Dear Judy,
It was a pleasure to read your message, I apologize for the late response. My answers will be in the order of your questions. BNET had a huge runup from 13 to 49 7/8, as it turned from Synoptics + Wellfleet to BNET. The stock has a bright future still, but is acting tired after a huge runup. I do not know what your investment horizon is, but I would rather stay with CSCO, that is going to report earnings on 2/8, and will split on 2/16.
In regards to STRM: although ATM because well known, it's very far from being fully explored or fully implemented. If you will take a look at the behavior of the stock, it's making highs almost daily, on an increasing volume. It's irrelevant that it has already moved. Would you rather be on the best and strongest horse, or on the one that is stumbling behind? STRM also is splitting on 2/16.
STRM is growing much faster than BNET, and I would never buy stocks betting on sympathy from the group to which they belong. What you really want to buy is the stocks that give you an unequivocal message by its price behavior. I am strong, I am wanted, I am under accumulation no matter the price. You should LOVE to buy new highs. STRM, at present has support at 73 3/4, and the resistance was broken today at 82. Good luck, I hope I was helpful. Don't worry about your flaws, just think about the stock in terms of the psychology of your opponents.
