I doubt if they will be bought out by qntm. As for mxtr, its a volatile stock. I bought at 6.25 today and hopefully it will rise. Just about a month ago the stock was at 5 bucks, due to someone dumping an excessive amount of shares. The company is not bad to invest in, they had a good quarter and seem to execute well. If the Nas rebounds, it goes to 7-8 bucks a share, a decline in the NAS to 2300 points will send it south to around 5 bucks. THE p/e ratio for mxtr is low, a good sign. Also notice that the avg volume is 3 million shares yet on a bad day it only traded 1.4 million shares, another good sign. So why is this stock mishandled when its competitors are doing well you ask? Well MXTR carries a bad weight with them for dec 97 and earlier reporting quarter after quarter loss. I think this is a critical year for them, they must meet expectations each quarter to survive. If they fail to meet expectations at any point WATCH OUT, you may be looking at a real low value, my guess is 3 bucks (if they fail). Current expectations for this quarter are 3 cents, which I think they can achieve. Just my opion, take it for what its worth and HAPPY INVESTING! |
