Special "Spotlight Favorite" 

A "Buy Here" for the current market

Rotate Black, Inc. (ROBK) ( 52 week range 0.30 - 0.06 ), now at  0.18, up from $0.20 last week. ROBK is one of our  "Featured Spotlight" stocks and I feel its a stock at the right time. I am expecting strong news over the next few months and the time to buy is now. Buy here!

"Hold Here"

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) (52 week range 4.31 - 9.58 ), now at $6.82, up from $6.42 last week. The stock is very active and tends to follow the near term markets. Recently AMD put out a revenue forecast that points to a stronger-than-anticipated fourth quarter.

There are few companies involved in a world market where there are only a few players.Intel and AMD own the main chip making business, with AMD holding about 20%. Owning so much of such a giant business, that is always growing, and used all over the world, when there are so few; makes AMD always worth watching.
 
The company is having much success with the new Fusion chip, a state-of-the-art processor that combines core computing with graphics processing capabilities.
 
AMD has a  history of quick moves, anytime. Recently (October) the stock bottomed at $4.31 and bounced to $6.05 in only 8 days. It is the way AMD trades and anytime near the low is always a money maker. 
 
The hardest part with AMD is picking the bottom, since the stock trades so true to the total trend. One of the best market active stocks anywhere . If the markets climb, so will AMD. If they sell off, so will AMD.
 
Hold here with entry OK on anything under $4.50 !
 

 
"Hold Here"
"A Dow Jones Industrial Average Stock"
 
Cisco Systems ( CSCO ) (52 week range 13.30 - 22.34 ), now at $19.56, up from $19.92 last week. This newest member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (replaced GM) is here to stay. A very active and well known company.

CSCO reported adjusted net income of 40 cents per share. By that measure, the company beat the mean estimate of 32 cents per share. It also beat the average revenue estimate of $10.97 billion.
 
CSCO reached a point of entry back in August, after being beaten down so much the price bounced from under $14 to over $16 in less than one week. the price built to base near $15 up to the high of $19.12 in December, a move of about 42%.

If we look at all the pieces we have a stock that should trade around $28.
If the markets continue to climb, so will this one. If the markets return to selling so will CSCO.
 
Entry looks good when under $16!

A "Featured" "Spotlight Stock"

Comtech Telecommunications ( CMTL ) (52 week range 23.51 - 35.65 6 weeks ago), now at $30.89, up from $30.48 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. CMTL is a stock to own for the long term.

Comtech reported net income of $54.8 million on $547.58 million in revenue ttm (trailing 12 months.) Book Value is $25.76 making the current price at $28 a strong hold.
 
Comtech , which makes equipment used in satellite and other mobile communications systems, has a strong future. The stock tends to hold well in down markets, making holding here a best bet.
 
Buy anytime under $24!
 

 
Dell Computer ( DELL ) (52 week range 12.99 - 17.60 ), now at $16.74 up from $16.67 last week. DELL is no longer a strong growth stock but it is here to stay, just not a real active stock. Dell announced a better than expected forecast several weeks ago, but it did little for the stock.
 
DELL should fall harder than the rest of the markets, in any down turn, as HP is staying in the PC business. If in low enough and wait long enough, the stock will make an investor money.
 
Dell will move lower if the markets return to selling with a shot at under $13.

Buy under $14!

Expecting news very soon
"Buy Here"
 
EC Development, Inc. ( ECDI.PK ) (52 week range 0.05 - 0.95), now at $0.55, up from 0.48 last week. EC Development makes the computer programs that run all the games, plus manage the money for gaming casinos. The company is new to the public market and has yet to establish a "buy" level for the stock, although I feel it will see the dollar level easily.
 
I am turning quite bullish on ECDI as I feel the things that have been holding the company back are being solved which should mean a company starting to move forward quickly and a stock that should do the same. 
 
Since revenue growth is king, ECDI may be wearing a Crown before too long. I expect an explosion in news, as the product has a strong need in wherever legalized gaming is allowed. 
 
The  stock will be hard to get on anything under the 0.50 level. Forget the 0.20 last trade as the very slight selling at 0,20 would be used to cover the maker's short. 
 
Buy anything under 0.50 !!!!
 

 
Exterra Energy, INC (EENI ) (52 week range 0.04 (3 weeks ago) - 1.60), now at $0.05, flat from $0.05 last week. Exterra Energy became public via a merger in October/07 and started trading as a public company in January/08.

Exterra Energy stepped off a cliff and fell like a rock several months ago. Recent financial's show basically no revenue growth for a year .

Exterra Energy
is not a shareholder friendly company and for all we know another giant reverse might be in the works. The current management team already had a 1 for 60 reverse, slaughtered the shareholders, then gave themselves 95% of the company for basically nothing.
 
Something does not look right with this one. Could be because the Royal Family owns their own wells (Royal Oil) and just wanted to milk this one. Only for the higher risk investors looking for a quick pop that may never come!

Best bet would to be somewhere else!!
 


A "Buy Here" "Spotlight Stock"
 
Fonar Corp. ( FONR ) (52 week range 1.25 - 3.20) , now at $1.75, off from $1.81 last week. I first started following Fonar in 1982 and have followed it every day since. The stock is very liquid, as it usually 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 scanner on the planet, far less shares because of a reverse split a couple of years ago and a stock price trading in a profitable trading range, this one is a special one to own.

The earnings for the quarter came out and the company is showing 0.55 for the 12 months. This means Fonar should be trading at $5 or more.
 
Although I have been playing the trading range for many years the new financial's are telling us it is OK to settle in for the long term. OK to buy here, if long term, but if the markets fall back we may see under $1.40.

OK for entry here, but we could see lower ground ahead. Best if in under $1.40 for short term !
 


A "Hold Here" Spotlight Stock
 
Intel Corporation( INTC ) (52 week range 19.16 - 27.00 (this past week)  ), now at $26.73, up from $26.38 last week. INTC set a new 52 week high 4 weeks, but still a tight trading range for the last 52 weeks. Intel has just not really been part of the latest bull market until just recently. Announcing $12.8 billion in sales blew away analyst predictions and beat last year’s sales by 25 percent.

Intel is a great company to own for the longer term, a bit too high for the short term. If the markets continue higher so will this one.

Hold here with best entry anywhere under $20 !

 
Jet Gold Corp. (JAU.V) (Canadian)(Pink Sheets - JAUGF ) (52 week range 0.03 - 0.40) , now at ¢ 0.17, up from ¢ 0.15 last week. Jet Gold is an exploration and development company with interest in natural gas, oil, precious metals.

Jet Gold
has been in the process of acquiring prime properties, such as the Big Hammer property near Terrace, British Columbia, Canada. The Big Hammer property hosts a new rare metals, Gold-Silver-Tellurium (Au-Ag-Te), discovery made by the British Columbia Geologic Survey in 2007.
 
The company recently completed a 1 for 5 reverse, which means the stock will have 1/5 of the previous float making it easier to climb, but the opposite is happening as the stock price has been sinking. It appears the recent rally was on no new and possibly just a quick (pump and dump).

With out any actual production the dream is a long way off. I just do not see any reason for the stock to climb much higher near term. Too risky at current levels. If profitable take your money and run.

Best to be somewhere else!
 


Qualcomm (QCOM) (52 week range 45.98 - 59.84), now at $57.79, up from $57.73 last week. A very active stock, a fast growing company and a great industry. The stock is active and stays strong even in down markets.
 
The Company is setting on $11.65 billion in cash with a book value at $16.03. The price to book is 3.42 for the most recent quarter. Nice company to own on pullbacks.Buy, or hold, the PUTS for insurance

Best entry on anything under $48 (up from $34)!

A "Featured" "Spotlight Stock"
"Buy Here"

Rotate Black, Inc.( ROBK ) ( 52 week range 0.06 - 0.30),now at 0.22, up from $ 0.18 last week. ROBK is one of our "Featured Spotlight" stocks and I feel its a stock at the right place, right time.

The High Rise Casino Hotel is moving forward with news of approval for the financing just around the corner. Any news to this effect and the stock will soar. Also the possibility of a quick settlement from the Seneca Tribe could come any time now.

ROBK has already received approval from the Mississippi Gaming Commission for the Hotel. ROBK also announced a 20 year contract to manage an Indian Casino in Canada.Recently announced the 10Q and it reads good. I suggest you click on the following link to read the story. It updates real well(Click here to read the 10Q).

Volume is on the increase, plus the stock price has been moving higher.
 
Buy here! 


 
Symantec Corp. ( SYMC) ( 52 week range 14.94 - 20.50 ), now 17.08, up from $16.79 last week. SYMC helps our computers run better ( Norton ) and one of the leaders 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 in low enough can make money. If the markets were to return to selling this one will fall with it. If holding buy the $17.50 PUT.
  
Entry OK when under $15! 
 


- Nice Long-Term Stock -

A "Hold Here" "Spotlight Stock"
 
TetraTech (TTEK) ( 52 week range 17.31 - 25.50), now at $22.90, up from $22.44 last week. A very very nice young company in a great industry (Technical Services). Tetra Tech is a leading provider of consulting, engineering, program management, construction, and technical services addressing the resource management and infrastructure markets.

TTEK has approximately 10,000 employees worldwide. Price to book is a 1.59, with a book value at $13.68. A very strong stock to own, if we can get in low enough. A nice company to own when in near the low end of the trading range.

OK for entry anytime under $19 !

 

A "Spotlight Trading Stock"
"Buy at or under 0.20"
 
ZAP (ZAAP.OB) (52 week range 0.13 (8 weeks ago) - 1.75) , now at $0.23, off from $0.22 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 is always worth following.

I believe money can be made on ZAP if owning shares at the current lower prices. In the news often and doing business in China, but the Electric automotive business is growing and the competition is growing with it.

ZAP can be an active stock, up 50% on any week would be the norm. ZAP has news often but slow growth has been the habit. Also, it appears the price of the stock is not something management is concerned about.

Entry OK here but "Best Bet" is in under 0.20!
 

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 there 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.
