Chart shows a strong uptrend. Broke out to a new high in Nov/06 and if this is a good break out, we should not get below the old high of about $48-$49, which would be a technical weakness. For new money, put stops below that level.

TOP PICK
Feels technology will be one of the leaders going out of this turmoil. Long-term, not a bad place to be. World-class company. One of two major business intelligence players. Earnings growth is probably low teens at best but you're not paying a high multi

DON'T BUY
Ranks 288 which is roughly the middle of the pack. Earnings are expected to grow by 15% against a 21 P/E gives you a P/E to growth of about 1.3, which is fairly pricey. The business is stable and growing and there is a clear need for their product. Better opportunities elsewhere.

COMMENT
Had a correction and dropped about one third of its former uptrend. You want to see it break above $50 in a couple of months. If it doesn't, it means the trend is likely to fail and you enter a consolidation phase. It was a pretty powerful trend, which is a good sign. If it breaks through the $50, the target is $60.

HOLD
Should be a good hold for the next year or two. Goes through different product cycles and its latest product is just getting out into the marketplace. Could have a good healthy year of strong sales.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Has done very well in a short period of time. This company tends to do well in a softer economy. Try to buy $1-$2 cheaper.

BUY
Rumoured as a potential takeover candidate. #150 in his model which is in the top 20%. Analysts have increased earnings estimates 12% in the last 90 days. Expected to be $1.82 for Oct/07 giving a 23 P/E. Reasonable price.
