Bolt Technology Corp. (BOLT)

Good growh,no bad price

Following TigerPack with this one.
See the excellent pitch by babachrono.

8% return in FCF during a down year is nothing to sneeze at. For $9/share (net of cash in the bank) you're getting a company that consistently makes better than $1/year. Acquisition or dividend are both possible catalysts here. Watch triple top around 13 but a nice value anywhere below that.

Basic supply and demand. Oil is scarce and as supplies shrink, price will go up and the need to find more will go up.

Low debt. Oil manufacturing company. As oil becomes harder to find and acquire, technology to find and retrieve it will become more important - exponentially more important. This is a bet on our demand for oil increasing over the next 10 years.

Rated 5 stars.

Getting in now while it is ratable. This supplier to the oil industry is available at 1.45 times book and 8 times earnings. Likely to soar if oil does not crash.

Riding the wagon on this one!

4% insider, 40% institutional ownership. 50% off its 52-week high. No insider activity in the last year in either direction. Revenues and expenses remaining steady through the downturn. Increasing cash on hand, no LT debt, have cash equal to 20% of their market cap...very very stong financial position to be in right now with the poor economy. They sell high tech with not many competitors. With oil coming back up again should see their business pick back up, as exploration companies upgrade/replace their old equipment, or buy new to back fill anything they may have sold or written off in a struggle to make it through the recession.

Despite selling off a major division, I can not vote against past performance especially in a market like this. A proven performer and I will remain positive until I hear otherwise on 10/27/08.

This is a concern with real potential....... Read Eldrehads picks blog.

There may very well be short term pain

"Drill, drill, drill!" --T. Boone Pickens

P/E = 11.9x v.17.0x for S&P 500
Price/Sales = 2.6x v. 1.2x
Profit Margin = 21.4% v 6.5%
Return on Equity = 27.0% v 13.0%
Return on Assets = 24.2% v 3.7%
Long Term Growth Rate = 42.2% v 12.8%
PEG Ratio = 0.3x v 1.3x

They have the product that the oil companies have to have in deep water oil exploration, no real competition

Strong cash flow, zero debt, P/E of 12, small cap which leads the market out of recessions, plus the following statement from the earnings that were just released: “We are pleased to report our third consecutive year of record sales and earnings in fiscal 2008. Worldwide demand for our seismic exploration equipment, including the products of Real Time Systems which we acquired at the beginning of the year, continued at high levels. Sales of $61,635,000 increased 31% and earnings of $13,709,000 increased 37% over last year. We currently have cash in excess of $20,000,000 and we are actively seeking additional companies for acquisition.”

TMFEldrehad is right. This company is a great investment, so long as oil prices don't tank.

Amazing growth in earnings and no debt.

Another stock ready to go.

Going along with Eldrehad.

"growing the top line between 26.9% and 54.8% in each of the past four years (a trend that shows little real signs of slowing as the top line growth for the most recently completed quarter clocked in at 31%), seeing ever increasing amounts of scale and leverage as it has grown, and sporting a trailing P/E around 13"
