"Long-Term - Buy Here"

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) (52 week range 2.00 - 10.04 (this past week)), now at $8.61, up from $7.91 last week. AMD moved from the low of $1.62 on November 25, 2008, a tab over a year ago, to a new 52 week high of $10.04 five weeks ago. AMD was climbing with the markets, but news a couple of months ago of a $1.25 billion settlement to AMD gave the stock a real reason to climb.

There are few companies involved in a world market where there are only a couple of players. Intel and AMD own the main chip making business, with AMD holding on to about 20%. Owning so much of such a giant business, that is competitive and always trying to beat the other guy, is two reasons to get behind AMD.

High tech led the recovery and it seems to be leading the sell off. AMD has been falling with the markets and if the markets continue to sell down, so will AMD. The close this past week is over my buy at a 25% discount to the recent high, making entry OK here for long term buyers and anywhere under $7.53 OK for the short term player.

OK for entry, if long term. Short term wait for under $7.53!


"Hold Here"
"New addition to the Dow Jones Industrial Average"

Cisco Systems (CSCO) (52 week range 13.61 - 25.24), now at $25.21, off from $24.33 last week. Strong earnings and a solid market makes the stock a special one to watch. This newest member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (replaced GM) is set a new 52 week high this past week. Not a lot of reason to fall too far, but if the markets continue to climb we will see higher ground here, but a falling market will only bring it down a bit. Entry best under $18!


A "Move to AMD" "Spotlight Stock"

3 Com Corporation (COMS) (52 week range 2.06 - 7.75), now at $7.72, up from $7.63 last week. We can say good bye to 3Com as Hewlett Packard is buying the company. Nice move on the stock this year for those of you that took advantage of this old company when it dropped under book value.

Hewlett-Packard Co (HPQ.N) said it had agreed to buy network equipment maker 3Com Corp. (COMS.O) for $2.7 billion. HPQ said it would pay $7.90 per share for 3Com

If not wanting to become a shareholder in HPQ, take the money and put in AMD!

A "Featured" "Spotlight Stock"

"Buy Here"

Comtech Telecommunications (CMTL) (52 week range 19.56 - 38.39), now at $30.32, off from $31.62 last week. One of my favorite long term stocks. Our original buy under $4, in 2003, carried all the way to over $50 and split twice along the way. A big winner, and moving back to $50 again is a strong possibility. The stock started falling a few weeks ago and still is, but slowing down in weekly losses. The fast fall from the recent 52 week high is creating a bargain. Entry OK anywhere under $34!



Dell Computer (DELL) (52 week range 8.00 - 17.26), now at $13.88, up from $13.24 last week. DELL is just not the strong growth stock of the past but the recent purchase of Perot Systems will place the company deeper into the business computer market where it will buck heads with the likes of companies such as IBM. A good move for DELL if it takes the ball and runs with it. Announced a better than expected forecast a few weeks ago, along with Intel. DELL is still a boring stock, but in low enough and wait long enough, it will make money. Best entry moved up to under $11!



A "Featured" "Spotlight Stock"

A "Buy Now" Stock

Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. (ESNR) (52 week range 0.005 - 0.19), now at $0.016, off from $0.02 last week. ESNR develops, manufacture's and sells a product called zNose®. The zNose® identifies the chemical makeup of any fragrance, vapor or odor. The zNose®. does this by creating a visual image of the fragrance, vapor or odor that it detects, so that the user of the zNose®. may identify the fragrance, vapor or odor and it does all this in less than 10 seconds.

"Press Release"

zNose® Is Able to Detect TCA and TBA in Woods
Marketwire(Tue, Feb 2)

NEWBURY PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electronic Sensor Technology (EST) (OTCBB: ESNR), a leading provider of ultra-fast vapor analyzers, announced today that its zNose® electronic sensor instrument can detect tribromoanisole TBA and trichloroanisole TCA.

TBA is an anti-sap-staining chemical used on wood in South America, primarily from Chile and Brazil. It was the chemical contaminant cited in the recent consumer product recall as causing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach pain in at least 70 consumers, according to the FDA. (

Electronic Sensor Technology has sold over 110 zNose® systems to China, most of which are employed in the detection of pollutants in rivers and lakes, but a recent order calls for the majority of the units to be used by China for environmental applications. The effectiveness of the zNose® in this application further underscores its versatility and usability.

The stock price has been stuck around 0.02 and tax selling is the reason but since the first of the year there has been strong volume and most on the offer side, a sign of higher ground ahead. ESNR is a shot at the future. A "best guess" is a break-out to the upside soon.

Exterra Energy, INC (EENI) (52 week range 0.05 - 6.00), now at $1.02, off from $1.08 last week. Exterra Energy became public via a merger in October/07 and started trading, as a public company, in January/08. The rapid drop in the price for oil & gas caused a planned merger (at that time) to not go through, causing the company to lose some of it's assets. A nice part about it would be the company lost most of it's debt along with it.

My problem is that "new" management is not shareholder friendly and will not communicate with me. This makes me wonder their real intentions, or even why they wanted to mess around with running a public company.

The stock reversed split at a 60 to 1 ratio almost a year back.This reverse means there are fewer shares in the float making it easier for the stock to climb, but the cost of this split was great because current "new" management took up with 80 percent of the company. This means their shares aren't trading making it possible for the stock to climb on any news, but long term it will be management making the bucks.

Exterra Energy is not a shareholder friendly company and even if management won't communicate there is little reason to sell here and because of the low amount of shares there are reasons to buy when low enough.

Buy here!



A "Buy Here" "Spotlight Stock"

Fonar Corp. (FONR) (52 week range 0.62 - 4.60), now at $1.26, off from $1.36 last week. I first started following Fonar in 1982 and have followed it every day since. The stock is very liquid, as it trades strong volume daily. Great products would be the reason to own this stock, but play it short-term only.

With so many years behind it, the best MRI on the planet, far less shares because of a reverse split a couple of years ago and a stock price trading near the lower end of the recent trading range, makes it a special one to own.

The stock price jumped a few months ago to a new 52 week high of $4.60 and right back down. It truly is the nature of this beast. The stock price had been holding near the 2 1/2 level but turned down several weeks ago and lost a bunch. A nice stock to own if in at the right price.

Buy here!



A "Hold Here" Stock

Intel Corporation (INTC) (52 week range 12.05 - 21.55), now at $20.79, Up from $20.53 last week. I really like the company and it is here to stay. INTC recently set new 52 week high and more will follow. This one is hard to figure. We would need to see a giant pull-back in the markets in order to reach a "buy" area. Hold here!


A "Buy Here, Buy Now" "Spotlight Stock"

Jet Gold Corp. (JAU.V) (Canadian)(Pink Sheets JAUGF) (52 week range 0.05 - 0.16), now at ¢0.07, flat from ¢0.075 last week. Jet Gold is an exploration and development company with interest in natural gas, oil, precious metals.

Jet Gold seems to be lining up for a great mining season. With the best months in front of it and strong properties to work we might find this is the year for Jet Gold to hit a home run. The stock price is a steal at the current low levels.

A "Featured" "Spotlight Stock"

A "Buy Now" STOCK

Mineral Hill Industries Ltd. (MHI.V) (52 week range 0.03 - 0.20), now at $0.05, off from $0.055 last week. Mineral Hill Industries Ltd. Is our newest "Featured" Spotlight stock and is aggressively pursuing Lithium mining interest. Lithium is one of the fastest growing of the rare minerals and MHI is in a position to become one of the fastest "growing in price" stocks of the year. News seems to come often and several acquisitions have already been completed.


Recent testing came in with positive results, showing lithium at high enough concentrations to ward moving into the next phase of the drilling of several different spots in search of how much and where it is.

Also, MHI's latest acquisition puts the company in both, the "hard rock" mining and the brine, positioning the company to handle both markets.

The following link will take you to our full recommendation: Spotlight Stock!

I believe MHI will become a big winner in the coming year and the growing in demand product is going to make it a good bet in any economy. There has been a big jump in the daily volume and much of it on the buy side. Up soon!

Buy here!

"Sell Here"

Novell (NOVL) (52 week range 2.97 - 6.15), now at $5.91, up from $4.70 last week. A company with a strong customer base,but having trouble defining itself.

The stock screamed this past week after the private-equity firm Elliott Associates bid $2 billion for the company.
Book value is about $2.69 per share and the company is setting on about $983 million in cash, with zero debt.

Since NOVL has been having trouble finding its own place in time I would take the money and run.

Sell here and look to AMD or FONR for a place to put the money!



"Hold Here"

Qualcomm (QCOM) (52 week range 32.64 - 49.80), now at $38.76, up from $36.68 last week. An very active and fast growing company in a great industry. The stock is active and stays strong even in down markets. The Company is setting on almost $11 billion in cash. The $34 support level is strong and any opportunity to enter under $34 is worth it. Continue to hold here, but buy PUTS on anything over $50. Best entry on anything under $34!



Symantec Corp. (SYMC) (52 week range 12.54 - 19.14), now at $16.97, up from $16.55 last week. SYMC is the king of programs to help our computers run better (Norton) and the leader in computer virus protection, although losing ground to McAfee., Inc. (NYSE: MFE). The stock has not been a big mover in the last couple of years, but it has almost doubled since hitting a 52 week low of 10.05 on November 20, 2008. Hold the PUTS. Swap for AMD might be a great move. Most of the move is behind us on this one!


- Nice Long-Term Stock -

A "Very Active" "Spotlight Stock"

TetraTech (TTEK) (52 week range 19.51 - 32.00, now at $21.11, up from $20.92 last week. A very very nice young company in a great industry (Technical Services). A very strong stock to own if we can get in low enough. The new 52 week high wasn't that long ago and the fall is a bunch. The stock set a new 52 week low this past week, making entry something worth thinking about. Any lower from here is just a bigger bargain. Buy here!


A "Spotlight Trading Stock"
"Hold here"

ZAP (ZAAP.OB) (52 week range 0.09 - 0.49), now at $0.32, off from $0.35 last week. There is little doubt that electric transportation is growing. The industry is exciting and ZAP has news often, which is why the stock almost doubled in a week.

ZAP can be an active stock as it is right now, but the big move a few weeks ago is having trouble holding. I believe there is a strong future for ZAP and buying at the lower prices is a bargain. There is no way of knowing how far the stock will fall back, or when it will take off again. ZAP is a nice stock to own anytime near the 0.30 level and if it falls back too far we can buy more.

Entry here OK, but best if under 0.30!


Shop for the bargains in the secondary stocks for potentially bigger profits. Many of the smaller stocks offer a greater opportunity for bigger profits. Looking here might be the place to be. Smaller stocks will move around on their own merits and not so much due to the changing economic situations.
