I've owned more graphic chip stocks
over the years then I'd care to admit, and one thing I've learned in all that pain is product transition cycle periods are ALWAYS a bitch on shareholders. It's usually AFTER the new product hits the streets, and begins to show signs of acceptance that shareholders cash in. Better news would be solid diversification wins into NON-Graphic chip projects like DVD, digital camara's and so fourth, but success in those markets is a uphill battle as they must defeat HUGE South East Asian players in the consumer electronics game, who would sooner bid products below their cost, then give up and inch to any foreign new entry. Your $40 price target is ridiculous, and 18 months is an eternity in this biz, or is based on a trailing P/E matching the S&P P/E average. the S&P P/E average is already too high; (which is why money is flowing away from overvalued large cap stocks in other directions, just check any index mutual fund against any growth fund and you'll see what I mean) graphic chips stocks rarely are granted parity valuations. If NMGC ever returns to previous highs, before insiders dilute the sh!t out of it, would be miracle enough. (ask anyone on the TDFX, SIII thread about what I'm talking about, and they will agree with me whole heartedly) Thanks for posting the 08/19 earnings date. You can expect NMGC to be very quiet till then. I'll watch NMGC for now, hoping for a confident re-entry point over the next 4 weeks. I almost wish there was no upgrade today. Otherwise, we might have picked up really cheap shares this week. Patience... |
