Frank: Welcome aboard. I too was initially a bit overwhelmed. After a while it passes. A quick comment about those "low priced stocks." I also was advised, and did stay away from 'em. But the recent three-month bear-market has brought many once high-priced stocks down to low-priced stocks. Many will fail...but many will survive and once again be high(er) priced. Try to remember that there is a difference between the company and the company's stock. The "company" may be doing fine;growing, earning a ton of money. But recently nobody seems to care. It's the stock that we're interested in...and many stocks have fallen mightily...having little to do with the company. (Lee)

Some stocks to take note.

inSilicon (Nasdaq: INSN) +70%
Key news came out today on inSilicon's Java accelerator. This got an endorsement from Sun Microsystems and will be on demo at the Java One conference next week. The importance of this news is that the performance problems that have plagued Java since inception can now be improved significantly. There have been means to speed up Java through JIT (just in time compiler) technology and even Java processors. inSilicon's solution allows for up to a 10 times speedup which is significant and important for embedded system applications (like wireless, internet appliances, etc). Do not ignore the significance of this news.

Branch Banking and Trust (NYSE: BBT) New Year High +7%
BBT is North Carolina's "superbank" with over 300 local banks. Rumours of expansion into other states circulating such as Tennesee. Also, BBT will be added as one of the components to Merrill Lynch's Banking HOLDR. Technically, BBT has broke out and is set to make new highs. Looking for a nice advance here.

Parker Drilling (NYSE: PKD) +36%, Grey Wolf (AMEX: GW) +19%
Continue to make new 52 week highs on oil sector strength. As mentioned several months ago, I felt these stocks were poised to reap the greatest benefits given the low price and stock/volume action. Grey Wolf has been on the AMEX most active list quite a bit lately.

Andrew (NASDAQ: ANDW) +174%
Pick from last year that has been in the portfolio long and strong. Consistently continues to make new highs.

Gen Motors H Class (NYSE: GMH) +24%; Gen Motors (GM) +22%
Surge as of late with divergence among the GM shares.
Short GM, long GMH.

Homestore.com (NASDAQ: HOMS) +45%
Nice pop today. Moving sideways but continue to hold long.

Some stocks not in but watching carefully:

ACL
CYGN
MER
NU
POG
PWJ
