To be fair, here is the second half of the VectorVest TA report:
Happy New Year
RS (Relative Safety): SYQT has an RS rating of 0.60. On a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an RS of 0.60 is poor. VectorVest looks at
safety from the viewpoint of an equity investor (one who is buying stock of a company) rather than that of a purchaser of debt (one
who is lending money to the company). From this perspective, consistency of financial and operating performance, stock price
appreciation history, and price volatility are the key factors used in the evaluation of Relative Safety (RS). Debt to equity ratio,
capitalization, sales volume, business longevity and other factors are also considered, but to a lesser degree.
VectorVest favors steady, predictable performers. All stocks are rated on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. A stock with an RS greater than
1.00 is safer and more predictable than the average of all stocks. A stock with an RS less than 1.00 is less predictable and riskier
than the average stock.
RT (Relative Timing): SYQT has an RT rating of 0.43. On a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an RT of 0.43 is very poor. RT is a fast,
responsive, short-term price trend indicator. It analyzes the direction, magnitude, and dynamics of a stock's price behavior over the
last 13 weeks; then reflects and projects the short-term price performance of the stock. Once a stock's Price has established a strong
trend, it is expected to continue that trend for the short-term. If the trend dissipates, RT will gravitate towards 1.00. Should the price
change dramatically, RT will notice the crucial turning point. When warranted, it will explode from a Price low and dive from a Price
high.
All stocks are rated on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. If RT is above 1.00, the stock's Price is in an uptrend. Below 1.00, the stock's Price
is in a downtrend.
VST-Vector (VST): SYQT has a VST-Vector rating of 0.80. On a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an VST of 0.80 is poor. VST-Vector
solves the dilemma of balancing Value, Safety and Timing. Stocks with high RV values often have low RS values, or stocks with low
RV and RS values have high RT's. How can we find the stocks with the best combinations of Value, Safety, and Timing?
The classic vector formula (square root of the sum of the squares) handles this problem. It combines a set of forces into a single
indicator for ranking every stock in the VectorVest database. Stocks with the highest VST-Vector have the best combinations of
Value, Safety and Timing. These are the ones to own for above average capital application.
GRT (Growth Rate): SYQT has a GRT of 2 % per year. This is very poor. GRT stands for forecasted Earnings Growth Rate in
percent per year. GRT is updated each week for every stock. Watch GRT trends very carefully. If the GRT trend is up, the stock's
Price will likely rise. If the GRT trend is down, the stock's Price will increase more slowly, cease to increase, or subsequently fall.
Recommendation (REC): SYQT has a Sell recommendation. REC reflects the cumulative effect of all the VectorVest
parameters working together. These parameters are designed to help investors buy safe, undervalued stocks which are rising in price,
and to avoid or sell risky, overvalued stocks which are falling in price.
VectorVest is tuned to give an "H" or "B" signal when a stock's price is approximately 10% above a recent low, and an "S" signal
when the stock's price is approximately 10% below a recent high. High RV, RS stocks are favored toward receiving "B" REC's, and
sheltered from receiving "S" RECs.
STOP-PRICE: SYQT has a Stop-Price of $3.50 per share. This is $0.30 or 9.4% above its current closing Price. VectorVest
analyzes over 6,000 stocks each day for Value, Safety and Timing, and calculates a Stop-Price for each stock. These Stop-Prices
are based upon 13 week moving averages of closing prices, and are fine-tuned according to each stock's fundamentals.
In the VectorVest system, a stock gets a "B" or an "H" recommendation if its price is above its Stop-Price, and an "S"
recommendation if its price is below its Stop-Price.
DIV (Dividend): SYQT does not pay a dividend. VectorVest focuses on annual,regular, cash dividends indicated by the most
recent disbursement. Special distributions, one-time payments, stock dividends, etc., generally are not included in Dividend (DIV).
DY (Dividend Yield): SYQT has a DY of 0.0 percent. This is below the current market average of 1.3 percent. DY equals 100 x
(DIV/PRICE), and is expressed as a percentage.
EY (Earnings Yield): SYQT has an EY of 40.23%. This is above the current market average of 5.04%. EY equals 100 x
(EARNINGS PER SHARE/PRICE), and is expressed as a percentage.
EPS (Earnings Per Share): SYQT has an EPS of $1.29 per share. EPS stands for leading 12 months Earnings Per Share.
VectorVest determines this forecast from a combination of recent earnings performance and traditional fiscal and/or calendar year
earnings forecasts.
P/E (Price to Earnings Ratio): SYQT has a P/E ratio of 2.49. This ratio is computed daily based upon Price and EPS. P/E =
Price/EPS.
GPE (Growth to P/E Ratio): SYQT has a GPE of 0.80. This ratio suggests that This ratio suggests that SYQT is overvalued.
Growth to P/E ratio is a popular measure of stock valuation which compares Earnings Growth Rate (GRT) to Price Earnings ratio
(P/E). A stock is considered to be undervalued when GPE is greater than 1.00, and vice-versa. VectorVest believes that RV is a
much better indicator of long-term value. The RV of 1.24 for SYQT is very good.
DS (Dividend Safety): SYQT has a DS of 0. On a scale of 0 to 99, a DS of 0 is poor. DS is defined as the assurance that regular
cash dividends will be declared and paid at current or at higher rates for the foreseeable future. Stocks with DS values above 50 on a
scale of 0 to 99 are above average in safety.
RISK (Dividend Risk): SYQT does not pay a dividend. All stocks in the VectorVest system that pay dividends are classified as
having Low, Medium or High Dividend Risk (RISK). Stocks with DS values above 50 are above average in safety. These stocks are
classified as having LOW or MEDIUM RISK. Stocks with DS values below 50 are below average in safety and are classified as
having HIGH Risk.
DG (Dividend Growth): SYQT has a DG of 0 percent per year. Dividend Growth is a subtle yet important indicator of a
company's historical financial performance and the board's current outlook on the future use of funds.
YSG-VECTOR (Yield-Safety-Growth Vector): SYQT has a YSG-Vector of 0.00. On a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an
YSG-Vector rating of 0.00 is very poor. VectorVest combines Dividend YIELD, SAFETY and GROWTH into a single parameter.
YSG-Vector allows direct comparison of all dividend paying stocks. Stocks with the highest YSG-Vector values have the best
combinations of Dividend Yield, Safety and Growth. These are the stocks to buy for above average current income and long-term
growth.
VOL(100)s: SYQT traded 2496400 shares on 30-Dec-1997.
AVG VOL(100)s: SYQT has an Average Volume of 2053480. Average Volume is 50 day moving average of daily volume as
computed by VectorVest.

INDUSTRY: SYQT has been assigned to the Computer (Memory Devices) Group. VectorVest classifies stocks into over 190
Industry Groups and 50 Business Sectors.
SYQT has well below average safety with well above average upside potential. It reflects a stock which is likely to give well above
average, inconsistent returns over the long term. |
