Okay, I'll post my picks. I'm a member of an NAIC-based stock club and will mostly recommend stocks that have been purchsed by the club. EXAC - Exactech. A small, Gainesville, Florida manufacturer of replacement knees and hips. A microcap that was beaten down to 4.75 at end of year. Revenues are growing by 25 percent per year but EPS was flat due to funky accounting practices and the write-off of an Italian subsidiary. PTII - Protective Technologies, Inc. (hell, I'm not sure I have the name right, but the symbol is correct). A manufacturer of children's bicycle helmets. The company has experienced strong growth in revenues. WSRN.COM reports that the company is losing money. However, this is more of a paper loss than a real loss. They converted a large amount of preferred stock to common stock as a result of meeting certain management performance goals. Another micro-cap. BIOI - Biosource International. The best way I can describe this company is that it is a materials supplier to the Biotechnology industry. The stock was trading at 5 something at the end of th year. Management announced that it will buy back 10% of the outstanding shares.
