wadegarret: market conditions
But AAPL is up today. When things really stink, APPL is down.
IMO, it serves as a good thermometer.
This market is sick !
Up 2.5% to down .5% in one hour !
Almost posted about PATK. Now it's actually red. Glad it wasn't me who jinxed it! :)
Just went from up 2.5% to up 0
in like a half hour. Sheesh !
Hweb - PATK ($12.73 + .72), nice move up from the upper 10s. This is one volatile stock.
KTCC could be a buying opportunity at $9 .... that was the case in early April when it hit the mid $8's and then rallied to $13+ in just 4 weeks ! Of course there's the risk that this time the stock is heading for $7 or lower due to leaks about declining backlog. Who knows ???
Sold TMO and HPT at profits today, as I continue to raise cash. All is just my opinion, and I could always be wrong though.
SSkillz1, TA..With TA's history of volatility, thats probably going to be a great sale for a lower rebuy in the near future. Its moved up 25% off its low of just a couple of days ago.
The news they put out today was excellent as well.
They've entered into a memorandum of understanding with Shell Oil that "contemplates that Shell will construct and TA will operate at least 200 natural gas fueling lanes on at least 100 TA locations".
I think a lot of investors were concerned about Natural Gas' impact on TA's Diesel Truck Stops...at least as a future event, and how would TA be able to add natural gas for trucks without raising tons of cash.
This seems like the perfect solution for TA. TA has to train staff, but for the most part, looks like the costs are being carried by Shell, with TA supplying the venues that they already have.
On the face...looks like a no brainer for TA, and a great partnership.
Sold AAPL today @ 575
Too many lawsuits with Samsung which threaten both the Iphone, and other of AAPL products ie Tablets. The fact that the Judge won't put an injunction on Samsung selling any of the products in question during this legal battle is telling.
R59- KTCC
Re, something is likely going on with this one, don't you think ? I don't see one other OEM acting this bad.
CSCO and TA
Sold CSCO and TA today, as I wanted to raise a little cash. TA has had a nice run the last couple of days still cheap, but I think I will be able to buyback cheaper. CSCO has also had a nice run from my upper 15's. Will look too buyback cheaper. All is just my opinion, and I could always be wrong though.
AAPL- will Samsung take them down ?

FES ceo picked up another 10,000 shares this week:
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1434842/000118143112035018/xslF345X03/rrd347910.xml
Still think this one is a steal in the $4's. Some M&A activity in the space lately with CFK bought out and CJES making an acquisition. Maybe someone will make a play for FES. Hope they don't sell too cheap.
Strange on KTCC. I guess the reason is volatility? That's ridiculous. Will be calling to complain...and put in some orders.
Noticed on Yahoo board that Stabosz bought 10,000 shares of KTCC near the close yesterday. Interesting.
KTCC..TDAmeripoop, has restricted KTCC buy orders: "Opening transactions for this security must be placed with a broker. Please contact us."
Big brother Ameriturdpoopcrap...shite...

KTCC ends up down for the day !
Something is very wrong here IMO. Retail investors will likely be the last to know what's really going on. I rarely see a stock go down 32% after great news, and then go down again on a 2.2% market rally !
R59- KTCC unrelenting seller, so
you might just get your chance at $8.50 yet. I believe this is most likely an institution lightening up, so hard to know when they are finished.
peeker- AAPL
I still own 350 shares, but unloaded 150 today for other things. I really feel the stock action is super sluggish, suggesting maybe Samsung(Judge just delayed any injunction on Samsung to stop selling Tablets) or others will hurt them going forward.
Wade: KTCC is lagging a bit today, but I'll add if it drops to the mid $8's -

CEMID +.05 to $4.55
MEDFORD, N.Y. (June 6, 2012) -- Chembio Diagnostics, Inc. (OTCQB:CEMI.PK)(CEMI.PK), which develops, manufactures, markets and licenses point-of-care diagnostic tests, announced today that its common stock will commence trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market® on Thursday, June 7, 2012, under the ticker symbol "CEMI". Prior to the listing change to NASDAQ, the company's common stock will continue to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board under the current ticker symbol "CEMID”.
Lawrence Siebert, Chief Executive Officer of Chembio, commented, “We are pleased that NASDAQ has confirmed that Chembio has met all of their eligibility requirements. We are confident that this NASDAQ Capital Market® listing will provide Chembio with a significantly expanded market for its securities, generating increased investor interest, which our Board of Directors believes will be in the best interest of all of our shareholders.”
wade...KTCC's big competitors are having a decent day, JBL, FLEX, CLS, SANM are all up around four percent. Of course KTCC is up the most buy far over six months or greater.
R59- OEMs
KTCC down 32% and not recouping much at all despite the great Nasdaq rally today, and that awsome Mar qtr report and June qtr guidence. Do you think that it's over for the OEMs after the bad April employment report ?
Excuse my saying so, but Hogwash. AAPL is doing fine; it's the market that's not acting well.
AAPL not acting well
I think AAPL has seen its day.
KTCC- What's up with this one ?
Did their business die or something ?

AM.to, yes right in the beginning of the day I thought by myself that it looks like there is no selling pressure today and it seems that after some people recognized this the stock took a breather. He will probably be back after the stock goes up a bit. At least that's what I suspect.
AM.to/AMZKF.pk +.15 to C$1.69 volume only 32k so Blair is probably taking the day off.
AM.to, Bobwins
The main problem is the following. Right now their numbers are very very good. But we as shareholders aren't benefitting from it due to this ex CEO guy. Now who knows how the numbers are whenever he is finished with his selling. Nobody knows. We can just hope that they can keep up their business until we investors can benefit from it. At least there is a divi.
STRN: This is an "old" stock from this board. They recently acquired another company, and according to the CEO "Today is a red letter day and transforming event for Sutron."
Low float stock. Worth watching, imo. FWIW.
AM.to AMZKF, Price up today on low volume. Looks like Blair, the big seller, either:
A. Took a day off
B. Slept in
C. Too busy watching the mail for his big fat dividend check.
Whatever Blair is doing, it seems to me that he sure screwed up. He probably could have placed the shares he wanted to sell at say a 10-15% discount with a fund or institution but still at much higher prices than he has now beaten the price down to. Instead, his heavy sales on the open market have dropped the price more than 30% recently.
Stock price is now below tangible book value. Makes more sense for the company to start buying back his shares here. I sent another email to the CEO but he is out of his office. Maybe he is having a chat with Blair or someone about this. It must be frustrating for him to watch the SP dive like this due to former mgmt sales. He's probably getting tired of hearing from stockholders like me too.
I'm not sure higher volume will solve this. We would need really high volume to solve this problem. Ex CEO has 3.5 million shares as of last report. He started the year with 4 million. At 15-50K per day, it's going to be awhile.......
Too bad company can't find an institutional buyer.
3,500,000 divided by 15,000 = 233 trading days
3,500,000 divided by 50,000 = 70 trading days.
If he really wants to liquidate down to zero, it will be months. It's already been months. But at the end of the day, they still made .18eps last qtr and pay .06 per qtr dividend.
I still think it's a steal.
ANLY filing shows Norman Pessin (whoever that is?) bought 128,000 shares in the month of May!

PATK starting to look attractive again in the high $10's. Was $14 just a week ago. Q1 earnings of .63/share (excluding a warrant charge) on a 48% jump in revenues. Stock already looks cheap on those numbers, then the kicker is Q2 and Q3 are typically their seasonally stronger quarters.
HIMX down in 1.70's. Company earned .07/share in Q1, gave Q2 guidance of .08-.10/share, strong balance sheet, and should be announcing their annual dividend any day now.
TORM conference presentation link
TORM presented at the Southwest IDEAS conference this morning
The link from the TORM website is wrong - it points to another company called Tower International.
You can get to the real presentation here:
http://www.wsw.com/webcast/threepa7/
FTK: Sold out of my position to raise money. It has remained fairly steady during this downturn. Saw a profit and grabbed it.
OT: Pip-pip, cheer-i-o. Delayed looking at the market today to watch the Queen of England appear on the palace balcony and watch the fly-over of Spitfires and modern jets. She didn't look too happy. Maybe Prince Phillip is sicker than they are letting on.
Ta ta for now. Off to the ZCC board.
Does a state or city or other jurisdiction have time to buy and install ITSI voting machines before November if they wanted to?
INMG..great news my friend..great call..:)

Value Microcaps is dedicated to finding profitable, low p/e, value stocks. Although our title would suggest a limit on market cap or stock price, we are primarily looking for the "Value" proposition and buy some stocks that are bigger. We avoid story stocks with no revenues or earnings. We do look for turnaround situations where companies have posted a profitable qtr and have indicated in their guidance that additional profits are imminent.
Only stocks that have posted earnings for the most recent quarter, or more earnings than losses for the previous 2, 3 or 4 quarters are appropriate stocks for this board. The word "value" implies earnings.
Quarterly reporting is required in order to qualify for this board. If a stock fails to report and is delisted, it no longer qualifies.
Also, please refrain from duplicate posting on Value Microcaps and VMC Free-Four-All (FFA). Determine which board is most appropriate and post only on that board.
