etc.? any particular favorites?
i have to say that i definitely have a commodities bent, and a full third+ of my holdings at the moment are in raw materials of one kind or another, everything from oil and gas to various metals (NTO, NXG, BWLRF, EDV.TO etc) to of course, halloysite clay, heh
have you ever called the wolfsons, PG? i was thinking of giving liz a call next week.

GEOI crossed $7 today, *sigh*. really surprised by the CXTI tank today, bought a little at .90, or about 3x last year's earnings. also added IPII at 1.52. NTO and ALMI, very nice days. still watching EYDY, still no fill on IDIB and CLSI limit buys - and, actually sitting above the bid all day. support looking pretty strong for IDIB at .41 range, risk seems fairly minimal from .42 range if you ask me. any thoughts on CNR, PG? i know they were one of your favorites back as GUSH, but haven't heard your opinion of them for almost a year now.

Cuttin those heads off those meters may not have helped CSI, but they are still a solid growing company.

great day for EZEN so i'm happy overall, but i can't figure out why CXTI appears "broken".
.33 a share profit in 2004, good balance sheet and future prospects, and they can't even hold $1. doesn't make sense to me. i'm going to hold out of sheer stubborness, but - i just don't get why this is, maybe someone can explain to me...? is it just a lack of trust by investors for any chinese company, no matter how many US auditors verify their books?
is kind of too bad because there are a lot of chinese companies i really like and that look quite promising, so much growth potential there. but - seemingly every one just never moves, no matter how good the news.

will continue to chat with myself here, what the heck. bugged me to do it, but - CXTI is just "broken", took 1.08 and sold it all today. also sold my EZEN, will look to buy back if consolidates a bit from gains. added some more IPII at 1.52 today. still no IDIB fill at .41. CLSI looked slightly perky today. dang, HUSA is sparsely traded, no fill yet either. wondering about NTO's earnings tomorrow am, should be interesting. can't believe BSIC is closing in on $3 - as much as i like them, seems overvalued now.

did you let her back over you too? did she go back and forth a few times, or just the one time straight forward? (damn that sounds good...) 'bout how fast was she going, if you know...? did this take place.. (pants).. in a....(whispers..) in a parking lot?

hope i can get my ipii back, i always sell too early - we'll see. looks good to me: trailing P/E around 7, business should be good with building supplies in florida due to hurricane rebuilding.
finally got some IDIB at .41 today.
lousy day for NTO, eck. luckily a good day for my other gold stocks. NTO i really don't care about short-term movements - is all in my roth, i want to see where they are 5-6 years from now when agua rica is in full swing. i could be wrong, but - i can't believe they'll be a $3 stock at that point.
put a fork in PTSC, ouch on today's ruling - thank goodness i only had a teeny position.
GAXI seems to have lost some momentum, still on the sidelines watching. you holding or folding, PG?

energy got hammered today, ouch! was looking for sale prices, picked up some CNR at 1.60, my limit buy for GAXI at 1.75 never filled though.
BSIC absolutely *crushed* today, and i can't say i'm surprised. one of my favorite stocks, but...$3??? they're just not worth $3, at least right now.

Blue, I moved us out of "oil" stocks middle of last year. I have kept our natural gas holdings, especially DVPC stock.
Yes, BSIC is overvalued by sixty-six percent. The others, CNR, GAXI, same overvaluation. Just another "oil bubble burst" in the making. People should have jumped out back in January to be safe.
President Cheney, who some call Bush, has totally ruined the oil markets at the expense of consumers so he can create environmental disasters, especially in Alaska which he has slated to become a tar pit, then later claim to have created new jobs. Forgot the billions in environmental damage and clean-up in years to come. Hey, he created a half-million dollars in jobs and will spend ten-billion in ten years to clean up the mess.
PTSC is running around in circles. I almost jumped on it a few days back when the court news came out to ride a rebound, but no rebound at all. Nothing stocks shares going around in circles.
Stock markets have had it. This will be another really bad year because of high oil prices, which are a direct result of republican policies.
I'm cashing out once again, save for a few natural gas stocks. That cash, like last year, is going into wet California real estate.

eh drats, hope that doesn't return your return here was a brief one.
my problem with junior oils was that i sold every one too early: BSIC, FPPC, TGA, CNR, ASPN, you name it. shoulda held 2 more weeks, *sigh*. eh oh well, i'm somewhat of a chicken. big energy i am still holding - COP, CVX, and FDG, sold the rest. i find it hard to sell these with oil at 55. i'm wary of a bubble, but - think they might have a tad further to go, we'll see.
DVPC i remember you discussing a year ago, will look into again. any other natural gas that you still like?
i'm somewhat bearish about the overall market, but - that doesn't mean i'm not finding stocks i like at reasonable prices. was surprised to get PDGE at 1.47 today, somewhat similar company to HOM. HOM i've continuously churned through the "buy at 1.48 sell at 1.62" cycle over and over this year, but - this time am holding until the earnings.
some foreign stocks are also appealing to me and starting to look into, ie - NAM.AX. just wish they were easier/cheaper to buy.
