Comments/Ideas on sub $5 stocks

[Dave]

TIVO is very, very risky right now. They are probably being dumped by DTV, which may not be a bad thing in the long run, but will certainly hurt the stock near-term. The losses continue to pile up, and unless you want to hold for a year or so, I would move elsewhere. I want to emphasize that TIVO has to change their goal and business model or they might be end up BK.

Careful!

Becoming concerned on the disinterest in TIVO now......... Hope to see a low volume selloff today and a movement higher in the coming week........

As far as MRTX....... I can't find that symbol...........

Did you try MTRX, that might be it.

I have heard that about TIVO on a couple fronts now..... I was thinking a 3 to 6 month hold but am beginning to think any move back up could be the exit..... Too bad. I really love the product, and wish the debt wasn't growing!

Did not try MTRX. Will tonight.

TIVO jumped back up and over my entry point....... I see a large volume return there...... perhaps hold for a little more, as now I have a solid stop in place above my purchase point.

Well I have been gone for a while but am back and now am looking once again for a Sub $5 stock to add to my pot. What are you thinking could be a good one? I am lookikng for some solid volume on it though. I always find those easier to read....... but maybe that is just me...........

Could look at CBB, or TGA

Look at SYGR

SYGR. WHY you say? Because this baby is going to pay a .42 dividend. That's better than 10%, and gives you a safety net. The dividend has just been announced about one week ago, and all the details are not yet fully in place. When that happens, you should get a bounce up in price as the ex-date nears. So I think it may be a good time to buy.

The dividend will cost SYGR around $6-7M cash. A day after announcing the dividend, they announced a placement of $175M stock for cash. Sounds like robbing Peter to pay Paul, if you ask me. Maybe the dividend is just to make the stock look better, and bump the price up for the offering? I dunno, but to me a dividend should be something the company pays when it's got extra cash, not when it needs to raise more.

Remember, a safety net's great, but you just gotta check to make sure the holes in it aren't too big!

I also feel the same way about oil/shipping company dividends, which look great when they're paying $10/shr because oil is at $45/bbl. Just remember that oil was $35 just a little while ago, and could be $35 again some day (of course it could be $55 just as easily). Will FRO still pay out $10/shr when the profits drop in half?

I'm not saying buy or don't buy dividend paying stocks, just that a dividend is no guarantee that a stock won't turn sour on you just as soon as one that doesn't pay a dividend.
