Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Kemet is in the market of making tantalum capacitors, another one of those highly exciting businesses. When you wake up from that introduction you'll see a company that got incredibly overbought and ahead of itself in 1999-2000 and has now returned to a very attractive valuation.

Recs 0 (KEM) llgrout (47.16) Submitted: 8/11/08 1:08 PM : Start Price: $1.84 KEM Score: -7.34 I like value stocks, but am taking an even greater than normal risk with this one. I think that the company has nearly hit its bottom, and now is time for an upswing. I think that they are fairly well ran and that the attempt to keep costs down will be successful, and that the future should be much brighter. Still, more than the average risk for a value stock even, this one can see $4 in a year or less. It bears close watching, as it won't take much to send it back down. Good luck to all of you who agree with me. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment. Check to see if there's something you left out.

Recs 2 (KEM) NeroSagetrade (86.61) Submitted: 1/10/08 7:22 PM : Start Price: $5.75 KEM Score: -61.91 Kemet is in the market of making tantalum capacitors, another one of those highly exciting businesses. When you wake up from that introduction you'll see a company that got incredibly overbought and ahead of itself in 1999-2000 and has now returned to a very attractive valuation. Kemet is trading well below its book valuation and has shown a steady increase in its revenue stream since 2005. In 2005 Kemet produced a shade over 400M in revenue and should produce 1.03B in 2009 and in that time span has seen its stock lose 65% of its value. They are solidly profitable, trading at a forward price to earnings of just 8.2, and have more than enough cash to survive a downturn after a 125M dollar convertible note offering a few weeks back. Solid support in the $5 range on the long-term chart. I see good things in Kemet's future. Nero Sagetrade Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
