PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan30/04.) Expected to earn $0.07 in '05 and $0.13 in '06. At current price it is approximately 21 X P/E. Introduced a new product which has allowed them to move into new markets with less expensive price points and larger than their existing market. Signed a new distribution agreement with the largest Xray distributor in China. Good back log. Still a Buy.
DON'T BUY
News has become worse and the stock is down about 10% today. At the bottom of his database. CEO has left and the CFO has temporarily taken his place. Earnings estimates declined by 60% in the last 90 days. Had a 15% negative earnings surprise. Expect to lose $0.06 at the year end of Apr/06.
DON'T BUY
Has been a disappointment after they finished their radar contract with the US military. No re-initiation of that contract. Earnings are down. Ranks just below the mid-point on his database. Trades at a 10 X P/E. Have new health contracts and if they can show stability, earnings are expected to grow at 19%.
DON'T BUY
Have some interesting technology in encryption and are looking at licensing it. Had a negative earnings surprise when they reported their earnings. Earnings are expected to go from minus $0.13 to break even in '06. Ranks poorly in his model.
WAIT
Have the FDA approval. The challenge in the recent quarter is that sales have been almost non-existant. Now ramping up their sales force which will be an increase in expenses. An excellent product, but a "wait and see" stock. Earnings may take a year, if not longer.
BUY
Their product allows electrical utilities to find out, on a large scale basis, where trees and undergrowth and brush is encroaching on their power lines. Has pretty good sales and backlog. Feels there is very good opportunity for them over the next couple of years.
BUY
Performance has been disappointing. A couple of its end customers have announced new contracts for ceramic pieces for bullet proof vests. Expected to report on Aug 23 and earnings are projected to be $0.26. Ranks just out of the top quarter of his database. Feels there continues to be very good growth opportunities for it.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 14/05. Down 15%.) A general concern on gaming stocks. Ranks just out of the top 25% of the database model. Earnings estimates continue to be revised upwards. Had a very large financing in the UK. Many other gaming stocks are attracting attention.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 14/05. Up 12%.) Continues to rank well (in the top 24%)in his model. Now doing large screen presentations of first run movies.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 14/05. Up 6.5%.) Continues to do well.
BUY
Earnings estimates are approximately $0.02 in '05 and $0.06 in '06. Assuming they can deliver those earnings, that is less than a 10 X P/E multiple. Company appears to be growing quite well. Speculative.
WEAK BUY
Ranks poorly in his model at 580 out of 700. If the stock can get above $3.45 then the game is back on. Earnings report is due soon and the question is, can they hit their earnings estimates of $0.08. Of more interest is earnings for '06 where the forcast is $0.22 which would give you a 15 P/E against 67% earnings growth. Could be a trading opportunity if techs move up.
DON'T BUY
Continues to have a slugfest versus Nvidia (NVDA-Q) in the graphics acceleration side. Ranks in the bottom 10% of his database. Earnings have declined 83% of the most recent quarter and estimates have been chopped by 40% for the Aug '06 year.
DON'T BUY

Quest (DGX-N) has done a "toe-in-the-water" on their product giving them a limited exposure to it. Was the product successful and will Quest and others broaden out their purchases? Very interesting product. Ranks poorly in his overall model at this point.

DON'T BUY
Basically a holding company with a great variety of other technologies. Near term everybody is focused on their flat panel. Ranks at about halfway on their model. Earnings are expected to decline by 37%. A lot of money for a company not going to make any money. Good technology, but a lot of competition.
