The difference between AVCO and HCT is that HCT is MAKING MONEY, and float is only 290K shares, vs. 1.9 million shares!!! And, they are in similar markets. The problem is, HCT does not have a decent public relations department. Could you imagine what would happen if people woke up and smelled the coffee??? Here, on one side you have AVCO; bleeding badly (negative PE) and a float of 1.9 million shares; on the other side, you have HCT, with STEADILY RISING earnings and a PE of about 8, and a float of 290K shares. HCT could go to the moon!!!
I don't know about lurkers. If you are right, some people made some money on my recommendation of PR last month. Hopefully we will all make some money off my current recommendation of PR, HCT, CIS, CYSP, GMAI, and NETS.
Personally, I would probably hold off until after Jan 12 on PR, since that is the date of their stock dividend payment, to see what happens. I expect the stock to drop a bit then, but to pick back up into the end of the month. I have Feb 10 calls, and will probably sell them in the next day or so. But, I plan to buy stock or options at any dip after that, since I think PR is a $40 stock. I only wish I had held my other "$40 stocks" (CCU, EGRP, WCII, etc.)
