I agree, Ian. My second trip on this stock has nearly made up the loss =

tried it. Sequential growth particularly impressive.

  Thanks a lot for the chart analysis. The low volume during the new =
high to $13.50, and the high volume/no progress days on 1/10, 1/11, and =
1/15 were the things that concerned me. I convinced myself that the =
low-volume high was just a case of 'too much, too fast' off the $5 =
October low. The recent high volume/no movement days are what concern =
me.

  There shouldn't be much concern with P/E. The company claimed that Q4 =
2001, and Q1 2002 were already filled with existing backlog, and I =
figure that a minimum of $0.16 per Q is easy - so 4 months from now, the =
ttm EPS will be at least $0.70 if not more, and the P/E at current =
levels would be under 20. Given their industry group and recent growth =
rate, a much higher price could easily be supported. But I would like to =
see more signs of volume accumulation here.=20

  After the next earnings report the IBD EPS ranking should go over 85, =
and the RS is over 90 already, so it should start appearing on IBD radar =
screens for the first time - including the weekend review. Perhaps it =
will be a month or so before the next clear direction becomes visible.

  Thanks again,

  Ian

    Hi Ian,

    Your question has me wondering whether the sell rules that I follow =
translate perfectly to thinly traded stocks. But I'll tell you what I =
see and the way I would read it if I were to own it:

    -After the B/O at 7.13, stock moves up and consolidates for about 5 =
weeks. This is a "valid" consolidation so that makes the previous base =
low 8.01 which was printed on 11/23/01.
    -Just as a quick check for "overextension" that means that the stock =
is 70% above the 200dMA (7.02), 15% above the 50dMA (10.43) and 49.6% =
above the base low (8.01). It gets a yellow flag for being 70% above the =
200dMA according to WON's sell rule #34, but does not get a red flag for =
the Rubberband Sell Rule.
    -After the consolidation and breakout 12/18 the stock has started to =
show signs of stress. This could easily be market related, but no way to =
tell.
    -1/2/02: New high on low volume. Red flag.
    -1/10/02 & 1/11/02- two days with little or no price progress on =
high volume. Red flag.
    -With 1 yellow and 2 red flags I thought it worth doing a PE =
Extension check. I've reconstructed the PE at the time of the B/O in =
October using trailing EPS numbers for the prior quarters. That puts it =
at $7.13/$.29 =3D 24.59. The extension warning would then be a forward =
PE of 24.59*2.21=3D 54.3. Let's see. DGO doesn't have any estimates, =
which means it isn't followed by enough analysts. I checked the internet =
to see if I could find anything and ran across this EPS/Rev snapshot:

    =
http://yahoo.marketguide.com/MGI/mg.asp?target=3D/stocks/companyinformati=
on/highlights&Ticker=3DELTE

    I am alarmed by the essentially flat revenues over the last 4 years, =
so I am going to go with the EPS estimates in my VectorVest software =
which reads a measly $.02. That puts the current forward looking PE at =
$11.98/$0.02 =3D 599! I'll have to mark that Red Flag.

    One note is that its industry is fairly healthy, consolidating after =
rising, not overly extended and currently ranked in the 2nd quartile.

    I'll let you take it from there!

    Katherine

      Would tuesdays distribution day for ELTE make you exit the stock =
at this point? Do you have any other insights into the chart?

      I would appreciate your analysis - it is the one big recent winner =
I am wondering what to do with. Based on all of my past experiences, and =
knowing the companies outlook, my gut tells me that it needs to =
consolidate here, but will run into the $20's by mid-year. But I'd =

      Thank you.
