Down Down Down we go,where it stops nobody shall know.Although sales growth shows nice improvement,all else is downhill big time and does not come close to being able to justify the high flying price.Net profit margin minus 82.00% High dept/Equity Ratio for a company showing income minus - 257 million.Analist with moderate buy on it. I guess their eye doctor is at a different time frame and location then mine.
What do you think now after the latest Q1 and company 2008 guidance ($515-535 & $1.55-1.68 EPS)? I really like this company's potential and I think Genotyping has a HUGE future, but I would like the price to come down a bit for an entry point with some margin for safety.
Hows it going griderX? To be honest after reading earnings and looking at guidence. I'm going to get stamped again on another one of my downgrades if management makes it happen,ha!ha! And they seem sure! After Walt stamping all over me and taking my cloths,maybe I need to find a new eye doctor for elderly and impaired,ha!ha! Bad thing is Walt was one of my big winners this decade,but I'v made it a point to grab profits and go,on the first thing I see that bothers me. Yea,if you like it then your investment opinion is NO.1,just like mine is for me. Tried going with some one elses pics other than me or my wife twice,and it cost me both times.So,only advice I say is go with your opinion,but I do aggree to look for a better price.Man I'll tell you,since I moved here to china with my wife, I think I'm getting as crazy as them,well, i'm not quiet that bad yet. Although,she beats me every year,and is again this year.I still like to compete with her,and love this market. Lady luck or not,she is now 23 market stampers out of 24,for this decade,both in U.S. company's and chinese. Her 3 in my list this year are SINA,BHI,and TSL which is beating my STP and mowing down some Bear. She has not told me to buy or put it in my list yet,but she said ACH is her next one to rock the markets clock. You can check it and see what you think. All the best to you. Hope you stamp the 2008 bear make a fortune. My wife says "Bear? "Where? She says,the hog wash news is word for word repeats and the market has went up and down since she can remember. Ssssss "Thumbs up to Mrs. china doll for that keen eye.
I still have this one on my watch list...waiting for the day MR. Market punishs them for some petty news. I picked up some MR after the stock tanked and now I'm sitting pretty. I really enjoy medical technology/biotech companies...making profit and changing lives for the better (most of the time).
Hows it hang'en griderX? Smart move on MR.,but I guess you already know that. Medical, medical technology, insurance, and care facilities in china should pop a top when everything gets boosted on the new gov reforms that will stretch out for this decade and MR,LFC,CMED are well positioned and connected. Most investers seem to see Solar,and wind power,and the grid changes that will take effect,also the internet and gaming business that will boom for the next decade and maybe 2 before it levels, but I'm surprised of all the other growth that is being over looked,and in some cases ignored.( Insurance,Medical, Auto Parts, Rail Roads, Construction of Highways,agriculture will break the calculater going forward. Take Note: Marketing,Catalog and mail order has started to take off here and is getting more popular by the minute and that growth is being over looked with this population.That and medical and agricuture are the most undervalued chinese stocks on the market.Look around the shade trees at some of these Bulls.Best time to buy a bull is when he's resting. Bear market in china? Ha! Ha! People will print anything these days. All the best on your investments.
DANG...this one just doesn't want to pull back...Shares of Illumina Inc. reached an all-time high Wednesday morning after the genetic analysis company reported greater profit and revenue than analysts expected in its second quarter, and raised expectations for the year.The San Diego company's profit and revenue both grew 66 percent in the June quarter and easily surpassed Wall Street estimates. Illumina raised its full-year profit forecast to a range of $1.65 to $1.75 per share, and lifted its revenue outlook above analysts' expectations, to between $550 million and $560 million.I still don't want to touch this one...very little margin of safety at these prices. ISRG also continues to amaze me with it's growth...
Yea,it seems to keep running. I'm getting killed on a couple of these downgrades and this is one of them. With this market dropping the way it is,even a cheap scape like me,is starting to get ready to buy. I have mostly been looking at some of the high yield. ISRG is a stock like FSLR,BIDU, IRBTand others. They can not be gaged with a calculator. Those kind of stocks go as high when they run as they go low when they fall. I own shares of the last 3 and have been holding for a while but I never had a chance to get in on ISRG. I like the company and It could keep running,Who Knows?,but I just can't see risking it. I'm mostly looking for div. and yield to finish my investment while the market is dropping. Alot of deer in the woods.Good hunting
