Pete's Money Makers

[riverbabe]

HOKU and NVTL...... are as the Kingfish would say " Lawdy Honey Child. Dees Sho Be 2 Fine Stox."

LOL! Dating yourself Peter??? River

[Peter Hansen]

River So Funny !

River needless to say ......I have been around awhile ....54 yrs......but hey I am young at heart........ and not ready for the glue factory yet LOL

[Peter Hansen]

NB Thanx For input

HOKU just exploded out of a two year cup . . . could retest the lip of the cup, but price target is $29.75 on a $13.70 stock. Maybe buy and hold wouldn't be too bad.

NVTL: another cup explosion, this time with a price target of $46 (current price $27.19). It, too, may retest the lip of the cup, but it sports a pretty chart also.

NB I always love your technical analysis ......thank You !

Never catch a falling knife, but AHM may be one to watch.

Salient points

1. Close 7/12/07 $14.45 Closed at $34.62 1/3/07

2. Has a PE of 4 WOW

3. Has an Earnings yield of 4.20

4. has Price To Sales of .35

5. PAYS ( Hang On To Your Hats ) Dividend of $2.80 or a blazing 19.4%


I need some input on this one ......What Say You?

Wait for the $2 entry.

Really.

Hey, if those FA figures you quote were really accurate, do you think people would really be selling off AHM? No, I think insiders are dumping shares. I don't want to pick them up until they prove to me, via the chart, that the FA is accurate.

IF I threw up a four year weekly chart on AHM, you'd see that she busted years long support at $18, and both Dow Theory and PnF charting screams the $2 target for the bottom. I'd just look for another bull and forget this cow. May I suggest ICE?

Best to ya, Pete!

[spikefader]

LOL Newborn, we're on the same page again. I rate AHM a -90% stock, and reckon that you may not be too far wrong on the target there.

[Peter Hansen]

NB & Spike Thanx

Nb The Figures were obtained from Vector Vest.....AHM lost another 2.5% today, well on a positive note ......the dividend is now 2.80/14.09 = 19.87% .
Then again .....what good is a dividend if the stock goes belly up ......oh well I will keep watching and wait for an upturn. Spike thanx for your confirmation.

EMC Corp ( EMC ) close 7/11/07 $18.92 , helps organizations of every size, worldwide to keep their most essential digital information saved, protected, secure, continuously available and easily accessible. Maybe some of you had EMC back in 2000 when the bubble burst and 90% of its value was gone, but EMC today is a horse of a different color.

Some Salient Points:

1. EMC has been in a "Base" trading range for the past 4 yrs moving between $9.50 and $15.00.
2. EMC recently broke out of the 4 yr trading range on "Heavy" volume. This usually indicates heavy institutional accumulation.
3. The old resistance of $15 has now become the new support level.
4. Joe Tucci one of the BEST restructuring guys in the business joined in 2001, and took over as CEO in January 20006.
5. Joe strengthened EMC's management team with integration of executives from other major companies.
6. The stock trades 30,000,000 plus shares per day.
5. The stock has been "Dead as Casey's Nuts" lately because since 2001 24 companies have been acquired by EMC.
6. EMC allows companies to do more with less. They help oraganizations to extract the maximum value from their infromation, at the lowest total cost , across every point in the information lifecycle, through utilization of a mangement cycle called (ILM ) Information Lifecycle Management.
7.The stock has "DOUBLED" over the last 18 months !

Mr Tucci appears to have all his ducks in a row, and with institutional buying coming in ....defintely EMC will now begin its ride up.
Vector Vest recommends a TSL of 12% and for the option players buy the 2009 Jan 10 call option.

Good Luck To All!

I also like EMC here...earnings earnings earnings

GOFH will drop to .10 by the end of the year.

I am not saying anything against you, Pete. But Vector Vest must be looking backwards for those figures, not forwards. Nobody throws a 20% divy away. At least, no rational person.

Chartwise, we are looking at a price target of $27.50. I don't want it below $16. Support right there at $20. Could be a takeover candidate.

[Peter Hansen]

NB Thanx for IIIN info

NB you have a good point there, perhaps a buyout of IIIN is inevitable. IIIN is only up 12.% YTD and has traded pretty flat since 2006 .......who knows? As far as steel goes, POSCO ( PKX ) is up 81% YTD and clearly the winner here. Maybe that Mittel steel guy or PKX will be a buyer of IIIN? I am sure IIIN has lost business to foreign competition........take care and God bless!

IIIN is one of many on my list of watch stocks....it got there because its returns over the past 5 and 10 year period have been outstanding. However, you can't make money on past performance and its been stuck in the mud for quite a while now. It did pop up last week above 20, but there's no volume and it dropped back. I'm pretty sure it will eventually get going but in the meantime, there's others out there more "ready" in the steel sector.

TWIN MIVA MHJ NEVER 3 on a match!

During World war II it was considered bad luck for soldiers sitting in a foxhole to light up 3 smokes with one match. The reason was quite obvious. The additional time required was sufficient fo a Japanese sniper to place his X-hairs on the victim and BANG ......Sayanora ....a bullet through the head , and unfortunately a bad way to end the smoking habit.
The 3 stocks I mention today may not blow a hole in your portfolio......but rather may blast it into orbit.

TWIN UP 131.4% YTD, MIVA UP 121.9% YTD and MHJ Up only a mere 88.19% YTD.

Twin Disc Inc. ( TWIN ) Close 7/13/07 $81.81.
1) TWIN is involved in the design , manufacture , and sale of marine and heavy duty equipment , primarily in the US , and has been around since 1918.
2) PE is 16.83, EY 5.94, and P/s of 1.60
3) Earnings growth of 22% and sales growth 35% per year.
4) The chart looks good.

MIVA Inc. ( MIVA ) Close 7/13/07 $7.50

1) MIVA operates as an online media and advertising network company in Europe and North America.
2) Basically MIVA's fundamentals are lacking; however, it may be taken over by either Google, Yahoo or Microsoft.

Man Sang Holdings ( MHJ ) Close 7/13/07 $9.29.

1) MHJ is involved in the purchasing, processing , and assembling merchandise, and wholesale distribution of Pearls, Pearl Jewelry , and other Jewelry products worldwide.
2) It owns prime real estate acreage in the booming Shenzhen China area.
3) MHJ owns 55% of a project under development called China pearl and Jewelry City or CP&J City. The project will be completed in mid 2008 , but sales and leases in the area are on the upswing and real estate values are going through the roof.
4) MHJ has 40 .7 Million in CASH and NO Debt.
5) With about 55% of the float owned by 3 large US institutional investors, only 2.9 million shares are left for public trading.

MHJ is a sleeper ........but I look for big profits down the road.
