(Edited)Be glad to share some DD on some later on,,,just giving my two cents on other stocks you may want to consider.
When I buy into a stock or add to a position,,,or have a little extra time to post, that's when I take the most time to post my current DD.
Any questions on posted stocks I'll address as a priority,,,,meanwhile this is what I've done recently on AKLM:
I recently traded in and out twice on AKLM,,,,very small profit first time (in 11 3/4, out @ 12 1/8), second time I bought in @ 8 29/32, and traded out few days later at 9 29/32. Looking for third entry now in the $7 range,,,,going to run it into earnings.
Huge short position,,,It seems reasonable to me this $7 range would be a decent range for some shorts to start covering,,,unless they're waiting for the summer slow months (gaming company)
This quarter should have reasonable good results,,,even though T2 didn't blow away everything on the shelves as originally anticipated,,,"south Park" revenues should do nicely.
The company has big debt, but several good quarters heading into possibly their best yet, should give the stock price a good run starting as early as this/next Monday. Looking for a solid gain over it's current $7+ price range.
My SOTM pick for February/March is AKLM,,,posted on the "Shark Attack" on AOL
Here was my first posting on it (before it's selloff recently,,,oh, well):
------------------------------------------------------
"I regret that I have but one AKLM to give for my portfolio" :-))
AKLM is my Shark attack SOTM pick: I'm expecting $14-$17+ by end of March
The selloff just after earnings, was, imo, mostly due to investors thinking that AKLM's blockbuster releases of SOUTH PARK and T2, were to be included in Q1's earnings,,,,,they WEREN'T!! So, although, the company had a great Q1, the hype leading up to earnings were "a let-down" due to the
south park & T2 #'s not being included.
Q2 WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!!!
---AND!!!---
With great investor interest leading into Q2's HUGE earnings,,,
Definite "P-O-T-E-N-T-I-A-L" for the highly regarded squeeze,,,,,but like I said, on earnings ALONE, the end of Feb going into March investor interest should be HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!!!!!!
The company has really been a great turnaround story this year, and management is
doing great things to produce consistently decent revenues in the
months/years ahead through developing a top notch gaming staff, and vastly impoved and managed releases of new, exciting games on increasingly well regulated intervals.
This is a huge feat, considering the gaming industry historically has
tended to be a bit soft in the summer months. They may still slow down a bit, but they are on track to be light years ahead of where they were last year.

Second posting on AOL was:
Acclaim Entertainment, Inc. is a worldwide developer, publisher and mass
marketer of interactive entertainment software for use with dedicated
interactive entertainment hardware platforms and multimedia personal computer
systems. We own and operate four software development studios located in the
U.S. and the U.K., and publish and distribute our software directly in North
America, the U.K., Germany, France and Australia.
Acclaim also engages, to a lesser extent, in the distribution of
software developed by third-party software publishers and the development and
publication of comic book magazines and strategy guides relating to its
software.
The software industry is driven by the size of the installed base of
Platforms (such as those manufactured by Nintendo Co., Ltd. (Japan) (Nintendo
Co., Ltd. and its subsidiary, Nintendo of America, Inc., are collectively
referred to as "Nintendo"), Sony Corporation (Sony Corporation and its
affiliate, Sony Computer Entertainment America, are collectively referred to
as "Sony") and Sega Enterprises Ltd. ("Sega")), and PCs dedicated for home
use. The industry is characterized by rapid technological change, as evidenced
by the successive introductions of hardware systems from Nintendo, Sega and
Sony (e.g., the 8-bit cartridge system from Nintendo in 1985; 16-bit cartridge
systems from Sega in 1990 and Nintendo in 1991; 32-bit CD systems from Sega
and Sony in 1995; the 64-bit cartridge system from Nintendo in 1996; and the
introduction by Sega in November 1998 of Dreamcast, a new 64-bit CD system, in
Japan). These successive introductions have resulted in Platform and related
software product cycles. To date, no single Platform or system has achieved
long-term dominance in the interactive entertainment market. Accordingly,
Acclaim must continually anticipate and adapt its software to emerging
Platforms.
(Latest hot titles include Turok2 and South Park,,,,many other titles on shelves, as well as in development)
--------------------------------------------
I did many other posts there as well on the regular trading board FYI,,,,however, at this time I would think the stock will trade somewhere in the $9-$12 range between March/mid April.
Regards all,
