Cary, thanks for doing the Amigofolio wrap thing. I listed TALX, MLT, PWAV, AOI, MLRC and DCYS as the stocks that I was looking at this weekend. Eliminate TALX, AOI and MLRC. MLRC only because it is an oil stock, it is otherwise very compelling. AOI is great, they don't do anything and get paid, but....TALX is in the right sector but I saw some negatives. I haven't looked at MLT yet and barely looked at DSYS. DSYS looks to be oversold due to a shareholders lawsuit and I am going to look seriosly at it tomorrow. I am very interested in PWAV. Earnings due next week. This stock is down from the 40s to the teens due to Asian flu. Options are available by the way. Here's some info on some of the stocks discussed.
