Found this...Just a FYI
PRICE: RNTK closed on 20-Mar-1998 at $2.20 per
share.
VALUE: RNTK has a Value of $0.20 per share.
Value is the foundation of the VectorVest system.It is
a measure of what a stock is currently worth. Value is
based upon earnings, earnings growth rate, dividend
payments, dividend growth rate, and financial
performance. Current interest and inflation rates also
play an important role in the computation of Value.
When interest and/or inflation rates decrease, Value
goes up. When interest rates and inflation increase,
Value goes down. Sooner or later a stock's Price and
Value always converge.
RV (Relative Value): RNTK has an RV of 0.09. On
a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an RV of 0.09 is very poor. RV
reflects the long-term price appreciation potential of
the stock compared to an alternative investment in
AAA Corporate Bonds. Stocks with RV ratings above
1.00 have attractive upside potential. A stock will
have an RV greater than 1.00 when its Value is
greater than Price, and its Relative Safety (see below)
and forecasted earnings growth rate are above
average. In some cases, however, a stock's RV will
be above 1.00 even though its Value is well below
Price. This happens when a stock has an exemplary
record of financial performance and an above
average earnings growth rate. In this case, the stock
is currently selling at a premium, and the investor is
banking on future earnings growth to drive the stock's
price higher. This information is very useful not only in
knowing whether or not a stock has favorable price
appreciation potential, but it also solves the riddle of
whether to buy high growth, high P/E, or low growth,
low P/E stocks.
We believe that RV ratings above 1.00 are required
to consistently achieve above average capital gains
in the stock market.
RS (Relative Safety): RNTK has an RS rating of
0.61. On a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an RS of 0.61 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): RNTK has an RT rating of
1.59. On a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an RT of 1.59 is
excellent. 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): RNTK has a VST-Vector rating
of 1.03. On a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an VST of 1.03 is
fair. VST-Vector solves the dilemma of balancing
Value, Safety and Timing. Stocks with high RV values
often have low RS values, or stocks withlow 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): RNTK has a GRT of -9 % 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): RNTK has a Hold
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: RNTK has a Stop-Price of$ 1.90 per
share. This is $0.30 or13.6% belowits 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): RNTK 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): RNTK has a DY of 0.0
percent. This is below the current market average of
1.2 percent. DY equals 100 x (DIV/PRICE), and is
expressed as a percentage.
EY (Earnings Yield): RNTK has an EY of -2.97%.
This is below the current market average of 4.77%.
EY equals 100 x (EARNINGS PER SHARE/PRICE),
and is expressed as a percentage.
EPS (Earnings Per Share): RNTK has an EPS of
$-0.07 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): RNTK has a P/E
ratio of -33.69. This ratio is computed daily based
upon Price and EPS. P/E = Price/EPS.
GPE (Growth to P/E Ratio): RNTK has a GPE of
0.00. This ratio suggests that This ratio suggests that
RNTK 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 0.09 for RNTK is very
poor.
DS (Dividend Safety): RNTK 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 areabove average in safety.
RISK (Dividend Risk): RNTK 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): RNTK 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):
RNTK 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.

over the long term. |
