I like the chart on this one. Looks to me that it is ready for a
change according to TA. Nice crossover on the 5/10 ema's. Compared to
the companies 52 week low this puppy has plenty room to grow.
Currently trading at $3.37 and it was up 5% today. I discovered this
stock at roughly $3.20, so let's see where it goes from here. Volume
is decent but nothing out of the ordinary. Wondering if it will make
the jump to around $4.00 and establish a 20% gain or so in the short
term.
We'll see,

Linda, I ran a screener (11 stocks)and compared it to yours. I come
up with 4 matching stocks under $5.
ASGN, ELP, TWR, and VWKS
FWIW, The others I got were DHB, ENI, JJZ, SWC, TGS, TMM, TYL.
I used $1-$5 price range, volume 100K-5mil, Market cap $100mil-
$1bil, yield 0%-15%, Profit margin 0%-30%, P/E 0-15, P/B 0-5.
Now off to look at these 4 a little closer.

Subject: the 4 matches
I did a quick look at the four stocks that matched in the screener
V.S. linda's scan. Of those, I like TWR the most, but do not see a
reason to jump in on Monday<g>. I will probably throw a couple
dollars at MSI on the fact they are on the bowser report. Looking for
the effect they have on TRCR.
ASGN
On Assignment, Inc. is a provider of skilled temporary professionals
to clients in the science and healthcare industries. The Company
provides clients in these markets with short-term or long-term
assignments of temporary professionals and temporary-to-permanent
placement of these professionals. During the year ended December 31,
2002, the Company provided temporary professionals to approximately
5,900 clients. On Assignment's business consists of two operating

Allied Travel, Healthcare Financial Staffing, Clinical Lab Staff and
Diagnostic Imaging Staff divisions, and lab support, which provides

industries
For the three months ended 03/03, revenues rose 37% to $57.8 million.
Net loss totaled $452 thousand, vs. an net income of $2.9 million.
Results reflect an increase in healthcare staffing sales, offset by
higher S/G/A expenses as a percentage of revenue.
After trying to read the 8K on 5 Jun 03, I'm to confused to go
further.
ELP

final customers during 2000, 44.5% was to industrial customers, 25.2%
to residential customers, 14.5% to commercial customers, and 15.8% to

For the nine months ended 9/30/02, revenues rose 21% to R$1.97
billion. Net loss totaled R$49.9 million, vs. an income of R$89.5
million. Revenues reflect increased residential, industrial, and
commercial consumption and power rate increases. Net loss reflects
increased electricity purchased for resale and interest costs.
This one has some legal issues.
