I see we have some very distinguished members already on board. It looks like the sharpest group of Republicans I've seen since the National Convention. A couple of tips for you KB. Watch this guy Ed. He's a very ambitious individual. The rumor is he's lobbying to head up a vast right wing militia group. He authored the "trickle down" economic policy put out by one of his fellow Californians. He has my full support though. this guy ed from england, wants us to believe he's a man. his background has given him away. he can't fool me, can you nurse ratchet? (please note the lack of caps. see how perceptive i can be? i'll be watching you closely.) I'm of the opinion that tech is where to invest in the short term. I picked up NT at 20 last week. I'm looking to pick up GX and GLW today, depending on how they open. I won't chase them if they gap up at the open. The Naz futures are up 36.50 the last time I looked, so we'll see what happens. I'm in the process of trying to find some longer term investments to get into in the near future. I've started some research, but I have more to do. I am looking for stocks with PE's under 20. Growth rates above 20%. Earnings per share of at least $1.00. Little or no debt. A price to sales ratio under $2.00. A return on equity above 20%. Profit margins in excess of 20%. And most important, the last seven quarters (minimum) with increasing revenues and increasing earnings over the corresponding quarter. I have come up with 10 stocks so far. I don't own any of them. As I've mentioned, I still have some DD to do on them, but I thought I'd pass them along for anyone who may be interested in checking them out. Comments are welcome, (even from you California guys). The 10 stocks are: MKSI CATS ASFI INIT MBLA TTMI ACLS DRAM KDE TSMA I didn't limit myself to the tech sector. Money earned, is money earned! dabum
