Buy some LSI shares follow my TA model alert. Very good bottom formed with good earning recently.
LSI is well positioned to extend its leadership role in the storage market. In the RAID segment, its 1078 system chip continues to exceed expectations in both silicon readiness and in execution. Design wins for next-generation connectivity products (serial attached SCSI) continue to rise at a brisk pace, which augurs well for this quickly growing market. LSI is doing well in the RAID host bus adapter area, as well. As business in the white box server market grows, it should yield incrementally higher margins. New product releases should help boost revenues on the storage system side, too.
LSI's investments in the consumer business should pay off. This unit experienced robust gains of 22%, year over year, in the June quarter, and new orders here promise further strength ahead. The DVD recorder market should be a big boon. Analysts look for this market to double in 2005, with LSI taking about a 45%-50% share. Design wins for its single-chip processor designed for combination units, which contain both a DVD recorder and a DVR (uses a hard drive), have been good. Analysts look for this market to grow substantially over the next 12 months.
RapidChip (RC) seems to be gaining traction. This line combines the high-performance benefits of ASIC chips with the quick time-to-market and customization attributes of field-programmable gate arrays. The affordability of RC should make it a hit with small and mid-sized businesses. Larger customers, too, appear to be interested in using RC as a development platform. They would still switch over to ASIC at some point, but be able to reach full-volume production in a fraction of the time. Analysts look for RC volume to ramp up in the coming quarters.
Profitability should rise. R&D will probably remain high, but the operating line should benefit from lower SG&A outlays. A reduction in depreciation expense is probable, too, due to the impairment of the Gresham facility. All told, share profits should make sizable gains in 2005 and 2006.
Timely LSI stock has strong appeal, thanks to the good earnings growth prospects. If LSI rebounce, it maybe test $10 soon.

Steelcase's Think(R) Chair Wins the Design for Asia Award
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Steelcase Inc. , a global office environments manufacturer, today announced that it has been selected as a recipient of the 2005 Design for Asia Award, an international design competition sponsored by the Hong Kong Design Centre, that awards companies for designs that reflect, or have an impact on, the Asian lifestyle. Steelcase received this distinction for the Think(R) chair - a smart, simple and environmentally sustainable seating product.
Created in collaboration with designer Glen Oliver Low, McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry and the Institute for Product Development in Copenhagen, the Think chair conforms to the highest environmental standards and raises the bar in cradle-to-cradle design and life-cycle thinking. Think addresses the growing need for ergonomic seating and was lauded at the Design for Asia Awards ceremony as an outstanding achievement in design.
The Think chair provides ultimate support for a full range of postures, allowing users to stay focused without distraction or fatigue. Combined with an elegant and innovative design, the Think chair also adheres to the toughest environmental standards, including Japan's "Green Purchasing Law," which was designed to increase the percentage of materials and parts that have a reduced environmental impact and have the ability to be completely recycled (cradle- to-grave development process).
"It is an honor to receive the Design for Asia Award, which is recognized as one of the most prestigious international awards in design," said James Ludwig, Director of Design for Steelcase. "This award pays tribute to Steelcase's ability to create user-centered products that combine aesthetic appeal with function and environmental sensibility, attributes that are extremely important to the Asian market."
The Think chair officially launched in Asia in March 2005 and was met with great success. The chair experienced double digit growth in Japan this year and Steelcase expects similar growth in the Asian market over the next few years. Based on the chair's success in Asia and North America, the Think chair also debuted in Australia this past August.
The Design for Asia Award is dedicated to promoting design excellence and seeks to raise awareness that good design is an important factor for business success. Judged on the design's excellence, its impact and influence within Asia and on Asian lifestyles, and the commercial success of the design, Steelcase's Think chair was chosen from over 500 entries (including apparel and accessories, communication, interior/spatial, and product designs) from North America, Europe and Asia.

CHB, a Hurricane play, easy money here. Now the whole Louisiana (and some other states) need to be rebuilted in a short time under government's funding. The demand side on the factory-built homes is enormous (more than you can imagine).CHB is the number one factory-built homes company and has strong relationship with government. I bet most of the factory-built homes order will give to CHB.
Here is the proof: CHB recently received a $60 million order for 2,000 single-section manufactured homes from FEMA, in connection with Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, which should lift CHB's top and bottom lines during the final stanza of 2005. Excluding the FEMA order, Champion's backlog at the end of the third quarter was up 47%, relative to the year-ago figure. However, with the FEMA request taken into account, third-quarter backlog jumped an impressive 97%.
I will say even $30 for CHB won't suprise me. It is so cheap here, good time to buy.

$2 for a Pillow? Pillow can tell the story about the efficiency. LUV is still the best discount airline in US.
The legacy airlines have become no-frill airlines while the discounters such as Southwest Airlines and jetBlue Airways now offer more perks and free services. For example, most domestic flights on American, Northwest and Delta Air Lines don't have pillows anymore. But Southwest does.
The Middle Seat: Latest Inflight Fee: $2 for a Pillow --- Fuel Costs, Competition Spur Airlines to Yank More Perks And Add Even More Fees
By Scott McCartney 894 words 22 November 2005 The Wall Street Journal D5 English (Copyright (c) 2005, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)
THE FEE FRENZY at many big U.S. airlines is increasing: as of this month, a pillow on most Air Canada flights costs you $2. And a seat in the exit row (with more leg room) on most United flights now has a price tag of between $24 and $99, unless you're an elite-level frequent flier.
That isn't all. It costs $2 (plus tip) to use the services of a skycap to check a bag at some airports on American Airlines, UAL Corp.'s United Airlines, Northwest Airlines, US Airways and Alaska Airlines, a division of Alaska Air Group Inc. Northwest is charging $1 for some trail mix to go with your beverage. Both American and Northwest have stopped serving pretzels to coach passengers on many domestic flights. And keep your wallet handy when you head to the airport this Thanksgiving -- several carriers recently started charging $25 to confirm a seat on a different flight if you want to get home early.
Big carriers once positioned as full-service providers have slashed amenities for coach passengers and found more services for which they can charge added fees. With fuel prices high and fare prices low, big airlines have continued to pile up billions in losses despite slashing billions of costs from their operations through lower pay, less-expensive airplane leases and more productivity. So they are seeking added revenue wherever they can.
As a result, the legacy airlines have become no-frill airlines while the discounters such as Southwest Airlines and jetBlue Airways now offer more perks and free services. For example, most domestic flights on American, Northwest and Delta Air Lines don't have pillows anymore. But Southwest does.

Plasticon International (PLNI) - here's the deal.........................
PLNI will put out no PR this week..!!! They are editing all the video and pictures from their acquisitions & deals trip to St Louis, Las Vegas, and Atlanta - and it will all be on the website next week.
IMHO a flood of PR and positive investor information will start next week and this stock will soar. If you don't finish out your collection on Wednesday and Friday, them make sure to buy a new pair of running shoes during the post-Thanksgiving Day SALES....

Apex Resources Group (APXR) - here's the deal..............
Apex has wells, properties and rights along the MacKenzie Gas Pipeline in Canada. They are a grossly ripe Buy-Out target by either a Chinese or domestic oil giant.
Final approvals of the pipeline should be announced any day. APXR should have News out this week. And, the PPS is a steal at today's prices.
DYODD or DYOBooHoo - major-major opportunity here, IMHO. See the APXR Threads on Allstocks and elsewhere.
Apex Resources Group Inc. (OTCBB APXR): is a development stage company. It was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on January 27, 1984. The Registrant was initially organized primarily to hold overriding royalties of both producing and non-producing oil and gas properties. However, the Company's articles of incorporation authorize it to engage in all aspects of the oil and gas business and for any other lawful purpose. Website:http://www.ambraresources.com/

"..Hot Ziggity-Diggity..", they're talking about PLNI on The Motley Fool now...!!!
An Exciting Penny Stock By Selena Maranjian (TMF Selena) November 4, 2005
A month or so ago, I wrote an article on penny stocks, advising readers, as I've often done, to consider steering clear. I received a thoughtful response from a reader and thought I'd share it with you. Jeffrey T. said:
"I found your Motley Fool article on penny stocks nearly right on the money ... however, not ALL penny stocks are scams. Take Plasticon International (OTCBB: PLNI), for example. They are a fledgling company utilizing recycled plastic to manufacture concrete building products such as rebar supports and, coming soon, plastic rebar. With the future rebuilding efforts after Hurricanes Rita and Katrina, alternatives to steel products will be sought. Add to this, the company has recently acquired a company specializing in concrete sealing. This product along with the rebar supports can easily add YEARS to the life of bridges and buildings, by reducing the amount of decay from environmental impacts and corrosion. I would like to see you do a follow up story to the one you recently wrote, and highlight that there do exist some DIAMONDS in the pile of shiny rocks as you so appropriately quoted!"
Jeff, your wish is my command. There surely are some diamonds in the pile of penny stocks -- I'll concede that point immediately. The problem is, they're not so easy to find, and I'm not even sure that you've found one in Plasticon.
Plasticon's green flags Your email did make Plasticon sound quite enticing, so I tried to look up information on it. I struck out at my usual sources of quick data, such as our own Quotes and Data area and even Yahoo!'s offerings. The place where I found the most information was Plasticon's website. There, I learned that:
The firm is 17 years old.
Its "line of patented, plastic concrete accessories has been approved or accepted in all 50 states and several foreign countries including Poland, Israel, Canada, Mexico, and Egypt. In addition, its transportation signage has received DOT approval or acceptance in all 50 states."
It has recently dramatically increased production capacity to $20 million in annual sales -- and up to $30 million, soon.
The market for rebar supports was $27 billion back in 1993, suggesting that there's plenty of money to be made if Plasticon's plastic rebar is accepted and purchased.
Plastic lumber sales in the United States are growing at 40% per year. I've seen plenty of plastic lumber and am impressed with it. Tom Gardner even recommended plastic lumber maker Trex (NYSE: TWP) in our Stock Advisor newsletter. (Though its stock has been having a bad year.)
A link to a profile of the company in a newspaper reported that the firm's products are used in all 50 states, and in more than 200 bridges across the nation, as well as elsewhere. Also, the firm has received patents valued at over $20 million and has an inventory of injection molds valued at over $10 million. (Inventory, like patents, isn't necessarily a good thing, unless it's put to good use.)
The firm is planning to buy back shares -- some 200 million to begin with -- which can boost the share price. Plasticon's red flags The only trouble is, despite all this information, I didn't see some of the info I was seeking. Specifically, I couldn't find:
Copies of quarterly and annual financial reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Reports on just how much money the company has taken in in revenues over the past years and quarters, and how much it has kept as profits. (One press release listed on the company website had a headline that said "Plasticon Announces Company is Profitable as of Second Quarter 2005," but the link to the article was no longer working.)
Reports on the company's financial health. For example, how much debt does it have, and how much cash? Sometimes terrific companies crash because they can't service their debt or just don't have enough money to keep the machinery running long enough to make money. This is pretty standard stuff for most publicly traded companies. For example, a quick trip to the website of Buffalo Wild Wings (Nasdaq: BWLD), a $225 million company recommended in our Hidden Gems newsletter a few months ago, offers links to annual reports and SEC filings, among other things. (Grab a painless free trial of Hidden Gems and see what other small, dynamic firms we've recommended.) It's the same with $650 million Rule Breakers recommendation Myriad Genetics (Nasdaq: MYGN), which is up some 14% since being featured a few months ago. (Try Rule Breakers for free and see the whole list of recommended stocks.)
There's other information I'd want before I'd consider investing in this firm, too. For example, who are its competitors and how are they doing?
Above all, I'm left wondering why the company, if it's doing so well, isn't offering any data on its financial health and performance for investors and would-be investors. One might argue that such details might be hidden so as not to inform competitors, but still ....
I tried one last resort. I called the Investor Relations contact person listed on the website. I thought I'd gotten the wrong number at first, though, because the call was answered by a Florida-based consulting company, which apparently handles investor relations issues for the Kentucky-based Plasticon. Regardless, I asked the fellow to send me the company's latest financial statements -- and was told he couldn't. He said they would be available in the near future, and that he'd send them to me. This was a week or two ago, and all I received was a press release announcing that "Plasticon Transfers Wholly Owned Inventory of Injection Molds to New Production Facility" and "Injection Molds Have Been Independently Valued at $10 Million." I even asked for past reports, while I wait for the latest ones. That went nowhere, too -- they simply weren't available.
In a nutshell I've seen, read and heard enough about Plasticon now to make me not want to invest in it. This could end up being one of many investments and non-investments I regret later, but that's OK.
The company's market cap, or total market value, appears to be in the neighborhood of $15 million. That's pretty darn tiny. A simple, successful mom-and-pop store down the street might carry such a value. The stock price is a mere penny per share. If the firm is really doing so well, why are the stock price and market value so low?
I remain committed to my belief that most stocks valued at less than $5 per share carry such low prices for good reasons. These "penny stocks" tend to be volatile and are easy to manipulate and lose money on. Basically, I'd rather invest in firms with established and impressive track records and more transparent finances. If Plasticon one day offers more data on itself, I'll be happy to take a closer look, since the company and the industry are quite intriguing.
In the meantime, there are lots (and lots) of more established and exciting companies. Even Tootsie Roll (NYSE: TR) is compelling -- as W. D. Crotty explained recently. He pointed out that had you invested $1,000 in Tootsie Roll back in 1957, you'd have more than a million dollars now, as its average compound growth rate over the period topped 16%. Then there's Avon (NYSE: AVP), which as M. D. Mitchell explained, is growing slowly but surely and may grow much more, thanks to a presence in China. And Stock Advisor selection 7-Eleven (NYSE: SE), which recently reported sales up 17% and profits up a whopping 54%. See? Lots of promising candidates for investments -- and they all have financial statements ready for your examination.
So am I here to slam Plasticon? Not at all. I just don't know enough about it, even though I tried to learn -- which is the problem. If you know more than I do about Plasticon, as you well might, I invite you to share more information on our discussion board.
KENTWOOD -- Kentwood Public Schools has to return $2 million in property taxes to Steelcase Inc. The district was ordered to do so by the Michigan Tax Tribunal. Steelcase argued city assessors overestimated the value of company properties. Of the $2 million, the school district will be reimbursed $1.433 million by the state, However, it still will lose $592,783 in interest and from debt, building and site funds. The practice of contesting property values has become increasingly common among businesses, and hurts cash- strapped districts and other institutions dependent on taxes, Assistant Superintendent Steve Zakem said.

Ravenswood Investment Company holding CHB position under its aggrasive growth investment stratergy.
DJ TIP SHEET: Ravenswood Investment Patiently Satisfies
By Alex Davidson Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES 675 words 22 November 2005 06:42 pm Dow Jones Chinese Financial Wire English Copyright (c) 2005, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Robert Robotti, managing member of The Ravenswood Investment Company, L.P, combines the aggressive nature of a hedge fund with the patience of a mutual fund to form a unique investment partnership.
Ravenswood, which includes an investment advisory business and a broker/dealer arm, acts like a hedge fund by buying stocks with the potential to double in three years, charging a performance fee and setting a minimum initial investment sum.
But Robotti said Ravenswood should not be lumped with other hedge funds because of its longer-term approach and multi-faceted operations.
'It is an investment partnership,' Robotti said. 'Ravenswood differs in many ways from the other investment partnerships that are multiplying the way the world fears the Asian bird flu might multiply.'
'Our investment approach is more sane and reasoned, and time tested as to produce returns above the indices with less volatility.'
Indeed, during the past three years as of Oct. 31, Ravenswood posted a net rate-of-return of 32%, compared with the S&P's 3.6% increase in the same period.
For the last 12 months, Ravenswood has a 31% return rate, versus the S&P's 11% rise, and the year-to-date net return for Ravenswood is 17%, ahead of the S&P's 1%.
As of June 31, Robotti said Ravenswood holds 81 positions with $169 million in assets, excluding holdings in pink sheets, cash and cash equivalents and foreign holdings.
To get to this point, Robotti said Ravenswood has focused on growth opportunities in industries like manufactured housing.
One company Ravenswood has bought a significant position in during the last two years is Decorator Industries Inc. (DII), listed on the American Stock Exchange. Ravenswood owns about 20% of the company and started buying shares when they were near the $2 level, below its current $8.
'We think the industry makes sense long term,' Robotti said. 'Where it is today, it's at the bottom of a cycle and we think there's room for improvement.'
Robotti said Decorator Industries has bounced back from a sector-wide depression along with its peers and is currently operating at 40% capacity with little debt - leaving a lot of room for the company, and investors, to benefit from improvements.
'The incremental kick to earnings will be very substantial' when the company's at higher capacity, Robotti said.
Other manufactured housing companies Ravenswood owns positions in include Fleetwood Enterprises Inc. (FLE), Champion Enterprises Inc. (CHB), Cavalier Homes Inc. (CAV) and Skyline Corp. (SKY).

Out all GYMB and ACN, double my position on LUV and FLEX and CHB.
Oil price down to $56 range, will go down more. Although LUV hedge the oil risk, the lower oil price will lift the airline sector in a certain level. The whole airline industry recovering since recently with summer oil crisis bursted.
FLEX will benifit on XBOX360 and Euro headset and cellphone companies' big order. And FLEX invest hefty in Indian and CHina to reduce the cost in order to keep the market shares and competition.
CHB received FNMA's contract shows the relationship with government. To rebuit some states within a short time is impossible unless use factory-built house and I believe this is what the government will do. CHB go to $30 won't surprise me at all.

Great news to Southwest Airline: Bush signs bill exempting Missouri from Wright Amendment.Southwest to Fight American On Dallas-to-Missouri Routes
By SAM HANANEL Associated Press Writer 482 words 30 November 2005 06:55 pm Associated Press Newswires English (c) 2005. The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
WASHINGTON (AP) - It's official -- Missourians are now free to fly to Dallas on Southwest Airlines.
President Bush signed a transportation bill Wednesday that allows air travel between Love Field airport in Dallas and points in Missouri for the first time since the Wright Amendment restricted flights 26 years ago.
Southwest officials are now rushing to add daily service from Love Field -- home base of the low-cost carrier -- to Kansas City and St. Louis. The airline is expected to announce details this week.
"It would certainly be our hope to get the service started by the end of the year," Southwest Airlines spokeswoman Beth Harbin said Wednesday. "It's exciting for Southwest and customers in Missouri who are finally going to get low-fare access to Dallas."
Harbin said the company already has an ad campaign in the works that's been waiting for the bill to be signed.
The Wright Amendment was designed to help growth at newer Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport -- home to American Airlines -- when it was built in the 1970s. The restriction said airlines at Love Field could only fly within Texas, its four neighboring states and Kansas, Mississippi and Alabama.
Earlier this year, Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., inserted a provision into the annual transportation spending bill making Missouri the ninth state to be exempt from the law.
The move is expected to bring dramatically lower air fares to Missouri, where Southwest is the largest carrier at Kansas City International Airport and the second largest at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.
Minutes after the bill-signing was official, American Airlines announced plans to compete with Southwest from up to three gates at Love Field.
"Following up on its recent meeting with Dallas Love Field Airport officials, American Airlines today formally notified the airport that it intends to start service from Love Field as soon as it can obtain and prepare appropriate facilities," American spokesman Tim Wagner said.
He said the airline would announce a schedule soon. The company has spent years fighting any repeal of the Wright Amendment, fearing it could lose hundreds of millions a year.
Wagner said opening up Love Field to Missouri flights is significant because many travelers from St. Louis and Kansas City visit the Dallas area and don't just connect with other flights.
"We are afraid those travelers will move over to Love Field because it is closer to downtown Dallas," Wagner said. "There's quite a bit of that local traffic. That's what we've said we'll need to protect."
American lowered its fares to St. Louis and Kansas City in early October, but Wagner said the move was unrelated to the Wright Amendment exemption. American now offers 11 daily flights from DFW to Kansas City and 13 to St. Louis.

US Airline Industry Poised For Upturn -Analyst
11-30-05 02:42 PM EST CHICAGO -(Dow Jones)- Having lost $22.3 billion since 2001, the U.S. airline industry now is ready to take off, thanks in part to this year's high fuel prices, according to a research analyst.
"Currently, we believe that the industry is at an inflection point, and could be positioned to accumulate substantial profits over the next couple of years," Stefan Lumiere, special situations analyst at Oscar Gruss & Son, a New York research firm, wrote Wednesday.
Airline passenger revenue hasn't kept pace with the economy, Lumiere wrote. Today, passenger revenue is 0.65% of U.S. GDP, down from 0.95% in 1995. Low-cost airlines have driven ticket prices down across the industry, the analyst said. Lower revenue left many of the major airlines vulnerable to the recent spike in the cost of jet fuel, forcing two of them into bankruptcy.
But, he said, "In addition to low-cost carriers, we believe that skyrocketing fuel prices have been a blessing in disguise for all carriers." The industry not only has cut costs quickly, but has raised ticket prices, he said.
Major airlines in bankruptcy, including United Air Lines, a unit of UAL Corp. (UALAQ), Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL) and Northwest Airlines Corp. (NWAC), along with US Airways (LCC), which recently emerged from Chapter 11 reorganization, have cut unprofitable routes and renegotiated expensive labor contracts. That's put them in a competitive position with low-cost leaders like Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) and JetBlue Airways Corp. (JBLU).
At the same time, consumers now believe that airlines need to raise fares to cover rising costs, Lumiere said. For the first time in a long while, higher airline ticket prices will "stick," he believes. "If energy prices subside, margins should expand, thereby resulting in greater profitability for the airlines."
Investors should keep some competitive issues in mind, Lumiere said. First, fuel hedges enjoyed by some airlines will gradually be rolling off, making a more level playing field for carriers like Southwest Airlines, which has enjoyed a significant fuel-cost advantage. But some carriers operate much more fuel- efficient fleets. JetBlue has the most efficient and the youngest fleet of all domestic carriers, Lumiere wrote.
Lumiere on Wednesday initiated coverage on most U.S. airlines and several foreign carriers. But, despite his bullish stance on the industry, he hasn't rated individual stocks. He said it would require more in-depth analysis of off- balance-sheet items and operations excluding hedging contracts, as well as a thorough examination of the indentures and covenants.

Southwest Airlines Announces New Nonstop Service From Dallas Love Field to Kansas City and St. Louis
12-01-05 10:10 AM EST | New Law Makes St. Louis and Kansas City Southwest's First New Nonstop Routes From Love Field in 25 Years
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- President George W. Bush recently signed a transportation appropriations bill containing language that exempts Missouri from federal restrictions placed on Dallas' Love Field airport. This exemption now makes it possible for Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV), the signature carrier at Love Field, to initiate new nonstop jet service from Dallas to its Missouri operations in Kansas City and St. Louis.
Southwest will start service to St. Louis and Kansas City from Dallas on Dec. 13, 2005, with four daily nonstop flights to each city. The one-way fare from Dallas to either city will be just $79 with 14-day advance purchase. The unrestricted "walk-up" fare is just $129 each way, compared to fares as high as $599 each way on American Airlines.
"Southwest Airlines has served Missouri for more than 20 years but Congress has prevented us from offering low-fare service between Missouri and our home airport at Dallas' Love Field," said Herb Kelleher, Southwest's executive chairman and co-founder. "Missouri has been punished far too long by the resulting high-fare monopoly. We are delighted by Senator Bond's efforts to wipe out the last vestige of airline regulation for the people of Missouri."
Under the leadership of Senator Christopher "Kit" Bond (R-MO), Missouri has been added to the list of states eligible for nonstop commercial air service from Love Field. Since 1979, nonstop service from Love Field has been restricted to Texas and its four surrounding states due to the Wright Amendment, named for then-Speaker of the House Jim Wright who sought to protect Dallas/Ft. Worth International (DFW) Airport. In 1997, Senator Richard Shelby (D-AL) succeeded in adding Alabama, Mississippi, and Kansas to the list. The "Bond Amendment" of 2005 allows competitive air service at Love Field to reach one state further.
"When these two Missouri airports gain new Southwest Airlines service, history tells us that airport traffic will increase as more people are able to fly at a lower price," Kelleher said.
A study by the Campbell-Hill Aviation Group, commissioned by Southwest Airlines, predicts nearly 500,000 additional Missouri passengers per year will be generated through fare savings estimated to be more than $77 million. The US Department of Transportation calls this well-documented stimulation of passenger traffic through low fares the "Southwest Effect." Campbell-Hill also predicts an additional $218 million per year will go to the Missouri economy in related spending.
All eyes will be on Missouri to see if the venerated "Southwest Effect" takes hold in an established market. History, and Southwest Airlines, say that it can. "They don't call Missouri the 'Show Me State' for nothing!" Kelleher said. "The push from Missouri allows us to create a competition laboratory, if you will, to prove our case. Our experience in 60 other markets tells us that all carriers serving these markets will decrease their fares and increase their Missouri traffic. I can't think of a state that wouldn't want that."
Southwest Airlines, the nation's largest carrier in terms of domestic passengers enplaned, currently serves 61 cities in 31 states. Based in Dallas, Southwest currently operates more than 2,900 flights a day and has 31,000+ Employees systemwide.
Fare Rules
Fares are available one-way and are combinable with all other fares. When combining fares, all ticketing restrictions apply. The fares are available for purchase today through the end of Southwest's published schedule (currently March 31, 2006). Tickets must be purchased at least 14 days before departure. Seats are limited. Fares may vary by flight and day of week and will not be available on some flights that operate during very busy travel times. Fares do not include a $3.20 federal segment tax per takeoff and landing. Fares do not include airport-assessed passenger facility charges (PFC) of up to $9 one-way and a U.S. government-imposed September 11th Security Fee of up to $5 one-way. Fares are subject to change until ticketed. Tickets are nonrefundable but may be applied toward the purchase of future travel on Southwest Airlines. Fares are valid on published, scheduled service only. Any change in itinerary may result in an increase in fare.

Oil sector plays: GEOI and ABLE. Oil prices spiked above $60 a barrel Monday amid reports that a snowstorm would hit the U.S. Northeast, the world's largest heating fuel market, and boost demand for crude oil and natural gas.
In GEOI and ABLE here for oil price back up above $60. Both of the stocks are thin volume and with great technical rebounce. If the oil price goes up, these two will fly. But if oil price does not up, they won't down much. Both of these stocks are bottom formed.

Home heating oil demand increase recently due to the long and cold winter. This year the winter is late and we know that usually later the winter the longer. This will boost heating oil price up.
Able Energy, Inc. is a holding company for five operating subsidiaries, which are engaged in the retail distribution of, and the provision of services relating to, home heating oil, diesel fuel, kerosene, and in addition, the Company provides complete HVAC installation and repair.
Moreover, Able Announces Alternative to High-Priced Foreign Oil.

As oil price goes up again, investors are searching alternative energy. Such as wind mills, solar power, soy power, etc. Hot money will flow in sooner or later if oil price can not cool down and I believe it won't. Analysts say it is still a long time that we can find a very efficient substitute energy resource, but scientists are keep searching. ABLE and GEOI both are belongs to this alternative energy sector. With a long and cold winter, investors will put more attention into alternative energy stocks. ABLE and GEOI are still so cheap compared to other oil companies' stocks.

Oil Puts Pressure on Stocks.Oil edged above $60 for the first time in almost a month as a winter storm tracked toward the Northeast and most of the northern U.S. coped with frigid temperatures. Crude for January delivery was recently up $1.08 to $60.40 a barrel in Nymex trading. Meanwhile, natural gas prices jumped 17 cents to $14.10 per million British thermal units.
Oil play again, easy money here, either to make a profit, or to hedge the market. I believe GEOI and ABLE both should be traded above $10. When the market in red, hot money is seeking sectors to flow in. definately the oil and gas sector will be the hot point. When investors are extrapolating the oil price trend, more overreaction will fill in. Will see tomorrow MOMO.

In HLTH here. Aiming for >$10 target in 3 months.Baby boomer play for a long time, HLTH is the best Web medical services company, I bet you heard about WebMD, I am using it. Nice Technical rebounce chart. HLTH has strong financial background especially a lot of cash.
Here is the business report and financial background:
Revenues should remain on an upward trajectory at Emdeon Corporation (formerly WebMD Corporation). Sales at the company's Business Services group appear likely to advance slightly faster than analysts envisioned , reflecting the contribution of recent acquisitions and better demand for its newer product and service offerings. An increase of 11%-12% may be in the cards for this year.
Meanwhile, Emdeon's second-quarter earnings provided some degree of optimism that its Physician Services segment has finally gotten traction; it may be able to move forward at a much improved pace, given the reported infrastructure improvements and the resulting ability to implement systems in a more effective manner. At this point, top-line growth of 5%-6% seems probable, with an operating margin of some 10%. Analysts continue to anticipate steady progress from Porex, the company's plastics business.
Emdeon is still working its way towards offering 10%-14% of WebMD Health to the public. Revenue from the Internet portal is growing fast, and it is likely to continue doing so. WebMD Health is increasingly the site of choice for health-related information by the general public; it also has a large professional following. Accordingly, its contribution to Emdeon's overall financial performance should please most investors. In terms of the IPO, details remain sketchy, since, at this writing, the registration statement has not been made effective.
The company recently issued $300 million in convertible debt. The senior notes were privately placed to institutional investors under Rule 144A; their coupon is 3.125% and each $1,000 note is convertible into 64.2446 shares (at $15.57). The new debt does not alter Emdeon's financial strength, particularly in view of the upcoming IPO of WebMD Health.
Emdeon shares are top-ranked for Timeliness. This stock, which has performed nicely so far this year, continues to receive good market support. Each of the company's businesses seems to be doing well; the above-mentioned IPO is also a factor here. That said, new commitments are probably best made by aggressive accounts.
Mean Analysts target is 10.9, Valueline lowest target is $11 with high target $19. So far, JPmorgan holding Strong Buy on it, Raymond James holding "outperform" on it. Check this out: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ao?s=HLTH
I am bullish on HLTH, both in a short term and long term.

CHB got new contracts from government last week, more contracts coming in when the government is ready to rebiult the cityies for Katrina victims :
The Champion Home Builders factory is filling a 150-home order for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, building 800-square-foot, three-bedroom mobile homes.
Each house will come with furniture and appliances: a couch, two chairs, beds and end tables, dining table and chairs, dressers, refrigerator and stove.
"All they need to move in is a toaster and a coffee pot," said Colleen King, human resources director at the factory.
Nationwide, Champion Enterprises is building 2,000 homes for FEMA.
King said she could not talk about how much money the government was paying Champion for the homes, but according to the FEMA Web site, the national contract for Champion Homes is listed for $80.8 million. That's $40,400 a home.
She said 15 new full-time jobs will remain even after the order has been filled.
The requirements for the FEMA houses are much different from the houses the factory normally produces, King said. And because the government contract called for them to be built on a tight deadline, by Jan. 1, workers had to adapt to the process quickly.
"The specs came from FEMA, and we were required to build to their codes," King said.
One requires the houses to meet the criteria of "Wind Zone 3," which means the houses must be able to withstand 110 mph winds.
The process has been a challenge, King said, because the factory also has to continue manufacturing its other lines of houses at the same time.
"There were so many families who were displaced, and this situation needed immediate response," King said.
King doesn't know whether the houses will be permanently placed, but eventually they will be shipped to staging points in Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi.
About a dozen houses on trailers sit outside the storage area north of the factory, with tags marked "FEMA." They are ready to go as soon as the government says it's time.

This week LSI Logic unveiled two new chips aimed at giving DVD and personal video recorder manufacturers an inexpensive way to offer ATSC SD and HD recording and playback.
With an FCC mandate of March 1, 2007, looming requiring the addition of an HDTV/ATSC tuner capability consisting of a digital tuner, an 8-VSB demodulator, and an ATSC-compliant HD decoder processor to peripheral systems, LSI Logic said the time is right for its new DMN-8633 and DMN-8683.
Based on the company’s DoMiNo architecture, both are single-chip solutions for ATSC-compliant HDTV DVD recording systems. While they are aimed at consumer products, the new chips could fuel broad acceptance of HD home recording devices based upon their relative low cost and high performance. As a result, they may be a critical factor in the equation that motivates a consumer to upgrade to high definition television.
LSI Logic senior product marketing manager Ed Silva said the new chips and the role they play in the future of HDTV is potential and the market is huge.
As we know that HDTV will be standard in 2007. Till then, most of the family use HDTV, we can imagine how big the market is. LSI's stock recovered since last month from low $ 7, I am bullish on LSI here and aiming for at least $10 target.

Add more shares of GEOI and ABLE here for oil price jump play. Winter Storm come too early this year will push the heating oil price much higher than expected. Easy money here for small oil stocks. GEOI might go back to its $15 level and ABLE also.
Natural gas prices jumped to a new high Thursday and oil prices also climbed as cold weather across the U.S. Northeast, Midwest and elsewhere raised concerns about increased demand for home-heating fuels this winter. ADVERTISEMENT
But some brokers said they were stunned by the market's apparent knee-jerk reaction to freezing temperatures and snow, chalking it up to speculative buying.
January natural gas futures surged by $1.20 to $14.90 per 1,000 cubic feet on the New York Mercantile Exchange -- a new intraday high for the front-month contract. The previous record was $14.75 set when the December contract was the front month. The rally in natural gas helped fuel the runup in oil prices.

Best heating oil small stocks to play is GEOI. GEOI has strong financial strength with positive EBITA and 37.50% growth rate. Less risk here. ABLE only has 2.5M shares trading, the oil price pressure will send it to sky.
Colder weather in the Northeast and Midwest drove expectations for greater heating fuel demand, although weekly inventory reports indicate that U.S. oil and gas reserves continue to grow. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, natural gas surged $1.14 to $14.84 per 1,000 cubic feet, as a barrel of light crude jumped 99 cents to $60.20.

Add more CHB here for market effect. With the strong earning from home builder companies, the whole sector will back up. WSJ this morning report and mention CHB:
Small-Stock Focus
WCI Communities Climbs 5.8%
By Anjali Cordeiro Dow Jones Newswires 409 words 9 December 2005 The Wall Street Journal C3 English (Copyright (c) 2005, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)
A jump in energy prices failed to hold down small stocks, which climbed and outpaced the broad market.
Home builders recovered some ground after selling off in the previous session. The sector was active after large-caps Hovnanian Enterprises and Toll Brothers reported robust growth in their quarterly earnings. Among small stocks, WCI Communities rose $1.46, or 5.8%, to $26.69 on the New York Stock Exchange after lifting its earnings outlook for 2006. Champion Enterprises (NYSE) gained 15 cents, or 1%, to 14.55.

Revisit retail store GMTN for its technical trend. From chart, it rebounced back from historical low $4.4 to current $7.5 within a short period. GMTN recently hired new management team GMTN--David C. Pratt to fill the newly created position of vice chairman of the board. GMTN specilizes in outdoor sports goods, especially in hunting.
2. Cold winter before Chirstmas is a good news to outdoor sports retailer since people usually buy outdoor products for Christmas gifts. With cold winter, more people go hunting. I still remember last year this time GMTN tanked just because the winter came too late in Jan, after Christmas shopping season, which cause GMTN's stock tanked a lot. But this year, totally different, early winter and very cold, should boost GMTN's same store sales. Will see its earning number colorful in Jan.
In GMTN here aiming for target $9

EMC Cast as the Lead Role in Screen Actors Guild 24x7 Website
12-13-05 09:03 AM EST | Electronic Repository of Information and Intellectual Capital Based on EMC Documentum Platform Increases Efficiency, Reduces Operational Costs and Better Serves Actors
/PRNewswire/ -- EMC Corporation, the world leader in information management and storage, announced today that the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) replaced its outdated, paper-based system with an extensive online contract management solution based on the EMC Documentum(R) enterprise content management (ECM) platform. Consequently, the United States' premier labor union representing actors in film, television, industrials, commercials and music videos, has dramatically improved service to nearly 120,000 members while saving SAG personnel time, lowering operational costs, increasing efficiency and reducing the risk of misplaced or lost information.
"Managing and accessing millions of paper-based contracts, legal documents, resumes, payment schedules, photos and other information was not only time-consuming, but also resulted in duplicate efforts, excess costs and inefficient, error-prone processes," said Beverly Kite, SAG's Chief Information Officer. "We worked with EMC to develop an electronic repository of information and intellectual capital that improves the way we do business to better serve our dues-paying constituents."
