Both TWTC and RSTN announced job cuts last night, RSTN had a nasty revenue warning too. It will be interesting to see which way they go tomorrow.

These are "cigar butt" stocks for me, with 1% of the portfolio in each and no major risks. Their cash and book value limit the downside risk though short-term volatility may be extreme.

If I had a small portfolio with only a few stocks and low risk tolerance, I would not put anything in the cigar butts. MAXF is a much safer bet.

Looking over the financials for TWTC (QR=1.23, ROCE=-0.02) gives me the impression they are stronger than CZN (QR=0.85, ROCE=-0.08) but weaker than ALSK (QR=1.52, ROCE=+0.88). What is your take on this TWTC run - more room to go or give back the gains?
