Not much action lately, but I have been doing some research and found some very affordable lesser known companies who consistantly meet their numbers and should yeild some nice returns over the next 12-18 months. Here are some securities for you all check up on...
FBC
ROIL
BUCA
CHK
LTBG
Z

I'm mainly looking for stocks in the $10-20 range now, so if anyone has any symbols that look like they could be winners, I'm all ears...

No, they're from all different sectors, energy, banking, and food retialing. They aren't really speculatory stocks at all, they all have relatively betas. Tech and Biotech would be very specualtory right now, but in maybe 6 months, that sector will rise, but none of the analysts really seem to know. My whole portfolio is bluechips right now, I baiscally invested in some tech comapnies a few years ago, then sold them while they were relatively high, took my gains and invested in blue chips. Now I'm going to try and get some lower priced stocks with low risks and hope that some of them will steadily rise over the next couple of years.

Check out PXD. Will outperform the market with significantly low risk.

Burlington Industries.....

Nano-tex, a co. in which BI holds 51%, it's private right now. They're developing nano-tech for clothing. The possiblities are endless.

I was quite happy with ExxonMobil's recent split. PXD looked to have some potential, it had a n PE and the earnings seemed to be growing rapidly in the past year, however they didn't quite make their last earnings suprise forecast. Another positive is it looked to be at the bottom of lull in it's curve, so it appears it should go up in the near future.

Damn, Wodin, that's a hard core speculation stock. They met their earnings last quarter, so who knows. At a buck and a half a share, I guess it's really not that much of a risk.

Have you read Neal Stephenson's "Diamond Age" or "Snow Crash"??


as for stocks - ASTM is interesting right now - what they do is related to the stem cell field and they are fluctuating a lot right now. I got them relaly low (I think under $.80) - this is generally considered a penny stock and thereby comes with the associated risk (but it IS on NASDAQ and not on OTC - on which most of the sketchiness in penny stocks occurs).

also I personally recommend any paper or pen company, as well as any of the chipmakers in the bluetooth consortium - read about Anoto.

True dat on the PDX. I think it's a good investment.

Only a Buck 40.... LOL!!! yep, buy a couple hundred wtf.

ASTM seems to be on the rise, I could'nt find a whole of analyst info on it, but it seems a lot more stable than most of the biotech stocks I've seen. I've actually been making about $75-$100 a week day trading with a few volatile biotech stocks that I have agood feel for their range now. They each fall rise and fall in that $.75 range each week and I figured out whne to buy and sell them. After Ameritrade commisions and Capital gains tax, the returns haven't been much to brag about, but hey, it's $3-400 each month that I didn't have before hand if they drop down and never go back up, they are so cheap, I'm not taking much of a loss at all. I've already made alot more money from them than any loss that could possibly occur if I get stuck with them and they go down to noithing.

as part of my +$20-30K in the stock market back in the day - ASTM was a major part of it (probably 20 diff stocks I have), but then everything tanked and well... no longer that much money. sad - closer to $3-5K now.


I agree with Wodin that nano-tech is going to be a big deal, although it is hard to find companies that are straight up doing it that are publlic, you are more likely to find - as he said, other companies that own or partly own other companies that do it.

Motorola is doing some cool stuff chipwise - not just phone and computer processor - but some... well, basically stealing patents or ideas prior to patent (they go on site, claim to be interested in investing in it, learn about it, then go back and recreate it as fast as possible and don't invest - I know of at least two major cases from two people I know involved on the negative side of it) - it is actually rather rude, but if it drives their stock prices up, fine by me.

And I still maintain that Anoto is doing the coolest stuff in technology right now (http://www.anoto.com) - they aren't on the US exachange though.
