HIMX
Ari5000 I also bought some HIMX this morning. Its holding up pretty good considering the torching the market is getting.
HIMX
ARI5000 just stumbled on it (HIMX) when doing research on Vectorvest. Have not done allot of research but would say it may be a buy because:
1) IT is based in Taiwan one of the best values in the world right now.
2) Company is cheap and growing.
3) It has been beaten down probably abit by tax selling since all initial holders are under water. On my one year chart it looks like it is trying to make a trend change.
All that being said I have not bought but am considering an initial position this morning. I really like the prospects for Taiwan this year and there are alot of value stocks there so would like to pick up a few that trade in the USA.
Here is one I stumbled on while cruising around Vectorvest tonight.

Board Authorizes $40 Million Share Buyback Program
TAINAN, Taiwan, Nov. 1, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Himax Technologies, Inc.
("Himax" or "Company") (Nasdaq:HIMX) today reported financial results for the
third quarter ended September 30, 2007.
Net revenue for the third quarter of 2007 was $243.3 million, representing
37.4% growth year-over-year and 9.2% growth sequentially.
Gross margin was 22.5% in the third quarter of 2007, up 510 basis points
year-over-year and 210 basis points sequentially.
Operating margin was 8.2% in the third quarter of 2007. Operating income was
$19.9 million, up from $0.8 million in the same period last year, and down
from $24.9 million in the previous quarter.
Net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $21.8 million, up from $2.6
million in the same period last year, and down from $26.8 million in the
previous quarter. The decline is primarily due to the grant of 2007 annual
restricted share units at the end of September. This represents earnings per
share of $0.11 per basic and diluted share, compared to $0.01 per basic and
diluted share in the third quarter of 2006, and $0.14 per basic and diluted
share in the second quarter of 2007.
Excluding share-based compensation and acquisition-related charges, non-GAAP
operating margin was 14.9% in the third quarter of 2007. Non-GAAP operating
income was $36.2 million, up from $12.2 million in the same period last year,
and up from $28.1 million in the previous quarter.
Non-GAAP net income was $38.0 million, up from $14.1 million in the same
period last year, and up from $30.0 million in the previous quarter. This
represents earnings per share of $0.19 per basic and diluted share, compared
to $0.07 per basic and diluted share in the third quarter of 2006, and $0.15
per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2007.
Share-based compensation was $15.7 million, compared to $11.5 million in the
third quarter of 2006, and $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2007.
Acquisition-related charges were $0.6 million, compared to $0 in the third
quarter of 2006 and $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2007.
A reconciliation of our gross margin, operating margin and diluted EPS
excluding share-based compensation and acquisition-related charges, a
non-GAAP financial measure, to GAAP gross margin, GAAP operating margin and
diluted GAAP EPS, our most comparable GAAP figure, is set out in the attached
reconciliation schedule.
Jordan Wu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Himax, commented, "We
are pleased with the third quarter results as we achieved record high
revenues. We were able to improve our gross margin for the fourth consecutive
quarter, resulting in a seven fold increase in our year-over-year GAAP net
income. Separately, on October 12, we announced plans to spin-off our TV and
monitor chipset operation which will be named Himax Media Solutions, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Himax Taiwan upon its establishment. Himax Media
Solutions, Inc. will be focusing on expanding market share in the global TV
and monitor chipset market opportunity. We have identified certain strategic
investors and plan to invite them to partner with us in the future. We
believe this new company structure will allow us to better focus our
resources for the global TV and monitor chipset market opportunity."
Mr. Wu added, "On November 1st, our board approved a share repurchase
program that authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $40 million worth of
the Company's American Depository Receipts. The program does not obligate
Himax to acquire any particular amount of ADRs and may be modified or
suspended at any time at the Company's sole discretion. With the repurchase
program, we reaffirm our confidence and optimism in the long term future of
the company. This also demonstrates our commitment to deliver value to our
shareholders."
Max Chan, Chief Financial Officer of Himax, said, "We made our 2007 annual
restricted share units grant of approximately $26.4 million at the end of
September. Approximately 54.5%, or $14.4 million was paid out in cash, and
vested and expensed immediately. The remainder of the grant will be vested in
three equal installments over the next three years. Total share-based
compensation accrued in the third quarter, including expenses from legacy
grants amounted to $15.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share."
Looking forward, Mr. Wu added, "We expect revenue to grow around mid-single
digit in the fourth quarter and gross margin to remain flat. We expect
diluted GAAP EPS to be in the range of $0.16 to $0.17. "

MontyHigh very nice blog you have.
Ron Struthers wrote today (PZG):
Quote:
What I see as a buy of a lifetime and also a take over target in 2008 is one of my favorites, Paramount Gold and Silver – PZG, recently $1.70. I have been quite surprised by the recent weakness in the stock, even with the year-end selling. There is definitely a seller in the market for some reason. I have followed their exploration closely and it looks to be going very well, but I was concerned whether I had missed something. I got a hold of Bill Reed, who I have come to know quite well over the years and have been impressed with his honesty and the fact he is a quite conservative geologist and also very experienced.
He is not afraid and is willing to warn on anything he does not like or looks inferior. In fact earlier in the year he warned me about Tara Gold's Las Minitas project that the historic data was probably fraudulent. Hecla mining drilled 3 holes in the late 1990s to verify the data and found nothing and lo and behold Pershimco - PRO, Tara's recent former JV partner found the same thing. It was one reason that I have been recommending Paramount over Tara beside the better valuation Paramount has based on the San Miguel project. I think Tara is also over sold now, but still has down side risk. Anyway, my concern is the San Miguel project.
Bill Reed is no longer running the detailed exploration program which is now been handled by Larry Segerstrom, another very well qualified geologist that over saw exploration at Freeport-McMoran, but Mr. Reed is still over seeing the exploration and is keeping a pulse on the project. Paramount has been doing a lot of drilling as part of a 50,000 meter program. I put a blunt question to Mr. Reed and that was - Do you see any reason why the next resource estimate will not go over 100 million ounces silver? Mr. Reed said he did not see any problem and that was a very obtainable target.
Even if one was to be very conservative and say they 43-101'd just 73 million ounces like Orko. Orko has a market cap of $162 million which is more than double Paramount's current $77 million market cap. Based on only 73 million ounces, the stock should more than double to over $3.50 a share.
However, I have every reason to believe they will go over 100 million ounces and this would put Paramount in the big league with a superior valuation. The brokerage and fund analysts would no longer be able to ignore the stock like they have done so far. It would be far too embarrassing if they do not report on a major discovery. There is no reason to believe that Paramount cannot make a similar discovery as Palmerajo and a similar valuation. I will remind you once again that Palmerajo was just bought out for about $1 billion based on a 149 million ounce 43-101 silver equivalent measured and indicated resource (and additional 100 M ounce silver eqv. inferred).
When Paramount 43-101s over 100 million ounces it will be about half way to Palmerajo, and only half the market cap would be $500 million or over $10 per share. Going over 100 million will make Paramount a take over target in 2008 and it will still have a lot of exploration potential. As of this date they have still only done shallow drilling and finding lots of silver and gold, there is all kinds of potential at depth still and is why I think this discovery can rival Palmerajo.
While perhaps the analysts and news letter writers have been ignoring Paramount, the major mining companies have not, with many already visiting the project and others going on site in early 2008. They all have deep pockets and are willing to pay what a project is worth. Imagine a major stepping in and buying this (I doubt it would happen until after the next 43-101 which will probably be in the next few months), but imagine if this happens in several months at between $5 and $10 a share and not one analyst or major newsletter has covered the stock. I have never seen this happen, so it is only a matter of time before everyone jumps on the band wagon, in the meantime, I have little doubt this is one of or maybe the best buy out there among advanced exploration stocks.
Look at the management team, over 325 years combined experience, these types don't associate with losing stories, but winners!
I bought just a little higher than you in July at $2.27 or $1.14 post split. I also have no intention of selling now.
GFRE continues to make me money with very little fanfare. Anyone else out there own it?
I think there are a few here that own the GFRE including me. Making a nice move today trading at $2.90.
Yes UVE did break the trendline ever so slightly on Monday but I like to see a little follow through such as today before trusting the breakout.
gold, according to this chart it looks like UVE broke the downtrend line on Monday.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=25537084
UVE: Broke its downtrend line today to the upside. May be a good one to accumulate here if you dont own.
Its not quite a microcap but I just bought some TELOZ this morning at $17.06. Its been pounded to where it looks like a value stock with great dividend. Any opinions?

B: Sun River Energy Continues Service and Completion Work at Its Raton Basin Coa
WHEAT RIDGE, CO, Dec 12, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
Sun River Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: SNRV) announced today that Halliburton
Energy Services has recently completed a "squeeze job" on its Myers
#3 well in Colfax County, New Mexico, located on the Company's lease
acreage in the Raton Basin. This work performed by Haliburton
involved the perforation and cementing of the Myers #3 well. Sun
River Energy now intends to relog the well, and perforate those coal
zones indicated as having the most potential by the log.
As recently announced, Sun River Energy has identified multiple
target zones in the Myers #1 and Myers #2 wells that appear to hold
potential for production; this based upon existing logs done on the
area. The Company's underlying intent is to test production ability
and gas quality. If successful, further stimulation will be planned
in these zones. If initial production and gas quality tests reveal
less than what is expected, Sun River Energy will move to test the
multiple 'lower zones' in the Vermijo formation. This lower formation
is connected to the zone from which several thousand wells to the
west in the Raton Basin are currently producing.
Additional information on these planned tests will be released as
soon as they become available to the Company. Interested investors
are encouraged to call Equiti-trend Advisors for further information
on Sun River Energy. Representatives are available daily during and
after market hours from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. eastern time. See

Benz do you have a position in AURC either long or short?. I wouldnt ask this without disclosing the info myself. I have 440,000 shares which were accumulated starting at 2.7 cents and on up. Benz you and I started buying around the same time a long time ago. By your posts I assume you sold all but on the other hand you said you have an "interest" in AURC in a post to me about half an hour ago?
You along with others were talking about this a few weeks ago. Thats how I knew it. If you think I am going to look for the posts you are crazy. I try to use my time to do things positive and look for investments I like not hang out where I dont have any interest. You must have gotten burned awfully bad on this one.
Benz this has been discussed here many times before. It isnt a secret.

WHEAT RIDGE, CO, Nov 30, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
Sun River Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: SNRV) announces that it has retained
the services of Halliburton to provide perforation, cementing and
logging on the Myers #3 well in Colfax County, New Mexico and
perforation in 15+ coal zones on the Myers #1 and #2 wells on its

Energy believes that the perforations in the Myers #1 and #2 wells
will provide test results of the Raton formation gas production
noticed during open hole in the drilling stages of these wells. The
company has identified multiple zones in each of the wells with
potential for production based upon existing logs. The intent is to
test production ability and gas quality. If successful, further
stimulation will be planned in those zones. If not successful in

What is SAMs pink sheet symbol?
First question to NWOL.
Why don't you get an educated English speaker to review your Press Releases so you don't sound like morons?
I just bought some HBMFF. I couldnt resist under $20.
I hope your right after a couple years it would be nice to get this thing on the right track not because I want to make money I just want to make fun of Benz. Just Kidding.
BWLRF: Its strange. Depending on where you look you get a different quote. Schwab has had a bad quote for weeks. My MYTRACK seems to have the correct quote but doesnt show volume to end of day. I sold half my position today because the stock has been acting very poorly. Will keep the other half because I think there is long term or take over value here.
Please PM me also. Thank you in advance.
Please PM me the info. Been long for a couple years.
What is going on with the BWLRF? Did the symbol change?
