RtS, right now I wouldn't go long any of them. Even if I did, it would be for a st trade only. I just escaped my recent NVLS naked put sale with my skin intact and am a bit risk averse now. I would consider RMBS and SONS, primarily because they're being talked about on some boards I visit.

I'm off for some errants.

You might be interested in one I like.

I've been trading it from the long side as it consolidates.

I just bought back yesterday 250 at $12.30 making my exposure $6190/4100 or $1.51 a share to break-even!

Fundies are great
~100% projected revenue growth for 2004
'04 EPS of $0.28
'04 EPS of $0.50

Much room for upgrades once the 6M share offering at $12.25 is complete and the institutions have their fill then they can upgrade.

The lead underwriter, CSFB, actually gave a target of $12 for it when it was trading at $14

cbs.marketwatch.com

CSFB gave it a HOLD in 2001 when it was in the $40's and then let their coverage vanish when the stock was under 50 cents!

My guess is once they complete the offering, then they will issue upgrades.

50 cents in earings for a $12 stock with 100% revenue growth.... do da math...

It peaked out at $18 so this is a nice FIB retrace....

Of course, the bears think it is going back down.....
