btw, I sold out of majority of HYGS at about 20% profit. Will watch for now.

Andy,

good job on taking profits on HYGS. HYGS has been consolidating for a bit now. I should have taken some off the table but I hesitated. Maybe this coming week. I ran a chart on CRNT. It looks like it is bouncing off of a short term bottom. Too early to tell if it will be a sustainable move. As far as running a chart, what do you mean?? You want me to post a chart of the stock or give you my analysis/opinion on it?

And quite a bounce that was; CRNT! I'm glad you pointed it out, Andy. It's an interesting business model for those who care about that too ;) [offering backbone "cabling" through microwave, for cellular companies.]

I'm only slightly concerned that it ran up too much on Friday, but if the "interest" seemed to maintain itself over the next week, I'd like it for a quick trade (next couple of trading days, rather), conceding pretty volatile risks in it.

From your more disciplined perspective, Nick, I'm interested in your opinion as well.

Nick, thanks for your opinion on CRNT. Really that is all I needed, and as always very appreciated.

Chad, CRNT reports Monday and that may set a trend for it. They have been hit with slowing business in US but have been raking it in from developing countries (BRIC et al...)

I missed on IMAX, was a given that the name will receive a lot of publicity around Batman's release and was at less than 7 bucks a week ago! Have a small position in that one from low 7's (this is from two months ago).

Happy Sunday!

Chad and Andy,

From a technical perspective, CRNT seems to be putting in a short term bottom. If earnings are a positive surprise, expect a nice spike up. So far, the stock seems to have run up in anticipation of earnings. Personally, I will just be watching it and not playing it. I have a negative bias towards stocks that still show a downtrend on the weekly. I tried to give MVIS a chance a few weeks ago (thinking it bottomed) and it blew up on me. One nice stock to watch that may bottoming out is JOEZ. PARL is another good one. Just my 2 cents.
Anyways, I will be rather busy tomorrow, so do not be surprised if I do not post any new picks or add ons.
