Doug: < An FA Look at AKRN and ADVS > Or "How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb" ( Whatever that means! <G> )
ADVS FA: exchange2000.com

AKRN FA: exchange2000.com
Of the two, I have to like AKRN the best, for many reasons.
AKRN has had very strong Insider buying ( Recently too!! )Some open market, some by exercising options. Little Insider Selling.
ADVS has had some insider buying but almost equal amounts of insider selling.
Insider Trades, AKRN wins hands down!
Growth of earnings est. seem to be about par, with a slight edge to AKRN Debt to assets for both companies look ok Book for ADVS is a very dismal $5.73 to a stock price of $33 7/8. Don't like that much at
all!
AKRN's book is only $1.05, but for a much smaller company I can live with that. Would like to see the book much better though!
AKRN has a rather large float of 10.6 Mil and ADVS has a somewhat small float of 3.80 Mil
ADVS Has Two Strong buys and Three Moderate buys. AKRN has just One strong BUY.
In all cases of comparing the two companies, everyone needs to remember, one is a $4.60 stock and the other is a $33.87 stock.
You can cut allot of slack for a $4 stock, MUCH more so then a $33 stock.
Just glancing over the numbers for each, I would almost want to short sell ADVS, BUT, Your TA must be picking up something GOOD coming that is not Obvious in the FA, or at least not to me.
AKRN seems like a real NICE BUY! Wish I had got in the stock before it started moving the last few days. Oh Well......
The insider Buying at AKRN is telling everyone something!!!
Personally, if the stock would settle back some, I would like to pick up some shares of this one, but do not think I will chase it from this price up.
Hope this helped some.
