Here some to look at. The first one (AMTR) I think is overbought. Have not looked at CNXT or ADCT, ant thoughts?
The last 2- (GLW)and (ARDI) Are mid to long term buys, IMO.

These are excerpts from a story I read a few days ago. Just getting back to it.

Airlines have burned countless investors. But if you want to take a chance on the industry, try Amtran Inc. (AMTR ), parent of American Trans Air, the country's 10th-largest carrier. Its stock is 72% owned by founder and Chairman J. George Mikelsons. Before the terrorist attacks, he had planned to take the airline private. Give Mikelsons time to line up new financing, and he may buy up the rest at a nice premium.


If you ardently believe tech will climb out of the dumps soon, Conexant Systems Inc. (CNXT ) may be worth a look. It trades at just a fraction of its March, 2000, high, but it recently said sales of chips to wireless customers were higher than expected. Another telecom speculation is equipment maker ADC Telecommunications Inc. (ADCT ), which also has seen its stock get beaten down but has none of the debt problems of its rivals.


Fiber-optics maker Corning Inc. (GLW ) has crumpled along with the telecoms, but it's a huge company with only part of its business in the ailing fiber-optics industry. Down more than 80% since the start of 2001, it now trades at only about 1.4 times book value.


@Road Inc. (ARDI ), which sells transmitters for enabling fleet owners to keep track of their trucks, taxis, and so on. Insiders have been buying the stock, always a good sign.
