Friday, December 30th, 2011

The CAPs only give it a two star yet one Fool gives it a really good pitch. Got my attention, if not my money (yet).Navistar International Corporation (NAV)

I Want to be a Mogul Too

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011

I love a bargain, and this Forbes article indicates I could.  But, since I don’t trust Forbes or Ichan and the Fools seem to see this as folly, I’m just going to watch for now.

Cupid Shooting Fools with AROs

Friday, September 16th, 2011

I ran across one pitch, which led to a few others. Pitches aside, I like the chart and the fact that my 13 year old always wants to go there.

ABAT or Bust?

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011

I erred in not blogging about Advanced Battery when I bought it. While obvious speculative, I don’t recall the original motivation. I was again trying to decide whether to weather through and this time came across a semi-positive evaluation at the Fool. Hoping I’m Foolish hanging on to it rather than just a fool tool.

Buy Who You Pay: NetSol Technologies, Inc. (NTWK)

I ran across this Fool article after the fact, even though it was published before my buy.

Optimer Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OPTR)

Thursday, July 14th, 2011

I like bio pharma. Then again, I like white water rafting and sky diving, too. A Hilary Kramer pitch at InvestorPlace pointed me at this one.

Country Style Cooking Restaurant Chain Co., Ltd. (CCSC)

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

With a name like that, I’d expect biscuits and gravy on the menu instead of rice and curd, but it was probably intended for the NYSE appeal.

The Stock Gumshoe found this one for me, and I’m on the fence with it. I’ve lost a lot in China the last couple of years, but the Motley Fool pitch makes it pretty tempting. Maybe just a little bite…
