THE RED CHIP REVIEW Investor Conference in Portland will featurea select group of companies that are not currently followed by THE RED CHIP REVIEW analysts. These companies have been reviewed by the RED CHIP team, who have determined that they show exciting promise. However, acceptance of an invitation to present at a RED CHIP Investor Conference neither guarantees nor implies that THE RED CHIP REVIEW will initiate coverage. These companies are PlayCore, Inc. (AMEX:PCO) and Hello Direct Inc.(NASDAQ:HELO).
PlayCore manufactures playground systems for schools, park districts and amusement parks, while Hello Direct markets and develops desktop telephony and telecommunications equipment interface solutions to businesses.
Typically, companies followed by THE RED CHIP REVIEW are undervalued and underfollowed, yet they show exciting promise. Because they're smaller, they're usually more nimble companies, often in their early stages of development. They tend to be fast-growing, possess a leading technology, or in some way have a unique story.
