The PR is a little fluffy, but it sounds like pretty cool tech to me....

TATT PR just hit the wire FWIW
ESOA($2.68) up 45% this month! Any theories why? TIA
I've been a ETCC($.67) buyer the past couple days...
As evidenced by the 6/9 PR, that big contract is now in backlog...and backlog is now $104M vs just $19M a year ago. More importantly, the company estimates that approximately 54% of the total backlog will be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months. This suggests FY24 revenues of at least $56M vs just $26M in FY23...

Nice surge in HTCR($2) shares, but I wouldn't stick around too long...
The pre-tax income of $2.5M in the quarter reflects about $4M in "Warrants received as noncash consideration"...

FNGD plumbing new depths today; what's your latest thinking on this one? TIA
NWLI up $108 to $376! Great call mandjb!
Strange doings indeed at BUKS. Not sure what to make of it myself. It seems like quite a dramatic transition at the top is a real short time...a little worrisome IMO. But the market seems to like it, with the stock trying to break out of the narrow trading range that persisted from late September to just last week...

PGNT results were light for sure, but Q1 is traditionally a weaker quarter for the company. With a P/E of about 3 and $3+ of cash/share, I'll continue to be patient...

Small caps are cheap...
Small-Caps Break a 76-Year Pattern of Gains After a Midterm Election -- Barrons.com
By Joe Light
Small-cap companies just made history, and not in a good way. For the economy, it's a sign of pain to come, but for investors, it could be setting up an opportunity.
The six-month window after the U.S. midterm elections has typically been an amazing time to invest in stocks, and in small-caps especially, according to the Leuthold Group. But this time around, the Russell 2000 fell 3.5%, marking its first loss in the six months after the midterms since 1946-47. The S&P 500 rose 8.6%.
If history is any guide, the negative performance is bad news for the economy. Small-caps tend to be a bellwether. They sell off before larger stocks as a recession approaches, hit their bottom before the economy reaches its nadir and lead the market out of the slump.
Part of the reason is that they tend to accrue most of their earnings from the U.S. and can't lean on global profits during a domestic downturn. Investors also tend to flee to large, stable companies when they believe the economy will shrink.
The underperformance was especially notable given how well small-caps usually do at this point in the election cycle. Before this year, small-caps had been on a 76-year streak of gains in the six months after a midterm election cycle. In all, since 1926, such periods had been marked by an 18.3% average return for small-caps, according to Leuthold, versus a 13.7% return for the S&P 500.
The theory, according to Leuthold, is that politics are at play. After the midterms, government officials turn their gaze to the more important presidential election. Typically, the money supply expands in the years leading to that vote, Leuthold says, which gives support to small-caps.
The difference this year is that small-caps have also suffered disproportionately from the regional banking crisis that began in early March. Not only are small-cap indexes more concentrated in financial services companies than large-caps, small tech firms were the most exposed to the destruction of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.
The good news for investors is that the weakness has left small-caps looking especially cheap, Leuthold says.
Small stocks' trailing price-to-earnings ratio is in the bottom 5th percentile of those of the last 30 years. Relative to large-caps, their valuations -- whether looking at earnings or book value -- are at or near multidecade lows.
To take advantage, investors might need patience and a strong stomach. For now, the market seems to be merely pricing in a slowdown in growth or at most a mild recession, and if those calls are wrong, small-caps could continue to suffer.
"It's worrisome (and exciting at the same time) to think about how low some of those figures might go during a recession," Leuthold said in a report.

Thanks nelson
Thanks for the detailed reply nelson. If you could only buy one stock right here, would it be KTCC or SGMA?
nelson, what did you think of the KTCC($5.69) quarter? TIA
SGMA prints $4 on 7.6M volume...thanks hweb!!!
re SGMA($3.03): it still amazes me that shareholders approved the acquisition of Wagz!
SGMA surging 13% on Wagz ditching...finally!!
https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/SGMA/news/story?e&id=2518580
Yep, hard to believe contagion in the sector will abate anytime soon. I'm sure we'll find, in retrospect, that there were some amazing bargains out there. But I'm too chicken to play it
Uh oh...PACW and WAL halted, both down about 20%
Nice call bob!
Meanwhile, FRC appears to be headed to zero. 52-week high on that one was $170
TOP hit $256; book value is <$1/share...
Can you TOP this?! Zhong Yang Financial (TOP) traded at $6.70 two days ago; current price: $130!
Very tired of hearing how Alvarez is the #1 prospect in baseball! His audition for The Show has been very painful to watch for this Mets fan…
Nice catch on SKAS; that does sound a bit ominous...
especially considering the rapacious tax-and-spend regime calling the shots in NYC...
SKAS printing a new high on solid 2022 results; got any left?
https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/SKAS/news/SAKER-AVIATION-SERVICES-INC-ANNOUNCES-FINANCIAL-RESULTS-FOR-THE-TWELVE-MONTHS-ENDED-DECEMBER-31-2022?id=396851
I'm adding some SPRS($2.90) today. While the quarter was somewhat disappointing, the PR was upbeat IMO. Also, we're talking about a company that's been profitable 20 out of the last 21 quarters...these guys can make money in all sorts of economic circumstances. Plus, $1.84/share in cash gives them significant firepower to buyback stock, initiate a dividend, or make an accretive acquisition...
Not to speak for SSK, but I would think it would a mathematical/accounting nightmare for him to figure out how much he made week-to-week on a SGOV position...
BDCO printing 5-year high @$2.90
Chairman Carroll added shares earlier this week...
ARTW($2.20) reports Q1 $.07 vs loss $.09, revenues up 41%
PR hasn't hit Dow Jones yet...
