Lets slow down a little, yes is NVEC recent run is hyped and the run was probably engineered to allow some insiders a way out, but surely it is much less hyped than VLNC was in 2000, or the recent run of WAVX. Currently, all these three companies (VLNC, WAVX and NVEC) sport a market cap of between $130 MM to $250 MM (actually, $250, $170 and $130 MM respectively). The only one actually having positive cash flow is NVEC. Not only do they have positive cash flow, but their revenues and profits are increasing nicely. Lets take the comparative "hype stories". VLNC supposedly will capture a major chunk of the "$10 B" (These are the hypists' hoped for numbers not mine). WAVX, will derive $1 to $30 (let say $10) for 100 MM PC per year or a "potential market" of $1 B (once again, the hypists' point of view). According to "reliable sources" spintronics will eventually become a $100 B market per year...(and in all three cases, these statements and 2 bucks will get you a cup of coffee). I made my triple bagger plus from VLNC on its 2000 run. On WAVX I already made my double and a half bagger just recently, on NVEC, before that fateful leaving an open trade when I was not able to watch, I had my double bagger under the belt in less than a month. I had to work hard to compensate for that $9 plus loss, and brought it down to only a loss of $2.5 (and actually still at $20.5 total gain on it so far, pretty close to a double bagger, since I started playing it from around $22). What is the point? In a snorting market, part of the market's liquidity will seek those supposedly "high potential" (namely a hyped future...) situations, and from experience, good money can be made by carefully exploiting these (particularly if not making the error of leaving the playing table with an unfinished play on the table, like earlier this week). From these three (and I can add to these the like of GERN abnd DNDN, which you love to love... current market caps of $280 MM and $400 B respectively, both, losing money and having "hyped prospects", namely target markets, much smaller that the above three), NVEC is the best, IMTO, it makes money, has positive cash flow and no danger of running out of money (at least no imminent danger within a year), sales are growing as does the bottom line. If you think some of these five should be shorted, the two junior bios are probably better candidates than NVEC.
Actually, now that the speculative juices and the lime light have been directed at NVEC, if we continue this bull move into next year, I would not be surprised to see it at twice the current price within the next 12 months. In other words, CY sold all its position, thus no overhead supply (though they still have warrants to buy 400,000 shares at $15 a share, which I am sure their will exercise soon). With about half the shares now in the float, the stock will be more liquid than it has been and depending on the market, who knows how far it can go.
All the above is far from saying that NVEC is a "value" company, or anything like that, but from the five stocks mentioned here, it surely is the best.
