Hey Adam, Re: ZRAN & NTOP

Sorry for the delay ... I've been eating for the past four days and just now stopped.
I realized this morning that it was back to reality and work.

I chose ZRAN and NTOP for the following reasons:

ZRAN was suggested by this board.
NTOP's CEO was on CNBC the morning I bought the stock.
Then I found out they were IPOing even though they've been public for a while ??

Then I ran both of them through my filter I have before I buy any stock:

AIM worthiness
extreme beta (preferrably above 2)
in a valley on the chart ... along with other TA that I do
short-sales rising (contrarianly nice, but not necessary)
Company worthiness
low debt/equity
avg. daily volume > 100k
been around for three-years or more
not horrible P/S & P/B
cash on hand versus cash flow shows that they can pay for their next year or two
gut feeling
if my gut is getting bigger, the economy must be doing well.

We'll see how it goes . . . .....

Thanks to all on this board for your ideas and suggestions.
I've never seen such an openly intelligent board with great ideas.
It stimulates the growth of my own ideas.

Thanks !!
