PS: I bought HERO in mid-march based on a 2+2 recomendation and it's up 30%. Thx to whomever posted.

[/ QUOTE ]

I am a big fan of HERO - offshore drilling is a spectacular industry right now, massive growth - HERO is my second favorite behind ATW - analysts are projecting huge growth for both, but they still have low P/E's, PEG's in the 0.15-0.20 range, that's about as low as you'll find. I haven't found a stock in offshore drilling yet that I thought was overvalued.

As for others I like TIE - demand from Boeing, titanium prices rising with increasing demand, TIE has less current fixed-price contracts than its competitors, meaning titanium prices will likely be higher when new long-term contracts are signed, good valuation, tons of insider buying/ownership, no debt. Smaller than ATI, more room for growth, a lot less hype.

Also like two more well-known stocks having a bumpy short-term that should be fine in the long-term - SBUX (increased milk prices pressuring margins) and WFMI (FTC mess w/ the Wild Oats merger - FWIW I expect the merger to go through and for the stock to bounce when it does, although I think it will be fine even if for whatever reason the merger is rejected - good financials, brand and management, same as SBUX).

yahoo

management turn over, got semel out who was wasting money
panama is a big step forward toward improving monetization, which is basically free money that had been giving away
i think the market overreacted to some past earnings reports, especially in relation to google's
i expect very good q2 numbers due to panama ramping up, which seems to be coming to fruition based on some comments semel made before he left

edit to add:
yes there's other quantitative reasons, but i am obviously half assing this explanation
they will get bought by ms, yes i know that there was already a rumor and it fell through

My name is Jeff "FISHHEAD" Struthers and have been gambling professionally for quite some time. Many know me from other gambling portals and/or through various gambling venues(sportsbooks/casinos/pokerrooms).

The two stocks I have recommended above are set to really do well in the next 1-24 months............and in fact, GULF ETHANOL has risen close to 50% in the past 2-3 weeks........while PACIFIC ETHANOL has risen from 12.70 to 14.70 in the past week or so.

Another stock I like is POKERTEC..........as they are launching a countrywide based video arcade game to bars/taverns/restaurants all over the U.S. and the game is based on NO LIMIT HEADS-UP play. I expect this to be very, very popular.

Good luck,
-FH-

unfortunatelty the unofficial portfolio got wiped as i had exams and so couldnt update it for a few weeks. however, i have located my yahoo portfolio.

unsurprisingly the 2 i invested in are the 2 worst performing ones. (both down about 20%) but overall the portfolio since it's launch 3.5 months ago is up a little over 16%. in which time the nasdaq is up 10.4%, dow 10.8% and sp500 8.7%

top performers have been:

span: 85%
amsc: 56%
ise: 40%
then a number all on 30-35%

the only losers (the top two which i invested in.....)
rsc.v -24%
aun.v -19%
nxg -10%
then 3 on -1%

i think it's crazy given all the wealth of knowledge on this forum we do not combine our forces more (ill help out with some poker advice)

Latest purchase" ITT (water play) -- Long term buy

I added more EWA (austrailian ETF) -- this has been great for past Year+.

I have 5-6 Oil and Oil service plays. I live in san antonio and lately bought into 2 companies that have not been fantastic, but are finely showing some life in past 2 months ABP -- abraxas and PDC --pioneer (maybe a takeover candidate --good balance sheet).

For spec -- i thought i would buy a little bit of PTEK also. Seems like a good idea. I didn t get to see the HU match at wsop demonstrating it. Nevertheless, will give it a small shot.
