Cornhusker's Howlings

Good by

It is time to say goodbye to J I L L. She was one hell of a player, she gave me 16+% in the contest and now it is time to retire her nunber. I hope CHS kicks it in the ass and gives me her 16%. ===> MEA

Yes, I have mentioned MESA...Their EPS is projected at +63% this year and +33% next year. The PE is about 10. I think it may gain some more but the Airlines Group as a whole is sorta down the tubes...So even though it might be a decent company, it is difficult to buck the trend of the group. I would classify MESA as a high risk investment...IIC

MESA

My topic this week on the HOWLING is Mesa Air Group Inc. Mesa trades on the NASDAQ under the call letters of M E S A and had a close on Friday of $8.42 up 2.05% which equals .17 cents. Week over week there has been a rise of 2.58% in my long port. for this little hidden GEM that is undervalued per our friend IIC. On Jan. 2, 2004 this stock closed at $12.45. A lose in share price of $4.00 which reflects to me as a point of entry if so desired.

Mesa Air Group is made up of five subsidiaries which operate under the names of America West Express, United Express, Midwest Airlines And Mesa Airlines. This company has roughtly 4,600 employees, travels in 41 of the 50 United States plus offers a service to Mexico, Canada and Bahamas. This fine air group serves 161 citys daily with 1,000 departures from thier fleet of 163 aircraft.

On Jan. 27, 2004 Mesa Air Group offered a press release announceing they were adding an additional 20 CRJ-700 / 900 aircraft to there fleet. As I scan there releases I come across another positive point. That being an increase in air traffic. Dec. up 71%, Jan. up 75.2%, Feb. up 92.7%.

Another selection of press releases that appear to be point positive are thier announcements of approvel for subsidized air service from the Department of Transportation. These flights may only be an advancement of 4 to 8 flights weekly but I'm sure they do have an impack on Mesa bottem line and are essential for the cities that they are serving.

Personal Note

I may be wrong in this statement but if my memory serves me correctly this company started out in Farmington, New Mexico ( my wifes home town ) as a freight service and has deloveped quite nicely over the last twenty two years.
I feel that this stock will have quite an increase after this 1/4ly release.
Yahoo 1 yr. EST. is at $16.00+ there is room here to grow.
Mesa is trading above there three month ave. at present time.
P/B 2.13 P/S .40 PE (ttm) 8.34 ( for. ) 5.99
I'm also invested in a company that offers service to MESA in the area of maintamence. this company call is rdvn.ob
This is my take on this stock. In this one for life. Will continue to purchase on the dips. ===> MEA

MAYBE YES MAYBE NO

TRMM will rebound...IIC

TRMM will rebound...IIC

[MEA_1956]

Can you hear me now

I just found this a little strange today, .03 cents down on three differnt stocks. AEOS BJ JCP. DLTR .06 cents down. CWEI .07 cents up.

Sold off my TRMM today in hopes that my hunch is right. The hunch is that it is going to sell off about 60% and trade sideways for the next couple of months like my Sears has these last couple months.

After todays close INET reported that AEOS could share Good News with thier stock holders. Walls Streets 16 Cents was way short of AOES first 1/4 Earning which turned out to be closer to 30 Cents. FLY HIGH AMERICAN EAGLE.

It must be another one of them companies that are profiting from sales over the Internet.

FYI

Info per CBS Markrt Watch. ===>MEA

Sunday Night Special

J C Penney is my tpoice for the evening. She trades on the NYSE under JCP @ $34.30 Friday close. We faired qiut well this week with a 4.08% increase over last weeks close. There is no need to try and baffel you with talk about her financails so I shall leave this to the pros. Although there are a couple ofter insights that I would like to share with you tho.

J C P is one of the largest department store chains in the United States and also supports a cataloge div. and E-Commerce. This Comp. is headquarted Plaino TX. having 1,049 stores in the U.S. Mexico and Puerto Rico. The long arms of J C Penneys also reach into Brazil to fortify 58 Renner Stores which add handsomely to there earnings report.

One asset which they are tring to dispose of is there Eckerd Drug stores, which at the present time keeps bring a lose to there financcail report. The comp. C E O Allen Questrom is currently in talks with an array of possabile buyers eather as a whole or split the regions up. The possibable price this sale might fetch is in the area of 4 Billion Dollars.

In the Feb. 1, 2004 Issue of Lagistics Management Magz. the cover story, Secure From The Start, is an indepth story of how JCP is handleing there cargo in this post 9/11 world. With tightened boarders and stricter container inspection, JCP is receiving its cargo without any delays or disruptions in its supply chains. In Feb. 03, they applied with the U.S. Customs Bureau to recieve there C-TPAT validation and passed with fling colors.

Since JCP recieves the merchantdise from over 60 foreign countries and can not afford any disruptions. So they went to thier suppliers and demanded stricter rules and regulations on there part. So now thier cargo passes with little delay or disruption in the supply chain. So in short, I feel that thier management team is headed in the right direction to bring J C Penney back to the for front of the retail sector. ( If they only sold beer)

Another side of this stock that is appeling to me, is there stable growth in EPS which is stated to be around the $3.00 in the end of 2005.

Also there stable growth in stock price is appealing. As of late, during the past two sale off periods, this company has shown little effect on the price per share.

Personal Note

Another reason for liking this company is, it has helped my wife pick the decore for three rooms in our house that we have remolded in the last couple of years. I just felt that if you feed the hand that feeds youthere will be just rewards in the end. At the present time we are at a 94.33% profit on this pick so I feel the purchases made over the internet on our furnishing makes us even. So to prove to myself that I don't love this stock I shale put it to pasture when it reaches 100% along with TRMM, BGY, AND NCEN. Yes Sir, Sale half and put them to pasture.

Well this is it for tonights Howling. Please feel free to join me next week and don't be shy post your howling here.

Mid Week Howl

This stock opened on Monday morn. @ $33.58 And reached a new year high of $34.48. Vol. is topping its 3 month ave. by 270,000 share, and faring quit well against the present sell offs going on across the board. I see three differt companies have included this stock in there reports this week, with only a .17 cent drop at days end. This stock also has a 4.42%div. yeild to offer, for those that look in that direction. More later. ===> MEA

IT'S THE LAW

Ladies and Gentelmen Let the Howling Begain!!!!!!!!

Took some time to come up with this Idea and hope it plays out well. To go on record and deliver posts just is not my cup of tea. So I have chosen another path, in hopes that it offers less resitance. more amps, less voltage and blue flame combustion.

I, The Head Cornfuscker, DO Declare, This thread to be the Official Howling Spot for the Mister Market Group. At any point or time in a persons life that they feel like howling this is the place to accomplish such a task. I myself will also partake in this activity, Starting NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R R C is what I would like to howl about to night. It is an old topic, which I feel needs a little more air time. In the past, I was an oilfeild worker, and spent some time in the area in which this Company has purchased alot of mineral rights in and feel that they are on the right course of action. West Texas is a large region for a Company to expand into and with there acquisition complete they have set themselves up in perfect time as the price of oil and natural gas are at all time highs. To futher suport this post the Company has also acquired 400 miles of the gathering sys. to enhance there presence in the region.

To talk to you about a ballance sheet will be left to those that know what they are talking about. All I Know is they do show profitability aaaaand there returns of assets and equity are in the black. Revenue Growth is at 26.30% and Earning Growth is at 37.40% witch shows me there is a furture in there horizon. There 1 yr. EST. of $14.25 also points to growth in there per share price which is at $11.95.

To all the new commers, this post is just my own personal observation and holds no merrit. for I'm just a lowely Cornfuscker with no edu. in finnance, and owe my edu. to Mister Market and his band of merry investers.

Next Sunday Night I Shall Howwlllll Again about another stock in my personal portfolio and invite all to join in and share with us one of your own fav. stock stories for we all have a commom goal of profit taking. Whom ever shares the most stories on this thread will go do in history as a nobel person and will be loved by all. ===> MEA
