Geronimo what other stocks do you follow? You post only on ABTL on Yahoo msg board and here. So wasn't able to trace your other stocks.
Also where do you get the analysts' reports/comments on ABTL that you have posted over the last several quarters on Yahoo msg board.
Thanks
3 factors affected ABTL negatively last year.
-Earthquake/Tsunami in Japan.
-Thailand flooding. A lot of Japanese auto firms assemble their cars here.
-Overall downdraft in the small cap mkt since July, corresponding with European debt malaise.
Japanese auto production/sales have been picking up in the last few weeks. So that is a positive for ABTL near term.
Time to sell the company. Today's action is further proof that not many funds seem to be interested in ABTL. 4 firms (Craig Hallum, Roth, ThinkEq, B Riley) have it as a buy rating with 3 of these initiating buy coverage a few months ago, yet the stock didn't even break 1$ despite the new coverage from 3 firms.
Sell it management, ASAP!
Looks like we are back to square one. In 20's again. Sigh.
Happy new year to all.
An interesting blog overflowing with profanities by a trader living in Seoul.

ABTL and HH are reasonably safe at these levels.
After I lost my job, my good friend suggested that I look at trading. At that time, I had zero knowledge of how stocks work. But slowly, I started reading up on stocks. And knowledge gives you confidence. After a couple of years of doing some trading, I had a reasonably good grasp of what I needed to do to be successful. Then, I lost my job for the second time. The layoff timing was right for me to take a plunge into full time trading as I had been thinking about it for awhile. So this is my story.
I don't aim for the next IBM or AAPL. I make small trades and am happy with every dollar gained. No profit is small
100$ a day will net you 25k in annual profits.
200$ a day gives 50k
300$ 75k etc
i.e every 100$ a day gives u 25k.
Try not to take unnecessarily big risks. Be disciplined. Respect the market. Be modest and disciplined. Else you will make money in a few years but may lose it overtime. Be consistent over the long term. Be thirsty for knowledge. But don't be too aggressive while trading. Know your limits. Don't lose your sleep over trades.
Small and micro caps have had a tough time since July. End of year selling still going on in DCMT. Some fund has been selling at 30 cents since earnings. Maybe Jan will be better for this stock.
One more stock to consider: CAMP.
ACFN: Waited for a dip. It never came.
I am a full time trader. Been doing this for a few years now. It is not easy but I like doing it and have been reasonably successful *so far*. I have to keep things simple & living costs under control. My goal is to compound profits in another 5 years and increase capital i.e plow profits back in as new capital. Full time trading is not for everyone. You need to be extremely disciplined.
Xmas was fine.
Wishing you a happy new year.
Back to 26 cents. Move up Doc.
I did it today in less than a minute. LOL. Once you figure it out it is easy.
If you do it logically you should be able to it quickly as the number of available spots for the sheep become very few.
Focus first on putting 3 wolves close to one another in such a way that they control as few number of squares as u can.
It didn't take me that long, about 30 mins once I started thinking like a mathematician. LOL.
Are you a mathematician? If yes then you must surely be getting less easily confused than me
Here is a puzzle for you. The wolf has the power of a queen piece:

Don't feel bad about giving only 2. But part of your job as an investor should be to have a good list of familiar stocks. So keep building that list meanwhile
Social gaming is in vogue now. GLUU, COOL, Zinga etc are some stocks in this area.
DNAD has too many zeroes in the stock price. And that confuses me. Plus OS count is 200m with float at 120m. I'll pass on DNAD for now.
ACFN has options but the are highly illiquid. Will look at it if get gets dumped to 4.6
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/op?s=ACFN+Options
GNRG is close to breakeven operationlly
BIRT, HCKT and ONNN are profitable and cheap stocks. Look at the recent chart and decide your entry point. Don't overpay. In this mkt you can get stocks at cheap price if you are patient enough.
Book value is around 25 cents for GNRG. And a lot of insider buying. So, I like it for that reason at this price.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/it?s=GNRG.OB+Insider+Transactions
OPWV: Revenues have fallen drastically. Losses per quarter have ballooned scarily. Near low 1 becomes a safer play. Patent lawsuit against AAPL, RIMM. Microsoft entered into patent licensing recently. In discussions with GOOG for Android phones.
API: Revenues increasing nicely. Close to breakeven. Stock has retraced heavily. Coming quarters will moderate growth as Thai floods have affected customers.
DCMT made 1.5c if you back out the options related gains. Assuming it can deliver same numbers in upcoming qtrs, annualized earnings will be 6 to 7cents. Applying a 10x multiple gives 70cents, plus another 20cents for book value. So stock can go up to 90 cents *IF* it can deliver earnings in coming qtrs. Otherwise we will be back to square one in just one quarter. Doesn't take much for a microcap stock to have a misstep. And in this kind of mkt penny stocks get trashed easily.
NCR option to buy more shares can take it closer to 1 if NCR exercizes that option.
If next qtr is a real good one say with 3 cents actual earnings (meaning they earn 620k) then stock will really rocket up and can head to $2.
Short term stock can head to 60cents and stay thereabouts, if funds are convinced about earnings sustainability and bid the stock up.
A lot depends on the next qtr.
What do you think?
Analyst report for TPCS. Download from here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LDZD4RQP
TPCS is getting weak. Might get dumped as it broke $1.
ACFN looks good. It has lots of cash now following of CoaLogix.
http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/ACFN.O/key-developments/article/2393832
Will look further into it. Give me more like ACFN.
For speculation: API , GNRG , OPWV
Be patient and buy when funds dump. And diversify no matter what & how MonaLisa like a stock may look to you.
You may also want to add BIRT, HCKT and ONNN to your watchlist.

Search that site for more ABTL coverage.
Come on WCRS, go up. Wonder who was gobbling the shares at 2 cents over the last few months.
Wunderlich has a 4$ target price on TPCS.
ABTL is considered a takeover target. 4 analysts have it as a buy.
Craig Hallum, ThinkEquity, Roth and BR Riley. Now it is profitable and it is also close to its book value. Market is tough these days with small cap stocks that disappoint. ABTL said it will be affected by the floods in Thai as it has affected Asian auto manufacturers. Buy it if someone dumps. Put a lowball order.
Do u have any other stocks? DNA seems too low quality
What other stocks do you follow?
I like ABTL.
TPCS has potential too.
You can listen to their recent conf calls.
Thanks

For details.
Is true earnings really 3 cents? I think it will be 1.5 cents if 285 is used instead of 620.
Operating income (loss) : 285
Non-operating income (expense), net: 335
Net income (loss) before income taxes: 620
Non-Operating Income (Expense)
The most significant component of our non-operating income (expense) was a non-cash gain of $348,000 and $618,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, to reflect the decreased fair value of our stock option liability. Similarly, the most significant component of our non-operating income (expense) during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was a $232,000 non-cash loss related to the increased fair value of our stock option liability. See “Note 9 – Fair Value” in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Generally, we will report a non-cash gain during any accounting period in which there is a reported decrease in the value of our common stock, and a non-cash loss during any accounting period in which there is a reported increase in the value of our common stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Goldberg Capital Mngmnt was on the conf call.

3 cents EPS.
IP-driven leader in the design, development, manufacture and sale of advanced imaging technologies for over a decade, today announced third quarter 2011 revenues of $5.3 million, up 48% over Q3 2010. For the first nine months of 2011 (as at September 30), revenues were $12.7 million, up more than 24% over the same period 2010.
Q3 2011 revenues are the highest in the Company's history. DCT also delivered Q3 fully diluted income of 3 cents a share for the quarter and breakeven for the first nine months of 2011. DCT's revenues have risen each quarter for the past two years.
Operating expenses were up slightly over Q3 2010 at $1.75 million. EBITDA* (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) at $640,000 was almost 10 times ahead of the same quarter 2010. DCT continues to be debt free, with cash on hand of $913,000, working capital of $5.3 million and a further borrowing capacity of $1.7 million. Profit margins approached 39%.
"For the eighth consecutive quarter, through the worst economic landscape in a generation, DCT continues to deliver consistent revenue growth as we execute our aggressive business plan," said David P. Clark, Chief Executive Officer of Document Capture. "Q3 revenues are the best so far in our history and management remains confident that the momentum of our global sales and partnership initiatives will continue this trend and deliver a record 2011 and beyond."

Expecting a record quarter on Monday. But expect stock to trade near 10 cents in coming weeks, if recent quarters are used as an indication. Seems like it always drops a big percentage every quarter, no matter what management says.

Thanks for the RDC summit link.
Thanks for the update. Stock has taken a beating. Hopefully it will do better next year.
Go WCRS. Travel higher, faster.
3 cents. Looks like bottomed and heading higher.
Could spike in a jiffy. Last year went to 20 cents around this time.
While other insiders have been buying, Beck has been selling a few.
His holding size was 297,082. If volume crosses 300k and selling dries up then very likely he was the seller.
