Re: Thanks!!!

Hey Strenz,

After a long time of loosing money in stock market I will be making some profit (VLGC). Thanks for nice picks. I hope it's time LENS starts its run.....

Regards

Happy to hear you're doing better now. LENS has been a little frustrating, but they sometimes do this, even for his HUGEness.

FYI - I dumped all my SCKT today at $3.14 for an average loss of 14%.

Two reasons:
1) End of year is a good time to take the loss to partially offset other ridiculous gains. Others may do the same.
2) Price/sales ratio is high by my standards, I now think there are better prospects.

Considering doing the same with my ill-fated LENS position, but only reason #1 would apply. LENS revenue growth is higher than SCKT's, and the price/sales is lower, and LENS is profitable by some measures.

This doesn't mean anyone else should do the same - remember, I dumped GORX for a loss, too, and it's done well ever since!

QVDX

With merger deal completed it's time QVDX makes it's run...

[stenzrob]

Dumped the LENS position today at $9.98 for a 23% loss. I don't understand why this stock hasn't done better than it has, but I have learned not to argue with the market. Losses taken in the cash (non-IRA) account before the end of the year to decrease taxes. Profitable positions in this account (VLGC +70%, QVDX +18%) will be held at least until after the new year, unless something really unusual happens. This account is now at over 50% cash, so I am perusing the candidates generated by my screen for a couple of buys. EONC is high on the list, for one. I'll post my decisions here, of course.

Certainly I am hoping that QVDX may start a move up now that the RWAV merger is complete.

I'm going to hold on to LENS, fortunately i got in at 10.08 and have not much to lose at this time. However, speaking of dogs I'm uncertain as to dump CBK or not and my 25% loss with it what is your take?

I've tried to find message boards to discuss a stock I'm really interested in but to no avail so I thought i'd just mention it here to get feedback, it's a penny stock of a company called SHEP Technologies (STLOF).

SHEP is an acronym for its product it is developing (Stored Hydraulic Energy Propulsion). It is aimed at using the power created from using ones brakes in an automobile, truck, etc and after storing that energy releasing it to accerate the vehicle, thus decreasing fuel consumption, engine wear, environmental emissions, etc.

SHEP has the attention of Ford and their prototype should be done by July.

The website has a good graphic explaining what it does as well as other info and figures. http://www.shepinc.com/

If anyone knows where I can find more info about this company as well as any feedback you may have I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Nate

Bought some EONC today - this is a classic setup, IMO. Meets all my screen criteria for revenue growth, financial stability, etc. Average volume is steadily increasing over the last several quarters, with up days on higher volume than down days. Down today on light volume, I picked up a starting position at $3.40. EONC and I actually go way back, I bought this back in July for $1.60, and sold it in August for $2.60.

GMAI broke out again on higher than average volume. My original position is now up 46%. (Actually, I sold the original $8.55 position for $11.10 just before they pre-announced next quarter report, duh, and was lucky enough to get it all back for $11.05 before it broke out.)
HBIO continues to climb stealthily toward a breakout. If the two year chart of this isn't a cup w/handle, then there is no such thing at all! My position is already up 40%, but there's more to come.
VLGC continues to climb, while the short interest keeps growing. This is a great candidate for a squeeze. If this breaks past $4, it could run to $8 before even slowing to take a breath. My position is up over 70% by NOT selling it all on the first pop, only half.
NTST and TRCI still look strong, but I sold about half of each to free up some cash in my IRA in case of an end-of-year or beginning-of-the-year opportunity. My original positions are up about 205% and 175% in these, plus I've traded more shares in each one several times profitably, buying on dips and selling on rallies, while holding a core position through thick and thin, mostly thick.
API is back near $2 support area again. I initially bought this at $2.08, and accumulated some more at $2.02. If I see another intraday dip, I'm considering buying it again, this time with the intent of selling the final 1/3 for a small gain like 25 or 30%.

Currently at 25% cash in my IRA and 35% cash in non-IRA. The end of the year and the beginning of the next year quite often brings on some interesting opportunities. Perhaps more weakness from weak or flat stocks at the end of the year from loss-taking to minimize taxes, and perhaps pullbacks on strong stocks at the beginning of the year, as people wait to take profits until the year is over. I will continue to be interested in the same stocks for the same old reasons, and just try to capitalize on any opportunity.

Good luck to all and happy holidays, feliz navidad! ... stenz

RE: CBK - to dump or not to dump

I'm going to hold on to LENS, fortunately i got in at 10.08 and have not much to lose at this time. However, speaking of dogs I'm uncertain as to dump CBK or not and my 25% loss with it what is your take?

Thanks, Nate

Personally, I see no reason to be in CBK. Growth wasn't that outstanding to begin with, and then they guided down. Almost all of the time, I maintain that it really doesn't matter if your current position is up, down or whatever. If you have reason to believe the stock will go up from here, hold it or buy it. If you think it will go down or nowhere from here, sell it if you own it and just ignore it if you don't. Near the end of the year is a good time to allow your current position to influence your decision.

[Mi6op]

That stuff reminds me of this:

That seems like a battery powerd car from what I see or something similar. SHEP will be used on autos with internal combustion engines. Their system would just be integrated into an auto somehow. Which I think Auto Manufacturers will embrace before a battery or power cell model. I also think the Trucking industry would be really interested as how they probably have a lot of engine wear/ diesel usage just from stopping and starting all the time. Also think of all that exhaust you see shot into the sky when a semi goes from complete stop to moving again. Now I'm no environmentalist by any means but I still understand the small impact that may have on the environment.


This website/Magizine did a test run of a prototype car http://www.ioreport.com/archive/list...0030221-1.html

Here is a quote of what Shep does and what Ford thinks of it from the article:

We were astounded when we actually had the opportunity to drive Ford's "Proof of Concept" Navigator and experienced SHEP working first hand. In a shopping mall parking lot directly across from a top secret Ford facility in Dearborn, Michigan, we drove the SUV. After achieving a speed of about 35 miles per hour, our editor brought the vehicle to a stop. The computer screen which had been rigged up between the driver and passenger seats showed the hydraulic pressure building in the accumulator system during braking.

When accelerating from a dead stop, the tachometer did not move above idle speed until the Navigator was already traveling about 25 miles per hour, meaning the engine had not engaged. It was simply idling. At about 25 MPH the tachometer jumped from 1100 to about 3000 RPMs, indicating the engine was now moving the vehicle. The transition was quiet and seamless; virtually unnoticeable if you weren't aware of it.

Since the engine is not used during the start up phase, Ford has determined the SHEP system as fitted on the Proof of Concept Navigator yields the following result:

38% improvement in fuel economy.
32% faster acceleration from a stop.
51% less pollution.
77% longer brake life.

12/23 update

EONC down again today, looks like I may have been a bit early to this party, and I have to help set up the chairs. My newest position, and the only one down for the day.

GMAI continues up on higher than average volume. Still selling at a PEG ratio of less than 1.0, this could still double from here, IMO.
HBIO continues to climb steadily toward a breakout.
VLGC is simply amazing. I'm up 83% in six weeks.
NTST and TRCI still steady, recovering from high volume peaks.
API moved up off the $2 support again, and I never got around to picking up more like I wanted. I may just have to buy more on the way up.
QVDX closed above $5 for the first time in six weeks. Like stocks54 said, "With merger deal completed it's time QVDX makes it's run..."

Happy holidays to all in the HUGE clan! ... stenz

Happy Holidays to all

Happy Holidays to everyone. I am holiding VLGC QVDX and LENS. I am very happy to see VLGC make the run. I probably should sell other positions and invest some in HBIO or probably GMAI?? This is where I feel I need to have more money...
