Joe: Looking at the average weekly volume on msti for the past year,which is less than TODAY's volume I would say that it should rise nicely just on the stanpede effect. Looks like a mover. Hope those playing it in the morning use limit orders.

<ITEC>; earnings in AM, conf. call 1pm PST; NASDAQ near 52 week low....just a reminder....limited downside risk; profitable company; possible 1-2 points up this week if earnings and cc good tomorrow. No predictions, just something to eyeball ....see the thread if interested; for good or bad TMEX in it...you decide LOL!

MSTI - have been doing a little digging tonight to see what this is all about...still looking for negatives but have not come across any yet...anyways here's a posting found on another board. <<MSTI made $0.09 diluted earnings in 1997 (0.16 undiluted), 0.03 of which came in the 4th Quarter alone. Revs growing at 16%, profitable for three quarters in a row, and I think will make $0.13 to $0.15 in 1998. At a conservative valuation, the shares according to Peter Lynch would be $2.24. You can have all you want at 1/2 the price. The company sells for less than 1x sales fully diluted (and much less depending on the number of shares you use). Going forward, $7.2mm of revs are locked up over the next several years. See westergaard.com:8080/Med/Profiles/index.htm for more information and background on this woefully undervalued situation. >> a BB stock earning money with growing revenue and earnings... <<For the fiscal year ended 12/31/97, revenues rose 16% to $10 million. Net income applicable to Common totalled $504 thousand vs. a loss of $1.1 million. Revenues reflect higher sterilization services to healthcare providers revenues.>> Earnings were .12 last year with revenue growth of 16%. Thus, a proper valuation of this company would mean that the stock should normally trade at least 16 x EPS = $1.92 (last year's earnings). However, earnings are expected to be even greater this year based on some new contracts and business which would value this stock well over $2. Hmmm, should be interesting tomorrow after we got a chance to DD this one. Should move very well too since float is barely over 1 million. Boob

MSTI- Stock went up today from 1.03 1.31 on more vol than its seen in awhile.(See Historical prices below). I also looked at the MM's screen and looks like it will open higher in the morning.Showing 1.37 on the ask. Of Course that could change by morning. Last news on it was in March and report earning up 14%. Moves nicely on little vol. Even though the stock was up today there was not any big buys a few 4000 but that was about the highest. Is there news or something coming out on the stock? Looks like it will be a good one for all.IMHO. Do I get a grade too??Remember I did a copy &paste here.Thats like drawing a picture and I should get extra credits for that.
