STNRF... was up 3 1/2+ after their earnings report in October 1997. It has slim volume but it's volume ratio is in the 75th percentile which is improving. This stock is in a 'squat' postion as well with increasing volume and lagging price increase.. Should be a very good earnings play. Note: There are some insiders selling STNRF so I wouldn't consider it a long time play until it pulls back. I'm just considering it a 1-3 day hold for earnings. DATE OPEN HIGH LOW CLOSE VOLUME --------------------------------------------------------------- 10/30/97 25.125 25.875 25.000 25.875 22,500 10/31/97 26.625 27.000 25.625 27.000 42,500 11/03/97 27.500 28.875 27.500 28.875 9,000 and in the last few days. 02/17/98 34.625 35.750 34.625 35.750 123,400 02/18/98 35.750 36.125 35.375 36.125 10,700 02/19/98 35.750 36.500 35.500 36.500 31,700 02/20/98 36.500 36.750 35.875 36.562 52,900 This is a very good company in top fundamental/technical form. I'ts ROA,ROE,Price/Book, Price/Cash FLow are in the top 2% of companies. It's pulled back a bit which could make it ripe for earnings play next week. It's important in these volatile times not to discount companies because they are not top tier technology companies. STNRF provides spa services, & skin & hair care pro- ducts on board cruise ships worldwide. STNRF develops & market premium priced & high quality personal care products. For the 9 mos. ended 9/97, revenues rose 20% to $61.9M. Net income rose 99% to $8.4M. Results reflect an rise of 6 in the average number of ships in service which generated more revenue than the 7 non-spa ships which the Co. ceased to serve. ****************************** LBOR - LABOR READY INC COM .SER I've spoken about LBOR quite a bit and I still like this company. Is is going to report on March 2 and again I'm expected a nice report. Some important aspects of this company: %cELt= 133.3 ( 93) %cECu= 900.0 ( 99) VL/30= 56.8 ( 67) ROA = 6.8 ( 86) ROS = 1.6 ( 67) $/Bkv= 8.2 ( 92) $/Cfl= 50.5 ( 95) GrRat= 1.0 ( 50) RV1Qt= 131.0 ( 87) Number in Parentheses is the percentile rank for the indicator %cELT= % growth last quarter %cECu= % growth current quarter VL/30 is the 1/30 day volume ratio $/Cfl= is the cash flow GrRat= Growth Rate $/BkV =is Book Value Ratio RV1QT = is revenue increase last quarter. When a company is projected to have a much high PROJECTED % EPS this quarter than last quarter it is very important. You want to catch these growth companies on their way up and not at its peak.
