Thanx for your reply Paul. I occasionally flick through "50% Gains .." monthly portfolio results to see what others regard as Value stocks. I don't recall seeing AOB or AOBO recently. I certainly didn't go back to late 2004 as I don't have that facility to zero in on a date or post number. Personally I would have thought that a stock that was selling for about $1.20c six months ago, with good, improving fundamentals, would still have been part of someone's Value Portfolio, considering that it's now at well over $7.00c. Pity you jettisoned some at $4.14c and $5.65c. That could have been an extra 77% and 30% gain ! Such are the vagaries of the stock market ! Yes, there could very well be "safer and better places" to put one's money, but as I said in my original message, these are small cap stocks whose current fundamentals indicate to me, anyway, that they could be moving ahead. Needless to say, the risk here could be higher than with well established, larger cap stocks. IMO the potential for price increase with the likes of AOB should certainly be greater than with, say, XOM. I can’t imagine one would have seen XOM go up 77% since August this year ! As long as AOB’s fundamentals remain sound, and other critical fundamental criteria remain in place, I see no reason why we shouldn’t see an ongoing improvement in its stock price. With regard to MPAD, the one aspect about the stock that I didn’t originally take into account, was it’s generally low traded volume. I’m not usually keen on stocks that are either tightly held or lightly traded. However, one cannot deny its price increase of 135% over the last 12 months. Personally, I try not to put too much store about what’s put out in "headlines" etcc.., unless those comments are supported, at the very least, by an in-depth, fundamental analysis of a company’s Financial Statements. The short term price movements of stocks can quite often be traced to investors basing their buying or selling decisions on what Market commentators and "Analysts" expound. I prefer to draw my own conclusions. Best wishes with your investments.
