No BNGO or PTCH here at the moment. Picked up a fair amount of LPAC awhile back at 7/8, averaging down from the 1.5-1.75 range. The last two quarters have been .18 and .07 EPS, but they're in a seasonably weak period (should have dumped it when I had the chance, at 2.5). They should show good numbers next Q, but mainly from non-continuous operations. The stock has shown some recent life, now asking 1-1/8.
Can act like dead meat these days though.
CMED provided a pretty good opportunity recently, diving into the mid-6's. I bought back in the 7-7.5 range (sold off gradually do to previous weakness).
Got a tip on Joseph A. Bank Clothiers (JOSB) and bought in at the mid 7's. The numbers and growth seem better than most of the hot retail stocks, and there is talk that one of these, Men's Wearhouse, has an interest in a buyout. JOSB has been moving up pretty well, but may be a bit ahead of itself, evidenced by a drop (after a Strong Buy rec. came out) from an intraday high of 9 yesterday to 8-1/4. After a slow morning, things picked up again today, finishing at 8-3/4 by 8-7/8. ..But, if I'm in it, look out below (g).
Trying out the new fancy Telechart 2000 for the next week or two. Now, I can readily get BOP's on any listed stock, as well as intraday volume surges and other goodies. I haven't seem many interesting BOP's among the favorites, although BB stocks are inaccessible. Anyway, if anyone wants BOP readings on anything, nows the time to ask.
