Can't help it, I know of no stranger dude than myself.

My new find is FTEK. They make coal-fired plants more efficient and form less slag, and scrubber to clean up the exhaust. Have had some contracts in China.

Note average volume continuing to build with high relative strength. ROE is 26%.
On 5/3, this appeared in a forbes article, http://www.forbes.com/2006/05/03/hok...apbox_inl.html
"While obvious, pure-play alternative energy companies have already been bid up dramatically, there are a few smaller-cap peripheral plays that are worthy of consideration.

Given the abundance of coal within America's borders, coal-fired power-generation businesses should offer above-average growth opportunities. Growth in China and emerging market economies favors coal-fired electricity generation, and many of those plants will require emissions control. Companies that help to combat the pollution consequences of coal generation will have the wind at their back.

Our favorite is Fuel Tech N.V. Fuel Tech helps utility and industrial customers reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, which in turn helps reduce air pollution. Sales jumped 110% in the fourth quarter of 2005, and pre-tax profits nearly doubled as well. We have added Fuel Tech to the model portfolio this month and expect earnings to be released May 9."

Doug-E-Fresh (IIC) likes FTEK too Stenz.... There was a little discussion on his thread about it and some other tickers in the group a couple of weeks back.

You still holding your PARL or did you get shaken out yesterday?.... I'm still holding on.

Took some battered PARL shares off the table today, same with COGT. Holding the rest for the eventual turnaround.

FTEK breakout to new high today, volume running above average again. Certainly not the only stock in the market doing that, but looks very good.
I bought at $16 and $17 (give or take a few cents) in March and April.
Added some more at 17.50 yesterday.
At $18.40 today, that's 8,904,665,768% return on an annualized basis on the last block!

LOL...nice job...I was busy watching GFIG breakout.

BTW...the reason FTEK broke out today was because I posted it on IIC's Killer Watch Lists last night..

FTEK and VTIV report in the morning.
PARL is running nicely, glad I only sold a bit in desperation near the bottom.

Curve

At $18.40 today, that's 8,904,665,768% return on an annualized basis on the last block!

That's pretty awesome. Of course, everyone realizes that is still on the way steep portion of the curve, and similar losses would offset it.

FTEK and VTIV report in the morning.

And MFLX reports after the bell today.

[stenzrob]

FTEK and VTIV reports not well received by the market, but I have confidence in prospects for both.

PARL provided a glance at upcoming results that looked great, so it sold off. I picked up some shares at 26.50.

New analyst coverage on VTIV this morning by BofA: buy - $37 target. Still holding core position from $26 and waiting for technical turn to buy back trading shares that were sold just above $32 a month ago.

FTEK bouncing, this will breakout again soon.

PARL comments on the PARL thread.

BOOM shows on my screen. Had some, but sold for very small profit when they first announced SNPE unloading. Pricing announced, this could run once the shares are off the block.

CRYP shows on my screen. Has been a bit unpredictable lately, with news of major customers coming and going. Needs more study about who and why.

Just bought some CRYP for $27.50.

Beat estimates, raised guidance. Trailing PE is less than half the earnings growth rate.

Still waiting for a technical turn.

News of new customers in Europe. It's a bit of a wild ride, but this company (and stock) has very nice potential to grow, grow, grow.

I like it too, Stenz.

I'd love to see one of your inimitable write-ups on this one, Ernie.
