Stuck on Glu

Friday, January 21st, 2011

I like their business model. Of course, if I wasn’t lazy, I would have found them before everyone else did, but I will count on the fickle behavior of the market to give me another chance at picking them up at a bargain.

A Phone Booth for the New Millenium

Monday, January 17th, 2011

As in no one will use them five years from now, but might be worth a short term investment in Coinstar, especially after reading this article at Investopedia.

Follow the Bouncing Dividend

Saturday, November 6th, 2010

Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund Inc. (CIK) seems to climb up then drop off before beginning another climb. Even with its current 8.6% dividend, it is easy to pick up an extra 10% by watching for this pattern.

My last run was in at 3.29 and out at 3.7. Setting an alert for 3.4 to buy in again at 3.3.

Follow the Bouncing Ball

I had shares of CSR just before the big recovery last year. In my panic of that year I sold at a wider loss than I should have. Now I see them lined up for a profit again. Providing the market stays the same and only my intestinal fortitude varies, this time should see a 15% upside by January.

NABI Revisited

Sunday, October 24th, 2010

My paranoid limit buy posted here in March went through, and I was getting ready to set a short-term limit sell, when I ran across an article on TheStreet.com listing it as a potential doubler. Hmmm. They’ve steered me in both directions, but I’m going to bet with them today… for now.

Dot Com Crumb at the Bottom of the Box?

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

PRGS stock buy back plan reminded me of when there were lots of software companies nobody ever heard of that were making money. This one has good numbers, so going to keep an eye for a pull-back and see if the value is still there.

The New Black Gold

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

Coal. Heard about SinoCoking and Coal from the Stock Gumshoe, and looking at the chart figure that it might pop again. It is having a short run now, but whether because of the bullish day or the push the prompted the pontification by the Gumshoe, who knows? Either way, I’ll wait for a drop and think again.

Curious About Curis

Strong pipeline, no debt. That’s what I look for in an bio tech, and another one found in the same article mentioned in the previous post.

Another Article Arousal

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

I like the business model description of CGEN found at an Investor Place article because I’ve spent some time with pharmaceutical and biotech companies and know how they rely on this type of data. But, like most articles I find there, they are touting the stock on the upswing and I need a dip to be cheap (lazy covered by them doing the research for me).

A Chinese Phoenix?

If they are then AMBO  could be a huge winner over the next couple of years. This one was sniffed out by the Stock Gumshoe, and I highly recommend his article where he dug it up.
