Anybody besides me like CC for a short term bounce?

Well, it did drop nearly 29% on Friday- at a 4 year low.

Although CC doesn't interest me, I'd say yeah go for it.

During the market pullback I’ve been picking up shares of Smith & Wesson SWHC; yesterday it made a significant move up. For the life of me I don’t know why. Might be a short squeeze, but no news. Has anyone heard anything that could justify such a quick move?

I usually don't mention pink sheet stocks that have little history, but......Interesting individual find:

Check out Symbol "AETE"

Over the counter, on the pink sheets- but has some interesting play going on. Currently at 3.06 a share. Might be an interesting longshot high risk adventure.

Scratch that-

I just found this written about this company:

CAVEAT EMPTOR 29-Jan-08 12:21 pm
These guys owe me and several others unpaid salary from previous ventures they launched and abandoned. AETE is another in a long line of shell companies formed by a guy from Dallas, TX. There is no proprietary technology, no proven commercial capability and no team of professionals leading this company. The CFO listed on the company info section on Pink Sheets say's he didn't even know they had him listed on it. This is a pure fantasy, with no substance or proven science to back up their claims. Before this, he launched Meridian Biorefining Corporation, which was another scheme to dupe people out of time and money. The alternative energy sector is full of pump and dump players like these guys. Gulf Ethanol is another one, Earth Biofuels is yet another. They all share a common theme, "all Hat and no Cattle". Don't risk your hard earned money on wildly speculative, no substance shells. There are plenty of legitimate alternative energy companies that will employ your investment to produce real results.

I guess there is no easy money to be made. The stock plunged to $2 this morning, then headed back to $3.

Just a pump and dump.

Move along, move along.

these are not the droids you have been looking for.

You need to look at average volume also. They don't have that much daily trading volume. If you buy a stock, you need to make sure you can sell it also.

Good luck to you.

Right- Forget AETE- that's way too high risk and probably goign to be a looser.


Here is another one to look at:

CTCT- Constant Contact email program- a marketing company. Nice gains in revenues, and the price is coming down. they are not yet profitable, but expected to be soon.

What are your thoughts on this one?

Interesting individual stock:


Ramco Gershenson, symbol: RPT

Owns commercial real estate in multiple states. I've known a guy who works there from my days in college- he's now a VP over there. I have owned this REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) in the past, but I do not currently own any shares.

But, that said, I can't find any reason why it has tanked as far as it has in the last week.

Can anyone take a look at it, and provide a logical reason why it is trading at $3.72?

This should be a 12-15 dollar share, no brainer. Income is still coming in, it pays a regular payout, and earns around $1.60 a share. So why is it now trading at only 2 times earnings?

RPT- You tell me- why?

Probably exaggerated speculation, but traders think the commercial real estate will come down like a house of card if we have a prolonged recession. Shopping malls will go down as retailer close up shop. Word on the street is that retailers are waiting to see the Christmas numbers and if they are bad cut, cut, cut. Office space is readily available because growth has stopped and venture capital dried up. Just look at all the lay offs in the financial sector that is freeing up office space.

James,

I agree with Show Me. Also my 5 minute check shows that over 30% of the property RPT manages and owns is in Michigan. Who knows what will happen with the Automobile manufacturers but traders sell first and ask questions later... Right now they have a 93% occupancy rate in MI. Supply and demand could hurt their pricing power for years to come.

It does look tempting.

True- 30% of properties are in Michigan- but they are mostly in areas of Michigan where the auto manufacturers are NOT. And 70% of their properties are NOT in Michigan.

I still say it's tempting at this price. They pay a great dividend, and even if they drop from $1.85 a share to $1.00 a share, we're still looking at 4 X payout.

Food for thought, anyway.

Too bad I don't have a barrel of cash, because I am seeing some bargains out there.

James,

I can sure relate to the barrel of cash comment. I can't scrape money together fast enough.

If you need cash send your wife to the bank like I do - it's easy. I bought 12 stocks with money she delivered Friday evening.

I am afraid that if I sent my wife to the bank with instructions to bring me home a barrel of cash, she would later send me a post card from a beach in Suoth America.....

Mine would come home but she had to of stopped at Target and Walmart and the barrel would be half empty.

Birch & anyone else, what do you think of HUN now.

I already own some, but the downside looks to be minimal.

 

[Birchtree]

I also own HUN (Huntsman Corp) and my last previous purchase was at $11.56. I bought more today as a DCAing strategy at $5.88 and I doubled my position.
