"Stocks To Watch" "Stocks To Watch" are some of our favorite choices for the current market with most having established trading ranges. We try to work with-in the trading range and feel this group of stocks are active stocks and are worth taking a closer look. Sunday, June 28, 2009 The prices below are the closing prices on the last trading day of each week and are compared to the closing price the week before. Closing prices on Friday June 26, 2009
***** "Buy Here" Moved buy up from under $3 to under $4 Advanced Micro Devices
(AMD) (52 week range 1.62 - 6.47), now at $3.62, off from $3.87 last week. AMD is here to stay. In the last bear
market AMD was one of the first ones to fall, but also one of the first to climb back. The stock has already made
a strong move higher since the low, but the recent backing has been for no real reason and is offering another
opportunity. AMD is not as big as Intel and will not need as much business to survive. The recent mega fine from
Europe against Intel will benefit AMD. The falling economy may send many PC shoppers to the lower prices found
on computers that use AMD chips. "Hold Here" Cisco Systems (CSCO) (52 week range 13.61 - 25.25), now at $18.91, off from $18.92 last week. CSCO moved from over $34 to under
$14 and a new 52 week low, before turning back up. Strong earnings and a solid market makes the stock a special
one to watch, or buy. I expect a move to over $20 now that it is a member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average replacing
GM. Entry best under $15!
A "Buy on Dips" "Spotlight Stock" 3 Com Corporation (COMS) (52 week range 1.43 - 5.22), now at $4.80, off from $4.49 last week. 3 Com has a book value of $2.74 (an approximate increase of about 10% in each of the prior 2 Q's), making the stock still undervalued even after the move up (new 52 week high 3 weeks ago). A real plus is the way the stock price held over the last couple of months, Taking off 11 weeks ago and still climbing as it reached the $5 level. It shows the activity this one offers. The recent backing caught support near the 4 1/2 level and up again. If in near $2, sell 1/2 here and keep the rest! Entry best if under $3.75, but longer term can buy on dips!
***** A "Featured" "Spotlight Stock" "Buy While Under $35" Comtech Telecommunications
(CMTL) (52 week range 19.56 - 51.21), now at $30.71, up from $30.03 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 industry is one of the best places to be. Continue to buy while under $35!
A "Featured" "Spotlight Stock" A "Buy Now" STOCK Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc.
(ESNR) (52 week range 0.005 - 0.19), now at $0.02, off from $0.024 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. Exterra Energy, INC
(EENI) (52 week range 0.05 - 42.00), now at $3.00, up from $2.25 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. This reverse, and
then 5 million new shares issued to the board after, means the shareholders lost a bunch of the company, but the
new shares can't trade, meaning a stock that will be able to move a quick few bucks either way. The reverse knocks
the float down a small amount, which will remain a small amount for at least 6 months.
A "Sell 1/2 Here" "Spotlight Stock" Fonar Corp. (FONR) (52 week range 0.62 - 3.92), now at $1.68, off from $2.28 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. A 1 for 25 reverse split (a bit over a year ago) makes this one a
whole new ball game, one that Fonar has been losing. Great
products would be the reason to own this stock, but play it short-term only. The stock moved from 0.70 in March,
to over $3.90 in mid-May and back down to the current level under $2. The stock price
jumped 6 weeks ago to a new 52 week high of $3.92 and has backed off since. You should already be out of 1/2 of
your position.
A "Hold Here" Stock Intel Corporation (INTC) (52 week range 12.05 - 24.74), now at $16.29, up from $16.01 last week. A leader in the Nasdaq arena and a very active and well known company. I really like the company and it is here to stay. Three weeks ago, Intel was slapped with a $1.45 billion fine by the European Commission over what regulators allege were illegal practices designed to help the company maintain its market dominance. Intel has vowed to appeal the ruling and the fine -- the largest ever imposed by the E.U. regulator. AMD has much to gain from the decision. Intel is a long term stock. Hold here with best entry under $13!
A "Featured" "Spotlight Stock" A "Buy Now" STOCK Jet Gold Corp. (JAU.V) (52 week range 0.04 - 0.42 (Canadian)(Pink Sheets JAUGF), now at ¢0.11, off from ¢0.10 last week (Canadian) (U.S. = $0.11). Jet Gold is an exploration and development company with interest in natural gas, oil, precious metals and coal. The new venture into the coal business is a great move for Jet Gold and offers an opportunity to turn a small company in to a big one. The possibility of having 200 million tons of coal is astounding, but if Jet can only find 1/2 of it, it would still be astounding. Coal has been touted
as a low cost alternate energy source. Jet Gold looks like a good bet and should be considered a stock to own for
the longer term. The stock has a history of quick moves higher, meaning anything near 0.10 is worth a extra hard
look. The stock has been showing strength lately, meaning higher ground may be on the way. Taking advantage of
the new all-time low area for the price of the stock.
***** "Hold Here" Novell (NOVL) (52 week range 2.97 - 6.62), now at $4.62, off from $4.68 last week. A company with a strong customer base,
NOVL switched to becoming a major force in the Linux computer operating system. The Linux operating systems is
growing and there is a place for it. Book value is about $3.20 per share and the company is setting on about $1.04
billion in cash, with total debt at only $121.6M. As Linux grows, so should NOVL.
"Hold Here" Qualcomm (QCOM) (52 week range 28.16 - 56.88), now at $46.19, up from $46.00 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
$6 billion in cash. The three dips under the $34 support level, late February to mid-March, was one too many times
and up since, gaining about 30% in about 7 weeks. Continue to hold here. Best entry on anything under $34!
- Nice Long-Term Stock - A "Very Active" "Spotlight Stock" TetraTech (TTEK) (52 week range 14.20 - 30.15, now at $29.74, off from $29.87 last week. A very very nice young company in a great industry. The stock has a strong base near $17 and and does not stay down very long. A very strong stock to own if we can get in lower. If TTEK falls to the $20 level again, jump in. A nice stock to own. Hold here, with best entry under $20.
A "Spotlight Trading Stock" "Hold here" ZAP (ZAAP.OB) (52 week range 0.09 - 1.19), now at $0.38, off from $0.40 last week. There is little doubt that electric transportation can only grow and ZAP will grow with it. The industry is exciting and this company is a growing part of it. ZAP is a very active stock and always had the capability to trade considerably higher, and it also has the capability to do so quickly. The stock jumped from 0.156 to a close at 0.40 6 weeks ago and back down to the low 0.30's, back to near 0.50 and showing support at the 0.40 level this past week. There is still more room to climb, but strong resistance at 5/8 is a reason to sell 1/2 if we see it. Hold here, sell 1/2 over 0.62!
A "Going Private" "Spotlight Stock" Move the money to ZAP Zila Inc. (ZILA) (52 week range 0.03 - 3.08), now at $0.36, off from $0.36 last week. Nice company with nice products (oral
cancer diagnostics products, and others), but having money problems. ZILA just announced that it would complete
a merger with a private company for 0.38 per share. Since you have little choice, sell it and invest the money
in a true bargain for the current timers. I still like ZAP, but it has moved up. Just a thought. I am looking for
a place for all of you. Wish me luck as we bid ZILA farewell. I
will be removing ZILA from our Stocks to Watch!
