Some GTPs... Check out LL..hit hard
ARIA Update - hit a new low after a bounce - Discontinued trial on its main drug...stock is dead money now...
ARIA - Should fall into this category after the company readjusts the dosage and re-evaluates the efficacy and safety of their primary drug...
I have a really good one ANTS software. IBM, SAP is trying to work with ANTS again. Check our board and you will see why we think this will be the GTP.
XCO - this one is a very good potential GTP....NatGas rules the future...
GTPs - EEB, GNI, MSB, ABB and I believe F will be another...Some folks like DELL, YHOO and MSFT to gain ground in the recovery...
This is the time for GTPs...We aint out of the wood yet bt there has got to be some great bottom plays to be had...
So far I have ABB, RIMM and for the Bailout I have F, GM and AIG...
Thanks T I will take a look when I have a second.
BOL
Lots of good leads on the Options wonderland board...Even if you don't play options the underlying securities mentioned there are generally pretty good...PAL is a hot one right now. Believe it or not TASR probably will creep back towards $9 or $10...etc, etc...
T yes I have gone to Freto's board a few times, yours seemed more targeted to a few issues, and that was appealing to me. Just wondered. Thanks much
I just have not pushed it...Took a dumb detour into the penny plays....But Freto's Board is a good one for turn-around possibilities...Every so often when I get a notion I'd post one here...haven't in a while

Nebula what happened to this board? It sure seems like it should have taken off very well. Too bad I saw it and immediately thought it was a great idea.
The GTP for the Month of the next 3 months is AMD...

ENCY is now on its way to being a GTP
ENCY - GTP...way oversold on this week's news...
ABB - May be one of the best GTPs of CY06
test.

Looking at ABB and GM as two potential GTPs
ABB Ltd. (ABB) - $8.78
ABB, Inc. is a large Swiss electrical engineering firm that
manufactures electric motors, robots and other types of automation.
In June its American Depository Receipts
(ADRs) were priced around 7.
The stock "appears" to be breaking out of a two-year trading range.
There's still a lot of risk surrounding a company that suffered for
years with slipshod management, but the good may outweigh the bad
and it "could" reward those willing to invest a few "speculative"
dollars.
With a new management team in place, in the third quarter ABB
returned to profitability after four years of losses. Orders
increased 15% and revenues jumped 13%. Margins improved although
they remain below the level of competitors.
This year's boom in oil prices was a boon for ABB since the oil and
gas industry accounts for a significant part of its business via
electrical motors, robots and transformers used in refineries and
pipelines. Highly profitable energy companies ramped up investments
to increase capacity, employing the services of firms like ABB.
Its products allow utilities to efficiently run their power plants.
With crude oil in the $60-per-barrel range, efficiency is critical.
ABB's robotics and other forms of automation help run plants and
keep shutdowns to a minimum.
The explosive growth of the Asian economies is increasing demand for
power and ABB products. Booming China and India are becoming
important customers as ABB has interests in 100 countries. At one
time, ABB considered itself the European version of General Electric
(GE).
There are other positive signs for investors. This month there was
news that the company's debt status may be returned to "investment
grade" by Standard and Poor's and Moody's after many years in
the "junk" category. The ADRs have benefitted from recent upgrades.
What can hold back ABB? Well, asbestos lawsuits could be a major
drawback. In litigation that has dragged on for years, ABB faces
more than 100,000 US lawsuits from workers who have come into close
contact with asbestos-insulated boilers produced by the company's
U.S. unit Combustion Engineering.
According to recent reports, ABB has proposed a $1.43 billion
settlement which has only to be OK'd by two U.S. courts. That $1.43
billion is real money but not nearly as much as years of litigation–
and possible huge judgments–would cost the company.
ABB officials express hope that the asbestos issue will be resolved
by early 2006, giving Wall Street a reason to take a fresh look at
the company. The market hates the uncertainty of impending
litigation.
Also of concern is an enormous debt load, the result of a spending
spree in the 1990s by the old management regime. The huge load had
the company teetering close to collapse in 2002. The response was a
series of cutbacks as ABB shed non-core businesses and thousands of
jobs. That helped a lot although a hefty debt load of almost $6
billion remained at the end of 2004. With cash reserves of $3.6
billion and growing revenues, however, the threat to the company's
finances is minimized.
The other hangup is the immense ADR float, at one time more than 2
billion shares. It will take major attention from the institutions
before ABB's share price can appreciate.
That appears to be occurring, as volume has become much stronger in
recent weeks. That helped push ABB to a series of 52-week highs in
recent sessions.
The key is the solution to the asbestos-settlement issue. If that is
resolved, money "could" flow into ABB from institutions banking on
increased revenues from a power-starved world.
I have had some good picks here as my GTP...Now I have to add KKD to that list...
Check out FMLY just got the rights to Rin Tin Tin and is planning to produce the movie.
Add MVL to the turnaround list...This company is pure cash..
Now I am looking at NFLX as a good turnaround play. It got its ass kicked during the market downturn...
Now that Martha's faith is know does MSO get a GTP nod?
PHSL may turn the corner today...
http://www.nypost.com/business/25118.htm
Spotlight is on two stocks this week...
PHSL - should file 10K ot get off picks...this coming week or next...
GCHC - PR on status and path forward...If it is just about their website that would be disappointing but better than the dead silence...
TFN
I may have to add ADZR to my list...Book is still out
Hopefully by the end of the Qtr I will be placing PHSL on the board info page as a GTP...
FN Thanks for the info on I-Bill. Check out the chart on Spectrum Sciences OTCBB: SPSC. Over 7.3 million shares traded on Tuesday. Rumors of more good news in the coming days. Got in on this one at $2.65.

Picked up 8,500 shares of Penthouse with a partial fill two weeks ago at 16.5. Thought the price might drop down again after the e was added, but that never happened. Still have an order good till cancelled for an additional 1,500 shares at 16.5 Any idea how much revenue I-bill generates per year?
Bob
I do have some crap I need to sell and consolidate....I have been accumulating DCTH and PHSL....I will look into this one. Thanx...I also hope E*trade upgrades my trading status for options. I never thought about it but I think I understand the basics of it now...I will experiment with ELN calls...
TFN
Their leadership is restructured. Great sector. Now ranks 23rd on IBD's 197 industries. . .up 10 points in the past week. Check out the PRs.
This is the point of blossom for CNU. Perfect placement in their industry. Florida. Strong industry. Stock is trading right on the 50 day MA line. Good time to research over the weekend.
It's gonna be HOT here where I'm at. Have a cool one for me.
LOL ~~
On the watch list...This one is a keeper...If their mamagement has it together it is in the perfect sector...aging baby boomers are going to overwhem America's health care system in the coming years...+ it is wholesome///not like my Porno play...LOL!. Even though I have a feeling the new Pnethouse Intl is expanding pass that as its main source of income...
This is the "turnaround" quarter for CNU. Watch that one closely.

I am all set up for my next buys on PHSL...If there is a gap fill between 15 and 17 cents...I have orders in @ 16.5 and 17 cents...Rock and roll...If they keep the company and the creditors seem on board. $1 buck is not the yardstock 3 to 5 bucks is...JMHO

This thread is here primarily for the free and open discussion of Great Turnaround Plays past, present and most important the future. Posters don't necessarily have to spend all their time with every little detail of why the stock is fundamentally sound. Just point folks in the right direction and let them do their own DD. But I do encourage a good explanation as to why you feel a stock is going to be a turn around opportunity.
This board is for Big Board stocks primarily NYSE and Nasdaq companies that have been beaten down for discernable reasons.
Recent as of July 2006 GTPs to take advantage of.
BP - Biggest Oil Disaster in history....Stock looks like it may recover if Cap holds...

Here are a few Past GTPs that I have personal experience with. A couple have much more growth to go:
Healthsouth - (HLSH)

Marvel Enterprises - (MVL)

http://www.marthastewart.com/
Krispy Kreme Doughnut - (KKD) - Need to wait this one out for a while. It can go either way...
http://www.krispykreme.com/
This by no means is an exhaustive list. Hopefully it is just a beginning to what could be a very profitable thread.
