Hi Al, great thread. these are my picks for the New Year, but they are only as good as their technicals, which I think are very nice right now. SDRC(temporarily overbought, but it may be spiking on pending news- hard to say) PAIR SFAM ETEC PRMS KM EOG CTEC and though their technicals are not quite as good, also CHIR and LEVL becuase I think they are at the bottom of their respective cycles. I follow 135 stocks and right now many are giving buy signals.

Al: Ten stock picks for 1998 include four Year-2000 stocks and one short that I think will lose revenue because of the "Millennium Bug": Alydaar Software (ALYD), 15 3/4 (Y2K remediation software); Ampex Corp (AXC), 2 3/8 (oversold; large-scale data compression/ storage); Biotechnology General (BTGC), 10 3/4 (biotechnology company with excellent products and a very promising pipeline); CACI (CACI), 19 13/16 (information technology outsourcing and Y2K remediation; very attractive P/E); Cyberguard Corp (CYBG), 5 5/8 (computer information encryptation; savaged by year-end tax-loss selling); General Magic Corp (GMGC), 1 3/8 (manufactures "Serengeti", a communications and information service that allows cellular contact with voice and data terminals); Heartsoft Corp (HTSF), 3/8 (educational software directly marketed to schools); Sapiens International (SPNSF), 7 13/16 (data migration and Y2K services); and Topro Corp (TPRO dba TAVA Technologies), 6 1/2 (integration of factory-floor systems and Y2k services). The short is Cisco Systems, but not at current prices. I think CSCO will run up in the early part of 1998, perhaps to $70.00 to $75.00, then decline sharply toward the end of the year. Presently I'm long CSCO and plan to short at 70. I look forward to reading other picks and the rationale behind them. Always interested in other people's opinions.
