Professor: I have decided to do an experiment seeing how that I am off from work for the next few days. I took a company at random. Honestly I took a company that had lost he most money % wise on Thursday. I did not know anything about this company at all. I had not even read any of the message boards on this company. I simply want to use the 11 steps for looking at a stock that Tim suggested and see where I need to improve on doing research. I must confess I love doing research. The wife gets mad at me because I stay on the PC. for hours at a time doing research and trying to find out something that few others know. Well here goes. The company "ZITEL" ticker "ZITL" *Step 1* 5 YEAR CHART bigcharts.com *Step 2* 52 WK. Low and 52 WK high High $17.13 Low$2.13 *Step 3* short interest. viwes.com This web-site says that the short interest is at an all time low. To be honest I don't know if that is good or bad. But I will learn I have plenty of time to learn the stock market is not going anywhere. But I post it for your information. *Step 4* Insider trades This information is retrieved form "insider trader.com". as of 12/18/98 form 144's and sells all included together Since 09/20/96 a total of 356,891shares were sold. Amount of buys I see none *Step 5* P/E P/E (Price to Earnings Ratio): ZITL has a P/E ratio of -14.8. I must confess again that I do not know if this is good or bad. *Step 6* Market Cap 87.7 million *Sep 7* Outstanding Shares 17.8 million *Step 8* Float Could not find that information *Step 9* New and old press releases biz.yahoo.com *Step 10* Upgrades and Downgrades I did not know where to find this information *Gut felling* With a five year high of $72.88 and a low of .94 it seems to me that the downside risk is low but I would do much more research before I bought into it.
