Rob,
Thanks for the list and your exclusive ratings. I'm dividing my portfolio in half and buying all your A+ stocks with 1/2 and shorting your F stocks with the other half. Then I'll retire in about 2 weeks.

No help on the OVTI T/A, eh? Well, okay ...

Do you see anything on this little list that you like?

Sorry, Rob, I looked at the OVTI chart, but I didn't see anything that jumped out at me as far as where it is going in the ST, so I didn't want to hand out junk. One thing that I can tell you about OVTI is that Barron's Technology Trader has given it, along with PSX, BDC, TRMB, PWAV, STXN, CACS, and TRID a positive mention on Aug 3, 2006

Of the others that are listed, I like PDC and HLX. I think that this commodity bull market will last several more years, and energy service companies should benefit from this. These 2 stocks are also those of which I track regularly, but currently do not own.

Do you see anything on this little list that you like?

I dislike LGF. Last quarter's revenues were the lowest in 9 quarters.

I dislike UTK. Way too volatile! Going short or long this stock is bound to be a huge gainer or loser—up to you to decide which. You might find this recent sharesleuth.com article of interest.

30 free trades per month. Nice. But now we'll have to see what the costs are for trades 31 to infinity (and for you overtraders) and beyond.

OVTI

Robert,
I would say that the pattern is busted BUT may be reactivated IF OVTI can jump above that resistance line you have drawn. In other words, if she goes up above that neckline, I would still trade it as a genuine pattern.

I have been gone for days and couldn't answer sooner.

Here are the results of my PNKUWG screen that I used to track here. These are stocks that pass a certain screen designed to return companies with some relatively good fundamental numbers, but which may be underpriced. Do you see anything on this little list that you like? (I don't know why the ATA & CHK cahrts didn't show up. Sorry 'bout that.)

OVTI - Technical Question

I was just looking at a chart of OVTI, and it looks like it broke through the neckline of an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern and is retesting that line.

I need you T/A people to help me out here. In the T/A world, is this indicative of a busted pattern? Or does this happen often just prior to another significant gain?

This chart is a 3-month daily, and the little inset shows a 1-year daily, so you can see just how high this stock has been recently.

Hey Rockin'Rob, Do you still follow CYTC? I'm buying a few shares ahead of the report just for fun. Looks like it has retraced nicely and put in a double bottom to boot.

CYTC is doing pretty well after earnings, up 4%+....

Too bad my CYBE is down 9%. I'll hold it long term, I think it'll be worth $20+ in twelve months.... This stock is a bargan at $13. They have zero debt, they are growing sales at a 44% clip year over year, earnings are up 168% year over year and they have over $5 per share in Ca$h ($49.65mm+).... I listened to the CC and it was pretty good imo. The company has been buying back it own shares, I like to see that.

Morons

So who are these morons selling IMCL down over 1% in premarket? What were they expecting? $1.00/share earnings? What a bunch of idiots.

Like I said ...

I haven't followed it in quite a while, so I don't know what's up with them.

By the way, check the voice mail on your cell, dude.
