Earnings/Follow Up Commentary

Tue, 12 May 2009 19:04:59 GMT

I wanted to follow up on the earnings results and subsequent market reaction of a couple of names I was watching. First, Advanced Battery Technologies (ABAT). I've never held any positions in this, and it caught my eye purely because of last weeks 1 million share buy by their CEO, just before earnings. The market was thinking the same thing I was apparently. The stock shot up to end the week, and after the results, it sold off. The earnings were fine, but no blowout like many thought possible. I do like their product (lithium ion battery sales-mostly in China), and their balance sheet (solid amount of cash for a company of its size). On the technical side, there is little support near current levels, and the stock could fall a bit more. I may look at buying it if it gets back to the 2.50-3.00 range. Also, there was Granite City Food and Brewery ([More...]

Big Time Insider Buy On This Stock

Sun, 10 May 2009 01:30:12 GMT

As I've said over the past couple of weeks, I like to track the trends of insider buys/sells. The trend has been that the insiders have been selling at a higher than average margin. There are a few opinions as to why this is happening, and they are likely one of the following: 1) They have been waiting to sell shares but didn't want to sell at previous depressed levels 2) They don't have a ton of confidence in this recent rally and want to get out of their shares 3) They anticipate higher tax rates on the horizon (Got this from Todd Sullivan at Value Plays). When I read Barrons.com, I take a look at the insider buying[More...]

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 14:16:00 GMT

Good morning. Premarket futures are indicating a mixed start following some M&A activity (see ROH, CTLM, & XLTC) and better than expected jobless claims (although continuing claims rose). Retail sales, like from Wal-Mart(WMT), also were coming in a little above expectations. Financials are under pressure as concerns remain in place for Fannie and Freddie among many others.
