COMMENT

Has been very strong in a weak market. Doing a lot of things right. The trend is your friend on this one.

COMMENT

Manufactures natural gas vehicles. Just signed a deal with Volvo, which is pretty important for them. He always had a problem because they always seemed to be raising money. Now getting traction on deals and revenues and stars are starting to line up. Could be a takeover target in a couple of years.

DON'T BUY

Manufactures natural gas vehicles. Very active in California and were hoping to get government regulations in their favour to mandate natural gas fleet vehicles but things did not go their way. They will need government support.

HOLD

Using natural gas to power fleet based vehicles. (Thinks there was a ruling in California that went against them.) Have enough cash to tough it out. Getting business around loading docks.

STRONG BUY

Has technology allowing conversion of a diesel engine to natural gas. Not only an economic benefit but also an environmental benefit. At these prices, it is a steal.

TOP PICK

Converts diesel engines to natural gas. Diesel is more expensive than oil due to refining problems. Did a share consolidation to get on the NASDAQ and it really hurt the share price.

COMMENT

Allows large diesel engines to be run on compressed natural gas. Huge tax incentives in the US, particularly California. Especially effective in Los Angeles Port for pollution reduction. Port has said they will buy the trucks and lease them back. Some debate on truck drivers being unionized or not, which is where it currently stands. In the top 25% of his database. Earnings expected to improve but will still be negative to 09. Speculative. He owns a small position.

TOP PICK

Diesel engines that work on natural gas. Have approval for a $1.6 billion clean truck superfund. New legislation means that large polluting trucks will be removed. They have just received a $2.5 million contract. Speculative, but has broken out from a relative strength viewpoint as well as a price viewpoint. Strong possibility of increased sales in Australia.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Finally getting some traction. Signing deals. Relationships are starting to pay off.

BUY

Went through a bit of a correction that was slightly bigger than he would have expected. Came out of a big base building formation in April. Had a correction in July and is now ready to begin a new up leg. In the right kind of a fundamental area. The new floor is between $1.75 and $2.00.

DON'T BUY

Earnings expected to grow from -$.23 to -$.19 and then to -$.12 in 2008. Ranks in the bottom 10% of his database.

DON'T BUY

A tough one to call. The stock has the potential to be a trading vehicle. Company has promised a lot, but has not delivered.

DON'T BUY

Multiple is too high. Not appropriate for a GARP investor. A strong story and a strong company. Have come a long way.

DON'T BUY

Very interesting technology. Ranks in the bottom 15% of the database. Earnings forecasts is a loss of $.35 which is an improvement from $.57.

BUY

Using natural gas. Wouldn't buy.
