Broke resistence just under 13.50 today.
Declared a dividend of .30 on Dec 1.
Unbelievable fundamentals.
This looks to me like a stock worth looking into.
Any thoughts?

Made my watchlist last week. I'll post a chart later tonite.

[peanuts]

Not too shabby; now added to my watchlist

Thanks Whizkid, dude, for bringing this to my attention. I see that Ski is working on some charts and stuff, and I was doing the same for the last few minutes. This is what I see:

Nice comparison against Berkshire Hathaway, which I was reminded of as I read the company profile. (It's almost like a teeny-tiny miniture BRK, but only in tech... hmm, not at all like Berkshire Hathaway, but here's a comparision, nonetheless )

And then I took a look at the most recent action of the young stock. Seems like this sucker wants to run away to the top of a mountain somewhere. I wonder just how big that mountain is going to be? Anyway, I saw this, you might want to keep it in mind...

Where did you find this stock? And what sort of fundamentals do you look for when researching various stocks?

[Gwhiz]

Peanuts,
I wish I could say that I found this stock using my quantitative momo-max methodology momentum swing retracement exceptional value screen, but I found it in a post on the IAAC message board.
One thing that I don't understand about this stock is that given its Market cap and growth, why isn't it more volatile?

I noticed that it has an enterprise value greater than the Market cap and that it has a very low p/b ratio, and low p/e, and exceptionally low forward p/e.

For real guys, HTGC has been on my list for two weeks. Hit the list at 13.13 last week and closed the week at 13.65. Still on this weeks list. Nice chart thanks for bringing it to our attention Whiz.

OK, Ski, I'm sure it was on your list first. I don't know why GWhiz's post brought it to my attention and yours didn't. Maybe because it was a single thread, single post, single stock... it could have gotten lost in the mix of the watchlist or I was just careless when I looked at your list before, dude. Ski, you're the coolest

GWhiz, what's up, dude??? Get with the times already. Didn't you see that Skiracer already posted about this stock? sheesh






(In case you can't tell, that last bit was sarcasm)

ALL,

I have got a question. I see that the RSI on HTGC is nearing the oversold level. Now I know that the fundamentals and most of the other TA is pointing towrd this being a good buy. Will the RSI keep this stock from breaking out?

I could care less about any of that Peanuts. You're such a jerk. I was just pointing out that it has been here for two weeks. What brought it on all of a sudden and I wouldn't exactly call .26 a breakout and anything to write home about yet. Neither one of you thinks enough of the stock to own it yet anyway.
Why must you act like that and get so carried away?

RSI doesn't give you information regarding 'overbought' or 'oversold'

RSI is just that, relative strength- you are relating the price performance of your stock to that of the rest of the market. You can change the settings to look at various time frames. A stock's RSI can be 99 (meaning that it is in the 99th percentile of the best performing stocks in the market) and it can continue to go higher and higher and higher and maintain that RSI, but never really be considered as overbought. btw: MSFT had a consistent RSI values in the 90's back in the 1980's when it was making its fastest advancement

I use stochastics (fast and slow) to help me to determine whether a stock is over bought or oversold. Look at the 2nd chart I posted above. See in the upper right corner? I put in there "overbought, accumulation, distribution, oversold" - you can get a good idea how money is transferring hands by looking at the stochastics like that.

Holy Cow, dude! Deep breaths, deep breaths, Ski. I wasn't being a jerk. Why do you always assume the worst in me?

You might be right in some of what you said. I'm not sure and couldn't say but Stockcharts definition of RSI gives a completely different definition more in line with oversold being under the 30 line and overbought being over the 70 line on the RSI indicator.

Relative Strength Index (RSI) A popular oscillator developed by Welles Wilder, Jr. and described in his self-published 1978 book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems". RSI is plotted on a vertical scale from 0 to 100. Values above 70 are considered overbought and values below 30, oversold. When prices are over 70 or below 30 and diverge from price action, a warning is given of a possible trend reversal. See ChartSchool article on Relative Strength Index.

It is my interpretation of RSI after listening to an interview with David Ryan. As far as RSI giving you overbought or oversold indications- that thesis would assume that if a stock is outperforming the market, then it must be overbought... and that thought just doesn't jive with me.

I was just showing what Stockcharts defines it as. I think there is plenty of room between the 30 and 70 parameters for a stock to be outperforming the market or stocks in its sector or group and that either below or above is Just an indicator to show that the stock might be at an extreme point and something to think about. I always look at it to see where the stock is within those lines.
