Billyjoes Top 10 Cheap Stocks

[billyjoe]

Ray,
GROW closed yesterday at 9.46 up 11.29% from Friday close. It opened today at 10.00 so I put a 7% stop on that price and it hit at 9.30 , but we made % on it.

These stops are such a necessity but boy you can love them and hate them at the same time.

Grow Down The Chute

[sirtuck]

Billy, What do you think of the stock ABB. I bought it at 6.90 a couple months ago and it having a great run.

[billyjoe]

Sirtuck,
ABB is doing great and has excellent projected future earnings and the funds were buying it up , but it doesn't come out on the top of my screens for several reasons. Its sales aren't so hot only up 13% from last quarter and ROE is -19. Mutuals funds have been selling it off lately. Its price has been holding well and I hope it continues to make you money. Maybe it will crack the top 10 in the cheap stock port in the future.

I dont understand the news on HOM...... what does it mean that they sell private placement of common stocks? I take it that this is a bad move? My stop is about to hit

[billyjoe]

Sisterwin2,
The way I see it, they took a stock that had just closed at 6.60 and to raise money to pay off debt, sold 4.8 million shares for 5.50 plus issued almost 900,000 warrants at .20 giving the holder the right to trade for shares at 5.50 within a 5 year period. Ripping off current shareholders and apparently perfectly legal. It would be interesting to see who got those shares and who decided to sell before the deal was made.

Don't know what happened? Sent you a post regarding Barcharts but It disappeared Was wondering If you subscribed to Barcharts and If you thought It was worth the price?
happy thanksgiving to you and your family

[billyjoe]

Ray,
All that I get from barcharts is free so it is definitely worth it. I didn't want to go much further into it cause they might start charging . Lots of free information. Am I supposed to be paying ? Just put in a symbol and click. Hit "projections" on the left hand side. Lots of neat stuff even if some of it isn't understandable. Hope you're not buried in snow.

billyjoe

[RL]

Thanks Billy for your reply. No snow for me live In the northern part of Erie county

[billyjoe]

Ray,
I also live in Erie County and my mother's family is from Erie County , Pa. We got about 3" of snow, but the bad part is the winds and low temps. In single digits last night may have set a record. It's supposed to get up to 57 degrees Monday.
