ADPT.. AGY, MENT
AGY, with new legislation on gambling passing every week, AGY could continue to make nice strides.
ADPT, I certainly hope it can get through since I'm already in it.
MENT .. still a great chart despite the erratic market environment. A stock with a solid earnings report and earnings acceleration quarter after quarter is one to keep.
Adding a really good technical chart adds only to the attraction of MENT.

Mentor Graphics Announces EPS More Than Doubles to $.16 on Revenues of $128M; Orders Up 15% With Record Backlog
WILSONVILLE, Ore., May 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT - news) today announced first quarter 2000 revenues of $128.1 million, and earnings-per-diluted-share of $.16, exceeding First Call© analyst consensus estimates of $.09. Backlog reached record levels for a first quarter. Gross margin performance at 79.1% added approximately $.05 to earnings-per-share above First Call consensus estimates. An earlier reported gain on a land sale was significantly offset by other non-operating costs. Bookings were strong, up over 15% over the year ago quarter.
Some of these smaller stocks will keep us going quite nicely while waiting for the other larger cap techs to rebound. Energy is king as well. Energy stocks have really filled the gap in longer term trades.

The Wall Street Transcript Publishes Gaming Industry Management Performance Review
NEW YORK, May 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Five leading analysts and top management from five sector firms examine the Gaming Industry in the latest issue of The Wall Street Transcript (212/952-7433) or twst.com
In a vital review of this sector for investors and industry professionals, this valuable 60-page report features:
1) The TWST confidential Off-The-Record survey of management performance at nine Gaming firms asked market insiders about the ability of management teams to create shareholder value.
According to this money manager, ``The guys at Argosy (NYSE: AGY - news) are really great! Their stock was up something like 400% in 1999. It's a small cap stock, but one that's performed quite well. They brought in a new CEO three years ago, Perry, who is great. In fact, they just announced their first quarter results and beat everyone's estimate by a wide margin. So Argosy seems to just keep on ticking.'' |
