Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. (MLNX)

admin — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 19:12:57 +0000

I found MLNX in my regular review of the Price % Losers on Yahoo! Finance. The strategy is to find something at the bottom of a short roller coaster ride, though once in awhile I find a solid stock that I might keep there. This one sits in the middle.

DragonWave Inc. (DRWI)

Good pitch on the Motley Fool CAPS Weekly Stock Idea for DRWI. The company’s current challenge is all of it’s business being for one customer, something that smaller companies usually suffer from. If they can pick up one more major customer, they will sky rocket. If they don’t, they could fizzle soon.

Pacific Sunwear of California Inc. (PSUN)

Ok, I hate when I set an alert on a stock and forget to blog why I did it. Well, this will be my reminder for PSUN. An alert hit at $3 today. Looking at the chart, it seems they have a roller-coaster history that generally bottoms at this time of year and climbs up to December. Food for thought. Retail is not my favorite sector right now. Still, tempted to buy at 2.80 and sell at 5.00

Am I Reaching for ReachLocal?

An article on Business Insider about RLOC had me take a second look at this recent IPO. I liked them before the article, so put in a limit order that will probably fire today.

AGEN 8 Months Later…

admin — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 20:03:39 +0000

…I’m down ~11% from the first posting on 10/21/2009. Still, they have 21% insider/major holders today, and they have been doing no more than the usual selling for profit taking and some minor buying that could be PR or cautious accumulation, so I’m contemplating buying some more. My hesitation is their debt, which is OK for a bio-tech, but ripe for a share offering that would dilute the current shares. My timing has been off lately, so that would happen about 2 -3 minutes after I bought.

If You Wish Upon a Star

Then you are generally SOL (science buffs are tittering at that pun). If I had caught BTN 4 months ago, I’d be ecstatic. Today, I’m cautious, and looking for a summer or fall drop to think about jumping in.

Is It Bio Time Boys and Girls?

admin — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 15:35:48 +0000

I came across BioTime, Inc. (BTIM) from my favorite newsletter by the Stock Gumshoe. 35% insider ownership, and most of them are rich from it at this point. Still, plenty of room for a long-term upside.

GTXI: Buy Low, Sell Higher

admin — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 14:36:38 +0000

On 5/26/2010 GTXI dropped from 3.02 to 1.90. I picked it up at 2.01 and sold it today (6/3) for 2.50. Now if I had the intestinal fortitude to do that with lots of shares, it would have been a very good week. OTOH, I lost enough in other stocks where it would have been only an OK week. Lesson learned is that sometimes the gut is right.

Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (CY)

An OptionsZone.com article got me interested in CY. Still looking for a lower entry point, though.
