And she's off!

LOL

Must have liked the poem!

Batman,

Did you know NGPS will report earnings on March 10? Does that mean now is the time to buy or what?

MARCH 10: Doomsday?

NGPS watchers:

NGPS was down another $1.10 today. Very, very low volume, too. Earnings report comes out Thursday, March 10,2005.

I have the gut feeling that NGPS is going to spike upwards a good bit on the earnings news.

[jiesen]

could get a nice $1-2 spike from today's AH news of the India contract also...

[spikefader]

Well New-born, the chart whispers lower unfortunately!

[jiesen]

hmmm, maybe I will keep my finger on the sell button just in case...

[New-born baby]

You may be right!

Well New-born, the chart whispers lower unfortunately!

Spike,

Yeah, the chart looks pretty tough, doesn't it? And that $1.10 drop today on an $18 stock--well, it's not falling softly, is it? Losing 6% per day is awful. I am just glad I don't own any.

Still, my gut says we are going to get a spike to maybe $20. It could just be that my wife hasn't prepared supper yet, either! We shall know Friday.

NGPS "fans"

She's up $2.24 in the first ten minutes this morning with a good report. $20 is back in style, and I think she might be on the upswing again. (Let's hope so for Jiesen's sake!).

NovAtel Inc. Receives Contract for WAAS-GUS Signal Generators
Tuesday July 5, 9:16 am ET

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(CCNMatthews - July 05, 2005) - NovAtel Inc. (NASDAQ:NGPS - News), a precise positioning technology company, announced today that an order for four WAAS GUS-Type 1 Signal Generators was received from Raytheon Company in support of the US Geostationary Communications & Control Segment (GCCS) program. NovAtel completed shipments of these four GUS Signal Generators in June 2005. The value of this recent WAAS contract award is approximately US $295,000.


NovAtel has been working with the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Raytheon Company for the past two years to engineer and produce this new generation of key WAAS ground network and Ground Uplink System (GUS) equipment for Prime Contractor Lockheed Martin, under a contract from Raytheon Company first announced by NovAtel on November 5, 2003. The Signal Generator NovAtel has developed for this WAAS ground system - the WAAS GUS-Type 1 Signal Generator - is a high performance L1 and L5 signal generator designed for use in the ground uplink system of Space-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS). The GUS Signal Generator is built with two independent L1 and L5 signal generators that precisely control the frequency and phase of L1 and L5 code and carrier.



The FAA determined that additional Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite services for the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) were needed to provide the necessary coverage, availability and improved continuity of service to the aviation user. The GCCS Program was then awarded to Lockheed Martin for additional WAAS GEO satellites, with Raytheon receiving a subcontract from Lockheed Martin for the ground based signal generator subsystem.

According to Tony Murfin, NovAtel's VP Business Development, "Following on the most recent WAAS contract announced in March for SBAS equipment in support of India's Geostationary Earth Orbit Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) program (see NovAtel press release issued March 8, 2005), this latest award continues NovAtel's push as the only supplier for WAAS-type network receiver equipment. As a Canadian company, we are also pleased to see that the new WAAS GEOs will provide much improved Northern coverage." The FAA's WAAS uses a widely dispersed ground-monitoring network to provide integrity continuity, availability and improved accuracy to the Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Positioning System navigation signal. The system of precisely surveyed ground reference stations positioned across the conterminous US, as well as Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, is used to collect GPS satellite data. Using this information, WAAS generates signal error correction and integrity messages and then broadcasts these messages via Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites to specially enabled GPS receivers onboard aircraft. WAAS will support both en-route and vertical guidance (down to a 250 foot decision height) phases of flight for users with certified WAAS avionics. WAAS is also being used extensively in other applications requiring improved accuracy without a local base station, such as agriculture, GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and for marine use.

Alright, I've missed this one. Can you guys tell me how much further upside there is?

[jiesen]

lots... NGPS=IBD#2 today

Alright, I've missed this one. Can you guys tell me how much further upside there is?

this is an unconfirmed rumor (and I don't really care all that much now that I've sold) but apparently NGPS made #2 on the IBD list today. maybe that's what drove it up to the level where I was tempted into selling it (and already I'm already felling dumb for doing that) but I think it could go quite a bit higher from here, and if IBD pumping has anything to do with it, you can look for it to see the 40s next week.

P.S. I just got their annual report package, and if anyone's interested I could FedEx it to you tomorrow (I'll be too busy with a friend's wedding this weekend to read it anyway).

I consider the IBD 100 as a shorting list...

P.S. Have you explained to your friend that marriage is an institution...a correctional institution. Hahaha!!! (I crack myself up)

[jiesen]

Well, I wouldn't recommend your shorting TOL, KBH, or GOOG, all $$MM holdings in the IBD top 10!

1-10:
TOL, NGPS, SQM, CTO, GOOG, KBH, MTH, TS, HOV, LB

My guess is that TOL will be sold Monday, though, after it passes 58 again.

A shorting list in a bear market, yes, but actually a shopping list in a bull market.

Webs, you crack me up, too

I was just kidding actually.
