As Web's World Turns

[peanuts]

Webs & Peanuts,
ASVI has been trading in a very narrow range for the last 9 weeks. What makes it so promising now ?

-------------billyjoe

I've always thought that the best way to learn is to do the work yourself, but maybe Rob could do a really nice revenue and EPS graphs for you, if he likes you, and you ask nicely Those graphs are better than anything else you can find out there.

Earnings are coming up, soon (within 1 month)

P/E is low compared to competitors

currently at technical support from 2004, with current TA indicating a ST uptrend, at least

The industry group has not been in favor recently, but the growth in all of them will attract attention when the markets settle down, soon.

5 year PEG rating is .7 (anything less than 1 is great)

Insiders are buying

less than 25M shares in the float

products which were in high demand over the summer should bode well for the earnings, and winter products are gaining market share

billyjoe, this company is simply one of the best growth stories out there. I think it is a great place to park my money for a few percentage points. It made my initial screen for earnings growth back in the beginning of August, but was eliminated from the top 5 because of the poor looks of the ST chart. The others that were eliminated from the screen were CPX and NNI

What do you think of ASVI?

[billyjoe]

Peanuts,
With EPS growth expected at 20% and sales growth at 27% it looks good but I also see some negatives .Technically the timing isn't good. It looks like a bottom fishing prospect to me . Having said that it'll probably go ape sh#* tomorrow. Good luck.

Bottom fishing is my specialty, because they usually do go ape sh#* after I buy them...jejeje

According to my exclusive VTP charting and ratings sytem, ASVI is presently set to make a nice run. It may not happen within the next couple of days, but chances are that it will happen sometime within the next few weeks. I'd bet my Vulcan a** on it.

I'll be on the road headed for Gatlinburg tomorrow. On Monday, I'll be headed on up to Ohio.
I'm taking a laptop with me, so I may still get a chance to enter a few trades.

The Vulcans see a huge profit opportunity in the near future with WiMAX technology...

http://www.hifn.com/technology/wimax.html

WiMAX Technology WiMAX is a new, standards based wireless technology, designed to solve the limitations both of Wi-Fi and last-mile broadband access.

WiMAX is the IEEE 802.16 Point-to-Multipoint broadband wireless access standard for systems in the frequency ranges 10 – 60 GHz and sub 11 GHz. Initially WiMAX will provide fixed nomadic, portable and, eventually, mobile wireless broadband
connectivity.

WiMAX basestations transmit up to 30 miles, but typically, the cell-based topology would mean a more typical radius of 3 to 5 miles. WiMAX systems can deliver a capacity of up to 75 Mbps per channel, for fixed and portable access applications.
This is enough bandwidth to simultaneously support hundreds of businesses with T-1 speed connectivity and thousands of residences with DSL speed connectivity. WiMAX technology will be incorporated in notebook computers and PDAs in 2006, allowing for urban areas and cities to become “MetroZones” for portable outdoor broadband wireless access.

Wireless service providers and telecommunication equipment industries are rallying around WiMAX technology because of its tremendous cost advantages to provide last-mile connectivity to large parts of the world that are too expensive to serve with wired technologies.

Due to the issues with WEP in the 802.11 Wi-Fi arena, the standards bodies are not taking any chances with WiMAX, and have prioritized security from the beginning. Therefore, basestation designers require a dedicated high performance security processor.

The WiMAX standard requires that all traffic must be encrypted with CCMP (which is Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol). CCMP uses AES to provide the encryption for secure transmission as well as data authentication for data integrity.

For end-to-end authentication, WiMAX uses PKM-EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol), which relies on the TLS standard which uses public key cryptography.


The Hifn 7955 and 7956 security processors are ideally suited for WiMAX and offer a suitable encryption / security solution for the evolving 802.16e standard. The symmetric key cores, which includes the ability to perform AES-CCM function, performs at 200 Mbps with 1500 byte packets. It is this small packet performance, coupled with the internal 32Kb of memory that makes the 795x processor ideal for WiMAX basestations by performing the complex encryption/decryption with minimal latency. For multiple-channel basestations, the 7956 processor offers all the features and functions of the 7955, but can perform AES-CCM with 1500 Byte packets at 275 Mbps.

The 795x also features a completely separate internal public key core, with a true random number generator, public key engine and independent 4Kb of internal memory.
This means the PKM-EAP functions for authentication will never impact the CCMP performance.

Both the 7955 and 7956 security processors have a flexible bus interface allowing you to connect to virtually any kind of processor through either a PCI 2.2 (up to 64-bit 66Mhz), a PowerQuicc I or a PowerQuicc II bus. They also include standard features, such as LZS data compression/decompression and IPsec security to support VPN connections on the backbone side.

The low-cost 144-pin TQFP is a single chip solution for WiMAX security functions, with no requirement for external memory or logic means there is a minimal impact of
your Bill-Of-Materials cost, and with a typical power dissipation of less than 1W is ideal for any basestation design.

The Hifn 795x security processor is deployed in WiMAX basestations from various industry leaders, and is an integral part of WiMAX basestation reference designs from
third party vendors.
Hifn Security Technology Benefits
• Line-rate WiMAX Security
• Cost-effective
• Low Power Consumption
• Ease of Integration Basestation
– Reference Design Available

I spent the day on the road from Gatlinburg to Berlin Ohio today, so no trades...but it was still a good day for my present positions.

I'll be in Ohio for the next few days before making my way back to Florida.

future with WiMAX technology...

Hey Yeah! They are showering half the town where I live with wimax and it’s free. Great more radiation to think about! I’m glad to see someone else knows about wimax…see my last post…

Or (World Interoperability for Microwave Access). This architecture has a range up to 25 miles with a data rate of 450 Mbps versus wi-fi of 40-50 Mbps maximum. At that range I can log into my school network from home. FREE Internet Service.

Online brokerage account scams worry SEC
Fri Oct 13, 2:32 PM ET

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061013/tc_nm/financial_sec_incursions_dc

High-tech crooks are hijacking online brokerage accounts using spyware and operating from remote locations, sometimes in Eastern Europe, U.S. market regulators said on Friday.
The computer "incursions" are a growing problem, said Walter Ricciardi, deputy enforcement director at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
"It's something we're very concerned about," he said in remarks at a legal conference in Washington.
About 25 percent of U.S. retail stock trades are made by online investors through roughly 10 million online accounts, according to brokerages regulator NASD.
Crooks will load a victim's computer or a public PC with a spy program to monitor a user's activities and capture vital information, such as account numbers and passwords.
The program then e-mails the stolen information back to the thief, who can use it to open victim accounts.
Once inside, the thief may sell off an account's portfolio and take the proceeds. Or electronically hijacked accounts may be used for "pump-and-dump" schemes to manipulate stock prices for profit, Ricciardi said.
Public computers in such places as Internet cafes and hotel rooms are especially vulnerable to incursions. But home computers may also be hit as spyware can be imported simply by opening an e-mail attachment, said John Stark, chief of the SEC's Office of Internet Enforcement.
Incursion scams under SEC investigation are far-flung. "We're seeing these frauds in offshore entities and persons, including those located in Eastern Europe," Stark said.
The SEC is working to track down the hackers and to educate online investors, he said.
Steps to fight incursions include securing an online account by changing passwords frequently and never using an unfamiliar computer to enter an account number or password.
To fight a similar problem, U.S. banks are exploring new online banking security technologies since a study showed identity theft via online banking is a fast-growing crime.

On the radio today there was some woman from Websense talking about attachments are not the hijacker's choice anymore...It is websites that grab your info...I just bot a new virus scan CD from Secure Resolutions...It is called Anti-Cyber Crime... Jeff Levy says it is the best...That's good enough for me http://www.jefflevy.com/default.aspx

Webs,
Speaking of ASVI , I'll bet you didn't see any Amish driving those rubber wheeled vehicles. Did you see any Amish driving their metal tracked tractors? Saw a bunch with Massey Ferguson's at the produce auction in Blooming Grove which would be northwest of Kidron , between Shilo and Shenandoah , one of the farthest points north in Ohio with big numbers of Amish. Got nice peaches for canning at 13.00 per bushel. Had to buy 5 bushels.

All I saw was a bunch of them driving buggies. I did see a few New Order Amsih pushing gas mowers in their yards...man they're getting liberal.

We went to the horse auction in Mt Hope which was fun. There were a bunch of Amish folks hanging out there. Right before the auction we had lunch at Mrs. Yoders Kitchen. It's a good thing I don't live up there, because I'd have to eat at Mrs. Yoders every day and I'd get fat.

That's a lot of canned peaches.
